“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”

~ Nikola Tesla ~

“A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a “mental” construction. Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: “The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual.”

KURT VONNEGUT: BREAKFAST OF HONESTY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

One of my literary heroes is Kurt Vonnegut.  He was one of the primary inspirations for my first book, “The Oz Factors“, which was modeled after the literature created by this  American “revolutionary” (which means he told the truth, rather than pandering to cultural lies and criminal activities called “American culture” and “American history”.  More importantly, as a human being he was caring, intelligent, kind, egalitarian, spiritually aware and didn’t take any bullshit from governments or religions.  Here is a short video of Kurt Vonnegut reading from his book “Breakfast of Champions“.

Here is an interview with Kurt on PBS at the age of 83, commenting on America and the failure experiment of the Human Race:

Learn more about the life and books of Kurt Vonnegut:

(November 11, 1922 – April 11, 2007) was a 20th-century American writer. His works such as Cat’s Cradle (1963), Slaughterhouse-Five (1969), and Breakfast of Champions (1973) blend satire, gallows humor, and science fiction.  Vonnegut’s first short story, “Report on the Barnhouse Effect,”appeared in the February 11, 1950, edition of Collier’s  (it has since been reprinted in his short story collection, Welcome to the Monkey House). His first novel was the dystopian novel Player Piano (1952), in which human workers have been largely replaced by machines. He continued to write short stories before his second novel, The Sirens of Titan, was published in 1959.Through the 1960s, the form of his work changed, from the relatively orthodox structure of Cat’s Cradle (which in 1971 earned him a Master’s Degree) to the acclaimed, semi-autobiographical Slaughterhouse-Five, given a more experimental structure by using time travel as a plot device. These structural experiments were continued in Breakfast of Champions (1973).   Breakfast of Champions became one of his best-selling novels. It includes, in addition to the author himself, several of Vonnegut’s recurring characters. One of them, science fiction author Kilgore Trout, plays a major role and interacts with the author’s character. (Wikipedia.org)

Magic — noun:   any art that invokes supernatural powers (from Old Persian maguš or sorcerer)

LET’S PRETEND

LET’S PRETEND

When we’re young we run
and play “let’s pretend” to be
anything and everything – just for fun.
Our imagination is the key.
As we grow up we are told
by others who are very serious
That reality is time and space and gold;
that games and visions are delirious.
Life goes on and we agree
what other people think is best:
to play our part in reality
just like them and all the rest.
Every game has a start,
a middle and conclusion.
When the time comes to depart
just make a new illusion!
You are Spirit ! Life Eternal !
You’ll make a future and new friends !
Through your dreams you are immortal;
like children playing “let’s pretend”.

DERIVATIVES: THE SAME OLD SCAM

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Does the following definition of a “derivative” sound like something you would spend you hard earned money on?  Or, does it sound like a complex shell-game designed to steal your hard earned money from you?  If you are stupid enough to believe that “Wall Street” is anything more than a criminal racket, you deserve to pay your tax dollars to bail the mutherfuckers out of the billions of dollars they’ve squandered on this elaborate scam.  ARE YOU TIRED OF THE BULLSHIT YET?

“A derivative instrument is a “contract between two parties that specifies conditions-in particular, dates and the resulting values of the underlying variables-under which payments, or payoffs, are to be made between the parties.  One of the oldest derivatives is rice futures, which have been traded on the Dojima Rice Exchange since the eighteenth century.  Derivatives are broadly categorized by the relationship between the underlying asset and the derivative (e.g., forward, option, swap); the type of underlying asset (e.g., equity derivatives,foreign exchange derivatives, interest rate derivatives, commodity derivatives, or credit derivatives); the market in which they trade (e.g., exchange-traded or over-the-counter); and their pay-off profile.

Derivatives can be used for speculating purposes (“bets”) or to hedge (“insurance”). For example, a speculator may sell deep in-the-money naked calls on a stock, expecting the stock price to plummet, but exposing himself to potentially unlimited losses. Very commonly, companies buy currency forwards in order to limit losses due to fluctuations in the exchange rate of two currencies. — Wikipedia
