"The “profession” held its privileged “knowledge” inviolable and “unqualified” laymen were not allowed to question the “experts.” (Some things never change, eh?)"- You should always be able to question and be provided with an answer that is solid. Knowledge, discussions should be free flowing and information should be shared. It should be encouraged. Anything ridiculing, intimidating, belittling, oppressing, refusing such is obviously not coming from a good place.

Even when I was five, I kept asking question. If someone told me I was too young to understand, I told them, "If you are so smart, you can tell me in a way that even I can understand."

It turns out that's just about one of the (most likely fake) Einstein quotes. :)

The live global simulation realizes that its 'masters' are not worth the time of day.

Or it might realize who the real parasites are and is playing a gambit against them. :)

The one about the flea is much too close to home, and has that flavour of the sadistic (nazi) brute, which is common to many a Doctor's scientific r&d, and has been the norm for far too long; certainly not disallowing for the irrepressible and obvious arrogance of man, which finds its roots are equally long .

Imagine if.......On second thought, perhaps I'd better not feed Pandora's proteges!

It would be welcome if "we" humans could settle for pure, rather than applied science, and it would also be wonderfully expansive to our collective growth if we could be brought BACK to a simpler, saner "speed", as opposed to all this warp speed of the 21$T century, if I may be so emboldened to say.

Great reading!

I would amend myself to say, regarding growth, the kind of growth like a plant growing towards the sun, not the kind of growth like sepsis, or mold, or bacterial colonies.

I know-- I should quit daydreaming, and keep it in the land of reality;

I also "know" that the science is always being misapplied, or so I deem, as Lord and Master of my own wits, to discern, as it is always in the palm(s) of the Director(s) hands, whose agenda is obviously not a kind, beneficial one to any Alive and Living life forms (a shame to have to make that distinction...).

Entropy is not a very fun subject, any way one cuts it.

It is no fun to catch wind of how "we", here in America, are sliding out, again, all of the threats of nuclear supremacy, pumping up the ads for nuclear attack "preparations" (the bastards), and generally getting the world worked up into a bigger orgy of fear... it seems like a broken record, yet it is one I'd rather not be played at all...

Thank you for your appreciation.

For me, there is hardly anything more despicable than a "scientist" who claims to "know" things... I've seen such frauds too many times in the academia... A real scientist admits that he knows nothing, but is striving for more.

Sorry, science is only as good as its applicability, which shouldn't be a problem, were it not for all the pseudo-intelligent crap it forces on people... Also, once a branch establishes itself in production, it infiltrates government supervisory agencies and forms a monopoly that is next to impossible to dethrone, because it ends up in the globalist bankers' hands.

Even if there was a way to go back or, all of a sudden, humans would have to start over in the Stone Age, the end would always be the same. Power becomes concentrated and, eventually, the system devours itself. At the current global level, there is a good chance that there will be no survivors, at least no natural-born killers will preside over the ruins. The cyborg factory will probably stay operational for a bit longer...

"Necessity is the mother of all invention" (or something like that...) I've often wondered if the first ever wheel was 'square'... and it was only after some bright spark suggested perhaps 'knocking off those troublesome edges might fix the problem'. And that was when things really got rolling! :)

This is an important bit of British history, as it was also how the Brits invented "Rock'n Roll"

Expand full comment

No, John, it was the second wheel that was, and still is, square! :D

This also reminds me of an old English comedy, "Carry on, Cleo," in which the stone-age Briton invents the rectangular wheel! Everyone else is already using round wheels, so they ask him,

"Why is your wheel square?"

He says, "That way, it doesn't roll down, when you are pushing your cart downhill."

"And does it roll uphill?"

"It has not other choices left."

There was once a 300 kilometre cross country marathon challenge across the Simpson desert of Australia. Blistering hot, mid summer! The rules had it that each contestant was allowed one special item they thought best for their survival. Only three contestants entered! An American, an Australian and an Irishman. The American chose to bring a small battery powered fan. The Australian, a six pack of Beer. The Irishman turned up with a large car door strapped across his back. When asked why? He said..."When it gets too hot, I'll just wind the window down!"

Apologies to me Irish friends.. t'was just a wee joke! :)

For a while, EU money worked miracles there. For some mysterious reason, it didn't get all stolen as in many other countries with EU subsidies. :)

Anyway I have just today revised my opinion, Oh fickle me; these experts appear gullible to The Narrative, but actually, no, not unless they are dropping dead (and are they).

They know full well what's going on and are just playing along so the lower dumbos will take the apparent lead of the experts.

The expert class know not to get the *vaccines* and know that it's for their good if you do take a shot.

They know that the algorithms are relentless so they won't stick their necks out.

They are secure in thinking that they are the elite and get a place on Noah Hirari's ark.

Expand full comment

And that's where they are wrong. If they know all this, they must also know that their "knowledge" is useless, so they are fully dispensable. They will be duly discarded after they played their roles in full.

Too many varying variables even the computers can't predict.

It depends on how far the simulation must go. Zombifying people is already at an advanced stage and the new zombies are extremely predictable. :)

At what point does a person qualify (ie become an expert) zombie.

I'm not sure if I know any.

1. They tell you what's in their booklets and have no idea what they are talking about.

2. They keep trying until the day runs out and it still doesn't work, but they find a reason for blaming you! :)

I like *experts* in practical situations. *Experts* in ideas and theories, not so much.

Butcher, baker, candle stick maker; these experts are not of the smoke and mirrors sort.

Seems that the academics, lawyers, scientists, medicos - that sort of *expert* has been easily gulled by the plandemic and the quackzine.

Practical *experts* may be less gullible.

A good plumber is worth nine college professors, when the time comes. :)

One in 10 professors can be quite good!

Simple, but intelligent people (verbal intelligence not needed) were less inclined to fall for the "covid" psyop than college graduates.

On the other hand, most trades can be learned in a few weeks or less. A tradesman's "expertise" lies mostly in his tools. To become good at ANYTHING, on the other hand, does take years.

It's a pleasure to watch someone good at their job.

It's easy to recognise a practical expert.

Other than that people are fatally flawed to need to believe in magic - hence the smoke and mirrors experts.

Not a pleasure, when the plumber replaces a washer for $250. :) According to my neighbors, that's the going rate in rural KY!

Maybe it's the inflation on the actual washer.

When you say "washer", do you mean washing machine or the little rubber ring thing on an old style tap?

Trouble when someone attends a course and gets a piece of paper.(Edit: or gets some letters.)

If they now believe that they are an expert then as part of that self legitimising they consider others with pieces of paper to be experts too. It's a reciprocal thing - 'If I don't believe in an expert then people won't believe that I am an expert.'

Belonging to the expert class they can't have it crashing.

Expand full comment

A course for a piece of paper is usually for government jobs. I got one a good while ago for setting up distance learning. The good news is that I never got hired, because

1. the ladies kept together;

2. they thought that spending time on the primitive system would give me more "expertise" (well, it bored the hell out of me from the very beginning, but I wanted to get the certificate)

Expand full comment

You wanted the certificate to get the job, but you thought that you wanted the job but didn't really want the job.

"Ladies" thought that you would get smart doing the job and you are not to gain improvement.

Is that it.

Expand full comment

Come on, I have never fit in! :) Knew more before the course than the instructor. That will not make anyone popular.

Of course, you are right. I didn't want to fit in, either, but it never got as far as that; nobody asked me.

Were the "ladies" anti-men.

I have observed that self righteousness in *civil* servants.

Ha! And in a previously *gentlemen's* club the other day.

The female manager said that membership was now 50/50 and she was working on getting 60% women.

It was a fashion event and the female audience (but not me) cheered.

Infiltration till the thing is destroyed.

Working men's clubs same general idea.

Men might get a draughty shed with a fridge if they're lucky.

I can only describe the proceedings by conjecturing and my "definition" is a functional one within the technocrats' system.

Around 2007, when Skype started recording every interaction between users, large-scale (live?) data collecting must have started:

https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/mass-surveillence-does-not-exist

A graphene-based "super AI" (or more than one; these were 12k faster than "supercomputers" already in 2012) using quantum computing and constantly being fed live data is running a global simulation and based on how flawlessly the globalists' plan is making progress, it is a self-improving algorithm so that even its operators have no idea what it's doing, but the globalists are following its "recommendations." The recommendations have been apparently working. The operations conducted worldwide would be too much for human intelligence (or is that an oxymoron?).

This AI is already light-years ahead of any potential human thought, because it "knows" how "the world works."

It can turn on its operators and even employ a gambit, should it "decide" that humanity is the pest on the Planet. :)

Personally, I think, the operation is being delayed, because the "operators" don't understand the next steps. Also, competing globalist factions (Russians, Chinese, US etc.) are also running their simulations, because eventually, they will want to eliminate the "competition" that is, for the time being, their "allies."

I've been told that before; even bought a copy of the movie, but I didn't care for it, probably because I already knew what it was trying to get across.
