It Cannot Be Taught

I've a friend who says my blogs are good. Except they need to be dressed up a bit and so on. So that more people will read them.

I say "I cannot teach people about anything important. They have to want to know". And if someone really wants to know, they will immediately go and find out. Without needing outside help.

For all other situations I will only be believing what someone else has told me to believe. It won't be knowing anything. It will be an appeal to beliefs and the masses fallacy.

So, if I really want to know, I will always find the answer. I have to really want to 'knock on the door' in myself with no outside persuasion or force. If I really want to know.

There is no one in the world who can teach me this. I have to want to know. In myself. No one can force me to do it either. Even under threat of death I can only know if I freely choose to look for it without outside help or force.

Others might say that if I am taught about things there's more chance I will start to know. This is just a more intense form of the same kind of mistake. The fallacy of making an appeal to authority.

Imagine I have a thousand ideas defining the same thing arrayed in front of me to choose from. All have been 'taught' to me. The choice I make from them is still not due to the excellence of the idea in itself or the vast number there are to choose from. That is known as the bandwagon fallacy or making an appeal to the masses. I will make my choice inspite of all that.

I'll talk about what that choice really is another time. It's enough to start thinking about how we never make choices about important things by observing the material world and what is taught.

People eventually ask me what's the point of posting blogs then if you cannot help other people to learn about your ideas? This question signals a continued lack of understanding. It's simple - I do it purely for me and my own development. And that I do not have the power to teach others about anything important. And knowing that is one of the first and best forms of knowledge. Which I taught myself.

All I can know about anything important is a matter of personal discovery. It cannot be taught.

As soon as I start believing I can teach people about anything important, my ego is now powering my actions in the material world. And we all know very well immediately where that goes.

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states. Being English the main focus is for the country of England to accede. The original intent was to ask the government to lead on it through a petition leading to the question coming before the House of Commons. This was crushed out of hand by the committee leading petitions, which was not a surprise. Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or England were to leave the Unit...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses. It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...

Government & Tax Death Toll

I'm going to show you how government and taxation causes more excess death than any other factor, even global wars and pandemics. It is and always has been the biggest genocide of all. And its deliberate. Government doesn’t just fail to save lives — it takes them, at scale. 2–6 million globally 200K–400K in the U.S. 50K–80K in the UK Every year. Every tax. Every regulation. Cumulatively since 1970 government and tax killed between 160 and 300 million people across the globe More than all 20th century wars and genocides combined (260M) In the U.S. ten times more than all U.S. combat deaths in history (10 * 1.2M) In the UK equivalent to 1 in 15 of all deaths And the nations with more regulations and a higher tax to GDP ratio such as the UK and US, tend to kill more of their own citizens per capita. The poorest nations have a better record than the richest. All this excess death is rooted in the institutions of taxation - the theft of private property, by force, against your fr...
