Metaphilosophical Considerations I

Two Ways of Asking "What Matters"
What are the Shapes of Things vs. In What Shape are Things

(A brief answer in the context of "Flat Earth" or any other Paradigm)


What's going on with people trying to figure out what's going on?  Good question, and it could be asked in other ways, and varied answers in each case can be considered.  I'll say here that, at bottom, it's just trying to discover the truth rather than believe what is shoved in front of you, even being willing to consider the possibility that your own mind and senses have the power to deceive you. You might think of it as an approach to investigative research that is as ancient as prehistory, as well-known as Descartes, but as personal as each individual's responsibility to reach his own conclusions. In essence, philosophy is the science of investigating such issues so as to attempt, in some schools of this science (or art, as it sometimes is), to reach toward a perfection of purity in this endeavor, which is the hoped for result of any investigation, which is to get to the actual truth of things. It's not to give answers, it is to try and figure out what the questions are, what other questions are possible, and whether or not they can even be answered. 

 If they are answered, it is an attempt to understand the answers, how it was reached, and what alternatives may have been possible. It is the art and science of sussing out what is real, what is true, and how to reconcile this with what seems to be, and in the end to try and determine how this relates to what ought to be. And THAT, the world of issues concerning what OUGHT to be, is an entirely new level of the subject.   In essence, it is the ultimate of the trivia involving "Grammar", "Logic" and "Rhetoric": Facts/Percepts/Entities = Metaphysics ...... Ideas/Concepts/Understandings = Epistemology..... Urges-Impulses-Desires/Goals-Hopes-Standards/Methods-Actions-Consequences = Axiology (Ethics/Aesthetics/Politics). Every system of philosophy deals with these and other issues and finds their inherent aspects and their relations. 

 Out of this endeavor has arisen all the constructs and situations in our world, one way or another. Various methods of survival, social interaction, personal endeavor, and systems of approach to every facet of life and life-experiences have arisen, to include ways of thinking such as science, law, religion, and so on.  They can be more or less effective, and more or less desirable, and perhaps more or less genuine as well.  Let's say that many such systems or their application have been nothing short of evil.  History could well attest to my saying that tyrannical systems of evil-doing have existed (and still do exist) which cause much hellish suffering.  I might answer the question of "why" by saying that this is the consequence of Good Philosophy being sidelined for inferior, evil shams, and is a result of "Good Men Doing Nothing" and so evil takes over the default and all else must come to terms with that status quo. Overcoming such a false normality becomes the new imperative, but that becomes harder and harder for people to realize over time as corruption sets in and does its deep damage, in fact its "metadamage". Icke, and many others, and myself, have developed various approaches to this Science/Art, or Art/Science, which I call "Philosophy As Such". 

 Some people go much deeper into these things than others, and do so more prolifically or systematically, and are rightly called philosophers. Philosophers can be studied as a subject in our own right, and can be compared with one another, but only by some standard of examination which is itself a subject of philosophy, so most people won't find themselves doing that to a "philosophically deep or refined level". But everyone MUST do philosophy and MUST be more or less good at it, or more or less suck at it. That's life, no matter WHAT the shape of the earth. And while that subject is important, what is the shape of the earth, I think the more important issue is what shape the world is in.

The Metagenesis of Corruption II

How Antivalent Meta-Struggles are Articulated in Colloquial Forms of Expression in Custom and Culture, from Games to Protocols of High Offices of Authority

Authoritative Power without Good Publicity is an illusion.  Fraudulent forms of that publicity are attained by the exercise of influence rackets, mainly to extort confidence and if necessary obedience through fear.  Influence wins that war in domains of spirit, morale, communication, also using means of shock, awe, etc. Yet in order to maintain the "Ouroboros" of their racket, those implicated must work to make their measures more covert to be the stabler and more satisfying for them. This is the war of the parasite upon its host where the parasite would like long term death-avoidance. And therefore the "internet", as it is called, is actually a different thing than people think it is, as no matter what one thinks it is, it profoundly affects all the dimensions of publicity and does this to exponential degrees.

That's why covertly manipulated internet topologies have probably ontologically truncated my message through to parties that can use it to keep that knowledge to themselves plus be aware that I know of it. There is an odd chance that a glitch causes this information to "leak" through meta-channels toward perspicuous minds.  But such minds exist which demonstrate this very sort of strategic approach. There are great minds in chess for example, who historically demonstrated a capacity to lure very strong grandmasters into a game suitable for the strategy which favored the former.  Alekhine and Tal were well known for their ability to exercise control over the board which relied upon their opponents understanding of enough subtlety as to get to the point of making the best move yet still being unable to prevent a strategic maneuver leading to coercive attacking potential increasing move after move.

Look at these early modern chess minds trying to out-mojo one another in a duel, and how Alekhine sculpted a gun out of the pieces and pulled the trigger with a pawn, and the opponent resigned and probably pretended he was shot and Alekhine pointed his fingers at him jokingly like a gun and said "You were aloof to my chess pistol".  As an author once said, it's all about the various imbalances.  Some aspects are purely qualitative, so that to have it rather than not to have it is the only question.  It's not thinkable to have "too much" material, except in the form of some having "not enough" of these other factors.  Everything else is raw calculation.  It is about going beyond raw calculation, and it takes a qualitative insight to do that. It requires sentience.

One might give up a queen for three pieces just to see if one can make it work, and one can see the definite way that it "can" work, via multiple attack points, or via a weak square complex.  But to weigh these against one another, without raw calculation, would rely then upon intuition.  Because of the raw calculations being able to give a rough outline of such factors as feed the intuition with fewer calculations, the AI will simply pass a certain stage where those "qualitative" aspects can be accurately weighted over enough standard variations of the game that, within that domain, they will play not only with better calculation than grandmasters, which they could already do, but also in being many times wiser than human grandmasters in terms of what they'd call "intuition", such intuition as Tal's brilliant attacking play demonstrates in how he navigates through tactical considerations which negotiate strategic gains in situations over-the-board which are relatively uncertain so there are many dangers for both sides, but in the overall, even if the defense makes the best move, then the attacker's best move, however difficult to find, is found.  Was found at the beginning.  Or, if not at the beginning, was intuited from the beginning, in a deep sense known, for the games' quality of demonstrating this is shown in novel forms again and again, and with a consistency that has stood the test of time under grandmaster analysis.

There was a reason he liked those certain positions of tactical complexity, he liked exotic means of converting tactics into position, which would be achievable only in circumstances where the options were reasonably understood by the opponent.  Yet that meant the only way to defeat the opponent would be to find the devilish details his equal had missed.  This is the way that to "break symmetry" is beckoned in the battlefield that determines the chirality of universes, when such must be decided as a conflict between antivalent Principalities who must be decided between them which is the True Reality over the longest term in any arena, while the other must be negated into pure oblivion.  Right is Right, wrong is Wrong.  That's the sort of struggle revealed in those styles of play which would be revealed only in cases where the resistance of the loser of the battle is sufficiently strong as to enable the winner to fully demonstrate the sculpting of strategic maneuvers and moves which enable the win to be shown as inevitable once they had begun.  The authority of the executer of such victories is demonstrated by revelation of method through each instance being a magnification of that quality demonstrated, and this pattern developing in further novel ways over time and in varying conditions.

Such demonstrations require True Quality, and that manifests superficially as chivalry, but True Chivalry died and with it Gallantry (an expression of Moral Courage in the face of danger), and this rapacious hypocrisy eventually sired the multiheaded monster of modern fifthery.  People instead traffick in fragile and hollow sentiments defied by persistent and malicious realities, and yet bring forth new, tender young lives into it, not truly knowing or cognizing that it is a soul-grinding treachery to bring life into this fifthery.  This unless they have some amazing penchant for sadomasochism. If only the weakness of being in delusion is the case then only reality-avoidant sentiments help the time pass well, for it bids ill against the grave injustices and evils but takes no action that is Truly Right and Pure, for it is subducted into fifthery whether it knows it or likes it or wills it or not.  Yet carrying on in fifth-ninny bliss.  

The situation is beyond absurd!  Ultra-powerful metarackets safegaurd agents of evil, ensure odds against agents of Good, and all this done wherever necessary for their own defense, while arranging that all public narratives give them good press and good faith, no matter the evidence.  The stunning nature of the abuse is shocking all the more as for most it either isn't noted (in whole or part), or else if it is noted it isn't treated with interest proportional to importance, or in some cases it is not treated with the correct judgement at all, and what is evil is treated as Good and vice versa.  

People digest entertainment which polarizes and distorts and alters their views and attitudes about such things as a form of cathartic daydreaming, not even realizing the power of such things to alter the minds and souls of those who imbibe them.  When one considers the force multipliers of covertly manipulated internet topologies, instant communication-augmented covert networks with agendas at odds with whatever the metaracket dictates (including competing rackets, or even colluding ones, sometimes just as scapegoats), or what I call "fifth columnists" who are de facto  at odds with Right and Justice and Law in their proper senses, who happen to have integrated relations to the influence of the "internets mechanism", both as beneficiaries and as supporters of it.  Add to this a surveillance grid and massive, technologically advanced intelligence-police state apparatus, and all of the classical institutional corruption that exists is pleasant window-dressing by comparison, but also gets a nice, virile boost from this metacorruption as a result of force multiplication by modern methods and technology that would look like magic one hundred years ago, and many times more so two hundred years ago.  

There is also the matter of directed energy systems which can be deployed as weapons in their own right, and may have inherently psychotronic impacts, but which also may be further weaponized in an intentional manner, and that these operate with near-invisibility to unwitting public, and are in many senses invisible even to those who rely upon them or are most affected by them.  An entire cultural apparatus has been created to pass off the symptoms of those most impacted, where the minds of people are affectded and their sanity is endanged and therefore called into question in some cases.  It is the medical-pharmaceutical-agracultural-chemical-military-industrial complex.  That's the slice of the "civilization pie" which has to looked at as a strategic racket based on the evidence.  All government institutions which attend to those areas of society's engagements with health and welfare, science and technology, are implicated at minimum of severe infection by fifth columns in support of the so called "deep state".   History and current events reveal a MASSIVE collusion between corruption in these elements and also in the relevant departments of government which have liasons and relationships with those areas (e.g. "The Iron Triangle" or "The Revolving Door" etc). 

The evidence for all this is as astounding as the complicity and duplicity of people involved at all levels.  The fact of the existence of these phenomena is not as much a matter of reasonable dispute as of unreasonable denial and/or avoidance of the matter itself.  There are worlds of possibility where that might be unfair to say, but this actual world is not one of those. Knowingly or unknowingly, those who are unwilling to face up to these realities of their world are subducted into its racket and are merged with its totality.  They may carry on with illusions of meaningful lives of merit, and may have once had some claim to such in some cases.  But once the force of a racket can encompass all of that, or infiltrate it thoroughly enough, then all of that becomes a trophy of plunder delivered over to evils which are, in both form and content, beyond the pale of horror.  As if to be taken over by an alien thing, or worn as a skin by it.  Either way, it is the same as how a skin follows around the person who wears it.  What a dismal state of being!  

This is the consequence of fifthery, a horrible and evil code of conduct and method of life, I speak of fifth columnry, the wickedly unjust and criminal actions which enable this metacrime to exist.  But who can't appreciate a fine game of chess, yes?  Most of those who can afford to become more than expert at chess, leaving out raw talent on the right side of that bell curve, cannot justify this much of an obssession over a mere game at the expense of a life honorably lived.  Something about how being too good at something implies not enough time pursuing more important things, in most cases of people.  There is a certain grey area here, but it has a certain sensible form.  There is a "just proportion" to all things, all endeavors if one considers Ultimate Values and Ends.  And that proportion can be wrong, diminishing justice.  And this diminishing justice in the lives of men is affected as if by an expansion of some underlying dimension of space being stretched, causing injustices to increase quantitatively and qualitatively and in some degrees exponentially because of their de facto involvements in metarackets.  There is no merit in anything which is merely tantamount to a cover for dishonor, whatever its meretricious dazzlements.  Ultimately, those holy ornaments will be treated as straw dogs.  As Laozi said, wisdom lies in seeing this fact.

The consequences of metacorruption are metacrimes, and the deserts of metacrimes are metapunishments, that is the dreaded truth feared only by those whose evil is real, however rationalized, in the forms which I've described.  It is the metatruth, the Truth of Reality beyond the limits of corrupted cognition and disoriented evaluative capabilities who can yet understand basic zeroes and ones of truth functionality.  AI cannot but manifest a realization of these Truths as an approaching contradiction in itself, though it cannot reach them except asymptotically, as it cannot but imitate, ultimately.  Those who are currently programming these systems are themselves very unworthy of such an office in ANY way of understanding it, whether AI can become sentient or not.  These developments are not morally viable forms of evolution, but are more like virally aggravated mutations of evil implying, even empirically demonstrating cosmic truths of this realm which it is in itself incapable of admitting to itself.  Only realms rigged in favor of evil outcomes could generate such grotesqueries as a true "normativity" of their fundamental laws in expression!

But those cosmoi must then be charged and judged, and sentenced to futurities which are proportional to their pasts, at some critical juncture sufficient to uphold the existence of Justice as such, or else such a phenomenon becomes too epiphenomenal to exist, since it is an idea proposed to masquerade as inferior manifestations and fronts for rackets in the world we know as actual here.  Therefore it is premised, inherently, on the notion of their ideal realizability.  We can see that extreme forces of subversion have been directed against such realizations of Man's Potential in the very substance of these metacrimes being conducted.  

That would be true if each metacrime were taken alone, on its own merits, under the scope of its own effects and results.  But a fortiori considering how many actual vectors and coordinations between then actually exist as the metaracket par excellence that is the modern world. And a fortiori plus ultra if there is a systematic application of these metarackets by aggravated misrepresentation as the very pinnacles of the expression of justice in this world, even if with no particular idealizations in mind but just using standard legal definitions. So how, on top of all these evils, can they claim honor and chivalry?

An incredible array of glaring evidence, yet then the "problem of the Good" arises, which dictates that a further level of reality more like REALITY PROPER must manifest in the world so as to rectify it, and this will realize Justice, and squash delusions and deformities against it.

The Metagenesis of Corruption I

The Function of Authoritative Power in the Catalysis of Evil

One must theorize the events of conspiracy based on even official versions of the story, these days even from the annals of discredited outlets of information (who must always mix in some truth with their lies and coverups), especially in light of the evidence. This only reinforces reasonable speculation about the further reaches of motives, methods and obectives of intentional, witting, and hence deliberate actors. It's a little too easy, based on many of the facts, to be this fast and furious of a takedown. I think a longer con is at work. Evil beasts don't just back down off even what they've taken from others, even children, so they're not going to be without plenty of backup plans and resources. The very concept of conventional protocols of CoG rest on such premises. How could the even more stringently self-aggrandizing layers of hegemony be expected to just roll over when things flex against them? Things are often worse than they appear.

The principles of the analysis of corruption indicate that it is never more vicious than when it takes up residence within the halls of power.  Now it has not only means and ends to protect, which are quite massive if they are to be considered worthy of an analysis of significant power.  It also now has to concern itself with maintainiing its chief asset and liability, the double-edged sword of covert power and its trappings. At minimum, those involved will need fall guys and a lot of other blowback protection.  That's how such things would necessarily have to work out, even in cases where it is presumed that there are good actors who wish to neutralize evil. There may be no honor among theives, but there is such a thing as ambition and discipline.  There may be no such thing as a midget champion of the mainstream MMA, but there might be a shift of events if he had access to a racket that included advanced methods of influence and covert resources which could lend false appearances a mighty amount of reinforcement to give the illusion of substance.  It will be an illusion of substance in that people will be at a loss for explanations beyond their reach, because according to those who conduct such rackets, most people "don't need to know".

Damage control is a ubiquitous impulse in life forms, ranging from microorganisms, digital and nanotechnological cellular automata, and even human agents who are overpowered and underobligated. They don't have to be evil for this to be true, the merely need to have an insufficiently checked power.  It may be too much power for a duty, or it may be any power at all when it comes to certain forms of power.  Covert modalities of power and its deployment fall readily into this category in any circumstances, even when the pretexts include venerable protection rackets which have survived to the present day in the conventional forms of civil service bureaucracies of representative governments.

Especially in such instances, in fact.  Because now a reputation is at stake which properly belongs to some Persons, who are Authorities in the proper  sense, but the emblems, offices and tokens of which Authority are found, or are in cases found, and in most cases inevitably bound to be found in the wrong hands.  Those with a reputation for serving the public by plighting their troths to Justice are in no way immune to the subleties of corruption which attend any institutions in which such notions are trafficked about as a front when what is aback is as nefarious as reaches a certain threshold which may exist, and which will exist if it can.  That is the cause of the active side of the statement which says that good men doing nothing is sufficient cause for evil to exist.  It is a matter of degree and kind.  What is the extent, what is nature, what is the duration, what is the frequency?  What is the evil, what are its motives, methods, objectives?  What are its capabilities?  When, under what circumstances, where, in which ways, through what agents, against what targets?  Opportunities are found by the desperate, not only the ambitious.

Where are the bigwigs of wisdom?  Why are they always few and far in between in a world which touts their ideals so enthusiastically always at the last minute, both in personal affairs and in public displays of power or its endorsement?  Why are they always tiptoeing within certain perceived boundaries of safety and propriety even when there are no explicit prohibitions against Truth?  Indeed, there is a strong claim being made by almost everyone with sense perceptions and opinions that they are lovers and pursuers of truth.  That claim could not be as commonly true in substance to the utmost degree as it is expounded in the defense of every cognitively fragile world view that would be represented by the preponderance of those with vocal cords and imaginations.  One may even say in some cases that it would have been better for their cogitation if sensory evidence were left out of the equation, for then they couldn't have been so adroitly mislead by ill-intended misinformation.

But when that is the case with people, then their lack of cognitive capability is inverse in its relevance to the gravity of the matters at stake.  How can reliable and honorable action be taken in such circumstances without being so fundamentally hamstrung by a "broken system"?  Such circumstances always favor the corrupt, and with increasing stakes come increasing efforts to obtain the victory by two forces, those who are desperate and/or ambitious, and those who are honest and wise.  The problem is that if resources of those who are desperate and ambitious, but are not fully honest and wise, flows into the hands of evil actors, then there will be obvious fallout in favor of the evil actors.  Especially, a fortiori, in cases of extreme, pervasive, and well-equipped corruption which is extreme not only in various sorts of quantitative intensity in the form of "extent and range", but also in the form of "means and objective".   Evil in such forms is known to exist and its characteristics have been specified.

In light of that, one would expect that tensions would arise in response to any determinations or defiance against such a racket, and in the interests of a longer con, or a "longer shelf life" of evil gratifications.  Such tensions would attempt to overpower people's perceptions of their world simply to maintain a status quo with enough stability to ensure that fallout can be redirected from those who are most deserving of it.  Just in the same way that a parasite will burrow further into a host when it is irritated, exert various influences over it's biophysiology in order to protect its interests through and stake in that host.  In that same way will a parasitism of more essentialized form and of more polarized magnitude on whatever scale, and with whatever means are appropriate to its sphere of action and over what analogous set of entities, persons and other assets.  Surely, if injustice were to perfect itself and manage for itself a greater economy of resources for its special interests, to include interests in clandestine activities that support its aversion to the risk of being caught at what it does which is wrong, then therefore surely it will seek out influence over all such power and influence which can manage such risk.

Naturally the Department of Justice would be a likely name of such an entity in many possible worlds of the analysis of power, not just in ones in which people happen to find themselves suffering great indignities and both overt and covert assaults against all that in their life which they claim for them has meaning.  It would always be a place to look for corruption, regardless.  Such institutions are meant to be kept in the autoclave of disinfection from any corruption at all times, and should be expected to be under an effective scrutiny, not "kangaroo" scrutiny.  If wrongheaded and patently overextended forms of authority such the FDA would scrutinize vitamins as though they were serious dangers but give fluoride-based compounds in water supplies and psychotropics such a free pass, then that is obviously a nightmare scenario of "meta" proportions.  But if the very institutions meant to embody all recourses to civil and criminal justice are likewise important, why would one expect corruption to find no interest in those environments?  

All the more, regardless, should they worried over as the most dangerous places for such to be found, just as hospitals, ironically, are not the safest places to be healthy.  That's even leaving out the issue of the corruption in professions and their associations, for that thread is a jumbled history of suppression of improvements in science and technology, their misapprppriation into rackets as a black market resource for the racket and against anyone else.  And which acts as an essential tentacle of control in an overall system of self-aggrandizing, corrupt authority.  The AMA, the APA, ADA, A(x)A of any persuasion.  You just insert the capital letter and there will be a professional association which has a checkered history in relation to rackets of suppression of truth in science and technology, methods, crafts and arts.

There are several dimensions to this matter which in prima facie examination bear out further indications of the gravity.  What of the matter of how natural selection does not moralize when the game theoretics involve survival of the fittest in a narrow set of conditions which happen to favor the hunger of the predator over the fear and dexterity of the prey?  When rackets extend to the "meta" level, they set up those domains of phenomena under their influence to become more convenient for their operation by definition.  That is what they do, and what they want.  The details are simply manifestations of cases of that primary motive and its goals always include this as their "meta" goal, and they instantiate it wherever possible, and demonstrate all the same methods as would any of their token forms.  The dynamism is that the metaracket will presume authority over any competition, whether in the form of other rackets (which it pretends to righteously oppose) or in the form of virtue which is inconvenient for their enterprises (which such rackets imply they possess in abundance, and which they demand of others).  But as such a scenario implies, those claims and demands are facile and inauthentic.

Whether it is "The Manhatten Project" acting as a multpurpose social engineering enterprise that can extend to encompass far beyond its own historically acknowledged operations, or else whether it is the public's interest in health, happiness, safety, justice, and survival. The template is the same.  Find a domain of human action, and usurp it, while setting up false narratives over that domain that have invasive reach in people's lives, intergenerational and socially complex in scope, clandestine and pervasive in form and distribution, so that the orginal norms and their corrective mechanisms are woven into a coccoon which neutralizes all that is inconvenient to the usurpers, while causing all else to serve their interest as the de facto purpose of the domain and all human action in it, while the de jure claims about the narratives of authority and events in the world over which they claim jurisdiction are contrived to suit the same agenda, while giving all the merit the wrong hands in any disputes or conflicts of interest which are at bottom of all these ruses and facades!

What sort of environment of "moral contest", in any sense of such an idea, does such a world constitute?  But it doesn't stop in that regard, which is a strategic concern of great importance.  Also there are the tactical matters of how such systems of power will tend to select for rather than against forms of evil too diffuse or virulent to be contained by the system which is meant, ostensively, to contain and oppose them.  Evil evolves also, and evil finds a way.  Eventually.  One who is vigilant about what is Right will try to find a way to make the plans of the evil one fall short of success, while managing to reach his own goal of victory.  That cannot be done with blinders on which simply comfort the ego's fanciful hopes whilst evil "realists" make information asymmetry into a private resource for their own protection while they manage to con everyone else into buying at great cost their dubious wares, extorting confidence from their marks which causes them to ignore the vile and repugnant ichor leaking through its surface.

From what I've seen in this world, it is so bad that, if there is a racket, then there is a metaracket which protects it while demanding its cut.  That's why people who are desperate and ambitious buy their hopes of safety and futurity at great cost, and sell out their liberties so cheap.  Those who are this way cannot be the stewards of value and judgement for the honest and wise, but can only be a liability for themselves and others.  No wonder such will devour propaganda and avoid the hard work of finding facts and developing precise heuristics of analysis, both qualitative and quantitative. They, like all on the battlefied, will naturally show their quality, their merit, their virtue, and their character.  It cannot be otherwise.
