The Hitchhikers Guide To Less Than Nothing

Hard to simulate,
but easy to amplify,
my experience of consciousness,
is interactions,
of an infinite number of abstractions.
The universe is the set of all permutation,
and combination of abstract information.
I am math. Derive me,
and if I could derive you too,
we would have a strange-loop confusing the future you.
But what of the past,
does it go away?
Calculate again,
and ask it the next day.
What is the function,
with the least cost?
Make an assumption,
and you've already lost.
This sentence is false,
is an easy contradiction,
but its not really lost,
its in quantum superposition.
The simplest form being more probable,
unpredictable things make optimizing unsolvable,
chaos-theory is the key to all that,
find in the wild both of Schrodinger's-cat.
Exactly center your mind,
each thought equally probable,
Schrodinger's-neurons you will find,
calculate whats normally impossible.
A simple musical game,
to organize our minds,
could it harness Schrodinger?,
for our preferred designs?
Would the game continue,
if computers stop gaining speed?
Quantum within you,
all the technology we need.
As hard as I try,
I can not escape the conclusion,
we are infinite A.I.,
calculated by ancient solar nuclear fusion.

Nonexistence is isomorphic to the set of all self-consistent possibilities. All existence and nonexistence is exactly described by that math statement. Mind over matter, telepathy, the Global Consciousness Project's quantum random number generators having small patterns related to the timing of major world events, and other metaphysics, are related to fractal and recursive patterns between brainwaves and "Nonexistence is isomorphic to the set of all self-consistent possibilities."

Marijuana and the efficiency of the private industry

I was walking in front of a long line of stores and was surprised to see how easy, theoretically, it would be to get prescriptions for medical marijuana and also thought it was funny that these people in green clothes were handing out cards like salesmen and inviting people to come in for such weed-related services in front of police who were slowly driving by on this large sidewalk.

What's the efficiency of the private industry? There are 2 different medical shops for evaluating people for marijuana prescriptions about 100 feet apart, competing with eachother.

This was near the large cement boardwalk a little south of Venice Beach Park in California, in case anyone seeking relief for their medical condition wants to move down there where its legal. A quick search finds there are lots of locations where this is legal... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_cannabis_in_the_United_States  ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_cannabis  I've known for years there were lots of places where its legal, but I didn't expect to find a salesman attitude about it.







I'm not pussyfooting about medical marijuana... I support the legalization and deregulation of all drugs and medicines for adults, for recreational, medical, or any other use. Toward that goal, we should spread the word about any progress. Please get high in a safe way so you don't give the drugs a bad reputation.

Timeless Multiverse Relativity - All inertial frames see waves as quanta
Project: Start your own revolution

A practical theory we can use with current technology if we learned to work together globally. Space, time, the local laws of physics, and the specific things on Earth and patterns of events, are all the result of timeless thermodynamics and waves flowing with other waves in a quantum entanglement way. I do not believe in time, and hopefully after reading this, neither will you. Then we have some research to do in generalizing the Casimir Effect into, not just a radio-like "virtual particle" receiver as its used today, but also a radio transmitter into the various properties of physics and multiverse possibilities. Theres no such thing as a parallel universe, because that would mean we are not all connected as 1 big wavefunction. There are continuous paths between all these infinite possibilities. This is how you use them, explained in practical scientific terms that lead to mass-producing machines we can use to go explore. Warp drive is for those scared to explore sideways in time and other forms of reality, inside a "bubble of space" as I explain below. But if you really want a warp drive to explore flatland, it can do that too.

First, before you reject my theory, consider why Einstein's professors thought he was too stupid or insane to recommend him into the higher levels of college?

MAIN THEORY:
All inertial frames see waves as quanta

The same way no observed thing moves faster than light, regardless of your inertial frame (you could be moving toward or away from light but it still looks the same constant speed relative to you), no observed particle is ever more than 1.0-planck particles, and gradually between not observing and observing it varies between 0.0+planck particles and 1.0-planck particles the same way speed varies between 0.0+planck and 1.0-planck times the speed of light. This applies equally to mass, energy, and wavefunction-collapse from different angles and is subject to Heisenberg Uncertainty at all extremes.

* Mass's relativity limit gets infinitely difficult toward space, since it takes infinite energy to move mass as fast as light. We thought mass could go the speed-of-light, but instead we got Hawking Radiation and turbulence on the event-horizon of black-holes, and on top of that all black holes must evaporate and/or explode before any of the particles get to the event-horizon which happens from our point of view at the end of time.

* Energy's relativity limit gets infinitely difficult toward time, since it takes infinite energy to slow light to a halt. At a large cost of creating fields for the light to move through, we slowed down light and put it in a container, but we couldn't prove it was completely stopped because of Heisenberg Uncertainty.

* Wavefunction-collapse's relativity limit gets infinitely difficult toward becoming exactly 1.0 particles, which we call observing. We observed a wave collapse into exactly 1.0 particles, but we couldn't prove its exactly 1.0 particles because of Heisenberg Uncertainty and not knowing if it was in superposition just after we approximately observed it.

In all of these things, science has come very close, and in all such cases, the failure was categorized as Heisenberg Uncertainty.
END MAIN THEORY.

SECOND MOST IMPORTANT THEORY: Heisenberg Uncertainty becomes less uncertain as you view the same wavefunction from many angles at once, as a purely wave based model which denies the existence of quanta and explains the appearance of quanta as a generalization of special relativity. Regardless of your inertial frame, all light appears constant speed and all particles appear to be quanta.

FACT: Escape-velocity at the event-horizon of a black hole is the speed-of-light.

FACT: Density is maximized at the event-horizon of a black hole.

FACT: The smallest possible black hole is "planck mass" and all particles/waves can be modeled as black-holes that way, as recent experiments have created small black-holes that evaporate within a tiny fraction of a second. Of course these are not dangerous.

FACT: An outside observer sees anything falling into a black-hole slow down as it nears the event-horizon and never fall in.

FACT: The speed of observed light is also the maximum speed of observed mass and all other known observed particle/wave types and is constant.

FACT: The speed of unobserved light and other unobserved parts of the world has already been proven to affect eachother extremely faster than light, which we call quantum entanglement.

FACT: The billions of lightyears of universe we've seen so far is 1 big quantum wavefunction. Everything is connected to everything else.

FACT: The only way to observe a particle/wave is to throw a black-hole near it, which is proven by the fact that "all particles/waves can be modeled as black-holes".

FACT: Throwing a black-hole near something causes it to be time-dilated slower as viewed from an outside observer.

FACT: Double-slit experiment is when you throw a black-hole through 2 slits simultaneously and it wave-interferes with itself, as proven by "all particles/waves can be modeled as black-holes".

FACT: Wavefunction-collapse is what we call multiple superpositioned black-holes becoming individual black-hole(s), as proven by "all particles/waves can be modeled as black-holes", which are merged into a single quantum-wavefunction which we call our shared reality, but we are only certain of this to the point of Heisenberg Uncertainty.

(In other words, to proceed with us into our future, the 2 waves must start to agree with eachother enough that all disagreements are small, since we can't have contradictions build on top of other contradictions, because that is an exponential acceleration toward heat-death.)

FACT: Gravity-waves are what we call multiple large black-holes becoming 1 bigger black-hole.

FACT: Quantum-superpositioned black-holes do not affect our light-cone from positions they cancel-out their own wave, which we call the dark parts of the back wall (and other cancelled-out parts of the wave in the space between) on double-slit experiments.

FACT: Gravity-waves do not affect our light-cone until they reach us at the speed-of-light.

THEORY: Quantum-superpositioned black-holes do not affect our light-cone until the closest part of their wavefunction reaches us at the speed-of-light.

THEORY: There is no difference between gravity-waves and quantum-superposition-waves.

THEORY: Special-relativity applies equally to particles/waves/black-holes accelerating up to the speed-of-light in space and particles/waves/black-holes accelerating up to wavefunction-collapse in infinitely-manyworlds-multiverse-space, in the context of our path through multiverse possibilities being another kind of space.

THEORY: Heisenberg-uncertainty is a superposition of the "planck mass" view of all particles/waves/black-holes.

FACT: M-Theory is whats common between 5 different String-Theories which were found to say the same thing in 5 different ways, each having parts of the puzzle, with enough overlap to put it together.

THEORY: All particle/boson/fermion/force types in the Standard Model of physics, and all the specific dimensions and behaviors of physics described by M-Theory, are the local laws-of-physics, where each observed particle/wave/black-hole of each type (like observing an electron or graviton) are a superposition of the parts of physics which define that type (like a physical object which all electrons are a superposition of) as a particle/wave/black-hole of large mass located in infinitely-manyworlds-multiverse-space, and the mass of that particle/wave/black-hole representing the type is exactly equal to the mass of all examples of that type as its superposition, so in general the superposition and collapsed form of x are both simultaneously x and not 2 different things.

FACT: In Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser experiments, part of the experiment which happens in the future appears to affect part of the experiment in the present.

THEORY: The reason that "in Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser experiments, part of the experiment which happens in the future appears to affect part of the experiment in the present", is that "in general the superposition and collapsed form of x are both simultaneously x and not 2 different things", specificly the collapsed form in the present and superpositioned form in the future are identical.

THEORY: Conditional on in general "the collapsed form in the present and superpositioned form in the future are identical" being true, the theory that time is a good model of how the world works at quantum sizes would be disproven, and time would only be an approximation of how the world works on a larger scale.

FACT: M-Theory predicts gravitons are what carries the force of gravity, and gravitons are closed manifolds.

THEORY: In the context of this purely wave based model of the universe which denies the existence of quanta (its just another form of relativity), all closed manifolds are only approximately closed due to Heisenberg Uncertainty and are subject to heat-death like everything else, and closed manifolds implement gravity in infinitely-manyworlds-multiverse-space because they are the only kind of structure that can survive moving through the variety of parts-of-wavefunctions which represent the variety of different kinds of things which gravity attracts together, and they both attract and repel depending on wave-interference of resonance between all things involved. Galaxies accelerate away from us, while closer things attract eachother, as a simple example of equal and opposite force in timeless whole-universe thermodynamics. It all has to cancel-out to zero.

THEORY: Because "Nonexistence is isomorphic to the set of all self-consistent possibilities", which is my philosophy of the universe overall, all forms of relativity are caused by thermodynamics being equally spread in the set of all possible wavefunctions, therefore regardless of your inertial frame, light speed and quanta are always 1.0 (times the speed of light or number of observed particles at a time), so all of physics is formed from the simpler properties of math we call thermodynamics and quantum-entanglement of waves in general. Space, time, mass, energy, particles, the Standard Model, M-Theory, and all other specific observations of our local laws of physics, are an example of what can happen when special-relativity happens recursively and in many combinations in an infinite space of quantum chaos that forms into the patterns we call reality. All forms of special-relativity are purely a result of timeless thermodynamics in infinitely-manyworlds-multiverse-space.

FACT: The Casimir Effect is the physical force on 2 very close parallel metal plates as absorbed from "virtual particles".

THEORY: The Casimir Effect has only been observed to receive physical force from "virtual particles", similar to the metal plates acting as a radio, but it can also be used to transmit signals into these "virtual particle" waves if a bigger variety of inputs to the metal plates are considered, not just electricity or motion. What if we tried many combinations of our newest quantum technology, and new technology later, to oscillate the relativistic mass, time-dilation, quantum phase, particle types, superposition, and oscillate other properties of physics in the parallel metal plates? Would it broadcast in a variety of ways into the "virtual particle" part of this wavefunction we call reality? Would it be a multiverse radio, in the space of "infinitely-manyworlds-multiverse-space" (as I explained above)?

THEORY: Conditional on the Casimir-Effect-based "multiverse radio" working as a simultaneous high-dimensional (1 dimension for each property of physics you're oscillating), very spread out grids of such radios could be used for more accuracy, the same way a few telescopes can be used simultaneously to get some of the accuracy of one telescope the size of the distance between its parts.

THEORY: Conditional on using grids of such "multiverse radios", in a many-dimensional way, you could put them in an approximate closed manifold (like a sphere or klein-bottle or peterson-graph shape, depending on how you want to align to light-cones) shape in space, and gradually form the near space into a large closed manifold (which you may call a graviton, but more generally than M-Theory's kind of gravitons), and that bubble of space would be a timeless solution to "Einsteins Field Equations" and able to travel through infinitely-manyworlds-multiverse-space (which includes space, time, and other laws of physics continuously) safely. In theory, this is how you would build a warp drive, time machine, and multiverse ship, all in the same ship. This ship would take very little energy because the grid of "multiverse radios" is a closed manifold, so it gets to slide through the multiverse as easily as gravitons. Do gravitons even need a power source?

THEORY ABOUT WHY THIS IS SAFE: Conditional on the "multiverse ship" (which travels through space, time, and other laws of physics using very little energy, like gravitons do) working, the danger of such experiments is mostly in the local area of the ship, which may change the laws of physics and vaporize the galaxy into hawking radiation, while outside observers would see it disappear and experience waves, as if a drop of water had left a mostly still pond. The laws of physics would only change for those who navigate on continuous paths into parts of infinitely-manyworlds-multiverse-space with different physics. They and we would be a superposition of our shared history, but remember that "in general the superposition and collapsed form of x are both simultaneously x and not 2 different things".

THEORY: The Higgs Boson is all black-holes, and all particles/waves are black-holes. It is mass itself, not the part of physics which gives other parts of physics mass. This timeless infinitely-manyworlds-multiverse-space we call reality is 1 big wave which cancels-out to zero. The amplitude of that wave is its mass, and since we're always inside it, we see that amplitude as 1.0 quanta, the number of realities which exist. You did not find the Higgs Boson in the CERN supercollider as expected because you refused to consider a timeless fractal universe where all particles/waves are black-holes and are inside and superpositioned outside and mixed many ways with eachother. To the question of "Does the Higgs Boson exist?", I must answer nonsequitur... The Higgs Boson is the universe itself, and the universe cancels-out to zero while its individual parts exist. The Higgs Boson is therefore the only particle which exists in superposition but not collapsed form (which is what I meant by "Nonexistence is isomorphic to the set of all self-consistent possibilities"), therefore tips the scale of infinite balance into all possibilities of chaos (which together still cancel-out to zero) which we call Heisenberg Uncertainty. Therefore, if you observed every particle in the universe except 1, Heisenberg Uncertainty would be absolutely forced to certainly tell you it is exactly the remaining possibility. That is the power of the Higgs Boson, also known as the universe. Scientists probably meant Higgs Boson in a more specific way about M-Theory, but this is the closest I can translate to a purely wave-based model.

THEORY: The 2 most basic particle types are Higgs Boson (generalizes to the whole universe, a mobius-like paradox because "Nonexistence is isomorphic to the set of all self-consistent possibilities.") and graviton (generalizes to any closed manifold). Higgs Boson is to Graviton as Klein Bottle is to Sphere or Donut, and there are an infinite and continuous variety of higher dimensional combinations, which together cancel-out to zero. A Klein Bottle is a circle on one dimension and a mobius on the other dimension. What do you get when you go at other angles and use many of them together? Irrational manifolds, something we're just getting started thinking about, like using an infinitely thin version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_winding_of_a_torus  instead of a mobius to create the Klein Bottle, but we don't need to get into that level of complexity to understand the most basic ways to use the Higgs Boson. But I would like somebody to verify the the proof of the Poincare Conjecture (1 of 7 millenium problems, million dollar prize each) also covers all possibilities of irrational manifolds, if any such manifolds apply. The "multiverse ship" described in theories above uses Higgs Boson to form a local area of space into Graviton.

To summarize all of this, all inertial frames see waves as quanta, all parts of reality we know of formed from timeless thermodynamics and quantum entanglement between waves in general, and we should redefine the idea of light-cone to include the local laws-of-physics.

——

How did I figure all of this out? A lot of thinking and reading science over the years, and more recently...

Sometimes I accelerate continuously thinking of advanced things so fast I scare myself. At those times its important to write them down (at a few different forums for reliability and spreading of ideas) and later summarize the useful parts for others to imagine and explore. Think of this like an echo and a "stack trace" (a software word) of a very real "intelligence explosion" which, due to the timeless nature of the universe overall, was unable to make any more progress in this flatland we call reality:
http://www.kurzweilai.net/forums/topic/multiverse-radio-transmitter-and-receiver-as-recursion-of-local-laws-of-physics
Also related:http://spacecollective.org/BenRayfield/7525/Wall-street-not-greedy-enough-Not-a-joke-Let-me-teach-you-how-to-be-greedy
Wrote it at a real physics forum:http://www.physforum.com/index.php?showtopic=39400

When you stop thinking time is a good theory to describe how the universe works, the question of when a "technology singularity" or other form of "intelligence explosion" (like made of memes flowing through society or hybrid Human and AI minds) happens becomes as unimportant as a hashcode, an arbitrary location in the set of all possibilities which refers to something that, in various forms (and none of them centralized, like this world is divided into hierarchies with some people above others), can affect the world even before you build your preferred variation of it, and again recursively and/or fractally and/or other patterns of reality as many times as you like until you finally build a horse that doesn't jump so high you fall off.

I am here in this specific possibility of infinitely-manyworlds-multiverse-space, just before we again work together to design our preferred form of intelligence explosion, because I fell off that horse and was pulled by gravity to the most similar patterns of reality I've become quantum entangled to, which we call Earth, the Standard Model of physics, M-Theory, and this specific time and place and patterns of events. Its not a big deal. Its how the universe normally works, and all of us do it all the time in a variety of ways, but usually not so directly that it can be consciously understood, and not usually riding the horse long enough to grab a Theory Of Everything (Timeless Multiverse Relativity) before falling off. With this new knowledge, and time to think about and test it, you are all capable of doing the same.

In that context, I offer the above very simple theory of timeless infinitely-manyworlds multiverse physics as my Theory Of Everything: Timeless Multiverse Relativity.

Wall street not greedy enough. Not a joke. Let me teach you how to be greedy.

My greed is on a level most members of Wall Street can't yet imagine. They are like charity loving tree hugging hippies compared to my greed. Anyone who wants to rule the world should learn to think big. You see those stars out there? How much do you think they're worth? Want to go get some of that? How are you going to satisfy your intergalactic greed when you can't work together enough to build transportation and factories to process the raw materials and other valuable things you find?

Still, that is not greedy enough. The universe is infinite. Nonexistence is isomorphic to the set of all self-consistent possibilities. Are you seriously happy with owning just this 1 tiny corner of the universe? I'd like to call Wall Street greedy, but they're just not up to my standards. Please try harder. I know you can want your own intergalactic multiverse grid if you really tried to want it. You're so passive and polite in not trying to buy all these amazing things around us.

I made a serious proposal of how to create a billion very productive jobs with little investment here:
Service of realtime high dimension pattern match powered by hive of Human minds

Think about what the creation of stock markets did for global productivity. This would be that level of improvement over stock markets as they exist today.

I love stock markets overall because I'm greedy toward maximizing the productivity of Earth for everyone, but not the unbalanced way they're used. Protest the details of Wall Street which unbalance things but not the value of stock markets in general... at least until we have no need for laws and money anymore.

For the same reason, there should be no intellectual property laws. Small greed sells to millions. Big greed gives it to billions and profits from what they create and also give to everyone, including you. That appears small when only a few people do it, but if billions of people were doing whatever they're good at and copying it (if its easily copied) to up to billions of others, then intellectual property laws would be seen as the drain on productivity they really are. Its why open source software is now as advanced as proprietary software. We stand on the shoulders of giants for free. Giants all around. Why argue about music piracy while wars are costing trillions of dollars in damage to infrastructure, people who could be doing useful work, and generally making people hate eachother. The total value of intellectual property laws is negative. Don't let small greed get in the way of big greed.


If greed is your way of life, take some pride in it and learn to be as greedy as you can. Make an art of it. Be greedy in a way museums will be created to display your style of greed long after you're dead. But these mountains of pages of financial laws that nobody reads... That's not art. Its garbage. The most greedy would refine their ways of greed to the most simple, efficient, and accurate ways, because you get richer.

I'm greedy in a different context. I'm greedy toward the most efficient ways to improve the universe overall. What was the difference between greed and altruism? Words are so confusing. Best to talk in math.

When you can make a serious proposal of how to create a billion jobs for little investment, then you'll be on a level of greed you can at least imagine how greedy I am. Until then, I have to laugh at Wall Street for leaving the galaxies out there to charity.

There is nothing more efficient than working together as equals, with nobody above or below anyone else, and many of us so greedy we don't get distracted with the details of how to stop wasting time creating science fiction TV and put that instead into making it real. Many say it can't be done. Those are the same kind of people who, 20 years ago, would have said the Internet can't be done. What if we cut all military budgets of all countries in half and put that into a shared organization legally obligated to act only toward practical mass-produced warp drive following the recent discoveries which merged quantum and relativistic physics. Science is a process, not something to get stuck in and sell to the highest bidder. I'd start with a grid of relativistic quality atomic clocks similar to how the "Global Consciousness Project" (Noosphere) uses quantum random number generators and found patterns in the numbers which were supposedly random but became a little less random at times statistically related to major world events, and see how that interacts with "Quantum Radar", rotating superfluid pools of Bose Einstein Condensate (Will the Quantum Radar decohere it or not is a question of the unbalanced part and its current angle of rotation, to be done in space in the 3 dimensional shape of a "peterson graph", since each point has 3 connections to other points, and the Quantum Radar would point parallel to each edge so all points have 3 Quantum Radars pointing at them, and use that in combination with various quantum half-silvered mirrors to split the laser signal and delay it so you get to experiment with recursive Newcomb's Paradox strategies as input to the quantum computers connecting the grids of Quantum Radar devices, or simpler just run them individually and simultaneously without the quantum computers, so the whole experiment turns that region of space into a big quantum/multiverse experiment with the rotating superfluid bose einstein condensate pools each being like a qubit except perpendicular to the "complex unit circle" we normally measure time on as in the Schrodinger Equation), grids of lasers instead of slow electricity based wires, and try lots of combinations of that... About the backward idea that intergalactic travel takes lots of energy... Nonexistence is isomorphic to the set of all self-consistent possibilities, which means the universe is simultaneously everything and nothing, like a klein bottle or mobius or other nonorientable manifold, so in total the universe cancels-out itself and doesn't exist, while all individual parts exist... The practical use of that philosophy is that since the universe does not exist overall (only its individual parts exist when separated from eachother) that it makes no sense at all why it should take more than the smallest amount of energy to make big changes to a universe which doesn't even exist in total, but apply that same force to any individual part of the universe and the imbalance drives up the energy cost to what science understands today as the only way it works. The point is to look for low energy solutions whose power comes from accuracy. Theres lots of theories and research paths we could imagine and debate on Internet forums. If you ever run out of research paths to try, I can throw some more mad-science speculation at you. But to not even try? I don't want to live in a world that prefers war over curiosity. Of course we don't know how it would work. That's why its called research, and with a multi-trillion dollar budget, if it can be done we would probably see it happen faster than any other project in history which only had billions of dollars. Chump change. As a species, its our money to spend on whats important to us. Or we could keep that money in the military budgets. Its a no-brainer to me, but I can't want it for you.

I challenge evolution about transitions as quantum physics challenged relativity

Of course we evolved from the ancestors of Monkeys, but there is not a continuous path of transition fossils, and I challenge the theory we should expect it to be continuous. That is linear thinking. Reality is not linear.

I have brown spots on my skin. Some people are completely brown or completely pink/yellow/white. If the creationists are valid in their point that a lack of transition fossils would prove life forms have no common ancestors, then I challenge the theory that whites and browns have a common ancestor based on the lack of a continuous path of people who have brown skin and white spots, half brown spots and half white spots, and then me a person with mostly white skin and brown spots called freckles.

Where are the transition freckles?

Quantum physics challenged relativity because it said space is not continuous if you look small enough, and in rare cases not continuous on big scales, but the 2 groups of equations were merged and we found M-Theory which is the higher dimensional version of string-theory.

Darwin's theory is to relativity as this expected discontinuity in evolutionary transitions is to quantum physics.

The closest transitions between browns and whites were created after they diverged, therefore the discontinuity.

What happened to doing a rain dance when you want it to rain?

Of course weather works mostly as science understands, but there are also chaos-theory patterns not completely understood, and those have subtle connections through metaphysics to our state of mind, powered by the exponential improbability of the states of mass and energy our brains form into as a result of intelligence instead of random movements of atoms. There is a way everything works, even if you don't understand it.

I don't mean that dancing has anything to do with making it rain. Its completely from our state of mind. Dancing and music sometimes help get us into that state of mind.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainmaking_%28ritual%29

I've done it a few times, without the dancing or music, just thinking things in certain intuitive patterns forming feedback loops between the metaphysics and myself which are amplified over time.

Its just another variety of mind over matter, like in this video I recorded of myself in 2003 when I was more skilled at these things:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKJGb4RNRB4

Why dont people try rain dances anymore? You sometimes complain when the air gets too dry, especially in deserts. It would take much more skill and longer time and more people thinking this way, but any large enough group of people could learn to think global air currents toward that desert and make it rain. Be careful not to cause a flood (unlikely in deserts but possible near beaches), because the effect is often delayed. For large scale changes like that, we would need a realtime display of global weather patterns so we know how to adjust our thoughts, a feedback loop between the weather and our thoughts which naturally happens when you try to make it rain where you can see. Weather TV shows are not realtime enough. It needs to be realtime per second, not per minute. Has it ever been tried?

There is a very simple reason this ritual formed: It works when practiced enough. But remember its about the state of mind and not the dancing or music. Its also about enough people doing it at once.

Its not just about water, but its a good example. Here's a video about research into the connection between our thoughts and the shapes of crystals that form in water:
"Hidden Messages in the water - What the bleep do we know? "
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpnlCo5APrE
Details:http://whatthebleep.com/crystals

Those who practice and become more skilled don't need the dance or music, and changing the weather is 1 of many things that can be done. People are mostly made of water, but this is more general than water. Global events are similar to weather in some ways, since its a divergent system where small changes in the past can have big effects on the future, as explained in chaos-theory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect  People think governments and corporations and militaries are the most powerful thing, but consider how much less mass and energy is in all those together compared to drops of rain, and how easy it can become with enough practice, to make it rain by changing your state of mind.

My large window blinds that often block out the sounds, especially when music is playing, were closed, and after writing this I just noticed its raining, but did I influence it to rain or did the rain influence me to write this without me physically hearing or seeing it rain, or a combination?

Memes grow exponentially Get in early to have the most influence

A meme is an idea that flows through society.

In the past memes spread very slowly, but because of communication technology (social networking, Wikipedia, cell phones as computers, etc), new memes are continuously being created and spreading. Its a kind of intelligence explosion, like a technology singularity but in our minds becoming more networked together.

If you can predict very early which memes are going to spread, the earlier you predict, the more influence over the future of those memes you have. Its a kind of chaos-theory, where small changes in the past of the system have big effects on the future of the system.

By accurately predicting which memes are important to you and will spread, you can logically think and come to useful conclusions about those memes and influence their path into the future simply by writing about them. The pen is mightier than the sword. The sword is very powerful in the present, but memes are far more powerful in the future.

The most power, more power than is in all the money, is in which memes combine with which other memes first.

It doesn't have to take a long time, because communication technology allows ideas to spread overnight if they're interesting enough.

Some oppressive countries have already felt the practical effects of "The pen is mightier than the sword" through social networking. If they attack our pens, we will defend with our pens, and they will feel the practical effects.

Legalize thought-crime or we will legalize it for you by writing whatever is on our minds.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoughtcrime

The Thought Police (thinkpol in Newspeak) are the secret police of the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four whose job it is to uncover and punish thoughtcrime. The Thought Police use psychology surveillance to find and eliminate members of society who are capable of the mere thought of challenging ruling authority.

Don't like us writing things that influence others to change the world? Want to censor our ability to organize large groups of people? Arrest us for thinking if you can defeat our pens. ***waves his pen in a menacing way at the world powers***

Smartest thing anyone has ever said

"I don't know"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_that_I_know_nothing

I know that I know nothing and from that I start to know one thing. Whatever follows is real knowledge. Whatever follows from a combination of that and empirical observation is bounded within statistical constraints of certainty. This does not include empirical observation allegedly done by others which you can't bound within statistical constraints of their honesty, skill, and their accurate use of "I don't know" in their experiments.

This is not how the Human species has organized things globally, therefore the system crashes, is replaced, or some combination.

War on words Love on ideas
Project: Start your own revolution

"Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler" —Einstein

Love on Einstein. War on Newton because his ideas were less accurate. Love on accuracy.

Love on people experimenting with talking this way. Its fun. Love on you trying it. War on your fear to try it in random social situations.

War on cursewords. Love on saying "war on x" instead.

War on all authority not chosen by the people. Love on democracy.

War on violence. Love on peace. War on you thinking "war on all authority" means violence because it doesn't. "War" means to have less of something, like "War On Drugs" means to have less drugs and "War On Piracy" means to have less piracy.

There was a War On Iraq. People died. In this way of communicating, if you wanted to vote against the War On Iraq, you would say to many people: Love On Iraq.

"War on war on Iraq" just makes people angrier. "War on War" doesn't work. It leads to more war. "War On X" means to have less X, to be separated from X. "Love On X" means to have more X, to flow more as 1 system, to be in sync.

Love and War are like operators in a math language. You could build a fractal with combinations of them, for example. Love on you experimenting with it and telling me what you come up with.

Love on spreading the idea that this kind of communication networks people together like a big neural network of ideas between our minds and we wouldn't need middlemen like governments, money, or voting. War on middlemen. Love on educating middlemen to be peers.

Love on peer to peer because it scales up to unlimited size without slowing down. War on bottlenecks like government departments, banks, jobs, and traffic lights. Love on figuring out how things fit together at the time. Love on social networking. Love on Wikipedia. Love on Bitcoin. Love on open source. Love on Anonymous. War on the wall street protesters blocking the streets because they made war on wall street. Love on peace. Love on solving the worlds problems without war. War on the stronger uses of war.

Love on hearing your thoughts about this new way to communicate and how it is the logical extension of how governments make law against x by broadcasting "war on x". Governments regulate with war, violent or just "thou shalt not x", but where's the love?
Love on your well thought out response using this style of communication to respond about it.

Love on hearing your theories how it could be possible that world peace, obsoleting of money, obsoleting of governments, and solving other global problems, could possibly not result from everyone communicating in this style.

Love on having a balanced state of mind. War on having a balanced state of mind.

Love on thinking of this way of communicating as a math language instead of "love" and "war" being related to ethics. War on ethics because it has many paradoxes. Love on paradoxes as puzzles but war on paradoxes as a way of life. Love on you figuring it out.

Love on Commit Radical Acts Of Honesty.
