Organizations like the National Alliance On Mental Illness (NAMI), which receives funding from the pharmaceutical industry, favor the implementation of Laura's Law in California. The basic premise of the law is that there are two kinds of people in society. One kind suffers from an amorphous condition called mental illness. The other kind have ( Read more... )

How are fascism and capitalism related? Before we investigate this question we need to agree on a definition of fascism and capitalism. Both are social constructs that are conceived differently in different social circles. I have heard it said that a lone fruit vendor qualifies as a participant in capitalism. This does not conform to the ( Read more... )

Different people use words differently, especially when multiple disciplines use the same word in ways that are unique to the discipline. Pseudo-science is one such word. People in the "hard" sciences use it to refer to "soft" sciences. People in the "soft" sciences use it to refer to the mytho-poetic use of scientific jargon. The way I use it ( Read more... )

When someone like Elliot Rodger commits an atrocity by killing people out of spite, a great deal of hand-wringing occurs with the words "mental illness" thrown in. Rodger' atrocity was socially unacceptable, so his actions are seen as symptomatic of "illness." When the federal government commits similar atrocities, they are considered socially ( Read more... )

Aaron Alexis complained of being harassed by military personnel who used electronic equipment to disturb his sleep. Those who are unfamiliar with neural wave technology consider this to be a symptom of psychosis. They base this on the false assumption that such equipment does not exist combined with the fact that Alexis' complaints match the ( Read more... )

During the developmental phase of our networking technology we encountered a significant level of resistance in the form of data corrupting machines. Rather than seeing this as a form of network sabotage we incorporated the corrupting elements into our developmental test environment as fault injection machines. Our own technology would need to be ( Read more... )

One of the things we tell our newest students is that they cannot hide their participation in our school from neural scanners. The ability to defeat a neural scanner requires a significant amount of experience with neural scanning equipment. We naturally expect scanning technology to improve as more people become accustomed to it and develop ( Read more... )

A video on a Christian conspiracy theory on power politics abuses the Gnostic handle by mixing it up with Jesuits, Freemasons and neo-conservatives. The theory posits the core belief as a desire for apotheosis (the deification of the individual). This theory portrays Lucifer as the human potential and everything that disagrees with the advocate, ( Read more... )

What are the advantages of understanding neural wave technology? As with anything understanding it is better than being in the dark. As an example of what can happen to those who are in the dark, take the case of Danita. She thought that she heard a divine voice urging her to pursue a business career. What she heard was probably a human voice ( Read more... )

The military guys would not tell us the name of their neural wave research project so we dubbed it Lion's Gate. They have been pretty frustrated by their inability to overcome civilian networking capabilities. One of our guys pointed out that that is ultimately impossible given the number of civilians compared to the number of military personnel ( Read more... )
