new book by carol lynn price is awful

carol lynn price has a new book out called faithless: liberals are evil baby-killing bed-wetters, and it is absolutely awful. here is a promo video about it. that book came out yesterday, 6/6/6, which, as you might recall, was also the day that the apocalypse happened (again!). these apocalypses are soooooo friggen tiresome. how many times does the world have to end before people wake up and realize they have been killed off now many times over. you might find carol lynn price posting a blog here under a false identity. i think she is an illegal immigrant from canada, and that is why she is using false identities. hey guess what canadians? learn english, or go back to canada! this is america, and we americans don’t take kindly to foreigners who think they can just come here and violate all of our laws. i saw president bush on tv today talking about america, and how illegal immigrants come from mexico up here to america, and we need to deport them back out of america, to mexico, which, as bush and i both agree, is not a part of america. this guest worker program is such a great idea! think about it... americans have a minimum wage, so we need to bring in subhuman “morlocks” from fake countries that we secretly control with death rays designed by nikola tesla, and these morlocks will do the cheap labor that americans won’t do. and why won’t americans do this cheap labor? because the companies that would hire them are unwilling to pay anyone a decent salary to do it, and they are only willing to pay people salaries below minimum wage! but, obviously, it would make no sense to force companies to pay everyone a minumum wage in this country; for every rule, there need to be tens of millions of exceptions, right? the whole point of having a minimum wage is to use this to deny work to citizens and bring in vast numbers of foreigners to do our work for us, while our country continues to have a negative savings rate and our nation as well as our citizens go deeper into debt. undoubtedly, the loss of american jobs and driving everyone into bankruptcy will be very good for the economy. just think of all the affluent consumers there will be to buy things once this is a third-world country! no... wait a minute... actually, it seems like the whole point is to eliminate affluent consumers and make this country as poor as possible. anyway, i am sure carol lynn price would have something stupid to say about this in her new book, which is why i am condemning it without even reading it. you should too! we must all unanimously condemn her, without any critical thought, and just act like a herd of sheep! carol lynn price is bad! at least we somehow survived the apocalypse again, yesterday. we must be in a parallel universe instead of the real one, because i know for a fact that the real universe was completely destroyed yesterday. i was there. or rather, my evil twin from a parallel universe was there! but he died. and for what? carol lynn price, what have you done? by publishing your book on 6/6/6, you disrupted the fabric of the space-time continuum and destroyed the real universe, the one that this fake universe is just a parallel universe of. and you killed my evil twin, in fact an entire universe of evil twins! for shame. because in that parallel universe, there was a woman called ann coulter, who was remarkably similar to carol lynn price, but now she is dead too. you have killed your own evil twin from a parallel universe! what message are we sending to the children? do not buy this awful, horrible book. remarkably, it seems we do have books by ann coulter in this universe, that have come through a vortex in the space-time continuum unharmed by the destruction of ann coulter and her entire universe. those books i do recommend, although they would seem like complete nonsense, lies, and gibberish to anyone from our universe. but, at least we would have some idea of what that universe looked like, before it was destroyed by the apocalypse on 6/6/6. this may help anthropologists piece together what really happened to the real universe, and how a righteous conspiracy of good and honorable people destroyed that evil universe in a battle of armageddon. we should study what happened, and use it to wash our own brains, so our universe can avoid a similar fate. have you ever wondered why truth is stranger than fiction? as i just explained, this universe we inhabit is in fact fictional, and the true universe has been destroyed by us. as a result, truth no longer exists, and every factual statement is now a lie. so buy carol lynn price’s new book, and burn it. i know i would have, if her book existed; strangely enough, all copies of her book fell into the time vortex and are now missing, perhaps off in some other universe, being read by space aliens to their regurgitated reconstituted reanimated resurrected ancestors that they raise as children to replace them again, in a cyclical time cycle that is cyclical and did i mention it is a cycle?

oh, and remember my computer? it’s dead now. the motherboard is apparently fried for good now. i got a new power supply, by the reputable manufacturer thermaltake, to replace the suspicious okia power supply that may have caused the motherboard failure. now i need the motherboard replaced by abit’s “erma” service. abit made the motherboard, and they are in taiwan, but they have actually hired some american folks in fremont, california to fix things for american customers. these californians with taiwanese bosses are the only people who can save my motherboard now, at least according to my warranty agreement. if i have them fix my motherboard under the warranty, this is economic activity that will add to the united states gross domestic product, but not the gross national product; it adds to the gross national product of taiwan instead. at least someone benefits from my computer problems: the workers who are paid to repair my motherboard are the beneficiaries. in fact, all american citizens are beneficiaries, since those workers pay taxes. so please, thank me for having a computer whose motherboard crapped out; this motherboard-crapping-out will have caused a net transfer of wealth from taiwan to the united states. and taiwanese people, you should not be mad about this, because your nation’s companies have a complete monopoly on motherboards, and you are making all the profits. just keep sending your kids to cornell and we’ll call it even.

another update on my computer

ok... so... the problem is not the onboard audio controller (a.k.a. the via vinyl audio codec). i was running sisoft sandra to see what the deal was with the hardware, right? and it said the “mainboard” temperature was 66 degrees celsius, whereas the cpu was only 55 degrees. pretty fucking fishy if you ask me, because the cpu generates much more heat than the mainboard, so it should be much hotter. the rom bios was out of date so i updated to the latest bios for the abit nv7, and the update ran flawlessly. now, in the bios setup menu, it said that the “pwr” temperature was 66 degrees and the “cpu” was 55 degrees. so maybe the temperature sensor is in the power supply or something? i turned off the computer and opened it up. it wasn’t actually that hot inside. everything seemed to be made by reputable, well-known manufacturers: abit motherboard with via chipset, amd cpu, fan, and heatsink, kingston memory, evga.com nvidia video card, western digital hard drive, etc. there was just one oddity: the power supply/chassis fan unit is made by some company i never heard of, and does not have much information on the side. oh it lists some shit about how many volts and watts and all that, but i couldn’t find anything about how many rpm its fan is, or anything like that. and i looked at the wires coming out of the power supply. hardly any of them. cheap-ass piece of shit power supply. and the power supply also includes the chassis fan that is supposed to cool the entire computer tower. it is made by a company called “okia”, with model number “okia-450atx”. so it is 450 watts. that is almost certainly enough, but i am sure the quality of this unit leaves much to be desired. a better model would have a better fan and offer better cooling, and also provide a more stable source of electricity. lately there have been thunderstorms practically every day, and lots of momentary blips in the electric power to our house. i need a power supply that can deal with that shit. it is too bad nikola tesla is not around anymore... he would have made the best power supplies ever! he is the greatest electricity expert the world has ever known. the world could use more scientists like him. if you can, you should read about nikola tesla... he did the craziest experiments. he electrocuted himself all the time, on purpose, in front of large audiences, and did all sorts of astounding tricks. he could hold a light bulb in his hand and have it glow, he could shoot lightning from his fingertips, and he could create red fireballs in his hands and hold them there without getting burned. in his later years, tesla was regarded by the public as a demented mad scientist, but what happened after his death tells everything. the u.s. government seized all of his property, and would not let his friends or family even look at any of it, saying it was top-secret and classified and a national security matter. apparently, he had come up with ideas that could be very useful in warfare, and our government did not want them to fall into the hands of the enemy. anyway, nobody alive today is nearly as big of an expert in electricity as tesla was; he invented alternating current, for crying out loud. anyway, when i took the a+ certification class, the teacher was really big on thermaltake, a manufacturer of computer cases and cooling solutions and fans and power supplies. maybe i should get one of their power supply/fan units. and my cpu fan/heatsink is made by amd, and came with the cpu. there are more advanced cooling solutions available. mainly, i need to cool off my computer because it gets way too hot, and this overheating is “killing it softly”. and the crappy power supply is also killing it, too. but i can move my computer to a location where it is surrounded by air, at least. that is better than where i was keeping it, inside a cabinet on my desk. yes, the cabinet door was open, but it was still surrounded on 5 of 6 sides by wood. maybe just moving it out to where it is surrounded by air might be enough to fix it. who knows? i could also add a case fan, since it doesn’t have one. i dunno whether they are necessary. hmm.

update on my computer problem

ok... my computer crashed again, and this latest time, it actually blamed a file called kmixer.sys for crashing the computer. after it rebooted, the microsoft feedback page for the error reporting tool said i probably had bad memory. WRONG! i already tested the memory and it works PERFECTLY. i used memtest86+. microsoft's feedback page did say that there was also a possibility that i had a hardware or device driver problem. i already knew that, because the BSOD (blue screen of death) had specifically fingered kmixer.sys as the culprit. so kmixer.sys is the kernel audio mixer. this means the problem is the audio driver, or the audio hardware. so, at least i know what the problem is now. what can i do? i can try disabling the audio driver, which will disable all sound, but theoretically it should prevent my computer from crashing anymore. we will see. hopefully i am correct, and the via vinyl audio codec is at fault, and i will not need to suspect anything else on my system of being faulty. if the motherboard’s onboard audio is faulty, i can simply add in a pci sound card and install a driver and things will be fine. i already have an extra one lying around, just waiting to be used: the creative labs sound blaster live! 24-bit, to be specific. so, things should be fine, hopefully.

such bullshit

this haditha massacre of 24 civilians is such bullshit, as far as controversies go. obviously this kind of thing happens all the time. that is just the way war works. if you give soldiers guns and train them to kill enemies, but don’t train them how to do law enforcement, and then send them out somewhere to fight a nameless, faceless enemy that hides in the shadows... well... just don’t be surprised if the soldiers go on killing sprees. the problem is, our american media actually reported it this time. the arab media has been broadcasting information about atrocities carried out by our troops, ever since the war in iraq began. i mean, hello? has anyone heard of fallujah? and what about “shock and awe”? you think those big giant bombs bush dropped at the beginning of the war didn’t kill innocent people? keep dreamin’. of course they killed innocent people. and our air force does airstrikes against innocent iraqis all the time. they call it “collateral damage”. and in afghanistan, how many wedding parties has our air force bombed the crap out of? who knows? these right-wingers don’t give a damn if innocent people die. all they care about is their stupid president, and brainwashing us into being a militaristic society. it is that us versus them crap again. american lives matter, iraqi lives don’t. and of course the 4th-reich-wingers are pretending they care about the 24 civilians who were killed in haditha. what a joke! sure they care. just like they cared about us invading a country on false pretenses and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS! 24 is nothing. anyone who thinks this is just about 24 civilians is totally missing the point. we obviously killed thousands of times as many innocent people in iraq as were killed in that one massacre. by “we” i mean, the united states, collectively, acting as a nation. and if you, like me, disapprove of this, too bad. because guess what? we have no power. the liar-in-chief has all the power. jail to the thief! and i just heard 90% of the troops currently serving in iraq STILL believe we invaded iraq because of saddam hussein’s “role” in the 9/11 attacks. talk about brainwashing! if our troops are THAT brainwashed, NO WONDER they are going around berserk, killing innocent people! if we expect our troops to be able to exercise sound judgement and not go around killing innocent people all the time, we ought to expect, first of all, that our troops be told the truth and not lied to all the time. our government has betrayed the troops and maliciously exploited and taken advantage of their naive trust in our president. our soldiers are more misinformed about why they are fighting than anyone! and i recently took a public speaking class with a guy who was a soldier in iraq. he didn’t want to talk much about what had happened there, it seemed traumatic, and he was in the marines. but what he did say was that he had a very negative impression of iraqis and it’s hard for him to see them as actual people, and the longer he served in iraq the more he disliked the iraqi people. i think this is probably the way almost all the soldiers there feel about the iraqis. we are at war in iraq, and our enemy is the iraqi people. they are fighting our occupying army so our soldiers in iraq are fighting them. any patriotic, self-respecting people will rise up in armed resistance against any foreign occupier. that is just the way it works. but our soldiers have all bought into the hype that we are there to defend this sovereign iraqi democracy, and that we are fighting against al qaeda in iraq, led by abu musab al-zarqawi. the truth is, most iraqis are shiites, and zarqawi wants to kill all shiites because he thinks they are infidels, so if we left, the iraqis would crush him anyway. groups like muqtada al-sadr’s mehdi army would lead the way; al qaeda is a sunni organization and the shiites would not tolerate it. so why don’t we just let people like muqtada al-sadr run iraq? it’s cuz we don’t like the iranian mullahs and don’t want another shiite theocracy, so our government has been forcing the iraqis to form a “unity” government against their will. the shiite parties have a clear majority in the parliament and they could easily rule the country without support from sunni arabs or kurds. we are just obstructing them because we are worried about iranian influence. but it is their country, not ours, and if the iraqis want to be a shiite country and ally with iran, let them go ahead and do it. it is not our place to tell them to be a democracy and form a unity government and allow us to maintain foreign military bases and keep our occupying troops in their country. so ridiculous... that we would kill people in order to liberate them and bring them freedom and democracy. yeah... you’ll be able to vote once you’re dead, cuz we’ll fix the elections, heh heh. really makes me sick. it is good the american cia puppet iyad allawi is out of power (because how on earth could the iraqis govern themselves if their leader is an american puppet and cia asset) but it is very clear that we are still keeping the iraqi government on a short leash. their government has to meet inside the heavily fortified “green zone” which is guarded by united states troops. so, if they REALLY pissed us off, we could just “accidentally” let some suicide bomber in to blow up the iraqi parliament. that’s the kind of thing that gives us leverage. it’s hard for the iraqi leaders to be too anti-american, when they rely on u.s. forces for their personal protection. but come on! WE NUKED HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! 24 people is nothing! the war crimes of the united states of america are far worse than a mere 24 deaths of the innocent. at least the german and japanese people have repented for their sins, and become more enlightened nations. they are now both nations of pacifists, yet a few decades ago they were fascist, militarist, expansionist, genocidal dictatorships. what will it take for us to repent? i have a feeling that when the rapture comes and exactly 144,000 people vanish into thin air, the reason they all vanish into thin air will be a nuclear bomb that just vaporized them. and who would launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike against an unarmed enemy? george w. bush. that’s why “all options are on the table with iran”. that is washington code-speak for “we have not yet arrived at a final decision about whether we will pre-emptively launch nuclear weapons to kill massive numbers of innocent civilians on purpose”. don’t you just love our president? i feel so safe, knowing that the world’s most psychotic killer is the most powerful person on the planet. he will keep us safe, by killing lots of innocent people who really are quite harmless in hindsight, but sort of seemed like they might possibly be dangerous, perhaps, if you are as insane as he is. have you ever heard his schtick about how he is fighting this war to bring peace to the world? it is really a hilarious comedy routine, and he does the whole thing with a straight face. the kicker is, i think the bastard doesn’t even get his own joke... he is THAT dense. he really believes the bullshit he’s saying. and that’s why he is more dangerous than any terrorist mastermind of al qaeda could possibly be. no wait, the terrorists also believe the bullshit that they say. ok, the real reason he is so dangerous is, he is the commander-in-chief of the world’s only superpower, and he is a deranged madman. yeah. that’s it. anyway, my greatest worry is that george w. bush will singlehandedly bring about the extinction of the human race, before his term is up. hey, nuclear war does that to people. all we have to do is nuke another country, and it’s all over. at least we can hope that the foreign leaders who have nukes will not be as insane as our president is. at least we can hope. but the very existence of so many nuclear weapons on hair-trigger alert means our extinction as a species is a statistical certainty in the near future, at least on a geologic time frame, where things are measured in thousands or millions of years. we probably won’t even last 100 years. that is what my astronomy teaching assistant told me when we were calculating terms for the drake equation. pretty depressing stuff, if ya ask me.

the problem with humans

we are all humans, me, and you readers, of course. but there is a very serious problem with us. do you know what is wrong with us humans? we came about through biological evolution, from animals. you may have noticed, animals lack the capability to do rational thought, or process language and words and use that to communicate. humans, on the other hand, are perfectly capable of rational thought and the use of language and advanced word-based communication. that is what is wrong with us.

you see, we have invented technology, and used it to make ourselves live in an artificial world, far from the natural world our ancestors came from. we have developed advanced multicultural society with multiple different frames of reference for human understanding. but, human understanding is something that causes pain and suffering, and makes us search for meaning. why is this? it is very simple.

emotions and animal urges are very common in animals, and animals always act on their emotions and urges. animals do not have any notion of delayed gratification or self-control. they cannot teach each other proper forms of behavior. they rely upon instinct. and when they act in harmony with instinct, pursue the goals that their animalistic urges drive them to pursue, and are successful, animals are happy. animals do not search for meaning in life, or question things, or wonder what their place in the universe is. they do not wonder about an afterlife, or feel like there is something missing, or feel empty inside. they do not engage in pointless debates with other animals who strongly disagree with them. because animals cannot comprehend ideas, nor do they have any need for ideas. they do perfectly well without them. animals may be stupider than us humans, and might not live as long, and might be prone to rather gruesome deaths, but such is the way of nature. at least they enjoy their brief lives, or so it appears to us.

humans, on the other hand, have a lot of problems. our technology and language have brought us many benefits, but also huge amounts of problems, especially psychologically. we still have the same emotions, instincts, and urges as our animal ancestors, but our language abilities have enabled us to teach each other things. and what do we teach each other? every human is naturally born as an animal, who pursues instincts and urges and acts on emotions, without a care for anything else, or any need for delayed gratification or anything like that. but, we teach our children, the young humans, not to be animals. we teach them the human lifestyle, the civilized mode of behavior, where self-restraint, self-control, delayed gratification, and subordination of the emotions to the intellect are all taught. whereas in animals, the mind is simply a tool to help the body survive and reproduce, in humans, it is reversed, and the body, and technology, and everything else, all exist for the benefit of the mind. a person’s body is de-personalized, and humans are de-animalized, when they are children. we become mind-word-zombies, enslaved by our own minds, and the words of our languages, and the systematic forms of behavior that we teach each other. since we humans teach each other to live in such a non-harmonious way with our animalistic nature, we feel a profound sadness deep inside, a feeling of emptiness, a feeling that the modern life is pointless or hopeless.

there are many ways this problem is shown. we humans are often violent or abusive towards one another, or self-destructive or suicidal towards ourselves. we pursue belief in authoritarian belief systems of organized religion or of cults, which tell us what we can and cannot do, and what we can and cannot believe. this is enslavement of both mind and body to an impersonal, abstract system of ideas that does not even physically exist. we brainwash ourselves into believing in various causes, political ideologies, or belief systems, and demonize and hate anyone who opposes our views or our goals. we all find a need to somehow rebel against the system, and every human has their own unique way of rebelling against the norms of this social, economic, and political system of mental enslavement. but who is really enslaving us? the answer is quite clear: each person enslaves themselves. we teach each other self-enslavement, and live our lives based around this notion. we criticize people who fail to fully enslave themselves, such as people who suddenly go berserk whilst stationed in a hostile foreign country, and go on a killing rampage against innocent civilians. our word-based ideas of morality teach us the non-animalistic concepts of right and wrong, which often contradict the animalistic notion of doing whatever you feel like doing, at all times, without any restrictions. people who behave in this animalistic manner are usually categorized as behaving wrong, and severely punished. thus society regulates itself, and ensures that mental self-enslavement is universally practiced.

so, why do we procrastinate important assignments when we are students? why do we accumulate large messes in our houses and not clean up? why do we abuse and mistreat each other, and have pointless arguments or senseless violence? why do we feel like there is something missing, and feel emptiness or hopelessness inside, and have to resort to organized religion or cults or spirituality or other irrational belief systems? why do we refuse to take responsibility for things and blame everything on other people? this is all part of the core problem of humans. our animalistic emotions, instincts, and urges have not evolved to a higher form, although our word-based language skills and reasoning ability are a relatively new gift from evolution. these language skills and reasoning ability are quite new, on evolutionary terms, and we, as a species, have not had enough time to adapt to them. and, since the development of advanced technology, we have had hardly any time to adapt to it in evolutionary terms. this takes many, many generations. while our minds are supple enough to deal with paradigm shifts and come up with and understand new ideas, this puts our emotional, animalistic side at even more disadvantage, because we often tend to ignore its needs and we drive ourselves berzerk deep inside. a soldier can have all the advanced military training in the world, and be taught again and again to always follow orders and to obey the rules of engagement and such, but deep inside we all have a strong need to rebel againt these socially-taught rules and norms. inevitably, everyone finds the need to disobey rules or do things that are immoral or frowned upon; our animal ancestors never followed any rules, and following rules is deeply antithetical to any person, emotionally. every person, at some times, will have their self-control fail, and their animalistic emotions and urges will prevail and govern their behavior. thus, people become drug addicts, or go out and get tatoos or body piercings or dye their hair a bright color, or soldiers in iraq might go on a killing spree in haditha. these are all similar responses of people being overwhelmed by their animalistic emotions, which have a strong sense of hostility to any rules forced upon them by the intellect. our animalistic emotions and urges force us to express ourselves somehow, or act differently from everybody else in some way, because slavish conformity is a great offense against these animalistic sensibilities. but, this animalistic side does not have any use for morality or rules, and is completely selfish and amoral, with no care whatsoever about the long term, only seeking short-term pleasure. the moral mind, with its rules and its words and its language, usually manages to rule over this animalistic emotional side, at least in terms of preventing its worst excesses like killing people. but every person has the potential in them to become a monster, an inhuman amoral killing machine. and why do i say inhuman? because the foundation of humanity, that makes us different from the animals, is our words, our language, our reason, and our morality. once we abandon that, and revert to an animal-like state of existence and behavior, we have become inhuman, and abandoned our humanity.

so, is there a way people can harmonize themselves, and have their animalistic emotions and urges and instincts stay in harmony with their human intellect and language understanding and morality and logic and reason? usually, we can. i think most people could alleviate their problems, the ones of a psychological nature, by having a more internally harmonious existence. if we focus our intellect and reason on the issue of fulfilling as many of our animalistic urges and instincts as possible without violating our sense of morality, we can have internal harmony between our human and animal selves. this is the way to achieve fulfillment, or enlightenment, or nirvana, and end the despair and frustration and sense of hopelessness or emptiness inside. and if we focus on the animalistic urges and instincts that would be moral to fulfill, and ignore the immoral ones, we can preserve our morality without neglecting our animalistic needs, and thus have a harmonious emotional state. we also need to reject systems of ideas that tend to entrap our minds and keep us away from this harmonious existence; there are many ideologies and belief systems that are out there, lurking as traps ready to snap up our minds and make us enslave ourselves yet again. but we each have the keys to our own internal liberation. and someone can free their mind, no matter where they live, or who they are, even in a third-world dictatorship. it is the duty of every human to liberate their own mind from internal oppression, because a person with a harmonious mind is far less likely to ever go berserk or do horrible things than someone whose mind is enslaved by systems of ideas and beliefs. we must always question our own beliefs, the same way a dog must question whether you really have a dog treat in your hand when you command it to roll over. should the dog get all excited and wag its tail and follow your command, or are you just pretending to have a dog treat that is not really there? even animals can have rudimentary beliefs of this sort (i.e., i believe my master is holding a dog treat), which is why having beliefs and ideas is not completely antithetical to human existence and the animalistic side of the mind. but, the less concrete and the more abstract these beliefs and ideas get, the more dangerous they can become towards internal harmony. we must be practical, not idealistic, because the practical human is the one who has the most harmony between urges/instincts and thoughts/actions. insanity = stupidity. a dog who thinks you have a dog treat in your hand when you don’t, and acts very eager and wags its tail really fast, is either insane or stupid, but they are really the same thing: believing something which is false. for a harmonious existence, you can be neither insane nor stupid. you have to be smarter than a dog, and able to see that there is no dog treat in the hand, even though you really wish there were a dog treat in the hand, because false expectations lead to disappointment. anyway, i feel this discussion has been thorough enough to make my point. i am now going to act in accordance with what i have written here. you should too, and then maybe less humans will have problems.
