Sorry about Bastin and Kilmister, does not add much to our understanding of the world, being pure formalism with very little coupling to action and events, but will read it again one day [back to Noyes, who is more of a physicist].
Masha Gessen Gessen: The Future is History
Gessen page 3: 'The Soviet regime robbed people not only of their ability to live freely but also of the ability to understand what had been taken from them and how. The regime aimed to annihilate personal and social memory and the academic study of society. Its concerted war on the social sciences left Western academics in a better position to interpret Russia than were Russians themselves—but as outsiders with restricted access to information, they could hardly fill the void. Much more than a problem of scholarship this was
[page 27]
an attack on the humanity of Russian society which lost the tools and even the language to understand itself.
page 60: Levada: 'By its very design the great 'socialist' state is totalitarian, because it does not leave the individual any independent space.'

Combatting fake news; on making the milieu divine literally true. The big hurdle is the problem of evil, and most of the evil is to be found in the noosphere. 'Natural' events like disease, disaster, hunger etc etc can be radially reduced if we [collectively] understand them correctly and act accordingly. Bregman Bregman: Utopia for Realists

Freedom is not having to do things until you are ready,
We want the true god to invade the noosphere and drive out all fake news. Insofar as lies are the currency of politics (cf Stalin and Trump) the system is destined to die from lack of conformity to reality.
Fake news that leads to action is dangerous and detrimental to the system. We separate the good news from the fake news by trial, by a competitive process that separates truth from falsehood [using]] some variant of the scientific method which compares the news to reality to see of it is a fair representation of what actually happened.
[page 28]
Jesus’ mission, everybody’s mission, is to eradicate false news, but ths cannot happen until people no longer benefit from false news (a variety of fake news). The world is brought down by those who do not recognise reality or reasons ranging from ignorance to profit.

Various quirks of fate (ie events or breaks of symmetry) led me to the Order of Preachers. Further events led to my ejection five years later but I carried a treasure: a thorough indoctrination in the Scholastic frame of mind that formed the intellectual backbone of the Roman Catholic Church, and the conviction that this frame of mind is false insofar as it differs from the reality of the creatures that we are. In my own ad hoc way I have devoted the time since I left the Order to revision the Catholic point of view and this site is [a record of that process].
Although this site would like to see itself as scientific, it is a work of fiction, as are all scientific hypotheses. It now awaits some degree of verification, which I hope to achieve by finding a supervisor to show me how to assemble my convictions into a PhD thesis. This will require a certain amount of preaching, ie publicly exposing my views with the idea of attracting adherents. Why do we preach? I could not preach the Catholic history of salvation, so the Order rightly selected me out.
Reworking scientific_theology and it seems not too bad. Another way forward is not to try to write a PhD in the academic world but to publish in the wider world. It would be economically rational to invest more
[page 29]
in the book than the D. The purpose of the doctorate is in effect to authenticate the book by meeting people in the same line of thought [who like my idea].
Publishing the book might speed up the search and also bring an income. This course requires publicity, ie preaching which does not appeal to me much.

I have chosen to call this book theology in memory of Aristotle who developed the model of god still current n the Roman Catholic Church. Aristotle’s book on theology is now called Metaphysics, a word and a title which Aristotle never uses anywhere in his extant writings.
Nesrine MalikUnfortunately theology is a very political science. It is the only science that has not escaped political control since Galileo changed the meaning of science from logical games to fictions tested with observation. The time has come to make this transition. Nesrine Malik: The House of Saud is still in denial
This book follows a plan (or not-plan) common to authors who have plenty of ideas that have yet to form themselves into a seamless narrative. So that we have here is a long series of paragraphs picking up pieces of the story. They cover a lot of the field, and, like a carpet of leaves, they duplicate one another, but this is the best I can do and it is backed up by millions of words of notes on the website.
Like music, quantum mechanics is principally a matter of timing (measured by phase) which is closely related to energy so once we have energy we have
[page 30]
the foundations of quantum mechanics.
gravitation = null quantum mechanics
Einstein took the gaseous topological space of differential geometry and endowed it with a metric related to the local energy density.

It is very pleasing to read old stuff and feel that it is better than it seemed to be when I wrote it. Perhaps this is the onset of the sort of mature age narcissism that we find in the current US president, but such narcissim might have [the] reproductive advantage of moving me more strongly to propagate my ideas.
Theology and religion are inputs to lifestyle, as made explicit by Hillsong, which has almost removed Christianity from its message.

My only hope of making an impression is to write, refining and justifying message until it finally attracts an editor. Travel and study seem to expensive and time consuming and would not add much to what I know. The job now is to encode my ideas for transmission to any body who wants to hear [doing this all the time anyway with this, site, but not many readers]. I think of the strong emotional appeal of the Christian message which explains why life is difficult and promises everlasting bliss to those who believe and act upon its words. The explanation of our condition is as false as the claim that we do not really die. These false ideas bind many people into a fake life and hinder the development of an evidence based picture of humanity. Teilhard went as far as possible in the Christian milieu with Phenomenon of Man and Milieu Divin. My plan is to go all the way and apply the theory of evolution directly to the divinity that is identical to the world, setting us free to create heaven on earth., which is currently hindered by the parochial and selfish indoctrination that many people receive. This constraint is broken by scientific education. Teilhard de Chardin: Phenomenon of Man, Teilhard de Chardin: Milieu Dvine
On getting an idea into the system: new software upgrades to current software.
The key to organizing is to make it better to be in than out. The reward for being in may be a living and an ideology [which justifies the living].
Enemies are inclined to make false accusations against one another, hoping that the mid will stick and be effective.
[page 32]
It is not prudent to dispose of the old until the new is ready to take the load. We cannot dispose of all the old coal-fired power stations until the alternatives are ready, just as we stick to horses until the fossil powered alternatives became dominant. The same goes for theology. We may point out the deficiencies of Christianity but we cannot have that to have much effect until the alternative is available, just as we put up with shit in the streets when horses ruled transport. Tatsuya Mitsuda: The Horse in European History, 1550 - 1900
