Rapid solving Rubik’s cube is not marvellous but rote:
People celebrate or are wowed when they hear of people solving Rubik’s cube blindfolded or within 13 seconds when it is false understanding.
It is impossible that a person given his first cube can solve it blindfolded or in 13 seconds but it reflects countless practice attended by memorization such that it is second nature, needs no thinking to twist the cube in a way that will solve the puzzle.
THE ABILITY OF SOME INDIVIDUALS TO SOLVE RUBIK’S PUZZLE SO RAPIDLY IS NOTHING TO CELEBRATE BECAUSE IT INDICATES IT IS NO FEAT OF GENIUS BUT PURELY ROTE BEHAVIOR BASED ON MEMORY OF HOW TO SOLVE THE PUZZLE.
YOU HAVE FALSE UNDERSTANDING IF YOU THINK THE PERSON IS A GENIUS AND YOU HAVE CORRECT UNDERSTANDING IF YOU THINK THE FAST SOLVER IS AN OBSESSED ROBOT REHASHING HIS SOLVING BY MEMORY.
Solving the Rubik's cube is impossible for many people, but one Leeds teenager has set a new record for cracking the puzzle - blindfolded.
Joey Gouly, 17, found it such a doddle to solve the cube with his eyes open that he set himself a new challenge.
His quick-handed technique has now earned him the national record for performing the feat blindfolded in two minutes and 27 seconds.
Joey said: "A lot of people do it one handed, but I'm better blindfolded."
But despite his new record set at a contest in Birmingham, it is not Joey's personal best. With his eyes open, he can crack the cube in just 15 seconds.
The puzzle champion has dedicated daily practice to perfecting his technique since he bought his first cube when he was 16.
'Logical mind'
"I'd seen people do it on the internet and I thought, I can do that," said Joey, a pupil at Roundhay School.
"It was just a bit of fun at first but then it grew and it became my main hobby. Once I'd solved it, I just kept setting myself new times and getting faster and faster."
Joey's flair for solving the puzzle has been fuelled by his mathematical ability.
"There is a lot of maths involved in solving the cube and that really interests me.
"I think having a logical mind helps, but a lot of it is down to practice and natural ability."
Hungarian architect Erno Rubik invented the cube in Hungary in 1974. More than 300 million cubes have been sold since.
A Japanese teenager currently holds the world record for completing the cube in 13 seconds.
China quake due to bad karma:
Actress Sharon Stone said the recent China quake was due to bad karma linked to Tibet.
China’s earthquake is due to bad karma but not as a result of Tibet but China’s earthquake is due to mankind’s collective bad karma that has happened now in China and will later in the US, so don’t gloat because she can be a victim to come and if you are to talk of karma for others, make sure you yourself are not at risk of bad karma that is far worse than you ever dreamt possible.
SHE HAS FALSE UNDERSTANDING TO THINK THE EARTHQUAKE IS DUE TO BAD KARMA DUE TO TIBET BUT THE BAD KARMA IS MANKIND’S COLLECTIVE BAD KARMA THAT WILL LIKELY STRIKE THE US JUST AS IT STRUCK CHINA NOW.
All Malaysians Have Special Rights:
In the effort to be too clever or to please readers so that they will be attracted to read what he writes the person uses an outrageous false headline.
In the effort to be too clever or to please readers so that they will be attracted to read what he writes the person uses an outrageous false headline.
If all Malaysians have special rights then the rights cannot be special because everyone have it so what is said is nonsense and if you believe in nonsense you will descend into nonsense and that is mad.
WHAT IS SAID IS ALWAYS FALSE AND IF YOU SEE NOTHING WRONG THEN YOU DO NOT TRULY UNDERSTAND, YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE PRESENTED WITH.
Jesus said woe to you who laughs for you shall weep yet virtually all Christians from top to bottom indulge in laughter and see nothing wrong reflecting that they do not understand. For one who understands, what Jesus said is absolute and anyone who laughs and see nothing wrong, even think it is fun will weep.
The reason is because laughter is rote repetitive exercising of the facial muscles that is meaningless, does not produce any fruits except to please, impress and even intimidate others, it applies prolonging, even force violently accelerating in speed and strength on the mind that conditions and harms the mind that will ultimately lapse into madness.
THUS THE FACT THAT CHRISTIANS CONTINUE TO LAUGH, SEE NOTHING WRONG REFLECTS THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND, THEY HAVE NO GENUINE UNDERSTANDING.
Dr M: I’m out he (Ezzam) is in:
The statement may be intended to be funny or sarcastic but it is fostering false logic and perception in himself and others to see that there is a connection between his resigning and Ezzam joining when any connection is nonexistent or tenuous.
PEOPLE SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH SUCH REMARKS WHEN IT MAY REFLECT THEIR LACK OF UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE ANYONE WHO SPEAKS OF SUCH ASSOCIATIONS NOT ONLY CULTIVATES FALSE LOGIC AND PERCEPTION IN HIMSELF BUT ENCOURAGES OTHERS TO DO SO SIMILARLY TO SEE THAT THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN DR M RESIGNING AND EZAM JOINING WHEN IT IS TENUOUS AT BEST.
Why markets are immoral not amoral:
George Soros is quoted as saying markets are amoral not immoral but that is wrong view that is the result of denial because he himself is a devoted marketeer.
For every dollar you make, there must be someone you made it from or who lost it to you and so your gain deprived others.
When Soros broke the Bank of England and made a billion pounds, he made it off the Bank and ultimately the British public.
The Buddha said that righteously gained wealth is wealth gained through sweat of your brow.
When you invest you are putting your money not yourself to work. No matter what you say you are gambling with your money hoping to make more money usually quick without doing any work and whatever is gambling is sinfully, even if you lost your money.
As Jesus said, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven and so if you are desirous of investing you are not denying yourself, you may gain ‘fabulous’ wealth or lose it all but either way you are not going to heaven because you are addicted or hooked (only force can hook) to this world.
Set in their ways:
People speak disparagingly or in despair of others being set in their ways not realizing it means people are robots.
Only force & emotion can set a person in his own way which means his behaviour is definable, predictable and that can only come about if they are recorded and rehashed and they are robots.
Not only are people set in their ways about how and what they speak and do, they are set in their ways in what and how they think and see things.
Parading Ezzam & False Perception:
Recently Ezzam the former Keadilan youth leader was paraded prominently on TV far longer than is necessary and he was even given an extended interview in prime time TV.
Extending or prolonging the coverage of his admission to UMNO too is a form of prolonging for those responsible and it too leads to sadness just as stretching syllables lead to sadness. Anyone who uses force to prolong in whatever way is using force unnecessary and conditioning himself to sadness which is nothing more than the consciousness experiencing mental force prolonging that is purposeless. Now you prolong coverage of Ezzam’s admission to gain political capital later you lose control of the automated urge to prolong to experience sadness.
The motive is probably to show that a high profile member of the opposition has deserted the opposition and so the opposition ‘is on the brink of disintegration’.
It is false logic and perception for anyone to think so and this is a harbinger to future mad logic and perception. People join and leave political parties all the time often for trivial or personal reasons of friction so it is false perception that Ezzam’s departure spells the disintegration of the opposition or that they are bad.
THERE IS NO NEED TO PARADE EZZAM TO THE PUBLIC. HOW VALUABLE AND SIGNIFICANT A DEFECTION HE IS REMAINS TO BE SEEN, THERE IS NO NEED TO BEAT THE DRUM TO BOAST.
Proof speculators involved in oil bubble:
Reports of exchanges asking for more deposits or margins from investors is an indication that speculators are not only involved but they are leveraging, trading on margin with money they may not have, exposing markets to risk of collapse should they default on their purchases.
If you are reckless, you do not have to have $1000 to buy $1000 worth of oil, you merely deposit $100 and the exchange will execute your purchase. This enables you to buy more oil than you actually can (leveraging) and it is fine so long as you do not have to pay $1000 that you do not have.
NOT ONLY ARE SPECULATORS ACTIVE ON THE OIL MARKET, THEY ARE LEVERAGING, TRADING ON MARGIN WHICH MEANS THEY CAN BUY MORE OIL THAN THEY ACTUALLY CAN, EXPOSING THE MARKET TO RISK OF COLLAPSE SHOULD THEY DEFAULT ON THEIR PURCHASES.
Oil price profiteering to be curbed at ICE Futures Europe and Nymex
By James Quinn, Wall Street Correspondent
Last Updated: 10:52pm BST 30/05/2008
Two of the world's largest energy exchanges have forced traders to deposit significantly more money when investing to curb volatility in energy markets and drive out speculators.
The exchanges and related clearing houses have found themselves at the centre of the growing storm over claims that speculators have been behind the recent rise in oil prices to record levels.
The New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex) and ICE Futures Europe in London, the former International Petroleum Exchange, have now tripled "margin calls" for some contracts.
They hope the increased margin calls will reduce volatility and force out some of the more speculative players.

· Oil prices to be probed by US regulator CFTC
· More on oil
Nymex has announced a threefold increase in margin calls for long-dated Brent crude futures in New York. As a result margin calls on some contracts will jump from $100 to $300 for clearing members.
On more popular contracts, such as Brent for one-month delivery, the margin call will rise by 12.5pc to $450 for clearing members.

For investors with sizeable positions, the increase could mean the difference between a profit and a loss and appears to have already forced some speculative traders to close their positions.
The move, introduced by ICE earlier in the week and followed by Nymex yesterday, has coincided with a fall in the price of oil by around $7 a barrel from last week's record high of more than $135. In London yesterday, a barrel of Brent crude for July delivery was up 88 cents at $127.77 in late trading. In New York, a barrel of sweet crude was up $1.34 at $127.96.
Rob Laughlin, senior energy broker for MF Global in London, said that, as a result of the increases, many "smaller speculators have finally taken their money and run". However, Walter Lukken, acting chairman of the US Commodities Futures Trading Commission, yesterday dismissed the idea that raising margin calls would help long- term, saying it would just force speculators to go elsewhere.
A spokesman for Nymex would not explain why the margin calls had been raised, except to say that the calls are based on a formula linked to volume and volatility and are assessed on a daily basis.
The ICE in London, where the contracts are cleared by LCH.Clearnet, has also increased margin calls - for a "lot" of Brent crude, for example, the initial margin call has risen by a third to $10,000.
LCH.Clearnet said the margin call was raised because of "a change in the nature of the volatility across the oil curves".Lehman Bros' chief energy economist Edward Morse blamed the spike in oil prices on Wall Street analysts repeatedly raising their forecasts. The investment bank described the price rise as a repeat of the dotcom bubble of the late 1990s.
In a research note, entitled "Oil dotcom", Mr Morse and Lehman's fixed income and commodities research team argue that the ratcheting up of forecasts for oil is partly to blame for the recent increase.
"Fundamental changes cannot explain sudden, severe price or curve movements," wrote Mr Morse. "As in the dotcom period, when "new economy" stocks became popular, a growing number of Wall Street analysts have been repeatedly raising their forecasts as oil prices have risen."
Pension funds were speculating in oil:
According to this Reuter report, pension funds with big financial muscle jumped into oil & commodity indices chasing big returns may face big losses should oil prices drop significantly.
Thus the herd instinct and greed in pursuit of oversized returns may have spurred many even those considered staid or conservative to enter the oil market because ‘that is where the action is today’ rather than the stock or property market. Fund managers are like a herd of deranged bulls first rushing into stocks then into property and now into commodity.
Oil bubble could prove threat to pension funds
Fri May 30, 2008 2:33pm EDT
By Matthew Robinson - Analysis
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Pension funds and other investors who rushed into oil through commodity indexes this year chasing big returns as other asset classes tanked could face steep losses if prices fall from record highs.
An avalanche of cash has rolled into commodities through simple long-only indexes this year, feeding the record-setting oil rally some experts say could be a bubble that is becoming more vulnerable to shifts in supply and demand fundamentals.
A sell-off in oil could spell big losses for the pension funds, municipal funds, college funds, unions and other groups that jumped out of equities-market plays and into the indexes, but have little experience or flexibility to deal with fundamental changes in commodities.
"A lot of the accounts that that have moved into commodities over the last 8-12 months clearly don't belong in this forum," said Peter Beutel, president of Cameron Hanover.
"It means that when this market turns, these people are going to get hurt, and they are going to get hurt badly, and there will be tons of lawsuits because they have no understanding how quickly commodities markets can turn and leave them in the dust," he explained.
While many in the energy sector, such as U.S. Energy Secretary Sam Bodman, argue that fundamentals are driving oil's rally, others say investment in commodity indexes has pushed prices beyond what supply and demand may justify, contributing to the 30 percent price rise over $130 per barrel this year.
"We are seeing the classic ingredients of an asset class bubble," said Edward Morse, chief energy economist for Lehman Brothers. "Financial investors tend to 'herd' and chase past performance, comforted by the growing analytical conclusion that markets are tightening, and new flows, in turn, drive prices higher."
Indexes such as the giant S&P GSCI and DJ-AIG offer investors a passive way to own a basket of commodities futures including oil, gasoline, metals and grains.
They sell front-month futures and buy second-month contracts, allowing them to make money when oil prices rise across the curve, particularly when front-month prices are higher than second-month prices.
Investors, exiting asset classes hit by the global credit crunch, have sought to cash-in on a six-year rally that has sent oil prices up sixfold to $135 a barrel this month as supplies struggled to meet rising demand from such emerging economies as China and India.
BUBBLE TROUBLE?
Some experts say much of the 30 percent rise in oil prices since the start of this year may owe a lot to the inflow of new money, and that fundamentals may not justify current prices.
Demand from big consumer nations like the United States has already faltered, and moves by some Asian countries to cut fuel subsidies could clip usage further. Prices could also fall with a significant rebound in the U.S. dollar, after weakness in the greenback sent speculators into oil.
"These are institutional investors who have said we have looked at all the things we can invest in and we decided it's commodities," said Sarah Emerson, director of Energy Security Analysis Inc.
"They are buying and holding and then buying more and holding more, and the physical market doesn't discipline them," she added.
Investment under commodities indexes has ballooned from around $70 billion at the start of 2006 to $235 billion in mid-April, about $90 billion of which has come from fresh financial flows with the rest coming from gains in the underlying commodities, according to Lehman Brothers.
Analysts said that while speculators such as hedge funds, which can be long or short markets, are frequently blamed for driving up prices, it may actually be pension and college funds investing money for average citizens that are helping cause fuel and food riots around the globe.
"Professional speculators are seen as the bad guys and pension funds are seen as the good guys, but it's pension funds that are the bad guys," said Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix.
Use youtube to visit places in the world:
I just used youtube to get views of various cities in the world including Adelaide.
People have placed videos showing various places on youtube and now just by clicking you can get a picture of what it is like in Adelaide or Melbourne.
Your pension fund wants to make you jobless:
By investing (gambling) on oil index futures, your pension fund is helping to drive oil prices up to ridiculous levels threatening to send the economy into a tailspin so that you may even lose your job. Hence it reflects that this is a crazy world in which people try to maximize returns on their retirement savings by investing in funds that then recklessly seek maximum returns without considering long term consequences and in the process it boomerangs to harm that person.
NOT ONLY ARE THERE SPECULATORS ON THE OIL MARKETS BUT THEY MAY BE LARGELY IF NOT ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STEEP RISE IN OIL PRICES IN WHICH OIL PRODUCERS ARE LARGELY THE PASSIVE DELIGHTED BENEFICIARIES.
NOT ONLY ARE THERE SPECULATORS ON THE OIL MARKETS BUT THEY ARE LEVERAGED SIGNIFICANTLY, ENABLING THEM TO BUY MORE THAN THEY OTHERWISE WOULD IF THEY HAVE TO PUT UP THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE CONTRACT INSTEAD OF A FRACTION IN ORDER TO PLACE BETS.
NOT ONLY ARE THERE GREED DRIVEN PROFESSIONAL SPECULATORS ON THE OIL MARKET BUT APPARENTLY RESPECTABLE PENSION FUNDS ARE IN FOR A PIECE OF THE ACTION SEEKING QUICK FAST RETURNS.
SPECULATORS ARE LIKE SHARKS; ONCE THEY SMELL BLOOD THEY WILL ENCIRCLE AND WILL NOT BE DENIED UNLESS CHASED AWAY.
UMNO comes first:
The Buddha said a position is what he has abandoned and the reason is because all positions are suffering and conditioning and the more positions you adopt, the more you suffer and become confused by your different positions. “UMNO comes first” is a position and it can be proven to be objectively false with the intention that is karma to pander to others and attack those perceived as not putting UMNO first. Keep adopting and broadcasting your positions on various subjects and you are like a silkworm spinning deceit around you that you do not realize is like a coffin that will bury you.
Reflecting his advanced false perception Najib who was purported to have made this statement thinks he is correct to say it and it casts him in good light when it is the opposite, he has no right to say that and it casts him in bad light and reflecting how foolish the rakyat is, they see nothing wrong and does nothing to censure him like voting him out of office, since UMNO comes first, he should ask UMNO to vote him into office.
At all times to all politicians whether aspiring or established, elected or hoping to be elected, it is the electorate that comes first, not UMNO or any political party however rich and powerful because it is the rakyat that puts you in office, not UMNO. If UMNO comes first then the rakyat at best comes second and it is the foolish rakyat who will tolerate this because the rakyat’s interest is at stake and so it vital in the interest of the rakyat that they should elect someone who holds their interest first.
IT IS NAJIB’S POOR JUDGMENT AND FALSE PERCEPTION TO THINK HE IS JUSTIFIED TO SAY WHAT HE SAID, IT WILL GO DOWN WELL WITH THE PUBLIC WHEN HE IS REVEALING HIS TRUE UMNO CENTERED SELFISH COLORS AND IT IS THE PUBLIC’S FOOLISHNESS IN TOLERATING AND NOT PUNISHING POLITICIANS WHO SAY THEIR PARTY’S INTEREST AND NOT THE RAKYAT’S INTEREST COMES FIRST.
MOST PEOPLE INCLUDING THOSE WHO THINK THEY ARE VERY SOPHISTICATED SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS STATEMENT, PROBABLY THINK NAJIB HAS A RIGHT TO SAY THAT BEING DEPUTY UMNO PRESIDENT.
BEING AN ELECTED PUBLIC FIGURE AND AWARE IT IS THE PUBLIC AND NOT UMNO THAT ELECTED YOU, THE BASIS OF YOUR EXISTENCE AS A PUBLIC FIGURE IS THE PUBLIC AND IT IS THEIR INTEREST THAT MUST COME FIRST OR LOYALTY TO THE ELECTORATE COMES BEFORE PARTY LOYALTY. NOT ONLY MUST YOU SAY IT BUT YOU MUST DO IT OTHERWISE YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE. IF A PERSON CAN COMMIT SUCH A FAUX PAS AND THINK HE IS CORRECT TO SAY SO, SEES NOTHING WRONG, HE CANNOT BE A VERY GOOD OR WISE LEADER.
Why is this statement always false or hypocritical?
It is not UMNO that is first but it is his self interest that is never constant but ever changing, that he himself cannot be certain of, that is first and he is merely speaking what is expedient and sounds impressive (impressively loyal to attack those he perceived as being disloyal to UMNO).
THIS IS NOT A STATEMENT OF REASON OR TRUTH BUT IT IS A STATEMENT HE ISSUED WITHOUT FIRST SEEING IT IS TRUE OR HE IS EMOTIONAL AND DELUDED IF HE PERCEIVED IT IS TRUE BUT CAN BE OBJECTIVELY PROVEN TO BE FALSE WITH INTENTION TO ATTACK THOSE PERCEIVED TO BE DISLOYAL TO UMNO AND TO FALSELY PORTRAY HIMSELF AS LOYAL WHEN HE CAN BE JUST AS SELF SERVING. THE BUDDHA SAID INTENTION IS KARMA AND THERE IS INTENTION HERE THAN IS UNSAVOURY TO ATTACK AND THAT IS KARMA.
THUS HERE AS EVERYWHERE ELSE NAJIB AND ORDINARY PEOPLE THINK THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS SAID BUT THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND OR WHAT THEY UNDERSTAND IS THEIR MISUNDERSTANDING. SUPERFICIALLY IT MAY APPEAR EMOTIONAL, STYLISH LIKING AND DISLIKING PEOPLE UNDERSTAND OR AT LEAST THEY UNDERSTAND CERTAIN THINGS BUT IT MAY BE A MYTH, SELF DECEPTION, THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND AT ALL, THEY DO NOT SEE TRUTH AS TRUTH, FALSE AS FALSE, NONSENSE AS NONSENSE BUT THEY PERCEIVE FALSE AS TRUE, NONSENSE AS SENSIBLE HERE AS EVERYWHERE ELSE.
The truth isn’t easily seen:
It was the Buddha who said the truth is not easily seen and so if you think you and this world easily see the truth you may be deluded or again wrong.
Jesus said the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees nor knows (can work out) him implying the world does not see and know the truth otherwise it would see and know the counsellor.
There are many ways to view a matter arising and there are many subjects that people can dwell on and yet for one who discerns no one speaks on matters the way I do or speak of the subjects I dwell on.
IS WHAT I SAY & HOW I SAY THE FALSITY THAT THIS WORLD DOES NOT KNOW OR IS IT THE TRUTH THAT THIS WORLD CANNOT SEE AND KNOW? WHY DOES NO ONE ELSE TELL THE FALSITIES I TELL THE WAY I TELL ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO DISTINGUISH THEMSELVES BY ALL MEANS?
They cannot understand:
Ordinary people even highly intellectual ones cannot understand, they are incapable of understanding because they possess mental force, style, like and dislike that is an insurmountable barrier to genuine understanding.
What they call their understanding is their styled, programmed and rehashed rigid understanding of things either by copying others or cobbled by themselves.
Genuine understanding has no force attending and is fresh specific for each occasion. There is style or forceful prolonging, changing of speed and strength in force of whatever emotional people understand and this understanding is committed to memory to be reproduced to meet subsequent occasions and so it is not genuine specific understanding but generalized and reproduced.
Emotional stylish people’s minds are like a mirror that is warped by the force present so that whatever is reflected by that mirror is distorted and must be distorted and not the undistorted truth. Only a mind not under the influence of force (and its surrogates style, like and dislike, sadness, hurt, fear) is undistorted and can reflect whatever perfectly and because ordinary people’s minds are constantly under the spell of force they cannot truly understand.
UNTIL A PERSON CONVERTS HIMSELF FROM A ROBOT TO A GENUINE PERSON, ERADICATES HIS STYLE OR USE OF FORCE TO STRETCH, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS, ERADICATES HIS LIKE AND DISLIKE, SADNESS, HURT AND FEAR HE CANNOT KNOW AND SEE THE TRUTH EXCEPT IN HIS DELUSION HE CAN.
I can see they don’t understand:
When I speak to even those who are supposed to be highly intellectual I can see they exist in a private false deluded world and they do not understand what I say despite their smiles and nodding or for show understanding or courteous disguised disagreement not as a result of genuine reason but they do not like what I say that does not fit into their world views or ways of thinking.
What I say is actually straightforward, not difficult to understand at all and it is their lack of understanding, refusal to understand (only force directly or via dislike or prejudice can make someone not understand) or their need to interpret what I say according to the rules and notions in their heads that make it difficult or impossible for them to understand.
People have already preconceived notions about things that are usually wrong and they try to fit what I say or what others say into their preconceived notions with varying success. When what they hear fits quite well, they smile, nod and think they understand when they are merely reconfirming their preconceived notions. When what they hear does not fit with their notions, they are at loss and even irritated and refuse to understand or they switch off.
SPEAKING TO PEOPLE EVEN THOSE TOUTED TO BE INTELLIGENT, I CAN SEE AND KNOW THEY LACK GENUINE UNDERSTANDING, THEY ARE MERELY PUTTING A SHOW TO GET ALONG SOMETIMES FAKING THEY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE WHEN THEY DON’T AND OFTEN THEIR FACIAL REACTIONS BETRAY THAT THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS PLAINLY SAID TO THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE A BARRICADE OF FORCEFULLY HELD WORLD VIEWS THAT ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO PENETRATE NOT JUST BY ME BUT BY ALL OTHERS. PEOPLE ARE OPINIONATED, THEY HOLD FIXED VIEWS THAT ARE SHARED BY OTHERS AND WHEN THEY UNDERSTAND THEY ARE MERELY MATCHING COMMUNICATIONS BY OTHERS TO THOSE OPINIONS. IF WHAT THEY HEAR DO NOT MATCH, THEY WILL DISMISS OR DISLIKE AND THEY ARE HARD PRESSED OR IMPOTENT TO MAKE SENSE OF WHAT IS SAID TO THEM THAT DOES NOT MATCH THEIR VIEWS.
Proof they cannot see and understand:
If you are doing something all the time and you do not know it, do not understand what is its nature and even after I tell you clearly you still do not understand, especially when you are well educated, how is it possible you truly understand because a person who truly understands sees truth as truth and falsity as falsity so how is it that you did not know the nature of the smiling and liking you are practicing frequently and still tell me “I smile because I like someone”, something that is not emanating from an unsophisticated person but from a qualified doctor and someone who believes he practice Christianity or truth (Jesus said I tell you the truth) seriously.
EVEN THOSE WHO ARE HIGHLY EDUCATED AND RELIGIOUS CANNOT WORK OUT THE NATURE OR UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE DOING ALL THE TIME AND EVEN AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD MANY TIMES THEY TURN AROUND AND TICK ME OFF.
IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR SMILE IS MERELY A PLAN OF HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR FACIAL MUSCLES THAT IS STANDARDIZED FOR YOU AND DIFFERS FROM OTHERS THAT INVOLVES THE APPLICATION AND TRANSMISSION OF HARMFUL FORCE PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH THAT HARMS YOUR OWN MIND AND THE RECIPIENT’S MIND AND LIKING IS NOTHING MORE THAN THE STIRRING OF YOUR MENTAL FORCE ATTRACTIVELY THAT IS ALL ABOUT FORCE THAT IS BLIND AND MEANINGLESS APART FROM SUFFERING? WHY DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT YOUR LIKING THAT CAUSED YOU TO SMILE BUT IT IS A DESIRE TO ENGAGE THE OTHER PERSON FOR SELFISH ENDS THAT CAUSED YOU TO SMILE?
IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHY DO YOU NOT SEE THE CONSTANT STYLE OR CONSTANT USE OF FORCE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT IS PRESENT IN YOUR SPEECH AND OTHERS THAT IS MEANINGLESS, FOR SHOW TO DECEIVE, PLEASE, IMPRESS, INTIMIDATE AND DOMINATE AND IS THE SOURCE OF THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, DISTRACTION, SADNESS, HURT AND FEAR YOU MUST SUFFER FROM.
A PERSON WHO TRULY UNDERSTANDS WILL SEE TRUTH AS TRUTH AND THE TRUTH IS THAT STYLE IS JUST THE CONSTANT USE OF FORCE TO STRETCH, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT IS HARMFUL AND MEANINGLESS. NOT ONLY DO ORDINARY PEOPLE NOT SEE, THEY CANNOT SEE AND UNDERSTAND EVEN AFTER I HAVE POINTED OUT.
JUST AS YOU CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH HERE YOU CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH ELSEWHERE AS I HAVE POINTED OUT IN MANY PLACES WHAT PEOPLE SAY OR DO ARE FALSE.
IF YOU CAN SEE THE TRUTH, WHY CAN’T YOU SEE WHAT JESUS SAID IS TRUE THAT WOE TO YOU WHO LAUGHS FOR YOU SHALL WEEP OR WHAT THE BUDDHA SAID SINGING IS CRYING AND DANCING IS INSANITY IS TRUE?
THE REASON WHY THIS IS POSSIBLE IS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SOPHISTICATED ROBOTS AND ROBOTS JUST DO WHAT IS PROGRAMMED AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING AND IT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ROBOTS THAT THEY DO OR SAY THINGS WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE OF WHAT THEY SAY OR DO.
A robot can only understand what it is programmed to understand:
A robot can only ‘understand’ or make sense what it is programmed to ‘understand’ it cannot understand whatever its programs do not cater for and in order to make a robot understand or make sense of new things you must reprogram him and he will then ‘understand’ these new things that he could not understand before.
But this new understanding is programmed or instructed understanding not genuine understanding that they now apply to situations occurring.
IT IS PRECISELY BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ROBOTS THAT THEY WILL ONLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY AND SOCIETY HAVE PROGRAMMED THEM TO UNDERSTAND AND THEY WILL NOT UNDERSTAND OR ARE ALL AT SEA WITH THINGS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PROGRAMMED TO UNDERSTAND OR MAKE SENSE OF. EVEN WHEN THEY MAKE SENSE OF, IT IS WHAT THEIR PROGRAMS TELL THEM THAT THEY ARE MAKING SENSE OF, THEY ARE NOT GENUINELY MAKING SENSE OF SOMETHING.
IT IS LABORIOUS TO REPROGRAM ROBOTS, IT TAKES TIME AND EFFORT NOTHING WORTHWHILE IS ACHIEVED AND YOU ARE MERELY CONVERTING HIM FROM ONE ROBOT UNDERSTANDING IN A CERTAIN WAY TO ANOTHER ROBOT UNDERSTANDING IN ANOTHER WAY. WHAT IS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT IS TO CHANGE A PERSON FROM A PROGRAMMED ROBOT WHO CAN ONLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS PROGRAMMED TO UNDERSTAND TO A TRULY GENUINE UNDERSTANDING LIVE SPECIFIC TO THE OCCASION PERSON.
AN EXAMPLE OF GENUINE LOGIC:
YOU DO NOT NEED SUPERNATURAL POWERS TO WORK OUT THE TRUTH OF SOMETHING HAPPENING BUT YOU NEED GENUINE LOGIC.
FOR EXAMPLE, UNLESS YOU ARE MAD THERE MUST BE A THING CALLED LIKING AND SMILING WHEN YOUKEEP REFERRING TO THEM AS WHEN YOU SAY YOU SMILE BECAUSE YOU LIKED SOMEONE.
IF THERE IS SUCH A THING CALLED SMILING AND LIKING, THEY MUST BE CLEARLY DEFINABLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE.
I SAY SMILING IS NOTHING OTHER THAN A PLAN OF HOW TO EXERCISE THE MUSCLES OF YOUR FACE TO EXPRESS LIKING, TO PLEASE AND IMPRESS OTHERS, TO FAKE THAT YOU LIKED WHEN YOU DID NOT AND EVEN TO INTIMIDATE AND DOMINATE SOMEONE THAT IS STANDARDIZED TO BE REHASHED REPEATEDLY AND INVOLVES THE USE OF FORCE TO PROLONG, CHANGE SPEED AND STRENGTH THAT IS MEANINGLESS, CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD, ONLY FOR SHOW AND HARMS SELF AND OTHERS.
I SAY LIKING IS MERELY THE CONSCIOUSNESS EXPERIENCE OF THE STIRRING OF YOUR MENTAL FORCE OF GOING AGAINST SELF TO BE ATTRACTED TO SOMETHING JUST AS AN ELECTROMAGNET CAN BE SWITCHED FROM LIKING TO DISLIKING BY CHANGING THE DIRECTION OF CURRENT OR FORCE THAT IS ALL ABOUT FORCE STIRRING THAT IS BLIND AND MEANINGLESS AND CAUSES STRESS TO SELF.
IF YOU DISPUTE WHAT I SAY THEN WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF THE LIKING AND SMILING THAT YOU ARE REGULARLY TALKING ABOUT THAT YOU WANT TO RECOMMEND TO OTHERS? IF YOU CANNOT OFFER A RATIONAL ALTERNATIVE DEFINITION YOU MUST BE A FOOL WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING WHEN HE IS LIKING AND SMILING AND YOU ARE UNRIGHTEOUS TO DISMISS WHAT I SAY WITHOUT SEEING AND KNOWING IT IS FALSE.
Only force can makes truth hard to see:
The Buddha said the truth is not easily seen which means it is hard to see.
Only force obstructing the way, deflecting the way away from truth can make truth not easy to see.
THUS THAT THE BUDDHA SAID THE TRUTH ISN’T EASILY SEEN IMPLIES THAT BEINGS TRAPPED ESPECIALLY HERE BUT ALSO IN HEAVEN DO NOT SEE THE TRUTH AND ONLY FORCE IN A PERSON’S MIND CAN MAKE TRUTH HARD OR IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AND THIS MENTAL FORCE IS CONSTANTLY ACTIVE IN BEINGS IN THIS WORLD EITHER DIRECTLY AS THEIR AGGRESSIVENESS OR INDIRECTLY AS THEIR LIKING OR DISLIKING, SADNESS, HURT OR FEAR. THIS MENTAL FORCE IS CONSTANTLY BEING RENEWED BY THE BEINGS’ DYNAMO OF STYLE OR THEIR CONSTANT STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES AND UNITS OF MOTION, CHANGE OF SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE SUPPLYING THE ELECTRICITY TO POWER THEIR EMOTIONS, SADNESS, HURT AND FEAR.
WITH THE ATTENUATION AND FINAL EXTINGUISHING OF MENTAL FORCE, A BEING EASILY EFFORTLESSLY SEES AND KNOWS THE TRUTH.
JESUS SPOKE OF THOSE CHOSEN OUT OF THIS WORLD. IT IS THOSE WHO ARE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AND WHO FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHO ARE CHOSEN FROM THIS WORLD.
What it takes to go to heaven:
The man desiring life and pleasure is the man who wants eternal life in heaven. The Buddha has not been misquoted below and what he said below reflects how perfect you must be in order not to perish but to keep your life after you pass away.
You cannot pursue and undertake mindfulness immersed in your body well when you are not even aware you are constantly stretching your syllables, changing speed and loudness even when it is the source of your insoluble stress, restlessness, distraction, hurt, sadness and fear.
Do you want to have your head cut off? Then don’t spill even one drop of oil.
Sedaka Sutta : At Sedaka
(2: The Beauty Queen)
And suppose that the beauty queen is highly accomplished at singing & dancing, so that an even greater crowd comes thronging, saying, 'The beauty queen is singing! 'Then a man comes along, desiring life & desiring pleasure. They say to him, ' You must take this bowl filled to the brim with oil and carry it on your head in between the great crowd & the beauty queen. A man with a raised sword will follow, and if you spill even a drop, right there will he cut off your head.' Now what do you think, monks: Will that man, not paying attention to the bowl of oil, let himself get distracted outside?"
"No, lord."
"The bowl filled to the brim with oil stands for mindfulness immersed in the body. Thus you should train yourselves: 'We will develop mindfulness immersed in the body. We will pursue it, and undertake it well.' "
The simple things in life make you happy:
Quote: The simple things in life, it seems, really make you happy.
Comment: The person appears to lack conviction or cannot see it is so otherwise why would he qualify himself ‘it seems’ as if he is not sure.
It is not the simple or complicated or luxurious things in life that makes you happy because whatever pleasure derived from things is not everlasting and in emotional people stirs their mental forces to like. People who have not experienced neither like nor dislike may think liking is happiness but liking too is suffering because it stirs the mental force to become tired, stressed, restless, distracted, sad, hurt and fearful.
THUS THE STATEMENT THAT SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE MAKES YOU HAPPY IS FALSE AND MISLEADING, SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE ARE NOT A GENUINE REFUGE. ONLY WHEN YOUR HAPPINESS IS NOT DEPENDENT ON ANYTHING OR ANYONE BUT INTERNAL CALM AND CLARITY IS IT TRULY HAPPY.
HERE AGAIN PEOPLE THINK THEY SPEAK THE TRUTH OR HEAR THE TRUTH, SIMPLE THINGS MAKE YOU HAPPY BUT IT IS FALSE.
The ways with which people understand:
There are many different ways with which people understand things that are false, not due to genuine reason.
Understanding with force:
It is actually possible to understand with force.
If you watch some people who are not deaf, you have to shout to them often repeatedly, with great forceful prolonging, accelerating speed and loudness before they will understand or get it.
What you say to the person is a plan and you need to use great force that is in truth unnecessary to hammer the message into some people heads before they will get it (understand what you mean) or remember it.
You do not have to use any force to communicate with a person of genuine reason because his mind is composed and he registers and understands every word you say and the sum total of the meaning of all those words. He understands with reason what is said to him, knows it is true, false or nonsense as the case may be. In contrast the man who uses force to understand may finally get it and then he uses force to carry out what you said, not knowing whether what he understood with force is true, false or nonsense.
THE TRUTH MAY BE THAT STYLISH REHASHING ROBOTIC PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WITH FORCE, YOU AND THEY MUST RAM HOME INSTRUCTIONS OR MESSAGES INTO THEIR HEADS BEFORE THEY GET IT AND ONCE THEY GET IT, THEY WILL CARRY OUT WHAT IS RAMMED HOME WITH FORCE WITHOUT SEEING OR KNOWING WHETHER IT IS TRUE OR FALSE OR NONSENSE, BENEFICIAL OR HHARMFUL.
Faked understanding:
There is another form of understanding that is faked that may deceive stylish people that they possess genuine reason.
When something is said to them, they may not even hear it in its entirety but they only take snapshots and they do not truly understand what is said or what they took snapshots of but they match it to the library of explanations or understanding what things said mean or how things work and having found a suitable or plausible explanation in their mental library that may be flawed or even false or deluded, they satisfy themselves they have understood what you meant when you may realize the other person did not understand or did not get it and what he understood was not what you intended.
In this situation a person of genuine understanding pays full attention to whatever is said to him and he understands specifically what is said and thus specifically understanding he knows whether what is said is true, false or nonsense, harmful or beneficial.
Mistaking force for reason:
People who are stylish and emotional appreciate force changes and find force prolonging, changing speed, strength and direction meaningful and because they are able to appreciate force changes and they perceive force changes as meaningful, they perceive that they understand things.
For instance because they perceive the soft, hushed gentle way they speak as true and good, they perceive they understand what is good and bad, what is true and false when what they perceive as true and good is false and harmful to self and others.
WHEN PEOPLE ENJOY MUSIC, DANCING, RECITAL OF LITERATURE, SPORTS AND THEIR SENSES, THEY ARE ACTUALLY ENJOYING AND APPRECIATING OR FINDING MEANINGFUL THE REGULAR CYCLIC FORCE CHANGES IN THOSE ACTIVITIES AND BECAUSE THEY FIND THOSE FORCE CHANGES PLEASURABLE AND MEANINGFUL, THEY THINK THEY UNDERSTAND OR ARE APPRECIATIVE WHEN THEY ARE UNDERSTANDING FORCE AND FORCE CHANGES THAT ARE BLIND, WITHOUT MEANING OR NOT UNDERSTANDABLE APART FROM HARMING SELF AND OTHERS.
Mistaking programmed instructions for understanding:
Because they are programmable and once programmed they can initiate the programmed speech and actions that appear appropriate to the occasion (or at least others tell them it is so), they think they can reason when they are merely obeying instructions in their heads that actually require no understanding whether the programs and the actions or speech they programmed are true, false or nonsense.
For instance few if any work out that 6 times 6 is 36, they just memorize that it is 36 and because they know 6x6 is 36 they think they can reason or understand when they merely memorized it without need for understanding and reproduced it by rote.
Proof people do not understand:
In a matter as crucial as style (stretching syllables, changing speed and loudness) and how it leads to stress, restlessness, distraction, sadness and hurt in yourself and others that will turn malignant if you do not put a stop to it, if you cannot see yourself perpetrating it all the time and even after its pointed out to you, you nevertheless continue to practice style or forceful stretching of syllables, changing of speed and loudness, you have no true understanding not here or anywhere else.
Reflecting how deluded beings in this world are, even those who think they are intelligent, good and understand even tick me off instead of seeing the truth as it is that there is constant forceful stretching of syllables, changes of speed and loudness in their and everyone else’ speech and that is the only source of the stress, restlessness, distraction, sadness and hurt they must suffer from.
JUST AS THEY HAVE NO GENUINE UNDERSTANDING IN THIS MATTER OF STYLE THAT THEY CONSTANTLY PRACTICE, THEY HAVE NO GENUINE REASON OR UNDERSTANDING EVERHWHERE ELSE, EVEN IN THOSE WHO THINK THEY ARE GOOD AND UNDERSTANDING.
Style is evil and harmful:
Style or the constant use of force to stretch syllables and units of motion, change speed and loudness (strength of force) is evil because it harms self and others with stress, restlessness, distraction, sadness and hurt and stylish people, even those who think they are intelligent, good and understanding perceive it as necessary, good and meaningful. This is a fundamental delusion and perversion of perception and so long as you perceive style as captivating and meaningful so long must you suffer from stress, restlessness, distraction, sadness and hurt that will not remain the same but will get worse with age and will descend into madness.
IF THERE IS STYLE IN YOUR SPEECH OR DRAGGING, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS NO MATTER HOW SOFT OR SLOW YOU SPEAK AND YOU CANNOT SEE IT, YOU ARE BLIND; YOU SEE BUT DO NOT SEE, HEAR BUT DO NOT HEAR.
IF YOU CAN SEE YOURSELF STRETCHING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS AND YOU PERCEIVE IT AS CHARMING, PLEASURABLE AND MEANINGFUL THEN YOU ARE A PERVERT BECAUSE IT IS THE SOURCE OF STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT WILL END IN MADNESS.
Bullshit Islam From Bullshit Muslims:
These words are used by Raja Petra who like to style (not reason) himself as a man of great religiosity and truth not realizing that he is emotional and attacking (not disliking) by referring to others’ Islam as bullshit and their practitioners as bullshit muslims.
No man of truth and respect will use such attacking terms that stir emotion in others and so even as they tout themselves as champions of truth and goodness, they themselves are guilty of attacking or provoking others.
This is what the Buddha calls insulting speech and it is karma not merit to use insulting speech.
Truth has no speed and loudness changes:
Truth is just the truth and it never has prolonging, speed and loudness changes and so anyone who speaks with stretched syllables, changing speed and loudness cannot speak the truth except in his perversion that he does and rather than harmless or enhancing such force accompaniments fatally wounds any truth conveyed apart from fatally stressing, making restless, distracted, sad and hurt self and others.
As Jesus said, let your yes be yes only, anything more, using force to stretch syllables, change speed and loudness (apart from wasting great energy) comes from evil not good.
Badawi can speak sense:
I do not attack people or brand them. Here Badawi is displaying some rare genuine sense in calling for the stoppage of futures trading in oil.
Qantas has a need to be in the oil market but many traders have no business in the oil market and it is their wild greedy bidding that has pushed prices to preposterous levels. Apparently Qantas paid for supplies to be delivered at $70 and so it is not affected by current high prices but when its futures contract expires soon it will be exposed to the ravages of soaring prices if they persist.
PM: Stop oil futures trading to beat speculation woes (updated)
By IZATUN SHARI
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has proposed that the international community examine the possibility of suspending trading of oil in the futures market to prevent speculative bidding.
The Prime Minister said countries such as Japan had taken the lead in instituting certain bold measures.
"To prevent speculative bidding, Japan has suspended trading of rice in the futures market. It has also offered to sell rice from its stockpile at reduced prices," he said Tuesday in his keynote address at the 22nd Asia Pacific roundtable here.
"We should examine such steps for possible application to the oil market," he said, adding that it was an important contributor to the soaring prices of other commodities.
However, he said such measures would of course, require negotiation and agreement at international level.
Abdullah said the steep rise in food, oil and commodity prices required a global response.
"National and regional efforts are naturally limited. The international community must be prepared to consider bold and unprecedented measures."
He said the burden, which was now borne largely by the developing countries and the poor, could easily spill over into developed societies.
"Already, fishermen have blocked ports in Spain and France; truck drivers have angrily parked their vehicles along roads in Britain."
Abdullah said the ASEAN Food Security Reserve needed to be built up so that it could function effectively as envisaged in the 1979 agreement.
He said steps also needed to be taken to move the East Asia Emergency Rice Reserve beyond the pilot project stage.
"It must become a viable rice reserve scheme that has the full commitment of all participating countries."
He also pointed out that the Asia Pacific region, which has experienced many disasters, had no choice but to recognise human security among its greatest concerns.
"The socio-economic scene accentuates the grave importance of this aspect of security. Escalating food, fuel and commodity prices are placing enormous burdens, especially upon the poor.
"Inflation rates are among the highest in many countries. Real incomes are falling. The middle class has joined the ranks of those complaining."
He said rice, the staple food of Asians, rose 76% in five months from December last year to April this year and that overall, oil prices increased 40% in the first five months of the year while food prices rose 83% in the last three years.
"National budgets are straining under the weight of the mounting cost of subsidies. Analysts say prices have probably peaked. At some point they no doubt must. But in the mean time they remain very high."
He said Asia Pacific countries could bring about dramatic improvements in the security environment in the region by adopting the right approaches.
"We can also progress farther on the path pf stability if we continually reinforce the framework for cooperation in the region," he said, adding that some countries in the region had yet to ratify the ASEAN Charter.
He said the Charter was not just about human rights and democracy but also about economic development and security cooperation.
He appealed to all counties to look at the Charter in its totality and not reject it because they were unhappy with a few provisions or omissions.
"We do hope that the adoption of the Charter will equip and enable ASEAN to contribute more effectively towards the building of an ASEAN community of peace, prosperity and human development. Everything, however, will depend on implementation," he added.
The Economist speaks nonsense:
In a recent commentary, the respected Economist magazine appeared to justify the current high oil prices as due to burgeoning demand and pending shortages of supply and said one should not look for scapegoats.
This is wrong view because no matter how short the supply, how great the demand, the cost of production of oil is largely unchanged and any drastic price increase reflects opportunism and profiteering and rather than no scapegoats, there are culprits and it is the presence of not just of speculators but speculators magnifying their power with margin trading and the involvement of pension funds that have forced prices up to ridiculous levels.
I HAVE LONG CEASED TO LOOK TO THE ECONOMIST AS A FONT OF ECONOMIC TRUTH OR INSIGHT AND ONE WOULD BE WELL ADVISED NOT TO TAKE WHAT YOU READ THERE AS GOSPEL.
Paul Krugman was given credit for being prescient about the East Asian crisis but from what I recalled, he did not quite predict it, what he said was vaguely critical or in that direction, did not hit the nail in the head and he was given too much credit for economic insight.
If there are only two or three possibilities, anyone making a guess will get it right half the time and be a hero. By tossing a coin you can decide what to do and it may turn out right but not because you are wise but because you guessed right.
Trial and error as a source of truth:
People may seriously underestimate trial and error as a method of arrival at truth in which there is no true or genuine understanding.
For instance Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin by observing how bacteria on a Petri dish died in the proximity of fungus colonies producing penicillin.
Human flight is not unique but modelled on or copied from bird flight (wings and tail, lift). People did not set out to invent the combustion engine but they tinkered and finally got it right and refined it.
You could try many different ways at doing something and in the process stumble on the correct method of doing it, not because you reasoned it out or understood but by trial and error.
IT WOULD NOT BE A GREAT SURPRISE IF MANY OF MANKIND’S GREAT DISCOVERIES WERE BY TRIAL AND ERROR IMITATING MODELS EXISTING IN NATURE OR THE ANIMAL WORLD.
THUS YOU CAN ARRIVE BY TRIAL AND ERROR MAKING MISTAKES AT THE CORRECT WAY OF DOING SOMETHING WITHOUT TRULY UNDERSTANDING WHY YOU DO SO, WHY IT IS THE CORRECT OR TRUE WAY BUT YOU CAN CONGRATULATE YOURSELF FALSELY THAT YOU ARE SUCH A GENIUS.
The magical world of innocence:
The person who coined this is uttering nonsense and the fact that he said it must mean he finds it meaningful and that is false perception that will end in mad perception.
There is nothing magical or not magical about innocence and if you perceive so you have false perception.
When he speaks of ‘magical’ he is speaking of his mental force being stirred attractively that is all about force and meaningless and stressful.
How prescient was Krugman?
Quote Wikepedia: In 1994, noted economist Paul Krugman published an article attacking the idea of an "Asian economic miracle".[4] He argued that East Asia's economic growth had historically been the result of capital investment, leading to growth in productivity. However, total factor productivity had increased only marginally or not at all. Krugman argued that only growth in total factor productivity, and not capital investment, could lead to long-term prosperity. Krugman's views would be seen by many as prescient after the financial crisis had become full-blown.[neutrality disputed], though he himself stated that he had not predicted the crisis nor foreseen its depth.
Comment: Krugman himself, as stated above, said he had not predicted the crisis nor foreseen its depth, thus his acumen may be hyped.
It is said he attacked the Asian economic miracle and attributed it to capital investment, presumably he meant the pumping in of money led to the Asian economic miracle.
Without being an expert, I think the hardworking nature of East Asians who were willing to toil for long hours for low pay that made them competitive on the world markets, their ability to import technology or copy, the investments by multinationals lured by the pool of cheap hardworking labor were all important to the prodigious economic growth that characterized the Asian economic miracle and so it is not just a case of capital investment giving rise to economic growth as he disparagingly put it.
BECAUSE HE FELT THAT THE PRODIGIOUS OR IMPRESSIVE ASIAN ECONOMIC GROWTH OR EAST ASIAN ECONOMIC MIRACLE WAS DUE LARGELY IF NOT ENTIRELY TO THE PUMPING IN OF CAPITAL, HE FELT IT WAS NOT SUSTAINABLE AND TO BE POOH POOHED AND BY EXTENSION WILL COLLAPSE IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS A SIMPLISTIC THEORY AND MAY NOT BE TRUE IN REALITY.
Not an Asian Economic Miracle But Still Remarkable Expansion:
Whilst I would not describe the rapid growth of the East Asian economies including China as an economic miracle because there was no miracle what factors that contributed to it may be known by God if not by you or Krugman and it may not be solely or mostly an injection of capital where there was none before but there were other crucial factors like the hardworking money minded culture, willingness to work for little money, lack of bureaucratic red tape (can do culture), reasonable intelligence to enable Asians to copy others, the existence of America that was sucking in imports more than it can afford because it was printing money more than it should to a world that was only too willing to foolishly accept.
THUS FOR KRUGMAN TO DISMISS THE ASIAN ECONOMIC MIRACLE, ALTHOUGH NO MIRACLE TO BE DUE TO CAPITAL INVESTMENT MAY BE INACCURATE OR FALSE, REFLECTS PREJUDICE AND HE MAY NOT BE PRESCIENT AS TOUTED.
What Krugman actually said:
Krugman did not predict the East Asian Crisis; he merely downplayed the East Asian Miracle as due solely to a narrow capital investment without an increase in total factor productivity whatever that might mean that was necessary for it to be sustainable or be a ‘true’ miracle.
What distinguished Krugman:
In the 1990s economists were probably all jumping on the bandwagon to sing the praises of the Asian economic miracle and Krugman was probably one of the exceptions who was probably right for the wrong reasons.
It is actually ridiculous to attribute the East Asian ‘miracle’ to a single factor, ‘capital injection’, surely there must be more to it.
One factor may be the Chinese diaspora in Asia. Just as the Jews wield considerable financial clout in America, the existence of the Chinese diaspora in Asia may be partly responsible for the economic ‘miracle’.
Another factor that people may discount is the consciousness changes that swept around the world changing everyone. Consciousness constraints are like shackles that restrict the minds of those it is present in and the release of the shackles in recent decades liberated people’s minds so as to express unfettered their greed driven economic development.
WITHOUT THE CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGES PEOPLE LIKE DR M MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AS ‘VIRULENT’ AS HE WAS AND SO THE CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGES MAY HAVE CATALYZED THE SURGE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN ASIA.
Why America is worse than Asia:
If you accuse the Asian economical miracle as being narrowly based on capital investment then the same thing on a greater scale can be said of America and on top of that the American boom is based on consumption that is way in excess of Asian consumption plus America acts as a parasite on the world economic system.
How is this so?
America’s economic boom in recent years too is due to excessive unwarranted investment in the stock market, the internet stock bubble and then the property market on a scale that not only rivals but may even exceed the Asian model.
On top of that America’s consumption is more profligate to an outrageous level far greater than Asian consumption and this is an important drive to America’s economic boom. This consumption boom stimulating the American economy may be partly financed by the world who are happy to keep exporting goods for America’s consumption to receive intrinsically worthless pieces of paper called the American dollar that it does not cash out but keep in American investments.
In a sense America is having a free lunch at the expense of a foolish world and it is this free lunch that boosts the American economy more than it otherwise would be. America pays for its goods with currency it prints and so it can print as much as it likes to finance its global purchases so long as the world is happy to keep accepting and keeping USD.
In addition, because the American dollar is a reserve currency, many in the world convert their assets into USD boosting American wealth and the economy. It is said that US$600 billion of physical dollars are in circulation in the world outside the US and this is a permanent interest free loan to the US. Should your dollar be destroyed eg by fire or flood, then America has discharged its obligation to you, it has forfeited your monetary claim on the US government.
The combination of this huge amount of USD in circulation and people keeping their wealth in USD has the effect of boosting the US economy that is not available to other nations and may explain the US economic might more than its actual merit.
AMERICA’S ECONOMY TOO IS FUELED BY CAPITAL INVESTMENTS IN SHARES AND PROPERTIES THAT ARE UNSUSTAINABLE AND A BUBBLE.
AMERICA’S ECONOMY IS BOOSTED BY CONSUMPTION THAT IS FAR MORE PROFLIGATE THAN ASIAN COUNTRIES.
AMERICA PAY FOR ITS FOREIGN GOODS WITH CURRENCY IT PRINTS AND BECAUSE THE WORLD THINK TOO HIGHLY OF IT, AMERICA GOT AWAY WITH CONSUMING GOODS THAT IT IN TRUTH COULD NOT AFFORD IF IT HAD TO CONVERT TO A WORLD CURRENCY TO FINANCE ITS PURCHASES.
AMERICA GETS ADDITIONAL WINDFALL IN US$600 BILLION DOLLARS CIRCULATING OUTSIDE AMERICA AND SIZEABLE FOREIGN WEALTH CONVERTED INTO USD FOR SAFEKEEPING.
THUS AMERICA IS NOT ONLY GUILTY OF THE SAME AS ASIA BUT FAR WORSE.
AMERICA WAGGED ITS FINGER ACCUSING ASIAN BANKERS FOR LAX OR INCOMPETENT RECKLESS LENDING AND CRONY CAPITALISM FOR THE 1997 ECONOMIC CRISIS BUT ITS HIGHLY RESPECTED MORE ‘PROFESSIONAL’ OR SOPHISTICATED BANKS HAVE NOW BEEN EXPOSED AS WORSE IN THE UNFOLDING CREDIT CRISIS ENGULFING THE WORLD.
Emotional people, as Krugman manifestly is, from the way he writes and looks, is driven by emotion not guided by genuine reason (but programmed reason that are proxies of emotion), base their actions on like and dislike and then find rationalizations or excuses to back up their like or dislike. Where everyone was singing the praises of the Asian economic miracle, it is not surprising that he would dislike by it and based on the dislike that is based on reasons best known to himself, he rationalize that it is not a miracle but based merely on capital injection.
It is not just economical factors that impact on an economy, physical and even spiritual factors play a part. For instance if Australia become seized by a protracted drought, its economy will be impacted. And so it is that though unrecognized, the consciousness change that liberated people’s consciousness may have played a far more important part in explaining the Asian economic miracle than a merely capital injection and Krugman is deluded to perceive that is the case.
If America did not print the intrinsically worthless pieces of paper with which it purchases goods from the world, its economy would have run of steam much earlier. If America had to pay for its purchases with gold it would have run out of gold long ago because it earns much less gold then it spends but because America pays with pieces of paper it prints and the world foolishly values it, it was having a free lunch at the world’s expense and that is graver sin than just capital injection.
America is widely perceived as the top dog in this world and the top dog in this world of goats is likely to be the greatest abuser, the conductor of evil in this world calculated to maintain its status of dominance and therefore it is likely America is not just as bad but worse than Asia if Krugman were to disparage Asia.
Would you teach a robot?
Would you agree it is absurd or fruitless trying to talk to a robot to explain or teach it things and try to change its behaviour?
In the same way, it would be fruitless trying to talk to stylish emotional people who are in truth human robots to teach them things. What you need if you want to ‘teach’ a robot or change its behaviour is to open it or access its central processor and reprogram it then it will alter its behaviour in conformity with what you instructed it.
A COMPUTER OR ROBOT DOES NOT TRULY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS EXPLAINED OR SPOKEN TO IT, IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE ITS BEHAVIOR YOU DO NOT TALK TO IT BUT YOU REPROGRAM IT AND SUBSEQUENTLY IT IS CHANGED IN ITS BEHAVIOR BUT STILL VERY MUCH A ROBOT AS IT FORMERLY WAS.
THUS IN ORDER TO CHANGE HUMAN ROBOTS YOU HAVE TO USE FORCE AND REPETITION TO COERCE IT TO CHANGE ACCORDING TO A PLAN BUT SUBSEQUENTLY HIS BEHAVIOR IS CHANGED BUT HE IS JUST AS MUCH A ROBOT AS HE FORMERLY WAS.
IT IS MUCH DIFFICULT TO CONVERT A PERSON WHO IS A ROBOT TO A TRULY REASONING AND UNDERSTANDING PERSON WHO PERFORMS SPECIFICALLY FOR EACH OCCASION AND NOT BY REHASHING STANDARDIZED FROM MEMORY.
THERE IS NO USE TEACHING STYLISH EMOTIONAL PEOPLE WHO ARE ROBOTS WITH FIXED VIEWS AND WAYS OF DOING AND SAYING THINGS, IT WILL FALL ON DEAF EARS. WHAT YOU NEED TO CHANGE THEM IS TO USE FORCE TO REPROGRAM ACCORDING TO A NEW PLAN BUT AFTERWARDS HE IS JUST AS MUCH A ROBOT AS HE WAS BEFORE YOU CHANGED HIM ROBOTICALLY.
Banks are still in desperate trouble:
The acute phase may not be averted and according to what I read somewhere, insiders in the financial markets know that banks are still in deep trouble and should more problems arise eg credit card defaults, even a commodity, particularly oil market crash due to speculators being unable to fulfil margin obligations, the world can be plunged into a greater financial crisis.
Lehman denies liquidity problems
| Lehman Brothers' shares closed at their lowest level for almost five years. |
Lehman Brothers, one of America's largest investment banks, has denied rumours it is facing funding problems.
The firm said it had not borrowed money from the US Federal Reserve on Tuesday and had liquidity of "well above" $40bn (£20.4bn).
The denials, however, failed to reassure the market, as Lehman Brothers' shares closed down 10%.
There was also speculation the bank would have to raise up to $4bn in additional capital from investors.
In March, Lehman Brothers raised $3bn from shareholders to bolster its balance sheet.
At that time, it had to counter reports it was suffering from similar problems to Bear Stearns which collapsed after confidence in the bank failed and clients withdrew funds.
"We did not access the primary broker-dealer facility," said Lehman Brothers Treasurer Paolo Tonucci, speaking about a US Federal Reserve lending facility available on Tuesday.
"The last time we accessed the facility was on 16 April for testing purposes. We ended the first quarter with liquidity of $34 billion and finished the second quarter with well over $40 billion," he said.
Bird flu can devastate an economy:
It is not just economic factors that exert influences on an economy but other factors may play an even greater part.
Because economists have one track mind (a characteristic of robots), they fail to recognize that significant non economic factors like a devastating bird flu, a super volcano eruption leading to a nuclear winter global crop failure or an unprecedented consciousness change may exert more economic impact than mere capital investment.
A styled speaking the truth:
Because there is a style or how in whatever people perceive (see, hear, smell, taste, touch), think or reason, speak or do, whenever they speak the truth which is less often than they perceive, they speak a styled truth. When they reason the truth, they reason with style to come at best to a styled truth, never the pure truth.
AND SO IT IS THAT BECAUSE THEY PERCEIVE THEY ARE CAPABLE OF PERCEIVING, REASONING AND SPEAKING A STYLED TRUTH THAT IS ESSENTIALLY AN ADDITION OF HARMFUL FORCE PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH TO THEIR PERCEIVED, REASONED OR SPOKEN TRUTH THEY THINK THEY ARE CAPABLE OF GENUINE TRUTH. WHEN YOU ADMIT YOU DID SOMETHING BAD WITH A SMILE, YOUR SMILE IS YOUR STYLE THAT CORRUPTS THE TRUTH BECAUSE IT IS AS IF IT WAS FUNNY OR PLEASURABLE YOU COMMITTED THE MISDEED AND THAT IS NOT THE TRUTH.
THE ADDITON OF STYLE OR FORCE PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH TO WHATEVER TRUTH THAT IS PERCEIVED, REASONED, SPOKEN IS NOT HARMLESS LET ALONE CHARMING OR ENHANCING BUT IT FATALLY CORRUPTS THE TRUTH BECAUSE THE ADDITION OF FORCE CREATES STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, DISTRACTION, SADNESS AND HURT IN YOURSELF AND THE RECIPIENT OF YOUR ‘TRUTH’.
WHEN YOU PERCEIVE, UNDERSTAND AND SPEAK A STYLED TRUTH:
WHENEVER A PERSON PERCEIVES A STYLED TRUTH, HE PERCEIVES A TRUTH THAT HAS FORCE PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE THAT IS NOT HARMLESS OR AN ENHANCEMENT BUT A FATAL HARMFUL CORRUPTION WITH FORCE OF THAT TRUTH.
WHENEVER A PERSON UNDERSTANDS A TRUTH WITH STYLE, HE UNDERSTANDS THAT TRUTH WITH ACCOMPANYING FORCE PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE AND THAT IS A FATAL CORRUPTION OF THAT UNDERSTANDING.
WHENEVER A PERSON SPEAKS A STYLED TRUTH, HE SPEAKS THAT TRUTH WITH FORCE PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT IS NOT AN ENHANCING BUT A FATAL, STRESSFUL CORRUPTION OF THAT TRUTH.
A pre-recorded styled truth:
Because the stereotyped or consistent substance and style speech or reasoning or perceiving cannot be rendered live but must be memorized to be rehashed, whenever a person speaks the styled truth, he is not speaking it live but based on a recording in his jukebox and that is nonspecific but a generalized tailored for many occasions truth.
Whenever a person reason with style a truth, he is reasoning with a style that is not live specific to that occasion but based on memory or rehashed.
Whenever a person perceives with style a truth, he is perceiving that truth with a style that is not live, specific for that occasion but pre-recorded to be reactivated.
SO NOT ONLY IS A STYLED PERCEPTION, UNDERSTANDING OR REASONING AND SPEAKING A TRUTH A FATAL CORRUPTION OF THE TRUTH RATHER THAN HARMLESS OR AN ENHANCEMENT, THAT STYLED TRUTH IS PRE-RECORDED AND REHASHED AND THEREFORE NOT SINCERE, NOT SPECIFICALLY OR PERSONALLY FOR THAT OCCASION.
NOT ONLY IS SPOKEN, UNDERSTOOD AND PERCEIVED TRUTH THAT HAS STYLE FALSE, IT IS IMPERSONALLY PRE-RECORDED AND REHASHED.
Because everything with a consistent style can only be produced based on memory, if you perceive the truth with style you must perceive it with a memorized style or you are a robot of perception, if you understand truth with a style you must understand with a pre-recorded style and if you speak truth with style you must speak it with a pre-recorded impersonally rehashed style.
You do not need style to perceive truth:
You do not need to stare at something with prolongation of your gaze accompanied by an acceleration of speed and strength of force that constitute the style of your seeing, all you need is turn your eyes to that object and see.
Yet stylish people never just see without force, they stare or see with added force prolonging, changing speed and strength.
Not only is it totally unnecessary to use force to see anything, it is harmful to self and intimidates and makes restless the target of your stare. Because it is unnecessary to stare or use force you are practicing controlled madness in the name of greed or to intimidate others that will descend with loss of control to mad staring.
IN THE SAME WAY YOU DO NOT NEED STYLE TO SPEAK OR REASON OR UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH BUT ALL STYLISH PEOPLE USE FORCE PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS TO UNDERSTAND AND SPEAK THE TRUTH AND THAT IS CONTROLLED MADNESS THAT FATALLY DETRACTS FROM THE TRUTH THEY WANT TO UNDERSTAND OR SPEAK.
Seeing with style you cannot see the truth:
Seeing with style (forceful prolonging, changing speed and strength) you cannot see the truth no matter how long you stare or see with force and you are facing future certain madness.
Reasoning with style or force, you cannot reason the truth no matter how hard you try because the force in your style is an insurmountable barricade to reasoning the truth.
Understanding with style or the application of force you cannot understand the truth.
Speaking with style or force, you cannot speak the truth because the added unnecessary force in your truth persecutes yourself and others and it is no longer the passive force free truth.
Why the truth is not easy to see:
The Buddha said that truth is the highest of tastes or savours and it is not easy to see the truth.
The reason is because ordinary people always automatically see, hear, smell, taste and touch with added force and this added force is fatal, inimical to perceiving the truth, it is impossible for them to see the truth unless they abolish the added force which they cannot even see is present in their perception let alone abolish.
Blindness leads to delusions:
AS A RESULT OF PERCEIVING (SEEING, HEARING, SMELLING, TASTING AND TOUCHING) WITH FORCE STYLISH PEOPLE CANNOT PERCEIVE THE TRUTH. AS A RESULT OF NOT PERCEIVING THE TRUTH STYLISH PEOPLE BLINDLY FORCE THEMSELVES OR ARE FORCED BY OTHERS TO EMBRACE INCREASING NUMBERS WITH INCREASING INTENSITY OF FORCE FALSE BELIEFS (DELUSIONS) AND THEY BECOME INCREASINGLY DELUDED AS THEY AGE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DESTROY DELUSIONS WITH FORCE BUT DELUSIONS ARE LIKE BALLOONS INFLATED WITH FORCE AND THE ONLY WAY TO DEFLATE DELUSIONS IS TO DEPRIVE THEM OF FORCE, SOMETHING STYLISH PEOPLE WILL NEVER DO.
Speculators make money when oil prices rise above their purchase prices and it is the oil producers that profit the most because they are pocketing the permanent difference between current high price and previous lower prices. Thus as a result of devious speculators that now include institutions or pension funds, everyone has to pay more for oil and the oil producers ‘laugh’ all the way to the bank everyday.
Soros attacks 'craze-following' institutions for inflating oil prices
By Stephen Foley in New York
Wednesday, 4 June 2008
George Soros, the billionaire financier, has rounded on institutional investors who have been ploughing money into oil, saying they are following a "craze" that is inflating a commodities bubble and harming the global economy.
And he predicted that the rise of index funds that allow retail investors to bet on the oil price could lead to a crash that destabilises more than just the commodities markets.
Mr Soros was called to give evidence on Capitol Hill as US lawmakers investigated whether "speculators" were manipulating or otherwise influencing the price of oil, which has doubled and doubled again in the past five years. A 25 per cent spike since the start of the year has sent petrol above $4 a gallon in many US states and sent the issue to the top of the political agenda.
Members of the Senate commerce committee sought Mr Soros's views due to his reputation as one of the most successful speculators of his generation. Last year, he was one of three hedge fund managers to take home more than $2.8bn after betting on the mortgage market collapse, and in the UK he has been known since Black Wednesday in 1992 as "the man who broke the Bank of England", winning $1bn on bets that the pound would be forced out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.
While his views on the oil market were not as apocalyptic as his recent remarks that the US faces its worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, he had little doubt that speculative buying is contributing to the rise in oil prices. Where the oil market was once driven by buyers and sellers of the real-world commodity, oil has since become an asset class into which institutional investors such as pension funds and retail investors can allocate some of their money.
"Both trend-following speculation and institutional commodity-index buying reinforce the upward pressure on prices," he said. "I find commodity-index buying eerily reminiscent of a similar craze for portfolio insurance which led to the stock market crash of 1987. In both cases, the institutions are piling in on one side of the market and they have sufficient weight to unbalance it. If the trend were reversed and the institutions as a group headed for the exit as they did in 1987, there would be a crash."
However, Mr Soros did say that real-world factors were also contributing to the rise in oil prices, which could go even higher. Supply has been constrained because it is costly to replace the output from mature oilfields and due to a lack of investment by foreign governments who are cashing in on high oil prices, he said. Demand is accelerating because emerging-market governments such as China subsidise energy prices, insulating their populations from rising costs, while energy use in the West will not fall until there is a full-blown recession.
"While focusing on speculative excesses, we should not lose sight of these underlying issues," he said.
The oil price continued its slow retreat yesterday from the $135 a barrel at which it peaked two weeks ago. Light sweet crude for July delivery closed down $3.45 at $124.31 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, had earlier declared that the US central bank was "attentive" to the weakness of the dollar, suggesting that it may not allow the currency to depreciate sharply. The weakness of the US dollar is one of the factors that has pushed dollar-denominated oil prices higher.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is investigating whether speculative buying is influencing oil prices, and whether outright market manipulation is taking place. Last week, it signed an agreement with the UK's Financial Services Authority to share information about trading on electronic exchanges based in London.
Force is blind and blinds:
Force is blind and seizes whatever it is set upon to blind it.
Thus if you use force to perceive, in particular to see you are using what is harmful and blind to see and you will be seized and blinded.
And how does a person use force to see?
A person uses unnecessary force to see if he sees with style, he sees with forceful prolonging of gaze, forceful acceleration and deceleration of speed and strength of force.
BECAUSE FORCE IS BLIND & SEIZES ANYTHING IT IS SET UPON AND BLINDS IT, THE MIND THAT IS CONSTANTLY USING EXCESSIVE UNNECESSARY FORCE TO FABRICATE STYLE IN PERCEIVING, THINKING, SAYING AND DOING IS SEIZED AND BLINDED BY FORCE AND UNABLE TO SEE THE TRUTH WHICH IS WHY THE TRUTH IS NOT EASILY SEEN (BY PEOPLE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF FORCE). UNTIL THEIR MINDS ARE LIBERATED FROM THE CRUTCHES OF FORCE, THEY CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH.
Song & dance and dubious honour:
Quote: IF there was an award for the area with the most number of stalled housing projects in Selangor, Puchong would easily win the dubious honor.
A person who wants to jazz things up or make a song and dance of something will talk of awards when there is no necessity to bring awards into the picture. Just say “Puchong is one of the worst if not worst area affected by stalled housing projects”. If the honor is dubious why stir conflict to refer to it as an honor? Why use win that implies profit, can you win something that is a loss or bad?
If you did not unnecessarily talk about giving award, you will not have to talk about winning and an honor that is dubious. Just say Puchong is one of the worst or worst affected areas.
He is courting future madness making a song and dance of it and it is not letting your yes be yes only that comes from evil. He is also being sarcastic or mocking, he thinks in a friendly way, something that is totally unnecessarily.
The Absurdity of indexing:
Indices (a basket of stocks or commodities with weighting for each stock) of stocks and commodities are being created by so called experts like S&P, Morgan Stanley to optimize investing for investors and funds to track or compare their performance with.
The bodies that create indices are not without vested interests because component shares or commodities can be added or removed from the indices forcing those who track to buy or dump those components added or removed with avenue for insider trading by those who know the changes beforehand. Also they may possibly be bribed to keep or remove components.
Thus these ‘respected’ bodies like S&P, Morgan Stanley keep creating new commodities for investors to track and these investors become like robots who just follow the index or the weighting of individual stocks or commodities in that index.
And so it is that pension funds now follow these indices and become involved in speculating in the commodity markets.
THERE ARE ALLEGATIONS THAT IT IS THE ENTRY OF PENSION FUNDS INTO THE COMMODITY MARKETS VIA INDEXING THAT IS CAUSING THE RECENT SURGE IN OIL PRICES THAT MAY BE UNSUSTAINABLE BECAUSE IT IS CRAZY AND ITS COLLAPSE MAY HURT THE SPECULATING OR GAMBLING PENSION FUNDS.
Shortages are always an excuse not reason for price rises:
Unless the cost of production for a commodity eg oil has risen significantly there is no reason to raise the oil price and to cite shortages or increased demand as the cause is an excuse to profiteer. It reflects the advanced false perception of people even in the highest echelons of society when they see nothing wrong, they think shortages are the reason for price rises that are blameless.
It is speculators who are responsible for causing prices to rise without cost rises be it property or oil. Speculators profit from price rises and their rationale is to buy into a commodity they suspect will rise in price in the future, hold it until it rises so that they can reap a profit. As soon as prices stabilize at the higher level, their avenue for profit, price rises is closed. It is the producers, eg oil producers who reap the permanent rise in oil prices which is pure extra profit for them.
The worst is yet to come:
Willem Sels, a credit analyst at Dresdner Kleinwort, said the banks are beginning to face waves of defaults on credit cards, car loans, and now corporate loans. "We believe we're entering Phase II. The liquidity crisis has eased a little, but the real credit losses are accelerating. The worst is yet to come," he said.
The jump in corporate bankruptcies has not yet been picked up by the usual indicators, which tend to lag the market, lulling investors into a false sense of security. The true losses are already known to specialists in the business, said Mr Sels.
Tapping into the subtle energies:
If energy is just energy, there is no subtle or not subtle energy you are practicing false perception that will end in mad perception.
If you cannot see subtlety you should not pretend you can. What the person said is not without intention but because he wants to be a guru offering false remedies to people’s maladies he is touting subtle energies as a cure.
