Andrew Atkin's message to Muslim's

All religions have been written by man. They've been either imagined by man, partly or wholly, or divinely inspired.

I can respect the possibility of divine inspiration because we see this process in action today, with literally millions of people who've gone through a near death experience (NDE). Their messages on retuning from what seems to be a spiritual realm, have been curiously consistent - and positive and simple.

NDE's have been known to occur for thousands of years, and they've been documented. However, today they're particularly common because medical technology has brought so many back from clinical death (learn here).

So what is my assertion?

I believe the most reasonable assumption we can make is that all religions, though very possibly divinely inspired at first, have been corrupted to a given degree. As long as men in power have been able to stand between messengers and texts, it would be naïve to think that the texts would not have been manipulated.

In turn, I believe that the right thing to do with any religion is to hold it at arms length. Let it inspire you where it might, but don't let it be your dictator. If you find something in the teachings that doesn't agree with you, then you should not be afraid to reject it.

If we don't operate like this, and instead accept scripture as absolute, then this can make us dangerous. Blind obedience to any apparent authority can of course be dangerous.

However, if you are deeply religious then I can appreciate you might ask yourself: If my religion has been corrupted, why then would my God allow such a thing to happen?

I can only speculate, but I have a suggestion. I suggest that corruptions are clues. It can be healthy to see authority fail, because it reminds us to think for ourselves. Corruptions can remind us to not believe in something just because it's written down and endorsed by the powerful. Corruptions tell us we should first follow ourselves - authoritative scripture, second.

So, we shouldn't be afraid to disagree when we disagree. There's no evil in that. There's no evil in believing what may not ultimately be right, if our intentions are clean and so our mistakes are honest. Just do your best. What more can be asked?

The most profound corruption?

This can only be my opinion, but I personally believe that the greatest corruption in our main religions is the idea of eternal damnation. Yet, the corruption is understandable...

The idea of hell was created in a time when our societies were typically savage. Strong deterrence was vital to hold things together. Hell was surely a scare tactic for social control - written by man, for man, and as I believe by no God. It was and is social engineering, not inspiration. 

A process of rehabilitation (karma?) would make more sense over unimaginable and eternal vengeance, don't you think?

Note: I wanted to bring attention to the idea of damnation, because I don't believe that people can think straight on their faith with the threat of hell in their minds. The time for that ancient idea is over, I believe. We don't need it and it's shutting down thought. And further, look at the insensibility of it: If you believe what you believe yet only because you're afraid not to believe it, then can you honestly say you believe it at all?

The 3 Headed Monster: Breaking the Leftist Agenda

 

The Leftist machine has three heads - The leftist political parties, the media, and the public service. Included in the public service is academia and now schools.

The monster is powerful because it needs to be. It drives for policy positions that, usually, could not survive honest debate. Leftist objectives are typically unpopular, and will continue to be unpopular until the schools get into the kids heads (it's a long-range game).

The more conservative, right-leaning political parties have been castrated. The best they can do today, is buy people a little breathing space. They can slow the monster down but they can't stop it. They can only superficially and temporarily reverse it. 

A conservative government will be misled and even stonewalled by its public service. As well, the media will show no mercy should a conservative organisation prove to be a threat.

The monster is international at its base. We can see this by the alarming synchronicity in contentious political movements between western nations. We see the same agendas everywhere, driven by the same manipulations. 

Our real heads of state are more like the World Economic Forum and other internationalist organisations, that clearly work together. This is not a conspiracy pondering. The coordination is beyond coincidence.

So where is the hope in the hopelessness?

The cancer is now so prolific and broad, that I believe we need to use the biggest guns. Secession movements. I say give up on trying to reform the irreformable, and instead break New Zealand up into its 16 independent regions. This is the same as sacking central government, outright.





A serious political movement today, needs to shift its focus away from central government and instead to the regions. Open the discussion for regions on why they should consider seceding. It's marketable. The advantages are vast and interesting, and can be easily communicated.

Succession has never been easier, in practical terms. 

Most of the modern public service does as much harm as good, and is inefficient and unnecessary. For where it is desirable, any given system can be quickly imported and duplicated. You hardly even need office buildings anymore. Your modern public service can be based in cyberspace, though the practicals are a conversation for another day. 

The opposition:

The greatest threat to the leftist agenda is secession movements that prove highly successful. It only takes one good example to get the entire county--if not world--thinking about where central governments should begin and end. Naturally, the monster will oppose it with everything it's got. And it will play dirty to that end if we let it.

A good example is Catalonia, Spain. Catalonia tried to hold a popular referendum to secede. That was all it took for greater Spain to bring in riot police to beat people up for trying to vote. A modern secession movement will need precautionary defences. The left can be dark.

The monsters purpose:

The purpose is to create an all-powerful world government: A government so powerful it can enforce vast one-child policies and the like, when and as it sees fit. 

There are serious global concerns requiring strong management, but an unaccountable political monopoly is not the way to go. It's insanely dangerous for so many reasons, not least of which because the highest of places so often attract the lowest of people. 

We need an accountable people's new world order. Not a globalists new world order.

The Spiritual Revolution We Need

Andrew Atkin - May, 2022

Why is it that I can be so comfortably objective about the need for fertility management, to the end of stopping the devastating cycle of mass child abuse, to the end of fighting dysgenic decay, and to the end of achieving long-range population stability?

The central reason is because I don't care - as such. If it's so that my genes are too rubbish to be rightly selected for breeding, and if it's so that I'm too psychologically damaged from child abuse to be a good parent myself, then all I will say to that is "so be it".

I have no ultimate ego in my physical and mental status. This is because of what you could call my spiritual position, which is that my body is not the ultimate 'me'. My body is simply the horse that I ride for this singular lifetime, which I believe (and for many reasons) is only one ride, one horse, out of many more to come and maybe countless that have already been.

Ok. I will turn the page to create a clear and simple picture: 

Take a look at that tragic beggar on the street. Poor health, low intelligence, and infested with psychological pain from chronic early abuse. Are you better than him? Well your body probably is, but look directly at the substantial difference.... I will further create the foundation picture:

When you sleep and dream, your mind goes incredibly dumb because it gates conscious access to your neocortex, which is mostly inactive during sleep. Also, you're insane when you dream. You see things that aren't actually there, and believe in the moment of the dream that it's all real. But, when you dream you are still you - the exact same conscious entity. 

You can see my point? Fundamentally, you're no different to that beggar on the street who rides a difficult and constricted horse. You're just riding an easier horse - for now. Indeed, if you reach a ripe old age your horse (meaning, your body) might well become more pitiful than that beggars. Alzheimer's and a wheelchair is a waiting potential for us all. 

So why the vanity? Why care so much for the glory of your beautiful body, elite status, and high intelligence? Again - it really is just the horse you ride, for now. Ultimately your biological inheritance is worth nothing as such, other than the wellbeing it might provide for a few decades, and hopefully a positive legacy. And that horse you ride, though of course important in itself, is worth nothing compared to the consciousness (spirit) that rides it.

The picture I've created, I believe, is exactly how most people do not see themselves. They value their biological virtues deeply because it helps them to feel they're worthwhile, by feeling like they measure up.

Likewise, it's difficult for people to let their identifications go, for even when they're irrational, and especially when the emotional-driver behind their identity is rooted in repressed pain from childhood; that is, the pain from a childhood with parents who made them feel worthless, through neglect and heartless denigrations (this is so common it's a norm).

The result of our identities, I believe, is that we become afraid of considering fertility management, because we're loath to be told that we might be part of the [let's say?] 20% who are not 'good enough' to breed. That's the last thing our egos want to hear. And so, our spiritual position shuts down the conversations we need to have. And at worst, it opens the path to opaque government forces that may well make our fertility decisions for us (eg, China).

Hence, we need a spiritual revolution. I will say it crude but clear: We can think like horse breeders only when we're not so identified with our horses. A spiritual revolution could help get us there. It could one day make fertility management a comfortable topic - and it needs to be, one day at least.

Where are we Going?

 



The technological tidalwave:

Let me give a simple picture. When you pick up a cup of coffee on your desk, you likely do it automatically. But when the cup is structurally weird and placed in an off location, the feeling then tells your brain to focus on the cup and perform conscious override to pick it up, so picking up the coffee becomes less automatic as you then consciously do it.

This is exactly how mobile robotics will work. The robot will perform a function automatically until something out of uniform order comes up. The robot then immediately presents a visual feed of the task to a human online, and the human then actively controls the robot through the irregularity.

The human does this efficiently, because 5G internet reduces the digital latency between human-command and robot-reaction to about a hundredth of a second. As well, mobile robots use boundary-detection which makes it essentially impossible for human override to be clumsy and damage a boundary. The robot will only interface with its environment to perform an action, when the online controller gives the executive command for it to do so.

With this kind of operation, we will see that modern robots can do almost any job a human can do. 

Robots will become ever more efficient, because once an action is performed it is then recorded. Files are uploaded online, with GPS-tags for easy searching. The human controller will, over time, only have to press the 'repeat' icon on his screen in many cases. Hence, the online controllers create cloud-based operational maps for the robots.

Another vital supporting technology is driverless cars, providing driverless platforms for mobile robots to reach their work points over significant distances. This technology is essentially here, today.

The economics:

It's not about the technology anymore, which is present and demonstrated. It's about deployment. Robots will not be deployed until they make economic sense. What we're waiting for is ubiquitous 5G and driverless platforms, because this is what we need for the economics to become clear.

Even if a standard, multi-purpose robot costs $1m (it won't), if it then replaces one human contractor and works 24/7, it will be employed. Competitive forces will dictate it because it's the most economical option.

There's no real risk in the investment, because usually the robots will be hired by any given company, not bought. This ensures they are utilised constantly, which is key to ensuring uptake.

So what does this mean?

It means you've created a world where there's no need for anyone to leave their home, except for recreation. Nearly all practical operations can be online-based.

Once everything is online, future movements in automation will only require a software upgrade (as such), so progressive automation will happen quickly. Of course, automation moves slowly when you have to develop hardware along with the software.

Also respect that human resource giants, such as India and China, are pushing out masses of computer programmers who will leave us with a programming army, that will make sophisticated software upgrades move forward rapidly.

Add to this machine learning, where we run simulations for robots to find the best way to action given movements, in any given context. Like animals, robots will experimentally simulate actions before they perform them, to maximise speed and efficiency. These simulations can be run online.

Software upgrades, driving rapid automation, applies to administrative automation as well. Again, it's about doing everything online. We will see the development of platforms that remove the need for today's relentless information-duplication, which will likewise drive ever more automation. Once we're all working from standardised apps, operational streamlining can become almost total.

For example: Before you go the café to get your coffee, you can make a purchase from your phone app. Once you hit 'enter' the coffee machine in the café is then immediately programmed to make your custom coffee, with complete automation. That's ultimate streamlining. You can't get more efficient than that until you hook up your brain to a machine-to-brain interface, allowing you to order your coffee via a 'will' impulse alone (one of Klaus Schwab's geek fantasies...but we won't go there).

The social impact:

With this level of automation, you increase productive efficiency to such a degree that you can soon take a wage of, say, $50,000 per-year today, and presume it will be more like $500,000 per-year in one or two decades - that is, relating to real purchasing power. We will be very rich as a society via our bounty of robot 'slaves' and extreme streamlining efficiencies.

Unemployment will be an issue for those who are not creative and exploratory, but ultimately I think this will prove to be a trivial concern. Recreational clubs of all different kinds will develop to help people pass their time. For most people, being isolated from work stress, and work boredom, will prove to be a welcome relief. Mobile robots means the removal of robotic jobs.

My presumption is we will need to develop some kind of universal basic income. In New Zealand, and many industrialised countries, we already have this in effect with a welfare system that is comprehensive and vast.

The politics:

There's going to be a 'great reset' no matter what. When half the planet's a millionaire and can work online, from anywhere in the world, then that can only be completely disruptive to traditional systems. 

The things that allow us to make reasonable predictions, that otherwise keeps politics boring, will be turned on their heads. Everything will change. Does the World Economic Forum understand this? Of course, but I will speak out this later.

There are so many 'ups' to this evolution, but there are some serious downs as well.

The central problem of a super rich society, is that you can induce gross over-consumption. Especially if people have nothing better to do than 'consume'. Can we tolerate every man buying a mansion and at possibly great environmental impact? 

The other problem with super-prosperity is you may induce a massive fertility spike, as the financial and practical barriers to having as many as 10 children per-woman will be removed. Will we be throwing giant sacks of rice at a rat plague? (so to speak!).

I doubt the middle and upper-working classes will choose to have big families in response to great prosperity, because for the most part they're already prosperous and tend not to go beyond the third child, by choice. However, the lower classes are much more prone to breeding heavily when they can. This is not necessarily for the best, because lower classes in the industrialised world are (sadly) associated with more severe child abuse and child neglect. Child abuse is the central driver behind virtually all transparent social problems that we understand today.

So this opens another question: Do we want to breed the underclass? Should great prosperity allow for the expansion of reckless fertility, even more than it has today? What will the far-reaching impact of this kind of social policy be on our evolving world? Do we need to think about direct fertility management and consumption controls?

Who runs the show?

I make an outsider of myself by talking about fertility management. The conversation is culturally taboo. But making fertility management taboo, as a topic, is ridiculous in principle. It's inescapable that the concerns I speak about must be dealt with. And because of this, those who do long-range planning will of course be looking at fertility. You can't pretend an issue is not an issue, when it is. Accurate long-range modelling dictates this.

Ok, so why haven't leading international organisation, such as the World Economic Forum, been talking about fertility and how it relates to that technological tidalwave on our doorstep? Obviously because they can't. We, the people, will call them Nazi's if they dared speak like I have, and that would in turn be the end of any political movement that associates with them. Political suicide.

This could explain why international politics, and international organisations, have been periodically manipulative. If the public won't accept certain truths that must nonetheless be confronted, then the public must be manipulated. Simply, internationalists will work around us - not with us. That means manipulation. Conspiracy, if you like.

That's all very well, but who then would be at the top of the power hierarchy, driving forward global management? I can only speculate, but the zenith of power is not so much facilitated by wealth, I believe, but ruthlessness. It doesn't matter how much money you have, you're still made of flesh. You will still be subservient to an organisation that can and will ultimately kill you, if you don't play ball. And when you're dealing with serious global problems, lethal force can be easily rationalised...

So what's my best guess? I speculate that global management may well have evolved from military super powers, in response to their extensive modelling relating to long-range global threats, including over-population threats. I would suggest the group that really runs this world is more likely to be found in the Pentagon than the Gates foundation. 

So where are we going?

Again I can only guess, but I would bet we're going to a technologically advanced society with enough authoritarian-override to directly control fertility, block over-consumption, and manage the ever-growing threat of high-tech terrorism (meaning, a surveillance society). I guess this, because that is what the models will be telling us we need. It's logical, and many open signs are already pointing in this direction. 

-------------------------------------------------

Extra note:

I've always been able to empathise with the need for global management, to meet certain ends that must be met. But what worries me, is the fact that the game is dominated by an intellectually isolated group or groups. Outsiders don't get to look at the models and criticise them. What the man on the street has to say is irrelevant. The peons are to be studied - not listened to.

Yet, elites are not elites because they are superior. They win their positions through a basic level of ability, of course, but also because of contacts, hyper-ambition, luck, and too often the ability to play dirty (ruthlessness) to get to the top...

None of those traits, other than basic intellectual competence, have anything to do with the kind of attributes we should want to see in executive leadership. Indeed, the very best potential leaders will almost certainly be people you would have never heard of, nor ever will.

What's more, when an establishment becomes rotten it will filter for its own kind. For example, you can ask why hasn't the CCP internally reformed? The answer, is because it filters in the kind of people that will protect the status quo, and filters out those who could provoke an internal reform. This I believe is how corrupt organisations get steadily worse. The good guys leave in disgust - the bad guys stay and have a party.

Hence, this is why public scrutiny is so important for any public organisation. The latency towards serious corruption is forever prevalent and forever dangerous. This is what people need to wake up to, so we can develop a 'new world order' the way it should be developed. Political apathy, or childish political tribalism, might well one day ruin us.

Ultimate Political Synthesis


Everyone's talking about global elites wanting more control, which is valid enough. Yet no one's talking about why they want more control.

Okay, so here are the four biggest social (political) global problems from a long-term focus today:

1. Lack of control for efficient (humane) population stability.

2. Lack of control for eugenics to fight dysgenic decay. [see here]

3. Lack of control to resist serious, technologically-driven terrorism.

4. Lack of control to securely resist steady environmental decay, especially from gross over-consumption.

I can talk about these issues in detail, and I have done so, but the point is we need to look at these concerns and deal with them. Yet we don't. We, the people, push them aside with sweeping rationalisations because we are uncomfortable with the topics. All we typically care about is the short term, believing that the long term will take care of itself or is somebody else's problem.

We also have the relentless preaching of "My freedoms, My rights!" which I empathise with. But guess what; survival trumps even libertarian ideals. Libertarianism must still exist within the boundaries of responsible global management. It's not as simple as letting the free market rip and giving people everything they want, though I wish it was.

The result, is that we have the World Economic Forum and other internationalist organisations doing our job for us, and [maybe rightly] ignoring the democratic process because we, the people, will not do our job.

So there's a split. We have an elite that takes care of long-term thinking, with the power of virtually limitless monies and considerable institutional control, treating us like sheep that won't look ahead because that, alas, is exactly how we act.

The ideal political syntheses is what will happen when the gap between elite thinking and public thinking is closed, so that both parties are rationally accountable to each other. Surely that's more healthy? At the least, it can give us more comfortable agreements - so more comfortable outcomes. 

For example, forced urban intensification, which deliberately makes housing unaffordable and probably to the end of suppressing fertility, is a painful way of doing population stability. If we could accept direct caps on fertility (that are reasonable) then we could have our houses back, thanks.

How do we achieve this?

Jacinda Ardern, Justin Trudeau, Bill Gates, Vladimir Putin and others have attended the WEF young world leaders group. No doubt, in their political family they were taught to think about global problems like what I highlighted at the beginning of this article. So, these issues have almost certainly become a major part of their cognitive reality. Great. So why not present these 'grand problems' to youth in highschools, as well? Why not make these problems part of the publics reality, as well? Do we really want fallible people like Ardern having an in-house monopoly on the most important conversations of our time?
