Ok. So I'm uploading the results of the CAT scan on here. It looks normal to me but CAT scans (as opposed to MRI as opposed to PET) are generally lossy and don't show much other than gross structural abnormalities (although you can see some minor calcification in the mid hind brain which is apparently normal as you age although I swear I didn't have that before I showed up to San Francisco. CAT scan images. If this is a "this is your brain on drugs" joke or a "D.A.R.E devil" joke I'm incredibly disappointed. Also there's book arranging by idiots (see Ghostbusters and someone rearranging the books in the library) that's "saying" that "a lone gay genius figured out the solution to the popuation crisis" - by poisoning segments of the population and fucking with them when they're not liked apparently. As opposed to CONDOMS. Or using birth control. Or using the morning after pill. Or having an abortion. Or... meanwhile I don't know what the cause of my headaches is but it's most likely chemical meaning it won't show up on a scan. It may be Mercury poisoning because it's "funny" and Mercury has all of the craters named after famous dead people, it's the Roman god of the underworld (but not the greek! see that's funny!), and because of that stupid company called Mercury (as opposed to the "Cash App" where the chinese guy was killed by crazy people). So it could be Mercury poisoning based on of all things one of the plays by Plautus. I "know this" because plays and books that are interesting is what I reach for when everyone around me becomes a murderous idiot and they know this and then are screwing with my life. Amphitryon. Which means you can't have any nice things in San Francisco or they'll use the plot of the nice things to hurt you. So you can only wear clothes that make you look like a moron and read shit that's stupid so that people don't go out of their way to hurt you based on a classical text. It's so fucking shitty. So "super man" is someone that smokes pot when they don't wear their glasses, spider man is someone that jerks off, DARE devil is someone that says "no" to drugs or is blind...I don't know why the fuck they're doing this other than a joke about the Incredibles maybe? It's so fucking hard to tell what level of stupid I have to figure out in order to avoid being poisoned by crazy people. If you're a radiologist and are competent please reach out and let me know what you think of my head.
OK - so I came to the section on wikipedia on the swamping problem on the difference between justified true belief and non-justification which is referenced as well by the idea of the espresso machine problem. Cute. This would explain the large amounts of correlative non-parametric effects mixed with brainwashing and drugs because "coffee" and "socrates". Because I would rather drink coffee than do drugs and then this becomes a joke about how I must be an idiot. Or is a joke on "wokeness". Also see eye disease that fucks up your vision that may come from the Chinese, may come from Harvey Milk, may screw up the folds of your eyes. And yet I believe that Socrates would probably have been against torture as well unless we're just picking stupid shit that he talked about regardless of whether he was right about most things in order to "justify" whatever the fuck we want to use to fuck with someone. Because funny. Go through and correlate every philosophical thought experiment (because they're not "real" experiments) on wikipedia with "chaotic stupid" and torture. I find this amusing only insomuch as whoever is doing this is demonstrating that they shouldn't be trusted with so much as rubbing two sticks together because they'd somehow use it to hurt someone. Which is funny because "Peter Singer" in the 2009 book The Life You Save and then I get to be compared to all the "Peters" in every field that just so happen to be cooler than I am in some stupid way. As if there can't be two Peters that are interested in philosophy without being tortured or drugging and copying each other.
And then I'm supposed to argue about whether or not you should care for the poor and give all your money to charity because Peter Singer advocated for being a good person more than most are capable of as opposed to say making it so that the place you live in doesn't have doctors that you go to that will tell the next patient that is poor a lie or sicken them and that's the doctor that is supposed to be curing you. Or have police that are so corrupt that you can't trust them to do the job they're supposed to because they're sick or hated. Or having everything possible break because doing the right thing in any capacity at all totally makes it so that you're now a preacher trying to tell you're neighbors how to act and everyone will get angry and set your car on fire if you tell them not to say poison the food in the shelters or attempt to have people murdered a block away using sick. Because then you must be a towering intellect of philosophical might that believes in "teams" and "right and wrong" and "oh god which religion do I believe in now do I have to pick sides it's so confusing and scary". It's cool - it's not as if I haven't been stalked repeatedly across the city to the fucking knowledge argument. Cool. I learned everyone that's been in the city for the last 5 years is a massive asshole and I've been being stalked by crazy people while no one says anything. Man you sure showed me. No this is not fun. Yes this is torture and I hold anyone that decided to do this shit or participate in it responsible for being a shitbag. Also the answer to the Mary problem (goody let's fuck with someone and see if we can come up with an answer to an intractable philosophical problem) is clearly that she will see red and have a response to it that will be dependent on her previous experiences which are limited but she has qualia and so she will be able to distinguish it from non-color. As opposed to the poor french girl that was locked in a room for years and never developed language (the wolf girl of paris - oh goody is that like "Vurt" - ick). See also this. What we should do is we should take an intellectual and have them poisoned according to their interests in an attempt to have them murdered in a funny way thus proving that our entire society and way of life is so disgustingly disfunctional that we should have the entire thing dismantled and started over from scratch by people that *don't believe in torturing someone*. Oh - cool. I like S&M porn on the internet by consenting individuals and not to be followed and poisoned. Was that the reason that all of my friends and family decided to have me shunned and killed? Without telling me anything? Let's gaslight and lie to this person for years and then have him killed when he's middle age and not useful anymore. WONDERFUL.
I don't know why I'm working on stupid problems having to do with England. I'm not James Bond, it was just in the news. Don't poison me. I'm not the fucking Church of England. That said - rainbarrels could provide four times the amount of water per apartment as needed in central london and then sold back to the water system (although the last is more complicated). As opposed to spending 1500 dollars on a phone that you can buy a used one for forty. There's a phone that's two thousand dollars that folds in half just like a one dollar book does! But that's cool. You can't have disgust with the state of stupidity being used with money or you think that everyone should give all of their money away to starving children in foreign poor countries. No middle ground at all. Totally not allowed. OK everyone this guy's talking sense let's all find where he lives and read a book on ancient plays and quote that shit to him while we poison his pillows when he's not looking! Someone might buy us free food or a pair of sneakers HOLY SHIT!
And here I've come up with a proposal to balance France's budget and get it under the EU's target of 2 percent without cutting pensions or the military, reforming the hospital system to be more aligned with Germany's and shifting the savings to transportation and energy exports. Taking this as inspiration. And the veil of ignorance thought experiment that seems a bit like my thoughts on "idiot philosophy" but are probably both short hand for what it means to be a kantian idealist to some extent. Maybe if someone says that this is a good way to do it they'll be politically neutral enough that someone in France might think it's worth considering. Also see the movie Dave also see the book by Dava Sorbel "Longitude" which was "Ghostbuster" stacked at the community thrift store, which is at least a better "key" than say "having Oscar Wilde" solve the "population bomb" by just turning people gay - which were the other books. Which is gross. Also condoms. God invented birth control because God invented man. QED. Which may be why everyone in San Francisco is acting overly Japanese (don't eat in public it's weird! really? Also if you read in public people will freak out because it looks like the idiot on the cover of a flyer for the magazine the New Yorker - people here are sick seriously). Balancing the budget in France seems straightforward if people *really* don't want to get rid of retirement and the hospitals are more expensive than Germany. If nothing else that's a good place to start. Combine that with one of the largest bureacracies in Europe and a large energy sector that could use subsidies and the problem almost solves itself. And I played with the copilot output until it just started agreeing with me and saying that you could push a button and reduce the debt level of a country (while "tackling" the issue - I take it that idiots are going around outside with football jerseys on in front of cameras to see if they can fuck with copilot). The main takeaway appears to be that the easiest thing to do would be to cap spending on the top 10 percent of earners, eliminate pension growth tied to inflation unnecessarily (or in a way not tied to wage growth), privatize the hospitals, and spend more money on communal infrastructure while getting rid of overlapping spheres of bureacratic control. I don't know how much or how well that's working in San Francisco as the police then get to have private fiefdoms (as a "thought experiment"), but I take it that enough people are asking bing what the easiest way to solve social problems are that's it's starting to be taken seriously by people. So the output that I'm getting is similar to the output that everyone else is asking bing about at once. Which is weird. On the other hand...why not attempt to fix at least France to some extent by at least suggesting the reforms? Is this not preferable to setting fire to busses? Maybe not, but you would at least assume this would be the case.
Oh I was also followed around by an idiot in a black shirt with white text and a coors hat that had "monkey's paw tiki bar" which is supposedly supposed to talk about how my hands are fucked up. And then it's "science vs nature" and you'll have the douchebags that are asking around for money from the save the children fund being science and the douchebags that are asking around for money from the nature conservatory being nature and depending on how much money they raise that day I take it that that's how I'm going to be screwed with to some disease or something stupid. And then given "fresh scent" lotion which I can totally use on my hands which is caused by damage to my lungs from other people's drug use or poisoning in the shelters. But it's funny because it's the "negative" of a "wishing be-er". See and then the "nature vs nurture" argument is then an analogy to which scientific paper can be used as a stupid way to fuck me up. Never mind that when I went to the ACLU when I was in trouble the people there were sick and were spending most of the time closing the office and fucking each other. But this is "funny" because it's "Peter complained about us shacking up when everyone was sick and not doing anything about everyone dying so we came up with a funny way to have him crippled which is based on rumor". And then I'll have a guy in a wheelchair called "quantum" follow me around the street playing songs about "avoiding judah and rummas". It's so fucking stupid and awful. Total coincidence though. Why can't people be corrupt in a way that doesn't involve having me crippled for asking for help? But see I'm not "in a club" so now "my fingers" are "clubbed". They're just evil fuckups. But see if you're not into the ACLU and whatever that happens to mean or you believe in "is it nature or is it nurture" because you're totally not into religion around crazy schizos then they'll fuck up your hands by scarring your lungs with bad drugs. Because they're evil and stupid and they like doing things that kill people that they can get away with that makes them feel good about being an asshole. Not - we're doing this to protect our livelihood. Not - we're doing this for money. It's just boredom and being an asshole. It's like the least excusable thing you could possibly use. I'm a violent asshole and I make everyone worse off that is merely around me for it's own sake even if they came here and want to work on interesting problems or work for a living while not hurting. I just hurt people to do it. It doesn't make any sense. What's the point? Because you're bored? Another note - I've come to despise the "little free libraries" because they seem to be used as an excuse as in "it's ok to be homeless and sick look there are books". I want healthcare and a job and not to be poisoned. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with people. It's like yes books are like one of my favorite things. I'd also like my fingers not be crooked because the people I'm forced to live with are psychotic and have fucked up my lungs.
