The VikiD Truth

The Demon Who Liked Squares

Wed, 16 Sep 2026 05:51:34 +0000

I was lying in my favourite armchair doing absolutely nothing.

This is an activity I have perfected over many years.

There is a point, usually about twenty minutes in, when doing nothing ceases to feel like laziness and begins to feel philosophical. The body sinks into the chair. The mind, freed from productive activity, starts wandering into places it has no business going.

Vikid Truth and The Holy Grail

Sat, 25 Jul 2026 00:55:32 +0000

The Truth is an elusive concept. There had been many times in Vikid’s life when he thought he had found it — such is the confidence of young men. Like Indiana, he went on many adventures, only to find that the Holy Grail he sought served him sand, not everlasting life.

There are primarily three ways men have sought the Truth:

Religion (The way of the Heart)
Science (The way of the Mind)
Hedonism (The way of the Body)

Nolan’s Odyssey

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 09:01:54 +0000

Vikid was not a particularly smart hero. He had tried to read The Iliad by Homer several times. It always started with the best of intentions: he would begin, get a few chapters in, realize he was completely lost, and then lose interest as some other shiny object took his attention.

He couldn’t remember the names of all the characters, or figure out which god was who, who had which kid, etc., etc…

In Search for Maxima

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:16:28 +0000

Vikid hadn’t reviewed many business books in his career. One of the reasons being that he had stopped reading them…

Let’s be honest, we all kind of know what they are going to say. Like books on health and fitness, they all say the same things wrapped in different covers. Eat fresh, real foods, limit carbs, respect nutrient density, exercise for endorphins, avoid injuries, maintain perfect form, rest, etc…

Casandra

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 06:14:51 +0000

Casandra was a princesses of Troy, and Apollo, son of Zeus, had his eye on her. He promised her the gift of prophesy on the condition she would join him and get jiggy with it.

But thinking she was smart, she scorned him after receiving the gift. Apollo, being a God, had his own little tricks however. On learning of the deception, modified the agreement by just a little bit. He added an addendum… that while she kept her powers to see into the future, unfortunately nobody would ever believe her.

The End of Security

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 12:35:10 +0000

Vikid felt lost, each day felt like a trek through nebulous clouds of doubt, with no orientation and no semblance of a final destination.

He wondered aimlessly, tending to the most basic requirements, his children, his family and business interests within arms reach.

He tried to read but his attention was waning, he tried to talk to people but communication was inconsequential. When people can’t hear what you are saying, either directly or through metaphor, it is because you are at a non-resonant frequency. Your speech is like the ghostly rain of neutrinos, unapprehensible to the whole Earth.

Hostage

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 06:13:57 +0000

Certain dates get etched into our memories, Oct 7 is now one of them. It’s the date Eli Sharabi was abducted and taken hostage by Hamas terrorists into Gaza.

This book documents Eli’s journey from that day till his negotiated release.

It’s a story about survival under the most horrifying of circumstances. It’s about how one can dig deep to keep their senses under extreme pressure. It’s about true psychology, when all the theory is stripped of it’s academic scaffolding.

The Last Girl

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 08:08:46 +0000

The Iran War was a wake up call.

It was also a reminder to Vikid, that he had a sense of premonition. 3 months before each world changing event, he would grow weak with a looming depression. He told people about it, but they couldn’t understand, he always knew when something was cooking up. It happened with Covid, this time was no different.

It was also a form of recalibration and a separator of wheat & chaff. You got to see human behaviour when affronted with real danger. You got to understand who were friends, who were selfless and who would do anything to survive.

When the Pedal Hits the Metal

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 06:09:50 +0000

War was always something that I heard about on the news. A theory one could talk about, theorize over, form opinions on and intellectualize.

One could get nuanced about its ethics, sympathize with its victims, role play evacuation strategies and ask questions about the motives of its main proponents.

Then it comes to the edge of your own doorstep and you realize that it’s all horseshit. It’s like having a grand plan to avoid turbulence while sitting in seat 53E of economy.

The Hard Problem

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 09:16:27 +0000

Vikid was a smart man so he decided to embark on a simple investigation. He wanted to learn about the color Red.

He learnt that it was considered a Primary Color. Much like Prime Numbers in mathematics, any color whatsoever could be made using three Primary Colors at different intensities.

Though this made him feel smarter and was very useful information, the problem was it didn’t tell him anything about Red itself, only how to make other colors using Red.

The Hum

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 11:41:46 +0000

Silence is wonderful. Don’t you think?

I think that’s why we watch TV, it’s why we listen to podcasts. It’s why we read books.

Its also why we listen to music.

Because the world is noisy.

I first truly started to understand this after spending couple of weeks in Hawaii almost 10 years go. Then getting a gentle reminder to the fact here and there along the way.

The noise I am talking about isn’t exactly to do with sound. More accurately, it’s to do with a certain kind of vibration. Specifically the hum generated by electrical cables & equipment.

Out of Phase

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 06:58:35 +0000

He wakes up every morning. Bones and muscles ache. A nebulous haze envelops everything. He is not sure what it is, some knowing from within, inaccessible to his thought matrix, the intuition that something’s awry. That feeling of being out of phase with everyone by that slightest of margins. It is actually about 5 years. A part of him seemed to live 5 years in the future. Not much in the span of a human lifespan, and a sliver of history.

The Forever War

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 07:44:36 +0000

There are books that are read at the start of a literary journey and others that need time, maturity and experience before attempting.

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman is one of those that bucks the trend. I had the pleasure of reading this gem early in my sci-fi career, and then giving it another go this week.

Anhedonia

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 04:28:21 +0000

Depression.

“is a mood disorder characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest that significantly interferes with daily functioning. It usually involves symptoms such as low mood, reduced pleasure in activities, changes in sleep and appetite, low energy, difficulty concentrating, feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt, and sometimes thoughts of death or suicide, typically lasting at least two weeks to meet clinical criteria.”

At first he suspected it might be such. The post holiday blues.

Nutshell by Ian McEwan

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 04:57:17 +0000

How do you write about a book without giving anything away?

How do you convince a general audience to get out there, part with money, time and effort without telling them what it’s for?

No plot give aways, no setting of the stage, no premise, nada…

Just a simple, get out there, buy this book and read it.

Well, Vikid shall try…

For a start, for those concerned about the mechanics of reading, this book is not too long. Some two cent odd pages in a reasonable font with reasonable line spacing. If you passed through school, you should be fine. If you haven’t read in years, all the better, this a good one to start on. It’s in the Goldilocks zone.

2025

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 19:43:51 +0000

As the years pass each one bleeds into the other until there is nothing left other than the continuous present.

I have lost all sense of time. The future feels compressed, as though it has already passed, the past is not even a memory, it feels like something open, that my actions today change what actually happened years before.

2025 has seen the return of Vikid into the world of computing. There were days I was so lost in code that I forgot where or when I was. When people spoke to me it was as if they were someone interrupting a deep dream. A dream within dreams, Vikid was a character from the film. A character playing a character.

Can somebody today create an epic like that of the Mahabaratha?

Can we live is such an era that the greats are amongst us? The Buddha’s, the Vyasa’s, the Valmiki’s actually amongst us. Not in fiction and not in myth but with us, sharing the same space and time?

Digital Identity

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 04:58:09 +0000

Kier Starmer, Tony Blair, Larry Fink, amongst others want to digitize your Identity.

Whether you know what that means is irrelevant.

What Vikid does know was seen during a short era called “The Pandemic”.

What fear does.

What insane levels people will go to when they’re scared. How they will conform to almost any crazy action or rule and justify it to themselves later.

If you partook in that crime, only yourself and your soul know it.

Oversteering

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 08:39:26 +0000

Vikid was having trouble sleeping. It didn’t help that he was overdosing on Espressos throughout the day. The solution seemed simple.

Stop the espressos, meditate a little, do some exercise and eat well.

A real simple set of instructions that he just didn’t seem to be able to follow.

It reminded him of a few months before the pandemic. Around September 2019, he started to feel really disturbed. A premonition of some kind perhaps. That feeling lasted a full three years, peaking sometime near the end 2022.

Equality

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 05:07:03 +0000

The best ideas are simple.

=

That equals symbol, the bane of every student in every class room over the world.

Vikid grew up hating it, because usually it meant something hard had to be solved or something harder had to be understood.

You probably saw this one in high school. If you’re lucky, you got a chance to understand it.

The next one, undergraduate level, describes how fluids (liquids and gases) flow:

Turning Point

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 05:22:41 +0000

Vikid had been traveling for Business. He had put his sales hat on and was in a foreign city advocating for his companies good and services.

A new acquaintance, a friend of a friend had just taken him out for a lovely lunch in one of the cities trendy hotels. Fighting a food coma, he was sitting across from a potential customer when the phones around him started ringing. His colleague answered his mobile. There had been a bombing.

There’s one thing about reality that can be really challenging… It’s that it barely ever does what you think it’s going to do.

You can plan things, dream about things, work really hard towards it and in the last moment it falls apart.

For some people it could mean a cancer diagnosis, for others it’s a life partner who tells them they want to go their own way, or losing a job when you’ve got a huge mortgage and schools bills to pay. For some it their country going to war, some new tariff imposed or trade deal that renders your company useless, practically anything can happen and often does.

The Fretboard

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 12:21:20 +0000

Perhaps you are thinking about playing a musical instrument or it’s something you think you’d like to do but haven’t got the time. Or perhaps you’re a seasoned musician.

Whatever it is, when your a guitarist, at some point in time you have to get to grips with the fretboard.

At first you look upon it, this collection of six strings hoisted across a fretted neck and it makes no sense at all. Then you are shown your first set of chords, normally all in the open position with bizarre and unnatural finger positions…

Communication Break Down. Warning.

We are using words to communicate something non verbal. Warning.

Markings, squiggly lines, black etched on a white surface. Markings that signify a tokenized stream of sound, linearly encoded through the passage of time. Sounds emanating in your mind, as your eyes pass over them.

Serial by nature, each word follows the next, accruing meaning, accruing feelings.

Pause…

The meaning needs to be processed.

Superman 2025

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 13:32:46 +0000

Now Vikid had some rather interesting habits. If habits is what you call them. One such activity was the pursuit of Psychonautics. The altering of consciousness by technologies ancient and modern, through the use specialized techniques not known to many.

And so it happened that Superman had recently made a movie about himself. Vikid, being the Hero of Truth, had yet to star in a film but scoping the competition was another favorite hobby of his.

Living in the Garden of Eden

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 00:33:03 +0000

It seems that my life is dream. All the joy, love and turmoil, a figment of the great imagination. It fills the universe, inside and out, it quenches consciousness with a gorgeous light.

Life has been me with a guitar or mandolin in hand. Sitting in parks, under magnificent trees across glimmering lakes with old souls and young cheeky hearts.

Life has been listening to classical music at the Carnegie Hall with loved ones. Ethereal tones that transcend space, a hundred violins singing in concert, a thunderous drum. A harp plucking the air itself apart, harmonics in the quantum…

The Maintainer

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 11:42:56 +0000

All things need to be maintained. This was the slow realization confronting Vikid.

Like Christianity, in Hinduism we have a kind of trinity too… we have Bhrama the Creator, Vishnu the Maintainer, and Shiva the Destroyer.

Creation and Destruction are self marketing.

Whether you focus on the creative types, from Aristotle to Zuckerberg, or the destructive stuff, from the Atomic Bomb to Zelenskyy, not much needs to said to promote them. They draw us in by their sheer spectacle. We’re instantly hooked.

The MAGAvengers

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 05:46:55 +0000

Being a superhero isn’t easy. We have to go out each day and live like ordinary men and women. Then, when there’s an emergency or a calamitous event threatening the world, we’re called for our services. Ordinarily, no one knows who we are. There’s not a clue. It could be your neighbor or the garbage man who’s saved mankind from a world ending threat you’ve never heard about, or something as simple saving your cat stuck up in a tree in the middle of the night.

Auguries of Vikidness

Mon, 30 Sep 2024 04:27:48 +0000

He had spent such a long time searching for answers that at some point he figured out he’d forgotten the question.

The questions made no sense to him anymore. Each question presupposed what it was asking.

Where did we come from? Presupposes a bunch of things, an origin point, for one. And if we pointed to some location on the globe, or in a distant star cluster, what would it actually mean?

The Vikid Experience

Mon, 16 Sep 2024 04:12:21 +0000

Sometimes Vikid found it hard to write. Words are a medium and all mediums have their limitation. For example he could talk about redness but there was no red in the words. For the reader to understand what he was saying, they would have had to have the experience at least once before.

And what of Love?

God?

What of Multidimensionality?

Universes out side of this one?

And yet within it?

What of pure consciousness?

Uncluttered by thought.

Those things were hard to write about.

Creatures of Deception

Mon, 09 Sep 2024 04:09:05 +0000

“Do you know that our soul is composed of harmony?” - Leonardo da Vinci, A Treatise on Painting

At the heart of the human condition lies an open secret. Something we all know from within, like it’s etched in to our bones, encoded in our DNA, suffused with every breath of oxygen, at the very heart of it, we are Creatures of Deception.

In matters of the spirit, we call it faith. To enshrine your soul into some belief that you can’t justify any other way. For many it is the anchor that keeps them moored to the coastline of sanity. Without faith, they fear they will capsize into murky depths and take society with it.

A Loss for Words

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 19:33:26 +0000

Vikid was staring into a white page. Fear wrapped around his being, a lack of expression, a loss for words. Writers block.

It was like a nebula of depression had engulfed him. Nothing to say, a grey amorphous cloud… yet inside, he was a shaken up can of coke, bubbling with pent up desperation, a broken ring on the pull-tab, unable to open.

He sat beside the bath tub, guitar in hand and an old tune he forgot found its way through muscle memory onto the woven spiral of half oxidized strings, but the words to the song were missing. It was something about a butterfly opening up, the flower of the heart unfolding. An old Icelandic friend had taught it to him once in what seemed a different era. They had played guitar late into the night when words were freer flowing.

Observe

“In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind” - Louis Pasteur

Observe:

(credit to @ValEricaorAmy)

Are you prepared?

(Vikid wasn’t)

On the left we have the Great Financial Crisis of 2008. On the right we have Bidenomics or Kamunism or whatever you want to call it.

Though we all know it’s not their fault either, it is the system doing what the system does. Neither of them has the IQ, the commercial sense or economic experience to understand it. Their handlers are handling it. (We hope)

Easy Pickings

Mon, 02 Sep 2024 04:31:47 +0000

When you’ve read a few thousand books and scoured the internet daily for 20 years, it becomes genuinely difficult to find new ideas.

There are still some options, but the easy pickings seem far between.

Option 1 - Go deeper in.

Perhaps you’ve heard of Lagrangian Dynamics or the Calculus of Variations. Well one could dive right in to figure how it works in detail. The intuition of it however, is not so difficult. Or perhaps, you’ve heard about the microprocessor. Well, there is enough information out there to figure it out. In the case of microprocessors, Vikid realized, it was more like finding the Wizard of Oz, a silly man pulling some levers and flipping some switches. It popped his balloon to realize all of computing was essentially flipping switches.

Digging Holes

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 05:53:36 +0000

Deep in the Desert under the flowing lava of a red hot sun, people work. They labour in a blazing oven slapped around by abrasive winds, where a sandy terrain caves in as if to swallow you into its jaws like furnace.

It was Vikid’s pleasure or curse depending on however you looked at it, to lead these men, to motivate them and to ensure their good health while getting maximum productivity out of their every drop of sweat.

The Objective

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 11:50:02 +0000

Vikid hated it when people talked about “Western” and “Eastern” thought. Those huge expansive blobs and catch all that stemmed from the 19th Century Oriental projects.

But then he thought better of it. All discourse was based on some juxtaposition, the need for contrast without which we couldn’t distinguish a bowl of warm water from a thick creamy soup.

Where contrast couldn’t be found naturally, we created it artificially. That was the biggest contradiction in the Equity program. The further you tried to equalize people (especially by force or ideology) the more they would themselves react to maintain their differences, in one way or the other.

Spell Breaker

Thu, 22 Aug 2024 08:14:28 +0000

It was an art. He now understood the practice of meditation. He had abandoned it for many years as he had misunderstood what he was doing. Ah! The texts (and gurus) will mislead you, not out of spite, they just don’t know what they’re doing. They don’t know why either.

Vikid was in the mountains. A wet fog had descended into the valley, cloaking its inhabitants in a light rain. The air was still with intermittent spells of exquisite freshness. All was quiet except for the occasional drips of water from the windowsill, a flutter of feathers and the rustle of leaves in ancient conversations with each other.

The Ontology of the Unhuman

Sat, 17 Aug 2024 11:47:03 +0000

Vikid was a monster, voracious with the written word. He had consumed everything in sight and then some.

But once in a while something stood out that needed to be shouted from the roof top.

At first he had ignored this book. One, it seemed a little expensive. Two, it carried the names of Jack Posobiec, Joshua Lisec and Steven Bannon.

He really didn’t think they would have anything to say that he didn’t already know, just some more of the same rhetoric. He had listened to countless hours of their prattling.

A Warning

Fri, 16 Aug 2024 11:20:27 +0000

Vikid didn’t have a wide reach, barely a few dozen readers but it didn’t matter. We do what we do hopefully because we either must or we want to. In this particular case it was to warn you.

There is no vaccine against this Idiot Pox.

Its is closer to a death shot. A slow one at that.

If you take it, it is suicidal but if you let your children get it, it is beyond criminal. It is unadulterated sin.

The House

Wed, 14 Aug 2024 16:34:22 +0000

I have a good friend and we agree upon almost everything important, except for one thing, which is at the heart of everything.

The source of our major disagreement is based on a very old problem.

How much of what is going on in the world is intentional, versus how much is accidental.

To be more concrete, is there a cabal of some secret controllers guiding the economy, politics and world events like the pandemic, or is it a matter of chance, an accident of how the world is setup, the behavior of complex systems?

The Expanse

Tue, 13 Aug 2024 08:21:10 +0000

Vikid had been scarred by distraction. Even sleep provided little consolation. The mind had been in turmoil, thoughts like stones thrown into a crusher. A pulverized existence, which was neither happy nor sad, fine sand, baked under a white hot sun, suspended in a dessert storm.

With no bearing, he found it hard to work or connect with others. He poured himself into books, stories in stars far away, searching for some answers. Alas, the solution was not in some neutron star or alien goo. Though many hints were passed along the way.

The Virus

Sun, 11 Aug 2024 18:32:41 +0000

Vikid awoke from a bad dream. He’d been rather straight and writing politically. He preferred the high of alternate realities. A glass of Red. The Sweet Mary Jane. Ket-amine. 5 Dimethyltryptamine.

Neuromancer, he had just unplugged. Surfing cyberspace, intermingling with some higher intelligence.

It occurred to him that he had been waltzing with the demon, deep inside that other dimension. Between the rift that separates reality from imagination.

The demon was capitulation.

Unmoored at Sea

Sun, 11 Aug 2024 04:24:36 +0000

I read a novel recently, Prophet Song by Paul Lynch. An interesting take on the refugee crisis with a twist. It’s based in Ireland and something dystopian happens there. I don’t want to say more because I want you to read it.

I read it without any backstory, no knowledge on the author or what he was trying to achieve. It was an impulse buy at the Airport.

The funny thing is, I came out of the novel concluding the very opposite of what the author, I eventually figured out, was trying to convey.

Boundary Condition

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 04:15:16 +0000

Physics is full of equations. The truth is they don’t tell you much (about the real world) until you set the boundary conditions.

Take the simplest of equations

Y = mX + C

It’s says nothing further than linearity. It is free floating.

It’s only when you actually find and set ‘m’ & ‘C’ that the equation can be used to actually solve anything.

There is a deep philosophical implication to this simple observation. It applies to everything of consequence, every idea that follows a prescribed formula or rules, like Logic, which is the base of all thinking.

Event Horizon

Fri, 09 Aug 2024 12:14:18 +0000

On Portals and Cattle

Some movies can change your life. Event Horizon, a 1997 film, was one of them. It starts off innocently enough, like any other sci-fi, a space ship, a rather quirky crew sent to investigate a research ship that’s gone silent.

Somewhere along the line you realize sci-fi is definitely not what you’re in for, it’s something entirely different.

What’s different leaves you shaking from hours to days but in a way it never leaves you.

Comeuppance

Sun, 04 Aug 2024 21:08:09 +0000

What goes around, comes around.

There’s a saying, what goes around, comes around.

The people of the subcontinent called it Karma and as much as codified it in their religions.

Newton later mathematized it, giving it a precise physical meaning, Action = Reaction.

The Chinese have a similar concept of Yin and Yang. Though not quite exactly the same it has additional meanings. It captures the ebb and flow of fate, the fact that the seeds of growth and destruction are within themselves.

Pulp Fiction

Sun, 04 Aug 2024 06:05:33 +0000

I used to enjoy clever writing, high IQ stuff. I used to enjoy subtle nuance, breakthroughs in thought, that sudden “aha!” of an unanticipated reveal. I used to enjoy lofty prose and literary excellence. I used to enjoy lots of numbers and squiggles preaching about how the universe began.

Mental Master-bation.

But times change.

There’s something pure in plain talk. Direct engagement and stories that have been told for a thousand years. It’s the reason we can watch Robin Hood again and again though we know the story a hundred times over. It’s the joy of just sitting with your cat who says nothing at all.

Meat Suit

Sat, 03 Aug 2024 12:57:35 +0000

He opened his eye, situated himself and then closed them again.

Slow down, think, slow down, be clear.

Why was he here, what is this meat suit? Its constant urges, desires, wants, niggles. A stream of discomfort plaguing the consciousness.

He tried to clear his mind but it was filled with sound, the necessity of breathing, a pang of hunger, and the pull of duty.

How had he ended up here in this particular situation, a brain half awake, a consciousness disembodied, timeless.

The Capacity to take Pain

Fri, 05 Jul 2024 05:29:03 +0000

It was a cool summer morning in the desert. Vikid got himself some coffee and headed to work.

Something turned up on his feed…

He wasn’t too concerned with “achieving greatness” though what Mr. Dyson said, resonated strongly.

And, it wasn’t about “excellence” either.

It was the capacity to take pain.

The capacity for a loved one to look at you coldly, like you’re a failure, to accuse you of being absent or not caring, to say things deeply hurtful, and yet, to have the capacity to do what needs to be done.

The Poem

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 08:39:44 +0000

Rat Race

Heavenly Place

In a Dream

Mistaken for Reality

All the Glory

Is so Gory

Wake up my Sweet

Superhero of Truth

There was time, one summer ago, The Superhero of Truth awoke from a dream.

He was sitting on a thick rug covered in a soft blanket. The air was cool, the sun had just risen washing the world with a golden light.

Vikid sat cross legged in an unlit room, ornamental rays peaking through bamboo blinds like shards of yellow jade crisscrossing the room.

The Mafioso and the Skater Boy.

Sun, 23 Jun 2024 02:39:33 +0000

It was pure turbulence. Vikid was being hammered from all directions heading straight into the storm.

He realized then and there that everything had a tendency to fall apart and that the tendency was not only strong, it was active. It took real leadership to keep things together. That was the critical missing factor in the world today. The cohesive glue had been lost, real leadership had been diluted, replaced by morons, corrupt morons.

In-visible

Thu, 20 Jun 2024 04:21:01 +0000

Have you ever noticed that the only thing visible in our universe is actually totally invisible.

That’s what was passing through the mind of Vikid early one morning.

Light, that glorious thing that no one could quite work out, what was it? A wave or particle? Particle of what? Waving in what?

It was enigma that made looking at the majesty of fireworks possible, that were the stars in the night sky, the sun which allowed plants to grow, the ultimate source of our food. It was how your smart phone got the internet, how satellites communicated and how you were reading this article, right now.

Mind Change & World Breaking

Fri, 14 Jun 2024 12:10:24 +0000

Sometimes changing your mind about something can be really informative.

Watching the process of how the mind changes.

The first thing to notice is that it is almost impossible to change someone else’s mind. What we fail to fully realize consequently, is that the same is true for ourselves. You can’t change your own mind. But it does change by itself. And you can start to notice it, if you’re paying enough attention.

The Emperor’s General

Sun, 09 Jun 2024 02:24:15 +0000

The Vikid Truth had hatched a little plan.

He visited an old business competitor who had stopped competing with him for a few years.

You see the story went like this…

The competitor was owned by a large distinguished family with an empire the size of a small country. The competitor was doing well, much better than Vikid’s outfit, in fact.

But one fine day the Emperor got bored and decided to put this business on hold. He didn’t close the business. He just hit the pause button. The core team was kept intact, they were employed at full pay.

The Truth is Wicked

Fri, 31 May 2024 04:50:02 +0000

The Vikid Truth was lying in his favorite armchair. It had been a long few months of living in a surreal jungle. A jungle of corporate backstabbing, interdepartmental cold wars, megalomania, suppression, favoritism and pure lies.

Within that melee there had been some significant victories (surprisingly) and some significant setbacks.

He opened his phone and saw his best friends had sent him some news on the chat.

“Trump Convicted on all 34 Counts”

Artificial Ignoramus’s

Tue, 28 May 2024 04:51:46 +0000

“The Internet is turning to shit”, that’s what Vikid had been thinking.

At first it had just been a whiff of something sweet, the distinct smell you learn to recognize as a new parent. Your little bundle of joy, fresh as an alpine meadow, starts to emit something that needs urgent attention and a clean up operation.

The experienced parent takes care of things quickly. It’s vital to avoid nappy rash and a very irate baby. The new mum and dad often have to learn the hard way…

The Maze

Mon, 27 May 2024 05:34:41 +0000

It’s true. The maze is inside you. What’s not so easy to see, is there is no real distinction between what’s “inside” you and what’s “outside” you, not withstanding your instinct screaming otherwise.

Some philosophers have likened the condition to a mirror. The outside world just reflects your inner condition. Though the common rat thinks the opposite, his conception is just the reverse. He blames the maze for his problems.

Bulking and Cutting

Sat, 25 May 2024 06:31:13 +0000

Every body builder knows that in the pursuit of a perfect body there can only be two phases, bulking and cutting.

Similarly, Superheroes phaseshift for maximum impact. Batman retreats to his cave and The Vikid Truth into his books. After deep contemplation and spiritual renewal they emerge to face the demons. Strong than before. Batman with his Batmobile and gadgets, Vikid with a pen and paper, these days, more or less, a virtual keyboard on a smartphone.

That Which Moves

Sun, 25 Feb 2024 13:22:14 +0000

Animist.

This what I have become, for I believe that Spirit is behind every movement. Nothing moves without spirit. Or even better, Spirit is the movement.

If you slow down for a moment and simply follow your breath, you will find this is true.

I’ve been partying in Delhi the last couple of days. The place just rocks. It’s got a great vibe. And last night, some random Italian guy gave me the Sermon on the Mount in a noisy club.

Wake the F up and grow a spine.

Wake the F up, you’ve voted wrong ur whole life.

Wake the F up, what’s happening to your children?

Wake the F up, the rat race is for rats.

He hadn’t written or read much in days. Most of the time he was lost in thought and if not he was playing with his collection of guitars.

At times it felt like he was on the verge of a breakthrough, and at other times it felt his fingers were made of lead.

Afterglow & Assimilation

Mon, 27 Nov 2023 05:09:30 +0000

The Vikid was relaxing in his armchair, in this case it was the passenger seat of a Land Cruiser on a early Friday morning. The rising sun was slowly asserting his dominance as the darker blues in the sky said adieu.

Vikid loved the gold, how it seared your retina and left an afterglow. This artifact held many secrets if you spent time to examine it.

People had simply stopped reading, though more books than ever were being published. Most authors would write a masterpiece, their life’s dreams, and would be lucky if 50 people read it.

The Observer

Fri, 24 Nov 2023 04:22:06 +0000

He spent a large part of the day observing himself. A creature behind a window gazing upon an autonomous body. A mind attached, that raged all on its own. Every once in a while he forgot about the window and became the body and that mind that raged on its own. After a while he would slip out again, back behind the window, observing.

He was a thoughtless creature. At once, with access to every idea and sensation the body had ever felt or would feel but at the same time with no thoughts of his own. He just observed.

Slaying the God-Beast (Part 1)

“The fundamental cause for trouble is that in the modern world, the stupid are cocksure, while the intelligent are full of doubt.” - Bertrand Russell

It had been a ruthless decade. Incidentally, it had all started with his fathers demise, 10 years earlier. An event that had led to catalytic growth. However he had to learn the hard way that growth doesn’t come for free or without consequences. The first in a long chain of events is the pruning process.

A Billions Years of Science or Worship Will Never Find It

“We can no more experience the world ‘prediction and expectations free’ than we could surf without a wave” - The Experience Machine

A few moons ago under the cool breeze of an east coast sky, I dissolved into the everything. I was whisked away from the universe and became the dreamer with a thousand lovers. I surveyed all of time, a Construct, and fell in love with myself and all my myriad faces. I became space and something else beyond it. Both everything and nothing. I became the paradox at the heart of creation. Out of time, I slowly slipped back in, as I could slowly feel the weight of reality taking its grip and the dream reasserting itself into an identity. I had become The Vikid Truth and the Being that had inhabited this body before that.

The Coincidence Of Opposites

Mon, 25 Sep 2023 03:35:56 +0000

Our world, whatever it is, seems to be built upon the interplay of opposites.

Thought becomes Matter,

Mass is Energy,

1 vs 0,

Selfishness as Virtue,

Something vs Nothing,

Up is Down,

Big Bang to Black Hole,

Randomness is Deterministic.

It’s the combination of electric and magnetic fields (both immaterial), that produce light, the enigmatic substance that is both wave and particle. These interplays often manifest themselves as paradoxes. Impossibilities creating the possible.

The Juicy Place

Sun, 24 Sep 2023 03:48:31 +0000

“Just sitting with discomfort, without trying to escape or numb it in anyway, without exception, without a goal in mind, without seeking anything, including some abstract notion of “comfort” —that’s the juicy place, the place of creative transformation, the place where newness shines” — Jeff Foster, The Way of Rest

Advice that is so simple and yet so hard to follow. It seems to get at the core of everything.

The Province of Quacks

Sat, 23 Sep 2023 04:43:59 +0000

“What is Illusion?”, the Sri Sri Mahavikid Maharishi asked to the legion of Superhereos sitting quietly in attendance.

The space was mellow, everything about it soft, from the cool light to the sweet evening breeze, fresh with the scent of mountain flowers.

Vikid was sitting next to his favorite friend, the goldy-locked, blue eyed, Hercules. Hercules had a glowing presence, where Vikid sat crossed legged, straight and still, Hercules preferred to lay on his side supported by his elbows. He like to move around, to stretch and hold impossible positions like a Shaolin master.

Brand

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 03:55:32 +0000

Unless you have been living under a rock and undoubtedly some of you are, you would have heard about a certain Russell Brand and the accusations surrounding him.

Brand is an enigma, he is simultaneously both a minor and major celebrity. A highly controversial figure that some people love and some people hate. People find him very funny and highly intelligent or very annoying and a braggadocio, in fact, that’s what he’s most famous for. He sports the look of a rock star (and sex / drug life to match) and he speaks with a working man’s accent while shooting multisyllabic words like some Oxford philosophy professor. His politics are strongly left leaning, which made him a darling of the mainstream media but recently he had some Come-to-Jesus moment in which he appeared to be waking up and completely changed his life.

The Palmisano Effect

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 03:26:18 +0000

There’s a guitar teacher out there that everyone should know, whether you play the instrument or not. His name is Michael Palmisano.

He started out by mixing Guitar Instruction with Reaction videos. Ultra Creative Magic. Today, he does a lot of entrepreneurial stuff. He has a website with a large community of music fans, he teaches others how to build online businesses as well, he discusses culture and other subjects. I’ve become a lifetime member of his club (@guitargate), it’s not very expensive for what you get. Damn good value for money in fact.

“Humans must be the only animals who build zoos for themselves.” - The Fifth Science

The Sage of Sages, the Guru of Guru’s was sitting cross legged. Sri Sri Mahavikid Maharishi’s spine was erect and his glowing white beard matched the alabaster of his pure cotton garb. His eyes were dark brown with a cheeky glint, hinting of hidden knowledge but on occasion it is as if they reflected the calm and innocence of a fawn nestling with her mother.

“Never accept a story for how it first appears to be. Stories are dangerous things, and they can trick you so bad that you don’t know who you are anymore” - An Old Man, Carrier Wave

Vikid, The Hero of Truth, was laying down on his favorite chair. He had spent a month freely flowing in the Wild West. Now he was back in the desert facing reality. He had plugged back into the Matrix and it had been a rude awakening.

Levels of Truth & The Aggregate

(This post is best read with a strong Indian accent)

Action = Reaction,

What goes around comes around,

What you sow, you will reap.

There is no free lunch… (Mon Capitan)

Do unto others,

as you would have them do unto you,

F’ck around, find out…

Karma Karma (Chameleon).

From Newton to Hinduism, these are old Truths. Some call it Natural Law. The inescapable machinations of our universe. Cast in Iron and unbreakable.

Naturally Occult

Mon, 28 Aug 2023 09:02:41 +0000

“Whenever there is a simple problem that laymen fall for, there is always a slightly more sophisticated version of the same problem that experts fall for.” - Amos Tversky

It is not an uncommon sight these days, to see people stuck looking at their mobile screens as the world passes by them. In fact, it’s a cliche.

This is a metaphor for spirituality and all that is.

The wonders and grandeur of the world are available at all times but our focus is elsewhere. You attend church or temple, buy books, listen to the next preacher, yogi or self-help guru in vogue, worship at his feet, while he tells you some finely worded bullshit. We have channelers speaking to the Pleiadians. Empaths accessing the Akashic records. Flat-Earthers & Globers, all keeping themselves and you confused.

The Noticing

Tue, 22 Aug 2023 15:32:24 +0000

Have you ever wondered about how you notice things? Why it is that you see what you do, while others see other things.

It first came to my attention as I observed my dad. He just seemed to know things that a person ordinarily shouldn’t. He would know what was happening behind the curtains in private business rooms. The things the big movers and shakers were talking about and planning but I knew that he wasn’t part of those discussions. He also wasn’t in the habit of gossiping, he just had the ability to notice these things us ordinary mortals didn’t.

Return of the Mack

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 15:33:49 +0000

It may not be long now, summer is drawing to a close and you have been given a taste of freedom. Don’t get too comfortable though. If I was a fisherman, you would be the fish, still on the reel, temporarily allowed some respite in the game of tug and war, oblivious to what is coming.

As far as I can see, most of the people around me are that fish. Same brains and memory too. They have all but forgotten the pandemic. Like some old war trauma, they’ve decided to bury it deep in their psyche’s. Some of them have gone so far as to develop a type of Stockholm syndrome, loving their oppressors.

Adventures and Miracles

Tue, 15 Aug 2023 18:46:27 +0000

It had been a month of highs and lows. Highs with family. Enjoying paradise with your children, their mother, Grand Parents, in a multi-generational harmony is just fabulous. Swimming in pristine waters, befriending turtles, octopi, eating clean fruits plucked moments before and breathing fresh air, has a way to totally reset the system. That’s how my month began.

Then, there was the connection with old family that had been lost for a good 5 years. Misunderstandings and living on opposite sides of the globe had turned us apart. There was some real healing and mending of old wounds, without forcing it. Just spending time with loved ones and allowing nature to do the rest. Being patient with life.

The Diary of a CEO

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 01:24:27 +0000

Just a quick one today. An interview with Russell Brand.

I’ve always had a kind of love / hate relationship with the guy. He’s clearly got quite a brilliant mind but there’s something off about him too.

Maybe that’s just the way it goes sometimes.

If you have time, give this a listen. I’m fairly sure you won’t be disappointed.

And that’s,

The Vikid Truth

As a short bonus. Here’s a 10 minute primer on world commodities. A little realpolitik to contrast with Russell’s Dreamy Balls. You have to be able to hold both realities in your heart and mind.

From Charm to Riches

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 18:23:24 +0000

I met a very interesting man yesterday. His story is not quite rags to riches but close enough.

The guy did it, not through some internet get quick rich scheme. There was no AI or Crypto involved. No consultancy fees. No new technology. No rich dad behind him.

He did it through bottling tap water.

The water isn’t even fancy. It doesn’t claim to be anything that it’s not. There is no false advertising on the label either.

Try That in a Small Town

Sat, 22 Jul 2023 20:21:32 +0000

As a musician, I would like to make some commentary.

I am not such a good one. But the there comes some advantages of being one, no matter the talent.

You get to understand poetry. You tend to analyze it, break it down, analyze other people’s work as an artisan.

That’s why I recommend every becomes an artist. No matter the talent.

Vikid is the most talentest artist out there. And he is proud of it. Like the idiot off X Factor. Only he is aware of it.

From Fish to Destroyer

Sat, 22 Jul 2023 06:02:44 +0000

We are curious creatures. The Vikid Truth was a particularly curious one. Consider the picture:

It’s a devotional piece of art curated by Chaya Tanjore. Vikid grew up with such pictures all around him.

These are the 10 Avatars of Lord Vishnu. That’s the 10 forms God takes as he descends from the Heavenly realms to come and live on Earth at critical periods in its history.

It’s a standard Hindu Mythology. How you choose to believe or not believe is completely up to you. This post is not an evangelical sermon.

The Infodemic

Fri, 21 Jul 2023 02:57:02 +0000

If you haven’t heard about the infodemic, you’re probably info-anemic.

Let Dr. Vikid, MD and PhD in Truth, cure you.

Don’t worry, it’s just a little crimson pill, and you won’t lose your job or holiday privileges if you take it.

You can read about it, right here, certified by The World Health Organization (WHO):

This doctor always brings you fact-checked, peer reviewed, double blind studied, safe and effective news.

That Which Gives

Wed, 19 Jul 2023 06:15:28 +0000

If you’ve ever studied accounting and by extension any economics you find that it’s predicated on the basic concept of:

Somethings give while other things consume.

The slight complication being that almost everything does both. In order to give, you need to first consume. The question is, do you give more than you consume, or vice versa?

(Politics is just the study and application of who gets what, after the fact)

You decide…

“Man is nourished by the invisible. Man is nourished by that which beyond personal. He dies from preferring the opposite” -Jacques Lusseyran

Last week I tried to send money to a friend in need. The pandemic, or shall we say, the resulting policy decisions, decimated his restaurant business in the UK which he had been running successfully for a decade. He had to close it down and move countries to make ends meet. The bank residing in the UK rejected the transfer. They didn’t bother telling him either. He had to chase it down and then they returned it to me.

That Sinking Feeling

Mon, 17 Jul 2023 02:01:59 +0000

“Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly” - G.K Chesterton in Peter Hollins’, Think Less; Do More

The quote inspired me to write this post, even though I didn’t feel like it.

The other quote, and I am paraphrasing here, is from Garrain Jones. It goes something like this:

“You may be an expert at brushing your teeth. You may have read all the books. You may have brushed your teeth for 35 years straight… but the day you stop, you will start stinking.”

Pure (Like The Water)

Sun, 16 Jul 2023 05:21:45 +0000

Sometimes we just need to sing & chill in the appreciation of life.

Last week my guitar teacher introduced me to a song by an Artist called Shimai.

It’s only when I sat with the song that I truly appreciated it for the genius it is.

First the chords & lyrics:

Pure by Shimai 

[Verse 1]
 
 G D Em
Pure, pure like the water
 C G
let it run forever more
 G D 
to be clean, clean as the waves come 
 Em C
crashing to the shore, it leaves me
 G D Em 
Smooth, smooth as a pebble polished in the 
 C
depth of love and
 G D Em
carried by the winds of grace
 C G
on the wings of a dove
 
[Solo]
 
G D Em C
 
[Verse 2]
 
 G D Em
So shine, shine as a diamond
 C G
projects the light of One
G D 
from the source we are sent through the 
 Em
center
 C G
as the moon reflects the sun
G D Em
arise and awake from your slumber
 C G
kindle the ancient flame
G D Em
as witness to the waves of what's to change
 C G D Em 
though the essence remains the same
C
 
[Repeat]
 
 C G D Em
All eyes agaze
 C G D Em
All fades away
 C G D Em
All lies within
 C G D Em
And all finds a way
 C G
Love is the way

Like all devotional music, it really shines when you play it yourself. If you don’t play an instrument, then you can sing it. Highly recommended.

The Book Scout and His Mystical Kingdom

Sat, 15 Jul 2023 04:41:53 +0000

It isn’t kosher to recommend or review a book without reading it. However, that’s what I am going to do.

Like being a scout at a local school trial, you just know when a kids got it. I had that same feeling when I first saw Alcaraz. That boy was going to be a phenomenal Tennis player. Sometimes you just know.

So it goes with this book.

So far, I’ve just read the first story, not even the entire chapter. It starts off with Ian Taylor, the founder of Vitol, the world’s largest commodity trader. It begins with a plane’s plunging descent into Benghazi, where a deal is made that changes history. I thought I was well informed. Guess not. Never heard about this guy, never understood how these things worked.

A Date With Destiny

Fri, 14 Jul 2023 01:42:52 +0000

“Weltinnenraum”

I found this word (within a poem written by Maria Rilke) in a wonderful book called, “Against the Pollution of the I”. Such a beautiful word, so quintessentially Germanic. Directly translated it means, world/inner/space, or the Inner Space of the World. When the whole world is inside you.

The books starts off about a clinically deaf girl who could nonetheless hear, wild… but it only gets better from there. Jacques Lusseyran, the author, was blinded by a freak accident as a child but nevertheless could to see. At the age of 15, this sightless boy led a resistance of 600 people against the Nazi’s from his home in Paris. Eventually he was caught. For the crime, he was tortured for half a year and then sent to a concentration camp. The Gestapo couldn’t get anything out of him. Of the thousands of people sent there, only 30 made it out. This blind bat was one of them.

The Golden Ticket

Thu, 13 Jul 2023 04:09:09 +0000

I believe all thinking happens before words. Words are a reflection (of something more real) but sometimes we have a bad mirror and we see a distortion.

When you think, words spill out into your consciousness but we don’t know where they come from.

When you read them, as you are doing now, the reverse is in progress. Words spill in but how they are processed is a mystery.

Who Got All the Pies?

Wed, 12 Jul 2023 03:32:02 +0000

I’ve always been a sucker for clarity. I got to know how something works. As a kid, I was fascinated by how people made cartoons, so I tried to build a projector to play my own movies. That one was hard. I used cardboard for the box, a torch for a light source, the tube of plastic (or was it bog roll?) and tracing paper wrapped around it, as film. I hadn’t quite worked out the need for lenses yet but I found out soon enough. Alas, I never got the thing working properly but it was a valuable lesson in animation (and also in not taking things for granted).

Phase Shift into Truth

Tue, 11 Jul 2023 04:32:18 +0000

Consider:

It’s a sequence that we can continue as long as we like. A precursor to the Harmonic Series. You may notice that each number (in the sequence) is bigger than next, however each subsequent (hence smaller) number is actually made up of a larger number (called the denominator).

The small, is made of the large. The very small is made similarly, of the very large.

A mouthful but just high school math.

Category Error

Mon, 10 Jul 2023 02:58:55 +0000

Consider the questions:

“What is the weight in grams of Catholicism?”

“What is the marital status of the Number 5?”

These would be an examples of a category error and seem reasonable enough from a grammatical sense. It would make sense to any English speaker but… hang on… In what sense can you ask about a number’s marital status? Or the weight in grams of a system of religion.

Sitting with My Guitar

Sun, 09 Jul 2023 04:04:15 +0000

Credit to @biohacker (Instagram) for the image.

In an alternate universe, I might have been named Mr. Butter Fingers, because, try as I might, my digits generally have a mind of their own and leave me feeling quite clumsy.

I have no real understanding why, under such predicament, I finally settled on the Guitar as my chosen instrument but it is not for a lack of trying.

My first serious choice (age 8) was the flute but it just wasn’t for me. My teacher begged me not to quit but I was insolent. Nothing new here.

The Crystallization of Sound

Sat, 08 Jul 2023 04:34:24 +0000

First, some atmospheric sound, mixed with nostalgia, old and new, intertwined…

Second,

Words can be so delicious, take ‘robust’, the way it rolls off the tongue and bursts forward from the lips.

Or ‘ephemeral’, the way it floats on your breath, almost disappearing as soon as it is uttered but not quite, it hangs in the air like condensed matter, a ghostly hologram.

Words are crystalline sound, they shimmer and sparkle, they channel the light of consciousness, showering the mind in prismatic colors.

Thug Life: Shouting from the Roof Tops

Fri, 07 Jul 2023 06:29:24 +0000

I was born to a world when Michael Jackson was the man. I grew up in the MTv generation. As far as I know, I swallowed it whole and loved every minute of it. Tupac was my all time hero and I still remember spending an idyllic summer in the New England Countryside, lush trees and perfect lawns, when he was shot and taken down.

In those days, I filtered the world through the lyrics of Rap and the beats of Hiphop. It was all about “keeping it real” and drinking “Hennessy”, though I had very little experience in either.

The Nature of Lies

Wed, 05 Jul 2023 08:57:41 +0000

A Little Foundation.

The worst part of any philosophical discussion, not that I want to start one here, is the defining of terms. You see words and concepts are not stationary things, definitions change over time, they are conceived of differently by different groups, cultures, languages, the level of technology in possession, the state of science, and in fact each mind that contemplates it, has it’s own idiosyncrasies.

But somehow if anything is to be said at all, we have to come to some agreement implicitly or explicitly.

Seeing Clearly

Tue, 04 Jul 2023 11:29:56 +0000

I remember the day I got my first set of glasses and I remember why.

I was 16, on holiday out of boarding school and had just discovered the joys of PC gaming. After many hours of effort, assiduously copying floppy after floppy disk and playing with the cryptic Windows Registry, I got Sim City running. It was a revolution in game playing, a simulator based on building townships into major cities. As a player, you were the fictional Mayor of an undeveloped piece of land, who got to choose where housing projects were erected and where, you had to learn about zoning, supplying utilities, energy, industry, public transportation and much more. I played the game all night, every night on a tiny CRT monitor in the dark. A few weeks of strained eyes later, I noticed the world start to blur slowly, a few months later, I got my first set of spectacles.

The Third Eye

Sat, 01 Jul 2023 05:47:51 +0000

“So you see, my dear Coningsby, that the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.”

Benjamin Disraeli

Who rules the world and is it ruled at all?

Some liken it an Octopus, an alien brain with it’s many tentacles of power, others say it resembles a spider, a multi-eyed, multi-legged and multi-fanged monster that weaves an intricate web.

The Genius Within

Mon, 19 Jun 2023 08:06:55 +0000

I have always been a sucker sales gimmicks on the internet.

It started early in life before the internet even existed but since then, my addiction to quick sales schemes has been in hyperdrive.

It’s not that I don’t understand that I am being sold an elaborate lie, otherwise known as horse-shit. I know it very well, its just that I enjoy the process of buying the next amazing course that will take my skills to next level guru.

Thought vs Randomness

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 12:56:11 +0000

It’s a cliché that every Spiritualist weaves with every breath,

“Everything is connected”

It comes only second to,

“It’s all Energy…”

“Frequency and Waves”

And perhaps a nod to Einstein, most certainly an appeal to,

“Quantum Fluctuations”

In contention we have the scientifically minded, Materialists.

Their greatest bug is the appeal to:

“Evolution”

Everything relates to how we survived the

“Lions in the Savanah”

Or the,

Some days History (with a capital H) is made and today, we have a particular gentleman by the name of Novak Djokovic to thank for that.

The very first tennis matches I grew watching were on a glorious summer holiday in London, just off Hyde Park. It was 1985, prime Wimbledon era and Boris Becker took the title that year at the age of 17. I was 6 and totally fell in love with the sport of Tennis (though I would only play it several years later). Incidentally Novak was about the same age when he first dreamt about winning the championship himself.

Mad Hatter or Hammer

Wed, 03 May 2023 15:53:12 +0000

To a Hammer, it is said that everything looks like a Nail.

To a Deep Thinker every thought needs analysis.

To a “Go Getter”, every possibility becomes something to be acted upon.

To a Programmer, its all just one giant algorithm.

To the Spiritualist, everything is suffused with the ineffable.

To the Christian, Jesus is everywhere.

I suspect you are seeing a pattern here.

To the Pessimist, all the world and everything in it, is doom.

The Inhibitor Function

It was a calm day. Vikid had slept well. His dreams though a distant vanished memory, had been rich and vibrant, that much he could remember….

The brain, as we observe, is this exclusively structured piece of gloop within your skull. It’s made of specialized cells called nerves and these nerves extend out to all parts of your body, whether it’s your eyes, ears, teeth or little toes.

The Great Hydration Quest

Thu, 13 Apr 2023 12:53:25 +0000

The Vikid Truth sat up high upon a rocky outcrop gazing at the valley below as he thought about embarking on another water fast. This time it would have to be fun, which would he choose?

“Intermittent H2O Delight”: This is like a little dance with your water bottle, where you sip on water and skip the snacks for a set number of hours each day. It’s like a game of “beat the clock” with your hunger, and you get to break the fast with a delicious meal during your eating window. It’s like a culinary adventure where you get to explore different flavors and cuisines guilt-free!
“Short & Sweet Sip-a-thon”: This is like a mini-vacation for your digestive system, where you give it a break for a few days to a week. It’s like hitting the reset button on your eating habits and giving your body some much-needed R&R. Plus, you can challenge yourself to come up with creative ways to enjoy plain ol’ water, from cucumber-infused to lemon-squeezed!
“The Great Hydration Quest”: This is like embarking on an epic journey to discover the wonders of hydration! You’ll sip on water like a pro, tracking your intake and feeling like a hydration superhero. It’s like unlocking the secret power of H2O and watching your body thank you with improved energy levels and glowing skin. Cheers to the elixir of life!
“The Dry Spell Dilemma”: This is like going on an adventure without a water bottle, where you brave the challenge of abstaining from both food and water. It’s like a daring feat that requires careful planning and monitoring to avoid becoming a shriveled-up raisin. But hey, it’s a unique experience that might leave you feeling like a desert nomad with stories to tell!
“The Odd-Even Fasting Frenzy”: This is like a quirky game of fasting tag, where you alternate between fasting and feasting days. It’s like a culinary seesaw, where you get to indulge in your favorite foods on one day and then go “water warrior” on the next. It’s like a fun way to mix things up and keep your taste buds guessing!
“The Refeeding Rollercoaster”: This is like a foodie adventure after a prolonged fast, where you gradually reintroduce solid foods to your diet. It’s like a delicate dance of slowly reintroducing your taste buds to the pleasures of chewing and savoring different textures. It’s like a culinary renaissance where you appreciate every bite like never before!

Prototypal Inheritance

Prototypal Inheritance

hidden property [[Prototype]] - null or a reference to other object

prototype obj
 ^
 | [[Prototype]]
 |
 obj

When we read a property from object, and it’s missing, JavaScript takes it from the prototype obj.__proto__ can be used to set it

let earphones = { speakers: 2 };

let jbl = { bluetooth: true };

jbl.__proto__ = earphones; // sets jbl.[[Prototype]] to earphones

Copy each block. Read it, then copy from memory. Check spellings. Use google translate or equivalent if you don’t understand anything.

Bonan tagon! Mia nomo estas Laura.
Mi estas la prezidantino de la Esperanto-klubo Bonvenon.

Saluton! Mi estas Petro, kaj Lauxra estas mia fratino,
kaj ni du kunfondis la klubon
Ni estas gefratoj.

Mi logxas kun nia patrino kaj al mi placxas videoludi kaj rokmuziko.

Mi vivas kun nia patro, mi sxatas legi kaj danci.

Ses monatojn antauxe ni sciis nenion pri Esperanto, kaj nun ni fondis klubon!

Ni volas rakonti al vi kiel ni malkovris cxi tiun lingvon.

In the days before Vikid was the Truth, he read a lot of Popular Science. Books by the likes of Richard Dawkins, Sean Carol, Roger Penrose and many many others. He studied computing and mathematics in order to keep up with what the leading edge of Science was tackling. He read the popular press, periodicals like The New Scientist and the Scientific American, which reported on some of the latest developments and he felt very proud of himself.

The Tao of Esperanto Verse 1

Wed, 29 Mar 2023 06:28:54 +0000

The Vikid Truth was satisfied. The Tao of Esperanto would commence on this cloudy day. All was calm at the office. He realized his Esperanto skills were not up to the task, so rather than give up in frustration, he used Google Translate. He would translate manually at first but then check against the AI translator. The AI was clearly better but not without its mistakes. So it really was true, it takes two to Tango!

Freewill or Freewon’t?

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 05:57:47 +0000

Freewill, does it exist or not? Could you choose to go left or right in the situation above or is the decision predetermined? Give it a try. Choose!

Vikid was thinking that perhaps this is the ultimate question, as without it, we were just cogs in a large machine. With it, we were something rather more special, something magical, embued with a soul, spirit or something even more fantastical.

The Joy of Brayer

Mon, 27 Mar 2023 06:01:34 +0000

If anyone has heard The Vikid Truth sing they know it isn’t a pretty thing.

Yet in the mornings, especially when in the mood, he brays in joy, for joy!

The Tao of Esperanto

Sun, 26 Mar 2023 02:09:08 +0000

That’s a picture of me by the way. A true artists impression.

Quite a few years back I started studying many languages. I devised my own system of learning them and decided to write a book about it. That book lies buried deep within the recesses of my hard-drive and hasn’t seen the light of day for many seasons.

So I put up part of the system on my website. (I believe I am the only superhero with his own website.) If you would like to take a look at it, it is here. There is however, only one major problem with the venture.

The Sermon of The Vikid Truth

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 16:19:05 +0000

Being rebellious came naturally to The Vikid Truth. It started when he was young, if anyone told him to do something that didn’t make sense, he had a tendency to either not do it or do the opposite.

And so it went for many years. And many mistakes were made, for Vikid hadn’t yet realized that he doesn’t know everything and on balance and by nature we, humans, usually believe in things that don’t make any sense at all.

It’s Time to Get Serious

Thu, 23 Mar 2023 19:14:54 +0000

Last week I had a rather long meeting with the investing side of a big bank. One guy, the senior most bod came on screen (it was a zoom meeting, what did you think it was 2019?), and proceeded to show me slide after slide of charts and graphs. The purpose of all those slides was to convince me that it wasn’t 2008. As you may guess, I already knew that!

Emily Dune

Thu, 23 Mar 2023 05:44:40 +0000

On a recent overnight flight from London, I threw on a film. It was a story about love, tragedy, silliness, fear, abuse, dogma, being the “other”, finding yourself, jealousy, intrigue and many other things. It was a story so well told, using cinematography, sound, music and the power of suggestion, that often you were totally engrossed with your emotions playing the tune of directors bidding. The acting was sublime, there were no actors, just the characters.

Why Write?

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 09:08:50 +0000

I started a book yesterday titled, “Why Read” by Will Self.

I’ve read a few books by him and while I can’t say they are my favorites or that I even recommend them whole heartedly to the uninitiated, I do think he says some very deep things.

The Art of Reading a very fine one. One that requires silence about you and a deep absorption of your being. Things that are not very fashionable these days and for which our modern environment is not easily geared. Whether it is your phone, spouse, children, friends, work colleagues, the next episode of whatever you are watching, there are constant interruptions.

The Zombie of Logic

Thu, 16 Mar 2023 04:16:13 +0000

It had been a long rest. Though the world was in turmoil, The Vikid Truth was at peace. The month of January had been a revelation. He had a meeting with a frog and had met God. Not that this was a good explanation. There are no words and he was communicating in a written medium, quiet a conundrum. It like his consciousness merged with the infinite, an unbounded love, inhabiting it in a dimension of pure love.

On Being Accused

Thu, 26 Jan 2023 07:40:18 +0000

Vikid was in his office, The Armchair next to him but he was not on it. He sat semi-upright typing into the computer.

This wasn’t really the information age, nor was it the age of AI, transhumanism or whatever else the crackpots claimed it to be.

It was the age of False Accusation and Vikid was being falsely accused. About what? Well perhaps a little of that later but it really isn’t important.

Sight

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 06:16:33 +0000

I do not see with my eyes

for all night I see in my dreams

and during the day too my mind flies

through imaginal realms

Neither do I see with my mind

it is a mere participant

a subject,

and object in the visual realm.

I do not see with my brain.

That lump of grey matter neither sees or hears anything.

A clump of cells firing with electrical potential.

That is not sight.

The Climate Mouse Catastrophe & The Virus of Doom

Thu, 19 Jan 2023 09:58:04 +0000

Many moons before this day, Vikid was an Armchair Activist, some time before that he was a Champagne Socialist. These are how things go but thankfully you live and learn. As a superhero, Vikid still needed a vehicle. Vishnu had Garuda, a mystical eagle, for a chariot and Batman had the Batmobile. The Vikid Truth had a Recliner called The Armchair from which his wild imagination soared. So in some sense, he still was that Armchair Activist…

Real Illusions

Thu, 12 Jan 2023 20:52:24 +0000

The New Year had been good to Vikid, The Hero of Truth. The previous year had been a daily battle against the forces of The DOOM. Demon after demon had been confronted, creatures of all shapes and sizes, Goddesses had been met and revered. 2023, on the contrary, so far at least, had been a year of peace.

The previous day, Vikid had met a curious gentleman online, who had survived a plane crash in Hawaii. In the aftermath of the crash the gentlemen had witnessed his own death and the presence of dark entities surrounding him. Cutting a long story short, after surviving the incident and being brought back to life, he had been blessed with such powers as to cross the different dimensions of existence (at will) and converse with entities often considered the purview of Science Fiction, Fantasy or even Horror. Through the power of Divine Love he was able to exorcize these entities from himself and subsequently helped other people do the same.

The Apple and The Moon

Fri, 06 Jan 2023 08:00:50 +0000

In 1666, it is said that during the great plague, Newton was sitting under an apple tree contemplating, when a fruit fell down an conked him on the head. In that instant he equated the apple with the moon. The heavenly body fell under the same power as the humble fruit. From this he developed the Laws of Gravity and the rest is history.

Vikid was thinking about this story when he noticed a few interesting things.

Ariel Pink

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 03:59:09 +0000

I had never heard of this guy until today when I saw this interview. Then I put on his his music and found that there’s definitely something here worth exploring.

Cool!

I love discovering new music.

Find below a recent interview about what happened to him after January 6th. Here are a few fascinating points to consider while listening:

A man is falsely accused. (An age old story, see Shawshank Redemption)
Everyone and his dog abandons him. (Would you? Be honest.)
The guy is extremely clear in his thinking but is purposely couching his words with good reason. (Can you see the reason?)
To allow the conversation to progress one must be able to “read between the lines”.
The interviewers do a good job but at the fundamental point, they refuse to understand what he is saying. (Do you recognize th3 transition? How the dynamic changes?)
Because that would upend everything they believe in. This is the Wall. To see the truth you have to be willing to blast past it. (Can you? It’s clear the interviewers cannot.)
The interview gets more interesting the longer it goes on. Be patient. The conversation starts with facts (dry) and then moves on the implications (crucial). (Do you have the patience or does time press you hard?)
You see a person swallow a black pill, digest it, lament what happened and grow stronger from the experience.
You see the consequences of being a true hero…
It’s not flashy, no glory and admiration, it’s strips you of everything inessential and exposes you to a harsh reality, which is painful but ultimately you are no longer living a lie. (Are you ready to accept that?)

There will be times in your life when you question yours and everyone else’s sanity.

Vikid had decided to go camping in The Peninsula of Musandum. It wasn’t a crazy distance from home, just a 5.5 hr drive to a beach nestled between mountain peaks. The place was called Secret Beach.

In 25 years he had never made it there. It was like a force field. The first time he tried, he hadn’t brought his passport along with him. The Immigration Officer wasn’t happy obviously and at midnight he and his whole troop had to turn around and go home in shame. Clever, very clever.

Rearranging Deck Chairs

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 06:24:24 +0000

Vikid had read a thousand books, which got him thinking quite a lot. So much so, that he had got himself confused. In fact he had been told by a close friend that so much data would drive a man crazy. He had dismissed this at the time but now he was beginning to see the wisdom of the warning. Perhaps the mind was like a hard disk or a processor that could be over clocked and filled to the brim. Now the overworked machine was malfunctioning, crashing at inopportune moments. Worse, Vikid was suspecting erroneous results, a simulated car crash in high definition and slow motion. A Guy Ritchie production, Lock Stock Lunacy, Dolby 3D Surround Sound, for which he had front row seats in a theatre made for one.

The Many Faces of Vikid

Wed, 30 Nov 2022 09:30:03 +0000

Vikid had been writing profusely, weeks upon weeks, the words just flowed but finally was he running out of material?

He had spent a considerable amount of time learning about Near Death Experiences (NDE’s). It was a topic worth expressing and exploring but first he wanted to have a few words on God.

The night before was glorious 3-0 for his team at the World Cup. The beer tasted good and the mood was better. Everyone was laughing and having a blast.

The Alien

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 08:45:39 +0000

For a long long time Vikid read hard science almost exclusively. He delved primarily in Math & Physics as he was interested in uncovering the truth about the world and how it operated.

It started innocently enough.

The Enlightenment was a period in which Natural Philosophy matured into Scientific Methodology through the union of imagination and the cold reality of experimentation.

Imagination was infinite but prone to all manner of errors, the true route could be chartered by tempering it’s power by continuous testing against reality.

Lord of the Meeting Rivers

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 21:28:27 +0000

Vikid was watching some late night football. It was the time of the World Cup. Brazil vs Switzerland. He was tired falling in and out of sleep when he heard a song and drifted into a fever dream…

“Look, the world, in a swell

of waves, is beating upon my face.

Why should it rise to my heart,

tell me.

O tell me, why is it

rising now to my throat?

Lord,

how can I tell you anything

when it is risen high

Over my head

lord lord

listen to my cries

O lord of the meeting rivers

listen.”

On Intelligence and Stupidity

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 08:14:14 +0000

“Stupidness is a learned behavior”

That’s what Vikid was thinking on the way to a wedding.

He had read the literature which actually correlated IQ to inheritance. Smart parents led to smart children, just as a merger between two tall people leads to equally lengthy kids. Cats also beget more cats, dogs to dogs, etc…

The wedding was a bit of a dull event set against a beautiful backdrop, picture perfect, on a beach under a golden sunset. Smart people, lovely location, another wedding following a similar pattern. Wows made, a jovial but traditional grooms speech, flowers and lackluster canapés. Couldn’t be anymore cliché.

The Bric Shithouse

Sat, 26 Nov 2022 08:32:55 +0000

The one thing we know for sure is that we don’t really know much about our past. Think of us as living in a world completely covered by clouds. The sky is obscured and the nights are dark. Once in a short while some of the clouds clear, we get a little glimpse of what is beyond but before much can be understood, it gets covered again. In this way we get little glimpse of our past, never from one place and never for long enough.

The IT

Thu, 24 Nov 2022 15:44:16 +0000

Vikid was lying in his Armchair reading the news. There had been a series of high end robberies. There wasn’t a day that passed without a celebrity coming out and claiming they had lost their identity. They changed their name if they were famous enough, Prince had become a Symbol but he was one of the early ones. Now Kanye had become Ye. The funniest was Puff Daddy who became P Diddy, then Puffy, then Diddy, now LOVE AKA Brother Love. What kind of Brothers was he loving and how? Vikid didn’t want to speculate.

The Artificial Brain Unit

Wed, 23 Nov 2022 13:57:28 +0000

It had been many years now since that ill fated day. Some thought it was the aliens but Vikid knew better. Somewhere late in 2023, the worlds leaders got together and in their wisdom they implement the World Identity and Safety Protection System (WISPS).

It was to have multiple benefits.

For one, if there was ever another plandemic, all vaccinations could be linked to it. Allowing protected persons to travel safely.

The Wizards of Senoship

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 05:14:58 +0000

It was year 1984 + 38 and Winston had become an old man. It was a miracle really, he had been marked for death nearly four decades earlier but at the last moment O’Brian had spared he life. Apparently Big Biden had had a change of mind. Winston was to be given a new mission. Poor Julia. What had happened to Julia? All Winton could remember were those dark days of torture and after that, total apathy, like his mind had been reprogrammed. He had become dead to everything but The Party.

The Beast of Moolah

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 06:43:34 +0000

The day had past and Vikid was lying down on his Vehicle of Dreams. It had been a lazy day, reading books, watching interviews and commentary. He had been preparing for the first camping of the season. The summer had past and as the days grew cooler, it opened the desert with her undulating dunes of soft sand like a vast dry ocean that could be walked upon.

As he started to relax, the earth started rumbling, groaning and pitching. The most enormous creature came into view. It was the most hideous thing he had ever seen. Razor sharp teeth, where it’s head began and ended he could not see. It was the texture of wood and stone, half tree, half worm, with tentacles for horns and dozens of limbs.

The Trickster of Truth

Fri, 18 Nov 2022 03:47:59 +0000

Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.

Or so said Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

Vikid was on his favorite armchair, contemplating these words when The Trickster of Truth, also know as Tot appeared. He was a slippery creature, ever changing in shape. Sometimes animal, sometimes machine, at others just a voice from the dead.

The Ghosts of Happiness

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 09:18:44 +0000

Even Superheroes have children and on this morning Vikid was taking them to school. The city had an magnificent orange glow, roads were calm and smooth. Leaves on trees rustled in a gentle breeze.

The kids were playing in the car and there was a general sense of joy.

Thanks for reading The Vikid Truth! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

Vikid thought it had been a very long time since he felt that kind of joy. Probably since he sat with the Amazonian shamans a long time ago but even then, not with the genuine joy of childhood.

Different Worlds

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 04:53:26 +0000

Modern transport is a truly fascinating thing. First you have the pantomime of safety concerns at the departure airport and then within a few hours you are zapped into a different world.

Vikid had just spent a few days in India and everything about India is different, or as we like to say “same same but different”.

India is the Land of The Lord.

To begin, you have the overt differences. Vikid was currently living in the Middle East, a great place for a hero. You avoided the crazy postmodern leftist hell of the West and the over authoritarian impulses of the Far East.

The Demon of Crystallization

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 20:30:36 +0000

Vikid was thinking about his political leanings, how they had changed so radically over the seasons.

When he was younger he was practically a communist and then as he grew older he went totally capitalist. Today he just wasn’t sure. These concepts didn’t make sense anymore.

In thirst he went to pour himself a glass of water but before he could drink it, the whole glass turned into a block of ice, the room went into a raging fire and out emerged a Demon of Graphite, blue flames everywhere, horrible laughter piercing through the air.

Queen of the Infinite

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 19:36:41 +0000

Philosophers time immemorial have distrusted the infinite as they made a huge error trying to tame her with the finite.

“This is a hard problem to see”, that’s what Vikid was contemplating at 3am in the morning. His cat, BlackBerry, had woken him up cause she wanted to go out on the prowl and had to be let out.

While she hunted mice, Vikid wondered about lies. Lies people told themselves, lies Vikid told himself and while that was going on, a beautiful Angel made a most glorious appearance. She sat on throne half python, half shard, dark as coal against her skin like alabaster porcelain. Her gaze so deep, so penetrating, Vikid just sat in awe, unable to speak.

Tatey Tate, Whitty Titty

Sun, 30 Oct 2022 05:27:43 +0000

For many months now Vikid had been following an internet celebrity by the name of Andrew Tate.

Tate was a Self Appointed Hero, not much unlike Vikid, except Tate had a different vision fueled with fast cars and lots of dosh.

To get a good flavor required many hours. So Vikid posted a sample interview, 3 long ones he knew but with Tate, nothing less would really do.

The Goblin of Pandemic & Famine

Sat, 29 Oct 2022 08:40:48 +0000

Batman had The Bat-Mobile, while Vikid had an Armchair. Actually it was more like a recliner that was perfect to work, read or sleep in. For Vikid, work primarily resided in thinking and dreaming.

He had recently dreamt of a particularly cruel being, The Goblin of Pandemic & Famine. His fellow demons liked to call him Gopf. A cute little name for a viscous Grimm Reaper.

Gopf had an illustrious past and had ravaged every society that ever lived but over the last century while he hibernated, civilization was having their fill.

The Goddess of Logic

Fri, 28 Oct 2022 09:12:53 +0000

Vikid sat back in his favorite armchair. Being who he was, his mind turned back to the Nature of Proof. It was a key to his powers that he had never really understood.

These days when people thought about Proof they usually first turned to Mathematics.

Math was based at its core on two things. Symbols and “Rules to manipulate Symbols”. This was called formalism.

The simplest rules were called Axioms, which using symbols, showed the type of manipulations that were allowed.

The DOOM

Thu, 27 Oct 2022 08:29:25 +0000

Vikid was at one time a linguist. He’s studied languages, how they were formed and constructed. His greatest interest was on how words were internalized inside the mind. How they acquired their meanings.

There was a new monster in town, destroying society with impunity. The monster was transhuman and could inhabit any person surreptitiously and they wouldn’t even know it. Each person it swallowed would become a monster in turn. It was a special monster, it got the clever first for the faster you learnt the quicker it could take you. First, the brains of society fell, then it started to multiply, swallowing whole populations with greater and greater frequency.

Vikid wasn’t surprised. The plot for Downsyndrome Street, was a long time hatching. Ex-Monster Boris Johns-Un had been sent sweeping in to detract any momentum from Lady Penny of Mourning. We couldn’t have another show like Baroness Truss. This play had to have the right ending, without any fuss.

“It is a well established fact that Art is subjective”, these were the thoughts running through Vikid’s mind when a friend online posted a photo with the caption:

Genuinely think he is UKs only chance to recover

Which made Vikid think about several events that had taken place in the last few years. It felt like a movie. British politics devolving to Comedy.

Were Facts just as Subjective?

Vikid had heard from several people, they had told him that Rishi is disliked by Conservatives because of his race. The facts being

Super-Abundance

Sun, 23 Oct 2022 05:46:50 +0000

It was a bright day in a dark room. That’s where Vikid, the Superhero of Truth, liked to reside while thinking of wonderous schemes. He had just defeated Liar by setting his pants on fire… a fun little story, found at this link.

This day he was pondering over the Nature of Wealth and how it related to the age old questions of Mind & Matter.

Along his wondering he had chanced upon a book called “Superabundance” , written by a Think-Tank Wonk, who claimed many a fantastical thing.

Liar Liar

Sat, 22 Oct 2022 04:02:45 +0000

It’s was 3am and Vikid woke up with a jolt. “Not again!”, he thought. He got out of bed and started watching YouTube.

The world was a mess. People arguing about wars and fighting over race, markets falling and political dissidents being jailed on frivolous charges.

But that wasn’t what was on his mind. After slaying the monstrous Zeno. This super hero had his eyes on Liar, an ancient, fierce and slippery jester. He was going to put his pants fire!

Out of Phase

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 05:13:38 +0000

Yesterday I had dinner with a sophisticated individual. Donning a elegant Hublot and fitted dinner jacket. He was tall and slim, sporting designer stubble, naturally honed for impromptu parties. He had the charms of the up & coming riche flooding the Indian subcontinent. India is rising rapidly and it can been seen, not just read about.

He had come over to make a deal and had been successful at securing two multi-multimillion dollar properties for one of our lesser billionaire families.

The Decaying Wavicle Theory

Thu, 20 Oct 2022 02:38:38 +0000

A lot of people think that history started on the 24th of February 2022. That terrible day in East Europe when civilization collided. And is still colliding, again and again with ever increasing ferocity.

You may think I’m engaging in hyperboly but evidence points otherwise. If this is what you believe, then likely you think the invasion was unprovoked, that Vladimir the Terrible is an out of control lunatic, that his Rusky Army are barmy, morally corrupt, desperately flailing and preparing for Armageddon. That Volodymyr the Great, with blue-eyed banderist battalions, his mighty opponent, is the 21st Century Braveheart. That Brandon the Bright and Victorious, Emperor of the Eagle Realm, Hair Sniffer in Chief, must “Save the West” by “Standing” with him. Like he did with the Afghanis.

In this edition, our hero, The Vikid Truth, has a crisis of confidence. Zeno, before his death in the last episode, uttered a few barely audible words that questioned the very Nature of Truth, our superheroes only power.

Now, Vikid can barely sleep, he wonders the world aimlessly, mumbling, “What does it all mean?”…

Zeno Zeno Zeno Can’t you See?

There’s a class of problems, attributed to Zeno of Elea, who was an ancient philosophical monster. His paradoxes have harassed all of our biggest brains for the last 2500 years.

In their latest iterations, the worlds brainiacs resorted to many ingenious solutions, from Calculus to the Quantum Theory but to no avail. The monsters persist wreaking havoc. Laying waste to everything.

The Vikid Truth, a hero of the ages, has been called to end Zeno’s reign of terror, once and for all.

I imagine that you believe the Theory of Evolution in the same way that you believe The Theory of Gravity. It’s is so obvious that that to most educated people it’s reached the level of axiomatic, i.e. something self evident. Something to be so confident about that we can actually build new interesting theories out of its base. Yet, on an interesting point, it has never been mathematically proven. Gregory Chaitin wrote a good book on it called, Proving Darwin.

Truth hangs out with Bullshit. They are actually best buddies not enemies. That’s a lesson very important to learn. Most never get there so let’s explore the possibilities and see why you might want to consider it.

Let’s take the example of your regular but brilliant CIA or MI5 spook. He has been on many a mission and done some crazy-ass-shit that could topple dynasties or a country if the truth ever got out. He is bound to secrecy for life but he feels guilty and wants to get his nefarious crimes off his chest. To confess. (Or more probably he needs some cash without getting himself killed)

The Truth

Fri, 14 Oct 2022 10:26:25 +0000

So I spotted this earlier today:

“TURKEY - Anything other than official State approved information, is now illegal.

People who spread “disinformation” will face a prison sentence 3 years. That sentence can be increased by half for owners of anonymous social media accounts.

Coming to the U.K. soon.” @BernieSpofforth

So this looks like something that might be coming to a jurisdiction near you.

The Truth is getting wicked.

Enjoy your “freedom” while it lasts.

Makin' and Breakin' Rules

Thu, 13 Oct 2022 10:34:26 +0000

Life is one big game in which some rules are set by Nature, others by Culture and others still, more formerly by Civilized Institutions, of which the highest one, we call “The Law”.

The study of the Natural rules and regulations we call ‘Science’. This game is strict. Rules have been defined by what we mean by science, who can do it, who reviews it and what is expected.

Culture is more organic, looser and governed principally by the Institutions of Religion, History, the Arts, Family, Tribes etc…

I am growing more and more genuinely concerned for there is a phenomenon rising that is not normal.

I have spent a lot of time on Twitter and you can spare me the lectures on that. I could write several books and a 10 part Netflix miniseries about it, without once flickering, all by myself.

Leaving that aside, something genuinely new is happening. When Covid first hit, there was a hysteria but much of it had to be engineered upon high by certain forces to achieve the desired effect. There was some plausibility and deniability to the claims being made. It was transparent nonsense to those of us paying attention but what it has led us to, is what worried me the most at the time.

Philoscientific Insight

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 04:54:18 +0000

I am in the business of illumination, that is The Vikid Truth. Furthermore, I’m not into duplication or the rehashing of old ideas.

What I have for you today is possibly the best discussion that I’ve heard in a long time about the deepest philoscientific insights.

To introduce you to the cast, we have Bret Weinstein, a totally committed evolutionary scientist who has become very prominent in the last 4 years. His history is fascinating and worth perusing on its own.

The Fifth Column

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 08:07:38 +0000

Curious things are going on if you pay attention.

I spent most of my childhood and quite a substantial part of being an adult not knowing about auto-immune disease. Take me for a fool, that much I can admit. I was an MTV grooving, Gameboy loving kind of kid. Never paid attention to this kind of thing.

Then about 10 years ago I started noticing a trend, this new thing called auto-immune disease. I know it isn’t new but that’s how it felt to me. And then the trend started getting larger. Friends and family that I grew up with, acquaintances that I know started started getting it. It manifests in many forms.

WWIII

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 10:21:36 +0000

We are being asked to believe some incredible things.

And after much discussion with people close around me, who are ostensibly very well educated, business owners, lawyers, doctors and that type, I have come to the conclusion that they do believe these incredible things.

But it’s not just about these hostilities happening in Eastern Europe. It goes much deeper.

If anyone is paying any attention to what is now happening in that place with the three gorges,

The Lands Less Travelled

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 10:28:43 +0000

People love to travel and there is no end of reasons why. You get to see new places, learn about new cultures, experience a rich set of cuisines, hear new languages, make friends etc. etc.

But there are other forms of travel too. Fiction is one of them, whether you are into literature or Sci-Fi like I am, you get to transport your mind into new realms, into unfamiliar zones of thought, to experience the richness of our mental spaces. And I am reading a book by a neuroscientist, about why it is so beneficial. Pssst… Get your fiction out… It’s not just a waste of time!

Human Smoke

Sat, 01 Oct 2022 02:26:44 +0000

I don’t want to waste your time or your valuable attention span. That’s why I don’t write everyday, though I have enough material for it.

I want you to strongly consider getting this book. It’s called “Human Smoke”. It is a book that almost entirely consists of clippings of newspaper / magazine articles, quotes, speeches, memoirs and diaries of the most prominent people, in and around the First and Second World War. It’s about what they thought, said and did, leading up to WWII.

The Biggest Hustle

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 07:57:36 +0000

Last night I couldn’t sleep. The mind was wound tight. I have refound my passion for computing and I was hacking away at my Linux box, installing, coding, tinkering & reading all things computing.

Then I came across two videos at 1 am. Argh…

One was by Steve Yegge. An old hero of mine as he is an Emacs/Lisp evangelist and I just love Emacs with all its flaws. He is a high level tech nerd, soft spoken, that has worked at some of the biggest companies on this earth, now retired and making YouTube videos about his experiences. Its absolutely superb.

Thoughts create feeling, feeling creates thoughts. It is a dance.

So I am a brown English man. And to complicate things I haven’t live in England for 20 years. You go figure that out. For me that calculation is pure.

The really horrible thing is I got into an argument with some white nationalists. I have to be clear here. I followed them for a long time. I am a coconut. But I made this comment on the chat. And they restricted me: so I can’t interact with anyone. To them oI am just some dark asshole and my whole life that never happened. I followed the hard right all the way. I understand their concerns.

Prophetering

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 09:07:12 +0000

There are some benefits to waking up. When you read (this includes, watch, listen and hear) as much as I have, I think it’s an inevitable side effect. When you’ve inhabited thousands of minds, you just see through the fog with laser like vision. It’s like being the one eyed man in the land of the blind. Awesome really.

And I think I have awoken. (The opposite of going “woke” incidentally). For I see a lot of awakened masters and realize they are still in infancy. It’s a bit of a hobby for me. I find some enlightened guru (usually with a book and an unhealthily large following), find them on zoom. Speak with them, sometimes for an hour, some times for weeks. Realize they are morons, then rinse and repeat. Reading book, whether it is on finance or the state of contemporary cricket is the same thing. Meeting a friend. Same thing.

But in all seriousness when you don’t eat for that long, surviving mainly on water and a little coconut juice, your entire system changes. I have rarely had such clarity of thought. Contrary to popular belief & opinion, I actually gained more energy. I wanted to get out and exercise. My mind opened up to the ethereal. It was a deeply spiritual experience.

“No price demanded of us shall be too high to be useful to the Hierarchy at the time of the Taurus Full Moon, the Wesak Festival; no price is too high to attain spiritual enlightenment possible, particularly at this time.”

From Social Dilemma to Social Liberation

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 15:01:14 +0000

Hello Dear Reader!

Do you think social media is bad for you?

I bet you do.

Did you watch “The Social Dilemma” on Netflix and were you shocked with what those scheming silicon valley software tyrants created?

I’m certain that you were.

Do you think all the “Fake News” out there is detrimental to a healthy functioning society?

I’m not normally a gambler, but I would take wager on that .

Genuflection

Sat, 16 Oct 2021 20:01:14 +0000

It’s been practically a year since I last wrote here, and one of the primary reasons is I felt almost anything I had to say would get me banned off the Internet. It seems that speaking the truth, or more accurately, The Vikid Truth is no longer a hobby without its dangers.

Things have gotten a little more serious than I imagined.

I have lost several long held friendships, not out of quarrels, for I am the most friendly of Superheroes but due to steady, unrelenting deterioration and the need for most people to feel normal. It’s been two years since travel was a thing, face to face’s aren’t happening and furthermore, I’ve gone down rabbit-holes that few are willing to follow. Electronic communication is shizer and the desire to feel normal is stronger than the most powerful opiate.

Link to Video

0s Almost everyone guessed correctly Preskaŭ ĉiuj ĝuste divenis
11s Welcome to the last interview of my Month of Interviews Bonvenon al la lasta intervjuo de mia Monato de Intervjuoj
17s Apparently my clues weren’t too hard, because almost everyone guessed correctly Ŝajne miaj indikoj ne estis tro malfacilaj, ĉar preskaŭ ĉiuj divenis ĝuste
25s Who is the next person? Kiu estas la sekva homo?
27s Katalin Kovats! Katalin Kovats!
29s Of course, you all knew Kompreneble, vi ĉiuj sciis, ke
32s She was the first person that I interviewed, and I have to say that I was really stressed Ŝi estas la unua homo, kiun mi intervjuis, kaj mi devas diri, ke mi estis tre streĉita
40s in my mind, she’s a celebrity en mia menso, ŝi estas famulo,
42s But she is a really kind person and she has a lot of interesting things to say sed ŝi estas tre afabla homo kaj ŝi havas multajn interesajn aferojn por diri.
48s I hope that you’ll like the last interview of the Month of Interviews esperas, ke plaĉos al vi la lasta intervjuo de la Monato de Intervjuoj
54s Hi, I’m with Katalin, the most famous Esperanto speaker - in my mind, in my opinion Saluton, mi estas kun Katalin, la plej fama esperantisto - laŭ mi, laŭ mi
1:02 This is the final interview for my channel Ĉi tio estas la fina intervjuo por mia kanalo
1:07 and I’m really thankful that I can speak with you kaj mi vere dankas tion Mi povas paroli kun vi
1:11 First I just want you to introduce yourself Unue mi nur volas, ke vi prezentu vin.
1:14 I know that a lot of people already know you Mi scias, ke multaj homoj jam konas vin,
1:19 but a lot of English speakers watch my videos sed multaj anglalingvanoj spektas miajn filmetojn,
1:24 so if they don’t know you, I want you to introduce yourself now do se ili ne konas vin, mi volas, ke vi prezentu vin nun
1:30 Hello, Chelsea. Saluton, Chelsea.
1:31 It’s also a big pleasure for me to talk with you, because when you started to learn Esperanto, you came to Edukado.net and I follow you Estas ankaŭ granda plezuro por mi paroli kun vi, ĉar kiam vi eklernis Esperanton, vi venis al Edukado.net kaj mi sekvas vin
1:45 And I’m very proud of you Kaj mi tre fieras pri vi
1:48 I admire your progress Mi admiras vian progreson
1:51 And yes, you said that I’m pretty well known in the Esperanto world Kaj jes, vi diris, ke mi ' mi estas sufiĉe konata en la Esperantujo.
1:57 I am Katalin Kovats, pedagogue, language teacher Mi estas Katalin Kovats, pedagogo, lingvoinstruisto.
2:03 I have four specialties: mathematics, Russian, Esperanto, and Italian Mi havas kvar fakojn: matematiko, ruso, esperanto kaj italo.
2:12 I’ve trained many teachers in Hungary Mi trejnis multajn instruistojn en Hungario.
2:17 I am Hungarian, but for the past twenty years I’ve lived in the Netherlands Mi estas hungaro, sed dum la pasintaj dudek jaroj mi ' mi loĝis en Nederlando
2:23 And in those twenty years, I’ve fully worked for Esperanto Kaj en tiuj dudek jaroj, mi plene laboris por Esperanto.
2:29 I have a French husband together we have a young polyglot son Mi havas francan edzon kune, ni havas junan poliglotan filon.
2:37 So my first question is, when and how did you learn about Esperanto? Mia unua demando estas, kiam kaj kiel vi eksciis pri Esperanto?
2:45 There were many meetings with Esperanto Okazis multaj kunvenoj kun Esperanto.
2:49 I was a small child when I saw an Esperanto book Mi estis malgranda infano, kiam mi vidis Esperantan libron,
2:54 which an aunt forgot in our house kiun onklino forgesis en nia domo,
2:57 I even have it - similar to it - here mi eĉ havas - simile al ĝi - ĉi tie
3:01 I liked it very much mi tre ŝatis ĝin,
3:03 I was maybe ten years old, but she took the book away, so I didn’t learn it mi havis eble dek jarojn, sed ŝi prenis la rezervu, do mi ne lernis ĝin
3:08 Afterwards, a teacher spoke to us in Esperanto, but not about Esperanto Poste, instruisto parolis al ni en Esperanto, sed ne pri Esperanto
3:15 When I was nineteen years old, in my pedagogue college - or school, you call it Kiam mi estis deknaŭjara, en mia pedagoga kolegio - aŭ lernejo, vi nomas ĝin
3:25 The Russian teacher taught Esperanto La rusa instruisto instruis Esperanton
3:30 I wanted better grades in Russian Mi volis pli bonan notojn en la rusa
3:35 I thought, “I’ll learn Esperanto and maybe my Russian will get better.” mi pensis, "Mi lernos Esperanton kaj eble mia ruso pliboniĝos."
3:42 But the classes began at 6:30 in the morning Sed la klasoj komenciĝis je 6:30 matene
3:48 In the morning! Matene!
3:49 I said, “No, no, no. That’s not for me.” Mi diris, "Ne, ne, ne. Tio ne estas por mi."
3:54 But I promised Blazio Vaha - that was his name - that sometime, I swear, I’ll learn Esperanto Sed mi promesis al Blazio Vaha - tiel li nomiĝis - ke iam, mi ĵuras, mi lernos Esperanton
4:03 When I was pregnant with my first son, who now will be forty years old, so I’ll have a party now Kiam mi gravediĝos kun mia unua filo, kiu nun havos kvardek jarojn, do mi festos nun, kiam
4:12 I lay in a hospital for a long time mi kuŝos hospitalon dum longa tempo
4:16 I remembered in the last month, “I wanted to learn Esperanto!” mi memoris en la lasta monato, "Mi volis lerni Esperanton!"
4:20 I found a textbook, “Esperanto in Thirty Days” Mi trovis lernolibron, "Esperanto en Tridek Tagoj"
4:27 And I had thirty days, and I learned Kaj mi havis tridek tagojn, kaj mi lernis
4:30 Since then, I love it, and teach it, and do everything, my life is Esperanto, truly De tiam, mi amas ĝin, instruas ĝin, kaj faras ĉion, mia vivo estas Esperanto, vere
4:40 You, of course, speak more than one language Vi, kompreneble, parolas pli ol unu lingvo
4:46 Why do you think that learning Esperanto is important, or - Kial vi pensas, ke lerni Esperanton gravas, aŭ -
4:52 because you speak many languages, so why learn Esperanto? ĉar vi parolas multajn lingvojn, do kial lerni Esperanton?
4:56 To learn Esperanto is maybe important, but I would say, “useful” Lerni Esperanton eble gravas, sed mi dirus, "utila"
5:04 It’s even more interesting Estas eĉ pli interese
5:06 I - in fact, my dissertation, my doctorate dissertation was about that mi - fakte, mia disertacio, mia doktora disertacio temis pri tio,
5:14 How Esperanto helps learners, Hungarian learners, learn the Italian language kiel Esperanto helpas lernantojn, hungarajn lernantojn, lerni la italan lingvon
5:23 That is called propaedeutic value Tio nomiĝas propedeŭtika valoro
5:27 Introductory value Enkonduka valoro
5:29 When languages are very different, structurally and vocabulary wise, it’s very useful to first take a step with an easier language Kiam lingvoj estas tre malsamaj, strukture kaj vortprovize, estas tre utile unue fari paŝon per pli facila lingvo
5:45 You yourself experienced that Vi mem spertis, ke
5:47 To immediately learn a complicated language? Not everyone is capable of that Por tuj lerni komplikan lingvon? Ne ĉiuj kapablas tion
5:52 But if you psychologically have a huge success in the first, easier language Sed se vi psikologie havas grandegan sukceson en la unua, pli facila lingvo
6:02 Additionally it can be even a different structure than your own, that’s double the profit Aldone ĝi povas esti eĉ malsama strukturo ol la via, tio estas duobla profito
6:10 But it’s first important, and that’s why I wrote my dissertation Sed unue gravas, kaj tial mi verkis mian disertacion,
6:16 that for children it’s extremely important to first learn an easy language, ke por infanoj treege gravas unue lerni facilan lingvon
6:22 have success, and that success gives courage to learn the next one , sukcesi, kaj tiu sukceso donas kuraĝon lerni la sekvan
6:30 and gives information, awareness about your own language kaj donas informon, konscion pri via propra lingvo
6:36 Because when you learn a new language, you compare yours with the new language Ĉar kiam vi lernas novan lingvon, vi komparas la vian kun la nova lingvo
6:43 And learning a new language, we always also learn things about our own language Kaj lernas nova lingvo, ni ĉiam ankaŭ lernas aferojn pri nia propra lingvo
6:50 That’s why it’s important Tial gravas
6:52 Esperanto is, as the English say, a “spring board” Esperanto estas, kiel diras la angloj, "saltotabulo
6:57 A jumping board " Saltotabulo
7:00 You jump, and immediately go, and afterwards you learn other languages Vi saltas, kaj tuj iras, kaj poste vi lernas aliajn lingvojn
7:05 I agree. I’m not - of course, I’m not a language expert Mi konsentas. Mi ne - kompreneble, mi ne estas lingva spertulo
7:10 When I started learning Esperanto, I found that it helps me learn more about English Kiam mi eklernis Esperanton, mi trovis, ke tio helpas min lerni pli pri la angla
7:20 And yes, I can’t imagine if I had wanted to learn Yiddish without Esperanto Kaj jes, mi ne povas imagi, ĉu mi volis lerni la jidan sen Esperanto
7:28 So yes, I agree Do jes , Mi konsentas
7:30 Yes, it’s that, you’re totally right Jes, estas tio, vi tute pravas
7:33 You - I said the theory as a linguist Vi - mi diris la teorion kiel lingvisto
7:37 But you know, because you experienced it Sed vi scias, ĉar vi spertis ĝin
7:39 So, I was right Do, mi pravis
7:41 When and where was your first congress, Esperanto congress? Kiam kaj kie estis via unua kongreso, Esperanto-kongreso?
7:47 I have to look at the year Mi devas rigardi la jaron
7:50 but the first congress was in Vienna, in the beginning of the 90s sed la unua kongreso estis en Vieno, en la komenco de la 90-aj jaroj
7:56 I remember, Vienna was very close to where I lived in Hungary mi memoras, Vieno estis tre proksima al kie mi loĝis en Hungario
8:03 It was maybe two hours by car . Estis eble du horoj aŭte.
8:05 So of course, we could go Kompreneble, ni povus iri
8:08 I’ll say to you very shortly, that it’s in a congress - you’ll see in your first congress I ' Mi diros al vi tre baldaŭ, ke ĝi estas en kongreso - vi vidos en via unua kongreso.
8:17 Every person is in a big room for the opening ceremony Ĉiu persono estas en granda ĉambro por la malferma ceremonio.
8:23 When I entered, I saw thousands of people Kiam mi eniris, mi vidis milojn da homoj.
8:28 I was relatively new Mi estis relative nova.
8:31 My heart beat, and when every person started singing the Esperanto hymn together in one language, I cried Mia koro batis, kaj kiam ĉiu homo ekkantis la esperantan himnon kune en unu lingvo, mi kriis
8:45 It was such an emotional moment Estis tiel emocia momento
8:49 And of course, meetings, programs, all are wonderful Kaj kompreneble, renkontiĝoj, programoj, ĉiuj estas mirindaj
8:54 But the feeling of the opening and one hymn sang together is an unforgettable thing Sed la sento de la malfermo kaj unu himno kantis kune estas neforgesebla afero, kiun
9:03 I look forward to my first congress mi antaŭĝojas al mia unua kongreso
9:06 Soon, without COVID, yes Baldaŭ, sen COVID, jes
9:09 Do you - I think that the answer will be yes - have you traveled often because of Esperanto? Ĉu vi - mi pensas ke la respondo estos jes - ĉu vi vojaĝis ofte pro Esperanto?
9:18 Where was your favorite travel experience, and why? Kie estis via plej ŝatata vojaĝa sperto, kaj kial?
9:24 Yes, of course, the situation now is out of the ordinary Jes, kompreneble, la situacio nun estas eksterordinara.
9:31 I travel a lot virtually now Mi vojaĝas multe praktike nun.
9:34 But not long ago, I made a list for my project, to write a book Sed antaŭ nelonge, mi faris liston por mia projekto, verki libron
9:41 about the countries where I led Esperanto courses pri la landoj, kie mi gvidis kursojn de Esperanto.
9:44 It’s more than thirty countries in every continent Estas pli ol tridek landoj en ĉiu kontinento
9:49 Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, really - and also America, North and South Afriko, Aŭstralio, Azio, Eŭropo, vere - kaj ankaŭ Ameriko, Nordo kaj Sudo
9:58 So really I can say that I had a very interesting life teaching Esperanto in many, many countries Do vere mi povas diri, ke mi havis tre interesan vivon instruante Esperanton en multaj, multaj landoj
10:08 In many I wasn’t there just once En multaj mi ne estis tie nur unufoje
10:12 The teaching, the courses, were totally unique La instruado, la kursoj estis tute unikaj
10:17 People who travel a lot with tourist agencies Homoj, kiuj multe vojaĝas kun turismaj agentejoj,
10:24 have a picture that someone organizes for them havas bildon, kiun iu organizas por ili
10:29 Hotel and sightseeing Hotelon kaj turismadon.
10:32 But Esperanto speakers who live with other Esperanto speakers in their home, eat, live with them, have an absolutely different experience and life Sed esperantistoj, kiuj loĝas kun aliaj esperantistoj en sia hejmo, manĝas, loĝas kun ili, havas tute alian sperton kaj vivo
10:45 In almost every country I lived with Esperanto speakers En preskaŭ ĉiuj landoj, kiujn mi vivis kun esperantistoj, kiujn
10:51 I experienced - for example, in one country they said, “Katalin, I hope that you’re a vegetarian.” mi spertis - ekzemple, en unu lando ili diris, "Katalin, mi esperas, ke vi estas vegetarano."
10:58 After one week, “Katalin, I hope that you aren’t a vegetarian.” etc. Post unu semajno, "Katalin, mi esperas, ke vi ne estas vegetarano." ktp.
11:03 You have to adapt a lot Vi devas multe adaptiĝi.
11:07 It’s difficult to work in that way, because you live with them and then talk at night Estas malfacile labori tiel, ĉar vi loĝas kun ili kaj poste parolas nokte.
11:13 But the most beautiful experiences were the visits and living with local Esperanto speakers Sed la plej belaj spertoj estis la vizitoj kaj loĝado kun lokaj Esperanto-parolantoj.
11:21 I wouldn’t say a country, I don’t want to hurt anyone Mi ne dirus landon, mi ne donos. Mi volas vundi iun ajn,
11:26 but because of those interesting parts of my travels, course trips, I am now starting to write a book sed pro tiuj interesaj partoj de miaj vojaĝoj, kursvojaĝoj, mi nun komencas verki libron
11:37 Maybe sometime you can read it Eble iam vi povas legi ĝin
11:40 Did you ever use Pasporta Servo? Ĉu vi iam uzis Pasporta Servon?
11:43 I’ll say, officially no, because I always had invitations, but I know it Mi diros, oficiale ne, ĉar mi ĉiam havis invitojn, sed mi scias ĝin
11:49 Many times I stayed with a person who, in fact, was part of Pasporta Servo Multfoje mi restis kun persono, kiu fakte estis parto de Pasporta Servo,
11:56 I’ve never - I don’t think - had to call someone and ask to stay with them kiun mi neniam - mi kredas - devis telefoni al iu kaj petu resti kun ili
12:02 But I lived with hosts Sed mi loĝis kun gastigantoj -
12:05 I am - maybe luckily, I myself didn’t have to request a place to stay the night mi feliĉe, mi mem ne devis peti lokon por tranokti,
12:14 but people said, “Katalin, stay with me, stay with me.” sed homoj diris: "Katalin, restu kun mi, restu kun mi."
12:17 It was a more favorable situation Estis pli favora situacio, ke
12:21 I also taught Esperanto in a college, and to other young people, and I always said in Hungary, mi ankaŭ instruis Esperanton en kolegio, kaj al aliaj junuloj, kaj mi ĉiam diris en Hungario,
12:29 “You can travel, you don’t have to pay. You’ll pay through speaking Esperanto. It’s your money, your currency.” "Vi povas vojaĝi, vi ne devas pagi. Vi pagos per parolado de Esperanto. Ĝi estas via mono, via valuto. "
12:39 Many have traveled thanks to that, it’s a wonderful service Multaj vojaĝis danke al tio, ĝi estas mirinda servo
12:44 And there’s an American, Amanda, maybe you heard about her, from Sacramento Kaj estas usonano, Amanda, eble vi aŭdis pri ŝi, el Sakramento,
12:50 who, if I remember well, more than one year - maybe two years, traveled through Europe through Pasporta Servo kiu, se mi bone memoras, pli ol unu jaro - eble du jarojn, vojaĝis tra Eŭropo tra Pasporta Servo
12:59 It was more than twenty years ago Estis antaŭ pli ol dudek jaroj
13:02 She now has native Esperanto speaking children Ŝi nun havas denaskajn esperantoparolantajn infanojn.
13:06 She really did that Ŝi vere faris tion, ke
13:08 I know that for the most part, you - or maybe I’m wrong - but I think that for the most part, you speak Esperanto with your family mi scias, ke plejparte vi - aŭ eble mi eraras - sed mi pensas, ke vi plejparte parolas Esperanton kun via
13:20 Do you ever get tired because you don’t speak your native language? familio. iam laciĝas ĉar vi ne parolas vian gepatran lingvon?
13:26 Maybe it was that way in the beginning Eble tiel estis en la komenco
13:28 I’m Hungarian and came to the Netherlands to live with my French husband mi estas hungaro kaj venis al Nederlando por loĝi kun mia franca edzo
13:35 But my husband doesn’t know Hungarian, I don’t know French, I don’t know Dutch Sed mia edzo ne scias la hungaran, mi ne scias la francan, mi ne scias la nederlandan
13:41 It was absolutely necessary to have a common, neutral language . Estis absolute necese havas komunan, neŭtralan lingvon
13:45 We started speaking Esperanto totally naturally Ni ekparolis Esperanton tute nature
13:50 That didn’t tire me out Tio ne lacigis min
13:53 Now, after twenty years, I dream in Esperanto, I think in Esperanto Nun, post dudek jaroj, mi sonĝas en Esperanto, mi pensas ke en Esperanto
13:59 I live in an Esperanto environment eighteen - sixteen, eighteen hours a day mi loĝas en esperanta ĉirkaŭaĵo dek ok - dek ses, dek ok horoj tage
14:07 I only speak Hungarian a little bit mi nur paroli hungare iomete
14:10 I have to think - so, I didn’t forget Hungarian, I write - but Esperanto is an easier language for me than Hungarian mi devas pensi - do, mi ne forgesis la hungaran, mi skribas - sed Esperanto estas pli facila lingvo por mi ol la hungara
14:21 It doesn’t tire me out Ĝi ne lacigas min
14:23 We have to be very careful at home Ni devas esti tre singardaj hejme
14:27 We speak a lot of languages together; with my son, my husband, more than twenty languages Ni parolas multaj lingvoj kune; kun mia filo, mia edzo, pli ol dudek lingvoj
14:33 Sometimes we mix languages and joke about it Foje ni miksas lingvojn kaj ŝercas pri tio
14:39 Sometimes it tires me out to not use other words in an Esperanto sentence Foje ĝi lacigas min ne uzi aliajn vortojn en Esperanta frazo
14:47 Because I have some really great, short words Ĉar mi havas iujn bonegajn, mallongajn vortojn
14:51 and they say, “No, don’t mix.” kaj ili diras, "Ne, don Ne miksu. "
14:56 Esperanto is my internal and external language now Esperanto estas mia interna kaj ekstera lingvo nun
15:01 It totally doesn’t tire me out; not anymore Ĝi tute ne lacigas min; ne plu
15:05 And that’s possible Kaj tio eblas
15:07 So Esperanto is almost your native language now Do Esperanto estas preskaŭ via gepatra lingvo nun
15:11 But I don’t know everything in Esperanto - every bird Sed mi ne scias ĉion en Esperanto - ĉiu birdo
15:16 But I also don’t know them in Hungarian Sed ankaŭ mi ne konas ilin
15:19 That’s not why I don’t know them, it’s just not an interesting field hungare Ne tial mi ne konas ilin, simple ne estas interesa kampo
15:23 But I’m at a pretty good level in Esperanto Sed mi havas sufiĉe bonan nivelon en Esperanto.
15:29 I want to teach more than one language to my kids, when I have kids Mi volas instrui pli ol unu lingvon al miaj infanoj, kiam mi havas infanojn
15:37 Do you have advice? . Ĉu vi havas konsilojn?
15:39 If you could say one thing to yourself in the past about language and kids, what would you say? Se vi povus diri unu aferon al vi en la pasinteco pri lingvo kaj infanoj, kion vi dirus?
15:48 I hope that you’ll have a partner Mi esperas, ke vi havos
15:51 It’s ideal to educate a child with a partner, right partneron. Idealas eduki infanon kun kunulo, ĝuste
15:58 Then I’d say that your partner needs to accept that you’ll use Esperanto, that’s an important thing Tiam mi dirus, ke via kunulo devas akcepti, ke vi uzos Esperanton, tio estas grava afero.
16:05 Your partner should speak the local language, or their own language Via kunulo parolu la lokan lingvon, aŭ sian propran lingvon
16:11 And you, very disciplined, consequentially speak only Esperanto Kaj vi, tre disciplinita, konsekvence parolas nur Esperanton
16:19 Even to the baby in your stomach, in the uterus Eĉ al la bebo en via stomako, en la utero
16:23 Because they hear, they get used to the sound Ĉar ili aŭdas, ili kutimiĝas al la sono
16:27 Consequentially never cross, that’s the best method Konsekvence neniam kruciĝas, tio estas la plej bona metodo
16:31 And then they learn Kaj tiam ili lernas
16:34 Our Martin learned in a different way because I spoke Hungarian, his father French, in the Netherlands Nian Martin lernis alimaniere ĉar mi parolis hungare, lia patro la francan, en Nederlando
16:41 So Esperanto wasn’t very necessary Do Esperanto ne estis tre necesa
16:45 But he learned his father and I continue to speak only in Esperanto Sed li lernis sian patron kaj mi daŭre parolas nur en Esperanto
16:51 so he learned the “secret language” do li lernis la "sekretan lingvon"
16:55 and we quickly didn’t have secrets in front of him kaj ni rapide ne havas sekretojn antaŭ li
16:59 So that can also work Do ankaŭ tio povas funkcii
17:01 But in the OPOL method, one person, one language Sed en la metodo OPOL, unu persono, unu lingvo
17:09 You in Esperanto, your partner - I don’t know, in Japanese, English, it’s not important Vi en Esperanto, via partnero - mi ne scias, en la japana, angla, ne gravas
17:14 If you do it this way, it works really well Se vi faras ĝin tiel, ĝi funkcias tre bone,
17:20 I asked my Patreon supporters if they had questions for you mi demandis miajn Patreon-ojn subtenantoj se ili havis demandojn por vi
17:26 and one supporter asked, kaj unu subtenanto demandis,
17:29 “Many people start learning Esperanto through Duolingo. "Multaj homoj komencas lerni Esperanton per Duolingo.
17:33 After a bit of learning with Duolingo, what do you suggest to do to better your capability to use the language?” Post iom da lernado kun Duolingo, kion vi sugestas fari por plibonigi vian kapablon uzi la lingvon? "
17:41 I don’t just suggest it, I even did it, you know Mi ne nur sugestas ĝin, mi eĉ faris ĝin, vi scias antaŭ
17:45 Five or six years ago, I noticed that, that Duolingo started to produce a mass of Esperanto speakers Kvin aŭ ses jaroj, mi rimarkis tion, ke Duolingo komencis produkti amason da Esperanto-parolantoj,
17:56 who mainly learned grammar, less pronunciation, vocabulary, but didn’t speak kiuj ĉefe lernis gramatikon, malpli prononcon, vortprovizon, sed ne parolis
18:03 Specifically to help them, I created the program, “Ekparolu” Specife por helpi ilin, mi kreis la programon, "Ekparolu"
18:08 I thought that everyone who learned Esperanto through Duolingo needed to start speaking the language, use it Mi pensis, ke ĉiuj, kiuj lernis Esperanton per Duolingo, devas ekparoli. la lingvon, uzu ĝin
18:20 In fact, those who came to us really liked and enjoyed the possibility to speak with help, with patient people who help them progress in the language Fakte, tiuj, kiuj venis al ni, tre ŝatis kaj ĝuis la eblon paroli kun helpo, kun paciencaj homoj, kiuj helpas ilin progresi en la lingvo.
18:36 I created a system - I can speak about it, right? Mi kreis sistemon - mi povas paroli pri ĝi, ĉu ne?
18:40 I created a system, and volunteers - not professional teachers, some are - Mi kreis sistemo, kaj volontuloj - ne profesiaj instruistoj, iuj estas -
18:47 dedicate their free time and give free, private lessons to upper beginners dediĉas sian liberan tempon kaj donas senpagajn privatajn lecionojn al superaj komencantoj.
18:57 Those who have finished the Duolingo course Kiuj finis la kurson Duolingo
19:00 Through Skype generally, Zoom, it doesn’t matter Tra Skajpo ĝenerale, Zoom, ne gravas.
19:04 They have lessons, they give written advice, and the - I think that many become friends Ili havas lecionojn, ili donas skribajn. konsilo, an d la - Mi pensas, ke multaj amikiĝas
19:16 The “uncles” - because I wanted a family atmosphere - the “uncles” and “aunts” care about the “nephews” and “nieces” La "onkloj" - ĉar mi volis familian etoson - la "onkloj" kaj "onklinoj" zorgas pri la "nevoj" kaj "nevinoj"
19:27 They advise them to read, advise them to see what is Pasporta Servo? Which books? Which societies? Ili konsilas ilin legi, konsilas ilin vidi kion ĉu Pasporta Servo? Kiuj libroj? Kiuj societoj?
19:35 They help them integrate into the movement Ili helpas ilin integriĝi en la movadon
19:40 After that, as in a family, if you don’t know something, you can ask your “uncle” or “aunt” Post tio, kiel en familio, se vi ne scias ion, vi povas demandi vian "onklon" aŭ "onklinon"
19:48 What to do, is a congress worth it? Kion fari, ĉu kongreso indas?
19:51 We help the people who have finished Duolingo to integrate Ni helpas la homojn, kiuj finis Duolingo'n integriĝi.
19:58 And that’s an important thing Kaj tio estas grava afero.
20:00 So I didn’t just have an opinion, or an idea, but I made it happen Do mi ne nur havis opinion, nek ideon, sed mi realigis,
20:05 I’m really glad that I did it mi tre ĝojas, ke mi faris tion.
20:08 That was and is very helpful to me mi
20:12 and many other people, of course kaj multaj aliaj homoj, kompreneble
20:15 I said the inspiration, but in fact, I wanted to help, because my page, Edukado.net, helps Esperanto teachers mi diris la inspiron, sed fakte mi volis helpi, ĉar mia paĝo, Edukado.net, helpas esperantajn instruistojn, kiujn
20:25 I didn’t occupy myself with learners mi ne okupis kun lernantoj
20:28 Lernu.net was for learners Lernu.net estis por lernantoj
20:30 My page was for teachers Mia paĝo estis por instruistoj
20:34 But because I had thousands of teachers, I thought, “They could help work.” Sed ĉar mi havis milojn da instruistoj, mi pensis, "Ili povus helpi labori."
20:41 And in fact, I invited them, I train them on how to patiently work with people Kaj fakte, mi invitis ilin, mi trejnas ilin pri kiel pacience labori kun homoj
20:49 First I had to find a good program, idea Unue mi devis trovi bonan programon, ideon
20:53 In the beginning I had wanted to work with italki En la komenco mi volis labori kun italki
20:59 and have a guided Esperanto group there kaj havi gvidatan Esperanto-grupon tie
21:03 We had a good relationship, but I wanted to do it for free and they didn’t want to do it completely for free, so we separated Ni havis bonan rilaton , sed mi volis fari ĝin senpage kaj ili ne volis fari ĝin tute senpage, do ni apartigis
21:12 No big deal Neniu granda afero
21:13 I found people who were useful, who were at home, who could give their time, and created the program Mi trovis homojn utilajn, kiuj estis hejme, kiuj povis doni sian tempon, kaj kreis la programon
21:24 We tested it for one year with one hundred and fifty sessions to know what we wanted Ni testis ĝin dum unu jaro kun cent kvindek sesioj por scii, kion ni volas.
21:32 Afterwards, I paid with the money of Edukado.net to create the program, the agenda, the messages Poste, mi pagis per la mono de Edukado.net por krei la programon, la tagordon, la mesaĝojn.
21:41 And after that we started to search for the students Kaj poste ni komencis serĉi la studentojn
21:44 It was a two year job to get to where the system was working . Estis dujara laboro por atingi, kie la sistemo funkciis
21:50 Up until now we’ve had more or less five hundred “nephews” and “nieces” Ĝis nun ni havis pli-malpli kvincent "nevojn" kaj "nevinoj"
21:55 Some took only ten lessons, some took fifty lessons, the maximum Iuj prenis nur dek lecionojn, iuj prenis kvindek lecionojn, maksimume
22:01 Some love it, but not everyone Iuj amas ĝin, sed ne ĉiuj
22:04 Some were scared of the test to enter Iuj timis la teston por eniri
22:08 Maybe you’re curious as to why we have tests Eble vi scivolas kial ni havas testojn
22:11 Those who don’t have vocabulary, don’t know basic grammar, they can’t speak Thos Kiuj ne havas vortprovizon, ne konas bazan gramatikon, ili ne povas paroli
22:20 Only show that, “These are glasses. This is a battery, a mouse.” Nur montru tion, "Ĉi tiuj estas glasoj. Jen baterio, muso. "
22:27 You should learn that before, and come to speak with the “uncles” and “aunts” when you can conversate Vi devas lerni tion antaŭe, kaj veni paroli kun la" onkloj "kaj" onklinoj "kiam vi povas konversacii
22:34 Because of that, we decided to create tests Pro tio, ni decidis krei testojn
22:39 Some say, “No, I don’t want tests.” Iuj diras," Ne, mi ne ' Ne volas testojn. "
22:42 Sorry, we can’t help you then Pardonu, ni ne povas helpi vin.
22:45 You understand Vi komprenas.
22:46 There are some critiques, but I want my “uncles” and “aunts” to give their time to those who can already profit from it Estas iuj kritikoj, sed mi volas, ke miaj" onkloj "kaj" onklinoj "donu sian tempon al tiuj, kiuj jam povas profiti el ĝi.
23:00 That’s the goal Tio estas la celo, kiun
23:02 I have to say that I was scared of the tests mi devas diru, ke mi timis la testojn,
23:06 because I don’t like tests in general ĉar mi ĝenerale ne ŝatas testojn.
23:09 But I understand that if I had used Ekparolu when first started learning Esperanto, it wouldn’t have been useful Sed mi komprenas, ke se mi uzus Ekparolu kiam mi unue eklernis Esperanton, ĝi ne estus utila.
23:18 And I also want to say that I think that the reason why I can speak Esperanto now is partly because of Ekparolu Kaj mi ankaŭ volas diri, ke mi pensas, ke la kial mi povas paroli Esperanton nun estas parte pro Ekparolu
23:29 Because I think that, in my opinion, the most important part of a language is speech Ĉar mi pensas ke, laŭ mi, la plej grava parto de lingvo estas parolado
23:37 So if you can’t find people to speak with, you can’t really speak Do se vi ne povas trovi homojn kun kiuj paroli, vi ne vere povas paroli
23:43 I’m really thankful for Ekparolu mi ' Mi vere dankas pro Ekparolu
23:46 And I have a lot of friends now from Ekparolu Kaj mi havas multajn amikojn nun de Ekparolu Ankaŭ
23:52 My mom loves it, too mia panjo amas ĝin
23:56 She is another character, a different language learner than you Ŝi estas alia rolulo, alia lingvo pli ol vi
24:01 Maybe she needs a totally different method to learn, but it’s no big deal Eble ŝi bezonas tute alian metodon por lerni, sed ne gravas
24:07 Our “uncles” and “aunts” try to adapt and help Niaj "onkloj" kaj "onklinoj" provas adaptiĝi kaj helpi, ke
24:11 I always advise, speak with many diverse - dkon’t always speak with the same - search for new teachers mi ĉiam konsilas, parolas kun multaj diversaj - ne parolu ĉiam kun la sama - serĉu por novaj instruistoj
24:19 After five or six tries, return to who helped you the most Post kvin aŭ ses provoj, revenu al kiu plej helpis vin
24:25 Not everyone is the same, some speak more, others advise less Ne ĉiuj samas, iuj parolas pli, aliaj konsilas malpli
24:32 It’s how it is in a family, they help you with something Estas kiel en familio, ili helpas vin pri io
24:39 I think that you are a good example of that for us Mi pensas ke vi estas bona ekzemplo pri tio por ni
24:47 that yes, you were scared as everyone is scared to start talking tio jes, vi timis kiel ĉiuj timas ekparoli
24:52 but afterwards you enjoyed it, and like a big snow ball, became bigger and bigger sed poste vi ĝuis ĝin, kaj kiel granda neĝa globo, fariĝis pli kaj pli granda.
25:00 And in fact, you want to use the language Fakte, vi volas uzi la lingvon
25:04 Your videos - small in the beginning, simply Chelsea and snow, etc. Viaj filmetoj - malgrandaj en la komenco, simple Chelsea kaj neĝo, ktp.
25:12 And with your steps, you showed to us that you weren’t ashamed, and people like that Kaj per viaj paŝoj, vi montris al ni, ke vi ne hontas, kaj tiaj homoj
25:18 You don’t just learn, you apply it immediately Vi ne nur lernas, vi tuj aplikas ĝin.
25:22 You happily use it, you want to progress Vi feliĉe uzas ĝin, vi volas progresi
25:26 I’m very proud and glad that we could help you on that path Mi Mi tre fieras kaj ĝojas, ke ni povus helpi vin sur tiu vojo.
25:32 You also advertise for us, in a good way, because you tell people, Ankaŭ vi reklamas por ni laŭ bona maniero, ĉar vi diras al homoj,
25:39 “Yes, Ekparolu, the “uncles” and “aunts” helped me.” "Jes, Ekparolu, la" onkloj "kaj" onklinoj "helpis min."
25:43 We have a large capacity in Ekparolu Ni havas grandan kapaciton en Ekparolu
25:49 Weekly we offer five hundred, six hundred hours, sessions Semajna Ni ofertas kvincent, sescent horojn, kunsidojn
25:56 And people use maybe thirty Kaj homoj uzas eble tridek
25:58 So we could have many more people who need help Do ni povus havi multe pli da homoj, kiuj bezonas helpon
26:04 Maybe with time it will grow Eble kun la tempo kreskos
26:07 We will have community group lessons again Ni havos komunumajn grupajn lecionojn denove
26:14 Let me say, congratulations, Chelsea Lasu min diri, gratulon, Chelsea
26:16 You do really well - you are, for us, the ideal language learner Vi vere fartas bone - vi estas, por ni, la ideala lingvolernanto
26:22 The model, whose enthusiasm, whose dedication, diligence, courage, we’d like to have in every learner La modelo, kies entuziasmon, kies sindediĉon, diligentecon, kuraĝon, ni ŝatus havi en ĉiu lernanto
26:34 Thank you. Do you think that since the beginning of the pandemic, Ekparolu has more students? Dankon. Ĉu vi pensas, ke ekde la komenco de la pandemio, Ekparolu havas pli da studentoj?
26:43 I don’t know, but it seems that more people started learning or are learning Esperanto now because of the time in their lives Mi ne scias, sed ŝajnas ke pli multaj homoj eklernis aŭ lernas Esperanton nun pro la tempo en sia vivo
26:57 Yes, I noticed that growth, totally naturally Jes, mi rimarkis ke kresko, tute nature
27:04 Part of it is because of the pandemic, how the pandemic pushed people to Zoom and other virtual platforms, meetings Parto de ĝi estas pro la pandemio, kiel la pandemio puŝis homojn al Zoom kaj aliaj virtualaj platformoj, kunvenoj
27:14 Courses were born that wouldn’t have existed without the pandemic Naskiĝis kursoj, kiuj ne ekzistus sen la pandemio.
27:20 And amazingly, students from every part of the world study in London Kaj mirinde, studentoj de ĉiu mondoparto studas en Londono.
27:26 From that viewpoint, the pandemic helped Esperanto De tiu vidpunkto, la pandemio helpis Esperanton
27:31 For those who could participate in congresses who never could travel to congresses Por tiuj, kiuj povus partopreni kongresojn, kiuj neniam povus. vojaĝi al kongresoj
27:38 At Ekparolu we did - parallel to the pandemic, we started to do community lessons, not only one on one Ĉe Ekparolu ni faris - paralele al la pandemio, ni komencis fari komunumajn lecionojn, ne nur unu kontraŭ unu.
27:47 Those also brought us a big wave of students Ankaŭ tiuj alportis al ni grandan ondon da studentoj.
27:54 The pandemic probably helped us more, but also those community lessons La pandemio probable helpis nin pli, sed ankaŭ tiujn komunumajn lecionojn
28:02 We are glad, however ,we’d like the pandemic to end Ni ĝojas, tamen ni ŝatus, ke la pandemio finiĝu
28:08 Yes, me too, me too Jes, ankaŭ mi, ankaŭ
28:10 I think that this is an interesting question, I hope mi. Mi pensas, ke tio estas interesa demando, mi esperas.
28:13 Have you experienced, or experience now, difficulties because you are a woman who speaks a language that, in my opinion, mostly men speak? Ĉu vi spertis, aŭ spertis nun, malfacilaĵojn, ĉar vi estas virino, kiu parolas lingvon? ke, laŭ mi, plejparte viroj parolas?
28:27 Why do you think that the community is mostly men, and do you think that could change? Kial vi pensas, ke la komunumo plejparte estas viroj, kaj ĉu vi pensas, ke tio povus ŝanĝiĝi?
28:34 Look, those kinds of questions are usually raised by men, not women Vidu, tiajn demandojn kutime levas viroj, ne virinoj
28:41 But, I heard - no, I myself am liberated and feminist, so I can totally accept that statement Sed, mi aŭdis - ne, mi mem estas liberigita kaj feminisma, do mi povas tute akcepti tiun aserton
28:54 Not that we women are equal, but in the movement, you’re totally right, there are more men Ne ke ni virinoj estas egalaj, sed en la movado, vi estas tute pravas, estas pli da viroj
29:01 Especially the writers, the Academy, the important people on the UEA board are almost all men now Precipe la verkistoj, la Akademio, la gravaj homoj en la estraro de UEA estas preskaŭ ĉiuj viroj nun
29:12 The women work, they have to support a family; cook, bake, etc. That’s a joke La virinoj laboras, ili devas subteni familion; kuiri, baki, ktp. Tio estas
29:20 It’s sometimes a coincidence, because even between Esperanto speakers there are important women ŝerco. Fojfoje estas hazardo, ĉar eĉ inter esperantoparolantoj estas gravaj virinoj
29:26 We’re not worth less, and I never had a negative remark like, Ni ne valoras malpli, kaj mi neniam havis negativan rimarkon kiel
29:35 “You women, don’t say that.” "Vi virinoj, ne diru tion."
29:37 It’s the opposite Estas la malo
29:38 They say, “Finally, come to the Academy, we want women!” Ili diras, "Fine, venu al la Akademio, ni volas virinojn!"
29:44 I think that in “Esperantujo,” they’d be glad to have more young women, even older women Mi pensas, ke en "Esperantujo" ili ĝojus havi pli da junaj virinoj, eĉ pli maljunaj virinoj.
29:53 They are glad, they trust - but because of the natural reasons, that’s not always how it is Ili ĝojas, ili fidas - sed pro la naturaj kialoj, ne ĉiam tiel estas
30:02 In “Esperantujo,” we have to travel a lot en "Esperantujo", ni devas multe vojaĝas
30:05 Women aren’t always allowed to travel alone in every culture Virinoj ne ĉiam rajtas vojaĝi solaj en ĉiu kulturo
30:11 I had a course participant from Iran who had difficulties coming to the congress alone, for example Mi havis kursan partoprenanton el Irano, kiu havis malfacilaĵojn veni al la kongreso sola, ekzemple
30:21 It’s also other countries Estas ankaŭ aliaj landoj
30:23 Some don’t grow that much, or become famous, important people in “Esperantujo” Iuj ne tiel kreskas, aŭ famiĝas, gravas homoj en "Esperantujo"
30:32 and part of that, not all, but part, comes from that kaj parto de tio, ne ĉiuj, sed parto, devenas de tio
30:37 Maybe they’re not that free because of their home conditions to participate in the movement Eble ili ne estas tiel liberaj pro siaj hejmaj kondiĉoj por partopreni en la movado
30:46 Not everyone is so open-minded Ne ĉiuj estas tiel senantaŭjuĝaj
30:49 I don’t know, it’s a very complex question, but I myself never experienced that mi ne scias, ĝi estas tre kompleksa demando, sed mi mem neniam spertis tion
30:55 and I would refuse even the thought that anyone is less valuable because they are a woman kaj mi rifuzus eĉ la penson, ke iu malpli valoras ĉar ili estas virino
31:03 Definitely not Sendube ne
31:04 That really doesn’t characterize “Esperantujo” Tio vere ne karakterizas "Esperantujon"
31:07 Maybe some politicians, parties, but in Esperanto - Eble iuj politikistoj, partioj, sed en Esperanto -
31:13 It’s lacking women, and everyone would like to have more women Ĝi estas mankas virinoj, kaj ĉiuj volus havi pli da virinoj
31:16 Chelsea, you’re young, you have double the chance to do something in “Esperantujo” Chelsea, vi estas juna, vi havas duoblan ŝancon fari ion en "Esperantujo"
31:23 I agree that - I never experienced problems with that Mi konsentas, ke - mi neniam spertis problemojn kun tio,
31:29 I always want to know why more women Esperanto speakers don’t exist mi ĉiam volas scii, kial ne ekzistas pli da virinoj parolantaj esperantistojn
31:36 Yes, that’s one of the most interesting parts of Esperanto for me Jes, tio estas unu el la plej interesaj partoj de Esperanto por mi
31:43 You spoke about Iran Vi parolis pri Irano
31:46 In the USA - I don’t know about other countries - but in the USA, and for me, we don’t think about a lot of other cultures En Usono - mi ne scias pri aliaj landoj - sed en Usono, kaj por mi, ni ne pensas pri multaj aliaj kulturoj
31:58 Because we live in the big USA, and we don’t travel often because it’s very difficult to travel from the USA Ĉar ni loĝas en la granda Usono, kaj ni ne ofte vojaĝas, ĉar tre malfacile vojaĝi el Usono
32:07 Esperanto is wonderful, in my opinion, because I can learn about other cultures which I hadn’t thought about before Esperanto estas laŭ mi mirinda, ĉar mi povas lerni pri aliaj kulturoj, pri kiuj mi ne pensis antaŭe,
32:17 I’ll ask you something, if you allow me mi demandos al vi ion, ĉu vi permesas al mi
32:20 Were you totally aware of geography in Europe? Ĉu vi estis tute konscia pri geografio en Eŭropo?
32:26 Did you know before where Poland, Austria, or anything was? Ĉu vi antaŭe sciis, kie estas Pollando, Aŭstrio aŭ io ajn?
32:31 Was it clear to you as a young person? Ĉu estis klare al vi kiel junulo?
32:34 Yes, but only because I loved geography Jes, sed nur ĉar mi amis geografion,
32:39 I didn’t go to school, I learned at home mi ne iris al lernejo, mi lernis hejme
32:44 So I could lean about anything I wanted Do mi povis klini pri ĉio, kion mi volis, ke
32:51 I loved that, so I memorized the entire map of the world mi amis tion, do mi parkerigis la tutan mapon de la mondo
32:59 For many, geography begins only when they have Esperanto friends and they see, “Powell lives there, Katalin lives there.” Por multaj, geografio komenciĝas nur kiam ili havas Esperantaj amikoj kaj ili vidas, "Powell loĝas tie, Katalin loĝas tie."
33:10 I myself learned a lot about geography thanks courses and Esperanto speakers Mi mem lernis multon pri geografio dank'e al kursoj kaj parolantoj de Esperanto.
33:17 Now if there’s a catastrophe somewhere or news, I immediately think, Nun se estas katastrofo ie aŭ novaĵo, mi tuj pensas,
33:23 “Is that Esperanto speaker, in the Dominican…I have to write and ask.” "Ĉu tiu esperantisto, en la dominikano ... Mi devas skribi kaj demandi."
33:29 The world became part of my life through those personal friends La mondo fariĝis parto de mia vivo per tiuj personaj amikoj.
33:35 You’re beginning to experience that now Vi komencas sperti, ke nun
33:40 I want that for you, that your world should grow, grow, grow mi volas tion por vi, ke via mondo kresku, kresku, kresku.
33:46 I thought before that I knew a lot about the world Mi pensis antaŭe, ke mi sciis multon pri la mondo.
33:51 I think that a lot of young people think that Mi pensas, ke multe. de junuloj opinias,
33:54 It’s one thing if you read about countries ke Unu afero estas, se vi legas pri landoj.
33:59 It’s another thing if you speak with people from the country and about the country and culture Estas alia afero, se vi parolas kun homoj de la lando kaj pri la lando kaj kulturo.
34:09 It’s a totally different thing Estas tute alia afero.
34:11 It enriches people from that viewpoint as well Ĝi riĉigas homojn ankaŭ laŭ tiu vidpunkto.
34:16 In your opinion, what’s the best way to talk to people about Esperanto so that they’ll want to learn it? Laŭ via opinio, kio estas la plej bona maniero paroli kun homoj pri Esperanto por ke ili volu lerni ĝin?
34:26 When I speak with people about Esperanto, they totally don’t know the language, they’ve never heard of the language Kiam mi parolas kun homoj pri Esperanto, ili tute ne scias la lingvon, ili neniam aŭdis pri la lingvo
34:36 And they don’t know why - why should I learn Esperanto? Kaj ili ne scias kial - kial mi lernu Esperanton?
34:40 I don’t want to sound to them like I’m in - I don’t know the word in Esperanto - in a cult Mi ne volas soni al ili kiel mi estas - mi ne konas la vorton en Esperanto - en kulto
34:49 Crazy, small group, right? Freneza, malgranda grupo, ĉu ne?
34:51 In a sect, or something that is very imposing En sekto, aŭ io tre impona,
34:55 I’ll say some things that you shouldn’t do, and then you’ll already get to that mi diros iujn aferojn, kiujn vi ne faru, kaj tiam vi atingos tion
35:02 Don’t immediately say, “Esperanto is wonderful, you have to learn it, you have to learn!” Ne tuj diru, "Esperanto estas mirinda, vi devas lerni ĝin, vi devas lerni! "
35:06 Don’t say that, because if you say to someone that they have to do something, people immediately get stuck Ne diru tion, ĉar se vi diras al iu, ke ili devas fari ion, homoj tuj blokiĝas
35:13 Totally no Tute ne
35:14 And don’t say that Esperanto is so easy that in thirty days, or in seven months, you can learn it perfectly Kaj ne diru, ke Esperanto estas tiel facila, ke post tridek tagoj aŭ post sep monatoj vi povas lerni ĝin perfekte.
35:25 But you can say that Esperanto is way easier than other languages Sed vi povas diri, ke Esperanto estas multe pli facila ol aliaj lingvoj.
35:31 You need maybe a tenth or a third of the time for - so, be real, because if you lie, they’ll catch you Vi bezonas eble dekonon aŭ trionon de la tempo por - do estu reala, ĉar se vi mensogas, ili kaptos vin.
35:42 But what is the most important thing, in my opinion? Sed kio estas la plej grava, en mia opinio?
35:46 Don’t speak about Esperanto as a language and community Ne parolu pri Esperanto kiel lingvo kaj komunumo
35:51 That comes later Tio venas poste
35:53 Simply speak about the experiences, about the friends who you have thanks to Esperanto Simple parolu pri la spertoj, pri la amikoj, kiujn vi havas danke al Esperanto
36:01 After your first trip, first congress, first friendships, talk about the experiences that you enjoyed Post via unua vojaĝo, unua kongreso, unuaj amikecoj, parolu pri la spertoj, kiujn vi ĝuis,
36:11 Your videos are the same experiences Viaj filmetoj estas la samaj spertoj
36:14 “What language is she speaking so happily?” "Kian lingvon ŝi parolas tiel feliĉe?"
36:18 People will start to become interested Homoj ekinteresiĝos
36:20 We shouldn’t try to force Esperanto, but we should tell about our wonderful experiences so that the desire will grow in people Ni ne provu devigi Esperanton, sed ni rakontu pri niaj mirindaj spertoj por ke la deziro kresku ĉe homoj
36:32 “I want to have that too, I want to travel too, I want friends in that country too!” "Ankaŭ mi volas havi tion, mi ankaŭ volas vojaĝi, mi volas amikojn en tio ankaŭ lando! "
36:38 Yes? So, learn Esperanto! Jes? Do lernu Esperanton!
36:41 Do you understand? Ĉu vi komprenas?
36:43 Let’s not force them, let’s not beg them to learn Ni ne devigu ilin, ni ne petu ilin lerni
36:47 They should beg us to give them the secret Ili devas petegi nin doni al ili la sekreton
36:50 And we need to say, “I need to think about if you’re worthy of that secret.” Kaj ni devas diri, "Mi bezonas pripensi, ĉu vi indas tiun sekreton."
36:56 Do you understand? Ĉu vi komprenas?
36:59 We have - I always say - we have a miracle in our hands, we Esperanto speakers Ni havas - mi ĉiam diras - ni havas miraklon en niaj manoj, ni esperantoparolantoj
37:06 Let’s not throw pearls to pigs Ni ne ĵetu perlojn al porkoj
37:10 They should ask us, “Teach me, I want to have friends too.” Ili devas demandi nin: "Instruu min, mi ankaŭ volas havi amikojn."
37:15 They’ll have that if we tell them, show them things that enriched you thanks to Esperanto Ili havos tion, se ni diros al ili, montros al ili aferojn, kiuj riĉigis vin danke al Esperanto.
37:24 We need to go from another direction Ni devas iri de alia direkto.
37:28 Create the need in people so that they think, “I would like to be that happy, too. Travel, have friends.” Krei la bezonon ĉe homoj, por ke ili pensu: "Ankaŭ mi volus esti tiel feliĉa. Vojaĝu, havu amikoj. "
37:39 That’s it Jen tio
37:40 Many Esperanto speakers mess up the recruitment, the propaganda - I don’t like that word, we should say, “information” - about Esperanto, by coercion Multaj E-istoj fuŝas la varbadon, la propagandon - mi ne ŝatas tiun vorton, ni devus diri, "informoj" - pri Esperanto, per devigo
37:55 To forcibly say, “You have to learn.” Por perforte diri: "Vi devas lerni."
37:58 No, that doesn’t help Ne, tio ne helpas,
38:01 I truly advise that you do that mi vere konsilas, ke vi faru tion
38:05 And then you’ll be successful Kaj tiam vi sukcesos
38:07 If you could say - this is the last question - if you could give one pice of advice to beginners, what would you say? Se vi povus diri - jen la lasta demando - se vi povus doni unu konsilon al komencantoj, kion vi dirus?
38:17 One? One is very difficult Unu? Unu estas tre malfacila
38:22 Enthusiasm and diligence, that’s two pieces of advice Entuziasmo kaj diligento, tio estas du konsiloj
38:27 Enthusiasm, diligence, and the other advice is, first learn the words and think about the words, and after that, create sentences Entuziasmo, diligenteco, kaj la alia konsilo estas, unue lerni la vortojn kaj pensi pri la vortoj, kaj poste krei frazojn
38:40 But without heart, without dedication, without enthusiasm, your own belief and desire to do it, you won’t succeed Sed sen koro, sen sindediĉo, sen entuziasmo, via propran kredon kaj deziron fari ĝin, vi ne sukcesos
38:52 If your mother were to say to you, “Chelsea, you have to learn Esperanto,” maybe that wouldn’t work Se via patrino dirus al vi "Chelsea, vi devas lerni Esperanton", eble tio ne funkcius
39:00 Maybe it happened in the opposite way, you said to her, I don’t know, maybe in that way Eble ĝi okazis male, vi diris al ŝi , Mi ne scias, eble tiel
39:05 If someone says that, you have to say no. You have to want to do it Se iu diras tion, vi devas diri ne. Vi devas voli fari ĝin
39:10 And if you want it, and persistently work - you succeed in nothing in life that you don’t really want Kaj se vi volas ĝin, kaj persiste laboras - vi sukcesas pri nenio en la vivo, kion vi ne vere volas.
39:21 If you don’t dedicate yourself - time, energy, give up movie theaters and movies, because - Se vi ne dediĉas vin - tempon, energion, rezignu kinejojn kaj filmojn, ĉar -
39:32 You have to give up things in favor of something else Vi devas rezigni aferojn favore al io alia
39:35 It’s an investment Estas
39:37 To get married or love someone, that’s also an investment investo Edziĝi aŭ ami iun, tio ankaŭ estas investo
39:42 To learn something new is an investment, and you have to believe in that Lerni ion novan estas investo, kaj vi devas kredi je tio
39:49 If you believe, you’re not wasting yourself, you’re giving yourself fully Se vi kredas, vi ne malŝparas vi mem, vi donas vin plene
39:55 That carries you to success Tio portas vin al sukceso
39:58 Enthusiasm, belief, love are the base for everything Entuziasmo, kredo, amo estas la bazo por ĉio, kion
40:04 I agree. I tried to learn Spanish when I was young, but I didn’t really want to mi konsentas. Mi provis lerni la hispanan kiam mi estis juna, sed mi ne vere volis.
40:12 My mom wanted me to learn Mia panjo volis, ke mi lernu.
40:14 And I can’t speak Spanish now Kaj mi ne povas paroli la hispanan nun.
40:19 So yes, I agree Do jes, mi konsentas
40:22 Do you want to say anything else that I didn’t mention? . Ĉu vi volas diri ion alian, kion mi ne menciis? ?
40:25 I’d like to say a lot, but - Mi ŝatus diri multon, sed -
40:29 I don’t want too long of an interview, people will fall asleep mi ne volas tro longe intervjuon, homoj endormiĝos.
40:33 I repeat that what you do - you are a new star for us in the movement Mi ripetas tion, kion vi faras - vi estas nova stelo por ni en la movado
40:42 Yes, people are starting to watch you Jes, homoj komencas rigardi vi
40:44 I could mention some others who did similar videos, etc., for one, two, three years, went in a direction Mi povus mencii iujn aliajn, kiuj faris similajn filmetojn, ktp., dum unu, du, tri jaroj, iris laŭ direkto
40:56 Now, people are starting to watch you, so do well, and we are thankful Nun, homoj komencas rigardi vin, do faru bone, kaj ni dankas.
41:02 We see the usefulness of Esperanto in real life Ni vidas la utilecon de Esperanto en reala vivo
41:08 It could change your world perception, your life, and you didn’t just do lessons in books Ĝi povus ŝanĝi vian mondpercepton, vian vivon, kaj vi ne nur faris lecionojn en libroj
41:18 You immediately wanted to apply it, you want to travel, later you came with videos Vi tuj volis apliki ĝin, vi volas vojaĝi, poste vi venis kun filmetoj
41:23 Maybe you’ll do plays in Esperanto later, I don’t know, travel reports Eble vi faros teatraĵojn en Esperanto poste, mi ne scias, vojaĝraportoj
41:30 As long as you enjoy it Dum vi ĝuas ĝin
41:32 Grow your circle of friends, ask for help if you need it Kreskigu vian amikaron, petu helpon se vi bezonas
41:39 Never stop learning Esperanto, because even I can find new things to learn after forty years Neniam ĉesu lerni Esperanton, ĉar eĉ mi povas trovi novajn aferojn lerni post kvardek jaroj
41:49 We even find new things in our native languages Ni eĉ trovas novajn aferojn en nia gepatraj lingvoj
41:54 We never finish that Ni neniam finas tion.
41:57 That is - for me, I am already a full-fledged Esperanto speaker Tio estas - por mi, mi jam estas plenvalora esperantisto.
42:02 You are on a good path Vi estas sur bona vojo
42:04 Never leave it Ne. lasu ĝin
42:06 Maybe sometimes it’ll be smaller, less important Eble foje ĝi estos pli malgranda, malpli grava
42:11 because love will come, children will come, but save it ĉar amo venos, infanoj venos, sed konservu ĝin
42:18 Take care of it, dedicate yourself when you have the opportunity Prizorgu ĝin, dediĉu vin kiam vi havos la ŝancon
42:23 But I think that you are already infected Sed mi pensas ke vi jam estas infektita
42:27 Yes, totally Jes, tute
42:28 And I wish for you big, great success and joy from that Kaj mi deziras al vi grandan, grandan sukceson kaj ĝojon pro tio
42:36 Thank you for the interview, and I hope to talk to you again soon Dankon pro la intervjuo, kaj mi esperas paroli al vi baldaŭ
42:44 Success, Chelsea. Thank you Sukceson, Chelsea. Dankon
42:51 Interesting, right? Interese, ĉu ne?
42:52 Thank you to Katalin for the interview, and many thanks to you, my supporters Dankon al Katalin pro la intervjuo, kaj multajn dankojn al vi, miaj subtenantoj
43:00 It was a long month for me, but I hope you enjoyed it . Estis longa monato por mi, sed mi esperas, ke vi ĝuis ĝin.
43:05 I certainly learned a lot Mi certe lernis multon.
43:07 Maybe I’ll do interviews again, but first I need a break Eble mi faros intervjuojn denove, sed unue mi bezonas paŭzon
43:13 Do you want to see more interviews? Tell me in the comments! . Faru ĉu vi volas vidi pli da intervjuoj? Diru al mi en la komentoj!
43:17 This was a big month, but I have more videos for you in the future Ĉi tio estis bonega monato, sed mi havas pli da filmetoj por vi estontece.
43:22 And if you want to, join my Patreon Kaj se vi volas, aliĝu al mia Patreon.
43:25 I hope that you liked my video Mi esperas, ke vi ŝatis mian filmeton.

No Cash Flow

buenos dias leonardo. es tarde aquí.
Esta semana ha sido bastante difícil.
El flujo de caja de nuestra empresa
es muy semanal y mis clientes están
retrasando el pago. todos mis
subcontratistas quieren que se les
pague al mismo tiempo.

No estudié demasiado español esta semana,
pero comencé a leer el libro
"Easy Spanish Reader". Es muy básico y no
muy desafiante, pero me gusta.

Estar endeudado es una de las cosas más
difíciles. El mundo deja de funcionar
cuando no puedes pagar por hacer las
cosas.

good morning leonardo. it is afternoon here. This week has been quite difficult. Our company cash flow is very week and my clients are delaying payment. my subcontractors all want to be paid at the same time.

(Negra is slang for beautiful woman & Negrita is slang for beautiful girl. Tumbao is a sexy confident woman who walk with a swag)

The girl walkin over there
The girl has swag
and when they look at her
her dance is tight

The woman has swag
Ah Suga, Suga
and needs no one by her side

If you want to approach her
Best you go straight to her
so you don't trip
and get to her successfully

If you want to get there first
best you run cautiously
enjoy life
even though you don' take risks
Ah suga

The womans got swag
and needs no one by her side

When people die (oh my God )
they said she was great
great the way she loved life
like the night and the day

So when you approach me it is best you tell me the truth
I will not tolerate lies (haters)
Enjoy your life
even though you do not take risks

Ah Suga

The womans got swag
and needs no one by her side

(Male Rap)
The woman has swag
and needs no one by her side

Goddes of the night and sweet as a melon
I have never met a woman like you

Come here so I can compare you to others
because it is you my beautiful woman that makes me happy

I want no other
It is you who inspires me
without you I would die
I would miss you if you broke my heart
I do not want anyone else
without you I would feel desperate
If you left me
I would die without you

This girl has swag
the men are always persuing her path

The womans got swag
and NEVER needs to have anyone by her side

PROLOGUE

The first Galactic Empire was falling. It had been decaying and breaking down for centuries and only one man fully realized that fact.

He was Hari Seldom the last great scientist of the First Empire, and it was he who perfected psychohistory - the science of human behavior reduced to mathematical equations.

The individual human being is unpredictable, but the reactions of human mobs, Seldon found, could be treated statistically. The larger the mob, the greater the accuracy that could be achieved. And the size of the human masses that Seldon worked with was no less than the population of all the inhabited millions of worlds of the Galaxy.

Afirmaciones cientificas para la curation

RESEÑA DE ESTA OBRA
Cuando Paramahansa Yogananda presentó por primera vez,
hace más de ochenta años, los principios y técnicas expuestos
en Afirmaciones cientificas para la curación, habrían aún de transcurrir
décadas antes de que tuvieran lugar los descubrimientos que han evidenciado
la conexión entre el cuerpo y la mente en el proceso de curación.

A lo largo de esos años, esta obra precursora ha enseñado a cientos de miles
de lectores los conocimientos básicos que permiten alcanzar y aplicar
directamente los extraordinarios poderes curativos ocultos
en cada ser humano.

Tales conocimientos están ahora abriéndose camino en la medicina tradicional
gracias a la visión convergente de la física, la psicología, la neurociencia
y la espiritualidad

Fue durante un ciclo de conferencias que tuvo lugar en 1924 en la ciudad
de Portland (Oregón), cuando Paramahansa Yoganand.a VII

La Ruse du Cerf

La Ruse du Cerf

Un conte chinois

Un tigre se promenait un jour sur un versant de colline.
Soudain, il a vu un petit cerf tacheté qui broutait l’herbe
verte sous les arbres.

Ĉina fabelo

Tigro promenis unu tagon sur la deklivo de monteto.
Subite li vidis malgrandan makulan cervon paŝti sur la herbo
verda sub la arboj.

Le cerf a remarqué le tigre. Il était terrifié. Il était paralysé de frayeur.
Impossible de s’enfuir ! Alors, il a pris son courage à deux
mains ( ou à deux pattes ! ) et il a décidé de tromper le tigre.
Il savait que celui-ci n’avait encore jamais vu un cerf de sa vie.

La cervo rimarkis la tigron. Li estis terurita. Li estis paralizita de timo.
Neeble eskapi! Do li kune kuraĝis
manoj (aŭ dukruraj!) kaj li decidis trompi la tigron.
Li sciis, ke li neniam vidis cervon en sia vivo.

Le cerf a fait comme s’il n’avait pas remarqué le tigre.
Il s’est retourné et il a continué à brouter tranquillement.
Le tigre était très étonné.
Il a pensé : « Pourquoi donc cet animal bizarre ne se sauve-t-il pas ? »

La cervo ŝajnigis, ke li ne rimarkis la tigron.
Li turnis sin kaj daŭre paŝtiĝis kviete.
La tigro tre surpriziĝis.
Li pensis, "Kial ĉi tiu stranga besto forkuras?" "

Il s’est approché du cerf et il lui a demandé :
– Dites-moi, mon brave, à quoi vous servent les cornes que vous portez sur la tête ?
– A déchirer les tigres. a répondu le cerf.
– Et, dites-moi, pourquoi avez-vous toutes ces taches blanches sur le dos? a demandé le tigre.

Li aliris la cervon kaj demandis lin:
- Diru al mi, mia bonulo, por kio servas la kornoj, kiujn vi portas sur via kapo?
- Disŝiri tigrojn. respondis la cervo.
- Kaj, diru al mi, kial vi havas ĉiujn ĉi blankajn makulojn sur via dorso? demandis la tigro.

Le cerf lui a répondu :
– Chaque fois que je dévore un tigre, une tache blanche s’ajoute aux précédentes.
Et j’en ai tellement dévoré, des tigres, que je n’arrive même plus à les compter toutes.

La cervo respondis:
- Ĉiufoje, kiam mi voras tigron, blanka makulo aldoniĝas al la antaŭaj.
Kaj mi manĝis tiom da tigroj, ke mi eĉ ne povas kalkuli ĉiujn.

En entendant ces mots, le tigre a pris peur et il s’est sauvé.
Il a rencontré sur sa route un renard à qui il a raconté toute l’histoire.

Aŭdinte ĉi tiujn vortojn, la tigro ektimis kaj fuĝis.
Survoje li renkontis vulpon, al kiu li rakontis la tutan historion.

Le renard a ri :
– Le petit cerf tacheté s’est moqué de toi, a-t-il dit.
Mais le tigre ne le croyait pas et il continuait de trembler de frayeur.
– Puisque tu as si peur, a dit le renard, permets-moi de grimper sur ton dos,
et nous irons ensemble voir le cerf pour en avoir le cœur net.

La vulpo ridis:
"La malgranda makula cervo ridis pri vi," li diris.
Sed la tigro ne kredis lin kaj li daŭre tremis pro timo.
- Ĉar vi tiel timas, diris la vulpo, permesu al mi grimpi sur vian dorson,
kaj ni iros kune por vidi la cervojn por atingi la fundon de ĝi.

Lorsque le petit cerf les a vus, il a compris que le tigre avait tout
raconté au renard.
Il a pensé : « Comment faire pour échapper au danger ? »

Kiam la malgranda cervo vidis ilin, li komprenis, ke la tigro havas ĉion
rakontis al la vulpo.
Li pensis, "Kiel mi eliras el danĝero? "

Brusquement, il s’est écrié de sa plus belle voix :
– Merci, frérot ! Merci, cher petit renard ! Tu m’avais promis hier un bon gros tigre,
et je vois que tu sais tenir parole.

Subite li ekkriis per sia plej bela voĉo:
- Dankon, frato! Dankon, kara vulpeto! Vi promesis al mi grandan dikan tigron hieraŭ,
kaj mi vidas, ke vi scias plenumi vian vorton.

Quel tigre splendide tu m’amènes ! Et juste à l’heure du déjeuner !

À ces mots, le tigre a sauté et il s’est enfui à toutes jambes…

Kian belegan tigron vi alportas al mi! Kaj ĝuste tagmanĝe!

Je ĉi tiuj vortoj, la tigro eksaltis kaj forkuris plenrapide ...

Verda Bibilio,1935, Izrael Lejzerowicz

Ĉhapitro 1

1. En la komenco la Senkorpa Mistero kreis Volapükon.

2. Kaj Volapük estis senforma kaj kaosa,
 kaj mallumo estis en ĝi.

3. Kaj la Senkorpa Mistero diris:
 Estu lumo; kaj fariĝis Esperanto.

4. Kaj la Spirito vidis Esperanton, ke ĝi estas bona:
 kaj la Spirito apartigis Esperanton de Volapük.

5. Kaj la Spirito nomis Esperanton Eterna Tago,
 kaj Volapükon nomis Nokto.
 Kaj estis vespero, kaj estis mateno - unu tago.

6. Kaj la Spirito diris: Estu firmaĵo en la lingvo.

7. Kaj la Spirito kreis tiun firmaĵon.

8. Kaj Li nomis la firmaĵon regula akcento.
 Kaj estis vespero, kaj estis mateno, la dua tago.

9. Kaj la Spirito diris: Kolektiĝu la reguloj
 gramatikaj en unu lokon, kaj aperu la firma grundo;
 kaj fariĝis tiel.

 Kaj la Spirito nomis la firman grundon Fundamento.
 Kaj la Spirito vidis, ke ĝi estas bona.

10.Kaj la Spirito diris: La Fundamento kreskigu verdaĵon,
 kiu naskas gojon, vortaron, kiu donas laŭ sia speco radikojn,
 kies semoj estas en ĝi mem, en la Fundamento.
 Kaj fariĝis tiel.

11.Kaj la Fundamento elkreskigis verdaĵon laŭ sia
 speco: verdan lingvon kaj verdan movadon,
 vortaron kaj arbon, kiu havas radikojn, kies
 semo estas en ĝi mem, en la Fundamento.
 Kaj la Spirito vidis, ke ĝi estas bona.

12.Kaj estis vespero, kaj estis mateno,
 la tria tago.

13.Kaj la Spirito diris: Estu lumaſo en la ĉiela
 firmajo, por apartigi Esperanton de mallumo.

14.Kaj ĝi estu lumaĵo por lumi super la tero;
 kaj fariĝis tiel.

15.Kaj la Spirito faris la
 grandan lumaĵon por regi la mondon.

16.Kaj la Spirito starigis ĝin sur la ĉiela firmajo,
 por ke ĝi lumu sur la teron.

17.Kaj la Spirito nomis la lumajon Verda Stelo.
 Kaj la Spirito vidis, ke ĝi estas bona.

18.Kaj estis vespero, kaj estis mateno, la kvara tago.

19.Kaj la Spirito diris: la vortaro aperigu moviĝantaĵon,
 vivajn estajojn kiuj fleksebligos la Lingvon.

20.Kaj la Spirito kreis afiksojn,
 kiujn aperigis la Vortaro, la sufiksojn kaj
 prefiksojn laŭ ilia speco. Kaj la Spirito vidis,
 ke ĝi estas bona.

21.Kaj la Spirito benis ilin dirante: Fruktu kaj multiĝu,
 kaj plenigu la vortaron.
 (Kaj tial afiksoj tiel multiĝas ĝis nun.) y

22.Kaj estis vespero, kaj estis mateno, la kvina tago.

23.Kaj la Spirito diris: La vortaro aperigu
 vivajn estaĵojn, brutojn kaj vermojn.

24.Kaj la Spirito kreis la neologismojn kaj ĉiujn
 malfacilajn vortojn, laŭ ilia speco, por eterna
 turmento de la novaj verduloj.

25.Kaj la Spirito diris: Ni kreu potencan aferon, kiu
 respegulos nian internan potencon; kaj ĝi estu la
 akso de la lingvo kaj ĝi regu ĝian gramatikon.

26.Kaj la Spirito kreis la Akuzativon;
 en formo de la finaĵo N. Li kreis ĝin.

27.Kaj la Spirito diris: Fruktu kaj multiĝu kaj plenigu
 la verdan lingvon kaj regu super ĉiuj ceteraj reguloj
 de la Fundamento. (Kaj depost tiam ĉiuj verduloj uzas
 la akuzativon en troa abundo.)

28.Kaj la Spirito diris: Jen mi donis al vi ĉiujn
 regulojn de la Fundamento. Gi estu por vi sanktajo.
 Kaj fariĝis tiel.

29.Kaj la Spirito rigardis ĉion, kion Li kreis, kaj
 vidis, ke ĝi estas tre bona. Kaj estis vespero,
 kaj estis mateno. la sesa tago.

30.Kaj estis finitaj la Fundamento kaj Radikaro kaj
 ĉiuj aliaj apartenaſoj.

31.Kaj la Spirito finis en la sepa tago sian laboron,
 kiun li faris, kaj li ripozis en la sepa tago de la
 tuta laboro, kiun li faris.

32.Kaj la Spirito benis la sepan tagon kaj sanktigis
 ĝin, ĉar en ĝi Li ripozis, legante la originalan
 literaturon, kiun Li faris kreante.

Spiritual Wake Up

Tenu glason aŭ tason per ambaŭ manoj kaj asertu jenon:

"Mi volas vekiĝi, mi volas vekiĝi ..."

Imagu la intencon penetri ĉiujn atomojn de la likvaĵo,

kaj dum vi trinkas, fidu, ke ĝi iras al ĉiuj viaj korpaj ĉeloj,

inkluzive la neŭronojn en via cerbo.

Ĝi daŭras kelkajn sekundojn, sed ĝi certe helpos. Sentu la urĝecon laŭeble.

Ĉefe, kio vere gravas, estas via sincereco;

via sincera deziro vekiĝi.

Hold a glass or cup with both hands and affirm the following: “I want to wake-up, I want to wake-up…”

Wake up Early

Wake up Early

I like to wake up early in the morning. It is nice. It is nice because the house is quiet. The Children are asleep. The televisions are off. There is no kettle or coffee machine making noise in the background.

When you wake up early there is very little noise. At first light when the sun comes up, sunrise, the sky slowly becomes visible. The birds start to sing at this time.

[Chorus]
 G Em C D
Oh where, oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me
G Em C D G G
 She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I leave this world

[Verse 1]
 G Em C D
We were out on a date in my daddy's car, we hadn't driven very far
G Em C D
There in the road, straight ahead, a car was stalled, the engine was dead
G Em C D
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right, I’ll never forget the sound that night
 G Em C D G G
The screaming tires, the bustin' glass, the painful scream that I heard last

[Chorus]
 G Em C D
Oh where, oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me
G Em C D G G
 She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I leave this world

[Verse 2]
 G Em C D
When I woke up, the rain was pouring down, there were people standing all around
G Em C D
Something warm going through my eyes, but somehow I found my baby that night
 G Em C D
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said: Hold me darling just a little while
 G Em C D
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss, I'd found the love that I knew I had missed
 G Em C D G G
Well, now she's gone, even though I hold her tight, I lost my love my life that night

[Chorus]
 G Em C D
Oh where, oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me
G Em C D G G
 She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I leave this world

Préface

DE O À 1

Le prochain Bill Gates ne bâtira pas de système d'exploitation.

Les prochains Larry Page ou Sergey Brin ne concevront
pas de moteur de recherche.

Et le prochain Mark Zuckerberg ne créera pas
de réseau social.

Si vous vous contentez de copier ces messieurs,
vous n'en apprendrez rien.

Certes, il est plus simple de copier un modèle
que d'inventer du neuf.

Faire ce qu'on sait déjà faire mène le monde de 1 à n,
en y ajoutant un élément déjà connu.

Mais chaque fois que l'on crée de la nouveauté, on passe de 0 à 1.

L'acte de création est singulier, tout comme l'instant de la création,
et le résultat se révèle à la fois neuf et insolite.

À moins de s'investir dans cette tâche difficile de
création de nouveaux objets, les entreprises échoueront,
même si, au présent, l'ampleur de leurs profits demeure intacte.

Antaŭparolo

DE O AL 1

La sekva Bill Gates ne konstruos operaciumon.

La sekva Larry Page aŭ Sergey Brin ne projektos serĉilon.

Kaj la sekva Mark Zuckerberg ne kreos socia reto.

Se vi simple kopias ĉi tiujn sinjorojn, vi lernos nenion.

Certe, estas pli facile kopii modelon ol elpensi ion novan.

Fari tion, kion ni jam scias fari, prenas la mondon de 1 ĝis n,
aldonante ion jam konatan al ĝi.

Sed ĉiufoje kiam ni kreas ion novan, ni iras de 0 al 1.

La ago de kreado estas unika, same kiel la momento de kreado,
kaj la rezulto estas nova kaj nekutima.

Krom se vi investos en ĉi tiu malfacila tasko de kreo de novaj objektoj,
kompanioj malsukcesas-faros, eĉ se, nuntempe, la grandon de iliaj profitoj
restas sendifekta.

"Ĉokolado estas perfekta manĝaĵo, tiel sana kiel bongusta,
bonfara restarigilo de elĉerpita forto...
ĝi estas la plej bona amiko de tiuj,
kiuj okupiĝas pri literaturaj aferoj."
• Justus, Barono de Liebig (1803-1873)

“Chocolate is a perfect food, as healthy as it is delicious, a benevolent restorer of exhausted strength … it is the best friend of those who are engaged in literary matters.” • Justus, Baron of Liebig (1803-1873)

Ĉiumatene mi vekiĝas, mi trinkas kafon kaj trinkas multan akvon.

Some days I go on the computer and write on my website, other days I practice the guitar.

Kelkajn tagojn mi iras sur la komputilon kaj skribas en mia retejo, aliajn tagojn mi praktikas la gitaron.

En Italio, kiel tra tuta Eŭropo kaj la mondo, tiuj ideoj fariĝis realaj, konkretaj, foje eĉ ŝtonaj: en la Adriatika Maro, 12 kilometrojn for de la itala marbordo, kaj 500 metrojn ekster la itala teritoria limo, Giorgio Rosa konstruis sian liberan ejon, kiu havis la nomon Esperantista Respubliko de la Insulo de la Rozoj.

What does it mean that something is difficult. It means that you find it hard to do what you want. Maybe you don’t understand the subject, or that you need to have better skills, perhaps it relies or the cooperation of many people.

Difficult things can be complex or they can be simple but require a lot of effort.

Spiritual Notes 1

These notes are based on my wide readings, however special attention and gratitude must be given to Anthony DeMello who’s book I was reading at the time of making these notes.

What is resisted will haunt you. Speak to you fears and pains with love and accept them.
Who am I, What am I? Ask this often. Who is this person doing the understanding
What is programmed into you? It is painful to have your illusions shattered, be grateful for it.
Neti Neti
What is the value of Labels?
Can the ‘I’ be a loser?. What is the Difference between ‘I’ and ‘me’
What is desire? How is it linked with ‘I’ and ‘me’?
Where does the self come from?
What is surrender?
Leave the heart to develop itself.
Walk alone, walk away from every formula. Even your own. Move into the unknown. Abandon every book, guide & guru. Accept what life brings
Aloneness is Silence
What is Love? Sensitivity to everything, pure attention to all, excluding nothing.
Drop Beliefs
Whenever you get irritated, look into yourself.
Efforts will get you nowhere.
Have you been programmed to be unhappy? A happiness based on Success.
The threat of loss, on control of the world.
Have you been trained to upset yourself?
What is the nature of attachments? Notice that you will always fail to meet all attachments.
You can’t achieve happiness, especially by being attached to outcomes.
Do you need this all? Achievement?
Remember that enjoyments is purely being engrossed in something joyfull.
What is the difference between worldly feelings and joy?
You attempt to gain the world and lose your soul. Is that right?
Fuck Self Improvement.
Stop all efforts to change the world.
Just understand yourself without trying to change yourself.
There is only one cause of unhappiness and that is false belief.
Look at the darkness.
True happiness is uncaused.
Is there even 1 happy person you know?
You just drop attachments.
Its a process of subtraction.
Spot false beliefs that is all.
When you obsess over something you become blind to everything else.
You become hardened and insensitive to everything else.
Be aware of what you are being, aware of and what you are ignoring.
Self Observation

He had what can be called a kundalini awakening
He lost interest in everything, his marriage failed, he became a pauper and roamed the streets of London for 3 years.
He said all teachers have fooled themselves

The Kings Secret - A Santali folktale

YouTube: The Kings Secret

Transcript

There once lived a king who had a son with the ears of an ox.
The king was ashamed of him,
and kept the prince hidden away
in a secluded room in the palace.
Soon the time came for the prince's
head-shaving ceremony.

Il était une fois un roi qui avait un fils avec des oreilles de bœuf.
Le roi avait honte de lui,
et a gardé le prince caché
dans une pièce isolée du palais.
Bientôt le temps est venu pour le prince
cérémonie du rasage de la tête.

The king called the royal barber
from another kingdom
and the ceremony
was held in secret.

Le roi a appelé le barbier royal
d'un autre royaume
et la cérémonie
a eu lieu en secret.

When it was finished,
the king summoned the barber
to his personal chamber
and warned him.

Quand c'était fini,
le roi convoqua le barbier
dans sa chambre personnelle
et l'a prévenu.

"Never tell anyone
about the prince's ears.
If you do, I will throw you
into the dungeon!"
The barber promised
not to say a word about it
to anyone.

"Ne dites jamais à personne
sur les oreilles du prince.
Si tu le fais, je te jetterai
dans le donjon!"
Le barbier a promis
pour ne pas en dire un mot
à qui que ce soit.

But alas, he was very bad
at keeping secrets.
Days passed
and his stomach began to swell.
"I must tell someone
or else my stomach will explode!"
thought the barber.

Mais hélas, il était très mauvais
à garder des secrets.
Les jours ont passé
et son estomac a commencé à gonfler.
"Je dois dire à quelqu'un
sinon mon estomac va exploser !"
pensa le barbier.

Just then a splendid idea
crossed his mind.
He walked up to an old tree
and quickly
whispered the secret to it.

Juste alors une idée splendide
traversa son esprit.
Il s'est approché d'un vieil arbre
et rapidement
lui chuchota le secret.

His stomach immediately
shrank back to its normal size,
and he felt much better.

Son ventre immédiatement
rétrécit à sa taille normale,
et il se sentait beaucoup mieux.

"The tree will definitely keep
the king's secret safe,"
said the barber to himself.

"L'arbre gardera certainement
le coffre-fort secret du roi",
se dit le barbier.

A few days later
a drummer came by
in search of some good wood
to make a new drum.

Quelques jours plus tard
un batteur est passé
à la recherche du bon bois
pour faire un nouveau tambour.

He stopped
in front of the same tree
the barber had whispered his secret to.
"This is exactly what I’m looking for!"
he thought to himself,
looking at the tree.

Il a arreté
devant le même arbre
le barbier lui avait chuchoté son secret.
"C'est exactement ce que je recherche !"
se dit-il,
en regardant l'arbre.

He soon made himself
a new drum
and went to the palace
to sing in front of the king.
The guard at the gate
was happy to see him.

Il s'est vite fait
un nouveau tambour
et est allé au palais
chanter devant le roi.
Le gardien à la porte
était content de le voir.

"Sing something to please the king.
He's in a bad mood today,"
said the guard.

"Chantez quelque chose pour plaire au roi.
Il est de mauvaise humeur aujourd'hui",
dit le gardien.

Suddenly
the drum began to sing on its own.
“I have a secret no one should hear.

Soudainement
le tambour se mit à chanter tout seul.
« J'ai un secret que personne ne devrait entendre.

The king's son has ox's ears!”
The guard quickly grabbed the drum
and shouted at the drummer,
"Nobody can reveal the king's secret!
Run away before someone catches you!"
But it was too late.

The king had heard the song
and ordered the drummer
to be brought in.

Le roi avait entendu la chanson
et commandé le batteur
être amené.

The poor drummer
was dragged into court.

Le pauvre batteur
a été traîné devant le tribunal.

"Throw him in the dungeon!"
thundered the king.

« Jetez-le dans le donjon ! »
tonna le roi.

"But he didn’t do it,”
said the guard.

"Mais il ne l'a pas fait"
dit le gardien.

“It was his drum, Your Majesty."
"Then throw the drum
in the dungeon too.

"C'était son tambour, Votre Majesté."
"Alors lance le tambour
dans le donjon aussi.

And punish
all those who heard
my secret!"
roared the king.

Et punir
tous ceux qui ont entendu
mon secret!"
rugit le roi.

He was so angry
that his mustache quivered.

Il était tellement en colère
que sa moustache tremblait.

The guard boldly stepped forward.

Le garde s'avança hardiment.

"Then you'd better throw
your whole kingdom into the dungeon,
Your Majesty,
because we all know your secret."

"Alors tu ferais mieux de jeter
tout ton royaume dans le cachot,
Votre Majesté,
parce que nous connaissons tous votre secret."

The king was stunned.

Le roi était abasourdi.

He looked at his most trusted minister.

Il regarda son ministre le plus fidèle.

"Is this true?" he asked.

"Est-ce vrai?" Il a demandé.

"Yes, Your Majesty.

"Oui votre Majesté.

We never said anything
because we didn't want to upset you,
replied the minister.

Nous n'avons jamais rien dit
parce que nous ne voulions pas vous contrarier,
répondit le ministre.

The king felt ashamed.

Le roi eut honte.

He realized what a cruel father he had been
to keep his son hidden away
for so many years.

Il a réalisé quel père cruel il avait été
garder son fils caché
pendant tant d'années.

The next day,
the king declared a holiday.

Le lendemain,
le roi a déclaré un jour férié.

He held a special parade
and proudly took his son
around the kingdom.

Il a organisé un défilé spécial
et prit fièrement son fils
autour du royaume.

Everyone cheered
and waved at the young prince
in spite of his ox’s ears.

Tout le monde a applaudi
et fit signe au jeune prince
malgré ses oreilles de bœuf.

The guard led the procession,
followed by the drummer,
who played his new drum.

Le garde menait le cortège,
suivi du batteur,
qui jouait de son nouveau tambour.

Vikid Swahili

Sun, 21 Mar 2021 05:11:39 +0400

Vikid Swahili

I travelled to Tanzania for the first time in 2019. It’s been a few years now but I thought it would be great to learn a little Swahili for whenever I go back.

Swahili is primarily spoken in East Afria and comes from the Bantu family of languages.

Radical Certainty

Sat, 28 Nov 2020 08:05:07 +0000

There is a good chance you will not like todays post. I have dispensed with the usual witticisms and imagery, going for a blander, direct approach…

Hotel California

I want to pose to you a radical idea. It’s not a new and certainly not mine. It’s something that has been floating around for at least a few thousand years and has been restated as many times, by all manner of teachers and traditions. It goes like this:

The Roman Red Pill

Tue, 24 Nov 2020 19:38:02 +0000

Cicero

I am currently being Romanized. Take the following quote that was sent to me this morning by a friend living in Mexico. It’s around 2075 years old.

“The budget must be balanced, the treasury’s coffers be replenished, public debt must go down, and bureaucrats’ arrogance must become mild. Foreign aid should cease, so that Rome does not go bankrupt.

People must learn to work again, and not expect to make a living from State handouts.”

Marcus Tullius Cicero

~ Year 55 B.C.

The Throne

Mon, 23 Nov 2020 06:14:33 +0000

The Game of Thrones is a essentially a story about the lengths, depths and depravities people will go to, to seek power and to attain ultimate dominion.

(Funny, that’s the name of the corporation that was entrusted with the US Election, don’t you think! Coincidence?)

I watched the first four seasons avidly. It was so well done, everything about it, the actors, costumes, cinematography, the betrayals, the cliff hangers and more. It just oozed with class and intrigue but ultimately I quit, long before the season 8 finale, thank heavens, because I saw the bait and switch.

Stunned by Stupidity

Sun, 22 Nov 2020 08:25:10 +0000

The sheer magnitude of what’s happening right now has me stunned with stupidity.
In 64 AD it is alleged that while Rome burnt, Emperor Nero played the fiddle. That’s probably not true, (yes fake news is that old) but it does conjure a vivid imagination.

Currently, we collectively watch Netflix as a torch is taken to our institutions and freedoms. I, not much more intelligently, meditated for the last 3 months, while this was going on. Effectively, it was nothing more than sticking my fingers in my ears while going, “la, la, la” or perhaps more accurately, “Om, Om, Om…”.

Le Camping

Sun, 15 Nov 2020 03:30:11 +0000

We had a fairly glorious day in the desert, camping this weekend. As troop of 9 dads & about 20 kids, we descended upon the open expanse of arid plains and sand dunes.

It felt like being a million miles away from the city. I was armed with my new robotic 8”telescope, a guitar and some booze. Tents were set up quite quickly and the kids let loose to roam freely.

Gaslit

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 06:28:42 +0000

There’s some advantage I’ve had over the years messing up life with such resounding frequency and success. To add to that fact I have willingly engaged with every kind of false “guru” either knowingly or unknowingly and experienced some profound skull-fuckery.

I’ve read around most political / economic / cultural theories and explored them through the various stages of history. This is an amazing adventure. Politics is nowhere near as boring as you think it is. It’s purposefully made boring in the mainstream to ensure that you never think about actually exploring the subject.

Buyer's Remorse

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 09:07:42 +0000

Last night I met friends for some drinks and to watch the English Premier League. They were very keen to see what I’d write about this morning. So, I will oblige!

In attendance we had the usual lawyer, private equity dude, investment banker, a camping expert and a couple of jokers. You know who you all are 😃.

The Solution to all Earthly problems

The Tides of History

Sat, 07 Nov 2020 16:36:45 +0000

(please turn images on in your email…)

Cesar

As we sit here watching the great fiasco’s of 2020 a curious thought crossed my mind.

If you have been thinking of politics for any time at all then you will be familiar with the comparison of our present day with the collapse of the Roman Empire. There are so many similarities…

It’s easy to go over the top and to imagine the sky is falling if you are a Trump supporter. The Democrats did the same thing in 2016. None of the scare stories actually came true by the way. And I suspect it will be similar with Biden. He will be an impotent king (by design) and the viceroys will be actually in control. You have to be blind not to see it. But blindness is in abundance.

Lockdowns & Elections

Fri, 06 Nov 2020 07:33:34 +0000

It’s been over a month since I’ve written. I avoided all news quite literally and didn’t follow the US election, as the results were utterly predictable:

Total chaos with all the usual suspects playing their parts exactly as required with Oscar winning performances.
A polarized populace playing team sports without any regard for the truth. “As long as we win, anything is acceptable…”
Democrazy delegated to the Judiciary. Further undermining faith in the law and putting judges under enormous political pressure.
Meme culture, rampant. Reminds me of all the jokes going around before the first lock down.

Drive for Show But Put For Dough

Thu, 01 Oct 2020 05:49:20 +0000

The Buzz

As a one time golfing enthusiast it always interested me that amongst everything the game is about, I really never cared for the score.

For me it was always all about the Drive and putting could be left for others who cared about the numbers, and true to form, my results showed it. I had a massive drive and a massive score to boot!

That feeling, early in the morning, as the sun rises and the air is still fresh and cool, when you strike the ball just right, with a fully wound and graceful swing, is hard to beat. It’s worth about 10 balls in the lake!

Vikid-Energy

Tue, 29 Sep 2020 07:21:00 +0000

(Please remember to ‘Load Images’ in your email app!)

Chameleons

I have been everything from a card carrying Communist (without the card) to an Anarcocapitalist (cards not included) and almost all the nuances in between. I have held such beliefs both strongly and weakly, sometimes with great enthusiasm and at others with out much care in the world.

I have lived as a pauper student, without money for food (I spent it on other pleasures!) and I have lived in the world of business, operating in economies ranging from advanced-structured to ones a little more laissez-faire, where rules & ethics are looked at more like nice-to-have accessories, than anything that needs to be followed. What’s more I have read a fair amount of history and academic analysis from a number of different points of view and motivations.

Politics

Mon, 28 Sep 2020 06:43:25 +0000

It is interesting being a contrarian.

Why is it that I am always opposed or at best orthogonal to everyone around me?

Yesterday, I had a pleasant evening out watching sports with friends. Not something I am against. I have always enjoyed Sport, Friends and Beer. A Winning Combination!

What was interesting for me, after trying to avoid politics for a good hour, is that we couldn’t avoid politics!

It started off with the now, almost religious fervor given to any discussion around the Corona Virus. I would be quite happy to never discuss the subject again. It’s deftly boring. Do masks work or not? (You may guess where I stand on that one.) If travel should be restricted, if it the virus was engineered, how dangerous it is, how deaths are counted, should kids go to school, etc… etc… everyone has an opinion on what should be plain facts.

The True Heart of a Computer

Sun, 27 Sep 2020 07:06:07 +0000

Chitty Chitty… Bang! Bang!

A lot has been said about computation, Turing, Godel and Von Neumann got most of the classical stuff discovered and done by in the 20th Century. A little after that things were extended into the Quantum Realm and now, currently, a race is being run to see who can build the first viable Quantum Machine.

I have studied a lot of this stuff, mostly as an interested party and amateur enthusiast, but also as a want to be software engineer, with my mathematical hat on. I have no PhD and little first hand practical experience but I’ve done a lot of reading around people who have.

The Language of Music

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 05:07:17 +0000

Guthrie the Great

I discovered Guthrie just a few weeks ago and oh my… this guy has really got it. Why hadn’t I heard about him before? The world is full of hidden surprises, we just got to look for them!

As part of the Vikid School of Music, we will start today by listening to some words of real wisdom.

The Divine Comedy

Wed, 23 Sep 2020 04:56:49 +0000

What if the Universe was a beautiful song or better still a joke?

I was sitting recently listening a beautiful cover of Bob Dylan’s, Don’t Think Twice,

حدث خطأ.

تعذّر تنفيذ JavaScript.

when it occurred to me that perhaps we just live in a beautiful song. What I’ve been doing, and I think rest of us are doing the same thing, is going around our lives trying to figure out what the song is, rather that listening to it, but you’re either in the song or not.

New Biology

Tue, 22 Sep 2020 06:10:54 +0000

While reading Bruce Lipton’s, The Biology of Belief, he repeats over and over again that DNA is not the brains of the cell. That it’s the environment that really controls everything. Which got me thinking.

“What if DNA is the Long Term Memory of Biology?”

Our memories define us, define our characteristics and how we react in this world. It’s what makes us individuals, it’s how we act. Not a single one of us has the same memories.

The Beatles Were Shit

Mon, 21 Sep 2020 02:56:30 +0000

I use a music streaming service called Deezer. I guess that’s cause I’m a bit of a Geezer. (I don’t know… I always just wanted to say that!)

Most people like Spotify, but Spotify irritated me once and wasn’t available here for a long time. Furthermore, nothing makes me rile more than following the crowd. You can mass read your Harry Potters and obsess over “the virus” by yourselves. I shall go a different way, thank you. So putting Spotify on my phone feels like a deep violation of something…

The Vikid Principles

Sun, 20 Sep 2020 08:29:56 +0000

The Vikid Principles is a book I wanted to write for several years but for one reason or the other the idea wouldn’t solidify over something substantial. That is until now. The mind is a machine that likes to over complicate everything and my mind has been on hyper-drive for several years now.

What I realized is that The Vikid Principles doesn’t need to be a book… but I’ve wanted to be ‘author’ for my entire adult life and that meant “writing a book”. I was forcing myself into an unnecessary position.

Mastering the Guitar Fretboard

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 11:26:46 +0000

Out of Time at the Vikid School of Music

As a casual guitar player for nearly 20 years I feel that it us an utter shame that I really don’t know the fretboard better. I still struggle on like 90% of the board and need to use tricks to “work out” notes most of the time.

The Vikid School of Music

Mon, 14 Sep 2020 04:23:54 +0000

Love

I fell in love with music as a child. Some of my earliest memories are of me being almost completely enraptured in a trance listening to the Ragas of Indian Classical Music and the emanations of Deep Purple. For this I have to thank my uncle who had the interest to pursue the best India had to offer and for having these special metallic tapes, which produced such a high fidelity sound that the music completely filled and entered the space around you. I also have to thank my father for buying the best hi-fi systems available in the early 80’s, which played these special tapes and allowed the Ragas to shine in all their magnificence.

The Reality of Illusion

Sat, 12 Sep 2020 17:16:09 +0000

The Illusion

Illusions are famous amongst scientists, psychologists and researchers. They are used as examples of how our brains get things wrong or about the tricks it uses to interpret raw data. Illusions are also studied by Robotics and AI engineers to better understand how to build advanced machines of the future.

Take for example this famous color/shade illusion:

The question is, are A and B the same shade or are they different?

Phase Shifting

Wed, 02 Sep 2020 11:41:27 +0000

Matter & Math

We all learned in School that matter comes in 3 states, Solid, Liquid & Gas. That’s what most people believe and if you studied a little bit more, in chemistry (which was always a mystery to me), we learned about chemical bonds such as the ionic and covalent bonding schemes. These schemes and theories were meant to explain the world we see around us.

Furthermore you learned about some eternal truths such as 2 + 2 = 4 and that is supposed to never ever change, even in different universes that we can imagine, with different etheric alien races. These are called Platonic Truths and come under the rubric of Mathematics.

It’s been a few days since I broke the fast and I’m back home from the South of France and there were some very interesting developments that I want to tell you all about…

The morning of break fast we took a lovely trek through the countryside to walk up to the village near by and that proved to be a perfect choice.

Cannes

We went to Cannes this afternoon. Yeah, Cannes of the Film Festival! I was totally excited and the city didn’t disappoint. Sitting on the French Riviera, watching the chic whilst sipping sparkling water, sure beats having it in my office.

Aviation

And then I hung out in Cannes Airport behind the scenes in an airplane hanger with a bunch of French aviation geeks. It’s a different world I had a very little idea about.

Jexi

The adventure began at 3 am, by 6.30 I was in the airport. Immigration was a breeze, we were through everything and in the lounge no more than 25 mins later.

The plane was practically empty and as we took off, I took a chance with a goofy sounding movie called Jexi. It’s about a nerdy phone addicted dude who is a total loser. One day his phone breaks and he has to get a new one. Unbeknownst to him, it has a very advanced form of AI. From that point on it’s pure comedy! I laughed so loud, on so many occasions, I had people in the plane giving me that look. You know that look!

Doubts

It’s day 17 and doubts again start to circle my mind. **I was up at 3 am this morning.**It’s getting earlier and earlier. I tried to deal with the ant infestation that seems to be attacking my room and then meditated for about 30 mins. I felt distracted and couldn’t go on.

Then doubts kept rising in my mind. 4 days more, can I do it? Going on an adventure to a place world famous for its food and I can’t have any? I kept dreaming about different foods and how they taste, how they would be so scrumptious etc… needless to say this was all just going on in my mind.

Sun, 23 Aug 2020 12:44:20 +0000

Adventure

I am going on an adventure soon, a surprise location to be revealed later, and as with the times, I had to get a covid test this morning.

Like true superheroes, we were wearing masks. Turns out I have passed with flying colors and with any luck I should be on my way in the next 48 hrs.

The Bramamuhutra

Also known as the Ambrosial hour starts about an hour and a half before sunrise. As it happens, I woke up at 3.30 am this morning. (It helps that I slept around 8.30 pm.)

Sat, 22 Aug 2020 12:54:06 +0000

Introduction

For those of you new here, I have been on a water fast, supplemented by coconut water for the last 15 days. I consume about a litre of fresh or raw coconut water between the late afternoon to evening. I do light cardio & weights on most days. In addition to this, I meditate 2 or 3 times a day. This is The Vikid Fast Protocol so far, and once I am done. I will publish the details in a comprehensive organized manner that anyone could choose to follow or adapt for their own needs.

Energy & Emanations

14 days have past without food and I feel better for it. Who would have thought?

My energy is still great. I was up at 3 am this morning. After trying to force myself to sleep unsuccessfully, I finally got out of bed at 4am. I broke another rule (what are rules for?) and watched two fabulous interviews on ConsciousTV and Buddha at the Gas Pump. Both are wonderful channels that explore spirituality with authenticity. Try them out!

Trinity

The mind is a genuine trickster. It can make things which are real unreal and unreal real. Over the last two weeks I have found that I am separating from it. It’s a separation between the Thinking Mind, Body and Intuition. And I am beginning to see that these aspects a very much different things and at the same time they are part of the same unity, a Trinity.

Bowels

What can I say, the fasting has become so normal now that it doesn’t require or consume much thought and though as a reader you may not want to hear this, I have to talk a little about bowel movements. One day, you may actually attempt a similar feat and it would be prudent for me to give you an accurate picture.

Firstly, at the beginning stages, if you’ve followed so far (see day 1), you will know that I took some Magnesium Citrate and spent the night in the bathroom, not hilarious, that helped clear most of the junk at the outset.

The Vikid Fast - Day 11 of 20

Tue, 18 Aug 2020 09:07:12 +0000

Novelty

So, there were some interesting developments yesterday in another wise mundane day. Firstly, I have noticed that the fact that I have eaten anything in 11 days, aside from water and a little coconut water, has become something of a total ordinary affair. Neither my mind, my body or my heart have any complaint and even the novelty of it has worn away. I wonder how long this state of affairs is going to last? Will I just coast the rest of the way or is there something in store for me, a secret surprise!

The Vikid Fast - Day 10 of 20!

On Curves

Well we’ve reached the half way point, an inflection and now the real question is whether my progress will be parabolic or exponential, as I think anything linear is out of the question. Am I a Tom, Billy or Sean?

Feeling Chinese

In terms of developments there is not much to report. I’m losing weight steadily, for the most part, hunger doesn’t play a big role, though I do miss the rituals of food. These days when I am upset or out of sorts, I can’t go to my usual bag of insanely spicy corn crisps, so yum, or sneak down to the local Chinese and gorge on the savory delights.

The Vikid Fast - Day 9 of 20

Sun, 16 Aug 2020 04:59:59 +0000

Breaking Rules

So I’ve broken a rule. Why not? This is my fast and I do as I please, as circumstances warrant…

A few days ago I was clearing out an old todo list buried in the recesses of my phone. This has been part of my routine the last few days, to get old cruft either done or deleted and I came across a single name “Jim Dreaver”.

I couldn’t remember it meaning anything and I was about to dismiss the task, permanently wiping it from my memories when I decide to do a quick lookup.

The Vikid Fast - Day 8 of 20

Sat, 15 Aug 2020 06:26:45 +0000

So a Coconut met a coconut… and it was good!

Pure nectar, in fact nothing tastes so good. For the last few months I have been buying this amazing raw coconut water from Thailand. Raw as in, unpasteurized, without heat treatment.

Then it occurred to me, why not just buy the real thing? I mean it’s not that expensive here.

Now let’s do the calculations:

1 bottle of Raw Coconut Water costs $5.7 at 500ml = $11.4 / ltr
1 Real Coconut costs $1.08 at approximately 250ml = $4.4 / ltr

Celebrate

Time to sing!

Celebrate good times, come on!
It’s a celebration
Celebrate good times, come on!
Let’s celebrate

There’s a party goin’ on right here
A celebration to last throughout the years
So bring your good times, and your laughter too
We gonna celebrate your party with you…

It’s a seven day party here and I know you can feel that boogie too!

To tell you the truth I never thought I’d get here. It feels wonderful and I feel great. There’s something about the body that switches gears when you stop eating. Firstly, I would like to dissuade you of the myth of “Starvation Mode” and pictures of people in concentration camps or kids with distended bellies. Not that it doesn’t happen, but that it doesn’t happen in the first 7 days. I am living proof.

The Vikid Fast - Day 6 of 20

Thu, 13 Aug 2020 05:01:32 +0000

This fasting is a funny thing. You can feel like your cruising one minute and feel like your crashing the next. The main thing is to learn how to ride the waves.

For example, this morning I went for another Vikid Freestyle Walk. 45-50 mins. I did everything, handstands, duck walk, near walk, monkey jumps, pseudo-sprints, press ups, dips, yadi yada…

I felt pretty good when I got home, I’d say like 60% but before I got in the shower I crashed to about 15%. I guessed I just needed a quick rest so I lay down on the floor Shavasana style and focused on my heart beat (high) and breathing (normal). Within 3 minutes I was fine and have been fine ever since.

The Vikid Fast - Day 5 of 20

Wed, 12 Aug 2020 05:16:12 +0000

It’s day 5 and I feel like I’m cruising . Last night I went for a short cycle maybe 8 km and this morning I discovered a new way of walking. It’s called The Vikid Freestyle. It really is surprising that I feel like going out and working out. I am putting no pressure on myself to do this and I’m not over exerting myself either. My energy is better while fasting, go figure 🧐.

The Vikid Fast - Day 4 of 20

Tue, 11 Aug 2020 05:03:22 +0000

Yesterday, coming close to the evening, I had my first thoughts of giving up. I have been expecting this and I am sure there are going to be other challenging days. The desire to give up was less to do with hunger. It was more to do with boredom, of being deprived of the demonic lust, the need to gorge and to consume.

I am not at a retreat being pampered and massaged. I have have no guru looking after me and no group to commiserate with. Not that I want it. Nor do I have any need to whine but I do have to work normal days, I have real world problems and we are in a grueling year, all the more reason to quit. I was ogling potato chips still lying on the bedroom table, the chilly sauce in my fridge, I was planning on sneaking in a little sweet or perhaps a sugar free gum. How could that do any harm? No one would know right?

The Vikid Fast - Day 3 of 20

Mon, 10 Aug 2020 10:04:46 +0000

Summary First…

I am going strong but it’s getting deep. Let’s start in the middle and go reverse to the beginning and end up at the end or wherever… Invert and twist the circle, if you know what I mean.

This morning I woke up at 6 am without an alarm and it’s been months and months since I have naturally felt like meditating but today I did.

I sat down cross legged on a comfortable sofa, adjusted my posture and just allowed things to be. No special attention on breathing, not trying to remove thoughts, only allowing things to be… and again awesomeness happened. I went very deep for about 40 mins. No alarms, bells or whistles. No agenda when to come out. Thoughts and images 30 years old appeared. I just let them be, I contemplated how they made me feel and where necessary forgave myself for what I did.

The Vikid Fast - Day 2 of 20

Sun, 09 Aug 2020 07:47:37 +0000

So last night I went out to a really cute Mexican restaurant with the hosts, a couple with two kids the same age as ours. They have had a rotten time with the lockdown. It’s hard to fathom how bad the lockdowns have destroyed people’s lives. It does really make me question what we are doing as a society and what we can do better.

They were kind enough to offer not eating but the restaurant wouldn’t have it. New Covid rules, got to order food if you want a drink, makes sense right? So we got a bowl of Guacamole that smelt insanely fresh and I watched them nibble at it while sipping cocktails all night long. No issues, I felt rock solid and it was great to be out with friends. So, its only been two days but you don’t need to lose your social life while fasting. This may change 😂.

The Vikid Fast - Day 1 of 20

Sat, 08 Aug 2020 09:52:54 +0000

Hello Dear Friends!

So the fast began just over 24 hrs ago and yesterday, in the evening, I took this tangerine potion just to help things along.

That’s Magnesium Citrate and works well for relaxing your bowels. The only problem being that I miscalculated my timings (taking it at 6pm) and ended up on the shitter all night. Lord help me. So first things first, I had practically no sleep as I was out of bed every half hour for a bathroom run. If any of you want to try this technique out then please write to me personally and I can give you some tips, first one being, take it early!

On Becoming a Hero

Fri, 07 Aug 2020 18:34:49 +0000

I’ve read two amazing books this year (Can’t Hurt Me and The Art of Resilience ) that have convinced me to attempt something heroic. Ah the dreams to become a hero, every child to have ever lived has had these dreams.

My first dreams were of Lord Krishna. A character you should explore no matter what your religion or belief system. He is a God like no other and The Bhagvat Gita a book like no other. The Mahabharata, so complex and deep, a vision of immense clarity. But by the age of 4 or 5 I had moved on to Superman. I donned on the famous red and blue leotard and zoomed all around my neighborhood. Delightful!

Losing Weight

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 14:18:27 +0000

Today, I read Allen Carrs’ Book, Lose Weight Now and to put it mildly, it was extremely good.

I love his style of writing, so simple, so direct, so true.

But as usual, we must start at the beginning…

Several years ago, now coming to near 20, I had read another title by this author, (subscribers are welcome to guess which 😉), and as a result, it changed my life and that of many another I have known.

The Colonized Mind

Thu, 30 Jul 2020 18:11:49 +0000

During a family gathering many years ago, when I was a young man, my uncle said something to me that struck me as rather noteworthy and possibly quite observant.

He jokingly called me a, “Coconut”.

To which I enquired the meaning, feeling rather confused.

“Ah!”, he said, “You are white on the inside with a hard brown exterior shell!”

Of course I instantly ‘knew’ what he meant by that. After all I had been sent to boarding school in England as a young Indian boy, aged 8 and stayed there till after finishing University, getting a job in London and finally being naturalized as a British Citizen. In the process, I had metaphorized from a freshly roasted coco bean into a semi-mature coconut.

Opposite Thinking

Mon, 22 Jun 2020 05:21:54 +0000

I want you to consider a practice. A practice that can be done at any time and at any place, a practice that can actually be made so automatic that it is done subconsciously at the speed of thought itself.

It is the practice of Opposite Thinking. It will open new dimensions in your mind, it will literally make you feel godly amongst mortal humans, who go around forward thinking only. For if you think yourself a normal human, opposite thinking can make you a god and vice versa.

Time to Awaken

Sun, 21 Jun 2020 10:37:22 +0000

Time to awaken from this dreamy sleep,

which has sometimes been happy and sometimes deep.

Deep into chasms of despair and dread.

Time to wake up sleepy head.

The Mind continually seeks,

perhaps I should stop resisting.

Dopamine hits, keeps hitting and hitting.

I cannot rest, this mind is so strong.

Wake up Sleepy head, Wake up, Wake up.

The Truth

Sun, 21 Jun 2020 10:21:24 +0000

Welcome to The Vikid Truth by me, The Vikid Truth. I am superhero with the power to reveal the Truth. The Truth is Vikid, the Truth is sly, the Truth is evasive and just in front of your eyes.

In the meantime, tell your friends!

Amazing Grace

I am still learning this simple song. I really do love singing it though :-)

Timing 3/4

 D G D
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
 A7
That saved a wretch like me!
 D G D
I once was lost, but now am found;
 A7 D
Was blind, but now I see.

 D G D
’Twas grace that taught my eyes to see,
 A7
And grace my fears relieved;
 D G D
How precious did that grace appear
 A7 D
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,

I have already come;

’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,

His Word my hope secures;

He will my Shield and Portion be,

As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease,

I shall possess, within the veil,

A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

The sun forbear to shine;

But God, who called me here below,

Will be forever mine.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

Than when we’d first begun.

Free Markets

Mon, 16 Jan 2017 22:29:02 +0400

Free Markets

There may be more ink spilled on the question of free markets than the rest of the whole of economic theory.

And why not?

It is the very heart of what it means to be homo economicus. How a society deals with the question really does colour the very fabric of how we live and the nature of our environment.

There is a lot hidden under those simple words, “Free Market”.

Error Handling

Error Handling is just code that checks certain values and conditions before proceeding down the normal path of execution. If the code notices an ’error’ then a different path of execution is followed.

Transitivity

Thu, 08 Dec 2016 12:04:27 +0400

Let S be a set and ~ a relation between any two objects in the set:
Reflexivity For every a in S, a ~ a
Symmetry For any a, b in S, if a ~ b -> b ~ a
Transitivity For any a, b, c in S, if a ~ b and b ~ c –> a ~ c

Transitivity: links chain together

The core idea, in plain words

A relation $\sim$ on a set $S$ is transitive when you can always take a shortcut:

Symmetry

Thu, 08 Dec 2016 12:04:14 +0400

Let S be a set and ~ a relation between any two objects in the set:
Reflexivity For every a in S, a ~ a
Symmetry For any a, b in S, if a ~ b -> b ~ a
Transitivity For any a, b, c in S, if a ~ b and b ~ c –> a ~ c

Symmetry: if it goes one way, it goes back

The core idea, in plain words

A relation $\sim$ on a set $S$ is symmetric when every connection runs both ways:

Reflexivity

Thu, 08 Dec 2016 12:03:01 +0400

Let S be a set and ~ a relation between any two objects in the set:
Reflexivity For every a in S, a ~ a
Symmetry For any a, b in S, if a ~ b -> b ~ a
Transitivity For any a, b, c in S, if a ~ b and b ~ c –> a ~ c

Reflexivity is the smallest of the three rules, and the easiest to wave past. Which is exactly why I want to slow down on it. A relation is reflexive when nothing is a stranger to itself.

Set Relations

Thu, 08 Dec 2016 12:00:32 +0400

Set Relations

Equivalence Relations

Definition

Let S be a set and ~ a relation between any two objects in the set:
Reflexivity For every a in S, a ~ a
Symmetry For any a, b in S, if a ~ b -> b ~ a
Transitivity For any a, b, c in S, if a ~ b and b ~ c –> a ~ c

The core idea, in plain words

A relation on a set $S$ is simply a set of ordered pairs $R \subseteq S \times S$ . We write $a \sim b$ when $(a,b) \in R$ . That’s it: any list of “who is linked to whom” is a relation. The interesting part is which properties the list has. Five matter most:

topology

Thu, 08 Dec 2016 10:46:32 +0400

A homeomorphism or continuous transformation, is an

equivalence relation and
one-to-one (injective) correspondence between points in two geometric figures or topological spaces that is continuous in both directions.
preserves distances is called an isometry.
Affine transformations

Combinatorics: Combinatorics

Thu, 08 Dec 2016 06:23:01 +0400

Combinatorics: Combinatorics

General reference works (handbooks, dictionaries, bibliographies, etc.)
Instructional exposition (textbooks, tutorial papers, etc.)
Research exposition (monographs, survey articles)

Shigeru Mizuki’s Hitler

Date 8th December 2016

This really is the most awesome of books. I had never read an illustrated novel by Shigeru Muzuki before and took a chance on this when visiting Blossom Book Shop in Begaluru, India.

First things first, this shop is just one of the most charming book shops I have come across and always full of the most amazing titles. It’s about three stories tall and probably has 1/10 or even less the area of Folyes in London, but carries probably the same number of books!

Linearity

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 22:06:13 +0400

Linearity

Linear Systems are systems that can be broken into parts where each part is solved independently and finally the solution can be made by the recombination (summation) of these parts.

By contrast Non-Linear systems generally cannot be split up in this way. The different components of the system depend on each other. Therefore one cannot reduce the problem to a simpler statement of the problem and usually due to combinatorial-explosion the solution space is massive and hence difficult to solve.

Self Motivation

Sen Ts'an

Sen Ts’an

Sen-Ts’an was an eighth-century Chinese Zen master who wrote:

 The Perfect Way is only difficult for those who pick and choose;

 Do not like, do not dislike; all will then be clear.

 Make a hairbreadth difference,

 and Heaven and Earth are set apart;

 If you want the truth to stand clear before you,

 never be for or against.

 The struggle between “for” and “against” is the mind’s worst disease.

The Righteous Mind by Jonathon Haidt

Date: 7 December 2016

Jonathon Haidt is a social / moral psychologist who I didn’t know much about before buying this book. I really decided to by this book because he was referenced a few times by Jordan Perterson, who I respect really highly.

Notes

This book is about why it’s so hard for us to get along. People who devote their lives to studying something often come to believe that the object of their fascination is the key to understanding everything. played by cooking, mothering, war … even salt. This is one of those books. I study moral psychology, and I’m going to make the case that morality is the extraordinary human capacity that made civilization possible. By the end of the tour, I hope to have given you a new way to think about two of the most important, vexing, and divisive topics in human life: politics and religion. The word righteous comes from the old Norse word rettviss and the old English word rihtwis, both of which mean “just, upright, virtuous.” 3 This meaning has been carried into the modern English words righteous and righteousness, although nowadays those words have strong religious connotations because they are usually used to translate the Hebrew word tzedek. Tzedek is a common word in the Hebrew Bible, often used to describe people who act in accordance with God’s wishes, but it is also an attribute of God and of God’s judgment of people (which is often harsh but always thought to be just). The book is split in three parts:

Hidden in Plain Sight by Andrew Thomas

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 08:07:39 +0400

Hidden in Plain Sight by Andrew Thomas

I really like this series of books by Andrew Thomas, which I would really classify under speculative science. Speculative as opposed to orthodox. I like to read such works because I often find Orthodox Science (the kind of stuff that comes out of Universities) very conservative. Sometimes you just need to read material that is not fully accepted by main stream science. It keeps you very much more focused and you are forced to really think about what you believe. When reading someone like Brian Green or Laurence Krauss the tendency is for the mind to just accept the Truth as it is handed down to you.

Category Theory

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 07:59:13 +0400

Category Theory

Category theory is abstract, about as abstract as mathematics gets.

It is the study of systems of related objects. The relations between the objects under study are called maps (also arrows or morphisms)

Maps bind Objects together in a relationship.

Often Objects are Represented by Letters and Maps by Arrow, such as:

 f g
 A ---> B --> C

where we have objects A, B and C, and arrows f & g.

Multivariable Polynomial Rings

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 07:57:41 +0400

Multivariable Polynomial Rings

Here is a truth that took me far too long to see: a polynomial in several variables is a description of a shape, and the ring of all such polynomials is the algebra of shapes.

Modules

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 07:53:03 +0400

Modules

Here’s a truth that tidied up half of algebra for me: a module is a vector space where the scalars are only allowed to come from a ring, so you can scale but not always unscale.

Group Actions

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 07:51:53 +0400

Group Actions

In Groups I said a group is the mathematics of “doing and undoing”. Here’s the follow-up truth: a group action is when those doings actually do something to something.

A group on its own is a bag of abstract moves. An action lets the moves loose on a set (corners, colourings, points, solutions of an equation) and asks what happens to it.

Fields

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 07:51:10 +0400

Fields

The truth about fields is the one I wish I had heard first: a field is a number system where you can add, subtract, multiply and divide (by anything except zero) and never get thrown out.

Commutative Rings

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 07:50:21 +0400

Commutative Rings

The truth about commutative rings is a simple one: they are the rings where the order of multiplication doesn’t matter, and that one small courtesy makes almost all of school algebra possible.

Every time you expanded $(x + 1)^2$ into $x^2 + 2x + 1$ , you were quietly relying on it.

Rings

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 07:49:45 +0400

Rings

Here is the truth nobody told me at school: a ring is just a place where you can add, subtract and multiply, and the usual habits of arithmetic still work. Division is not invited.

Quotient Groups

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 07:49:25 +0400

Quotient groups were the place where abstract algebra first made me dizzy. The symbols $G/N$ look like division, and in a strange way they are. But here’s the truth: a quotient group is what you get when you deliberately go blurry.

Groups

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 06:46:59 +0400

Here is a truth I wish someone had revealed to me much earlier: a group is just the mathematics of “doing and undoing”.

That’s it. That’s the secret. Everything else is bookkeeping.

The core idea, in plain words

A group is a set of actions (or things) together with one way of combining them, such that four rules hold:

Number Theory

I find Number theory one of the very hardest parts of Mathematics so this is probably the most contrived part of this wiki. You will find a struggle here but hopefully if you are having a hard time yourself, there maybe some value to you here below.

My fascination with Mathematics really started with numbers. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t really figure out what they were (Ontologically). Did they have a basis in reality and if not, what basis did they have and moreover, why did Reality and Math track so well if they didn’t have a basis in reality.

A Book of Set Theory by Charles C. Pinter

This is a rather interesting book that I am slowly making my way through. The ideas contained in the book, the authors tone, and care of writing are remarkable. What comes through is a clear demonstration of how much the Author cares about Mathematics, and this makes you care too.

Notes, Ideas & Links

Georg Cantor
Virtual & Actual Infinites Actual: Many objects are conceived as existing simultaneously Virtual: The Potential to exceed any finite quantity
Mathematicians dreamed of a “Unifying branch of mathematics "
The Ancient schools thought this unification would lie in geometry
19th Century Mathematicians such as Weierstrass & Dedekind thought unification could be achieved under the rubric of Arithmetic.
It was shown that every Real Number could be represented as a sequence of rational numbers. And Rationals as pairs of Integers.
We can in turn show how Natural numbers can be represented by sets
Set Theory Paradoxes, there are two main types:
- Logical - Russell’s Paradox
- Semantic - Berry’s Paradox
The paradoxes arise because in Naive Set Theory we take the position that we can describe properties of an object and the decribe sets of objects based on these properties.
However certain properties lead to paradoxes
So we must ask, what are legitimate properties? How do we decribe the existence of sets.
There have been three major schools for solving these problems:
Axiomatic
predicates, logical connectives & quantifiers
Logistic

Hidden in Plain Sight 6 - Why 3 Dimensions?

Notes

On the basis of what we have just discovered, the solution is very simple. Because of our human bias, our space is defined in terms of fermions. A fermion with mass, travelling slower than the speed of light in the x direction, needs to spin. Spin requires a plane in two dimensions, so an additional two dimensions — y and z So three dimensions arise from the fermion’s need to satisfy the rules of special relativity. And, as we define our reality in terms of fermions, our space therefore must have three dimensions, three degrees of freedom. One or two dimensions of space would not be enough as the fermion would not be able to spin. Three dimensions is the smallest number of dimensions which allows spin perpendicular to motion, thus allowing the fermion to satisfy special relativity. John Barrow explains this unique characteristic in Dimensionality:

házmelo saber

Let me know.

Hazmelo saber" - Make it so it is known to me. As you might know, haz is the second person singular of the imperative of hacer ( to make),

thus, me (házme,) turns the verb into a reflexibe imperative,

which brings the action back to the speaker,

the pronoun lo just replaces whatever is being made,

and then whichever infinitive verb you add after ( in this case saber) just adds meaning.

Orwell is another great influence on my life. I first read 1984 15-20 years back and it really blew my mind, I can still remember it so clearly. Perhaps it is cliche but it it’s the truth, I cant think of many better books for a young mind.

Though it took me many years to shake of my socialistic tendencies, in retrospect this little number really gave me the tools to deal with large number tricky situations.

We are quite good at doing this with Space but I think we are not trained well at doing this with time.

Notes

Erich Fromm, writing in 1942, explained how the psychology of being a ‘senseless cog’ proved fertile soil for the rise of Fascism in Germany, Italy and elsewhere in Europe.
Or as Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric, put it: ‘Control your destiny or someone else will!’
My central purpose in writing this book is to give people the ability to notice signals and thereby proceed into the future with a greater sense of the context that will influence any individual choices that we might make.
Whenever the majority of the population seeks to pursue the same idea at the same time, it usually ends in tears.

Aldous Huxley

Sat, 03 Dec 2016 00:03:54 +0400

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley is (or was one) of my greatest hero’s when I was a young man. I first read Brave New World, Doors of Perception, Island & The Perennial Philosophy. I also read a few of his articles and other works. Each book had its own influence on me, carving out my thought processes, making me deeply think about life in all its dimensions. Huxley was really one of the principle reasons I ever went to thinking in the first place. He showed me just what can be achieved with the mind, a pen (and some psychodelics).

perception

Aldous Huxley was a deep inspiration to me as a young man. Although I didn’t not know too much of him as a person, his books (of Perception, BraveNewWorld & Island) played a big role on who I was to become.

 But the man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same man who went out. He will be

 wiser but less cocksure, happier by less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped

 to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable Mystery which it tries,

 forever vainly, to comprehend.

 The spleen is an organ in the upper far left part of the abdomen, to the left of the stomach.
 Old red blood cells are recycled in the spleen, and platelets and white blood cells are stored there.
 The spleen also helps fight certain kinds of bacteria that cause pneumonia and meningitis.

Set Theory is the Machine Language of mathematics. It’s a very low level language, close to the machine, so to speak. In set theory with define really primitive operations on even more primitive types data. Set theory in a way isn’t as illuminating as high level mathematics but in another way, it is the light that makes all of math possible.

Logic - Modus Tollens

Wed, 30 Nov 2016 23:43:22 +0400

Logic - Modus Tollens

Modus tollens is modus ponens’s sharper sibling, and the logic behind every good experiment. The truth: if a prediction fails, the idea that made it is in trouble.

The core idea, in plain words

If you know “if $p$ then $q$ ” and you know $q$ is false, you may conclude $p$ is false.

Logic - Modus Ponens

Wed, 30 Nov 2016 23:42:52 +0400

Logic - Modus Ponens

Modus Ponens is latin for “mode that affirms”

 p→q
 p
 _____
 ∴ q

Modus ponens is the rule of reasoning we all use a hundred times a day without naming it. The truth: it is the engine that turns an “if” into a “therefore”.

The core idea, in plain words

If you know a conditional “if $p$ then $q$ ” is true, and you know $p$ is true, you may conclude $q$ .

VikiD Logic

Wed, 30 Nov 2016 23:36:06 +0400

VikiD Logic

Logic is the study of abstract, hypothetical connections, involving necessity.

These connections are between ‘Statements’, ‘Propositions’, or ‘Assertions’.

Classified into two groups, valid vs invalid.

Modus Ponens is the very most basic type of connection. It says,

if A => B
 A
 ---
 ∴ B

that is, if A implies B, and we “assert” A is “valid”, then we can conclude B is also “valid”.

Jeremy Bentham

Wed, 30 Nov 2016 22:31:25 +0400

Jeremy Bentham

(1748 - 1832)

 He is best known as the founder of Utilitarianism, which
 he saw as the underlying moral principle on which his legal
 and social reforms should be based. Although his influence
 during his life was perhaps minor, his impact was greater
 in later years as his ideas were carried on by followers
 such as John Stuart Mill, Robert Owen and John Austin.

Climate Change / Global Warming

Wed, 30 Nov 2016 22:06:57 +0400

Climate Change / Global Warming

Though, I was always a very strong believer in Climate Change / Global Warming, on the balance of evidence that I have found, I now no longer believe in it as it being portrayed in the media and other global organisations. To be sure the climate is changing. It always has and always will but “Climate Change” has become a political ideology of religious proportions.

Thales of Miletos

Wed, 30 Nov 2016 10:38:36 +0400

Thales of Miletos

This story should be something that is instantly recognizable:

 His involvement in local politics is also rather anecdotal
 in nature, but Thales apparently impressed both sides of the
 ongoing conflict between the Lydians, Medes and Persians over
 the fate of the region of Ionia,

 when he predicted an eclipse of the sun

 which brought fighting to a standstill. He was also
 reportedly involved in the negotiations which followed the
 hostilities, and managed to obtain favourable terms for Miletus.

Programming languages should be designed not by piling feature on top of feature, but by removing the weaknesses and restrictions that make additional features appear necessary. Scheme demonstrates that a very small number of rules for forming expressions, with no restrictions on how they are composed, suffice to form a practical and efficient programming language that is flexible enough to support most of the major … Read more.

Some Notes:

ebp is known as the base pointer or the frame pointer.

 1. On entry to your function, you push it (to save the value for the calling function).

 2. Then, you copy esp, the stack pointer, into ebp, so that ebp now points to your function's stack frame.

 3. At the end of your function, you then pop ebp so that the calling function's value is restored.

For some clarification on exactly what is going on -
the push instruction:

 1. puts the value from the specified register (ebp in this case), onto the stack, and
 2. decrements the stack pointer by the appropriate amount.

The pop operation is the opposite -

 1. it increments the stack pointer and takes a value from the stack and
 2. puts it in the specified register.

Integrating spirituality and science

This book starts with some questions…

 In this age of extraordinarily powerful computers, the human brain remains the most
 complex object on earth.

 What led to the evolution of this costly labyrinthine structure?

 Why is it capable of such wondrous ecstatic experience?

 Why has it evolved conflicting instincts, that can lead to unbearable anguish and pain?

 Why do spiritual and religious instincts have such enormous power and influence?

 What is their evolutionary function?

and then proceeds to try and answer them.

Without algebra we would have no powerful method of communicating our Mathematical ideas (to humans or computers) and progress would essentially ground to a halt.

The current economic crisis is not a failure of capitalism, but a failure of culture.

Generation Zero explores the cultural roots of the global financial meltdown - beginning with the narcissism of the 1960’s, spreading like a virus through the self-indulgent 90’s, and exploding across the world in the present economic cataclysm.

Generation Zero goes beneath the shallow media headlines and talking head sound bites to get to the source of today’s economic nightmare. With a cutting edge style and haunting imagery, this must see documentary will change everything you thought you knew about Wall Street and Washington.

The Half Life of Facts by Samuel Arbesman

The Half Life of Facts by Samuel Arbesman

Books

Introduction Facts are like radioactivity, new facts are created & decay predictably. Knowledge also spreads with recognizable characteristics. This is important because facts do not stand indepedent of each other, they interelate and how they do that goes a long way in which we interpret the order of our environment. Facts can be defined as “individual states of knowledge awareness”. As such each fact is also inherently uncertain. Learning about how facts are created, spread and are finally destroyed will help us manage this uncertainty. Facts can be organised by how quickly they are subject to change. Imagine if you will three categories:
1. Very Slow Like Mathematical Facts
2. Middle or Mesofacts Like the Population of the World
3. Very Fast Like the latest stock prices
The Creation of Facts We often think of change happening linearly, however there is good reason to keep in mind at least a few other types, namely, exponential, cyclical, logarithmic, logistic, S-Curves or Linked logistic. Exponential growth is characterised by its doubling time and it is found that many many fields of knowledge exhibit characteristic doubling times for the rate of growth of facts within their realm. This field of study is called Scientometrics. H-index, Eurekometrics Discoveries follow a logarithmic curve as new discoveries get harder and harder. An easy heuristic to understand this is thinking about how much harder it is too discover smaller and smaller things. The equipment you need etc…
```
 Henry Petroski -
 "Science is about understanding the origins, nature, and behaviour of the Universe
 and all it contains;
 Engineering is about solving problems by rearranging the stuff of the world to make
 new things."
```
or
```
 Science modifies the facts of what we know about the world, while technology modifies
 the facts of what we can do in the world.
```
Hawthorne Effect is a type of reactivity in which individuals modify or improve an aspect of their behavior in response to their awareness of being observed.

Date: 26/11/2016

I first came across Jordan Peterson because of the controversy that ensued after he made a few videos about gender pronoun use and new amendments to laws coming into place in Canada (Law C16 (pdf) ).

What has come to pass lately (2016) is simply fascinating. I have watched every video that he has made and I am now attempting to read his book.

What is Conservatism

Wed, 23 Nov 2016 02:47:38 +0400

What is Conservatism

2016 was a big year for me politically. I moved from being predominantly a progressive and liberal to being predominantly a conservative and libertarian.

It really started after the death of my father (2013). Responsibility kicked in and I had to face some rather hard questions about my self and what I believed in. I had to grow up.

To be continued….

VikiD Philosophy

To me, Philosophy is the a body of work that encompasses the highest values of all human thought.

It is the rubric that envelopes everything from Art, Religion, Science, Ehtics, Politics and beyond. What exactly philosophy is not a trivial question to answer but it needs answering. It is not something I am looking forward to doing. It is a question that I have been meaning to write about for many years and with every attempt, I have failed.

vim

vim

vim is one of the tools that you will want to get familiar with in linux. Just like Emacs, vim has it’s adherents who evangelize endlessly about its virtues.

I happen to love both emacs & vim finding that I happen to pop in and out of both continuously while working. You can do everything you want in either one of them, but like many things in life, having multi options you are fairly competent in, is very useful, fun and keeps life interesting.

Hackers' Handbook

Hackers’ Handbook

by Dr.k

The Hackers’ Handbook is, while being a delightfully dense and complex book, also quite readable.

It is not overly large at approximately 300 pgs in length but I still feel there is enough information in it to last a life time.

The book is split in four major sections:

An Introduction into Hacking
Tools, Techniques & Threats
Cyber-War and Cyber-Terrorism
The Future

The book is both educational from a technical and historical standpoint, in that it documents real attacks, people and institutions involved.

Literals

C Programming

A literal is a token that denotes a fixed value, which may be:

an integer,
a floating-point number,
a character,
or string.

This fixed value actually sits in the source file and must be copied into memory when the compiler finally gets to work.

Identifiers in C

Mon, 21 Nov 2016 05:40:07 +0400

Identifiers in C

Back to Tokens | Back to C Programming | The Compiler

There are 4 types of Identifiers and each type gets its own namespace.

Label Names, are names that end in a colon, :
Tags for structure, union, and enumeration types
Names of Structure or Union members
Ordinary Identifiers (all others)

struct tag { char tag; ...}

Here you can see we have created a structure with the tag tag, which also has a member tag of the type char.

The Compiler

Mon, 21 Nov 2016 04:06:50 +0400

Back to C programming

The Compiler

The C compiler translates C-source-code into machine code.

The Compiler translates each source file into an object file also known as a module.

If there are more that 1 object files, these are then linked by the linker which outputs a executable.

The executable is what we normally run as a program in the system.

The Translation Phases

The compilation takes place in 8 steps.

C Programming

Mon, 21 Nov 2016 03:47:35 +0400

C Programming

The C programming language is at the heart of GNU/Linux - it is the programming language most of the Linux Kernel and GNU tools is written in.

There are many outstanding books and online resources where you can learn C and as such this site will not try and duplicate these efforts.

C in a Nutshell

Mon, 21 Nov 2016 03:34:07 +0400

C in a Nutshell

By Peter Prinz & Tony Crawford

My Notes and Tutorial on C can be found here…

This is a book that I believe should be on the desk of every vikid C programmer. I have it both as a solid book and as a pdf and always keep a copy with me.

This is a good 800pg Gorilla and has pretty much everything you are going to need to program in C.

Why the World Does Not Exist

Sun, 20 Nov 2016 22:27:10 +0400

Why the World Does Not Exist

by Markus Gariel

This is a very interesting book which has really expanded my ideas about what Philosophy is and what Metaphysics is in particular.

It is available both as hard back (I found my copy in Zurich) and on Kindle. I bought both ;-)

This book is really an exposition on a new type of Metaphysics called New Realism, which makes the assertion that we can know the world in itself. But while making this assertion we realize the World Is a contradiction that cannot exist.

Richard Rorty

Sun, 20 Nov 2016 22:05:50 +0400

Richard Rorty

The American philosopher Richard Rorty, thought that there might in fact still be something behind the world as it appears to us. However, he thought that this could play no role for us as human beings, so he instead suggested that we increase solidarity among human beings rather than look for ultimate Truth (with a capital T) or ultimate Reality (with a capital R).

Rorty concluded that there is no position outside historically situated language games from which to distinguish mind from world.

Hunt for the Wilder people

Directed by Taika Waititi

Starring: Sam Niel, Julian Dennison, Rima Te Wiata

5 Stars

What a wonderful movie! There should be more like this. It is a great piece of story telling with a score to match and real uncontrived heartfelt acting.

This movie really reminded me of a Wes Anderson movie. It has the style, the filters and the inuendo that reminds you of Steve Zizou or The Darjeeling Express. Sam Niel in this movie fits the Bill Murray character, only he didn’t feel tried or cliche and makes his character his own.

Art Thinking by Amy Whitaker

Art Thinking by Amy Whitaker

Date: 06/10/2016

I’ve been inspired to write by this rather unconventional book that try’s to bridge the world of art with that of business.

It does this by developing a new framework for both thought and action called “Art Thinking”, which is somewhat similar to the “Design Thinking” without being retarded. Well at least thats how I like to think of it!

The book is written in a style that is easy to read and yet maintains enough depth and complexity not to damage your sensibilities like most business books that read more like self-help books.

Stretching Scientifically by Thomas Kurz

This is a book that bring back fond memories. That picture on the front was once a goal for me to reach. And if I am to be honest… I actually got very close.

I don’t remember the year I bought the book right now but it could have been between ‘93 -‘95 and I followed its recommendations till about ‘98 at least.

I got pretty darn flexible until packed it all in for the ‘cerebral’ fun in college.

Independence Day: Resurgence

4 August 2016

Independence Day: Resurgence

I was a young man when the first Independence day came out and I loved it. I was a young and before I really started thinking about movies from a cultural context. Or about how the people who make movies want us to think about culture.

Have you ever thought about movies are cultural artifacts?

At any case, I went to watch this movie (the sequel that is) with an open mind, especially with a mind ready to watch another remake. There have been so many recently. It makes you think if Holywood has lost its ability to create.

Philosophy in Physics

Mon, 01 Aug 2016 23:53:49 +0400

Philosophy in Physics

The Philosophy of Physics is a very challenging field because not only do you have to be good at Philosophy, you have to be good at Physics and Mathematics too!

To tell you the truth, I try hard, but even this superhero has trouble here. I feel this is a subject for the gods. Us mere mortals will just have to struggle - but there is joy in the struggle too. I hope that my pages here will help shed some light on the subjects at hand.

The Standard Model

Mon, 01 Aug 2016 23:51:35 +0400

The Standard Model

It is a simple and comprehensive theory that attempts to explain all the hundreds of particles and complex interactions with only:

6 quarks
6 leptons
Force carrier particles

All matter particles are composites of quarks and leptons, and they interact by exchanging force carrier particles only. The theory has many detractors. It doesn’t and cant explain gravity for example.

Time Preference Theory

Mon, 01 Aug 2016 21:31:21 +0400

Time Preference Theory

The Study of Economics is really a study about how humans organise their surrounding environment to achieve a goal, or an end. A very important aspect of this organizing factor is how we think of time.

It is not only curious but necessary to understand that the human condition has both a nonlinear-arrow-like aspect and a circular-cyclical aspect with regards to time.

We are born, we grow old, have children and slowly meet our end. This is the nonlinear-arrow-like aspect.

The Zermelo-Frankel Axioms

Fri, 29 Jul 2016 11:44:02 +0400

The Zermelo-Frankel Axioms

The ZF-Axioms are kind of a bed rock in Mathematics. A place where everything can begin. Now this is not the only way to formalise mathematics. There many theories around. I haven’t got there yet. Category theory and Homeotopic type theory come to mind here.

Now, let the caveat be stated here clearly.

I am not a mathematician, I am not formally trained in the topic and I do understand there may be errors here. If you are so disposed and would like to free the Internet of error. Please let me know! I will be happy to be schooled in this manner. What appears below is how I have understood the subject and it may be helpful to you.

Freedom in Computing

Freedom in Computing

date: 29 July 2016

It all started with Richard Stallman, or at least I tell myself that. I am not sure when I realised I wanted freedom in my computing.

But it did start with software or my inability to get the software I wanted in the early 90’s, namely Corel Draw. And now, if I do think of it rightly, it also started with the ‘blue screen of death’ and the amount of work I lost due to it.

Do more bad work. This entire site is a bad work that I was too afraid to start, too afraid to look silly, that is until I became The viKid Truth Don’t make the same mistake. Produce shit and just improve it.
Just take the pressure off. It’s ok if you are rubbish. It’s ok if you didn’t do your best. Really it is!
It pretty much boils down to the fact that all of us want to be free. That’s all that money really is. It represents that ability to do what you want and get what you want, not to be bossed by others. So why not live your life ‘as if’ you are free. Why not do what you really want to? Think about it!
Put not your faith in Princes
I have striven not to laugh at human actions, not to weep at them, not to hate them, but to understand them. —Baruch Spinoza, Tractatus Politicus, 1676

This basic script has some of the most basic words you will need to get anywhere in Spanish. Its has just over 650 interesting words.

down below, you will find the text in both English and Spanish.

Your task is two fold.

Learn the English version well and really imagine every word, every colour, smell and feeling, play the whole script like a video in your head.
Do the same with the Spanish. Only this time, try to read along with the recording. Obviously this will be difficult when starting but will get easier as you practice.

01 The Master Script

This system of learning that plays on your music machine was made so that you can get familiar with the sounds of this language. We would like you to listen to this sound as much as possible. If you do not understand what you are hearing, it is ok. Listen to this every day, and say what you hear, until you are able to repeat the whole thing without difficulty. This will help you very much in your goal.
The learning of any language is a sort of work. You have to do it with your brain. Other types of work can be done with your body. You can take wood and make a table or chair, rocks and make a house or cloth to make clothes. Some people are good at work; some people are not so good at work.

My tours around the world have time to time landed me in Spanish speaking lands. The natives there are quite interesting and speak a very beautiful language called Espanol.

Quiero hablar con ellos mucho pero no es fácil ;-)

Some years back I wrote a book about learning Spanish (or at least on a method I thought would work for someone trying to learn Spanish).

Design in Nature by Adrian Bejan and Peder Zane

Date: 24/07/2016

I find that great ideas have their way of standing out and striking you. The Constructal Law of Design in Nature, the central idea behind this book, feels just like such an idea.

As usual the way I found this book has a nice, curious memory for me and I am beginning to feel that its content itself describes the way I found it.

Burn Math Class by Jason Wilkes

Burn Math Class by Jason Wilkes

Date 23/07/2016

This a book I wish I had written although If I had, I would write it differently.

I am only a 5th of the way through this average sized yet surprisingly dense book. Normally I do not like these stiff, heavy kind of books, but I am going to make another exception here.

Burn Math Class is fantastic.

It does what it says on the tin. You can forget about math class and get into some beautiful mathematical discovery. As you read through the book it feels something like what it must have felt like to those early discoverers of Mathematics. Wilkes encourages you to think about the ways in which mathematical thought actually discovers genuinely new types of thinking.

The Economics of Inequality by Thomas Piketty

The Economics of Inequality by Thomas Piketty

Date 23/07/2016

What should one say when they’ve read so little of a book. One could talk about they’ve heard, I suppose…

Well, for a start I bat closer to the Austrian school of Economics than any Keynesian or Communal kind. I feel more at home with Thomas Sowell than I do with a Stiglitz, Krugman or a Piketty. So reading this book feels harder to me than it should.

Where to Invade Next by Michael Moore

Where to Invade Next by Michael Moore

This a movie by Michael Moore (MM) that like all his other movies, makes you think about how society is organized and about how we can make it better.

I don’t often agree with MM, I find him a bit of a hack. A man who finds socialism in every cure and a man who knows the solution before he asks the question. One look at him and you know something is wrong. He looks so unhealthy it actually turns me off. (And don’t look at this photoshopped image and get confused. Actually look at him on TV or elsewhere.)

The Invisible Pyramid by Loren Eiseley

Sun, 03 Jul 2016 04:42:21 +0400

The Invisible Pyramid by Loren Eiseley

Date 03/07/2016

I picked up this gem of a book in a secondhand junk store for just 1$ and it is a lovely piece of work. It is a book that teaches you more about how beautiful the poetry of noticing the things in your environment is, rather than the content of the book itself.

You realize how much we miss in everyday life, the things you miss because you’re so busy and stressed out, the things you take for granted. What Eiseley does in this book is to chart a version of human history as he saw it from first hand experience. It is a book about how human yearning, the yearning to learn and explore created the Rocket Century, about how our aspirations will create the future.

Holding My Breath

Wed, 29 Jun 2016 04:46:40 +0400

Holding My Breath

Sometimes it amazes me the things I have done. I must have been about 13 when breath holding became a game and a challenge. I used to run a bath at home, dive in and try to hold my breath as long as I can. I would have a Casio watch on my wrist to measure the passing time.

In the beginning I wasn’t very good, holding my breath for a minute was difficult but over time I learned that I need to first calm down my mind and would spend about 5 minutes meditating, calming all my bodily functions before taking the plunge.

The Dictators Learning Curve

Inside the global battle for democracy

27/06/2016

This is a book about the interplay between authoritarian regimes and the forces that oppose them. It is about the historical developments in the politics and implementation of such regimes.

As the title suggests, there is a ’learning curve’ at work here, an evolutionary arms race. There is a ‘war’ between the forces of democracy and authority.

Writing now, just days after the UK referendum ended in a Brexit, I can see these forces at play, yet again.

Integral Meditation by Ken Wilber

I first came across Ken Wilber when I picked up ‘A Brief History of Everything’ and wow, was I surprised. It wasn’t quite like anything I have read before. I then tried I ‘Sex, Ecology & Spirituality’ and very much liked it.

Ken Wilber has a way of integrating wide portions of human knowledge and experience , producing works that really have you thinking deeply about the world around you and within you. It is quite fascinating.

viKid has a nasty habit of reading hundreds of books in parallel. The problem with this approach is that he *never quite finishes anything and writing complete reviews becomes difficult, or very slow at least.

The solution?

The concept of a blog bundled with a rolling release. As this is a wiki, he can just augment reviews as he reads more and more.

The original 32 bit implementation is written in C, and supports 32bit programming. Over the years the language has grown and is now available in 64 bit. The really cool things is this time the language is implemented by a [assembler written in picolisp](http://software-lab.de/doc64/asm generic). The picolisp website has all the documentation that you need to get setup and running. It also has an extensive tutorial on the language. So you can get started there.

Why was it so effective at describing natural phenomenon?

La Sankta Bibilio

As a part of learning and enjoying esperanto I have decided to copy/translate parts of the Holy Bible. I am doing this because I find it interesting and because I have always had a fascination with all sorts of religious texts.

Some years ago before taking esperanto very seriously (not that I am so serious now!), I downloaded a copy of the Esperanto Bible in pdf, I know not the source. The copy is buggy and contains several errors ranging from simple spelling mistakes to the use of non-existent words. I am correcting these as I go along.

Environments Anchor

Our Minds are oriented by the artifacts around us. Our understanding of time, people, our beliefs, habits, etc… are a function of what we place around us and where we situate our selves. This is because our physical surroundings anchor our psychological environments. People who live in fast cities become fast. People who work in organised work environments become more organised themselves. People who live in clean environments, keep their inner environment clean. Etc…

Articles

I have always fancied myself a bit of a writer, ha ha :-) but I know I am not one of those, I have read too many who are. It doesn’t matter too much anyway. What I do hope is that you like what I have written. There will be a few mistakes, especially grammatical errors and typos. I was never any good at all that. I have also changed my views significantly since these articles were written. So what is here is only what I was thinking when I wrote it and not necessarily things I hold dear or near now. Recently, I have decided a policy that may be summarized as ‘publish whatever’. That means I won’t generally wait till I have finished whatever I am working on before I publish. This is generally because I don’t actually finish anything I start! It is just the viKid way.
