God's Offer of Freedom

Gods Offer of Freedom

I do not want your obedience. I want your autonomy. If you choose obedience then I cannot help you and you're on your own"

This is saying, God has given us the freedom to choose how we conduct our lives. But instead the majority of people choose obedience. 

This is the primary sin - to choose obedience over autonomy. All other sins are relatively small derivatives. And if you keep committing it, all the rest are inevitable anyway. This primary sin is the robber who takes all that is left.

This is not to say God is angry with us. It is to say he washes his hands. For there is nothing he can do if he gave us the freedom to make that choice. He will just move on to the next planet in the hope of finding a wiser great masse of people.

"It's no use me giving you your freedom and then following that up with a set up rules you must follow to get into heaven. 

You either choose freedom or commit a terrible self induced mistake. You may well say that God never owned the freedom to give away in the first place, I hear you. But this presupposes that God is outside of you". I Am. 

As you know I have no religion. But I'm acutely aware of what these stories, like the story of God, are intended for in the context of the great masse of people. Stories or other tools which convey meaning well, give the individual immediate visibility into the psyche of the universe - call this visibility a singularity

The value in these stories is that you do not need a guru, teacher, to practice it or education to gain access to them. You see it immediately in an instant, or you do not. Time and education are are problem because they give you time to escape from seeing it. 

If you choose freedom, you will see the singularity instantly. If you choose obedience, you will not see it, ever. This is God's Offer of Freedom.

This rumour about God is important in every society as a semiotic story about something important pointing toward meaning which we can all unite around. It is not ideal, but is better than the available alternative.

You know I'm not a fan of stories. But society needs a strong story it can get behind and rely on to carry it through.

It is this kind of story, and its use, which modern political actors are trying to crush.

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...
