    Selfishness and the New Covenant

    Dwight and I hit upon an original idea. We start out talking about selfishness. What is it? Simply stated, selfishness is what causes suffering in the world. Then we talk about the New Covenant. In Christian theology this is the new era Christ came to usher in. What if we view this New Covenant as an evolution is human consciousness? Think of it beyond theology--what could that mean? Perhaps it is a new stage of human psychological development where people stop judging others and start to accept and love each other. Wow!

    Futurism (divorcing ourselves from the current system)

    The subject is "futurism" and what we end up talking about is not  a movement in art, music, and literature that began in the early 20th century, rather we discuss how to divorce ourselves from the current system of false authority. Banking and education are discussed as is our "need" for war and manufacturing of enemies. Enough of this mess, this corrupt system does not make sense any more and it is time for a new matrix. As new technologies like Bitcoin and HyperGraph are only now coming on-line and we will see the whole system flip over as we reach the tipping point. The old system will become obsolete, but what will the new system look like? That is the question.

    This Absurd Life (the Myth of Sisyphus)

    In the Myth of Sisyphus, the hero has to push a rock up a mountain; upon reaching the top, the rock would roll down again, leaving Sisyphus to start over.  Sisyphus is a symbol of mankind as a whole and Sisyphus' punishment symbolizes what we do every single day during our lives and how absurd it can seem. We talk about the dark-side of the Christian faith, namely what is like to be in a high-demand religious group or even just to pastor a church when it becomes all about duty and obligation. Here we confess our struggle with a belief in God on the one hand and a rejection of organized religion on the other as we struggle to find meaning in it all.

    Bitcoin: The Separation of Bank and State

    The separation of church and State was a good idea... now it is time to think about the separation of bank and State. It is an idea who's time has come. Buckminster Fuller once said, “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” This is exactly what Satoshi Nakamoto has done! Calling Bitcoin a "disruptive technology" is an understatement. Money unmoored from any central authority is the new model. As the old money system that political structures depend on becomes obsolete so will the political structures themselves.   zz4idz22

    Black Mirror: Fifteen Million Merits - Entertainment Above All

    The populace of ‘Fifteen Million Merits’ are controlled because they want to be controlled. We all secretly crave fascism, but don’t like it being called that. The most efficient forms of managing us are ones that we have accepted, or demanded. And what our society seems to demand most is not truth or justice, but rather entertainment.

    Populism, Profanity, and Hacking Democracy

    What is populism?  The DimWits get political. Yes, we are going to talk about Trump. That's subject we have avoided (but could avoid no longer). In the course of conservation we also talk about profanity and how it can actually be a healthy thing in moderation. Has Trump made America great again, or just made profanity more fashionable? Maybe it a little of both... but get ready for the next election to hacked as we enter Info War 2.0.

    Forget Russian Hacking, the A.I. Will Save Us

    The Dimwits get into the question of Russian Hacking and Influencing the US Election. We talk about to a return to the old foreign policy of Mutual Assured Destruction (or MAD). Did Trump partner with Putin to make Russia great again or do these two secret lovers only pretend not to like each other in public? Who cares. Moreover, we need not worry because artificial intelligent is all most here and it will rescue humanity from it own destructive madness (or at least keeps us entertained and happy so we forget about war). Why are some liberals so up-tight and conservative? Relax the 20th century is not going to repeat itself. Being friends with Russia isn't so bad.  The AI will direct us and provide for us. Was the American election hacked? Forget about it.

    Under the Shade Tree

    Dwight and I sit under a shade tree talking about Circling, the Four Nobel Truths, and how the small town we live in has changed over the years. Enjoy the free flow conversation.  You can hear the sound of people mowing their lawn in the background as the Dimwit reminisce about the history of Siloam Springs and talk about what brings peace and meaning to life.  Photo by Emily Moore - https://www.emilymoore.com/oil-painting-gallery-ii-nonfleur/under-the-shade-tree
