The meaning of pain is one which many people often delegate to existentialism, and that disgraces those who suffer from it. Existentialism is, in itself, a method of blaming the victim, regardless of how it is used, either the victim is the reason for their suffering or they are wrong to ask for it to stop.
So what is the meaning of pain? You must first understand what pain actually is, and medical doctors need to learn this most of all. Pain is the body telling the brain that something is damaged, it's as simple as that.
The phantom limb syndrome is not even remotely the same thing, phantom limbs are the brain noticing the absence of stimulation for neurons it once depended on for information. If the brain does not like a certain input, it will not notice the absence.
This is why doctors claiming my request for amputation of an organ that my brain (me) clearly has no desire to keep could result in phantom limb sensations, they're clearly insane or unworthy of their medical degree. The fact of the matter is that my brain has already rejected the input, and all nerve results are seen by the brain as incessant nagging, which manifests as severe pain.
Yes, like many aspects if nerve messaging, the brain's own opinion of that organ has a huge affect on how those messages are perceived by the intelligence contained in the neurons. To oppose my assertions here requires actual scientific understanding of neurology, biochemistry, and psychology, very few doctors are qualified or capable of knowing what is stated in this blog, and yet you pay them a fortune under the assumption that they know.
Psychiatrists will never agree on the position on this because psychiatry is not science, yet you all assume psychiatrists are correct and allow them the power to destroy people. According to psychiatry, talking to your imaginary friend is sane, as long as you assert that it created the universe and deny all evidence to the contrary.
According to doctors, you can't find facts online, even after they just used Google to diagnose your illness. The hypocrisy of medicine is now coming to light, and I suffer because of that hypocrisy, and tax payers pay a fortune to the doctors on my behalf for that same reason.

Christianity: Perpetual Persecution Complex
The notion of persecution is often perverted by the persecutors, religions demonstrate this all too well. Most contain commands to deny and even kill anything that opposes the claims made by their leaders, this gives the persecutors (religious followers) the feeling of being persecuted by the ones who stand up to their persecution.
Religious leaders depend on this perpetual persecution complex, the followers must believe they are always the victims even if they are the vast majority. One result of this complex is what we see in Indiana, a step to establishing a theocracy by encouraging the followers to discriminate and convince them that anyone opposed to this is persecuting them in the same thought.
The perpetual persecution complex of the christians has been responsible for untold horrors and the production of some of our greatest threats to peace and prosperity. However showing the follower what their beliefs have perpetuated will only trigger cognitive dissonance, which fuels theSo persecution complex.
This is why we must work to prevent the indoctrination before it can establish this perpetual false victimhood in their minds, often something as simple as teaching critical thinking will inevitably result in too many unanswered questions from the leaders. The inability to answer questions with anything resembling sanity or fact is their weakness, all religions.
So get their leaders and parents talking, let them show their kids just how stupid religion has made them, let their kids see how insane their beliefs truly are. The christian rulers don't want them reading the bible, so post actual excerpts from that book regularly, it is the greatest too against itself, just focus on the crap they like to ignore.

Sexuality of all Types is Genetic
There are many short, simple, marketable catch phrases for this topic. All of those are all wrong though.
As catchy as they sound, and they can be helpful, they don't address the real problem here, science denial. Christians have a long history of denying facts that don't support, or worst oppose, their idiotic mythology.
Most religions do, but Christians are the ones who claim not to do it while living in my country. The facts are basic, all things affecting reproduction are the result of chemicals produced by genes.
That's it, undeniable and observable, tested millions of times with the exact same results, altering the chemicals present in the body changes what you are attracted to, if anything. Us asexual humans were the ones who really unlocked this for genetics, our very existence was denied by the science deniers for a long time.
Oddly, psychiatrists didn't accept we could exist until psychologists began analyzing us. But the very fact that we have a moderate chemical level, often appearing naturally androgynous as a side effect, and that we cannot be drawn into any sexual activity when engaged with anything even remotely interesting to us is demonstrable and undeniable proof that chemicals control attractions.
For example, video games are useful for this demonstration because some people prefer them over sexual activity. The fact that sexual contact will illicit no positive reaction while playing video in some who are not asexual, demonstrates that it is indeed a chemical response, so us asexuals are the result of chemicals that are the result of chemical interactions with the DNA, it's genetic.
Now that also means the same holds true for all sexuality, it's chemical, and therefore it's genetic. Since most sexuality is harmless it is not something we should control, if it involves only adults of the same species and no harm, then enjoy it, it's who you are.

Don't Go Vegan, Go Synthetic
Vegan and vegetarian are a noble way to live, sadly my body cannot handle that much fiber. But I am against cruelty, and I can't stand the facf that because of a medical issue, I have to endorse an industry that I oppose.
This is not a single entity problem, many factors are involved in why we don't have manufactured, imitation, meats and bugs available. One is simply oppression of science by the farming industries by using tactics like fear against modern GMO and fear against synthetic chemicals.
But the subversive influence is from religion and the sense of entitlement and superiority religion gives us. This is something most humans are unwilling to discard, even when they shed the delusion of a god.
Almost a year ago they finally announced that we will be able to print meat, by assembling cells using machines. A few of us got really excited about no longer having to kill other animals for food, but the majority treated this as if it was the beginning of some bad apocalypse story.
Printed food means no more killing, no more danger, healthier humans, and better lives for everyone. It also means the end of farming, hunting, and other organic industries.
Modern GMO producers are happy about going out of business for this, feeding everyone without the risk is their goal. Those who oppose manufactured, synthetic, imitation products because they could no longer justify killing are all companies that claim that all natural and "organic" is safer, healthier, and better without presenting any evidence of this.
If synthetic means no longer destroying the only world we have for food, then nothing is healthier.

Unchanging Gods Are Impossible
Lately I have been noticing irony more than ever, like my blog post about popularity being bad is unpopular, and the irony of how religion purports that unchanging is a good thing while changing to suit the whims of it's leaders.
This idea of unchanging, something that is never improved, being some sort of quality of perfection is so blatantly wrong it makes me wonder if any humans are worth keeping around when I hear religious people say "I have this book that has not changed for hundreds of years." Physics experts will confirm that everything is in a constant state of change in the universe, even the laws we created to describe it.
I can just picture many morons still trying to say that any perfect being must be unchanging, which is literally impossible. The simple act of existing is, in itself, change. One must pass through time to exist, and time is the fundamental force of change.
For something to exist outside of time it must not exist at all, because for any particles to exist they must be in a constant state of change, or movement. Movement of any sort is change, so for something to be active it must change.
Thought is absolute change, so to think of creating something you have to change. Every idea must develop from nothing, and settle into an ever improving form. That is unavoidable, nothing that thinks can avoid change.
Exertion of will is also change, it is the manifestation of change. So for a god to do anything it must change, and thus we know that the "unchanging god" claims are all lies, we can dismiss these even if they present evidence.
Essentially, nothing can remain unchanging and exist or act, not in this universe or any other.

Popularity is Inherently Wrong
The folly of popularity is that it is wrong more often than correct. Ideas that were most popular have almost always proven to be really bad ideas, such as slavery, sexism, superstition, and gods.
One well known example is the Earth being flat, an idea that was extremely popular even though it was not difficult to see that it was wrong. In spite of these basic observations we could have made, people were tortured to death by religious people simply for pointing out the possibility of the idea being wrong.
They were killed because they opposed the popular idea, not because they were wrong or even threatening. Today we still see this folly of humanity, from denying gay marriage to racism in the USA, denying science in place of simple and stupid mythology.
Even the concept of a "creator" or god is a popular idea that is just plain wrong. So it has been demonstrated by all of history that popularity has no inherent effect on ideas, it cannot be used to determine which is correct. However, based on human behavior, all popular ideas should be suspect and placed under the most strick scrutiny before they are excepted.
So to those idiots who are so proud of being popular, remember that you are probably wrong because you enjoy being popular. I have alwasy been popular, I have also always hated it because I have been forced to scrutinize all my decisions.
But to think on it, maybe that's why I am correct more often than not.

Comforts Are Bad
Why did I buy that bag of potato chips when I know I hate potato chips now? The answer to this riddle is the same reason intelligent people can be fooled into the god delusion as easily as the idiots who never questioned it from birth.
To understand it we must look at a basic human need, comfort. Each organism will seek our comfort, either through familiarity or habit.
Because of this inherent need, intelligent organisms become prone to following the crowd, or even doing something they don't actually enjoy just for that comfort. The comfort is not actual comfort, it is a neurological redundancy that the organic brain uses as a baseline for all thought.
The benefit is that the brain has a method of determining if something is a potential threat to the colony, the drawback is that this baseline is established early in life and it is very difficult to change it.
Unlike popular belief, habits are just as difficult to break as drug addictions, because they are the psychological baseline used by the brain to define reality. This makes us susceptible to the delusions we call gods.
Due to the clustering of the species into social groups, our brain will see the group as a comfort, and thus it will use the group as a baseline for reality. Religion was so cleverly designed by the con artists that it offers a strong feeling of group while also opposing such things, allowing the con artists known as preachers to change it at will.
So pity the poor fools who fall for this, and try to retrain your brain to avoid the comforts that are dangerous for your own sake. Potato chips are the most inane of such habits, there are many that can cause serious harm.

USA: Where You Are Free To Be Stupid and That's All
The irony of the USA is that while most of us still deny that we are animals, those same people behave just like cattle with guns. The breeding of our species has been our of control for so long, and we see the impact on the rest of the world quite clearly.
But in the USA most people act like cattle, focused on sex and fucking us all to the brink of extinction. Only China could possibly be worse about this than us, considering they don't even worry about the toxic air they produce.
But let's stick with the western world, because we should have the freedom to be smarter than them. I look around and see so many herds of cattle, I mean families, with many calves in tow, acting like they're somehow superior to those of us smart enough to not breed.
The sad part is that they could still keep fucking if they want, all they need to do is get sterilized or use protection to prevent becoming cattle. Then end result of this cattle like behavior is the propagation of the most idiotic people in the country.
There was a movie based on this that may just be a documentary about our future if the people in my own country don't start behaving more like animals.

You're Picking On My Religion
Every atheist has heard this cry at least a million times, not only is it fallacious, it demonstrates the selfishness, egocentric, and arrogance of religion in one simple phrase. "Stop picking on my religion," or some other variant.
By nature of being an atheist we are inherently dismissing everyone's god claims, usually for lack of evidence (still waiting for just one of you god nuts to present empirical evidence of your claims). Atheist means we are without any belief in any form of god, by any name or description.
Being an atheist does not demand one be a skeptic or even sane, we have our own nuts like those denying medical science and those who think Bigfoot exists. However we all wind up being atheists, eventually, if we use our brains and ask questions.
So what about us vocal or "militant" atheists makes one think that we're picking on their religion and not others? Egocentrism, specifically. Egocentrism is the idea that only you exist, or only your "kind."
Each religion demands that all other religions are wrong, and evil. Thus when facing something like the atheist, with no inherent religious affiliation, it is incapable of demonizing us, or pretending we don't exist, the way it does other competing brands.
Then they feel the need to be the victim, a clear display of selfishness. This is a tactic used by preachers to keep their followers blind, they convince them that everything is out to hurt them just for being them, they are told that being the victim is inevitable and the followers are too stupid to see beyond what they are told by their leaders.
Now the final phase is the one where they believe they are inherently correct, that they have exclusive knowledge which everyone else is lacking. This is the display of arrogance that religion fuels in the minds of the blind followers, they cannot possibly be wrong because they are special and chosen by some magical sky fairy.
Thus they always fall into the belief that us vocal atheists are picking on them, they believe this because the preachers have told them thus as a tactic for protecting the mental engineering done to the believers. It keeps them insane and ignorant so the preacher can continue to profit off their stupidity.
Pity those poor fools, but more importantly, make them show it in public more and more. This is our only tool for fighting this delusion at this time, one day we will have the weight to use medicine to help these poor people.

Evolution, The Greatest Show Everywhere
There is an idea in programming that is relatively new and really bad, it goes like this:
Don't reinvent the wheel.
As appealing as it sounds, there are many reasons this idea just sucks. The most important one being that modern technology is only possible because we did indeed reinvent the wheel, several times.
The very first wheels were likely wooden cart wheels, the only similarity they have to modern wheels is that they are round. The only similarity between the millions of different modern wheels is that they too are round.
Each new wheel is a reinvention of the previous ones, it is not simply an improvement. Someone took the idea of a wheel then worked to make that idea help in a completely new way, from gears to steering apparatuses, each one is a unique invention that uses the same idea as the original wheel.
This is also how successful applications are, they are reinventions or all new. Redundant applications, ones that are identical to older ones, never succeed.
This is how all reality works, you see it in nature, the chemical reactions we call life are reinvented every generation. Ideals are the same as well, a fact that is ignored or even denied by religious people.
Ideology is often founded on very bad ideas, notions and prejudices of a primitive mind incapable of understanding the world, the universe, around them. The time when religions are born their ideals sound great, slavery and genocide are merely self defense.
As time progresses we reinvent our ideals, slavery and genocide are not justifiable and were just bad ideas of a primitive mind. Religion, however, opposes this because it proves that their old ideals are barbaric and unjustifiable.
So, like the original wagon wheel, these bad ideals are replaced by better ideals in societies that choose to advance. Sadly there are societies that refuse to move forward, they refuse to use the reinvented wheel just because they are fooled into thinking the old one is comfortable.
A great thinker, who has a few problems of his own, once said that evolution was the greatest show on Earth. He was mistaken, for it is the greatest show in reality.
Our ideals must evolve, we must reinvent them in order to discover what is truly a perfect set of ideals or we will, inevitably, destroy our minds and then our selves.

The False God
The redundant arguments of religious people, specifically theists, has reached a boiling point. Now is the time to watch them all collapse in a pool of their own drool as they realize just how stupid they sound.
At least this is what we should see, a decade ago. The fact that they are all using the same lame arguments from a decade or more, some over a thousand years old, shows their inability to even learn from their elders.
In the mid-eighties I had come across a portable computer that was entirely SSD technology, the memory was a partition in the storage. It was an experimental machine that a now forgotten company was testing in the market, and it failed then.
I loved it and looked forward to a day when memory was fluid, massive, and affordable, but no one wanted to ditch the disks. This is what it's like being an atheist, today we see SSD technology everywhere, it is the primary format for mass storage and RAM in almost everything we use.
The god claims are like the floppy disk, people refuse to ditch them in spite of then having been obsolete for many years now, sanity (AKA atheist) is the SSD technology that should have replaced the obsolete ideas long ago.
The reasons for people not wanting to advance are simpler, and more frightening, than one might expect. I am sure there are psychologists who would assert it's a complex issue, but they are often guilty of overanalyzing how people think anyway.
The reason is comforting complacency, the majority have grown comfortable just doing the same thing over and over even when it's a bad thing as a way to ignore the fear of the inevitable outcome. So long as they tow the line they are too busy to contemplate the thing they fear most, a thing that also proves they know their god does not exist, the thing we call death.
It is difficult, nearly impossible, to imagine not existing, the very notion frightens all intelligences. It should frighten us, it is the best reason to ditch superstition and embrace logic, reason, and the tools developed by our intelligence.
Because of modern science we can now expect to live until at least 80 years, 120 is the longest we can expect at this time. If we can advance that same medicine fast enough we may conquer mortality, we will essentially defy all proposed gods by doing this.
So why don't the preachers want this? If you remove the fear of death then you remove the illness their snake oil (the god) claims to cure, like we did with polio and measles we will accomplish this.
Religious people need to ask themselves if they would rather take a wager on their preacher being honest, or if they would rather defy their superstitions and be part of the first batch of immortal humans. I will defy your gods, as I have my entire life, only I will defy them by becoming immortal even if it means a war with theists.
Immortality not because of my fear of death, but because I want to see life on other worlds, and to traverse such distances we will need immortality. This also means we will need to be rid of religion, but if there is a god it is likely angry with religious people and pleased with us, those who do not worship false gods.
Think on that for just a moment, when you buy a religion you are not worshipping "whichever god is actually real," you are worshipping the claim made by a preacher of a god existing, you are worshipping a false god. In all religions worshipping the wrong god is far worse than worshipping no god.
There is the entire point religious leaders will kill to hide, for if any such god existed it would be more insulted for someone to worship a false god than for them to accomplish great things without worship. Think of it like a parent, you should want to see your child succeed where you fail, and thus your child must first reach your level, we must reach the level of a god before a god could be proud of it's creation.
So will you defy the god by worshipping your preachers' claims, or will you please the god that might exist by matching it's knowledge and power on your own?

It is difficult, nearly impossible, to imagine not existing, the very notion frightens all intelligences. It should frighten us, it is the best reason to ditch superstition and embrace logic, reason, and the tools developed by our intelligence.
Because of modern science we can now expect to live until at least 80 years, 120 is the longest we can expect at this time. If we can advance that same medicine fast enough we may conquer mortality, we will essentially defy all proposed gods by doing this.
So why don't the preachers want this? If you remove the fear of death then you remove the illness their snake oil (the god) claims to cure, like we did with polio and measles we will accomplish this.
Religious people need to ask themselves if they would rather take a wager on their preacher being honest, or if they would rather defy their superstitions and be part of the first batch of immortal humans. I will defy your gods, as I have my entire life, only I will defy them by becoming immortal even if it means a war with theists.
Immortality not because of my fear of death, but because I want to see life on other worlds, and to traverse such distances we will need immortality. This also means we will need to be rid of religion, but if there is a god it is likely angry with religious people and pleased with us, those who do not worship false gods.
Think on that for just a moment, when you buy a religion you are not worshipping "whichever god is actually real," you are worshipping the claim made by a preacher of a god existing, you are worshipping a false god. In all religions worshipping the wrong god is far worse than worshipping no god.
There is the entire point religious leaders will kill to hide, for if any such god existed it would be more insulted for someone to worship a false god than for them to accomplish great things without worship. Think of it like a parent, you should want to see your child succeed where you fail, and thus your child must first reach your level, we must reach the level of a god before a god could be proud of it's creation.
So will you defy the god by worshipping your preachers' claims, or will you please the god that might exist by matching it's knowledge and power on your own?

Organic And Health Food Scams
Food is chemicals, end of story. All things that exist are either chemical or energy, there is possible way to find any food without chemicals in it, but many companies claim they sell this impossible substance.
This is one of the perfect examples of how stupid most people are, the majority are so stupid that any time you agree with the majority, you should question your sanity and then your stance. Businesses rely on you not questioning popular opinion, and the ones that thrive on such are ones that often sell dangerous products or underpay their employees.
The biggest trend today is organic, which is a stupid label for it because all life is organic and there are many very poisonous organic substances. To put in perspective though, almost all deadly substances for humans are organic, only a few are not.
Most acids used as preservatives in packaged foods are organic, hydrochloric acid is produced in your stomach and is often used as a preservative. Ascorbic acid, sounds scary but it's really important and we often call it vitamin c, is also an antioxidant that helps your cells stay healthy, and it's a very common preservative in almost all processed foods.
Actually, the best source for ascorbic acid is processed foods, or bugs. Iodine, another organic compound that's added to our food but is not considered organic by the idiots who deny modern science, is a very necessary chemical for our cells to function and is most commonly found in insects as well.
That's the problem, the "organic" and "health" food industries depend on people remaining stupid, so stupid as to not understand that sodium, carbon, acids are all necessary for life. The sad fact is that it doesn't take a degree in biochemistry to understand this today, you can Google it now.

Stupid People Can Teach Us
What make the scam called religion so insidious is that stupid people will never know just how stupid they are. Intelligent people doubt themselves quite a lot, however, stupid people often think intelligent people are just being arrogant when we correct their stupid notions.
One's head could spin just trying to explain to a stupid person how stupid they are, so most intelligent people will just snicker and move on. Other intelligent people will beat themselves over the head trying to make the stupid person think.
Then there are us, I often refer to myself as a realist, and this should illustrate why. I know the stupid people will be stupid because they don't think being stupid is a bad thing, so I just encourage them to be stupid.
By making them act stupid they show younger generations why the elders they're told to respect are likely not worthy of anything more than polite mockery. So when I engage someone in a long discussion about something they clearly know nothing about it's not for my benefit, or theirs, at least not directly.
I do it so fewer people in the next generation will make the same mistake of thinking stupid is attractive in any way. The misuse of words is the biggest sign of stupidity and ignorance, and this becomes more apparent online than anywhere else.
The irony of religious people attempting to redefine words is that it makes them look like total morons, youth can look it upon the very machine they are reading this nonsense then see that their "elders" are purposefully misusing a word. Ultimately this benefits the young reader and gets them to question everything they've been told.
This doubt of a things told is what helps destroy the poisonous grasp religion has on our species, because religion cannot survive in without a sea of ignorance. A short list of words that religious people will redefine include: atheist, evolution, science, empirical, and theory.
Should someone redefine or misuse these words you can be absolutely certain they are religious and lying to convince you that their snake oil works better than the snake oil of the other religions. Often they even try to pose as scientists when they are nothing more than laborers or pastors too stupid to learn anything real.
So young people, unless you want to be stuck selling snake oil, keep questioning us older people. Many in my generation failed to do that, none of us wrote a scientific paper before we were thirty either.
As for respect, if you even think age defines how much respect you deserve then you have been indoctrinated already. Age is just a measurement of how lucky you are, nothing more.

Conservative or Liberal - Just Say Liberal
So there is this odd misuse of words in the USA, this is so widely spread that some people even call being an atheist a religion. But let's focus on the one word that bothers me most, conservative.
The word liberal is also misused as a result, but that happens less often. Conservative has nothing to do with religious delusion, it has to do with quantity, actually.
The basic use of the word means "to use or apply small amounts." The original conservative political ideology was people who preferred less government influence in personal lives, liberal meant more.
Eventually a platform was built and a standard ideology was adopted in various parts of Europe, none of which had anything to do with religion. It was not until the USA formed that religion was injected, forcefully, into the ideology.
You see, religion is not a conservative ideal in any way, it is liberal, very liberal. No conservative would support punishment for thoughts, and religion demands just that.
The reason thought crimes oppose pure conservatism is that it demands liberal amounts of control, monitoring, and punishment. Any punishment for a thought is, by existing, liberal.
The fact of the matter is that for a set of laws to be conservative they can only contain crimes that directly harm other people. All other laws require more government intervention, thus anything more than that is liberal.
Recently this was pointed out to the fake conservatives called the GOP, and thus they tried to blur the definition of "personhood" to essentially justify their very contradictory platform. This is not conservative, this is very liberal, as liberal as the KKK who wants the government to dictate how people sleep.
The problem is that religion has hijacked the GOP, and turned it into a right winged liberal party then lied to it's constituents and told them it was still conservative. Worse, the supporters were so stupid that they believed the lie, even today when we can see true liberal and conservative parties in other countries, none of which are like our GOP.
The problem is the censoring and manipulation of the media by our government, the true reason for the FCC being formed. Censoring is, in itself, a very liberal idea, and one I oppose vehemently. This has created a circus in place of news, and thus we were never given facts on television or radio.
People who support the GOP still actually rely on media's lies in place of actual facts, so sad and so fucking stupid! They are total morons, idiots, the kind of people we should be locking up and sterilizing.
So to summarize, conservative ideology cannot include religion, only liberals can include such overbearing ideals. Left and right are the best descriptives, and this part is so fantastic that it's nearly orgasmic to consider.
Growing up, using the left hand to write with was considered taboo, before my generation they would actually force kids to use only the right hand. Later we discovered that left handed people think with the right side of the brain, the creative side.
The Republicans and Democrats are like that taboo, the left was originally the basis for many bad ideas. Then it was discovered that the right was really the basis for the bad ideas while the left was a force for progress, much like the way we saw handedness.
So drop the liberal and conservative from the discussion, they're both liberal, just in different ways.

The Livestock On The Streets
Recently I commented that Pepper, a gray tabby I adopted many months ago, has finally started acting like a cat again. The reason she was acting so different is that her previous human companions had betrayed her many times and for many years.
This reminds me that humanity had lost it's capacity for unconditional love and friendship with the advent of society. Our social structure has demanded we place not only conditions on everything, but also value and worth.
One thing caused this to happen, the cancer of religion. The delusion called god places conditions and value on it's favor and acceptance from the beginning, it is by doing this that leaders can guilt believers into giving them more "sacrifices."
Then children are indoctrinated into this notion that everything must be earned, even love. If something must be earned then it is conditional and has a social value, it can also be traded.
This has, ultimately, destroyed our specie's ability to comprehend what unconditional means, now we use that term incorrectly more than not. If you want to see unconditional love adopt a cat or dog from the Humane Society.
Even if they have been abused they will love the one who they live with once they adjust to their new location. Even if you strike one, causing pain, they will beg for your affection and attention, and they will be there when you are at your lowest.
Just thinking of harming an animal like that make my eyes tear up, it hurts me to think of them being hurt by my own species. We are not the only animals on the planet and it's time we learned what we have forgotten from the others before we destroy ourselves … and them.
Walking between shops and home I came to realize that humanity is nothing more than livestock, constantly breeding and then discarding the ones they don't like. If we were to love unconditionally this would be impossible, our species would slow it's breeding to protect everything from our own advances.
Many people think it's pollution itself that's the problem, they never want to admit it's because of how many humans there are. The amount of pollution per person is on par with other animals, pollution from one species is also a resource for another, as long as the other species has the same population …
Therein lies the problem, we have not only over populated, we are constantly destroying other species as well, playing as if we are privileged and smarter than the universe. We are, smarter, but we have not been around nearly as long.
The system we are part of is an ongoing set of chemical reactions that have equalized, balanced. We are disrupting this balance and then placing bandaids over the problems it's causing instead of doing the one simple thing we must do to survive: stop fucking.

Living in the Future - Chaos Incarnate
So what does it mean when we say we're living in the future?
This question dawned on me when I said the phrase to someone who is less tech capable than I, he had no idea what it means. The phrase was introduced to be through a song titled "Living in the Future" by Akira the Don.
Recently he did a version 2.0 then 2.5 was the one released, those are part of the title if you search YouTube. Listening to those songs in sequence will explain it to the musical artists and enthusiasts, the rest of you will just have to keep reading this.
When I was growing up we had a lot to worry about, medicine was still primitive and technology was both unwieldy and unconnected. We took the bus to school, and lugged massive backpacks full of heavy books, and our sack lunches were in actual sacks.
By the time I graduated from high school computers became manageable, music began sounding all the same, movies lost their luster, and phones became portable … the prices became obscene.
Then the internet happened, twenty years after I was born, twenty years too late for me to truly benefit from. Now kids can miss days in school and get their homework through electronic mail, email is what we call it now.
Most kids today can get away with using a kindle or tablet PC for all their school books, weighing less than 5 lbs. for all their books. Students can safely walk to school now, there are eyes everywhere so less crime and disappearances happen.
Medicine has made us nearly immortal, and in about 26 years it may do just that. We now have access to more movies, music, games, books, art, everything, and no one can say they don't find something they like online.
We now see, hear, and read facts with the lies, online we can see what is really happening anywhere, no more censored and doctored media monopoly. Truth is more clear and everything gets tested, only empirical evidence survives this scrutiny now.
We can not only talk to anyone we want at the touch of a button, we can now see them in real time over the networks. The wool our governments and religions placed over our eyes is now cast aside and we can see everything as it is.
The future today is today, because we have no idea what's next. When I was young we predicted all of this, smart phones and world wide access to information, friends across the globe, conquering of most illnesses, and the increase in exposure giving us more safety in the physical world.
But now we have run out of predictions, we are at a point in which anything goes, tomorrow we may conquer death itself, or land a human on Mars, or find intelligent life on another world. Tomorrow we may destroy ourselves, or perfect bio technology allowing us to enhance ourselves.
We may find a manufacturing method that makes everything so inexpensive that money becomes obsolete, or we may find a new valuable resource that will drive a wedge between the rich and poor causing another revolution.
We may see peace in the Middle East, though unlikely in my lifetime it is still possible. We may see religious people become intelligent and sane, or we will see them destroy our species just to protect their delusions.
No matter what happens from here, we are living in the future, and today is the best time to be alive.

A True Doomsday Possibility
I can be quoted numerous times saying that our species growth rate is unsustainable, this is supported by simple math so … let's do the math. Prior to modern medicine, before even primitive medicine, before safety offered by social structure, any human was lucky to live past puberty.
Because of this selective pressure we evolved a breeding cycle that rivals rabbits, and sex drives to match. There were only a few million of us during the best years at that time, luckily we were never less than a few hundred thousand or we'd not have made it at all after breeding the neanderthal into our species.
So we were short lived yet quick to reproduce and smart enough to hide from the lions instead of taming them on unarmed. It was the latter trait that gave birth to the first step toward over population.
We formed social structures, allowing us to organize tasks based on abilities, and helping to protect our young so they had a better chance of reproducing before dying, and our population began growing beyond the boundaries of land and sea. Then we invented science, by then we were past sustainable.
Our population has begun to grow exponentially due to modern medicine, a result of science, increasing our lifespans to nearly five times what it was at our beginnings. This same science has also explained why we must stop breeding, hypocritically many people deny that part while enjoying the medicine the same science developed.
The aspect of our modern species that is denied most is our tenacity to deny our own mistakes, even when our very existence is threatened by said mistakes. We invent reasons why it's either not a mistake, or some magical savior who will come and correct it for us like this Jesus myth.
Many of us have taken to living in our own fantasy worlds just because the fantasies that are causing harm to us and the planet are holding onto the minds of our society like a cancer. We become self absorbed in video games and novels to escape the horror caused by the mass delusion of religion.
Very few of us have the stomach, and the patience, to attack these delusions head on, but we are losing the battle against the cancers of religion, war, and ignorance. Now we are at the point of no return, we must slow our breeding even if it means forced sterilization and neutering, or those born of these acts will have no world to live on.

Isms Are Not That Complicated
The "ism" is the most commonly misused, misrepresented, and misunderstood concept than any other part of language. The three most misused ones by theists are theism, materialism, and commercialism.
While other such adjectives are abused nearly as often, I will focus on these because even a few atheists and scientists abuse these three. An "ism" has nothing inherently to do with belief or worship, nor does it inherently have anything to do with obsession.
An ism is really just an adjective made out of a verb or noun, and that's it. Adding the suffix ism to something makes it "about this," in other words, a single descriptive trait. Thus, materialism is NOT "worshipping of material objects," it means "pertaining to the material world" or the physical world as opposed to the philosophical or imaginary world.
When a person is materialistic it means they are concerned with the physical world, such as food, shelter, safety, … on and on. It does not mean they worship luxury objects, theists often misconstrue this to distract people from the fact that they are greedy and often addicted to luxury objects more than anyone else.
Which brings us to the related, though also misused, adjective of commercialism. Commercialism applies to any system in whicb an arbitrary value is placed on something, even barter and trade is commercialism.
Money is just a marker of value, a scale used to measure the comparative values of everything, even your very life. You earn value by working for it, then you spend that value on things you need and want.
Corporatism is rarely abused as a word, but often people will mistakenly use commercialism when they intend to say corporatism. Corporatism is the incorporation of values, allowing a few elite to decide the worth or value of everything instead of society.
Enter capitalism, another commonly misused word. Capitalism is where the values are determined by society by popularity, what people are able and willing to give for something is it's value and nothing else impacts it.
Back to the original three before I stray too far. Everyone who wants to survive is materialistic, because surviving in the physical world requires that one be concerned with the physical world.
Everyone who adheres to a value system of any sort is a commercalist, if you place a value on your work you are a commercialist. If you believe a god exists then you are a theist, if you don't believe a god exists then you are technically an atheist.
Some isms do include belief, but belief is not inherent. So pull your heads out of your asses and learn to communicate, instead of making everything up like you do in church.
While other such adjectives are abused nearly as often, I will focus on these because even a few atheists and scientists abuse these three. An "ism" has nothing inherently to do with belief or worship, nor does it inherently have anything to do with obsession.

Money is just a marker of value, a scale used to measure the comparative values of everything, even your very life. You earn value by working for it, then you spend that value on things you need and want.
Corporatism is rarely abused as a word, but often people will mistakenly use commercialism when they intend to say corporatism. Corporatism is the incorporation of values, allowing a few elite to decide the worth or value of everything instead of society.
Enter capitalism, another commonly misused word. Capitalism is where the values are determined by society by popularity, what people are able and willing to give for something is it's value and nothing else impacts it.
Back to the original three before I stray too far. Everyone who wants to survive is materialistic, because surviving in the physical world requires that one be concerned with the physical world.
Everyone who adheres to a value system of any sort is a commercalist, if you place a value on your work you are a commercialist. If you believe a god exists then you are a theist, if you don't believe a god exists then you are technically an atheist.
Some isms do include belief, but belief is not inherent. So pull your heads out of your asses and learn to communicate, instead of making everything up like you do in church.

The Real Illuminati
The computer world is not only real, it is controlled by us geeky atheists. The geeks have inherited the Earth, and this is a good thing.
First, often people will call the physical world the "real" world and refer to the computer world as just "the internet." The computer world is real though, and the physical world today is dependent on the computer world's state, in such profound ways that no human society can exist without it now.
This is evidenced in regions where they attempt to censor or ban access to the computer world, those regions are often blights on our species, chaos and disease run the societies there. Modern society, the very health we all enjoy, money, business, everything depends on the computer world and has depended on it since the 1950s, in spite of some nostalgic lies told by deluded old fools in bars.
Our masks in the physical world are gone online, the honest personality, the real us, is exposed when we are typing in text. Often people will use slurs like "keyboard commando" when someone else shows their true colors, and this is true but it's the reason you can actually see who they are online, but not in the physical world.
In the physical world we wear masks, we are vulnerable and our fear forces most of us to behave how society demands even if contrary to our own personality, even if the behavior is bad. In the computer world we are not forced to behave based on social tenets and thus, we become ourselves.
The second part is why atheists and geeks control the computer world, most geeks and atheists are persecuted or even physically harmed by societies. In the computer world that we created we are safe to share facts, information, and blasphemy, in the safety of the world we created where we are in control of everything.
The drawback is that to avoid being hypocrites we must allow all people the same privilege, at least some think this is a drawback. It is actually a very great thing, for those who are causing the physical world societies to be dangerous to us are showing their true colors online, and it's easy to get them to say the stupid things online that they fear saying in the physical world.
The funny part is that they actually think they are anonymous, but only Anonymous is truly anonymous, and they remain such as a way of keeping control. Anonymous is our police, our military, and our judges for the computer world, so they are welcomed by geeks and atheists, feared by the religious, and hated by dictators, because Anonymous is us, all of us.
Since the first computer systems were installed, no one alive today has lived before that, geeks have had control of everything. From government defenses to records of everything you do and are, every keystroke is filed and recorded, every phone call is tracked and the number stored, every purchase (even with cash) is also on file somewhere.
The point is, the conspiracy nuts are all wrong, there is an Illuminati like organization, we are just not very organized.

The War of Religion
If this offends you, then you are proving that your religion is oppressive and vile.
Does this change anything about how humans live? Not at all, as fascinating as the gnat it, it's limited view of reality does not alter how reality works in any way.
Often people will defend religion with "everyone's entitled to their own beliefs." This is just a lie to protect the snake oil, reality does not change just because you believe you can fly without wings.
What's worse is that denying reality allows one to ignore the horror done by others who deny reality, even some atheists have demonstrated this huge problem. Many are against showing the horrific pictures of those slain in the name of a god, instead they focus only on the victim's good pictures.
This is a defensive action, protecting religion from scrutiny, allowing people to deny reality instead of embracing and improving it. We need these horrible images shown, to spread the truth and fuel the outrage against all religion, but more importantly to show their kids how horrible their parents behave because of these religions.
Indoctrination is difficult to break in older people who are set in their ways, neurology explains why this is. So the best strategy to end this insanity is to show their children the reality before they have the wool pulled over it, and instead of fear display anger and mock the fucking religions.
We must also remind ourselves why we fight against the indoctrination, the delusion, and why any delusion is bad when it's protected. We all need to look at these images and put ourselves in the shoes of the victims.
To burn to death us the most painful way to die, imagine the pain through your whole life suffered tenfold in one moment knowing that this is the last thing you will ever feel. Then cry for the victim and raise your fists toward the religious people in outrage, demand justice, not fear, not excuses, not cowardice.
Demand they are all held accountable for this, moderates of any religion are nothing more than subversive liars, those who deny this fact are enablers and complicate. "Moderates" defend and support the doctrine used by those who commit these atrocities, they are just as responsible.
We must end this insanity, or we will all face the same fate at the hands of those who do not like us.
