Open Sesame 07/16/16

So the Science Men, they have decided that ducks are smart.

A duck farmer for many years, I could have told them that. But, they never asked. Instead, they made some Science Men tests. And that is how they learned. About the smartness.

Alex Kacelnik and Anotone Martinho III, they Science Man out at Oxford grid-cell-11095-1468512579-4.jpgUniversity. And there they "presented newborn ducklings with pairs of objects that were either identical or different in shape or color. And they found that the birds could learn these traits. They weren't imprinting on a specific shape or color, but on the concepts of 'same' or 'different.' They were looking beyond the individual objects to think about how they are related. In short, 'they were abstracting properties,' says Kacelnik."

These Science Men determined that the ducks, they distinguish between "same" and "different," earlier, and better, than do human infants.

This means ducks, they are the Rulers.

In this tube right here, you can learn whether you are smarter than a duck. You don't have to tell anyone the results.

Some different-one Science Men, they got a Shock, when they discovered that some people known as organ-grinder monkeys, they use stone tools to crack open cashew nuts. And they eat them. The cashews. And they have been doing this, for at least 700 years.

Eventually, the Science Men, they will figure out, that imrs.php__0.jpegthese organ-grinder monkeys, they also created and maintain Faceborg, and run all the governments.

A Science Man monikered Roger Penrose, he has announced that, in re this universe, "the Big Bang wasn't the beginning, but one in a series of cyclical Big Bangs, each of which spawned its own universe."

Duh.

According to Penrose, each universe returns to a state of low entropy as it approaches its final days of expanding into eventual nothingness. Black holes, by virtue of the fact that they suck in everything they encounter, spend their cosmic lifetimes working to scrub entropy from the universe. And as the universe nears the end of its expansion the black holes themselves evaporate, setting things back into a state of order. Unable to expand any further the universe then collapses back in on itself as a highly ordered system, ready to trigger the next Big Bang.

This is basically a restatement of that seemingly gnomic monograph by the renowned physicist Philips Leitch. Which proceeds as follows:

first there is a mountain
then there is no mountain
then there is
first there is a mountain
then there is no mountain

oh juanita
oh juanita
oh juanita
i call your name

The last portion of this theorem, it was subsequently expounded upon by the physicist Sir Lowell George:

[video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb-yB4OxGBA]

Coral polyps, off the coasts of Israel and Maui, they eat, dance, kiss, get jiggy wid it—often, without entering into holy matrimony.

Science Men, they have now built special Spy equipment, so they can Look at this lewdness.

This is the sort of thing the Republican Party platform is talking about, when it says that pornography is "a public health crisis that is destroying the life [sic] of millions." The porno, it is even infecting the Science Men.

I, personally, think that watching coral fuck, it is less "a public health crisis," than the sort of Science Men who think The Thing To Do is to build "a robotic stingray with rat muscles."

It is a robotic project which mimics the stingray, but they didn't farm the marine creature to recreate its body. Instead, they have engineered the machine with rat heart cells, and researchers say that it is sensitive to light.

Remember in the Cultural Revolution, when sometimes they made the Science Men go out and do something useful, like grow rice?

Somehow, these sorts of people, they didn't get the message.

With all this testing and spying and tinkering and discovering, I am wondering when the Science Men, they will get around to finding the missing numbers.

Like, between the numbers two and three, there is the number gleeb. And between fourteen and fifteen, there is 51ucbm0CSmL._SL300_.jpghorbteen. And between forty and fifty, there is flinty.

And that besides addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, there is blifission.

And that fractions, they are criminals from space.

And so on.

When they figure this stuff out, it is really going to mess with the math.

With the aid of sinister Science Men, the government, it puts chemtrails into the pizzas. This is why people eat them. Everybody knows pizza isn't really good for you, but everybody eats it anyway. Because of the chemtrails. The chemtrails, they are in the pizza advertisements, too. This is why sometimes a person can go months, years even, without eating a pizza: but then, a chemtrail, it will get out of an ad, and into a person. And then that person, s/he will eat a pizza.

The chemtrails, they have a more powerful effect on some people, than on others. This Dany Ortiz human in Cicero, Illinois, for instance: the chemtrails, they so possessed his being, that he has been arrested, for rifling through automobiles, in a desperate attempt to try to find some monies, so he could buy the pizzas.

A Cicero man who told the police he loved pizza and wished to sample an array of pies in the western suburbs has been accused of stealing loose money from unlocked vehicles to support his gastronomic habit, authorities said . . . .

Several vehicle burglaries had been reported in Riverside in recent weeks. One resident provided police with a license plate of a suspicious vehicle and another supplied police with a home surveillance video taken while her car was burglarizedDSC00372.JPG in her driveway. In the video, a man dressed in pajama bottoms, slippers and a T-shirt is seen entering the parked car, according to the news release . . . .

Ortiz gave a full confession. He said he was a pizza lover and wanted to try different kinds of pizza. He identified several pizzerias in the west suburbs whose wares he wished to sample—his favorite was a place on Harlem Avenue in Oak Park—but since he lacked money, he resorted to taking cash from unlocked vehicles, police said.

Ortiz would burglarize unlocked vehicles between 5 and 7 a.m., taking only cash and leaving behind laptops, iPads and other electronic equipment, police said.

In other criminals, up on the airplanes, they are urinating on the passengers again.

In a previous Sesame, we explored the strange and terrifying Dangers of the airplanes. Among these, the Reality, that a fellow passenger, he may suddenly rise in his seat, and begin spraying urine, upon all and sundry.

Like:

Flight ML2673 was halfway through its 90-minute journey when one of its 166 passengers reportedly became unruly because he wasn't allowed to smoke or drink alcohol on board, French media reported. He allegedly urinated on a fellow passenger and caused a fight that ended with him being pinned down and detained by flight attendants.

And:

Last September, a 27-year-old man was arrested at Portland International Airport in Oregon after he allegedly urinated on fellow passengers on a JetBlue flight from Anchorage, Alaska.

The man, who had been sleeping for most of the flight, stood up and began urinating through the space between the seats in front of him.

A police report said he lost his balance and fell backwards, spraying urine on other passengers, seats and luggage.

Well, now, it is happening, again.

[video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWa0dZMHYeE]

An easyJet passenger was arrested after he pulled down his trousers and began PEEING in the aisle as his flight was landing.

The 26-year-old horrified other travellers with the stunt as the flight from Copenhagen was taxiing to a standstill at Edinburgh Airport.

Cabin crew called cops at 3.30pm yesterday and the drunk, who had been downing his own booze during the flight, was hauled off the jet in handcuffs to a waiting police van.

A source said: "Nobody could believe what they were seeing. He just stood up and pulled his trousers down. It's been suggested he was trying to pee on other passengers, but I don't believe that was his intention."

Uh-huh. Sure.

Speaking of criminals, as of this writing—which is occurring late, but also early: quantum—there has, as of yet, emerged no evidence, that Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, who on Bastille Day drove a semi through people strolling the waterfront promenade in Nice, France, which is without doubt a heinous and criminal act, he was additionally a "terrorist," within the modern meaning of that term. That is, SCARY ISLAMIC BROWN PERSON.

Bouhiel did not, shortly before, or during, his ravages, get on a phone, or a tube, and there "swear allegiance," to any scary Islamic brown person organization. He apparently left behind no writings, in which he stated he acted as he did, to further some agenda, of some scary Islamic brown person organization.

No. Instead. As of this writing. The best evidence. From family, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances. Is that he was not a scary Islamic brown person terrorist. But, instead, but a raging asshole.

Truck terrorist Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel was an 'unlikely jihadist' who flouted every rule of Islam, his cousin told MailOnline today.

The 31-year-old—who wreaked terror on the Nice seafront as he turned an evening celebrating Bastille Day into a night of terror in which he murdered 84 innocent people—drank alcohol, ate pork and took drugs.

He never prayed or attended a mosque, and hit his wife—with whom he had three children aged five, three and 18 months—and was in the process of getting a divorce.

It is understood he lost his job as a delivery driver when he fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into four cars and had also been involved in a bar brawl.

Walid Hamou, a cousin of Bouhlel's dueltunnel.jpgwife Hajer Khalfallah, told MailOnline: 'Bouhlel was not religious. He did not go to the mosque, he did not pray, he did not observe Ramadan. He drank alcohol, ate pork and took drugs. This is all forbidden under Islam.

'He was not a Muslim, he was a shit.

'He beat his wife, my cousin, he was a nasty piece of work.'

Wissam, a Tunisian neighbour from the same village as the driver, claimed: 'On the Thursday night he was drinking with a colleague and they argued. His pal said you're worth nothing and he replied: 'One day, you'll hear about me.'

Speaking to L'Express he said: 'Look this is someone who drinks, smokes cannabis.'

Also, it now seems that the guns found in the van were fake and the grenade inoperable.

'Why?' said Wissam. 'What was the point of that?'

Who knows? This could prove to be the most embarrassing boner of mistaken religious/racial profiling of all time.

It is not unprecedented, and in France, for someone to deliberately careen a vehicle into a bunch of people, that person to initially be suspected of terrorist impulses, only for the authorities ultimately to conclude the perpetrator was about something altogether different.

In December of 2014, for instance, a man drove a van into a crowd of Christmas shoppers in Nantes. While this drive-through was "initially attributed to Islamist extremists," Nantes police finally said "they had established no religious motives for the incident." Several days before, "a 40-year-old man drove a van into a group of people in Dijon, injuring 11 people. Although the man was reported to have also shouted 'Allahu Akbar' he was later found to have been a regular patient at a psychiatric hospital."

Driving a vehicle into a crowd of people, this is, by definition, a mentally-ill act. Yet if it is determined said drive-through, it was for some "cause," particularly a scary Islamic brown person cause, then all discussion of mental illness, it flies, like an unseatbelted passenger, right out the window.

Weird.

The father of the Nice lorry driver said his son had undergone psychiatric treatment in the past.

Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, 31, was unstable and sometimes violent, his father told RTL in Tunisia.

Monthir Bouhlel said:

"He had some difficult times.

"I took him to a psychiatrist, he took his treatments and he said he had a serious illness."

"From 2002 to 2004, he had problems that caused a nervous breakdown. He would become angry and he shouted; he would break anything he saw in front of him," Mohamed Mondher Lahouaiej-Bouhlel said outside his home in M’saken. He said he was prescribed medication to treat his depression.

That there is as of yet no evidence that this was a scary Islamic brown person act, that has not prevented everyone with a mouth and a bullhorn, and all around this world, from bellowing that Bouhlel is a scary Islamic brown person "terrorist," and, as a result, there must commence renewed Fear and Violence and War, and all and everywhere.

The Hairball, for instance, he immediately got on the horn with his great good friend Falafel Boy, and there fulminated that all of the Americans, they are now enmeshed in "a world war." And that when he becomes the president, he will go to the Congress, and demand from them there assembled a "declaration of war." He did not specify exactly who or what or where he would have the FBF8WUBGUR6ILMT.MEDIUM_0.jpgCongress declare war on. Nor, when he next foamed that NATO must commence ground and air attacks "to wipe ISIS off the face of the earth," did he specify in which countries, regions, backwaters, or fire swamps, these attacks would or should occur. He's just going to commence firing. Kick ass. Kill. Like the Thanatos boy he is.

It has really been pretty amusing—exasperating, but amusing—watching people, over these past many months, hallucinate that The Hairball, he is somehow less of a bloodthirsty bastard, than is The Mad Bomber. It hasn't mattered what he's said—that he would "bomb the shit out of ISIS," go into Iraq and "take all the oil," send a minimum of 30,000 troops to Iraq and Syria and Libya, blockade the South China Sea, maybe drop a nuke on Europe, assassinate Kim Jong Un, execute Edward Snowden, waterboard (and worse) all and sundry ("I like it a lot. I don't think it's tough enough"), etc., etc.—still, has there persisted, this delusion, that he is some three-fisted warrior, manly battling the "neocons."

Right. Like how he's really swining a mace at the "neocons," with this Congressional declaration of "world war," and running NATO air and ground forces all over unspecified areas of the globe.

It really is so very odd. How so many of the humans. Will, and so willfully. Blind themselves.

Maybe, some Science Men. They should do a Study.

Never trust a duckling, gosling, cygnet. There may be lurking parental figures who are large and protective and angry. If one has never heard a Canada goose mutter, you are living on borrowed time. Be safe. My not-yet-2 y/o son was nipped by a C. goose for not feeding bread fast enough. Marked for life. He did not develop goose phobia, however.

When mute swans (those import products, Queen's property) fly, their wing primaries sound like a calliope. And then they land to look regal and demand food. At wingpoint.

discussed here, there is always some sort of asteroid or comet or meteor or something, coming to destroy the planet.

This tube claims there shall commence next year a 100-year-rain of asteroids.

A previously unknown asteroid belt has been located in deep space and is now hurtling towards our part of the solar system.

It means a 'global killer' could collide with Earth as soon as 2020, wiping out life as we know it and changing the climate for millennia.

The terrifying predictions came as NASA revealed disturbing new data showing 400 impacts are expected between 2017 and 2113, based on new observational data of objects seen in space over the past 60 days.

Most will have a maximum diameter of around 100 metres - the size of seven double decker buses - and the potential to cause significant damage.

But concerned scientists warned a colossal "monster" is also heading our way, with one 'mega' asteroid threatening earth in just SIX years.

It follows claims this week by physicist Professor Brian Cox that a bus-sized asteroid, named 2014 EC, came within 61,637 kilometres (38,300 miles) of Earth in March.

He said there is an "asteroid with our name on it" and it is only a matter of time before an asteroid large enough to wipe out the human race collides with Earth.

Bummer. Guess it's time to get to the Shelter.

religion often gets classified as crackpot because a guy survived being swallowed by a whale and another guy built a huge boat that carried two of all species and another guy.....well, how is that different from Roman mythology, which was taken from Greek mythology, which was taken from Egyptian mythology, which was taken from...? (we might ask)

But physicists, who qualify as Science Men and Women, say the Eastern religions are closer to what they, the Science People, are discovering. That is, a bunch of that Hindoo stuff fits with quantum physics. I was gonna link to Bell's Theorem but it hurts my head so....not today.

Anyway, a Zen master wrote

Classical science seems to reflect the conventional truth and quantum physics seems to be on its way to discover the absolute truth, trying very hard to discard notions such as being and non-being, inside and outside, sameness and otherness, etc.… At the same time, scientists are trying to find out the relationship between the two kinds of truth represented by the two kinds of science, because both can be tested and applied in life.

I said the Leitch physicist, he could buddhist and big-bang, simultaneously. ; )

However, whenever anybody, in any discipline, claims to be a "master," I check out. Same with assertions of "absolute truth." : 0

Some buddhist or other, he once stated, without judgement, that zen, it is the buddhism for samurai and neurotics. An interesting observation.

I think Bell's theorem, that is the one that goes:

all you gotta do
is ring that bell

Also:

I saw myself

and vowed,
always to be open to it
that all of it

really hate the carnal sins. They got so obsessed with it they forbid for a long long time perspective in art. Fra Angelico he caused a big brouhaha when he added a third dimension perspective to western art, Because everybody knew the world was just flat. It was too real. It proved that the plagues are not caused by piles of rags. You have to look under the rags and get a look at the rats that live in the rags that carried the disease. For that you need 3D.

Putting diapers on peoples gentiles is so insane I cannot comprehend the thought behind such a thing. This diapering of the genitals is as sick as anything both science men , religious men and pols have ever tho0ught up. How many angels can they fit eh? and how many roads must a person go down before they learn to be free. A lot these days as all roads old and new lead us to another dead end loop.

The infamous 28 pages were released last night and, wouldn't you know it, Prince Bandar bin Sultan gets a mention. He's been keeping a pretty low profile of late, but he's the money man behind a lot of this Islamic extremism. Some day, many years from now, it will all come out. ISIS is Bandar's creation. From The Intercept:

The report also mentions that numbers found in the phonebook of Abu Zubaydah, a detainee currently held in Guantánamo, could be traced to a company in Denver, Colorado, connected to former Saudi ambassador to the U.S. Prince Bandar bin Sultan.

Somewhere along the readerly way I have recollected asong from my very early childhood.

I had it on a record, but the Mickey Mouse cartoon version is good, too. Anyway, I sang it over and over, as little kids do.

Much later in life, I happened to remember it again and was singing it when a Philosopher Friend heard me. This friend laughed out loud and said, "It's the Aristotle song!" Very true. The cartoon version, by adding an equation at the end of the cartoon, "upgrades" it to "the Aristotle AND Plato song."
