  • I've seen three of Harold's interviews now. He mentioned the "study of everything" in each interview; doesn't matter what the subject at hand is.

  • Well done Harold.

  • Life is a plethora of forces that can spin badly. It seems like it has contest rules that do not apply well to an ongoing game. Seems like everyone has to decide who they can be in the context of their life environment. A great deal has to be "normalized" in a conceptual sense. This is likely why most people gravitate toward "normal" even if it means going into deadly combat to kill people almost like themselves and shooting back for the same "normal" reasons. Status stability!

  • i think compassion gets lost in attempts to standardize our games, rules, and methods, then trying to enforce that. Instead of walking across a field, we now all have to navagate a series fences and obstacles. It helps to have assistance and not have it be a gauntlet. It feels painfully unnatural to me. Of course i learned how to navagate on stormy seas near a rocky shoreline. Some people do better some worse. I hated Jehovah's Witness biz.

  • You fellows are fortunate. i grew up in a maximized alienation community. It was the Jehovah's Witnesses who would try to isolate and indoctrinate, then it was the first grade teacher who tried to make me feel like i was totally comdemned because i was doing what the JWs told me. Apparently i was one of those more sensory types being brought up to obey and repeat under the immanent threat of some "death" punishments. Intimidated and alienated. So much paranoia, so little time to adapt!

  • It is almost like a natural law. The more damage that is done either psychologically, phyically, or in a nature destroying way, the more money the person "earns" or gets. What would ever happen if we did not have more. Seems like "responsible people would try not to cause a condition of "overgrowth". It seems like civilization is heading for unseen disasters. It seems scarey since we are about to enter a new age of invention. There needs to be rules covering excess property and power..

  • Money is the most abstract unit of value, and can be invested in hiearchal ways. Money is needed, but it has made possible all manner of secretive gambits. i guess that's a problem or will be a problem as the possible permutations play out in civilziation. At some point some person will want to go beyond the civilized game. I have heard that the "top players" have some deadly kinds of things for more money and control. An airplane goes down with no explanation, maybe that's how they talk.

  • Most things that we use come from "a centralized source". My idea in terms of energy is to try to create energy growing communities. Groups or families could do this. This probably would mean cooperatives that could try to max growth of the best fuel.  It would be "educated work" that would require a variety of skills, and "sunny spaces". It could be like traditional learning with science and engineering. There's too much "gaming" in present religion and social reality!

  • It seems like as soon as one starts to go to school they begin to start teaching through competitive games(this would include the three Rs). It seems like this way possible "overviews or innerviews" are somewhat hampered toward futher development. It must be difficult to teach "qualitatively" in a classroom setting. I suppose that this is why the Einsteins of the world tend not to do well in grading reality. It is similar to the push a pedal and get a reward lab rat reality.

  • When a little tyke i remember going from one bad time to the next. It gave me a sense of dread and alienation. Not enough nature and movement. All the adult stuff was dogmatic and "sit down torure". It seems like it could still be "unhappy" for kids. I would not know what to do. Everything is such a big hoopla and mindless competition. We might be entering a robotized world, but maybe idiocracy. My guess is i could be better adapted in the next life.
