bonjour froggies!
tis been a good while since i last checked in...hope
youse are all well.
some points that may be of interest.
1. evolutionary theory is of some importance with
respect to pirsigean metaphysics..yes? well we had
better tidy that theory up then cos at the moment it
sux.
1.1 why? cos it doesn't add up, literally. if genetic
mutation is the source of the raw material for natural
selection to act upon then we wouldn't be here:
simple. the rate of genetic mutation and the
deleterious or neutral value of the great majority of
these mutations means that evolution would not
progress anywhere near fast enough to account for the
diversity and sophistication of life. basically we are
looking at many orders of magnitude of error here.
orthodox darwinian theory is obviously wrong. this
point has been made much better than i have tried by
sir fred hoyle in 'the intelligent universe'.
1.2 so if genetic mutation is not the (main) source of
novel genetic material what is? the most likely
candidates are *whole genes*, with accompanying
instruction codes for assimilation into an organism's
genotype...ie viruses.
1.2.1 viruses are essentially genes. they can survive
interstellar travel and they are continually raining
down upon us from space. our immune systems eliminate
those that are potentially harmful or irrelevant,
admitting those that have evolutionary potential.
1.3 the microbial world (bacteria can also alter
genotypes through plasmids - usually circular dna
segments that can enter cells), when seen from this
perspective, becomes our indispensable evolutionary
ally. but the microbial world is more commonly
connotated negatively....why?
2. why has the microbial world been demonized by
mainstream science? for that matter why have faulty
evolutionary concepts been promulgated by mainstream
science. and why has mainstream philosophy run into a
cul-de sac?
2.1 why? again the answer (i think) is basically a
matter of maths- probability. the catalogue of wrong
turns, faulty reasoning, omissions etc suggests that
human intellectual evolution has been *actively
rather than accidentally impeded*
2.1.1
not convinced? well then why did people like newton, a
memeber of the mystical rosicrucian society,
promulgate a worldview directly at odds with the
wordlview he and other intellectual luminaries adhered
to in private? why was wilhelm reich, orginator of
orgone energy (the chi of the planet) theory and
devices to capture this energy murdered in the usa?
why has the work of tesla and schoenberg been ignored?
and why were 14 million natural philosophers murdered
in europe. yes, the witches. and why is pirsig's
metaphysics finding active opposition in philosophy
circles?
2.2.
ok i could go on but i won't...you guys can check it
out if you wish. the point i am trying to make is that
i used to believe that our culture's intellectual
misadventures were accidental. now i believe that the
development of human consiousness has been
*deliberately stunted and misdirected for millenia*
3. okay then last point: by whom/what and what does it
all mean......hmmmmmmmm
well then that's a big one. let's just say that the
most powerful in the world have tried to stop the
dissemination of key information (science, history,
astrology, magic) for millenia. this is why the
libraries at alexandria and constantinople were burned
(after key books were taken away, to rome probably).
in turn the powerful have helped promulgate a
mechanical materialistic soulless view of reality. one
very interesting thing is that these most powerful
people are very small in number and are usually quite
closely related. for instance, bush and kerry are
related, bush is related to the windsors, so is
clinton. prince charles is a direct descendant of
vlad the impaler. 34 american presidents are direct
descendants of charlemagne, emperor of europe. you can
check all this at genealogy.com.
so what does this mean? well for thousands of years
the vast bulk of humanity has been used, manipulated,
terrorized..kept in a state of confusion and fear. all
facets of our society are touched by this dark hand:
education (makes you stupid), medicine (makes you
ill), charities (help the rich), government (opposes
the people) etc etc. the orwellian nature of our
reality is not difficult to see. fortunately nearly
all of this is kinda irrelevant because the individual
has to participate in this oppressive version of
reality for the control to work: ie unplug from the
'matrix' and you become free, again.
anyway i will shut up now before i dissapear up my own
arse...you guys probably now all this anyway
hasta luego
