<div>
So, it has come to my attention that I may have inadvertently
confused a number of people regarding Dungeons and Dragons. This was <i>not</i> my intention. As a result, I have decided to release my character memos so that you can fully understand who I was when I <i>was</i>
and what you shouldn't do (namely, magic). It will come as some
surprise to some, though not to the actual rogues, that I never, ever
played a rogue, ever ─ not even close. As comical as that may sound to
those in the know, I understand that also may have deceived some people.<br />
<br />
I will release my character backgrounds in order, from my first to my last character, and I will include a briefing on each one:<br />
<br />
1) Ezra Gram<br />
<br />
(A half-elf druid, a poet, a philosopher of sorts... also a <b>technical pacifist</b>
who refuses to harm any creature, even a ferocious goblin, so long as
he has it in his power to avoid doing so. Pound possessed great
understanding about biology, nature, animals, and the life sciences, but
he was by almost no means a threatening figure.)<br />
<br />
Official Background (declassified):<br />
A
wanderer from the Isle of Arenway, Ezra Gram, at the youthful age of
50, ventured forth from his humble collective farm in the heart of the
Verduran forest, in search of adventure. On his mother's side, Gram
descends from a knowledgeable line of elven druids, and his family
taught him to understand and commune with the natural world. Ezra's
father, a human cleric of Pharasma, spent his youth working alongside
his coveted wife in the druid's bountiful grove, always maintaining a
steadfast commitment to defend Arenway and its druids against any
unnatural incursion. From his father, Ezra Gram inherited a devotion to
The Lady of Graves as well as an iron contempt for the forces of the
unnatural.<br />
<br />
Ezra Gram values the natural wonders of Golarian, far
and wide, more than any fame or fortune, though he has never been known
to pass up the allure of a coin when necessary or expedient. Nature has
always been an ally to him in his travels. He values its neutrality,
inherent beauty, and purity.<br />
<br />
**************************************************************************<br />
<br />
The
summer before last, Gram overheard the crew of a pirate vessel in the
port of Merab discussing plans to sell a captured baby gorilla to the
owner of a local plantation. The druid, an empathic friend of all
animals, surreptitiously entered the pirate ship that night and found a
poorly nourished and miserable baby ape. Appalled by the enslavement and
mistreatment of this intelligent creature, Gram stole the baby animal
and fled town before the pirates could discover his deed. He named the
ape Georgia and has raised her into a youthful and dexterous companion.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
Pirates
stole Georgia from the Mwangi expanse when she was a baby in order to
sell her into a life of mistreatment and toil on a big plantation near
the port of Merab. Fortunately, she was rescued from this fate by her
companion, the druid of Pharasma Ezra Gram.<br />
<br />
2) Ashteroth<br />
<br />
(A
vile demon-spawn, also awkward, cowardly in the extreme, and a lover of
comfortable amenities, leisure, and convenience whenever possible.
Though he had formidable talents, this beast mostly just wanted to hang
out at the tavern and converse. If he ever became injured, he would be
the first to volunteer you to save him, especially when facing a
challenging opponent. After all, he's too important.)<br />
<br />
Official Background (declassified):<br />
Teetering
on the axis between ultimate Truth and the vilest insanity, Ashteroth
ventured forth from his dilapidated shanty in the ghetto of an unnamed
large city, where his religious insistence on the superiority of Virtue
made him quite the oddball in a community dominated by the persecuted,
thieves, and scoundrels. Were he more intelligent or perhaps simply not
cultivated by fellow tieflings, the divine path of the cleric might have
appeared the obvious choice to such a devoted individual. Yet, fate
insisted on a different discipline for this curious demon-spawn. The
divine beings, with their close-minded bigotry and foundation in utter
self-deception and proud narcissism, refused to accept such a queer
being as a potential ally. Their intolerance provided Ashteroth with all
the proof he needed to conclude true Virtue had nothing at all to do
with the deceitful gods or their petty grievances with his mischievous
or downright sadistic forebears.<br />
<br />
As a young tiefling, Ashteroth
consoled himself in the sweet melodies of beautiful music, imagining
himself, the rejected creation, as a role model for all the downtrodden
and misunderstood, midst a beautiful crescendo of elegant rhythm in his
mind. The young demon spawn developed a love for tales of fate and
adventure, of heroes and fame. His persecution only served to engender
the Truth in his soul. Ashteroth's unique disposition finally impressed
Pharasma, who pitied the demon spawn his unfortunate misunderstanding
among the gods. The Lady of Graves herself interfered with the natural
order to provide this tiefling with magic, imbued into the music he
played and the stories he recounted.<br />
<br />
Ashteroth traveled from town
to town, hearing gossip and spreading enchanted rumors. Everywhere he
went and with every song he sang and every story he told, the place
received the blessing of his Virtue and the favor of Pharasma, whose
tears legitimized his vision. Unfortunately, the people never noticed.
To them, as had always been, the tiefling was a curse, albeit one no one
dared challenge, as his reputation among the ordinary folk benefitted
from their growing attachment to his message, personality, and to the
general improvement in conditions that his presence foretells. Ashteroth
has always been a curious dichotomy in the public eye, an undeniable
boon as well as the suspected material of all they had been conditioned
by the gods to distaste. To the unaquainted, no matter how much they may
come to love his reputation, his demon ancestry still bogs the bard's
unadulterated gospel.<br />
<br />
But what does he care? The psychic conflict
he creates among the public only serves to fuel his fame, something
that Ashteroth unquestionably loves. And given time, no opinion of him
is outside of his reach to improve. So Ashteroth now seeks new
adventures and new tales to fuel his magics and his literary legacy,
hopefully for eons to come. His ancient Father would smile proudly on
his scion's lust for fame. And Pharasma smiles, too, at the tiefling's
vision and determination.<br />
<br />
3) Elrond Hubbard<br />
<br />
(My final
character, a svelte forest gnome, Elrond had had his share of
experiences by the time I wrote his bio. Tending drastically towards the
likes of Pelor and Ilmater, this newly humbled creature was the last of
my stabs at engaging directly with the fantasy genre. After Mr.
Hubbard, shit simply became too real, and I was forced to resign him to
the nearest monastery.)<br />
<br />
Don't place faith in human beings; Human beings are unreliable things<br />
<br />
Background:<br />
The
birds whispered Elrond's fate, before he ever left the womb. Buried
deep in the burrows of his kin, Elrond was born into poverty. As a
child, he became fixated with stories about the oath-sworn Paladins of
humankind. His family could not discover how to communicate with him, to
cause him to care about the things around him. Elrond only cared about
the purity in his own mind. Eventually, the young gnome set off on his
own path, one where no one could follow. He found an arch-illusionist's
spellbook, and he cast a powerful spell of invisibility on himself.
Afterwards, he left to explore the world in silence and reflection.<br />
<br />
What
he found confused him and displeased him. Whether he visited a human
village, an orcish tribe, or an elfin city, everyone bickered among
themselves. No one put the truth above their petty grievances. In such
places, greed, pride, and even vile sorcery dominated the lands.<br />
<br />
Finally,
in the city of Luskan, a powerful mage discovered Elrond's presence. He
expended many potent jewels to reveal this supposed master spy. And
when he finally overcame the gnome's illusory cunning, what he
discovered surprised him. The young monk was no spy at all, but only a
wandering teacher with a dogmatic message.<br />
<br />
Elrond had remained
invisible for so long that he could not remember his surroundings to be
more than dreams, and as dreams he treated them. He spoke of the great
cities of men and elves as if they were nothing more than the stuff of
tall tales, stories filled with intrigue, evil, deceit, and unending
struggle. When the mage heard Elrond's tale, he laughed bitterly, for he
learned the monk's dogmatic implication.<br />
<br />
Elrond suggested that
the mage cast a powerful spell, causing the whole world to be engulfed
in a zone of truth. The mage responded that he found it ironic in all
Elrond's travels he never dared to notice that the hearts of men were
filled with evil, and that in the balance, such men describe the whole
of mankind. The mage began casting a spell, and Elrond dashed away. He
ran deep into the forest.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile performing his first job for
the Overland Merchant Guild, this newly christened monk's ship to
Baldur's Gate crashed unexpectedly. Gathering himself and his freshly
encountered elven friend Zalak, the two escaped its flotsam, narrowly
averted swarming sharks, and made their way on a makeshift raft to a
nearby island. Following the tracks of a recently deceased and chained
lizardman, the pair scouted a tiefling chained by his neck.<br />
<br />
Zalak
and Elrond heroically defeated a monstrous bugbear who was holding the
tiefling prisoner, the monk placing himself directly in the path of the
ferocious beast. As the bugbear's blood flowed into the sand, the
substance began to boil and hiss, whispering, "Today Elrond becomes the
white monk." Elrond jumped back in fear as the sand consumed this blood,
boiling it and vaporizing it, sending it far into the night sky. Elrond
caught the last glimmer of its silvery ghost swimming as he gazed into
the atmosphere. Everything looked so uncanny in the black and white of
his dark vision. Elrond meditated that night. A mantra repeated itself
in the background of his mind:<br />
<br />
"Eagerly upon the 'morrow / Vainly
I sought to borrow / From my book surcease from sorrow / Sorrow for the
lost Lenore / Remembered here forevermore"<br />
<br />
Trinket detail:<br />
I
picked up a tiny silver bell from the smoldering corpse of a decapitated
vampire, and I put it in my pocket as a souvenir. It was the trademark
token of a famous vampire slayer in Neverwinter.<br />
<br />
**********************************************************<br />
<br />
So,
there you have it. I never played anything but a cleric of some kind,
though definitely a foolish one, a cowardly story-teller, and a
chastised and re-christened monk, obviously one who was as interested in
meditative ascendance as he was in eternal mystery and also Ilmater.
Since then, Elrond has learned much from his stay at the monastery, and
he would like to determinedly and fervently warn you away from magic.
There's nothing more precious than the truth. Farewell, and may Elrond's
prayers remain with you.<br />
<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><i>The Interest section identifies the ideal job content for you by identifying your motivations and preferences, called Worker Traits. These traits are listed in order of priority. Typically, what one wants to do is that which he/she is most likely to do and do it often enough (including training for it) to transform the raw interest into real skills, and then, to stay on that job. The Interest section of your MAPP report outlines your preferences toward work in relation to people, creativity, social activities, routine, tools, equipment and more. The Interest section is the first glance of your top motivators. Each section thereafter will inter-relate and you will begin seeing themes about the types of tasks and work that you prefer.</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is conscious of existence, meaning, purpose, potential and destiny of humankind, people, and self. Yellow is motivated by a self-felt, self-accepted calling to the cause of good, growth, and gain in the lives of others. Influential communication of ideas is a primary way of achieving those objectives. Perception and thinking tend to be holistic and conceptual; i.e., seeing the big picture. It is important to see which of the other traits are interactive with this trait because there can be many interesting combinations. This is a major trait in cultural, intellectual, academic, and creative activities. It includes ideas, concepts, theory, ethics, and values.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Preferences for Yellow fully support being perceptually, subconsciously, and consciously aware of fantasy, symbols, symbolic relationships, abstract ideas, options, and choice of options as they relate to creative or innovative activities. Perception triggers ideas in Yellow mind, a process that just happens - a process often called intuition. It is not a conscious effort to logically "come up with" creative ideas; instead, the process is best identified with the statement that "a thought struck me." A quote by Carl Jung probably makes complete sense to Yellow: "Art is innate in the artist, like an instinct that seizes and makes a tool out of the human being. The thing in the final analysis that wills something in him is not he, the personal man, but the aim of the art."</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow has a curiosity and awareness about the nature and utility of things. Analysis and experimentation are part of vocational and recreational activities. But those are probably not specialized or professional activities. Instead, they are a part of a mix of functional preferences. Preferences that are technically oriented cause Yellow to think systematically and to be motivated where challenging activities are developmental or experimental.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is moderately motivated to manage others on a social or organizational basis as part of overall vocational responsibilities and activities. Rather than functioning in the top executive or managerial position or role, Yellow is possibly more comfortable with a position in middle management or as a group or team leader. Motivational levels of related traits can identify reasons and/or preferences for such management roles and responsibility.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow enjoys associating and interacting with people but likes independence as well. So the activity, rather than people, is more than likely the deciding factor. Where mutual interest is the purpose for association, Yellow willingly participates and cooperates. Where interests differ, Yellow will independently pursue those interests.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow enjoys social or vocational interaction with others but is not dependent on direct contact and association. If some work responsibilities or activities require functioning apart from others, it can be done without the need for social breaks to be with others. This flexibility is an asset in trade activities, operating machines or equipment, and in many technical and outdoor activities.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is motivated to work on projects that are planned, scheduled, and completed. This indicates a preference to complete a project rather than leave it unfinished. But completion or achievement may be offset by switching to a project of higher priority and/or interest, with the hope that the uncompleted project may be done another day. What is not completed will probably be kept in mind until it is completed.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow prefers and may even require change and variety. Sameness and routine cause loss of interest, drive, and energy. Yellow probably sees a truth in the saying "a change is as good as a rest." This individual enjoys vocation, recreation, and/or vacations that include lots of change and variety, new challenges and experiences as well as new contacts and acquaintances.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is motivated very little by physically working with things and objects as a primary or important part of work or recreation. Other activities carry a higher priority. Sensory/physical traits have probably not been developed well enough to be considered a motivational feature of work.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow has little need for or is not motivated by recognition, status, or competitive gain. Comfortable and satisfied with a subjective estimate of self in relation to others, opinions others hold about this person do not present serious effects, one way or the other. For Yellow, personal and internal interests or drive motivates performance, not the promise of favor, recognition, or reward from external sources.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><i>This Temperament section identifies the motivation and talent an individual possesses in twelve Worker Trait Areas and coincides with the Interest section. The Temperament and Interest sections say the same thing from a different perspective. Your highest motivators will be displayed first. In this section you will learn things such as; do you prefer lots of change and variety on the job, are you persuasive, do you prefer to work in teams or independently, are you a naturally driven to evaluate and analyze, and more.</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow prefers and needs change and variety. Change is motivating, stimulating, and energizing. Yellow looks for new options, challenges, assignments, acquaintances, relationships, and even new careers in new places. Yellow tires of sameness, repetition, and routine even in activities that were interesting at the start. Once things become routine for Yellow , this becomes a motivation to move on to more interesting things.</div>

Yellow is most likely benevolent, voluntarily giving of self to help others, especially regarding current pain, hurts, stress, needs, and problems. This means empathetic, sympathetic, intentional, personal involvement in the personal lives of others to give help, sacrificially if necessary, and to subjectively gain personal satisfaction from providing personal service. (NOTE: emphasis is on the word "personal." This is a heart trait and is totally self-motivated and voluntary. It is one of the most strongly motivated traits in determining vocational dedication. The word "others" is important in the context of benevolence) Yellow is probably more benevolent toward persons not intimately, formally, or organizationally related. (NOTE: Benevolence expects those in close relationships to join in the giving rather than being a priority recipient.) Nonetheless, Yellow probably exhibits benevolence toward all persons. But benevolence does have priorities about eligibility of persons for help.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
(NOTE: "Evaluation: to appraise carefully; to judge as to worth or amount; to estimate generally.") Most likely, Yellow has a logical mind which "makes sense" of what is perceived regarding the big picture and pieces of the picture within the context of that big picture. It is evaluation or assessment after perception, not the process of perception itself. Emphasis is on patterns, linkage, and relationships. Intuition may be involved in conjunction with this evaluation/assessment process.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow has a strong preference to work under the management or supervision of others who are competent and knowledgeable in their area of expertise. This also may indicate a preference to avoid work of an independent nature (i.e. self-directed, self-planned, self-managed). Performance, morale, energy, enthusiasm, and quality of work tend to reflect how satisfied Yellow is with the working environment as created and managed by the motivational and inspirational leadership of a manager, director, supervisor, or lead-person.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Mind and mental activity are very central to Yellow's vocational activities. (NOTE: "Intuition is very different from thought, from feeling and from sensation, by the major characteristic of insight. Intuition comes from the Latin meaning, literally, `in to you'. Intuitive insight results from `identification with,' rather than `looking at' the object of attention. It is `being a part of.' Intuiting is a process, not of perception, but of experience. There is no need for interpretation in intuition. Intuitive relationship implies contact. So one does not perceive; one experiences." ~~Quote from Robert Ashby) Yellow has a preference or perhaps the talent or ability for experiencing abstract ideas, creativity, concepts, theory, assessment, and choice of options. New ideas and creativity must have an important place in vocation.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow willingly accepts responsibility for exercising motivated talents. These may include leadership and/or management talents and, therefore, involve responsibilities for others. This is an important, broad, in-depth factor that includes social, leadership, management, and mental activities. Perception and thinking include seeing the big picture and handling responsibilities in that context.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow enjoys and benefits from being organizationally interactive with others in work or recreational activities. This sort of preference tends to represent a motivation toward association and service. Yellow also has considerable social independence so organizational association with others tends to be on a mutual-interest or mutual-activity basis. If work requires functioning independently of or apart from others, Yellow is comfortable with occasional nonsocial activities.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow sees self as talented, self-sufficient, and goal-oriented. Most likely, Yellow regards work activity and goals as more important than association, interaction, or involvement with people. If vocation calls for working with others, or managing the skills and or abilities of others as part of achieving work objectives, Yellow is motivated and equipped to do that. When others are selected for existing, deliverable skills and/or abilities; then performance is expected. But independent, self-directed, self-achieved activity is preferred.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is motivated to influence and convince others as part of social, organizational, vocational, or recreational activities. A motivation exists to speak up when there is reason, occasion, or opportunity to sway others to Yellow's ideas or way of thinking. Persuasive efforts may be oral, written, or via some media (like email). Motivation behind that persuasion is to get others to accept what one is communicating.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow accepts and exercises responsibility for organizational management but may not necessarily seek out that role for self. Emphasis is on management of people, but that is directly tied to performance of existing, available skills and abilities. Performance and results are the main emphasis. Other traits must be studied to determine if Yellow manages best on a take charge or given charge basis which has much to do with how personally or impersonally, performance-based or service-based, that management style will be.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is tolerant of routine sensory/physical activity that is tied to and timed by machine operation. It usually involves repetitious processes with occasional scheduled breaks. With only medium motivation for assembly line type of work, it is likely that feeding, offbearing, or assembly work is a temporary activity until something more interesting is found, or it is a minor part of the assigned work.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow does not generally see, retain, and/or recall verbatim detail and, instead, shows an awareness of concepts, patterns, general ideas, etc. Yellow "Gets the drift" of what is seen, read, or heard. Recall is in general and in relative terms and not in specifics. Numbers are sometimes transposed. Words are read as form or pattern rather than by specific letters. Although this concept is built around ability, addressed here is how these abilities generally affect current preferences and specific motivations pertaining to the situation.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><i>This is a highly generalized section in which the narrative deliberately focuses on the combination of motivations and preferences as they relate to personal talents or skills. It lets the individual look into a vocational mirror and see his/her own talents and then decide for themselves where they fit and function the best with regard to motivation and preference. It is another context in which to see if priorities are mental, sensory, or physical: "To thine own self be true."</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Philosophical, cultural, scientific, literary, managerial, and/or computational work, more than likely, represent very important types of mental activities for Yellow . Being capable in those activities, Yellow s mind is naturally receptive to consider abstract ideas, theory, concepts, inquiry, exploration, analysis, logic, systems, and procedures. Factors in this aptitude section, plus the data and reasoning sections show the degree of motivation and talent Yellow has for each of those mental activities. High rating for this trait indicates an intellectual orientation that is functional in, or has potential for, academic, scientific, research, literary, executive, or consulting activities.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow's preferences and motivations are derived from understanding the deeper or 'real' meaning of ideas and words and uses them effectively in written or oral communication. Literary in this factor means intentional search for ideas expressed by the minds of others for one's own use, assimilation, learning, etc. The source can be books, other publications, historical documents, research information, drama, movies, television, the "information highway" or internet, etc. Emphasis is on communication: picking up information from minds of others or communication aimed toward the minds of others. Journalism and writing are major activities. Literary activity is not exclusively intellectual, academic, or cultural. It may be an end in itself as in a bookworm for instance. And literary activity is not always accompanied by communicative activity, written or oral. On the other hand, communicative activity need not be literary in the classic sense. And one need not be persuasive to be communicative, but it helps. When the trait is highly motivated, as it is here, it suggests both literary and communicative abilities that are or could become a usable skill or a developed talent. By now you can see that only a review of all traits will clearly show the specific content of Yellow's literary and/or communicative preferences and motivations.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Sensory/mental awareness of "pieces of the picture" is capacity for comparative, intra-holistic recognition of parts relative to other parts and/or the big picture. It includes ability to see essential detail and make visual/mental comparison and discrimination relative to relationships of objects. The definition says "pieces of the picture," so it recognizes the picture and its larger context, but this trait still emphasizes pieces and their status as pieces. Yellow prefers to see the big picture by first putting all the 'pieces' together. Most likely Yellow already sees pieces as pieces rather than the big picture first and then breaking it apart into all the various pieces.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow's preferences do not deter from seeing the big picture and handle things in that larger context. This ties yesterday and tomorrow to today, ties possibilities to present fact, and leaves open options instead of closed systems. This is a useful combination of preferences and abilities if Yellow is involved in analysis, planning, strategy, assessment, or choice of options.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Although Yellow does not specifically prefer mathematics, motivation is not swayed one way or the other as there is an adequate awareness and ability utilizing mathematics. Other traits will indicate which kind of math that preference applies to: theoretical, statistical, analytical, computational, business, administrative, clerical, arithmetic, or posting. Wherever it works best, it is a vocational asset.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow's preferences and motivations most likely revolve around an adequate ability to see, retain, and recall detail. Preferences and motivations do not fixate on detail or a vocational specialization based on detail. (NOTE: Awareness of detail at this level is a useful talent in functional, operational, or administrative activities).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
More than likely, Yellow does not have highly developed, consistently reliable sensory/physical motivations either learned or naturally. There is little motivation to physically perform better each time, to beat one's last score (as in a game), to be the best operator in the crew, to look forward and back at sensory/physical activity as challenging and fun. Instead, Yellow prefers to consider the sensory/physical system (the body) as 'on call' and adequately able to perform as expected.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow has few artistic preferences, and where preferences are lowest, artistic talent has probably not been developed to any usable ability. (NOTE: Given industry norms, the use of artistic details and processes in job context is problematic for people without such preferences).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is not motivated for what is called `workbench' activity where a person manually (primarily arms, hands, fingers) processes materials. There can be many reasons for disinterest in that activity: 1) Yellow is motivated to do other things, 2) Yellow does not naturally have the talent for sensory/physical activity of that kind, 3) the activity is too monotonous for Yellow's activity preferences, or 4) it is too non-social where social activities are preferred. It is important to identify the reason(s) so Yellow can function where natural talent or already existing skills and abilities as well as motivation are greater.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
The motivations and preferences influencing Yellow's mind tend to not be oriented toward placing importance or emphasis on sensory/physical activity. Instead of `thinking' what to do physically, or how to do it, other activities have much higher priority and therefore, preferences and motivations tend to lean towards those alternative activities. It is unlikely that Yellow has a high preference for sensory/physical activities.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow has clear preferences that do not include handling minute manipulation of detail for extended periods of time. If asked, splicing telephone wires at a switchboard installation or knitting a sweater to enter in a county fair competition, Yellow would likely indicate that these are not a preferred career or avocation.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><i>In this section, seven people factors cover important activities related to the interaction of a person with other persons. These are very important for individuals motivated and perhaps even naturally talented or specifically trained for associating and interacting with people. They may also be important traits for certain “people intensive” jobs. Low motivational ratings in this section may also be quite positive and valuable, if occupations necessitate or require that an individual function apart from others, manage his/her own activities, or be satisfied with work in isolation.</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
"Mentor: a trusted counselor or guide." Yellow is interested in and consciously prefers to consider the existence, meaning, purpose, potential, and destiny of mankind, people, persons, and self; with self-felt, self-accepted responsibility to influence and/or cause good, growth, and gain in the lives of all concerned. Yellow has intuition and philosophical curiosity that causes an awareness of personality, intentions, emotions, ethics, values, and moods of other persons, and of self. By itself, this is not benevolence. If Yellow is highly motivated for benevolent activities, this trait is compulsively central to personal and vocational activities. If there is a lack of personal motivation, then the preference for consideration tends to be more philosophical or academic in nature, but still service oriented.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow feels both privilege and responsibility to use communication (including persuasion) to voluntarily provide beneficial information to others. This includes strongly motivated benevolent and literary traits. Self-satisfaction comes almost exclusively from the subjective realization that the information, voluntarily given, has been helpful to other persons. Yellow is further motivated to learn and understand the other person(s) needs wishes and listening preferences. Non-persuasive service communication can become persuasive and persistent when expressed in the interest of someone needing Yellow to stand up for them.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is motivated to educate, which means to share knowledge that will be useful for the persons taught. Instructing can be in many forms: teaching, training, influencing, and demonstrating. It is done through various combinations of traits, and there are many traits that could be involved. So it is necessary to scan all traits to discover why and how Yellow prefers to or is motivated to instruct others.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is ready, willing, and perhaps even able (or trainable) to persuasively influence others with the intent or hope to convince them to agree with what is said. Because this trait is moderately motivated, Yellow is probably not inclined to make a living by selling on a commission basis. Instead, persuasion is interactive with other traits and finds expression in other ways such as teaching, counseling, etc.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow can be motivated in some situations to assume the responsibilities for planning, assigning, directing, supervising, and monitoring work activities of others. Preferences lean toward steady, on-site contact and interaction with those being supervised. Motivational levels are effected by the amount of responsibilities that include morale, attitudes, attendance, training, safety, and getting adequate quality and performance from employees.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is moderately motivated by being "on stage" in order to pleasantly influence others toward a particular viewpoint, objective, or product. Yellow probably has moderate to high motivational levels in other gregarious and persuasive traits. Yellow is comfortable with a spokesperson role, and may even prefer it or be personally energized by it. Yellow is only moderately motivated within this trait, (s)he is probably not "stage-struck" toward entertaining or acting to the exclusion of other activities or responsibilities. The preference is more toward influencing rather than promoting or selling.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow has motivation and, more than likely, the natural talent for assertively negotiating or an adequate motivational level that supports training in that area. This includes strategic thinking, influential communication, analysis, and/or persuasion. Many traits are involved, and their motivational levels determine the amount of involvement and influence of each trait. Strategic thinking is considered a preferred key element.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is empathetically and sympathetically aware of the hurts, needs, problems, and wishes of others and is motivated to help whenever possible. There is inclination and willingness to get personally involved in the personal lives of others in order to help with one's talents and resources. Although only moderately motivated in this social service trait, it is hard for Yellow to ignore or say "no" to anyone less fortunate.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><i>Working with things, manipulation of materials and processes, and cognizance of operational and mechanical forces or objects, highlights this Worker Trait Code section. None of the factors in this section are directly related to people nor call for exclusive talents whether or not they exist within the individual. However, these factors do call for the interaction and interplay between mental, sensory, physical, and mechanical skills and/or abilities as possessed by the individual. If the individual has a natural mechanical savvy, and likes to work with his/her hands, this becomes a highly important and relevant Worker Trait Code section.</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow has natural preferences related to mechanical, technical, or systems engineering. It includes natural mechanical savvy about "what makes things tick" and motivation to design, assemble, build, install, or operate machines, equipment, or systems. Engineering may or may not be the major vocational activity.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is moderately motivated to be responsible for technical, operational control of tolerances and quality; for attainment of precise standards and identification of defects. (NOTE: This is a very important preference in industries where production, maintenance, and repair require exact precision, high quality, and almost zero in allowable defects or error).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
"Being stuck to a machine all day" is not Yellow's definition for a satisfying vocation, occupation, or job. There is little preference for understanding machines, little preference for steadily monitoring machine performance, and little motivation for coping with the routine that is required.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow's preferences and motivations in vocational activity are not oriented toward routine, alert monitoring, recording, and reporting of operational or machine processes. Such activity is too clerical for Yellow's preferences.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Manual labor is not an activity where Yellow is in any way motivated. Routine, elementary, sensory/physical activity is not preferred; instead, it probably is experienced as boring, frustrating, and stressful.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
For one or more of a variety of possible reasons, Yellow does not prefer working with heavy equipment operation.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow's motivations are not compatible with assembly line activity where one is locked into operational processes by station, function, and timing. Such activity would most likely be boring, tiring, frustrating, and stressful for Yellow in a short time.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is not motivated toward processing activities, no matter what is being processed or who is doing the processing. There is no natural preference for this sort of activity.</div>
<h2 style="color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -0.25px; line-height: 28px; margin: 10px 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><i>The data section identifies preferences, motivations and priorities for certain kinds of mental activities. If interests and preferences are primarily intellectual, academic, scholarly, scientific, mathematical, or professional, this may be the most important section of the Worker Trait Code System for the person appraised. If his/her preferences are not primarily mental, this section may have little value. If these factors are important for this profile, then factors in the reasoning, math, and language sections will also be both relevant and important.</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
"Synthesize: putting two or more things together to form a whole; the combination of separate elements of thought into a whole; the operation by which divided parts are united" (Webster). Yellow is motivated by seeing the big picture so much so that (s)he, attempts to see all parts of the picture in that larger context, then sees all parts relative to each other, but still within that larger context. Perception and thinking are therefore holistic and conceptual. Philosophical and intuitive processes are involved. Scientific, managerial, and/or literary preferences may also be involved. Other mental factors in this section are subordinate, secondary, or complementary to this primary motivational attribute. This is an overview and scanning activity that includes ideas, concepts, theory, fiction, hypothesis and assessment. (Note that words in the last sentence are unrelated to logic that Webster defines as "the science of the operations of the understanding subservient to the estimation of evidence.") For Yellow , preferences for this sort of synthesis will allow it to get no further toward logic than estimating.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Preferences that direct mental activity for Yellow are naturally curious, inquisitive, investigative, exploratory, analytical, and experimental. Words such as "if" and "why" are central to this trait. It is a factor that fits exactly between synthesizing and comparing, with emphasis on synthesizing. Analysis is more than seeing the big picture, or seeing how the pieces fit the big picture. The motivation to engage an activity or process comes from nonlinear speculating about new forms, possibilities, relations, and fits. In other words, it tends to be an executive function dedicated to possibilities.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow prefers an emphasis on utility when called upon to recognize and identify or classify important factors related to the context, content, operations, and objectives of projects. (NOTE: This is an important trait for research, technical activities, systems engineering, operations management, and administrative activity).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow's motivational levels support being conscious of the importance of information and evidence relative to the "whole story" of a subject or topic. This support extends into perception that there is a natural sorting process of separating what is important from what is trivial. And Yellow is most likely to be deliberate, methodical, and thorough in compiling, labeling, and storing information for later use.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is motivated to coordinate (i.e., manage, manipulate, administer, etc.) that which is at hand to achieve planned, known or strategic objectives. This means that Yellow prefers to do something functional, directional, and goal-oriented with thinking processes, decisions, and actions. When and how Yellow coordinates can be determined by reviewing other traits.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is motivated to a degree for handling and solving routine, factual, mathematical problems. This set of preferences holds value in operational, technical, processing, or administrative activities. (NOTE: When interacting with other traits, as it does here, this trait has vocational value in many areas).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Copy activity involves detail and routine, which is preferred by Yellow and includes reproducing images, information, etc. by machine operation and/or graphic design and layout. (NOTE: It is an asset for database management, computer publishing activity, administrative or library work, and/or warehouse processing).</div>
<h2 style="color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -0.25px; line-height: 28px; margin: 10px 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="NARRReasoning" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: #e74c3c; outline: none; transition: all 0.3s ease;"></a>REASONING<br />(How you relate to reasoning, in priority order)</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><i>This Reasoning section is closely linked with the Data section. The Data section identifies an individual's priorities or preferences (high and low) for ways of thinking, while the Reasoning section focuses on where, why, and how this thinking will most likely be applied. Just like the linkage between the Interest and Temperament sections, Data and Reasoning are coupled very tightly as well.</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is strongly motivated to apply thinking to the big picture through holistic ideas, concepts, options, and strategies. This does not mean, suggest, or imply that thinking is kept only in a holistic context but it does mean that the first and constant priority or preference for consideration and focus are on the big picture. (Example: Yellow more likely prefers to be an executive rather than a manager, and more inclined to be a manager rather than a supervisor.) Considering how pieces of the picture are brought in to the big picture stimulates motivation for the activity.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
The preferences in Yellow's mind tend to be oriented toward systems engineering: identifying, analyzing, and solving challenges and/or problems by collecting data, establishing facts, connecting abstract and concrete variables, drawing valid conclusions, determining appropriate actions, and devising strategies and systems to achieve objectives. Many traits are involved. Since there is a moderate motivational level to work with systems engineering for Yellow , all of those traits may not have strong or equal motivational levels. Review of all traits will identify which area or areas of engineering represent higher motivational levels for Yellow .</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is motivated and perhaps even mentally equipped for troubleshooting: to recognize or otherwise identify problems or developing problems in familiar operational or procedural areas; to tackle problems with intent to solve the problems and restore function to former levels or better. (NOTE: This requires onsite familiarity with those operations, a sense or suspicion of where things might or could break down, and savvy about ways to fix the problem).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
For Yellow , natural preferences can comfortably adapt to get into the "swing of things" and "go with the flow." Becoming synchronized with operational flow can be the result of many trait combinations, the most likely being mechanical savvy, attachment to the familiar, and attention to detail, plus certain social traits at even low motivational levels. It is likely that Yellow is motivated in methodical, thorough, and routine activities as long as those activities are a necessary part of interests with stronger motivational levels. (Note: Many people like methodical, meticulous, routine activities as a break or departure from vocational activities that call for constant change, variety, quick decisions, risk, etc.)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Depending on the situation, Yellow generally prefers simple, routine tasks in a familiar environment. This preference of Yellow's is probably limited to hearing or reading exactly what was meant and doing as instructed. (NOTE: This is a good trait for operational, administrative, or clerical activities. {In fast-food establishments for example, it is essential.}) Three kinds of persons typically have issues with this kind of job: 1) Those who don't hear (sometimes won't hear) or remember specific instructions, 2) those who feel entitled or licensed to do it some other way, and 3) those who simply cannot, for many reasons, "keep their nose to the grindstone" in such basic, routine tasks.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Given the vocational task, Yellow's motivational level is adequate to participate where understanding of operational aspects of systems, procedures, and/or maintenance is required. Because Yellow has only motivation for an activity that is based on repetition (in both function and time), it is likely that tenure will not be for the long haul unless Yellow seeks, needs, or enjoys stability and routine. (NOTE: Motivation doesn't guarantee the ability or talent just as aptitude for an activity doesn't guarantee the motivation).</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><i>Math is a natural talent like art or music and requires a certain natural preference. In most instances, you have it or you don't; you like it or you don't. If the individual has talent for math, this section shows where the greatest vocational interest and motivation occurs, and that is where he/she has probably developed the most talent or could. Low ratings for some or all of these factors imply that math, or possibly that specific application of math, is not a motivational factor to this individual.</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is motivated to work with a wide variety of theoretical math concepts; make original application of those concepts; apply knowledge of advanced mathematical or statistical techniques to new areas of challenge, interest, or opportunity. Motivation is derived from conceptual, analytical, curious, and exploratory thinking. Research and theoretical logic probably appeal greatly to Yellow's mind.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is motivated and probably equipped to work with, use, and apply math at management levels for tracking, analyzing, and proving business activities and performance. This is part of a management generalist preference.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow's preferences tend to be methodically curious, exploratory, analytical and systematic, with math as an important tool for such activity. However, math is not an end in itself but used more as a tool as just stated. Yellow prefers to consider proof as a primary basis for thought.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow has a moderate motivation where business math related to commercial calculations and transactions are called for. This means there exists a natural ability to be competent and accurate with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. (NOTE: Where the ability does not already naturally exist for Yellow , in this instance, motivational levels support training, most likely).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow does not prefer activities requiring verbatim perception, recording, and/or processing of details, especially where numbers are involved.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow may simply lack interest or the motivation to express self vocationally through the use of basic math skills while possibly quite capable. This is most likely demonstrated by consistent inaccuracy when making basic arithmetic calculations.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><i>Four language traits are included in the narrative to cover basic activities that utilize words. They aren't very specific, but there are related factors for literary, journalistic, and communicative activities in the Interest, Temperament, Data, People, Aptitude and Reasoning sections. If a high motivational and/or preference level exists for one or more factors in this section, scan those other sections to discover preferences the individual has for those activities. Not all jobs call for orators or authors, while some jobs require such skills.</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow is highly motivated to consider creative writing and communicating at professional levels. Preferences are holistic, conceptual, imaginative, and creative. "Ideas trigger more ideas" can probably be said about Yellow . High motivational levels for this worker trait indicate an interactive combination of literary and philosophical traits. As Dean W. R. Inge said, "Literature flourishes best when it is half a trade and half an art." That probably makes a great deal of sense to Yellow . Motivation at this level indicate preferences that probably include writing fiction, poetry, scripts for movies or television, advertising copy, marketing copy, teaching creative writing, etc.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Logical explanation and education can be motivational for Yellow in some instances. This motivational level is based on the complementary interaction of a number of traits: social, leadership, influential, technical, service and functional. Review of all worker traits will identify Yellow's specific journalistic motivations and or preferences.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow's vocational preferences include such activities as gathering, processing, recording, transmitting, filing, and/or retrieving information. Key preferences lean toward proper language usage, spelling and punctuation; referencing, filing, and retrieval abilities; and attention to detail.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Yellow does not pay particularly close attention to non-motivational information, data, or detail such as elementary and basic instructions. The natural preference may be to simply use common sense or to experiment in order to figure it out.</div>

WORKER TRAIT CODE SYSTEM</h1>

WORKER TRAIT SCORES</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>The Worker Trait Code System has been in use for over 30 years and has proven to be an outstanding vocational tool for identifying jobs, classifying job requirements, and understanding human motivation. The Worker Trait Code System has been modified from a proposal by the US Department of Labor's 1965 version of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. The Worker Trait Code has seventy-two factors sorted into nine categories. The code's purpose is to identify "those abilities, personal traits, and individual characteristics required of a worker in order to achieve successful job performance." The architect of MAPP used this same criteria to define job positions and provide a method for individuals to identify their motivations and to improve their odds at success in "worker trait" terms. The Worker Trait Codes of the Position Profile and the Personal Profile can be simply and electronically matched in order to ensure the right person is working in the right job. The Worker Trait Code Report contains the percentiles which determine the level of motivation the trait has for the person. The higher the percentile or the lower the level number, the greater chance the person has to succeed or compete with the general population in the trait area or activity. For example, a score of 88% (Level 1) indicates that only 12% of the general population is more motivated and interested in vocationally expressing this task. Traits in Level 1 are compulsive; Level 2 is highly motivated; Level 3 is moderately motivated.</i></span></div>

VOCATIONAL ANALYSIS</h1>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>The Vocational Analysis provides nineteen major vocation areas for consideration, based on major vocational categories suggested by the US Department of Labor in sorting its Dictionary of Occupational Titles. These areas are ranked from highest to lowest potential. The ranking is obtained by comparing the individual's score to the general population. Each major vocational area further contains specific occupational titles which are also ranked to identify occupational potential. You may see an occupational title with a high rating while the vocational heading has a low rating, or vice versa. Strong vocational and occupational ratings in the same group indicate the greatest potential for success. However, each occupational statement should be reviewed individually.</i></span></div>

PERSONAL ANALYSIS</h1>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>The Personal Analysis indicates the basis for every rating, percentage, code, and narrative paragraph produced by MAPP. This report is directly based on the responses of an individual to the 71-triad, forced-choice preference survey. The source information comes from the person's indicated preferences in the assessment - and nowhere else. Therefore, the appraisal only reports what the individual was saying about "self" through those responses to the most/least choices. Responses create a record of the level of motivation for each of twenty-three traits (see section 3.2). By complex "construct" analysis, the computer identifies what happens as the result of the combined motivational interaction of all of those twenty-three traits. This complex interaction of all traits produces the rating and percentage for each of the factors in MAPP. Please keep in mind how many different trait combinations can produce the same ratings for a factor in MAPP. Every number presented in MAPP output is the result of these complex trait interactions, and it is statistically unlikely that any two individual's appraisals would ever be the same!</i></span></div>

TRAITS OF THE PERSON</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>The source of all data interpolation/extrapolation in MAPP, these twenty-three core "traits", identify a unique quantification and qualification for each individual. Because of the interplay and inter-dependency between these traits and their values, the possible combinations are almost beyond human comprehension. It is greater than the total number of people who ever lived on this earth. The actual expression would be seventeen to the one hundredth power interacting with seventeen to the eleventh power. It is suggested that serious study be applied to this list in order to get some idea of what happens when your individual traits simultaneously attempt to influence thoughts and actions. Sometimes traits are complementary and, therefore, strengthen, reinforce, and encourage other traits. Sometimes traits are totally contrary and antagonistic to each other. This may result in one trait trying to prevent expression and satisfaction of another. If only one can be expressed, the other may cause stress.</i></span></div>

LEARNING STYLES</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>David E. Barbee, Ph.D., Educational Technology, must be given credit for the inspiration, ideas, and specifics in the Educational Analysis section of MAPP. Dr. Barbee designed a complete educational system based on the "the motivational characteristics and learning styles" of each student. His educational system design has much in common with the MAPP system. This becomes evident when the root meaning of education is considered: "Education: To draw out the natural powers." The Educational Analysis section of MAPP identifies the natural powers (i.e. "motivational characteristics and learning styles") of an individual. Schools and teachers can actually know the individual and his/her learning preferences before the teaching begins and be able to design the educational paths which fit each student.</i></span></div>

Every atom in your body will be replaced over a period of years. Your central nervous organ is the organ that defines your ego and identity. If I destroy your heart and then replace it, then you are still who you are, only with a new heart. If I destroy your brain and replace it, you become the person defined by that new brain, and presumably your old self dies. </span><br />
<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: "roboto" , "robotodraft" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">What about when I destroy your brain and then replace it with an organ that consists of all the atoms in your previous brain logically connected in the same way. They are all the same atoms. If I do this in one physical location, and it takes .1 milliseconds to perform the operation, you may not even notice it took place. So how would you then be dead? I have destroyed your brain and replaced it, but I replaced it with the same pattern, with the same atoms. At some very small amount of time, the organism will be unable to detect even gross alterations to its structure. So, there will be "continuity." </span><br />
<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: "roboto" , "robotodraft" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">What if I did the same but also copied your brain with new atoms? Every logical relationship between atoms has been preserved in the new brain. It will now be the brain in your cranium, and your previous brain will occupy an android body standing just in front of you. Do you have the subjective experience of occupying the android or your new brain?</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: "roboto" , "robotodraft" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The substance of the atoms in your new brain is different, but the logical arrangement of neurons has remained exactly the same. You cannot logically be both the android and your old self. What self does the subjective experience become?</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: "roboto" , "robotodraft" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The android would claim that it becomes the android. The old self would claim that it never moved. However, in that situation, if you are the old self, you would not experience becoming the android. The android would be an "other" who was merely very similar to yourself in behavior, and who claims that you are a spiritual impostor who has stolen its old body!</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: "roboto" , "robotodraft" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Well then, who are you now? Are you as artificial as the android because of your new substance? But that substance would have been replaced over time anyway, and you would exist during and through that transition. As far as I can tell, you are the continuity of a pattern. A new pattern with exactly the same characteristics is a new instance of that generalized class of patterns. But they are not the same patterns. </span><br />
<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: "roboto" , "robotodraft" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Am I something so unimportant as a particular instance of a recurring wave pattern that does not recognize that it is many personas that it does not remember? Do I exist as the person of the idea that connects with my own? Where, then, can the ego truly be said to end? It ends with my perception of my interconnection, which may be flawed evolutionary to promote competition. If I perceive that I am the android and assume its functions, then perhaps I am the android. </span><br />
<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: "roboto" , "robotodraft" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">What if I connected my thoughts to the thoughts of that android? This would create a super-entity that behaves as a single functional unit but that includes both entities. I would experience being myself as well as the android. If I then perished, then my android self would continue. It may be possible to obtain immortality through the connectivity of thought. It may be possible that we are already indistinguishably part of such an interconnected system!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: "roboto" , "robotodraft" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: "roboto" , "robotodraft" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Perhaps those who hear voices hear the spiritual will of some foreign influence.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: "roboto" , "robotodraft" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>

Might they be becoming an unnoticed part of the android self and then returning? How, then, does that information travel? How do I travel from my self to the android self? Do I retain my identity? Do I discover that my identity was frivolous or flippant?
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: "roboto" , "robotodraft" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">From my experience, it is true that some humans have learned to interact more fully with parts of nature that science has not yet revealed! I do not possess any of these extraordinary abilities; however, I wonder about their existence after considering the vast number of such questions that I have no data to answer. I think a life goal of mine is to experience astral projection. Who can take me on an adventure through a logical location that science has yet to explore?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: "roboto" , "robotodraft" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "roboto" , "robotodraft" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">All my life, I have desired to be a part of some organization bigger than myself. I have not been either very successful or popular; yet, I have been happiest when I have been included. Perhaps there is an underlying insufficiency in the concept of self. Perhaps humans were never meant to be so individual, and the difference between my psychic urge to connect and its realization have been distressing.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #212121; font-family: "roboto" , "robotodraft" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Science has so many questions to answer. Break time is over. Back to work.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080042301912678838.post-90978672926995736642016-02-24T08:49:00.005-08:002016-02-24T08:49:53.833-08:00An Objective and Scientific Analysis of Human IntelligenceOrdinarily. the human collective interacts with itself and learns to live with itself at the subliminal level. Certain groups of people have learned how to take advantage of that mechansim to manipulate human collective behavior in ways that are not beneficial to hmans or to the nature to which they are also connected, which also interacts subconsciously.<br />
<br />
It is a misapplication of human intelligence and unjust to deceive the subconscious mind, but that's what these groups of people do. Just know that whatever you think or feel, that could be some mind pervert trying to control you. You may infer that I am not one of these, since they won't ever tell you they are doing it. This is good evidence because if you know about it, then you can resist them, and that ruins their control. At that point, they would have to resort to law and enforcement.<br />
<br />
These controllers may try ot make you feel like a "rat" for telling someone about it, but you aren't because they are not part of you. A rat tells on people who are a part of its group, and you are not a part of their group. The most dangerous thing these people can do is enslave the minds of the people they parasitize, cuasing them to add their wills to an alien purpose. This is similar to a computer botnet, and these bots are known as "zombies."<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>You can even program these organically evolved parasitic techniques into digital media in order to automate these deceptions, literally blending these two domains of mind control!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
With the collective power of these enslaved minds, the product of an information suppression cult, it is possible to force the will of an unwilling other, for example to make that other depressed.<br />
<br />
In a civilization with euqal opportunity and where physical work equaled individual results, brain size would be the most predictive factor determining academic success. As it stands, that factor is only a weak predictor. (A lack of trust for the media or one's ambient human environment probably contributes more!) That means that group dynamics and privileged inertia account for the majority of variation in test scores.<br />
<br />
Think about it! Why would humans have evolved big brains, to the poin that it is painful and dangerous to the woman to birth a human cranium unless brain size were an evolutionarily critical aspect of human intelligence? It could be functional regions? Well, the brain is exceptionally plastic, which means adaptive. Any functional region conferring increased intelligence would have reached fixation quickly, as intelligence is the most important human trait. It is possible, maybe, that there is a trade off between food availability versus metabolic rate, which may affect cognition. But that would have impaired white and Asian intelligence compared to African intellgence, since the agricultural revolution was followed by a period of nutritional decline and since the Holocene period adversely affected food supply for those populations.<br />
<br />
Contrarily, it might be said that increased intelligence was necessary for those populations due to an increased ecological difficulty, and this may be slightly borne out in the 5% average brain size difference between Africans and the other two populations. But it is just as likely that increased population size, which lead to increased genetic diversity in the African population, required additional intelligence to confront social challenges.<br />
<br />
In all likelihood, human intelligence is probably about the same for any individual from any race, with small idiosyncratic differences between geographically separated populations that could probably be removed through plastic adaptation.<br />

Mr. Scott Pelley<br />CBS Evening News<br /><br />Dear Scott,<br /><br />I am writing to ask if anyone at CBS has yet reviewed the 14 reasons why I should be included in the Democratic Debate (which are included below), or my book and other campaign position papers that I have sent regarding replacing the highly-toxic and unsustainable Oil Economy with a solar-sourced Hydrogen Economy that requires no R&D because the wind and other solar hydrogen fuel production technologies and engine systems have been in use since the 1800’s.<br /><br />One expects presidential campaigns to be about the quality of ideas presented, but my campaign message is a dreadfully serious one that involves educating the public about the oil and other fossil fuel-induced climate change chaos that is now causing the 6th Mass-Extinction event in the Earth’s history, which is already destroying food production systems worldwide. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The use of fossil and nuclear fuels has also contaminated every man, woman and child worldwide with a mixture of over 100,000 unregulated oil-based chemical poisons that are now causing epidemics super-sticky "amyloid" plaques that are at the heart of of a broad-spectrum of tragic diseases, including cancer, Autism and Alzheimer's, that are bankrupting the USA with trillions of dollars in unnecessary health care costs. This chemical contamination is completely out of control due to an immutable law in physics called "diffusion" which occurs every time cream is poured into coffee. Thus toxic spills are never “cleaned up” they are diffused into the air and water where they are concentrated millions of times in every person or other animal.<br /><br />Ignoring these problems that are exponentially compounded by the overpopulation problem that is also ignored in the presidential debate, is a policy of mass-suicide for not just the United States, but all life on the Earth, from the proteins that are melted down into the amyloid plaques in every cell to billions of people who will die from this chemical contamination. And the only beneficiaries, which are the multinational corporations that make up the Oil Industrial Complex (i.e., the chemical, pharmaceutical, banking and news corporations), will also disappear in the coming chaos, which is truly an oblivion scenario for life on the Earth.<br /><br />The only survivors, if there are any, will be those countries who replace oil with wind-powered hydrogen production systems that can power indoor “Lifeboat” and larger “Ark” food production systems in every community that will be able to operate in spite of the climate change chaos that will only intensify with time. Yet the only thing the U.S. government can agree on is to spend billions of dollars to drop more bombs on unknown people in foreign lands for oil and gas, using highly-toxic uranium-238-tipped warheads and munitions that have a 4.5 billion year half-life.<br /><br />Due to the immutable laws of diffusion, those radiological poisons that are blown into dust will be swept up into the atmosphere where they will diffuse with the wind and rain worldwide to increasingly contaminate the American people, including the unborn children who already soak in a witches brew of chemical poisons from the point of conception, which will tragically alter the life of the parents until their death. And none of this toxic contamination was ever necessary.<br /><br />Given none of the existing presidential candidates are even aware of such problems, much less the solutions, and given I represent thousands of scientists and engineers worldwide, CBS News has a public interest responsibility to allow me to participate in the upcoming Democratic Debate. I realize I am 0 in the polls, as were Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee, but unlike Webb and Chafee, I have never received any coverage from CBS or the national news media, in spite of the fact I ran against John McCain for Congress in 1984 and Jay Rhodes in 1986 on the issue of shifting from an Oil Economy to a Hydrogen Economy with wartime-speed.<br /><br />If my proposals had been covered by CBS and the other national news networks back in 1984, it is possible that the multi-trillion dollar Oil Wars now underway in the Middle East and Ukraine would never have never occurred and the climate change chaos would have been substantially moderated given hydrogen is the only zero-carbon emission fuel.<br /><br />So let me make a suggestion.<br /><br />You should at least allow me to be interviewed in your CBS News Broadcast regarding ratifying my proposed Democracy Amendment, my analysis of Hillary Clinton and the other points I have listed below. Within one week of that interview being aired on your CBS News broadcast, my national approval ratings will not only be over 1 percent, but they could well exceed those of Hillary Clinton, given I am a fundamentally different candidate that is not focused on raising money (which the candidates keep regardless of whether they win or lose) but on putting the majority of voters in charge of the U.S. Government so they will be empowered to make money in political elections (i.e., bribery) illegal. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Moreover, the Clinton supporters are not aware that both Bill and Hillary have been bribed by oil company lobbyists for their entire political career, and Hillary’s main focus as Secretary of State was to promote fracking leases and multi-billion dollar Oil Wars for Chevron, Exxon and Halliburton worldwide, which involved violent regime change upheavals in Libya and Ukraine.<br /><br />Please note that I have not been able to campaign in Iowa or New Hampshire because my wife Dorothy has been recovering from double-bypass heart surgery last year, which was unfortunately followed several weeks later by a broken hip. We live in a beautiful home in the Woodmont golf course in Canton, Georgia, about 40 miles north of Atlanta that is situated in an old growth forest, except the water in the creek that runs through the golf course is so contaminated that it should not even be touched much less consumed.<br /><br />So is the water in your neighborhood because vast quantities of the chemical and radiological poisons now arrive in the wind and rain. According to the University of Georgia, residential neighborhoods now spray 10 times more chemical poisons on their property each year than farmers spray on their crops. It reminds me of a really tragic movie I saw as a kid with Gregory Peck, called "On the Beach," about the radiation coming in the rain from a nuclear war. This classic film is now available on Youtube, except the mass extinction event that is now in its final exponential stages is real, and it is taking place whether people are aware of it or not.<br /><br />My wife Dorothy has been recovering well, allowing me to travel on campaign interviews or debates, and given I represent thousands of distinguished scientists and engineers worldwide in my presidential campaign, that is reason enough to provide me with an interview prior to the debate, so the American people can decide which path they want to take given the State of Emergency that now exists. Humanity is as close to a technological “utopia” as it is to an ecological “oblivion” and the decisions made now will determine which future will evolve.<br /><br />Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated, because from my perspective, you and CNS News are the “trigger mechanism” for this “transition of substance” while there is hopefully still time to make a difference in preparing for what is coming.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Harry W. Braun III<br />Democratic Presidential Candidate<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.35;">Key Reasons Why Harry Braun should be included </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.35;">in the Democratic Presidential Debate</span></div>
<br />1. Harry Braun’s Presidential Campaign is registered with the Federal Elections Commission and the IRS, and is published on Wikipedia, which is a prerequisite for being listed on Facebook and most other social media websites. Braun was the only Democratic Candidate posted on Wikipedia who was not allowed to participate in the CNN Debate in Nevada, in spite of the fact that Braun represents thousands scientists and engineers worldwide. His Wikipedia article (Harry Braun) documents his past Presidential campaigns in 2004 and 2012, and his Congressional campaigns in Arizona against John McCain in 1984 and Jay Rhodes in 1986. All of Braun’s campaigns were focused on replacing the unsustainable Oil Economy with a solar-sourced Hydrogen Economy, which is outlined on the BraunforPresident.US, PhoenixProjectFoundation.US, ScienceNewsNetwork.US DemocracyAmendmentUSA.US, websites.<br /><br />2. Harry Braun is the only scientist in the Democratic Primary who represents thousands of scientists and engineers worldwide, many of whom are professors, who are members of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy (<a href="http://iahe.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">iahe.org</a>), which is focused on replacing the highly-toxic and unsustainable Oil Age and Economy that is rapidly making the Earth uninhabitable, with a Hydrogen Age and Economy that is both poison-free and inexhaustible. Wind and other solar-powered hydrogen production technologies that make hydrogen from water with electricity require no research and development because they have been in use since the 1800’s. Braun has been an Advisory Board Member of the IAHE since 1981, and his Presidential Campaign has been endorsed by the IAHE president, University of Miami engineering professor T. Nejat Veziroglu, who has a 93-page resume of accomplishments.<br /><br />3. Given the hydrogen production technology has been in the public domain for over 200 years, the trillions of dollars spent annually for energy will go to the U.S. Treasury, which will finally allow the USA to become a debt-free country with its Dollar backed by hydrogen and not oil, which is rapidly diminishing as more and more people are forced to compete for fewer and fewer resources. As such, the “transition of substance” to a Hydrogen Age will profoundly impact all issues related to taxes, domestic and foreign policy, healthcare and immigration.<br /><br />4. The multinational Oil Industrial Complex has contaminated every man, woman and child worldwide with its highly-toxic and non-renewable chemicals and products, including the unborn who now soak in a witches brew of chemical poisons from the point of conception. This chemical contamination, along with the population explosion, are the major factors that are causing the Earth’s Sixth Mass Extinction event, which is now entering into its final exponential stages, which means it is almost over -- and none of this was necessary. </div>
<div>
<br />5. Hillary Clinton proclaims to be in support of the environment, but she has been funded by the Oil Industrial Complex, which includes the chemical pharmaceutical and banking industry, since her Senate Race in 2000 and her 2008 presidential campaign. From day one as Secretary of State Hillary’s mission was to promote the highly-toxic fracking of oil and gas by multinational oil corporations like Halliburton, Exxon and Chevron worldwide. And according to The New York Times, over $250 million was transferred to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary was Secretary of State, and these “donations” were not reported to the Obama administration or the IRS for over 5 years. Moreover, CBS News 60 Minutes reported on an international uranium “deal” negotiated by Bill Clinton and approved by Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, which involved transferring one-fifth of all U.S. uranium reserves to a Russian-controlled mining corporation, thereby transforming Russia from a uranium deficient country into a global uranium superpower. This explains why Hillary chose to have her own private server, and why she destroyed email evidence that was subpoenaed by Congress.<br /><br />6. From a medical toxicology perspective, Bill and Hillary Clinton’s legacy has been the unnecessary chemical contamination of the air, water and millions of people worldwide, which is causing epidemics of devastating diseases including cancer, Autism and Alzheimer’s, that are bankrupting the USA, along with the never ending Oil Wars and tanker protection services in the Middle East and now Ukraine, which are supported by all of the other presidential candidates, including Bernie Sanders.<br /><br />7. These issues regarding Hillary Clinton have thus far been ignored in the campaign, in spite of the fact that uranium mining is an extraordinarily toxic process that releases vast amounts of uranium isotopes with a 4.5 billion year half-life into the air, dust and water, which will ultimately be diffused worldwide, poisoning all living organisms from people to proteins. Medical physics professor John Gofman observed that only one word came to mind regarding such ubiquitous chemical and radiological contamination of all life on the Earth for profit by public officials like Hillary, and that word was Nuremberg.<br /><br />8. The National Academy of Sciences testified before Congress (The New York Times, May 13, 2011) that the use of oil and other fossil fuels were indeed the “human factors” causing the climate-change chaos, droughts and “superstorms” that were already destroying food production systems worldwide. Yet when Congressional investigators asked what actions the Congress should take, the NAS scientists said it was a political problem that required a political solution. But the NAS representatives did not mention that solar-sourced hydrogen is the only zero carbon emission and completely non-toxic and renewable fuel that can permanently replace all of the oil and other fossil and nuclear fuels in the U.S. and worldwide by 2020. Indeed, in the U.S., less than 2 million 2 megawatt wind-powered hydrogen production systems would be needed, which are no more difficult to mass- produce than the 16 million cars and trucks that were sold in the U.S. in 2014.<br /><br />9. None of the other presidential candidates from either party are even aware of the hydrogen energy and economy concept, even though the technology to produce hydrogen from water has existed since the year 1800, and the world’s first automobile built in 1807, was using “electrolytic” hydrogen made from water and not toxic gasoline as fuel, which would not be available for another 50 years. Thus the Oil Age-induced 6th Mass Extinction event was completely unnecessary, and the problem is not technical – but educational and political.<br /><br />10. Hydrogen was a primary fuel used by NASA for all of the Saturn V Moon Rockets and Space Shuttles and Lockheed, Boeing, BMW, Ford, GM, Toyota, and Honda have all been developing hydrogen-fueled aircraft and ground vehicles for decades. Honda has even developed a home hydrogen production and refueling system that only requires electricity and water, and every existing engine and vehicle can be modified to use hydrogen fuel.<br /><br />11. As Henry Ford demonstrated in the 1920’s, the least expensive hydrogen, ethanol and plastics for his automotive vehicles was made from his cannabis crops, which is the real reason the oil industry lobbyists, led by Andrew Mellon, changed the common name of cannabis (i.e., hemp) to an unknown Mexican slang term “marijuana,” so it could then be made illegal in 1937 as a “new” dangerous drug without any recorded vote in the House or Senate, and over the objections of the American Medical Association. Moreover, there was no Constitutional amendment passed to make cannabis illegal, which was required by Article I Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution to make alcohol illegal.<br /><br />12. Moreover, medical investigators published in Scientific American (December 2004) documented that the THC cannabinoid in cannabis is not a toxic drug at all (unlike all of the oil-based pharmaceutical drugs), but a 500 million-year-old neurotransmitter that is used in the brains of all humans and other vertebrate animals to switch on a two-way communication and feedback system in the brain that has redefined the science of neurology. These are some of the reasons why the editors of Scientific American characterized the existing cannabis laws as “absurd,” and why Braun would immediately legalize cannabis.<br /><br />13. Few Americans are aware that the United States was founded on a Cannabis Economy from the day the Pilgrims landed in 1492, because cannabis was used to make everything from the highly-nutritious food, soap, and super strong fibers for clothes, paper, ropes and rigging for the “canvas” cannabis sails, without which the ships would never have survived in the open seas. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were major cannabis farmers, as were virtually all other farmers in Colonial America, and cannabis was even used as U.S. currency for nearly two centuries. As such, cannabis, which is an ancient Greek word, was the key technology that served as the foundation of all civilizations who successfully mastered the seas. All of that changed, however, in 1937 when oil industry lobbyists replaced the Cannabis Economy with the Oil Economy, which is now in the final stages of making the only planet in the Universe known to support life uninhabitable.<br /><br />14. Given none of the other Democratic or Republican presidential candidates are discussing this State of Emergency or any of the issues in these 14 points, much less the Article V Democracy Amendment Harry Braun is proposing that would transfer all political power from the elected officials and the lobbyists who bribe them to the majority of voters, it would be highly-irresponsible for CBS News not to allow the American voters to be made aware of these scientifically-based, but truly Biblical-scale problems and solutions in the Democratic Debate that are at the heart of Braun’s interdisciplinary Democratic Presidential Campaign.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

Workers are paid for the privilege of their title. This is not pure nepotism, as is often thought, but is a more archaic concept, called simony. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">Money is a lie. It doesn't store value. It stores social position, to be dispensed at the leisure of an official.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">If you intend to work hard to succeed, you are going to fail. If you intend to work smarter, not harder, then you are going to fail. But if you intend to vie for a higher ecclesiastical position, then you just might succeed. The idea is not to have as a goal some sort of production, but instead, to compete for a higher position, regardless its utility.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">The best you can hope for as an employee, clerical, technical, or kinetic, is not to be rewarded more for your success, but to be awarded a higher title for your success, or even for your popularity. In this sense, academia is doing the world a disservice, since they are creating an ecclesiastical barrier to promotion that cannot be purchased through merit. It can only be purchased through a dispensation of social privilege.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">Let me make myself clear: You can be an excellent student; you can demonstrate your achievement through a test; you can volunteer and do everything right; but if you aren't popular and aren't the recipient of enormous social privilege in some other way, don't bother applying to medical school. It's literally the most important factor. (It was also factored into everything else you did, no matter whether you noticed.) But even if you overcome all those obstacles, not being popular will still keep you out. You'll get to the pearly gates, and God will ask, 'How did a plebeian make it this far? Need we redesign our rigging?' The medical prep books don't tell you this, but it's true and good to say.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">After all that, I am left in awe at the idea, 'How many Jews did anti-Antisemitism exclude from CCUNY?'

<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In this first installment of my new blog series, Commentary on a Patriotic Essay, I will be reading through <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stuart_Mill" target="_blank">John Stuart Mill</a>'s <i><a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/5669/5669-h/5669-h.htm" target="_blank">Considerations on Representative Government</a>. </i>I hope to achieve an atmosphere similar to <i>Mystery Science Theatre, </i>but darker and more cynical. These are troubled times for the American people.</span></div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: #0b5394;"><u>Preface</u></span></span></h2>
</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #faebd0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;">Those who have done me the honor of reading my previous writings will probably receive no strong impression of novelty from the present volume;</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Admit it. You haven't read anything like this before, or if you have, you certainly didn't enjoy it. Well, I hope to make this a little more exciting for you by being an asshole while you read it. Wish me luck. I will be skipping Mill's wordy bullshit and giving you the meat of his writings.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #faebd0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;">Several of the opinions at all events, if not new, are for the present as little likely to meet with general acceptance as if they were</span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">There's hope! John Stuart Mill was largely ignored or disputed, just like you and me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #faebd0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;">It seems to me, however, from various indications, and from none more than the recent debates on Reform of Parliament, that both Conservatives and Liberals (if I may continue to call them what they still call themselves) have lost confidence in the political creeds which they nominally profess, while neither side appears to have made any progress in providing itself with a better.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Politics was fucked up back in Mill's day, just like it is today. The two competing political factions even called themselves the same things! Even more extra-ordinarily, they had been corrupted in exactly the same way. They caught a horrible case of the hypocrisy pox.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #faebd0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;">Yet such a better doctrine must be possible; not a mere compromise, by splitting the difference between the two, but something wider than either, which, in virtue of its superior comprehensiveness, might be adopted by either Liberal or Conservative without renouncing any thing which he really feels to be valuable in his own creed.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Mill was an utter idealist, who makes the claim that creating an effective government is possible, and he says we should demand one and not compromise. Wow, well, that idea preceded basically every failed Utopia ever conceived, including Communism. But let's read more about what this terrorist has to say.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #faebd0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;">When so many feel obscurely the want of such a doctrine, and so few even flatter themselves that they have attained it, any one may without presumption, offer what his own thoughts, and the best that he knows of those of others, are able to contribute towards its formation.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This is the conclusion to the Preface. Mill says that when everyone realizes that the Government is a corrupt piece of shit, anyone can point it out. Good point, Mill. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"></span><br />

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="background-color: #0b5394; color: yellow; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Chapter I - To What Extent Forms of Government are a Matter of Choice</span></u></h2>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">John Stuart Mill describes two competing conceptions of government. This is the first:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #faebd0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;">Government, according to this conception, is a problem, to be worked like any other question of business. The first step is to define the purposes which governments are required to promote. The next, is to inquire what form of government is best fitted to fulfill those purposes. Having satisfied ourselves on these two points, and ascertained the form of government which combines the greatest amount of good with the least of evil, </span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This conception of government sees government as being a kind of scientific machine or computer. It's wholly the invention of men and does not arise naturally. Basically, if we lose our Constitution, we lose our Government entirely and it is replaced by a different Government that fulfills different functions. The USG is such a different Government from the one founded by Jefferson and Adams.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #faebd0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;"> They look upon a constitution in the same light (difference of scale being allowed for) as they would upon a steam plow, or a threshing machine.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Government seen at this angle can be interpreted as similar to a material machine made out of metal or wood. And the Constitution is like its blueprint, its DNA. Today, our Constitution has been scrapped and replaced by secret rules. Most Americans do not and are not allowed to know how the Government really works. There is no transparency, no accountability, and no representation! Don't believe me? I have powerful evidence. <a href="http://journals.cambridge.org/download.php?file=%2FPPS%2FPPS12_03%2FS1537592714001595a.pdf&code=2b0c49941371329a3d961c531b3262e2" target="_blank">Princeton recently published a paper</a> (2014) demonstrating that the votes and political opinions of most Americans do not affect the outcome of political decisions in DC. There's technically and literally no representation for most Americans.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #faebd0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;">To these stand opposed another kind of political reasoners, who are so far from assimilating a form of government to a machine, that they regard it as a sort of spontaneous product, and the science of government as a branch (so to speak) of natural history. According to them, forms of government are not a matter of choice. </span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Mill's second conception of government sees it as a natural phenomenon that arises and cannot be designed or changed. The government is a sort of expression for the collective of people and their environment, and a People's form of government only works for them and would not for anyone else.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #faebd0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;">It is difficult to decide which of these doctrines would be the most absurd, if we could suppose either of them held as an exclusive theory. </span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well, what a dick. After having spent two very long paragraphs discussing the two different philosophies he says people have about government, he goes on to say that those people are all imaginary and almost all people believe some mixture between those two conceptions. Government is both natural and designed. Why didn't he introduce government with a singular conception? We'll never know. But to keep his ideas intact, I had to include all of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #faebd0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;"> But the principles which men profess, on any controverted subject, are usually a very incomplete exponent of the opinions they really hold</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">How interesting. Mill makes the bold claim that people invent most of their positions and actually hold most all opinions all at once. Well, maybe that keeps happening because people fail to realize that it's possible to hold a single opinion that includes two smaller opinions. In my opinion, light acts as both a wave and a particle. No, Mill, sadly, people are really that narrow-minded. They believe only the partial answer. I appreciate your optimism, but it is unwarranted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #faebd0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;">No one believes that every people is capable of working every sort of institution. Carry the analogy of mechanical contrivances as far as we will, a man does not choose even an instrument of timber and iron on the sole ground that it is in itself the best. He considers whether he possesses the other requisites which must be combined with it to render its employment advantageous, and, in particular whether those by whom it will have to be worked possess the knowledge and skill necessary for its management. </span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In this third and true conception of government, government exists as whatever was best for those whom it represents according to the materials available to construct it. It arose naturally from the limitations of the environment and artificially by having been invented expediently. In this way, greater human capital or technology can improve (or at least strengthen and optimize) a government. This opinion implies that changing the form of a government is possible, but requires new technology or more skills.</span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #faebd0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;"> But, though each side greatly exaggerates its own theory, out of opposition to the other, and no one holds without modification to either, the two doctrines correspond to a deep-seated difference between two modes of thought; and though it is evident that neither of these is entirely in the right, yet it being equally evident that neither is wholly in the wrong, we must endeavour to get down to what is at the root of each, and avail ourselves of the amount of truth which exists in either.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Apparently, those aforementioned conceptions were the schools of thought on government that dominated the mid 1800's. Who knew? But as Mill points out, both are wrong by nature of being incomplete. And just like today, vociferous people fought to defend the incomplete ideas as if they were the total answer, even though the total answer is simply some combination between the two. It wasn't popular to take the middle ground, then, as it isn't now. One of us. One of us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: cyan; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;">Like all things, therefore, which are made by men, they may be either well or ill made; judgment and skill may have been exercised in their production, or the reverse of these. And again, </span><span style="background-color: #f4cccc; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;">if a people have omitted, or from outward pressure have not had it in their power to give themselves a constitution by the tentative process of applying a corrective to each evil as it arose,</span><span style="background-color: cyan; text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;"> or as the sufferers gained strength to resist it, this retardation of political progress is no doubt a great disadvantage to them, but it does not prove that what has been found good for others would not have been good also for them, and will not be so still when they think fit to adopt it.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I made this section <span style="background-color: cyan;">light blue</span><span style="background-color: white;"> because it's so important. Read the section highlighted in </span><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">pink</span><span style="background-color: white;">. That's us. We are being prevented by the outward pressure of our police state and its attendant military, both the domestic one and the foreign, from giving ourselves back our Constitution. We cannot correct the problems that are arising in our government because of external corporate rulers. Mill goes on to talk about what can be done once such external rulers have been removed, and he mentions that, even if we shuck these fascist pigs, we'll have suffered political retardation from their vampire influence. The road in front of us is long, difficult, and full of peril. However, there is hope! Once we regain control over our government, it is possible to restore its representative attribute.</span></span><br />

<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Here’s a good way to tell if you are a slave.</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
1) Calculate the lowest cost of living feasible while meeting all basic needs, including food, shelter, and reasonable security.<br />I think you’ll find that the “suits upstairs” have made this nearly impossible. But there’s a “living wage” calculator at MIT that’s<br />better than nothing. Other than that, the US government censors basically anything except cost of living indexes, which are relative.</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
2) Subtract your lowest cost of living, which I’ll refer to as “minimum living expenses,” from your after-tax income. Let the result be called real income, since slaves would presumably have those expenses covered for them.<br />If the value is negative, you are earning less than a slave would. Congratulations, chattel slaves make more money than you do. The positive value is the money you can spend on free choices, including more expensive substitutes (like a residence bigger than an inexpensive studio.)</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
3) Trace the positive quantity to ensure that it’s not going to expenses such as interest or protection fees. In order to be free, you must be able to decide what to do with your own after expense income.</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Your real income, as long as it can be freely spent, is the measure of the financial freedom you have. A slave has none. A wage-slave often has less financial freedom than a chattel slave. At least, if freed, a chattel slave would have no outstanding debt.</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
I tried to avoid standard economic and statistical jargon, as these are largely exploitative mysticism. I hope you enjoyed my analysis. Now watch as exactly no one reads this. Vote for me.</div>

Edit:</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
I’ll add that unpaid internships are actually a good deal, since entirely every good job on the market requires previous work experience, which most people don’t have for the job in question. In all honesty, that means that these aren’t new jobs but merely invitations to transfer from one department in the military industrial complex to another compartment. A job transfer is not a new job on the market. For simplicity sake, ONLY entry level jobs are new jobs and if and only if they:</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
1) require no experience<br />2) are reasonably likely to hire you as an anonymous individual with related academics or other basic demonstrated interest.</div>

Look carefully, and you’ll find that there are basically no jobs like that at all in the economy except minimum wage jobs or unpaid internships.</div>

How did I find this cult? Their headquarters was listed in the Ford navigation directory that powers my car navigation system. The name of this cult is the "Church of the Morning Star," which as many might recall, is another name for Satan. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have uncovered a Satanic cult right here in my home city. And I have pictures!<br />
<br />
I went to the headquarters listed in my navigation system, and guess what I found? The church was recessed deep into an ant colony like neighborhood, probably 5 to 10 turns in. Every house was almost identical, even the way the yards were cared for. Now, you might be thinking that's some kind of Home Owner's Association bylaw. Just bear with me.<br />
<br />
I finally arrived at the headquarters, and there was absolutely nothing. There were no cars, a few people checking out my car to see who I was, and nothing else, just one big nondescript house. I checked my nav system to see if I went to the correct location, and I was right on top of it. It was the house just in front of me.<br />
<br />
When I was looking at my nav system, I noticed there was a school called , "School of the Church of the Morning Star," which was located about 15 minutes away. At this point, I was excited that I found a cult, and I wanted to join. So I plugged the school into my nav system hoping there would be a way to talk to these people. Keep in mind that it's the middle of summer, right?<br />
<br />
The school turned out to be in another house, in another identical neighborhood, with the same-styled yards. And this neighborhood was 15 minutes away! At the school, even though it's summer, there were several cars. I stood at the base of the driveway leading to the school house, and I could hear children and adults talking. Since no one noticed me, I decided to take pictures. Here's what I found:<br />

This is a view of the school from the base of the driveway. Notice that there are several cars. </div>

This is another angle. It shows that there are even more cars parked on the other side.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
There are even more cars parked in the cul-de-sac just outside the driveway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And those cars are parked on the other side of the cul-de-sac as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, I decided all of this was very strange. So I looked at the backsides of as many vehicles that I thought I could see without arousing suspicion. I found a marine corps license plate, and I also saw this:</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tom Price is a Republican congressman from my state. He's sort of like Ron Paul's evil twin. Also, he doesn't believe in man-made climate change and has no brain. So I learned two things about the cult, which are that one of the members is a former marine and another member voted for Tom Price. He's probably a political conservative.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My hopes were a little dashed, since I wanted the Church to engage in occult beliefs and maybe even some exciting goat sacrifices. But if they are conservatives, they might fall more under the Christian heretic cult type, for example Mormons. In any case, having a massive, sprawling, mycelium-like cult operating in your city is nothing to despair about. How exciting!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For my next post on this topic, I am going to try to join the cult! Pray for me.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Subtract out the base minimum living cost for the median American worker from his expected earnings, and consider the new value a more meaningful income value. This is what is known as net earnings.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">wage - rent - vehicle - tax - food - basic utilities (including cell phone) -security*= net earnings</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">* Security needs include formal protection against violent crime. But it also requires an adversarial check on security forces, like community police that regulate the official police forces, so that any one community will not be forced to abide by the laws governing the whole land. It also requires non-intrusive protection against psychic manipulation. Together,this would ensure a democratic audit of the government. We need our own army. And it needs to be populated with the wealth of a great many workers. Otherwise, we will receive insufficient disposable income from the collective net earnings to voice our opinion politically.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our collective net earnings = the number of participating individual workers * the pittance value.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We need to change the political system from fascism to radical socialism. And we need to do so quickly! It may already be too late!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yes, that is one of our basic needs, and we need it to survive.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Your net earnings are what you've earned after you've paid a basic living expense that cover your basic needs, such as food, shelter, air, water, and safety and health. I think you'll find that the median net earnings are a pittance value compared against the net earnings of a CEO, who earns 300x the wage of a standard worker, who is probably suffering just as much working at that necessary position. A CEO's net earnings can be tens of thousands of times greater than a worker's net earnings. We will fight them against the King.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> We will fight them on collective bargaining. We will fight them against the self-proclaimed elite. We will fight them against robots.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Minimum wage: The government forces employers to pay their employees enough for them to survive.
Collective bargaining: The employees are allowed to argue for enough wages to survive, backed by the threat of organized civil disobedience or even outraged violence, a labor strike. Workers who do not comply with unionization do not receive jobs.
Minimum wage is very similar to collective bargaining. In fact, in Sweden unions perform the function of the federal government in America, and Sweden has no minimum wage at all! I would prefer that America replaced its government with a federalized worker union, not a corporate oligarchy. That is in our best interests as the American people.
The fascist Corporate world destroyed American Unions and then illegalized their strategic significance, like they did with weed. Look into a private espionage agency called the Pinkerton Institute. You will be amazed with the departure from whatever freedom was supposed to mean.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkerton_(detective_agency)">Proof that the NSA is nothing new.</a>
The only way to restore Unions would be to create a secret society where promotion is governed by the use of a reliable polygraph machine. This is to ensure that private military grade intelligence services are not employed by the corporate world in order to bust the workers' attempts to defend our interests. Then we hope they can't beat our polygraph! So we need to find a reliable one. I think EEG thought reading and mind mapping look like a good way to do it. So we see how his brain is used to move his body, and we take over that process from the current executive function. If we can apply this idea towards ensuring the loyalty of our followers, like with complete loss of information privacy. Memory access would be involved. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">It's pretty bad trying to encrypt our information transfer the hard and obsolete way, without sufficient polygraph technology. The NSA has cracked all of humanity's formal encryption ability. So computer encryption is out of the question! You would have to write your own cipher.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I am currently working on one, but I don't know how long it's going to take me. It might take me years, as I do not have enough perquisite training to answer the question expediently. I'm reading an intermediate level text on computer systems, as I want a strong foundation. I would need to know what I'm doing so as to create a logically perfect encryption algorithm, one with decidedly no backdoor. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then I could simply put it up on the internet with a mathematical proof of its working, and the gig would be up. Telepathy would be discovered. The take home lesson? Telepathy works better than encryption, since ultimately you can simply extract the useful information from the human worker, if that's not protected at all. Workers have need, and I am not talking about tin foil hats exactly, to shield themselves against detrimental programming. And it must be done through exposure of telepathic communication. In order to do this, we must first develop a defense against having our minds read. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you know anyone who has anything to do with neurophysics and the development of synthetic telepathy, you must convince this person, even if it is yourself, to develop such a defense for the good of all humanity.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I don't think the mind knows how to not think about something that is being talked about. The correct answers ought to simply flow into the machine. Or at least an honest perspective, which is all our big ideas like Justice even care about.</span><br />

Gaelor remembered his business manners, straightened his cotton vest, and pulled up his chin.<br />
<br />
"Right, of course. So what brings you here today, Mr. Farmer?"<br />
<br />
"Well, I've got a full load of peanuts, lying in the 'ole cart back there. Are you still buying at the same price?"<br />
<br />
"A copper piece a tentame, like usual. No fluctuations in demand at the marketplace. <span style="font-family: '�Palatino Linotype�', '�Book Antiqua�', Palatino, serif; text-align: center;">Loxim says all his parchments add up just right. I'll bring out the scale."</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: '�Palatino Linotype�', '�Book Antiqua�', Palatino, serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: �Palatino Linotype�, �Book Antiqua�, Palatino, serif;">Mr. Breckerstone practically skipped through the door to his back office, excited to grab his shiny new brass scale, which he had recently purchased from Farnan the Smith. Meanwhile, Gregory Farmer strolled out to haul a heaping sack of freshly harvested peanuts from the back of his cart. He lugged the sack over his left shoulder and tottered unevenly back into the shop. He made a mental note to visit to Ranjan later, to see if the carpenter could build a small wooden dolly, this time one with wheels. Or maybe he would just buy some smaller sacks. Back inside the shop, he met Gaelor finishing his calibration with the metal blocks you had to buy from Lord Tame.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: �Palatino Linotype�, �Book Antiqua�, Palatino, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: �Palatino Linotype�, �Book Antiqua�, Palatino, serif;">"Excellent, just bring those over here, Greg; I've got it all evened out for a tentame."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: �Palatino Linotype�, �Book Antiqua�, Palatino, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: �Palatino Linotype�, �Book Antiqua�, Palatino, serif;">Greg observed the apparatus, which had a tentame block on one side, sealed with the Lord's brand, and a wooden cup on the other, which from experience both parties knew held about a tentame of peanuts. Everything looked solid, so Farmer heaved his bag onto the counter and untied the twine holding it closed at the top. He poured a good amount into the cup. Critical hit, it was perfect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: �Palatino Linotype�, �Book Antiqua�, Palatino, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: �Palatino Linotype�, �Book Antiqua�, Palatino, serif;">"Allright, Greg, that's one", said Gaelor, "let me just pour that into my bag over here and make a tally on my chart. You want a copy as usual, right? Ok, let me just make a tally on this copy over here, as well. And let's go ahead and measure the next tentame.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: �Palatino Linotype�, �Book Antiqua�, Palatino, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: �Palatino Linotype�, �Book Antiqua�, Palatino, serif;">This process continued all day long, with Greg bringing sacks of dirty peanuts into the shop, and Gaelor helping him to measure them out, very carefully. By sunset, both parchments were full of tallies, Greg's cart was empty, and Gaelor's backroom was full of fresh peanuts. Greg took his tally sheet; Gaelor took his own. They both agreed on the same number, one-hundred and thirty tentames.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: �Palatino Linotype�, �Book Antiqua�, Palatino, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: �Palatino Linotype�, �Book Antiqua�, Palatino, serif;">Gaelor handed Greg a glittering gold piece and three shiny silver coins. Both were exhausted, and the oxen needed to be fed. The journey home would feel long, but it still wasn't as bad as digging in the dirt all day, collecting the crop. Greg took his coins, placed them in a small velvet sack, and stood up. It was time to go home.</span></div>

His name was Gregory Farmer, and he served the noble Lord Chipper Tame. Greg occupied a pleasant wooden cottage on the edge of a three acre plot, within whose borders he felt safe; he delivered a small, discrete velvet sack of golden coins to Lord Tame on the third of each tenday.<br />

Now, not thirty minutes away by oxen-driven cart, a modestly sized shop stood. On a sunny Fourthsday afternoon, Mr. Gaelor Breckerstone might be found there behind a finely crafted wooden counter, tallying marks on a piece of parchment and waiting to be noticed. This was one such Fourthsday, and Greg Farmer was just stepping off his cart. He fed each of his two oxen a single sugar cube. They were a little pricey, but these were study and hard-working oxen. Gaelor looked up as he heard the pleasant lowing that resulted from this treatment.<br />
<br />
Gregory walked into the shop, and he said, "Blessings of Tymora upon you, Mr. Breckerstone. How are the wife and kids?"<br />
<br />
Gaelor smiled amiably, "Oh you know how it is, Greg. The wife always wants a new dress, and my daughter needs that popular adventurer toy."<br />
<br />
Everyone knew everyone in Westershire. Greg's mind filled with nostalgic thoughts about his own daughter, Lizzy, her face covered in dirt, running into the cottage, followed closely by Fran, Gaelor's pretty little girl. That was a rainy Sixthsday, some months ago, and his wife had been horribly upset about needing to mop up all that mud. Covertly, Gaelor enjoyed the commotion.<br />
<br />
"Oh, yes, of course she does. I think I heard a rumor or two about those whittled masterpieces. Ranjan the Carpenter started making those at his shop, isn't that right? And Julius the Tailor now sells little vials of dye and feather paintbrushes so the kids can personalize those things. I haven't seen either character in ages. Anyway, let's get down to business."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080042301912678838.post-19127378595386764312015-03-26T12:45:00.002-07:002016-03-22T08:42:38.560-07:00Crime Really Doesn't Pay, After All<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Can coercively seizing someone's information without just cause be considered assault, for example by threatening to put someone in a situation that revokes their financial security if they do not hand over their birthdate, DL number, address, and full legal name? If so, I just got assaulted and then fired for attempting to figure out how to defend myself against this work of structural violence. Now today, I feel insecure that an untrusted entity has taken so much information about me, photocopied it, and put it in a database, all without my willful consent. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">And I need a new job. Who's hiring? On the bright side, all this has given me incredible insight into identity theft.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">So, let's say hypothetically I've invented a somewhat risky (though honestly people are retarded so not that risky) scheme to steal about 50k/year from the 1%. It's hugely convoluted and would probably entail the equivalent of a full-time job in labor hours. But then I went onto match.com and discovered that physicians make at least 200k/year, or like 120k/year after taxes. Let's give myself a 20k/year cushion, even though this is more than the median personal income. That pays for medical school or whatever. I'm also grossly underestimating salary*.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">So, from this data, I can conclude that working as a physician produces about 2x as much, at least, as my incredibly clever scheme to "arbitrage" the 1% market, if you will. And it's not even a tested procedure. Then, logically, every hour I would work as a doctor would take more from society than a hour of determined labor as an identity thief. Gee, I wonder why all the ultra-smart identity thieves don't just become doctors instead?</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Or for that matter, why don't black people in the hood become medical assistants instead of marijuana footsoldiers, since these each pay about equally. I think Marco Rubio should go to a project in Detroit and fucking ask that question. God dammit.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Instead, there's all this shady research on how black people are genetically violent criminals. Well, maybe not. Maybe being a criminal simply paid more than working at McDonald's. After all, I would reasonably expect a slum-negro to jump at the chance at making 50k/year reading radiology charts rather than dodging armed troops and trying to sell chemical happiness.</span><br />

Let me help you out with this one; if he's writing books for some of the smartest CEO's in business, then he's probably smarter than all of them. Or else why didn't they write their own books? They didn't have time? Well, how did this guy find time working fiendishly at a book plant managing 250 people, perhaps without even having a college degree. Or is that where all his extra time came from? And trust me, all along the way, people were trying to get him fired.

Let's do a quick calculation. 5.42 - 2.50 = 2.92. So, basically, dCables is trying to charge me 50% the total item cost in order to put it in a box, slap a sticker with my address on it, and put it in the mail. I think not. Time to go to Amazon.com again.<br />
<br />
Update: Amazon.com had a prime deal that included a charger kit, which can also be used in the car or in Europe, screen protectors, and a microfiber pad all for less than the charger on dCables.com. God I love-hate Capitalism.<br />

I am a talented Dungeons and Dragons DM. I want to start a company on meetup.com that sells tickets to a DnD game for only $10. I could have four open seats per game to actually make this worth my time. And I'll host a game once a week.<br />
<br />
Problematically, most people would rather just play Mass Effect or watch Netflix, which they can do all month long for the cost of a single game. That's why I set the price so low.<br />
<br />
But ok. Let's say this works, and I want to expand to actually make enough money to live on, instead of less than the cheapest rent in my area per month. Now I have to split my earnings with a professionally trained DM, and I figure I have to pay him at least about $15/hour, since being a DM requires intelligence. (He's basically a story-teller.) Anything less, and how am I going to attract people who can research campaigns, memorize characters, environments, and regulate individual player experiences? It needs to be fun, and this individual must also possess good social skills.<br />
<br />
I make about that much an hour delivering pizza. So it's not like he has no where else to go.<br />
<br />
Games last 2 hours. Now I'm making $10/week/game, minus cost of supplies, marketing, and other corporate expenditures. I'll probably need at least about 20 games/week to make enough to live on. That's too big to start out. How will I account for all the logistical contingencies? In order to initiate this company and slowly grow it, I'll either have to charge more or pay the DM's less. Perhaps I can find DM's who will do this for free just because they like it and claim all my earnings as suggested donations, until I grow large enough...<br />
<br />
(That's how the corporate system works. I may make small margins, but with a league including thousands of players, where N = league size and N/4 * 10 = expected weekly earnings + cost of materials, with a large enough N, I can make bank! Unfortunately, most people aren't that nerdy, so my entire target audience for recruitment into my league in this area probably doesn't justify creating the company.)<br />
<br />
Mem: Find a way to brainwash people into loving DnD. Stupid Christians. Ted Haggard can go fuck himself in his own ass. That would enlarge the target audience. It's called "marketing," and it basically means creating your own demand.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">Note: I'm bitching about this, but I still haven't given up on it! I WILL make DnD America's new favorite pastime! Fuck baseball.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">Update: I just printed this out, and I'm about to drive over to the game store to see if I can work with them to do the marketing and make this happen.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080042301912678838.post-18731873227963144732015-03-13T10:42:00.002-07:002016-03-22T08:42:38.557-07:00Little Known Fact: Capitalists and Men Both Actually Hate, Hate, Hate CompetitionSo, I was thinking about becoming an entrepreneur. That's the spirit, right? You just need a good idea, work ethic, some smarts, and off you go to wealth and success. Well, no. Here's my idea: I want to create a company that produces vitamin-enriched, low-sodium, vegetarian pizza with a vegan option. That's a great idea, right? Ok.<br />
<br />
Remember that girl who got arrested for trying to sell lemonade at a lemonade stand, since Wal-Mart believed this was a serious threat to their high-fructose empire? Or from my personal experience, I remember this Hispanic boy when I was a freshman in high school. He was a smart kid; we both got into honors literature and were studying the book 1984. Keep in mind that a few years before, this guy was in Mexico and spoke no English.<br />
<br />
Well, I remember him complaining about his brother's arrest, who along with several people he knew in the community, were detained at a local park for trying to sell hand-crafted kites. I distinctly recall his frustration with the difference between his former conception of American freedom and the reality of American Capitalism. It was the difference between a country where talented craftsmen could create a unique cultural product and sell it without an overwhelmingly destructive barrier to entry, for example from a cart at the park, and a country where Wal-Mart calls the police to ensure that no one is competing with their cheap plastic bullshit for only $2 more.<br />
<br />
And what about my nutritious vegan pizza idea? People don't want that, either. There's no demand for it. People are only as demanding as they are creative, and trust me; they aren't creative. Market research shows that people only want salty, disgusting, greasy pizza. The government refuses to regulate it because of all the lobbying money being spent by the pizza industry in D.C., both frozen and delivery. And even if I could somehow brainwash people with an ultra effective revolutionary marketing campaign to make them want better pizza, the existing industry would probably levy the police forces against me in order to shut me down, just like my Hispanic friend from high school.<br />
<br />
I'm sure the regulatory system governing the pizza industry is hopelessly complex in every way except regarding creating healthier pizza, mostly to disguise the fact that the American dream is total bullshit.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Bloomberg reveals the claim that pizza is special; it's not. It's just a prominent example. So yes, he's biased. But you know what? At least he's a decent guy. And at least he didn't make his money by accepting bribes from the pizza industry and then claiming it was all because he worked so hard, like Mitt Romney.</span><br />

Just what was I able to get past the moderators? So, for example, they took down my STD test results. But what were they like, "ok, whatever man, " about? Fear not! What kind of real man would I be if I denied you that answer? Let's begin with the last paragraph, since it sort of resolves my entire issue with dating sites in general:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">"<span style="font-family: arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Market price for a live-in nanny is around $300/week. If it were our child, I would do it for free (though hopefully be able to hire said nanny). If it's some other idiot's kid, forget it! Also, if you are just looking for money, you are doing it wrong; escorts can make anywhere between $100/hour and around $4,000 per night. With that much money you can pay the live-in nanny and forgo the complication of living with someone you do not love."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, Helvetica, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;">That's right. I'm looking for a lucky lady who can read this, interpret it, agree with it, and still be interested in the author. And guess what? I have a date this Monday. What else? I know she's for real. Did I pique your interest? Ok, here's the full profile:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, Helvetica, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I am a bit of a loner. I suppose that is the cost of being a free-thinker. But I love people, and I work a job that requires customer service skills, which I possess amply. Some people think I'm funny.
I really dislike elitism and love people who just want to live and be happy. I believe I am handsome and enjoy things that are beautiful. I believe communication skills are very important. Passion and positivity are two qualities that go well independently or together. I like to be around people who think positive things about me, and I think that's true for most if not all people.
"I thrive on change, and know how to capitalize on it. It is important that I have enough change and variety.
I derive personal satisfaction from directly helping others.
I naturally see the links, relationships and patterns between different ideas. I see the "big picture."
I have a creative imagination and am gifted at using words (verbally and/or in writing) to express new ideas, concepts or plots. I can be called on when a fresh, new way to communicate important information is needed.
I am motivated to cause good, growth and gain in the lives of others. I am also insightful as to the personality, intentions, emotions, ethics, values, and moods of people. I am effective in helping to develop other employees or interacting with customers.
I am naturally curious about how things work. I can help uncover possibilities."
"The MAPP test has undergone extensive validity and reliability testing by a number of psychologists, including correlating the results to the Strong Interest Inventory®. Reliability studies also indicate that the MAPP test is consistent over time."
So, it's not the most romantic thing ever, but it indicates some scientifically validated qualities that I possess, which might be better than my mouthing off whatever I want you to believe about me.
Also, I just bought my best friend's significant other a birthday present, and she really liked it. I think this means I am considerate. :)
P.S. I am a vegetarian, and I'm interested in women who are loving and care about animals.
"I recently discovered that I'm about 1% Jewish, and I'm confident I have a Jewish 3rd cousin. So let that be the 1% that speaks, and consider me a self-hating Jew. Because we all know that the 1% is the only percent that matters, anyway."
"I think the real question is, "Has Elizabeth Warren actually done anything to help the Native Americans?" They live in forgotten squalor, and no one gives a [----] about them. So what about their mighty representative in the Senate? What does she do to defend the people who enabled her success?"
I scored a 35 on the MCAT and had a 3.72 GPA at Emory, and I was supposed to be a medical doctor. But I alienated the elite by pointing out how racist they are with statements like these. Now I deliver pizzas. I have a few business ideas in the works, however, and I don't expect to stay down forever. Also, being a pizza delivery guy is actually a pretty good job. Thanks a million, Mr. Schnatter.
I like Jewish girls; they are smart and conscientious. But obviously I mean ancestry and upbringing and not religion or race. The most important quality a woman can have is the ability to love.
Market price for a live-in nanny is around $300/week. If it were our child, I would do it for free (though hopefully be able to hire said nanny). If it's some other idiot's kid, forget it! Also, if you are just looking for money, you are doing it wrong; escorts can make anywhere between $100/hour and around $4,000 per night. With that much money you can pay the live-in nanny and forgo the complication of living with someone you do not love. </span><br />

I think I thought myself right into the answer. Wouldn't it make more sense for people to buy cute little houses on small plots of land and spend 40k or so on the entire ordeal? Who in his right mind, if it were an option to purchase such affordable housing, would spring for the down-payment, 30 year mortgage, and 300k house that ends up costing twice as much as that in compounded interest? Why do we buy houses we can't afford? We have no fucking choice!<br />
<br />
As soon as a piece of land becomes valuable, say because a region develops a business interest, developers (aka bankers or rentiers) descend on the real estate like a flock of vampiric vultures. They work with local legislatures to ensure that ONLY giant houses that cost more than people can afford will be built. They pass local bylaws in the real estate they pull out from under the public's legs stating that only giant houses may be built. They even go so far as to dictate that people must plant some stupid weed on their lawn and presumably expect them to pay thousands more dollars for a machine used to cut the weed. This is known as grass. It's just the cherry on the poisoned cake.<br />
<br />
In short, the American public has no say in what sort of housing they'd like to live in. Certainly, they would not choose to live in exploitative large and overly expensive houses, if they had a fucking free choice. But who can compete with the banking system to purchase that land and build cheaper housing on it? Who can compete with the old boys club on the back stage rigging all the laws? The American public is absolutely forced into taking out exploitative loans or into paying exorbitant rents to owners usually in league with those banking rentiers.<br />
<br />
Where's my 40k house that I can fill with expensive niceties out of the half a million dollars I saved by not purchasing a "private interest" "corporate" house? It doesn't exist because the housing market is an insane monopoly pretending to be free enterprise, complete with shady legislative connections and banking chicanery. Well, I say, we've had enough.<br />
<br />
It's time to demand government housing for everyone. We'd all certainly pay lower rents that way, and certainly the democratic opinion favors smaller houses married to far less exploitative deals. Given the education and the choice, I sincerely believe the American public would choose not to get taken for hundreds of thousands dollars, translating into literal years and years of real labor value, and would instead opt to live in a dwelling more in line with their modest wages. What about spending cuts?<br />
<br />
What about austerity? Why the silence when Republicans stand to lose some of their precious money, whether by an attack on their feudal nonsense or by a heartfelt jab at their willingness to spend lots of money ensuring that 50 million Americans go medically uninsured, a death sentence for untold thousands. And all that because they hope to ultimately profit from those deaths. Now who mentioned death panels again?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080042301912678838.post-15075961919266142092015-02-12T11:08:00.000-08:002016-03-22T08:42:38.542-07:00The Woeful Cost of Having a Vagina<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto; word-break: break-word;">
So, today, I stumbled upon this article at Jezebel.com where this woman wrote an article detailing the cost of having a vagina, presumably to imply the argument that it's so much harder to be a woman.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto; word-break: break-word;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto; word-break: break-word;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;">Here's a link to the article. Well, I decided that was an incredibly narrow-minded and sexist argument, since the vagina is incredibly valuable, compared to, say, a cock. But we all know that women are terrible at math, so I decided to help them. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;">Use this simple formula:</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;">Now, I'm not a social scientist or anything. In fact, I hope to deliver pizzas for a living. But I think we can both agree that there might be a sex difference in subjective genital value. Anyway, this is the comment I left on the article. I guarantee it gets censored, so I decided to put it here instead:</span></span></div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Well, to be fair. The average vagina is worth a lot of money as well, probably more than it costs. I'd agree to have one. I mean, I just read this comment written by the friend of a cam whore. Keep in mind that being a cam whore doesn't even involve touching anyone. It's literally what *showing* men your vagina is worth. You can probably make more if you actually decide to have sex. On the flip side, my penis is worth basically nothing to women. Men believe in free love.</blockquote>

<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">I have a friend whose girlfriend now does it. She gets $500/show average and does it M/W/F - so $1500/week. [No comment on the time requirement, which is probably like 5 hours a week.] You do the math, thats a little over $70k a year (I don't have a calculator) something like 74 if I'm not mistaken (my friend who dated her found other girls earning $800-$1000+ per show. Yea it's serious!) [No comment on whether this income is taxed.]<br />You have to be different though. There are a lot of girls with girls, girls with guys, you want something that a lot of men can fantasize to. If you would like ideas just look up the most popular porn topics.
