  1. Art of War:  Chapter 5, Energy

    16. Amid the turmoil and tumult of battle, there may be seeming disorder and yet no real disorder at all; amid confusion and chaos, your array may be without head or tail, yet it will be proof against defeat.  17. Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline, simulated fear postulates courage, simulated weakness postulates strength.  18. Hiding order beneath the cloak of disorder is simply a question of subdivision; concealing courage under a show of timidity presupposes a fund of latent energy, masking strength with weakness is to be effected by tactical dispositions.

    While I think there is shit at play that goes beyond what we, the general populous can see, I do believe it takes a highly trained "actor" to continually drive disorder.   That highly trained actor is best when it comes natural and well, Captain Toupee has been trained for this role, and is a natural narcissist and purveyor of chaos.  Meanwhile, he is clearly supported, otherwise, he'd be out by now or would have never been granted office.  Do I like it? Hell no.  Do I have a choice in the matter right now? Not really.  Due process will have to take its place and we will see what happens.  I feel for all those who are in his path of destruction and chaos.

    I kind of like the idea of a pantheon where the various gods are constantly fucking with us, each other, and nature. That sort of chaos certainly seems to be more reflective of our reality, so bring on the old gods.

    Chaos only occurs through fear and the duality of man, gods, religion, etc. cannot be forgotten.  Fear doesn't work if there isn't Love.  Love doesn't work unless there is Fear.  Take both out and you have a void.   Not to mention, that these arguments are still based on an emotional response or reaction and emotions are fallible.

  3. What does it matter?  Nearly every religion thinks it's the only one that should exist.  Quick search shows 20 major religions and many subsets off of each one.

    If you aren't a part of the "tribe" or chosen people or grafted in, you are going to hell.  If you aren't muslim, you're an infidel and going to hell.  If you aren't southern Baptist, Methodist, church of Christ, you're all wrong and going to hell. If you aren't blah, blah, blah, you're going to hell.

    Why focus on such a fear based motivation tool to change humanity or save souls?

    I loved that book. The sequel, not so much.

     

    Started it last night.  Starts off well!  I was surprised.  Was kind of dreading all the backstory, fill in the gaps, set the stage and having that draw on for 2-8 chapters.  So far I am digging it. 

  5. With this new layout...I went down a rabbit hole and barely came back out alive with forums colliding. 

    Politics and Football at once.  Whoa.  What am I seeing? what am I reading? and what is the number to my doctor as I need to up my blood pressure meds?

    Side note:  I am curious as to what kind of processing power this option takes with the get/post queries.  May be easier now with a new database and once we fill up the databases with our inanity it will require even more power.
