Underground Knowledge — A discussion group discussion
New Members: Introduce yourselves here
I'm the author of a new book titled Searching for Truth in the Empire of Lies: An Evolution of Political and Societal Perspectives During the Decline of America and its Empire. It contains more than 90 of my essays from the past 10 years on numerous issues, with a highly individualistic mix of Right and Left ideas, of conservative, libertarian, and revolutionary radical views. Yes, I've become increasingly radicalized from all the BS of the government-corporate establishment. See more about me and my book at:https://www.ajsmuskiewicz.com/a-j-s-e...
Hello Friends :o)My pen name is Dr Jasmine and I am a practicing family doctor with 1/3 million patients to my name so far. I am passionate about sharing what I have learnt about humanity through my books.
Love, Demystified- had just been published and is
an idiosyncratic book that combines science and fiction, philosophy, poetry and some original art, to answer all your questions about love; the meaning of life; the design and the purpose of the universe.
Why do we love sex so much? Who is God and where is he? How to maintain passion in a long-term relationship and experience the highest levels of pleasure? What is the structure, function, and the meaning of every entity in the Universe, and what is your place amongst them? These, and many other questions, are answered.
Wishing you all a lovely evening :o)
Dr Jasmine
To: Newbie Undergrounders & anyone considering joining our Underground Knowledge group...I refer you to my "Timely & Trending topics in the Underground" post... https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
It includes a tiny snapshot of topics Undergrounders are discussing.
No topic is off-limits. Feel free to have YOUR say.
Hello Everyone I’m Leondra New To The Group Thx For Letting Me Join. Been Reading Some Of The Topics Of Discussion Have To Say WoW
Hello, I am William Cooper. The first post in this thread suggests sharing my worldview. It can be found here:How America Works... and Why it Doesn't: A Brief Guide to the US Political System
William, welcome to the group, and all best for the new book.It looks very timely - so much so I've taken the liberty of establishing a new discussion thread for it titled, How America Works...and Why it Doesn't, and I'm suggesting our fellow Undergrounders check it out and have their say.
The new thread can be viewed at https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Hi! I'm Alyssa and I'm currently going into my second year of studying Politics, Philosophy and Economics at University. I'm interested in any topics that relate to those subjects – and topics beyond those too. Science, psychology, religion, technology. I'm excited to be part of this community and learn so much!

Hello I am Dilip James an author on Good Reads, I have just published a book on Amazon.com entitled 'Redefining the Electron'. The book deals with questions on how a photon with a 500 nm wavelength, can be absorbed by an atom that is 5000 times larger than itself. To give you an idea of what this means 25 million atoms (at a conservative estimate) can fit into the area occupied by 500 nm squared. Another interesting question is that to do with how does the current model of physics deal with the frequency of optical photons (upwards of a hundred trillion times a second. The short answer is it doesn't and this poses a problem because the latest rubidium atomic clocks show exactly that, namely they resonate at the irradiated laser frequency unlike earlier Caesium atomic clocks that worked in the micro-wave range and did not resonate but affected atoms moved instead to metastable states. Worth a read.

Your book sounds like it qualifies as underground knowledge and should be added to our Alternative Thinking Books discussion thread. Add it whenever you like with link to the book...and good luck with it!

The book deals with questions on how a photon with a 500..."Dear Lance, Thank you for taking the time to read my post and advising me to post it on the alternative thinking discussion thread. The reason I have written 4 books on the subject is that I was totally distraught to learn that more than 400 years after Isaac Newton we still do not have a theory for how light travels from point A to point B. I had thought that by now we would have a beautiful theory to describe the wonderful phenomenon of light. Unfortunately we don’t. The theory of light that we do have, is logically highly improbable, cluttered with maths and does not reflect the beauty of the natural world. In an age of the mobile phone and space exploration we don’t have a clue of how radio waves are formed or of how they propagate. Our theory of atomic structure (believe it or not) and photon emission and absorption is laughing out loud ridiculous. In fact our present interpretation of these things requires faith on the scale that the early Roman Catholic church required of its adherents. But, you say what about the amazing achievements of science in recent years, nuclear energy, mobile phones, the internet, television, space exploration: the list goes on and on. The explanation for this is that an approximately right answer often works as well as a more precise one. There are numerous examples of this. NASA does not use General Relativity to calculate space missions, Radio engineers do not use quantum field theory or quantum electrodynamics to calculate radio-transmissions, they use Maxwell’s equations, which are not truly accurate but which nevertheless work very well and so on. To help readers who are interested in reading my book, ‘Redefining the Electron’ I would like to upload and distribute the book as a PDF file. Any advice on how to do this would be appreciated. Incidentally ‘Redefining the Electron’ offers a new explanation of gravity. Further, every fact is meticulously backed up by citations including chapter and page number, so it is not a wild goose chase you are on.
Hello! I'm Ştefan Serşeniuc. I just uploaded on Kindle Amazon a book on bind and double bind, schismogenesis, cybernetics second and third order. Plus reflexive control, which could be defined as the psychological way of influencing an adversary in order to encourage him to take disadvantageous decisions. Examples of reflexive control (from the book) are: use of language during Brexit, tricks of President Trump, Putin in Ukraine (use of the martial art's techniques into the battlefield as part of the Operational Art). In the book you will find other interesting things: the use of anthropology against the Japanese during WW2, or how wolves’ DNA was changed by just a human idea, and much more.
Don't get scared by the word cybernetics from the title. You'll see how easy is to understand the whole concept!
Thank you!

Scientific and scientifically disposed Undergrounders will be able to respond more intelligently to your latest post than I.
As for uploading and distributing your book as a PDF file, I'd imagine adding it, or adding a link to it, on the book's homepage -- either here on Goodreads or on Amazon or on the book's website if there is one or on all the aforementioned -- would be your best bet. You could then advertise and promote it on all those platforms and on social media generally.

Good luck with it and feel free to add it to our Alternative Thinking Books discussion thread as specified in message #1174 above.
OTHER AUTHORS OF ALTERNATIVE THINKING BOOKS PLEASE TAKE NOTE.
Don’t read this book if you lack imagination or struggle with abstract thinking! But if that’s not the case, then you will be intrigued by various presentations of facts and realities, such as the tricks behind Brexit, or those used by President Trump, the links between Judo, President Putin, and the war in Ukraine, the use of exaggeration in broadcasting, the use of anthropology against the Japanese during WW2, or how wolves’ DNA was changed by just a human idea, and much more.Gregory Bateson Variations: A View of Complex Ideas: Binds, Double Binds, Schismogenesis, Second- and Third-Order Cybernetics, René Girard, and More https://amzn.eu/d/cp5y6ZL

Welcome Erik. Your book and someone of your background appear
well suited to this group.
I suggest you post the book in our Alternative Thinking Books thread.
Also, for the interest of fellow Undergrounders, I include your bio here. Hope that's okay...

Hi everyone! I’m Jade Weedmark, and I’m excited to be here and connect with you all. I’ve spent many years exploring conspiracies like the Illuminati and world elites, trying to understand the bigger picture. My life took a major turn after a personal encounter with God, which helped me shift my focus and find real purpose. I’ve spent most of my life living with Muscular Dystrophy and was told I’d be in a wheelchair by the age of 10 and that having children wouldn’t be possible. Despite these predictions, I’ve defied all the odds, still walking independently and blessed with two beautiful children. It hasn’t been easy, but putting my trust in the Creator has given me strength I never thought possible. I look forward to sharing experiences and learning from each of you!
I'm Tui Allen, living in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand where I spend time kayaking among the marine wildlife who share my home here. I worry a lot about marine conservation and all my work is done with this concern in the forefront of my mind. I am a vegan for 3 reasons:
* environmental
* animal welfare
* my own health
I also drive an electric car, walk a lot, do everything possible to avoid buying plastic or plastic packaging. I bake bread to avoid plastic bread-bags, make my own milk to avoid milk packaging, and other similar things. I guess I'm trying to BE the change as they say.
In the past I sailed a lot around NZ and the South Pacific in a little wooden boat with no motor, no electrics, and some of the sails were made of real canvas. We had huge adventures out there and I passed the time on my long night watches reciting that great poem of marine conservation - The Ancient Mariner and dreaming myself inside the heads of marine beings I encountered around me in the deep sea. These beings have since become the characters in my sea stories. I'm soon to publish my second novel Dolphin Melody and am the author of one previous novel which has done very well for a book with a $0 marketing budget and been translated into the Czech language. It is Ripple, the twenty million year old story of how love inspired one dolphin to an intellectual achievement that changed the universe.
Hello, denizens of this group! I'm Expat Scribe, the author of The Invisible Cyber Bully: What it's like to be watched 24/7 (a psychological techno-thriller) and My Mother, the Good Witch Doctor: How Mom helped princesses with dyslexia (an illustrated children's book). I'm interested in topics that people previously laughed at me for discussing years ago but are now part of everyday life, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, mind control (previously relegated to sci-fi but now existing with Elon Musk's Neuralink), mass psychosis using subliminal suggestion, etc.If any of you would like to connect, message/friend me on Goodreads, hit me up on facebook [dot] com [slash] expatscribe, or visit my website: expatscribe [dot] com. Thanks and may The Force be with you.
My name is Anatolii Miroshnychenko, I am a lawyer from Ukraine with the experience in academia (professor and department head at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, 1999-2022), judiciary (member of the High Council of Justice of Ukraine in 2015-2019), executive branch. Since 2022 (after full-scale Russian invasion) I serve with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.My original field of scientific interest is land law (which in Ukraine is a combination of property law and environmental law) and the theory of law. But in recent years based mostly in my first-hand experience I developed an opinion on some of democracy's problematic issues, which I have attempted to describe in a number of my works, some of which are in English (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...).
Welcome all newbie Undergrounders, including Anatolii, Expat, Tui and Jade.Wow! What diverse and interesting backgrounds y'all have!
Please check out this group's discussion threads... There are many I'm certain you'll resonate with. Do feel free to comment on any that spark your interest.
Good morning. My name is Stephen Heartland. I have a vaccine damaged daughter because I trusted doctors and our healthcare system. This led me to do much research which culminated in a book I recently published "Louis Pasteur Condemns Big Pharma: Vaccines, Drugs, and Healthcare in the United States."
I am looking forward to discussions with all of you regarding science, medicine, history, politics, and more.
Thank you all in advance for all the interesting things I think I will learn here!
Hello folksMy name is Peter Jones. I love the idea of this group and have been having fun reading through the discussions.
What seems to be lacking is a section that examines the poor scholarship, poor thinking, abundance of misinformation and general confusion that characterises mainstream academic philosophy. I hope this will become a explicit area of interest for this group at some time, and look forward to contributing on this topic. It is a academic scandal that deeply affects all of us, but it tends to slip under the radar.
My interests and expertise lie in the relationship between metaphysics, mysticism, religion and science and how they may be reconciled without doing damage to any of them.
Needless to say I have a relevant book forthcoming, but the publication date is some way off as yet.

Welcome, Peter. You make some good points.
The nearest we get to the topics you raise is probably our "Secret methods to increase IQ" discussion thread at https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group... - It was inspired by our book Genius Intelligence - book one in our Underground Knowledge Series.
Please do add your thoughts to the above or indeed any thread that catches your eye... One of our Alternative Science threads perhaps?
Hey friends, my brand new fiction novel is available for FREE for the next couple days. Hoping to get some reviews or shares in return. If you like South Asian culture and jungles, then I think you will like this! Patala Races: Rise of a Champion

Welcome Gregory! As you're ex-Army, I'd be interested to know your thoughts on the Ukraine and Middle East (especially Gaza) conflicts, and what you think could change for better or worse under Trump.
No compulsion. Only if you feel like it.

Hello all, Recently joined Goodreads again because my primary coping mechanism for the last 4 years has been surrounding myself with books.
It’s been an enjoyable browsing experience in this group so far: so many topics! And its uncanny to see their increasing prevalence in our world nary a decade since original posting.
Bless!

Hello to all the group members. My name is Mazz. I am from Lahore, Pakistan. I recently joined this group. Hopefully, I will learn something new from this group.
Hello, my name is Liz. I love to learn, therefore I read! I believe with Napoleon Hill that “Knowledge is only Potential Power” and it only becomes powerful when organized into a plan of action and applied and directed towards a specific end. But I don’t just read for knowledge I also read for fun and I hope garner ideas about new and interesting authors and their works through this group.
Salam Alaikum, I’m Mariam from Egypt. I won’t talk much about myself. I actually created this account so that books speak for me, not me talking about 'myself.'
Hey I'm Dhiren As a new author, I'd love to connect with others on this platform. If you're interested, I’d be happy to share my book and would greatly appreciate any reviews on my profile.
Hello everyone! I’m Ash, and I’m so excited to be a part of this group! I’ve always been a lover of books, finding joy in the way stories can transport us to new worlds, challenge our perspectives, and connect us with the experiences of others.I enjoy exploring a variety of genres, and am always looking for compelling reads, thought-provoking themes, or simply a page-turner I can’t put down. I love hearing others perspectives, as I think discussing books can be as enriching as reading them.
I can’t wait to dive into some great books with all of you and discover new favorites.
Hello all. My name is Aurora. I'm a big fan of books for very young persons, picture books, first readers, up to YA. I'm in the middle of writing some.I'm here because I feel the children's PoV is often lost. Looking forward to meeting others who like discussing these kinds of things.
Thanks for having me.
I'm Scout. Cool that you have no rules, unless I say something that brings the hordes' disapproval. We'll see, and I can take it to a point. Looks interesting.
I don't see many current discussions.
Scout wrote: "I don't see many current discussions."Scout, let's start one here...
Perhaps you could tell us the story behind your intriguing Goodreads profile photo? Is that you?
Welcome to the group by the way.
Hi, I'm Ik. I'm an avid book reader, I have a really imaginative mind and I love how books help me put it to good use.I hope I get beautiful reads with you guys.
Cheers to the beginning of a journey here🥂
recently rediscovered reading.. cannot believe i forgot books existed but alas, here we are...
I am Papaphilly,I will probably irritate most of you and not worried about how my opinions may do so. I am a skeptic on most things. Yet, I do think esoteric subject are worthy of study. I also love a conspiracy and the crazier the better. I treat all equally and believe all opinions are important and as valid as mine whether I think they are legitimate or stupid. I treat all with respect and expect the same back.
Lance, thanks for the welcome. I chose the name Scout originally because of the character in To Kill a Mockingbird. I was a tomboy and curious like she was, so I identified with her. And when I joined Goodreads, it seemed like a good name. When looking for a profile picture, I came across this one of an Indian scout, and it spoke to me. Usually solitary like me, and always on the lookout in new territories. So, no, it's not me, but my great-grandfather was a Seminole, so there is some connection there. I've looked for this picture since and not been able to find it again. I look forward to the discussions here.
