Most of the traditional religions are to some extent 'made up' by the authors of their sacred texts. In the Judaeo-Christian tradition we might begin with Moses, the theological and political genius who invented the divine right of kings.

So the principal marketing angle for natural religion is that it is already here, if we could but see it, and it is what has made us what we are, and by understanding how we came to be we can be so much better just as by understanding thermodynamics we have gradually increased the efficiency of our engines.

Let us say that sex is frequently the potential that provides the action necessary to iron out all the difficulties in a relationship. Sex is a subset of love, and we take it as an axiom that (sufficient) love (eventually) conquers all. So one enters a relationship without a clue about how all the details are going to work themselves out but take each event as it

[page 43]

comes with a will to solve all the problems it presents. As in my old mini, I never was able to undo the nut at the end of the crankshaft because overcoming the difficulty did not seem to be worth the cost.

On the one hand I feel that natural religion is ready for publication and promotion, but on the other hand I feel very lethargic about it, like the early stages of pregnancy, just happy and relaxed because the baby is on the way.

When the love goes, maintenance stops and the system slowly disintegrates to the point where it no longer functions.

The job is to make the world aware of natural theology and natural religion.

The purpose of regulators (controllers) is to detect and correct errors in the system. To do this they need a formal model of the system to compare to reality in order to see where the discrepancies are.

LOVE ==> GOODWILL ==> GOOD SUCCESS

The purpose of science is to make ourselves aware of how things actually work so we can predict their behaviour.

How the world works : it is a computer network whose stationary points are Cantor, Gödel, Turing and Shannon.

Growing into a role, either trained in a school or growing freely (Aristotle would say naturally as opposed to artificially). But every nature is an artifice of the divinity, ie the whole system acting at all distances from the immediately local to the ends of the Universe with ever decreasing probability.

PROBABILITY is a purely formal MEASURE. Kolmogorov

Blinded by the light; grounded by the reality.

Global Financial Crisis = freezing the dynamics of value.

Failure of the money circuit, money being the physical symbol for a large class of value.

Natural religion is the implementation of the principle pf conservation of value as measured by money [?]

Academic economists, like academic theologians, are totally on the wrong track with total faith in deregulation, ie destroying the stationary points in the systems.

The error in theology is the error at the root of the whole system from which the current evident global corruption has emanated. The problem in the financial system is unregulated, beyond feral, pursuit of wealth at any cost.

Our basis of hope is that it took very pervasive criminal mismanagement to bring it [GFC] about, to that all we have to do is prevent such mismanagement and global financial crises will be avoided. Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission

Financial engineers build dreams.

Kolmogorov, A N , and Nathan Morrison (Translator) (With an added bibliography by A T Bharucha-Reid), Foundations of the Theory of Probability, Chelsea 1956 Preface: 'The purpose of this monograph is to give an axiomatic foundation for the theory of probability. ... This task would have been a rather hopeless one before the introduction of Lebesgue's theories of measure and integration. However, after Lebesgue's publication of his investigations, the analogies between measure of a set and mathematical expectation of a random variable became apparent. These analogies allowed of further extensions; thus, for example, various properties of independent random variables were seen to be incomplete analogy with the corresponding properties of orthogonal functions ...

Inside Job (film) - Wikipedia Inside Job (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 'Inside Job (2010) is a documentary film about the late-2000s financial crisis directed by Charles H. Ferguson. The film is described by Ferguson as being about "the systemic corruption of the United States by the financial services industry and the consequences of that systemic corruption."[3] In five parts, the film explores how changes in the policy environment and banking practices helped create the financial crisis. Inside Job was well received by film critics who praised its pacing, research, and exposition of complex material. The film was screened at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival in May and won the 2010 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.' back
