NOTHING MORE OR LESS
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Many quantum physicists, Indian gurus, and other esoteric mystics like Star Trek HoloDeck fans, Matrix fans, and people who read some of my books, speculate that Earth in nothing more, or less, than a construct of an intergalactic police force which has been designed to appear “normal” and “nice” while, in fact it is nothing more, or less, than a prison for immortal spiritual beings who have been tricked into believing that they are biological entities who “evolved” on this tiny water-rock inside a holographically-generated illusion called “space-time”. Personally, I find the entire delusion called “life” to be nothing more, or less, than what it appears to be to me. The only choices I can see are WEIRD, STRANGE and BIZARRE. However, I prefer to dream, imagine and hope that there may be something better out there, somewhere “Over The Rainbow”, or “Down The Rabbit Hole”. If there isn’t, and I can’t create a better “Universe of My Own”, then what’s the worst thing that can happen? Dearth, Reincarnation, Life, Death, etc., etc., ad infinitum…
Nothing more, or less.

CHOOSE A HOLODECK PROGRAM

Someday the “Holodeck” from Star Trek may become a reality simulation “toy” on Earth. Microsoft and other tech companies are already working on creating virtual reality devices for use in the home. The idea of “virtual reality” has been a part of science fiction and film since the 1930s : “Pygmalion’s Spectacles” by Stanley G. Weinbaum describes a goggle-based virtual reality system with holographic recording of fictional experiences including smell and touch.
Theoretically, since our universe is fundamentally composed of “thought energy” it is conceivable that we are already living inside a holographic universe, driven by computer technology developed by “aliens” over a period of billions of years. On Earth, we have had electricity for only about 100 years, and computers for only a few decades. What technology might be possible millions of years from now? Socially and technologically the human race are virtual barbarians. Yet, anything we can imagine can become a reality.
If you could choose any “virtual reality program” from a Holodeck menu, which would you choose?

STRANGE LOVE
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a political commentary, disguised as a satire black comedy film, that reveals the “Cold War” fears of a nuclear conflict between the USSR and the US. The story concerns a psychopathic United States Air Force general who orders a first strike nuclear bomber attack on the Soviet Union.
It follows the President of the United States, his advisers, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer as they try to recall the bombers to prevent a nuclear apocalypse. It separately follows the crew of one B-52 bomber as they try to deliver their payload of nuclear bombs to destroy a Russian nuclear missile and begin the Global Nuclear Holocaust when Russian retaliates by exploding their a “doomsday device“, which consists of many buried bombs jacketed with “Cobalt-Thorium G” connected to a computer network set to detonate them automatically should any nuclear attack strike the country. Within two months after detonation, the Cobalt-Thorium G would encircle the earth in a radioactive cloud, wiping out all human and animal life.
