Ergoloid mesylates enhancement - 101

Observing mediated perceptual process.
Memory.
Pervasive,relational, 'holographic'.

*a nice idea for video compression*
I noticed [1] the observed visual 'shape-wavelets' - like devious tetris-rain falling through the visual field
I would not call this 'hallucination' or 'mere entoptica overlayed on the visual process'

I call it perception-under-observation

"Good technological innovation is bio-mimicry"

*The triad*
Perception. Observer. Mediator.

Perception is receptive

Observer is neutral

Mediator is active

Mediator constructs self (identity-intention) in relationships of Observed Perception

Mediator may be set to idle
Urination is a good watch-dog timer ;)

If Mediator is set to Idol - god help you
If Mediator is set to Idyll - you help god, but get no work done : a lazy idiot :)

Am I the Mediator ?
I am as far as I know

I find myself crying sometimes.

Feels like it could just wash me away in a flood

If people cried more, there would be much less violence and anger

Trolling is violence and anger

I don't think trolls allow themselves to cry

When was the last time you wept ?

Righteous indignation ... that is violence and anger for the relatively submissive

Imagine ... a whole world dying ... and you feel righteous indignation

See?

Your angel is bound to a chair with duct tape

Paranormal ? Compared to what ?

Here is an example of what is considered NORMAL....

85 people are as rich as the poorest half of ALL OF HUMANITY

I'm joking, right ?

This story comes from here ...The 85 Richest People In The World Have As Much Wealth As The 3.5 Billion Poorest - Forbes





The 85 Richest People In The World Have As Much Wealth As The 3.5 Billion Poorest

Comment Now
International has released a new report called, “Working for the Few,” that contains some startling statistics on what it calls the “growing tide of inequality.”

The report states:

  • Almost half of the world’s wealth is now owned by just one percent of the population.
  • The wealth of the one percent richest people in the world amounts to $110 trillion. That’s 65 times the total wealth of the bottom half of the world’s population.
  • The bottom half of the world’s population owns the same as the richest 85 people in the world.
  • Seven out of ten people live in countries where economic inequality has increased in the last 30 years.
  • The richest one percent increased their share of income in 24 out of 26 countries for which we have data between 1980 and 2012.
  • In the US, the wealthiest one percent captured 95 percent of post-financial crisis growth since 2009, while the bottom 90 percent became poorer.
Let me reiterate that last line for you ...

In the US, the wealthiest one percent captured 95 percent of post-financial crisis growth since 2009, while the bottom 90 percent became poorer.

#4 Will too many ideas make my head explode?

No. Not your head.

This is from the poem (?) I dedicated to you on my 'apophenia' thread-blog -

*Memory compaction audio analogy *
Expanded-MP3 +/2 expanded-MP3 > recompression
(Infinite Impulse Response filter)

This is analogic, ( "Don't be rude !"). It attempts to convey the idea of memory being akin to the sample window in an IIR. And with 100,000,000 programmable units constituting the sample window, your head won't explode, but memories not recently refreshed are embedded deeper in the reverb.

Here it is.

This is at least as important as Das Kapital.

But it is so F***ing Weird !

Damn near paranormal !

And it is two hours long.

Are you a psychological cripple ?

Or can you pay attention for two hours ?

You mean they way the sea stays steady as a rock and the buildings keep washing up and down? Yes I thought that was odd.

I was just listening to Apostrophe on my way to a neighboring town the other day. Oh, Saint Alfonso would be proud of me!

But I do wish Zappa had made more stuff like the Instrumental, eponymous song on Apostrophe; that's such an excellent piece.

There is self-realisation - and there is religion.

Not the same.

Religion is about social binding. Hopefully in a harmonious way.

But it isn't always harmonious ...

Here is an example of The True Religion (pardon me :cool: ) .... IMHO ...


"On Your Way Down"

Sunrise
Sunset
Since the beginning it hasn't changed yet
People fly high begin to lose sight
You can't see very clearly when you're in flight

It's high time that you found
The same people you misuse on your way up
You might meet up
On your way down

Vintage wines from the year '62
It's your thing, it's your thing
It pleases you
You got to frown when you cross town
You think it's an honor just to have you around

It's high time that you found
The same dudes you misuse on your way up
You might meet up
On your way down

You think the sun rises and sets for you
But the same sun rises, sets and shines
On the poor folks too
I don't mind you turning round
I myself would even like a little higher ground

It's high time that you found
The same people you walk on on your way up
You might meet up
On your way down

Frank got a little intimidated by Steve Vai's technical skill - he almost stopped playing guitar because of it !

Understandable ... but NO-ONE had more authentic personal flavor than Frank ...
