Foreword By Mark Hamilton The special release that follows is the secret formula to biological immortality. The highly-guarded secret formula contains the only knowledge on Earth that can change mortals to immortals. There has existed for many years an exclusive association, a secret society of renowned physicians and research doctors, leading scientists and intellectuals, self-made entrepreneurs and artists, multi-millionaires and billionaires – happy, powerful people who sense the eternal value of their minds and souls…exceptional people who know how to get things done. They have enormous talents, influences and money. They certainly know how to live and absolutely do not want to die. They sense their eternal value and cannot reconcile why they or their children must die. They plan to cure death for themselves, for their children, for their grandchildren. Perhaps you have seen a documentary on the Discovery Channel about one or two of those individuals. But mostly their identities remain secret in our secret society. Why? The vast majority of people on Earth cannot handle thoughts of living forever. The idea frightens them. The idea scares people away – even friends and sometimes family. That secrecy begins to cast some understandings into the next statement: Deep within this secret society exists, right now, Earth’s first immortals. It’s true, and almost no one knows. It is the greatest kept secret of all time. The small circle of immortals is not fantasy. They exist right now and wait for you right here in the secret parallel society. To them, the loss of human life, loss of the supreme value, is unacceptable. Study, study, study the secret formula to immortality that follows. Immortality is attainable. The shift from a mortal to an immortal is psychological. When the shift comes, then the race is on. You saw that effect in your third heirloom package, in the large“factional” story about Miss Annabelle, her students, and their special “Group”, aka the Neo-Tech Secret Society. They have enormous talents, influences and money. They certainly know how to live and absolutely do not want to die. They sense their eternal value and cannot reconcile why they or their children must die. They plan to cure death for themselves, for their children, for their grandchildren. Perhaps you have seen a documentary on the Discovery Channel about one or two of those individuals. But mostly their identities remain secret in our secret society. Why? The vast majority of people on Earth cannot handle thoughts of living forever. The idea frightens them. The idea scares people away – even friends and sometimes family. That secrecy begins to cast some understandings into the next statement: Deep within this secret society exists, right now, Earth’s first immortals. It’s true, and almost no one knows. It is the greatest kept secret of all time. The small circle of immortals is not fantasy. They exist right now and wait for you right here in the secret parallel society. To them, the loss of human life, loss of the supreme value, is unacceptable. Study, study, study the secret formula to immortality that follows. Immortality is attainable. The shift from a mortal to an immortal is psychological. When the shift comes, then the race is on. You saw that effect in your third heirloom package, in the large “factional” story about Miss Annabelle, her students, and their special “Group”, aka the Neo-Tech Secret Society. Earth’s first immortals have special Neo-Tech knowledge and enormous power and money to pursue their science – the only scientifically sound approach to curing aging and death on our planet. Their exciting breakthroughs, mind you, are not shared beyond our group. Most others are caught in stagnation traps and need death as their only escape, or they are deeply committed to their religion and faith. So be it; God bless them all.
But the first immortals on Earth, deep in the Neo-Tech Secret Society, refuse to release their identities or discoveries, for most others would scoff at them or scold them. Telling others is a waste of energy and time, which is the most precious commodity to Earth’s first immortals. Moreover, the establishment would make it very difficult for this small, powerful group to pursue its science. Earth’s first immortals walk around in society – work, raise children, vacation like everyone else – but they walk around with a highly-guarded secret: they are part of the only group of people with the correct scientific approach to curing their eventual deaths, especially their own children’s eventual deaths. They do not accept growing old, dying, losing the immortal value of their minds and their children’s souls. So, we want you to study, study, study the following literature, Pax Neo-Tech, written by leading-member Dr. Frank R. Wallace. He has created the secret formula to shift you from a mortal to an immortal. All my Level-One-Meeting apprentices need to study the following formula all the way through. Thoroughly absorb its message. I need you to do that to be ready for your shocking Level-Two secret meeting next month... Discover Your Future of Riches [2006 Supplement] Reaping endless riches and romance requires discovering your future with Neo-Tech as newly revealed in Pax Neo-Tech via its two wide-sweep actions: Action #1 sweeps readers out of dead-end psychologies anchored in a 2500-year-old matrix yielding loss and failure. That same action then sweeps readers into sparkling-new psychologies of honesty and rationality yielding riches and romance. Action #2 sweeps away ancient illusions that pretend politics and/or religion play net-beneficial roles in conscious life. *** Pax Neo-Tech discredits both left-and-right utopianisms -- utopianisms of socialism and religion. Then with striking-new knowledge flowing from Pax Neo-Tech, readers break free from 2500 years of authoritarian frauds yielding stagnation and failure. ...Once free, readers reap power and prosperity as described below: Power Pax Neo-Tech is not about illusionary power via gung-ho positive thinking and affirmations that trap conscious life in delusionary worlds of false hopes. Instead, Pax Neo-Tech is about unbeatable power via quiet negative thinking and nullifications that release conscious life into new worlds of open-ended riches. Prosperity Lasting prosperity flows not from collectivist wisdoms and dogmatic instructions. Instead, endless prosperity flows from profitable predictions and unique neothinking revealed by Pax Neo-Tech. *** The initial journey into Pax Neo-Tech delivers piercing facts about which some readers object and then flee. Yet, the refrain is to read on. Read on. Continuous waves of hoax-purging honesties combined with new-color facts wash away those objections as the reader speeds toward a flourishing new life. Pax Neo-Tech slays the twin monsters that have manipulated and drained every person on Earth for 2500 years. Those monsters are dishonesty and irrationality disguised as politics and religion. By nullifying both monsters at once, Pax Neo-Tech frees its readers so each can create his or her own world of joyfully-prosperous living. About You
First, realize that Earth's final war is underway. It is a war of two worlds. It is a war of value producers versus value destroyers. It is a war of rational honesties versus irrational dishonesties. Be not afraid. Be not a loser. For, now you can profit in all situations. How? By learning to harness the hidden power of raw honesty -- a new Illuminati power rising from Pax Neo-Tech -- an uncanny predicting power. [Editor’s note: The term “Illuminati” used throughout the Neo-Tech literature refers not to the 18th-century Weishaupt-conspiratorial myth discussed mainly among today’s paranoid. No, instead, the word Illuminati refers to new knowledge and power rising from non-manipulative/wide-scope honesty that competitively obsoletes a world awash in dogmatically-narrow truths -- dishonestly-manipulated truths.] Start uncovering that new Illuminati power with three strangely-distant questions: (1) Have genocidal Jihadists already won the War of Two Worlds? (2) Enthusiastically backed by perhaps a half-billion Islamic fundamentalists (out of a billion-and-a-half Muslims worldwide), will those Jihadists achieve their scripture-commanded goal to terminate free-will/free-choice life on Earth? (3) Will a dark age descend upon Earth under an Islamic flag via an apocalyptic kill-em-all Iranian leader preparing for the coming of the Ninth Imam by using nuclear weapons to rid the world of infidels? End with three even-stranger questions: (1) Will you submit to Allah to be impoverished? (2) Will you resist to be beheaded? ...Or, (3) will you unleash the Illuminati power revealed in Pax Neo-Tech to gain clean-sweep riches in bust or boom, in war or peace? Answers to those unusual questions provide the first Illuminati key. That key unlocks a new psychology and thinking protocol that profitably overrides weak-minded crowd psychology and group thinking. ...Here is that first Illuminati key: If America loses Earth’s final war, it will not lose because of Islamic irrationalities exploited by “God-is-Great” Osama bin Laden. Instead, America will lose because of Evangelical irrationalities exploited by “God-Bless-Everyone” George W. Bush. By pandering to Christian fundamentalists, President Bush won elections. However, by promoting repellently-irrational evangelical “certainties”, he unleashed secular backlashes aimed at sinking his presidency by keeping him from defeating genocidal terrorism. Yet, as Commander in Chief of the world’s single superpower capable of defeating the Islamic Jihadists, only President Bush can constitutionally and militarily prevent America’s defeat in Earth’s final war. ...If America and the civilized world lose the war to genocidal terrorists, then neither Pax Neo-Tech nor any other value of civilization will matter since the future for happy-and-successful conscious life will disappear. Yet, in the frame of today’s reality, religious-right conservatives are the backbone of America’s self-defense military and anti-terrorist effectiveness. Without their nation-defending/war-supporting attitudes, America would be unable to fight successfully much less win the war against genocidal Jihadists. ...Pax Neo-Tech maps the way out of that conundrum by profitably undermining the hatreds of both the left and right. Hate much; Lose all versus Hate not; Profit much Not only did the Iraqi-bribed/tyrant-infested United Nations along with socialist/fascist European elitists launch defeat-America attacks but so did phalanxes of Bush-hating American politicians along with their mediaand-celebrity soul mates.
Certain secular groups of Americans so blindly hate Bush that they purposely bolster an enemy dedicated to destroying America’s economy and murdering its citizens. Those Americans want Bush destroyed by defeating him in every possible way. For them, the worse the economy, the more suffering, the more dead Americans the better. Why? To destroy the God-promoting Bush presidency and end Republican control of Congress. Through their deeply-dishonest mainstream media epitomized by the New York Times, will those virulent Americans hammer President Bush into a fallen Oedipus Rex unable to win Earth’s final war? Will they deliver victory to suicide Jihadists focused on destroying America and Western Europe? *** As misguided and faulty as President George W. Bush or former President William J. Clinton may be, they are not haters. They roam not among the coalition of kill-em-all sociopaths. By contrast, as rhapsodic and brilliant as Bible/Qur'an/Torah thumpers or Socialist/Fascist/Green screamers may be, they are haters. They roam among the coalition of kill-em-all sociopaths aiming to defeat America and eliminate happy conscious life. Still, extremely defeating was President Clinton’s failure to implement rational self-defense actions and war-winning strategies throughout the 1990s during his two terms in office. That failure culminated with President Bush’s gaping error in not seeking a full, FDR-type Congressional Declaration of War on September 12, 2001. ...To survive, America must nullify all genocidal terrorism aimed at destroying America. For example, without nullifying a terrorist-enabling/nuclear-weaponizing Iran and the terrorist-portal Syria, not only America but also Western Europe will succumb to Islamic Jihadists. Most defeating, however, are hate-filled Americans instigating war-losing politics by judicializing politics while politicizing not only valid public-protection laws but also needed national-defense actions as they falsely claim that President Bush lied to cause the Iraqi war. Yet, unlike his accusers, Bush did not lie. Instead, he focused on meeting his supreme constitutional responsibility to protect American citizens and the nation’s economy from Iraqi-enabled Jihadists from ultimately destroying America and the world’s free-market economies. Yet, despite today’s clear-and-present danger, domestic Bush haters increasingly heap politically-correct appeasements, lethal military weaknesses, and economic damages -- debilitating wounds -- upon a rapidlyweakening America engaged in a life-and-death struggle to win Earth’s final war. Blunt Specifics Consider the war-losing destructions piled on a gullible public by Dean/Pelosi/Reid-type political rogues as well as by Bush-loathing journalists, Marxist-tenured academics, and neurotically-shrieking celebrities. Equally destructive, however, are the murderously-bizarre harms piled on a gullible public by Pat-Robertson-type Godsmiting psychopaths as well as by abortion-clinic-bombing born agains, secularist/atheist-reviling radio-talkshow hosts, and “kill-the-infidels” apocalyptic religious leaders. Now, consider blindly-following duped losers from the political left and right: Far-left political followers seek false moral superiority by, for example, applauding the immature harangues and profane diatribes by anointed Hollywood icons. Similarly, far-right religious followers seek false moral superiority by, for example, flaunting self-righteousness by embracing the vicious insanities of holy men ranging from Osama-bin-Laden-type mass murderers (let Jihadists kill ‘em all) to Falwell/LaHaye/Jenkins-type apocalyptic charlatans (let God kill ‘em all). Such left-and-right non-thinking allegiances march blind followers into sabotaging America’s self-defense war against bio/nuclear terrorisms -- a war that the United States can now lose easily and disastrously as Iran and Syria increasingly train, finance, and soon nuclear arm a world of apocalyptic terrorists. Finally, consider that in November 2005, Islamic micro-terrorists (see Coda #2, Pax Law) wantonly burned and ravaged cities across Jihadist-appeasing France to highlight Western Europe’s and perhaps America’s current
inability to win the War of Two Worlds. What will happen, for example, if France falls into Islamic-dominated chaos and anarchy? What will happen to France’s extensive arsenal of sophisticated nuclear weaponry replete with reliably-accurate delivery systems, including intercontinental ballistic missiles? Hopeless? Consider this scenario: Holy-warrior Jihadists are globally-dispersed and deeply-hidden. They exist everywhere and nowhere at the same time. In 1957, the then Senator John F. Kennedy presciently noted in Senate Resolution #153 the hopelessness of a war in which “the enemy was both everywhere and nowhere at the same time”. Adding to that hopelessness is the fact that tens-of-millions vengeful Muslim fundamentalists populating every area on Earth consider the Islamic terrorist as an awesome hero and avidly support each in his or her mission to destroy not only America but also to terminate the individual rights and happy freedoms radiating from Western cultures. ...Thus, with infidel-murdering Muslims crushing the United States from without and Bush-hating Americans collapsing the United States from within, will genocidal Jihadists ultimately rule over a demolished Western world? Waiting for the Coup de Grâce Realize that Jihadists dispersed throughout America will wait patiently for years as your polite-and-good neighbors. Then one day, they shall coldly murder you and your loved ones. Remember, such Jihadists silently prepared and waited for eight years from their first attempt to bring down the World-Trade Twin Towers in 1993 to successfully bringing them down in 2001, suddenly murdering two-thousand innocent value creators and producers. Today, America-embedded Jihadists quietly avoid lesser acts of terrorism to (1) prevent detection, (2) diminish America’s readiness, and (3) magnify their impact when they finally do strike. Thus, they will wreak maximum psychological, economic, and genocidal havoc on America. Finally, consider a scenario possibly underway right now: The Jihadists quietly plan, prepare, and train with endless patience. They wait for the Islamic signal to detonate perhaps old-Soviet or Pakistani black market obtained (or, perhaps soon, new Iranian obtained) nuclear, radiological, and/or bio-chemical devices smuggled across America’s porous borders and into its major cities. When fully ready and success is maximally assured, those terrorists will detonate their devices -perhaps this year, perhaps in five years. In the meantime, dishonest politicians, lawyers, judges, and journalists who are insanely weakening America’s intelligence-gathering and self-defense capabilities are enabling the Jihadists’ goal of destroying civilized life not only in America but also around the globe. For example, as the first part of the terrorists’ plan: They may detonate just one but probably two or three such devices simultaneously in separate cities, killing perhaps a million or more people while collapsing America’s economy and confidence. ...How can America defend itself from such attacks? Who, what, and where does America attack when no military or industrial targets exist to attack? What enemy exists to defeat, conquer, and over whom to claim victory? Realize that in World-War II, the ferociously-resisting leaders of Japan suddenly surrendered and quickly submitted to the unconditional demands of America after the nuclear destructions of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Today’s leaders of a seditiously-weakened America and Europe will likewise surrender and submit to Jihadists’ demands. When? Certainly after the obliteration of several American cities and perhaps a European city or two coupled with credible threats to kill civilians by the tens of millions with continual apocalyptic detonations across America and Europe.
Both America and Europe will then capitulate. With that surrender, the Jihadists will order Western infidels along with their armed forces, civilian personnel, and financial support out of the Greater Middle East -- including the state of Israel marked for extermination by nuclear-weaponizing Iran. The Jihadists can then overthrow and take over Middle-Eastern governments -- especially Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States. From their seizing control of the world’s economy-controlling oil production and reserves, religious-crazed Wahhabism sociopaths can sink any strategically-selected economy of the infidel Western World. Thus, they will begin their global-coercion plan by demanding open borders for Muslims. They will then aggressively populate Western cultures with Jihadists and their supporters. ...Thus, they will achieve their centuries-old goal of converting Western-World infidels into Muslims by killing those who resist. At the same time, those Jihadists will gain the financial means and political might to build and/or acquire undeterred arsenals of nuclear weapons and intercontinental delivery systems, perhaps even doomsday hydrogen bombs by overtaking, for example, France’s nuclear arsenal. The Jihadists can then turn their terrorist focus on finally clubbing and dragging Russia and Asian-Pacific countries, including China, into dark-age Islam to accomplish the their holy goal of ending free-will/free-choice life on Earth.
Pure Beauty Rising Hopeless? Not at all. For, today, Pax Neo-Tech rises not only to break the lethal grip of politics and religion, but also to detoxify the Jihadist “kill-em-all” meme. ...A universal civilization will then unfold under new-color banners of honest business, science, and art as described throughout Pax Neo-Tech. *** Nietzsche observed, “Man’s most enduring stupidity is forgetting what he is trying to do.” Pax Neo-Tech serves as the indelible reminder of man’s primary task and responsibility for achieving ever-expanding prosperity, health, and happiness here on planet Earth. With disturbing storms of sharply-cutting facts followed by unchecked sweeps of reality, Pax Neo-Tech shreds and nullifies the quadrangle of paired free-will/free-choice-destroying toxins. Those four venomous pairs comprise: (1) biases and prejudices, (2) faiths and ideologies, (3) religions and irrationalities, (4) politics and dishonesties. Together, they yield declining lives, lawless societies, and genocidal leaders. ...Can Neo-Tech nullify in time and on planetary scales those deadly toxins? Can man survive? Can he prevail? Man will not only survive; but he will prevail [quote from novelist William Faulkner’s 1950 Nobel-Laureate address] Pax Neo-Tech shows readers not only how to competitively survive, but also how to prosperously prevail. Indeed, this opus deploys a new Illuminati code that undermines and then obsoletes the 2500-year-old psychology lethally gripping Earth today. ...Harnessing that code unleashes raw honesty that dissolves the traps and snares woven from millennia of deceptions and mysticisms propagated by politics and religion. *** In 1933, the great depression brought acceptance of a single central idea by the American populace: Harness President Roosevelt’s (FDR’s) dubious progressive politics to prevent a communist or fascist takeover of America. Today, the threat of conscious-life extinction can bring acceptance of a single central idea by world populations: Replace dishonest politics and irrational religion with honest business and rational science to prevent an apocalyptic Islamic, Christian, Socialist, or Fascist takeover of today’s nuclear/bio-weaponized world. The replacement of politics and religion requires cracking the Illuminati Code. The final version of Pax Neo-Tech meets that requirement. How successful cracking that Code will be with individual readers and eventually with world populations are questions that Pax Neo-Tech cannot answer. Yet, as already experienced by many thousands of readers, Neo-Tech can boom the prosperity, health, and happiness of any individual reader via the 10-second “miracles”, digital bullets, and future-predicting dynamics flowing from Pax Neo-Tech. Quo Vadis Neo-Tech? Where are you going, Neo-Tech? Read Pax Neo-Tech once. Read it twice. Read it until you experience a quantum jump into a previously unknown existence that guarantees not only survival in the War of Two Worlds but also an ever-prosperous, happy future for you and your loved ones. ...To understand your coming new life, first consider the Keller/Sullivan WATER/reality breakthrough: The WATER/Reality Breakthrough From scarlet fever in infancy, Helen Keller plunged into a dark-and-silent dungeon. Thenceforth, she had no way to know or experience the world of sight and sound. Thus, in her early childhood, Helen lived as a trapped wild animal, never knowing a world beyond dark silence until “Miracle Worker” Anne Sullivan came into her
existence. ...After capturing and isolating that little wild beast, Anne worked daily, tirelessly for many long months seeking the key to Helen’s passageway out of a seemingly-inescapable world of dead-end silence and darkness. Then, one day as Anne repeatedly traced the letters W-A-T-E-R into Helen’s tactilely-sensitive hand while pumping cool water over her other hand, the little girl suddenly shrieked joyfully as she burst the confines of her silent darkness. Discovering for the first time a link between her mind and the outside world, she eagerly rushed into a completely new existence of intense learning, understanding, and knowing. Helen Keller had experienced a psychological shift of cosmic dimensions: Her conscious mind for the first time connected to the outside universe. Her psychology abruptly and profoundly changed. She had quantum jumped from being a wild animal engulfed in black ignorance to a hard-driving seeker of universal light as knowledge and understandings flooded in from her newly discovered world. With Anne Sullivan’s devoted tutelage, Helen relentlessly strove to read, write, and then speak as she unquenchably conquered her boundless new world. By 23 years of age, Helen Keller had written an international bestselling autobiography still in print today. The next year, in 1904, Helen graduated cum laude from Radcliffe College. She proceeded to become a world-renowned writer, speaker, celebrity, and the leading fund-raising advocate for the American Foundation for the Blind of which she was a permanent board member. In 1964, President Johnson awarded her the Medal of Freedom. ...Without sight or sound, Helen Keller had constructed a powerful connection to reality that often led to knowing beyond what others see and hear. *** For the past 2500 years, Earth’s populace has remained trapped in lethal cultures built upon the dark deceptions of politics and religion. Earthlings had no way to know or experience a natural life -- a continuous life of ever-expanding prosperity, health, and romance in a universe of honesty and rationality. Now comes Pax Neo-Tech to spark quantum jumps out of the psychological traps embedded everywhere in politics and religion followed by a Helen-Keller-type quantum jump into a luminously-free civilization comprising business, science, and art. The HONESTY/Reality Breakthrough When and how will you experience that quantum jump? Perhaps during a first, second, or third reading of Pax Neo-Tech, you will make the connection between open-ended power and raw honesty. Then, as did Helen Keller, you will experience a sudden clean break from a life-long entrapping matrix to experience a psychological shift of cosmic dimensions. For, at that moment, Pax Neo-Tech will have stamped the HONESTY/reality connection into your consciousness. You then can sweep away millennia of political/religious-driven deceptions imprisoning your mind to let rationality, wide-scope thinking, and future-predicting honesty endlessly enrich your life.
What will Happen to Governments and Nations? Nullifying politics and religion via business and science provides continuous wealth and health for oneself, for loved ones, and for society. Still, what will happen to governments and nations? Will they fail without politics and religion? Will anarchy and immorality reign? No. Instead, ever-better governments and ever-freer nations will evolve as constitutional republics with just-and-equitable laws. For, as explained in Scene 1, Neo-Tech dynamics competitively drive forward the global nullification of parasitical elites, criminals, and neocheaters who for twoand-a-half millennia created deceptive illusions for preying upon the ignorances of duped populations. Ironically, the most productive venue for the profitable flow of Neo-Tech dynamics will ultimately be across the Muslim world as well as in China, Japan (distribution of Japanese editions are already highly profitable and robustly expanding), India, Korea, and Russia. The decisive road map leading the populace and nations out of politics and religion and into business and science unfolds from Mark Hamilton’s stunning three-volume trilogy titled, Earth’s First Immortals due for publication in 2006. That fact-based novel also teaches in dramatic detail how each reader generates profits for self, loved ones, and society by competitively obsoleting politics and religion. ...From that publication will evolve worldwide educational dynamics for both adults and children. *** To personally reap immediate clean-sweep riches in Earth’s final war, the reader must now rendezvous with Pax Neo-Tech starting on the next page. Your Rendezvous with Pax Neo-Tech C'est Si Bon Clean-Sweep Riches Readers today reap power, profits, and romance from Illuminati knowledge rising from Pax Neo-Tech -- knowledge about which many initially dislike or disagree. As they continue reading, however, negative impressions fade as new facts continually combine into new integrations that generate ever-expanding wealth, health, and happiness. Realize that Pax Neo-Tech never tries to persuade readers of political, religious, or ideological positions. Such fixed positions are limited, thus ultimately lethal. By contrast, honesty and rationality are unlimited, thus eternally enriching. Never, therefore, is Pax Neo-Tech saying to read on and it shall persuade you of this or that fixed position. No, instead, this opus is saying to read on and you shall awaken to exclaim, “Oh, now I see why each view is stated in this or that unique way and then switches to an entirely-different view. ...Amazingly honest, deeply rational -- and incredibly profitable!” Keep reading and you shall discover Illuminati gems. ...Once supercharged with those gems, you will find yourself speeding along a brightly-lit superhighway toward clean-sweep riches. *** Pax Romana ruled 2000 years ago. Pax America rules today. Pax Neo-Tech will rule the future. Pax Neo-Tech brings readers of the political left, right, and middle into a bias-free, non-political reality that few imagined existed. Today, that reality provides a new psychology for replacing: (1) impoverishment with prosperity, (2) stagnation with romance, (3) hatred with camaraderie, (4) war with peace, (5) death with life. PRELUDE Sadly, some readers flee Pax Neo-Tech. They flee its honesty with glazed eyes and non-integrating minds. They escape its rationality with sad expressions. They struggle to maintain their status quo in a morbid old world.
…Those duped losers wait for God or Godot to show them the way. They wait for someone or luck to enrich them. They count on a nonexistent afterlife to reward them far from planet Earth. Happily, other readers absorb Pax Neo-Tech. They absorb its honesty with clear eyes and integrating minds. They harness its rationality with happy expressions. They create exciting futures in a new world. …Those informed winners wait for no God or Godot to show them the way. They wait for no one or luck to enrich them. They count on themselves to reap endless rewards right here on planet Earth. Each who peruses Pax Neo-Tech page-by-page makes the wide-scope discoveries for harnessing profitable predicting powers. With that power, readers direct streams of prosperity and romance into their lives. What is Pax? Pax is the melody of peace and prosperity, kindness and love, civility and romance. What is Neo-Tech? Neo-Tech simply means new techniques and new technologies. Neo-Tech, therefore, is neither liberal nor conservative -- nor anywhere in-between. Neo-Tech is neither leftwing nor rightwing -- nor anywhere in-between. It is, instead, a wide-scope integrating dynamic that harnesses raw honesty and rationality to profitably undermine and then nullify today’s 2500-year-old anticivilization spun from the dishonesties and irrationalities of politics and religion. Neo-Tech works not by promoting positives that chain one to the past, but by nullifying negatives that release one into the future. Neo-Tech works not by solving old problems, but by creating new opportunities. ...Neo-Tech works by recognizing that eternally-prosperous conscious life can never retreat into the past; it can only advance into the future. Neo-Tech is neither a philosophy nor an ideology. It fits no political, religious, or social category. Neo-Tech instead provides future-predicting abilities via the hidden Illuminati power called neothinking first revealed in Scene 1 coming next. ...As, however, the laws of Quantum Mechanics with its Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle prove, nothing can predict the future with absolute certainty. No absolutes exist in reality, much less in metaphysical philosophy. Still, the open-ended power of neothinking can shape and then control the present to reliably predict and then profitably control the future. What is Pax Neo-Tech? Pax Neo-Tech is the protocol for weaving matrices of honesty, rationality, and wide-scope accounting. Those matrices activate the future-predicting elements of consciousness -- wealth-creating elements that lie dormant in nearly every individual today. Pax Neo-Tech is pure beauty rising.
OVERTURE A manipulative matrix of politics, religions, and utopian philosophies has harmed Earthlings for 2500 years. Today, that dark-and-ancient matrix woven from deceptions shrouds billions of victims within clouds of ignorance, bleakness, and decline. Now comes Pax Neo-Tech weaving bright, new 21st-century matrices. Those slice-and-dice matrices of honesty and rationality free individuals from their entrapments. Yes, those razor-sharp matrices can shred every entrapping deception perpetrated upon conscious life. Thus, whosoever uses those matrices to shred and then clean sweep those deceptions into the trash bin of history gains Illuminati power yielding manifold enrichments in any positive-or-negative situation. Pax Neo-Tech also shreds one’s own personal biases, faiths, and certainties. Thus, unfortunately, many readers prematurely flee without ever experiencing the endless benefits flowing from shredding such selfdeceptions. Others seeking an authoritarian voice find none in Neo-Tech. They too flee back into their familiar millennia-old, authority-manipulated matrix. As a result, they remain stuck in stagnant biases, faiths, and certainties that continually shrink their lives toward null points. Realize that biases, faiths, and certainties are neither facts nor knowledge. Instead, they comprise a trio of burdens that only mislead and weaken the bearer. Consider Socrates’ implicit dictum: Clinging to biases and faiths -- past certainties -- means never progressing beyond the past. For example, to advance toward a modern future, physicists had to abandon their burden of “certainty”. They had to abandon their unshakable biases and faiths in Isaac Newton’s brilliant but obsolete laws of motion that imprisoned them in a deterministic world of fixed time and space. Thus, each had to break from strong opinions and beliefs of the past to enter the radically-new world of Albert Einstein's counterintuitive space-time relativity freed by an indeterminate world of quantum mechanics. If scientists and engineers had clung to their comfortable but false certainties of Newtonian physics, they never could have developed today’s super-advanced electronic/high-tech industries along with their everadvancing quantum/cosmic explorations. …Dogmatic certainties, ideologies, and biases block vision, creativity, and progress. People must continually abandon past beliefs to progress into spectacular new futures illuminated by Pax Neo-Tech. *** Are you ready to abandon a 2500-year-old, man-made matrix of deceptions woven from dishonesties and irrationalities? Are you ready to escape the parasitical-elite/neocheating world (explained next, in Scene 1) of politics, religions, and utopianisms? Are you ready to escape a black-hole world of genocidal terrorisms? If so, you are ready to (1) confront Pax Neo-Tech, (2) discover its glittering fields of diamonds that illuminate and then nullify that world of dark biases/prejudices/faiths, and then (3) create a world of riches/health/romance -- right here, right now, starting on the next page.
Scene 1 Are You Ready? Start by Looking Back Defending free speech in the nineteenth century, the English historian and champion of liberty, Lord Acton, identified how individualistic ideas most vehemently opposed by the Establishment became the enduring ideas of the future. He points to the Greek-philosopher Socrates and then to the historical-humanist Jesus. They were not political or religious leaders. They were sublime teachers. Both advanced ideas of the individual over the Establishment. …Thus, a threatened Establishment executed both men for impiety, though neither had harmed anyone nor infringed anyone’s natural rights. Indeed, a mob-unleashing Establishment executed Socrates and Jesus for their pro-individual/anti-establishment ideas. Today, however, Pax Neo-Tech flips their intangible illusions in imagined-or-ethereal realms into tangible benefits in a real world here on planet Earth. ...Pax Neo-Tech works through Neo-Tech. But, how does Neo-Tech work? Neo-Tech is a wealth-creating dynamic as implied in the preceding Prelude and Overture…and demonstrated throughout this Opus. To understand how Neo-Tech works -- how it flips the unreal into the real, how it flips losses into profits -- start by going back four centuries: During the early 1580s, in the back of a classroom at the University of Pisa, sat a young student, hands folded behind his head. He had discovered a new-dimension thinking process. As usual, he sat quietly smiling at the professors. Trapped in their special-interest closed boundaries, those professors feared that student. He knew less than those “learned” authorities. Yet, with ever-wider integrations combined with fully-integrated honesty, he outflanked them. ...His name was Galileo Galilei. To grasp the power and danger of non-biased, wide-scope integrations combined with fully-integrated honesty, go back 150 years before Galileo to one of the most heroic figures in history -- an illiterate, 17-year-old peasant girl: Joan of Arc. With a pure-and-unobstructed vision of freeing France from the conquering English, she outflanked and then overcame every seemingly-insurmountable obstacle. She outflanked each who blocked her way toward commanding an army. Starting with the lowest-level local officials, she persuaded everyone up through the ranks, through the nobility and military, to the Dauphin himself -- the would-be King of France. Persuaded by her unflinching vision and charismatic power, the Dauphin granted Joan command of an outnumbered-anddemoralized French army to break the critical siege of Orléans. …Inspiring her troops into fervent frenzies, she broke that siege in 1429, driving back the overwhelmingly-superior English army in one of the most-unlikely military victories in history. Her stunning victory at Orléans was followed by decisive victories in three subsequent battles. In each battle, her military strategy was impeccably-flawless and her use of artillery was uncannily-precise. How were such military achievements possible by an illiterate peasant girl with zero experience or knowledge of military tactics and artillery physics? Her near-flawless strategy came from wide-scope integrations that outflanked all others who were thinking in narrow-scope traditional ways. Joan was captured in 1430, imprisoned, and then put through a showcase, five-month trial by a fearfully-envious Catholic Church. The judges convicted her of heresy and sorcery. They then had her publicly burned alive in the marketplace at Rouen. …Joan defeated England, saved France, and had the Dauphin Charles VII crowned King when she was 18 years old. The authorities feared her power. Thus, the Church in collusion with both English and French politicians killed her when she was 19 years old. Now, back to Galileo. His wide-scope thinking rendered his professors’ knowledge, words, and writings
obsolete. Those academic authorities knew that; he knew that. Thus, sinking into denial about Galileo’s newlyuncovered knowledge, they pointedly avoided him and his facts. Fifty years later, “learned” authority Pope Urban VIII would prosecute Galileo in the Inquisitions for obsoleting Catholic-church dogma already undermined by Thomas Aquinas. …What happened later? Those obsoleted authorities faded from history. Joan of Arc and Galileo prevailed in history. Today, four centuries later, new-dimension thinking dynamics rise from Neo-Tech. Those Joan-ofArc/Galilean dynamics yield ever-wider integrations combined with fully-integrated honesty that renders “learned” authorities’ obsolete. *** Politics, religion, and philosophy rise from truths manipulated into illusions. Neo-Tech sweeps away those illusions. For example, consider the greatest delusion foisted by politicians -- “I’m compassionate. I have a heart. I’m going to use government to help the little guy”. Neo-Tech exposes them as neocheaters. As explained later in this first scene, neocheaters are camouflaged criminals who usurp unearned livelihoods by stealing and then redistributing wealth earned by others. From such hidden thefts, neocheaters glean unearned money, power, and praise. Existing on parasitism, those neocheaters have the coldest hearts and ultimately impoverish the ‘little guy’. They are frauds who make illicit gains by feigning compassion. Such neocheaters include crusading to-savejust-one-life-is-worth-it politicians, lawyers, clergymen, academics, journalists. They are not only hypocritical mountebanks, but they are hidden killers of innocent people. For every life they claim to help or save, they are responsible for the degradations and killings of countless innocent lives via corrupt political laws, destructive bureaucratic regulations, and propagating lethal dishonesties. Neocheating elites cause untold human sufferings and hidden deaths. Such parasites bring costs-of-living increases and decreasing standards-of-living to everyone. Their cold-hearted parasitisms bring impoverishments, starvations, and deaths -- especially to the world’s poorest populations. Smug, comfortably-ensconced, sound-good parasitical elites relentlessly sow sufferings and deprivations worldwide. Over their 2500-year history, those self-righteous neocheaters usurped their illicit livelihoods by harming and killing billions of innocent people -- many billions upon billions more than the open killings by wars, tyrants, and terrorists. Who will win Earth’s final war? Each side now has the means to vanquish the other: “Evil” has the means to vanquish good via political/religious/arbitrary laws combined with life-annihilating, bio/chemical/nuclear detonations. “Good” has the means to vanquish evil via business/scientific/universal laws combined with lifeenhancing neothinking explained later in this first scene. While no one knows who will win this war of two worlds, one question is answerable: What can win that war? Pax Neo-Tech can. What is Pax Neo-Tech about? It is not about good over evil. Instead, it is about sublimating dishonesty in honest people, irrationality in rational people, injustice in just people. As one reader identified, "Pax Neo-Tech is about trusting oneself to abandon dishonesties, irrationalities, and injustices." …Pax Neo-Tech works by undermining beliefs and faiths in bogus authorities such as politicians, celebrities, God, Allah, popes, bishops, priests, ayatollahs, imams, mullahs…and their Scriptures, Bibles, Hadiths, and Qur'ans. As did Socrates, Jesus, Joan of Arc, and Galileo, Neo-Tech threatens bogus authorities. It leaves them with no future regardless how great their seeming authority or power. Neo-Tech leaves them with no Homeric timê, Greek kleos, or Roman dignatas -- no honor, glory, or dignity. Neo-Tech shrinks them toward null points -- toward vanishing points.
Yes, indeed, Neo-Tech shrinks (1) ignorance and superstition, (2) orthodoxy and fundamentalism, (3) hatred and intolerance. Neo-Tech withers away the diseases of mysticism, irrationality, and dishonesty. Neo-Tech subverts the sociopathic duet of religion and politics. For, that duet sickens and then kills conscious life. The lethal sufferings spawned by that duet have no place or meaning in any future civilization of freedom, health, and prosperity. Discovering Earth’s Anticivilization During a publishing meeting in May 1992, a Neo-Tech author stipulated that the survival and flourishing of mankind requires propagating a single understanding among the populace. That understanding is this: Politics and religion never yield rationally-vital civilizations. Instead, they yield irrationally-lethal anticivilizations. For 2500 years, camouflaged criminals called neocheaters have conjured up and perpetuated anticivilizations that deliver decline and ultimate death to everyone. …Anticivilizations are unnatural and bizarre. They spiritually impoverish and then physically kill everyone. Such an understanding brings the corollary understanding that free business, science, and art yield open-ended prosperity, non-aging health, and romantic happiness. With Pax Neo-Tech, business and science increasingly nullifies politics and religion -- today's anticivilization -- point by competitive point.
Life in Earth’s Anticivilization At that same meeting, the Neo-Tech author outlined three major values in recognizing and then integrating the fact that essentially every conscious Earthling today lives in a 2500-year-old anticivilization built on a political/religious matrix of dishonesties and irrationalities. Those three values are: 1. A person gains a calm-and-benevolent acceptance of the fact that since about 500 BC, humans had no choice but to live, suffer, and die in a bizarrelyunnatural world -- in a politically-and-religiously ravaged anticivilization. 2. A person dramatically increases his or her toleration, understanding, and ability to function beneficently, prosperously, and happily in an anticivilization. 3. That person can then profit from essentially any positive or negative situation arising from an anticivilization. How? By harnessing Neo-Tech’s fullyintegrated honesty with wide-scope rationalities that undermine and then profitably exploit anticivilization deceptions. Such exploitations are processes of “creative destruction” within today’s dishonest-and-irrational political/religious anticivilization needed to build an honest-and-rational business/science/art civilization on Earth as described throughout Pax NeoTech. Vanishing Earth’s Anticivilization That author further explained how profitably replacing Earth’s political/religious anticivilization with a universal business/science civilization requires the following three changes: 1. Changed Views Earthlings live not in a civilization. They live in an anticivilization in which decline and death await every citizen. No one can dispute that fact. Neo-Tech, however, profitably flips dead-end political/religious views into open-end business/science views. 2. Changed Psychologies America’s founding fathers gained their wisdom not from arguing philosophy, preaching religion, or manipulating politics but from understanding secular natural law and factual historical knowledge back to classical Rome and Greece. America’s founders implicitly sought to sweep away the harmful psychologies flowing from religion, politics, and philosophy -- sweep away with natural law, the lessons of history, and common sense. Today, the first change required is neither political nor philosophical, but is psychological in evolving a universal civilization. With that psychological change, one feels neither hostile toward the anticivilization ‘evils’ of politics, religion, or philosophy…nor resentful about today’s necessity of living in an anticivilization. Instead, one first learns to understand an anticivilization, then to profit from it, and finally to nullify it. …Realize that a political/religious anticivilization and a business/science civilization are two separate entities with characteristics and laws as different as street fighting and composing symphonies.
3. Changed Thinking The power of consciousness comes not from today’s circular-analog thinking, but from tomorrow’s linear-digital neothinking. In 1981, Neo-Tech identified neothinking as a mystic-free/forward-moving digital process. The most-profitable form of neothinking today is bubble-control thinking. It involves viewing every segment of human knowledge and action on planet Earth as encapsulated in a 2500-year-old bubble of irrationality, mysticism, and criminality. Scene 3 shows how outside-the-bubble views yield perspectives that profitably outcompete those living within that bubble. How did that bubble of irrationality start? In fifth-century BC Greece, the populist-demagogue Pericles developed the art of hiding criminalities. He manipulated voters into supporting his security-ruining Peloponnesian wars and economy-ruining Parthenon projects. He fraudulently garnered unearned power and glory in the name of Athens. In the seventh-century AD, religious-demagogue Muhammad manipulated that bubble. He jelled the art of transferring criminalities into a long-range format. Emulating the cross-carrying Christian conqueror, Constantine the Great, Muhammad murderously conquered and then brutally plundered populations into submission. He fraudulently garnered unearned power and riches in the name of his conjured-up Allah. In the late twentieth century, political-demagogue Clinton climaxed the art of manipulating that bubble. He entrapped the populace into accepting dishonesty across every facet of life. Unlike Pericles and Muhammad, however, Clinton pursued no grand, mass-murdering vision. Instead, he would sink long-range America for nothing more than garnering power and titillation in the name of himself. *** Upon grasping Pax Neo-Tech through the eight explanations below, a person can induce many hundreds, if not thousands, of profit-generating bullets from the Neo-Tech literature. That person can then choose and pick -cherry pick -- just the right bullets to create and then rule almost any situation to his or her profitable advantage as illustrated in Coda #3. Pax Neo-Tech Eight EXPLANATIONS 1. Neo-Tech is the universal dynamic of conscious life. It is fully integrated honesty, uncompromised rationality, and wide-scope accounting. 2. Mysticism is the dishonesty disease that creates problems where none exists. Mysticism is the stupidity disease that has no redeeming values. Mysticism lethally blights human consciousness. Mystical beliefs and activities are attempts to escape objective reality -- attempts to escape from the terror of an anti-law/anti-justice ‘civilization’ -- an anticivilization. Going back in time, mysticism is the remnant of the ancient bicameral mind -- the hallucinating non-conscious mind. In the 1980s, Neo-Tech literature expanded, generalized, and then harnessed the bicameral-mind theories of the late Princeton University scholar, Julian Jaynes, concerning the origins of both consciousness and mysticism. Neo-Tech identifies mysticism as the number-one enemy of human life -- the number-one disease of the conscious mind -- the number-one global plague to cure. Mysticism is (1) the self-delusion that non-reality is real, (2) the immaturity of acting upon nothing as if it were something, (3) the seminal source of irrational behavior and criminal destructiveness. Mysticism yields criminal envy. It yields the mass murder of value creators by value destroyers as happened on September 11, 2001. Mysticism destroys life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. …The disease of mysticism will end conscious life on Earth if not cured. 3. Neocheaters are camouflaged outlaws who manipulate mysticisms -- mysticisms they have embedded and reembedded throughout the populace for 2500 years. With cynically-hidden force and fraud, neocheaters use
mysticism to glean power by keeping world populations entrapped in endless cycles of ignorance, destruction, and death. Neocheaters are found in nearly every quarter of life. The most-common and widely-harmful neocheaters, however, are political-and-religious leaders acting through insidiously-clever criminal minds. …Neocheaters are not new. Rather, they are hidden criminals newly discovered by Neo-Tech. 4. Neocheating arose from hidden criminal techniques discovered and harnessed twenty-five centuries ago by smoothly-lying, vote-capturing Pericles. Most self-serving politicos today promote him as a heroically-great statesman. With a silver tongue, he used sophistic rhetoric to maximize citizen involvement with government and politics. Then, through an unbridled democracy, lovable-cad Pericles usurped power and exercised corruptions via popular support on scales unknown to past kings and tyrants. …Pericles escaped pending criminal indictments by dying in 429BC from the plague. He, followed by his protégé nephew -- glamorous-traitor Alcibiades -- ended the Golden Age of Greece. Alcibiades was, however, indicted and paid for his crimes against Athenian citizens. Neocheating peaked 2500 years later with the smoothly-lying, vote-buying Clinton who ended the Golden Age of America. Most self-serving politicos today promote him as a wonderfully-compassionate benefactor. With a silver tongue, he used sophistic rhetoric to maximize votes from the parasitical classes. Then, through a feculent democracy, lovable-cad Clinton usurped power and exercised corruptions via tax-purchased votes on scales unknown to past presidents. …Clinton was impeached but escaped conviction via his supreme political guile used to sink a badly-misguided, religious-right prosecution. *** Among today’s most destructive neocheaters are politician-buying, class-action/tort lawyers. They drain billions from the economy and society while ravaging entire industries, businesses, and professions. Consider their egregious $200-billion asbestos tort swindle rife with perjury and fraud. Those tort-lawyer crimes unjustly destroy great companies while devastating their employees, retirees, and investors. …Such lawyers plunder America’s productive capital, investment funds, and retirement funds. As modern-day pirates, they pillage and destroy. They drain America’s vitality by turning daring entrepreneurs into fearful conformists. On the other side of class-action/tort lawyers are criminal defense lawyers. Among the important protectors of individual rights against government injustice are the Oscar-Goodman-type “mob” lawyers. By aggressively defending society’s most heinous criminals, those wrongly-criticized lawyers protect everyone’s individual-andconstitutional rights against prosecutorial abuses. Bypassing misguided popular opinion, those lawyers make governments and prosecutors honestly prove their charges within both the law and the constitution while building an important body of common-law protections. *** Next, consider the now-flagging industrial union leaders who gain wealth and power by corruption and force. They demagogically lead workers into despising and then attacking their employers as enemies. Harnessing dishonest government laws -- force-backed political laws -- those union leaders usurp power at everyone else’s expense. Backed by those politically-coerced laws that allow illicit force, such union leaders undermine the very businesses that most-effectively develop, maintain, and advance the livelihoods of their employees. Thus, such union leaders dupe their members into becoming less competitive, less desirable, and less secure. Then, through non-racist, pan-national business justice, those duped union workers increasingly lose their security and jobs to more-competitive, more-deserving workers globally -- to the net benefit of all economies and human well-being. Gone today are the original trade unions and their leaders such as Samuel Gompers who genuinely advanced the well-being of laborers and craftsmen without damaging and often benefiting their employers. Thus, anti-business unions today are losing their power as they shrink toward irrelevance. ...Yet, rapidly rising today in
virulent power are socialistic public-service unions that drive governments into increasingly costly, inefficient, and ineffective services from their non-privatized subway-and-bus systems to non-privatized trash collections. Most heinous, however, are the major teacher unions that gain power through their politicallymanipulated government laws and regulations that degrade education and damage children. Those union teachers generally leave children poorly educated while stifling their futures, especially among the least-privileged, mostneedy children. Equally heinous are today’s tenured marxist/fascist professors who inculcate formative youth with anti-free-thought/politically-correct dishonesties. Such malicious ‘educators’ corrupt the minds and warp the souls of America’s most-gifted, most-privileged youth. By contrast, the most effective sources of education today come not from teacher unions, public schools, universities, or governments but from free markets -- from profitable business dynamics. Two examples are the Internet brain extenders, www.google.com and www.gurunet.com. Another example is the Teaching Company, which markets a wide variety of lectures by outstanding, honest-minded university professors in widely diverse areas of knowledge. Neo-Tech readers are encouraged to visit and order educational products from its website www.TEACH12.com. Often the most valuable lectures are from those professors and subjects about whom or which the listener has the most bias against, the least interest in, and/or the least knowledge about. Continuous creativity, achievements, and prosperity depend on ever-expanding education -- both self-taught and formal. ...Neo-Tech harnesses the supreme value of honest-and-rational education. *** Finally, consider the 1990s-spawned business neocheaters who destroyed major companies through accounting machinations. They criminally gleaned obscene pay along with unearned bonuses and stock options. They gleaned those riches for what? For bankrupting their companies while wiping out shareholder equity via new-era, dot.com business pathologies. Such ersatz businesspeople abetted by their complicit lawyers and accountants operated not as hard-working business executives but rather as easy-route political manipulators. With political bribes throughout the 1990s, they scammed billions from investors while damaging or ruining the lives of innocent employees, retirees, and investors by the millions. The greatest damage inflicted by the 1990s-spawned CEO outlaws is the witch-hunt they ignited toward honest but aggressive businesses, creative managements, and daring entrepreneurs. Consider, for example, mega-valuecreator Martha Stewart. She was shattered via bogus insider-trading accusations driven by sanctimoniouslydishonest politicians and politically-ambitious prosecutors. Also, consider one of the greatest value creators of the 20th century, General Electric CEO Jack Welch. The media enviously savaged him for what he honestly, justly earned. He earned every penny of his compensation. In fact, he deservedly earned much more than he was ever paid. Recognize the difference: Stewart-and-Welch-type business CEOs create and build great values for investors, employees, and society. By contrast, Enron-and-WorldCom-type political CEOs loot and destroy great values belonging to investors, employees, and society. 5. Neothinking: Pax Neo-Tech changes how one thinks and acts. That changed thinking -- that new genre of thinking -- is called neothinking, which means digital freethinking used to profitably predict the future through the laws of nature. …Neothinking harnesses honest, wide-scope universal thinking to profitably outflank dishonest, narrowscope anticivilization thinking. Wide-scope Galilean/Joan-of-Arc type neothinking captures and assembles widely-scattered puzzle pieces to reveal the predictive power woven throughout natural events. Consider another type of new-color neothinking: Vincent van Gogh's swirling dot-and-dash yellow flurries that outreach and outflank other artists in emotionally
revealing the warm loveliness of nature. Also, consider Jackson Pollock’s far-reaching, spontaneous drippaintings creating gorgeous soul-revealing fractal patterns that outflank other artists by activating the beauty and order hidden in nature’s seeming chaos. Thus, today, each painting of van Gogh and Pollock commands many millions of dollars. Neothinking comes not from man’s automaton animal brain. Instead, it comes from the natural use of man’s volitional conscious mind. Wide-scope neothinking embraces germane facts available only from beyond biases and agendas -- new facts that allow clairvoyant visions of the future. …As Socrates implied, Go wherever the facts lead. By contrast, narrow-scope anticivilization thinking is unnatural -- not a natural part of conscious thinking as explained in Aria #3, Liberating our Quantum Consciousness. Such anticivilization thinking leaves people trapped in closed bubbles of manipulated truths and dishonesties. Thus entrapped, they never know what is actually happening outside their non-reality bubbles. …As Plato implied: They are trapped in their shadowy caves. In other words, with the wide-scope neothinking of a Galileo or Joan of Arc, one can escape his or her anticivilization trap to out-predict, outflank, and thus outcompete those entrapped within their own narrow, biased slices of life. For, in crucial aspects of life, such entrapped thinking becomes dishonest, impotent, or erroneous…or all three, sometimes grossly so. One example of such grossly-erroneous thinking glares from the common acceptance of progressive taxes -force-backed redistributions of earned income and capital (versus non-force consumption taxes). Without destructive income taxes, capital-gains taxes, and irrational government regulations, prosperity would expand without limits. In such a free-enterprise boom, sales-tax revenues would also expand without limits, allowing the consumption-tax percentage against the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to continually shrink as the percentage of improper-and-unnecessary government spending declines toward zero. Consider also how replacing the onerous filing of income taxes with a simple sales tax would bring debt-liquidating prosperity to prevent an otherwise inevitable real-estate-bubble collapse and a forced debt-liquidation recession or depression. …Percentage-wise, the working classes would benefit the most by eliminating all income taxation on individuals and businesses. For, income taxation destroys the future -- destroys job-and-wealth-creating earnings, savings, investments, capital, entrepreneurial opportunities, and the most-precious commodity -- time. Ultimately, only competitively earned income continually improves both short-range and long-range human life. Only competitively earned income provides net-productive investment capital. Only competitively earned income generates net advances in prosperity, business, jobs, education, well-being, health, science, art, and romantic happiness. *** Escaping the anticivilization requires discovering the whole spectrum of conscious life. In an anticivilization, people seldom consider facts beyond their personal closed-agenda ‘realities’ and closed-thinking biases. Trapped inside their own bubbles, they are blown here and there by the winds of political, religious, and philosophical manipulations. Without wide-scope thinking, they become servants to neocheaters while drifting about not knowing where they are or where they are going. 6. Total Victory = Infinite Justice = Infinite Riches: The word “infinite” is not real or graspable in physical reality. Yet, “infinite” becomes real and graspable from mathematical perspectives in terms such as infinite series and infinite sum. Similarly, “infinite” becomes real and graspable from Neo-Tech perspectives in terms such as infinite justice and infinite riches. For, by applying Neo-Tech to a universal civilization, both infinite justice and infinite riches become the necessary metaphors for first understanding and then achieving forever-young, foreverprosperous, forever-happy lives.
7. Create -- Outcompete -- Flourish: During the course of a conscious mind engaging Pax Neo-Tech, the brain’s circuitry reconfigures into a mind that can create an ever-more prosperous, healthy, and romantic life. After perusing each page in numerical order, the reader experiences a final integration -- a gestalt-like epiphany that illuminates the entire Neo-Tech spectrum to reveal the endless riches, youthful health, and exciting romance available to conscious life right now, right here on planet Earth. 8. Nature’s Quintessential Secret -- Cassandra’s Secret: Conscious life yields eternal wealth, health, and romance. …Pax Neo-Tech unlocks that secret by sweeping away 2500 years of politics, religion, and philosophy. Are you ready to start sweeping? Scene 2 Start Sweeping! The Clean Sweep begins with One Person’s Story Since childhood, the aesthetic love of my life was New York City -- lower Manhattan -- the Battery and Financial District. As a child on the stern of the Staten Island Ferry, I saw a mighty fist of power and wealth rise -- a fist of stark beauty with the Empire State Building as a towering backdrop. Framed by the Statue of Liberty on the starboard side and the Brooklyn Bridge jutting eastward rose a forest of indelible skyscrapers. …I saw majestic people among the cityscape of Battery-Park Manhattan as much a part of nature as majestic elks among the landscape of north-woods America. Being one with nature, I joyfully loved both. That love kindled anew years later while again standing on the stern of the Staten Island Ferry now flanked off its portside bow by the new Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Lower Manhattan had birthed the two most-magnificent jewels of universal business, capitalism, and prosperity to grace planet Earth -- the soaring, glittering Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. …My soul had been baptized in the miracle of business, science, and art. And, now, my soul was confirmed in the steel, concrete, and glass of that soaring Icarus. Thenceforth, whenever contemplating that marvelous art, I felt at one with everything that was good and exciting about life. Today, stretching ten feet wide and four-feet high across the wall above my bed, glitters a sculpted glass-andmirror model of lower Manhattan reflecting the glory of those Twin Towers. That image reflects back and forth with brilliantly colored flashes from the opposite fully-mirrored wall of my bedroom. …Each night, my aesthetic soul-mate twin towers along with my romantic soul-mate wife smile at me before I sleep. And, each morning my two loves happily greet me when I awake. Later, to my business office I go. Upon entering, photographic art by David M. Brown greets me. Professional artist Brown, laying his back against the base of the North Tower in 1984, captured a spectacular, full-height shot of both towers at sunrise. That art is titled Soaring Intelligence. The other view titled Nature Conquered is from atop the World Trade Center. That breathtaking sky shot captures a never-again-to-be-seen perspective of Manhattan highlighted by the mighty Brooklyn Bridge. On September 10, 2001, I celebrated my birthday surrounded by the happiness and love of my family, my work, my business. Early the next morning, I arose with energy and passion renewed by the fresh sight of my sparkling twin towers and the loveliness of my sleeping wife. After my daily four-mile run, I drafted an article about lasting justice and prosperity for both Palestinians and Jews via business and science superseding religion and politics. Then I turned on TV for CNBC business news. An image appeared. I froze. The aesthetic love of my life -- my aesthetic soul mate -- what happened! Midst billows of white smoke, the South Tower was missing -- gone! And, the North Tower was burning! Was I dreaming a ghastly nightmare? I rushed to the bedroom and fetched my wife. Would she see the same image? We both stood agape. Her stunned silence confirmed the reality of my senses. Minutes later, the burning North Tower abruptly pancaked to the
ground, leaving a 110-story shaft of black smoke. Huge waves of thick gray dust rolled from a terrible void carved in the heart of Manhattan. …What took a decade of artistic business brilliance to create and Herculean engineering efforts to build was gone -- reduced in seconds to a million-ton mountain of gnarled rubble by haters of freedom and prosperity -- destroyed by envious losers incapable of competitively creating or producing values for others and society. Tears blurred my vision. My beloved skyline of New York City was unbelievably mutilated. My sustaining image of the best in human life was gone. The best in human life? Seconds later, a much-greater, unimaginable horror filled me. I sank to the sofa crying in pain as my loving wife held me tight. A world of precious value producers perished before my eyes! I had just witnessed thousands of the world’s great value creators murdered by homicidal envy and religious insanity. Those murdered crème-de-la-crème value creators -- my dearest friends -- were the unrecognized, the denigrated, the abused heroes of life trapped in an envy-ridden anticivilization. Through their highly-integrated, Cantor-Fitzgerald-type thinking skills, however, they generated each month more life-enhancing values for others and humanity than they themselves consumed in their lifetimes. They generated more competitive values and productive jobs for others and society than all the force-and-fraud-promoting religionists, politicians, and bureaucrats combined -- more than all the envy-snarling, business-hating professors, politicians, celebrities, and demonstrators combined. From deep within my mind, a plan arose -- a plan to nullify neocheaters who add only debits to society -neocheaters who spawn professional value destroyers and genocidal terrorists. That plan nullifies those who exist via religious-and-political iniquities as well as those who bleed, pillage, and kill the value producers to garner unearned fame, glory, and livelihoods. …I had a job to do. I wiped the tears from my face, went to my office, and started writing. I began writing Pax Neo-Tech. Filled with pain, this is what I wrote first: “Today, September 11, 2001, religious jihadists ripped open the beating heart of freedom and prosperity. Economic destructions will now come. Next comes bio/chemical, radiological, and finally nuclear devastations. Without a solution, Americans and ultimately everyone will suffer terribly and then die unnecessarily.” …Four months later, I wrote: The Clean-Sweep Solution Blame not success -- failure is the cause: Blaming America’s support of Israel for the acts of genocidal terrorists is a deadly error. Israelis today generally act from the highest obligation and moral right -- selfdefense and physical survival. Israel, in 2002, is the only relatively-free, socially-happy, economically-successful country midst a sea of generally non-free, socially-miserable, economically-failed Arab/Muslim countries. Also, realize that Israel comprises a tiny population of happy competitive winners surrounded by huge populations of miserable uncompetitive losers. By enviously blaming success, the losers will bury the winners -- then both shall perish. Blaming Israel for Islamic jihads is one of the most destructively-false, humanity-threatening canards in history. Islamic jihads are designed to destroy not Israel but to destroy the infidel Western Civilization. Israel is simply a convenient rallying cry for certain Jihadists as were the Jews for Hitler. Islamic terrorists have killed many times more innocent citizens in their own Muslim/Arab countries than in all other countries combined. Consider the countless thousands of innocent citizens murdered by Muslim terrorists in Algeria, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Philippines, and Turkey. In Algeria alone, Muslim
terrorists slit the throats of 100,000 fellow citizens. Then, the world stood silent as Sudanese Muslims murdered a million of their fellow countrymen. Still, more serious: Saddam Hussein, a Muslim/Stalinist tyrant, murdered countless thousands of his own countrymen to retain and expand his personal power. Now, in 2002, he aims to become the major financier and weapons supplier for worldwide terrorists as he currently finances suicide terrorists in Israel. He is determined to destroy America in the years ahead. Make no mistake, Islamic terrorists financed and supplied by Iraq along with Iran, Syria, and North Korea will ultimately kill Americans by the millions and destroy the Western World economies. Make no mistake; if not nullified, Islamic fundamentalists enabled by a host of hostile nations led by Iraq will destroy America’s freedom, prosperity, and happiness, be it in five years or in ten years. Islam is not a religion of beauty, peace, and love as politically-correct politicians, journalists, academics, PBS/NPR, and President Bush suicidally assert. It is a religion of death, as ultimately is every religion. Islam’s most basic and uncompromising tenets from its scriptures promote intolerance, hate, and war (or jihads) in demanding mass conversion or mass death of infidels -- just as early Judeo/Christian scriptures demand. In the seventh century, warrior Muhammad conjured up the violently-criminal Muslim religion from Judaism and Christianity. Then came the shining 900-1300 AD period of prosperous Muslim toleration and enlightenment, especially in Spain and Iraq. In fact, that great business/science/art Muslim culture saved, preserved, and then resurrected the works of classical Greece to spark Western Civilization into the Enlightenment. Since then, however, Islam declined into its origins of a death-dealing weapon of criminality and terror. …Today, the cult sect of Saudi Wahhabism explicitly expresses Islam’s genocidal ferocity that lurks beneath every religion. Pro-joy, pro-wealth, stoic philosopher Seneca (4BC-65AD) identified that murderous ferocity is born out of envy and weakness -- birthed from the failure of losers to live rational, happy, value-producing lives. Today, the murderously-ferocious, envy-driven Wahhabism of cave-dwelling Osama bin Laden obliterates all vestiges of the cultural, scientific, mathematical, and artistic achievements of secular/tolerant Muslims during the Middle Ages. That zenith of Muslim culture occurred at the nadir of Christian culture that genocidally plundered, slaughtered, and beheaded Muslims until Saladin, the gallantly-tolerant Muslim general from Iraq, defeated the psychopathically-intolerant Christian knights in the Levant. …Today, the situation reverses with Bush, the gallantly-tolerant Commander-in-Chief from America, striving to defeat psychopathically-intolerant Muslim terrorists worldwide. *** Islam cannot fundamentally be reformed. Neither can Christianity or Judaism, despite previous so-called reformations. Instead, Neo-Tech must nullify religion, politics, and much of philosophy that ultimately yield destruction, criminality, and death. Nullifying Religion The destructive manipulations of a mind-created Allah, God, and Yahweh along with a man-created Qur'an, Bible, and Torah generate seas of mysticisms and hoaxes yielding (1) dishonesties and irrationalities, (2) frauds and manipulations, (3) wars and genocides.
“Allah is Great!” Muslims cry while killing the innocent. They are the fundamentalists. They are the followers of intolerance and irrationality. They detonate their own children in obeying God’s command. With piousness, they become mass killers. With righteousness, they murder the world’s value creators and competitive producers. They bury liberty and freethinking. They commit their crimes in the name of God. …They kill happy, healthy life. “Praise the Lord!” Christians cry while killing the innocent. They are the fundamentalists. They are followers of intolerance and irrationality. They drown their own children in obeying God’s command. With piousness, they become pedophiles. With righteousness, they murder abortion doctors and bomb family-planning centers. They block stem-cell/cloning businesses and sciences. They commit their crimes in the name of God. …They kill happy, healthy life. What about Jews? Yes, today, exist Jewish fundamentalists who murder in the name of God. But, today, Jews comprise perhaps the world’s highest percentage of secular humanists and the lowest percentage of criminal fundamentalists. Thus, Jews as a whole outcompete and achieve greater successes than beclouded Christians and duped Muslims. Three millennia ago, however, many Jews were as intolerant and murderous as many Muslims are today. In fact, the Jewish Old-Testament Bible teaches the same commands from God to plunder and kill infidels, as does its descendant -- the Qur'an. God’s Biblical command to collapse the great walls of Jericho so Joshua and his roving gang of Jewish terrorists could kill the infidels, loot their possessions, and reduce their peaceful, business/farming city to rubble is a vivid example of the murderous criminalities promoted by the ancient Jewish God. What was the city of Jericho? It represented the most enduring city ever -- surviving seven millennia until destroyed by the Jews in the second millennium BC. It was the first great, prosperous-and-peaceful farming/business community in the prehistoric world. Jericho helped birth and evolve the epochal agriculture revolution during the Neolithic Age, allowing wandering tribes to settle into stable civilizations. The legendary walls of Jericho? They were the anti-ballistic-missile defense shields of the Neolithic Age. And, like most Americans today, the productive-and-prosperous citizens of Jericho had no interest in wars, conquests, or looting. Their interests dwelled in peaceful production of surplus foods and goods to voluntarily trade with their surrounding world. They, however, grew tired of marauding tribes constantly invading and looting their prosperous city. Thus, they became the great wall builders of the Neolithic Age so they could live in peace and deliver values to others via free-choice business. Few Jews today revere Joshua. Yet, modern-day Christian fundamentalists and evangelicals seized the cudgel in revering Joshua. A favorite ‘campfire’ song of children in Christian summer camps and Sunday schools praises God’s blessed event of tumbling down the great walls of Jericho so Joshua and his terrorist thugs could slaughter and loot Jericho’s infidels -- peaceful farmers and innocent businesspeople. Christian children by the millions today happily sing praises to God for reducing the world trade center of Jericho to rubble while murdering the infidels trapped inside. Muslim children by the millions today happily sing praises to Allah for reducing the world trade center of New York to rubble while murdering the infidels trapped inside. …What is the difference? Pope Urban II promised remission of sins and an immediate ride into an eternal, sex-filled paradise for those who died by killing infidels. Thus, Christian crusaders ten centuries ago joyfully died while mass-murdering infidels. Muhammad promised an immediate ride into a licentious eternity for those who died by killing infidels. Thus, Muslim crusaders today joyfully die while mass-murdering infidels. …What is the difference?
Throughout history, beliefs in the religious Gods of Jews, Christians, and Muslims yielded mass criminalities, hatreds, and murders. Likewise, beliefs in the secular Gods of populism, socialism, and and fascism yielded the same mass criminalities, hatreds, and murders. Beliefs or faiths in any God or ‘higher authority’ -- ethereal or secular -- ultimately destroy self-reliant human life and romantic happiness. For a history of religious criminality along with religious slaughter of the innocent in the name of God, see: http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/james_haught/holy.html. Nullifying Politics Pericles and Clinton are the bookends to Earth’s 2500-year-old anticivilization politics. How? Duped voters cheered “might-makes-right” Pericles’ war-making rhetoric against peace-seeking Sparta. For short-term gains, those voters cheered Pericles’ short-term politics. But, they were cheering for the long-range destruction of Greece’s economic well-being and physical security. ...By undermining Solon’s matchless law-overman achievement, political-genius Pericles ended Greece’s golden age. Duped voters cheered “I-feel-your-pain” Clinton’s Potemkin rhetoric about his stock-market bubble economy and budget surpluses. For short-term gains, those voters cheered Clinton’s short-term politics. But, they were cheering for the long-range destruction of America’s economic well-being and physical security. ...By undermining America's founding fathers’ matchless United-States-Constitution achievement, political-genius Clinton ended America’s golden age. …How? He amiably finessed the public into accepting sub-rosa dishonesty in nearly every facet of life, especially in the hidden violations of the US Constitution. His cynical political-correctness dramatically undercut America’s military, intelligence, and police effectiveness. As described in Coda #1 (Outtake Nugget #5), Clinton not only subverted America’s physical security, but time-bombed America’s economic health that brought a major stockmarket crash, a recession, and possibly a debt-liquidation depression later in this decade -- sometime after the 2004 elections -- followed perhaps by a printing-press inflation. Still, the Clinton era yielded significant positives: It yielded greater secular-humanist tolerations and freedoms than recent Republican eras. Consider that the theistic Republican administration of Ronald Reagan violated the First-Amendment rights of free press by violently attacking and physically destroying in 1986 the procloning, pro-choice, secular-humanist activities of the profoundly-valuable I&O Publishing Company. By contrast, the Democrat administrations of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton never interfered with the First Amendment rights to free press and the publishing of impious Neo-Tech ideas. As described above, egregious attacks on secular humanism occurred under the theistic wing of President Reagan’s administration. Reagan himself, however, generally performed admirably. Most important and beneficial, he significantly lowered and leveled progressive income taxes to create a genuine economic boom in America. Also, his brilliant attack on Libya and Muammar Gadhafi provided the model for the most-effective way to deal with state-sponsored terrorism against America -- a leader-decapitation model -- to achieve maximum longrange results with minimum costs and casualties. And, hail Reagan, along with the heroic anti-Stalinist stance of Pope John Paul II, for collapsing the “evil” Soviet Empire.
With that collapse of tyranny, Reagan perhaps contributed more to world freedom and prosperity than did any person since the founding fathers established a free-and-independent America two centuries earlier. …Ronald Reagan’s achievements were via peaceful, free-enterprise dynamics -- without a shot fired, without an innocent life lost. For that, he deserves a Mount Rushmore dedicated just to him. A much-less attractive Republican era was that of tax-raising, mystical skull-and-bones G.H.W. Bush with his pontificating morality-czar William J. Bennett desiring to strip American atheists of their citizenships. Yet, still, hail G.H.W. Bush for (1) his genuine bravery in World-War II and (2) his masterful 1991 Gulf-War orchestration that swiftly concluded with minimum civilian-and-allied casualties in temporarily saving free-world economies from an Iraqi-led/Muslim-oil death grip on Western Civilization. By contrast, his son, President George W. Bush, rather than being an intolerant “true-believer” or infidel-hater, expresses equality with, respect toward, and equal rights for believers and nonbelievers alike. Thus, unlike with his father or Ronald Reagan, Neo-Tech authors are currently comfortable with non-lawyer, non-bigoted businessman G. W. Bush as President. Now, back to the other side: President Clinton courageously overcame fierce resistance from labor unions, Naderites, the Greens, Perot/Buchanan-type Populists, demagogic Senator Fritz-Hollings, and ex-Ku-Klux-Klan Senator Robert C. Byrd to fashion the outstanding achievement of his administration -- the enactment of NAFTA and the substantial expansion of global free trade driven by the opposition party -- the Republicans. Plus, credit him for his role in major welfare reform spearheaded by Republicans. Also, salute Clinton for his unyielding stand on partial-birth abortions of no-value, non-conscious-life fetuses that endanger the survivals and well-beings of invaluable, conscious-life women. Plus, give Clinton a pass for avoiding forced servitude in a politicized, no-intention-to-win Vietnam War. One can even salute Clinton’s pardon of businessman Marc Rich who broke no objective laws but was subjected to prosecutorial abuse by a U.S. Attorney trying to emulate politically-motivated Rudolph Giuliani’s 1980s dishonestand-unjust prosecution of invaluable financier, Michael Milken. …On the other hand, if Clinton took bribes for Rich’s or anyone else’s pardon, he must be indicted for felony crimes. Still, regardless of positives or negatives reflected by any individual at any particular time, everyone is entrapped in a self-destructive anticivilization based on criminal politics, irrational religions, and dishonest philosophies. So, what should one do about an anticivilization facing its lethal dénouement? What to Do Earth’s first conceptual historian, Herodotus (484-430BC), identified at the close of Greece’s Golden Age that success comes not with what is presented, but rather with what is done with what is presented. Thus, today, change 3000 years of presented history by de-politicizing government and breaking religious authority. Nullify political/religious-wrought laws that neocheaters and parasitical elites manipulate to gain unearned riches and destructive powers. Bring forth honest laws that protect individual life, property, and contract. Bring forth just laws -- commonsense laws -- natural secular laws that bring peace, prosperity, and happiness.
Martin Luther King identified in his 1963 “Letter from the Birmingham Jail” that just laws rise from natural laws -universal laws. In parallel, Neo-Tech identifies that just laws rise from objective reasoning of honest people discovering and obeying nature-created reality. By contrast, unjust political-and-religious laws are arbitrary laws that rise from the subjective whims of dishonest lawmakers and religious leaders conjuring up and then enforcing their self-serving dictates. Two-and-a-half millennia ago, Sophocles in his Antigone was the first to recognize the supremacy of universal natural law. Concepts of natural law, rights, and justice subsequently evolved through Socrates, Aristotle, Cicero, Cato, Seneca, the Magna Carta, Aquinas, Sidney, Locke, Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill -- even Baruch Spinoza with his universal man and Immanuel Kant with his universal laws. And, finally, Thomas Jefferson climaxed natural law in his Declaration of Independence by recognizing the unalienable rights of each individual to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Natural law and individual rights culminate with the Constitution of the Universe as printed in Aria #1 following Scene #3. Also, printed in Aria #1 is Cicero’s definition of natural law from his book, On the Republic, published in 51 BC. *** By understanding Pax Neo-Tech along with Pax Law detailed in Coda #2, one can understand the role of George W. Bush to America’s survival and prosperity. His stealth power lies in nearly everyone underestimating his hidden abilities. Look beneath his occasional bumbling of words. Aided by his uncanny political advisor, direct-marketing genius Karl Rove, President Bush quietly removes obstacles to fulfill his responsibility of protecting the lives, properties, and prosperity of American citizens. However, to prevent terrorists from destroying America, President Bush must especially overcome Americancitizen saboteurs. He must overcome socialist/fascist politicians along with their government-loving/businesshating parasitical elites, celebrities, journalists, and academics. If Bush fails, they will destroy his presidency and ultimately destroy America. Yes, indeed, Bush-hating journalists and anti-business elites relentlessly work to destroy Bush’s effectiveness as a low-tax, pro-business president and a terrorist-defeating, pro-freedom Commander-in-Chief. Thus, they work to destroy America’s economic future, precious freedoms, and physical survival. Are President Bush and Karl Rove shrewd enough to exploit those saboteurs’ hatreds and dishonesties to drive, for example, the obstructionist leadership out of power -- namely Senate leader Tom Daschle and House-ofRepresentatives leader Dick Gephardt -- while winning the 2004 presidential election? Or, will the relentless hatred-driven attacks ultimately destroy Bush, Rove, and America? *** For America to peacefully survive and prosper over the long-term requires achieving four Neo-Tech goals: (1) outcompeting and then nullifying the hatreds, dishonesties, and irrationalities throughout religion, politics, education, and business, (2) protecting individual life-and-property rights at all levels of government and society, (3) abiding by commonsense secular natural law, and (4) establishing the sanctity of legal contracts. Neo-Tech begins by stating principle firmly then applying it widely and strategically, not narrowly and impulsively. If principle cannot be implemented immediately, Neo-Tech states the principle and then works toward the best opportunity to implement it -- be it in a year, in ten years, or even much longer. …Consider two germane
property-right principles unlikely to be implemented at this time in mid 2002 -- principles that ultimately must be implemented not just for ever-expanding prosperity but for conscious-life survival: Example #1: Under universal natural law, return illegally confiscated oil fields, refineries, and other stolen private properties to their legitimate owners, regardless of nationality. Those rightful owners are, for example, the discoverers, financiers, developers, and stockholders of oil properties from whom their properties were unilaterally nationalized, illegally seized, coerced into inequitable contracts…or had legal contracts abrogated. …Send in the “sheriff’s posse” to repossess those illegally-held properties. Note, however, oil properties that were non-coercively purchased or contracted cannot be legally repossessed. Lawful business owners controlling Arabian/Persian oil production would not only diminish Arab/Muslim economic-and-physical threats to America and the world, but would keep the oil flowing to protect and enhance economies worldwide. Moreover, the oppressed Arab/Muslim economies would benefit the most as cash-deprived political-and-religious despots lost their illicit power. Oil revenues could then flow into economic benefits for creative-and-productive citizens and businesses in those newly-freed countries rather than into palaces and weapons for criminal tyrants who finance and supply international terrorists. Ultimately, bypass dependence on hydrocarbon fuels by steadily, massively increasing the cleanest, cheapest, safest source of energy -- nuclear energy -- first by fission energy, then maybe someday by fusion energy. Additionally, pollution-free nuclear energy would be required to produce electrolytic hydrogen cheaply enough to make economically-feasible fuel cells for vehicle propulsion and other heavy-duty energy uses. Such property-rights justice combined with terminating the Republican/Religious-right “war on drugs” with its irrational anti-drug laws (as were their disastrously-irrational, religious-right Prohibition Laws eighty years before) would eliminate major money flows to tyrants and terrorists, worldwide. Additionally, decriminalizing drugs would not only put drug cartels and dealers at all levels out of business but would also end the violentdestabilizations of illicit-drug-producing nations, especially in Latin America and certain Asian countries. That, in turn, would markedly increase America’s security against global terrorism while (1) significantly reducing foreign-and-domestic US government expenditures, (2) dramatically reducing prison populations, street crimes, gang murders, police corruptions, and most important (3) end gang-driven, drug pushings onto America’s youth. Example #2: Under the rule of law, justly resolve ownership of private properties not lawfully purchased -forcibly seized -- from individual Palestinians and their businesses. Such illegal confiscations germinated from the anti-Semitic Dreyfus injustice in France during the 1890s. That, in turn, inspired the 1917 Balfour Declaration for a Jewish homeland, followed by British mandates, and carried out by subsequent Israeli governments. For decades, under sway of religious fundamentalists, violent orthodox Jews along with Jewish terrorists such as the Stern gang and Menachem Begin massacred innocent civilians, including their 1946 bombing of the King David Hotel, in their quest to illegally seize lands. Israel continued to criminally usurp “their Holy Land” from Palestinians…most recently via illegal Jewish-religious settlements in Gaza and the West Bank. Concurrent with settling valid Palestinian property claims, just law also demands returning or equitably purchasing the homes, businesses, and other properties illegally confiscated from nearly a million Jewish families in various Arab and Muslim countries during the same period of the illegal Palestinian-land seizures. Also, retrieve worldwide the wealth and properties stolen from the Jews murdered or exiled during the Holocaust and other pogroms. As a sidebar: A legitimate Jewish homeland might have risen in the late 19 th century on freely offered Grand Island -- the world’s second largest freshwater island -- near Buffalo, New York. Such a trouble-free, legal Jewish citystate probably could have flourished wildly in finance, business, medicine, science, and the arts -- perhaps
outcompeting and booming beyond New York City. Instead, however, Jewish fundamentalists, the same as the Christian crusaders a millennium before, irrationally insisted on criminally seizing from Muslim infidels “the Jew’s God-given Holy Lands -- given to God’s chosen ones”. Note, however, that a worldwide minority of peace-seeking, orthodox Jews called the Naturei Karta have always vehemently opposed Zionists illegally seizing Palestinian private properties and establishing religious Jewish settlements on Palestinian lands. The Neo-Tech view of Zionism aligns with the early 20th-century Jewish historian Jacob Klatzkin. That view is one of a free-and-secular Israel with no religious, political, or philosophical agendas. Klatzkin promoted freedom for everyone to pursue business, science, and art under secular natural law. Why? To assure a successful-andenduring Israel for Jews and Arabs alike. Neo-Tech also aligns with early 20th-century, Neo-Kantian philosopher Hermann Cohen as expressed in his book, The Religion of Reason. Neo-Tech, as does Cohen, links morality to nature in realizing that ethics are rational and universal. Finally, Neo-Tech agrees with mid-twentieth-century theologian Leo Baeck’s view that the Jewish religion based on law and ethics yields people who are more successful and less harmful than the Christianity of Apostle Paul based on “faith and faith alone”. Such faith (mysticism) and faith alone leads to Christian crusaders, Nazi Germany, Scientology, Jonestown, and Muslim terrorists. Christians and Muslims operate via positives of “doing unto others” -- of inflicting ‘values’ onto others -- of making each rise to an authoritarian-proclaimed ‘rightness’. By contrast, Neo-Tech operates via negatives of “not doing unto others” -- of leaving others alone -- of letting others competitively rise on their own values and responsibilities. Neo-Tech lets people be free; lets people find their own happiness; lets people compete on their own ‘rightness’ -so long as they do not initiate force, threat of force, or fraud against others as stated by the Universal Constitution printed in Aria #1 following Scene 3. *** Neo-Tech sweeps away the chains of today’s anticivilization to bring what conscious life naturally seeks -(1) ever-better jobs and careers, (2) ever-greater wealth and security, (3) ever-more enjoyable health and romance. Neo-Tech clean sweeps mysticisms and intolerances -- sweeps away dishonesties, irrationalities, and criminalities. Now, start collecting! Scene 3 Now, Collect Your Riches For twenty-five centuries, the world’s value creators remained unable or unwilling to win the War of Two Worlds - the war of “value creation versus value destruction”. On September 11, 2001, a handful few realized that, without victory, Earthlings would perish in a 21st-century swirl of biological, chemical, radiological, and nuclear detonations. Furthermore, they realized that Americans are committing intellectual and spiritual suicide via (1) escalating beliefs in pseudo-sciences, occultisms, and paranormalisms along with (2) escalating faiths in politics, scriptures, and religions. They also realized that Americans are committing financial and physical suicide via (1)
populist/socialist “gimme” parasitisms yielding economic-and-social destructions along with (2) self-indulgent ravagings yielding sickness-and-obesity destructions. After September 11, 2001, that handful few discovered what is implicitly feared by nearly everyone, familiar or not with Neo-Tech: That fear is of a vividly expressed responsibility to achieve limitless freedom, prosperity, and happiness here on Earth. Anticivilization citizens cannot psychologically abide the idea of limitlessness. For, who in the anticivilization will accept the responsibility of living without limits -- living without rulers, gurus, or Gods -living without sickness, aging, or death? Thomas Aquinas identified in the 13th century that Earthlings cannot abide the idea of limitless life -- of limitless freedom, prosperity, and happiness. And, then, Aquinas fired the first torpedo into Catholicism and the Christian religion by separating the mystical realm from the Earthly realm. …As explained in Scene #1 of Pax Neo-Tech, the problem of replacing the anticivilization with a universal civilization is not physical or philosophical -- it is psychological. Today, not just self-aggrandizing politicians, sophistic academics, and unctuous preachers dislike Neo-Tech, but so do good-intentioned Libertarians, brilliant Objectivists, and decent religious believers. In their contorted struggles to “save the appearances” of obsolete ideas or bogus beliefs, many say and do almost anything to avoid confronting deep-rooted change. Thus, they have for years publicly flamed anticivilization-nullifying Neo-Tech with ad-hominem zeal. And, why not? Nullifying today’s anticivilization for a free-market business/science/art civilization means chucking their stale, long-held biases, beliefs, and faiths in politics, religions, and philosophies -chucking them as harmful to the present and irrelevant to the future. Einstein swept away the ‘obviously-necessary’ aether via a universe of relativity. Neo-Tech sweeps away ‘obviously- necessary’ politics, religion, and philosophy via a universe of business, science, and art. …Conscious life never advances through force-backed politics, static epistemologies, mystical metaphysics, irrational faiths, and mystical “spiritualities”. Instead, it advances through free-market business, education, science, and art. Recall again mankind’s grandest achievement in Earth’s 2500-year-old anticivilization by America’s founding fathers: They created free America not by intellectualizing theories of politics, religion, and philosophy. Instead, they envisioned the future by integrating facts of history with natural law, physical reality, and commonsense actions. Where to start winning Earth’s final war between “good” and “evil”? Where to start collecting cleansweep riches? Start by Undermining Dishonesties and Irrationalities Neo-Tech profitably undermines religion, politics, and philosophy. To sense the contours of such underminings, start with religion -- Islam’s Muslim religion: It is the world’s fastest growing major religion. It encompasses a vast swath of history and diversity. It crosses every social, economic, national, and ethnic boundary in gripping today a billion-and-a-half people. Islamic power rises ingeniously from four simple tenets of Islam that the literate and illiterate alike can quickly understand and easily embrace. But, the crowning intellectual achievement -- the Muslim’s tour de force -- is the sweeping power of scholarly Islamic laws constructed over the centuries from the Qur'an. ...As one secular humanist identified, the Qur'an itself is an impressive piece of Arabic poetry that compels murderously irrational behaviors toward all non-Muslims as well as Muslims arbitrarily deemed “heretical”. Modeled after the 613 laws of the Jewish Torah, Islam’s widely-applicable laws formulate into explicit dos and don’ts that proclaim infallible answers for every question of what is “right and wrong”. Many of the Qur'an’s laws are sensible, healthy, and rational -- that is the “evil” genius of the Qur'an. …Thus, the Qur'an becomes “Allah’s will to whom all must submit…or die by the sword”.
Islamic laws shape every detail of a devout Muslim’s life. By rigidly following those laws, Muslims avoid the responsibility of independent judgments and freethinking decisions needed to advance conscious life. Those laws let Muslims sidestep the responsibility of creating-and-producing competitive values for themselves, others, and society. Increasingly today, duped Muslims move backward, toward the Middle Ages, even back into caves. They become decreasingly competitive, unable to earn joyfully-prosperous lives. Their personal-and-collective failures make them bitterly-envious losers wanting to crush or kill every successful infidel. …They destroy their futures by surrendering to Islamic laws formulated a thousand years ago. One can profitably undermine religion by understanding the Qur'an: Consider that the Bible and most Western literature are organized around a chronological or hierarchical order. By contrast, the Qur'an on initial examination seems to have no organizing principle. Its text appears as a disorganized, ad-hoc collection of brief but hard-impact, bullet-like warnings, identifications, and instructions for a paradise afterlife. *** The word Islam in Arabic means “to submit”. The most ardent-and-absolute Qur'anic command of Islam is to convert every Earthling to Islam...and kill every infidel who does not submit. Yet, the Christian Bible, in its Book of Revelation, surpasses the Qur'an in shear malevolence and hatred of humanity through advocating the brutal premeditated murder of every person on Earth. Remember, too, how for centuries devout Christians genocidally impoverished, tortured, and killed infidels, heretics, and free thinkers by the millions. Today, hordes of Christian fundamentalists enthusiastically purchased 40-million copies of books by Christian authors Jenkins and LaHaye. Those devout authors describe how Jesus during his Second Coming will gruesomely execute nonbelievers as their “innards and entrails gushed to the desert floor…their blood pooling and rising in the unforgiving brightness of God”. Moreover, what about the great flood? What about God’s own holy words in which he biblically confesses to premeditated mass murder. He sanctimoniously admits to sadistically-cruel genocide of conscious life. Yes, God admits to drowning every man, woman and innocent child on Earth, save two blind-faith automatons. At their core, religions of Gods and Politics are irrational, dishonest, and ultimately genocidal. Thus, to survive this age of nuclear, radiological, and bio/chemical weapons, Islam along with Christianity, Judaism, socialism, fascism, and every other form of crippling mysticism and criminal irrationality must be shredded and clean swept from Earth. Earthlings can no longer indulge in the bizarre of practices of irrational religions and dishonest politics. For the first time in human history, “kill-‘em-all” weapons are becoming available to all comers at ever-cheaper prices. “Kill-‘em-all” Islam is on the ascent today. Still, as in the past, the ascent of “kill-‘em-all” Christianity, Judaism, Socialism, Fascism, or Utopianism is possible at any future time. ...Thus, looms Earth’s final war to rid the world of those irrationalities and dishonesties. As shown in this Scene 3 and in Coda #2, Pax Neo-Tech and Pax Law must (1) profitably shrink irrationalities and mysticisms to null points, and (2) permanently eliminate terrorism at every level. ...If not, Earthlings will vanish in mushroom clouds…or die from radiological, biological, or chemical sicknesses. Outflanking the Qur'an Similar to Pax Neo-Tech, the Qur’an generally flows in a reverse chronological order and seems to lack an organizing principle. Still, the Qur'an forms a narrow-scope matrix of random warnings, identifications, and guides. Likewise, seemingly-random Neo-Tech nuggets self-organize into a wide-scope matrix comprising bullets that mow down right-brain religious, political, and philosophical delusions. …In that way, Neo-Tech profitably outflanks the Qur'an.
Now, travel back fourteen centuries: According to legend, “Prophet” Muhammad was the mystical messenger to whom the Qur'an was recited -- hallucinated -- over a period of twenty-two years by imagined angels sent by an imagined God. According to reality, however, “Commander” Muhammad was not only a charismatic military genius, but was a treacherous deceiver, a serial wife-beater, and as a 54-year-old man was a self-admitted child rapist of a 9-year-old girl named Aisha. Muhammad deployed religion as a weapon for zombifying his troops into (1) berserkly murdering his proclaimed enemies and then (2) brutally plundering his conquests. …Recall that in Dante’s Divine Comedy, one finds Muhammad confined near the deepest levels in the Inferno. Why? Because his Earthly life was filled with murderously-destructive deceptions. Muhammad used his newly-formulated Islamic manipulations and a conjured-up Qur'an as weapons to mass murder, plunder, and conquer neighboring lands. He then expanded his brutal rule under the aegis of establishing a holy Islamic empire. He learned his masterful deceptions from serial-killer Constantine the Great of four centuries earlier. After murdering his own wife and son, Constantine used his newly-formulated Christian deceptions and a conjured-up Bible as weapons to mass murder, usurp power, and conquer Europe. He then expanded his brutal rule under the aegis of establishing a Holy Roman Empire culminated by Charlemagne in 813. …One would expect to find Constantine dwelling alongside Muhammad in Dante’s Inferno. Now, return to the Qur'an: Contrast the benevolent, crime-abolishing Constitution of the Universe in Aria #1 to the malevolent, crime-promoting Qur'an cited next: * “not to make friendships with Jews and Christians” [5:51] * “kill the disbelievers wherever we find them” [2:191] * “fight and slay the Pagans, seize them, beleaguer them, and lie and wait for them in every stratagem” [9:5] [ref: Free Inquiry, Spring 2002, page 35. That Pulitzer-worthy issue offers eight historical articles about Islam and the Qur'an (see Muslims and the West After September 11). Highly recommended: Subscribe to the anti-mystical literature published by the Secular Humanists, especially its outstanding magazine Free Inquiry at http://secularhumanism.org/cart/fi-subscribe.htm. Also, financially support that international organization led by its benevolent-and-venerable founder, Dr. Paul Kurtz. Support the Council for Secular Humanists? Yes. Look past its irrelevant noises -- its socialist-left editorial positions. For, the outstanding value of the Council’s writers and researchers flows from their potent anti-mystical, pro-science publications to advance Neo-Tech’s goal of curing the disease of mysticism. Remember that they too are, as is almost everyone, trapped in the anticivilization. Those Secular Humanists are fenced in their left-wing biases just as their “arch-villain” President Bush is fenced in his right-wing biases. But, the fully-integrated honesty and wide-scope accounting of Neo-Tech sweeps away those fences to free good people trapped in today’s anticivilization. …Neo-Tech releases them into a mystic-free/free-thinking brotherhood -- into an honest business/science/art civilization here on Earth.] The most-solid nexus between Neo-Tech and the Secular Humanists is found in that position best stated by Secular Humanist author, William Harwood -- Insanity is a neurological dysfunction that prevents the brain from rejecting conclusions that are incompatible with the evidence. *** Ironically, mystically-crushed Muslims will ultimately benefit the most from Neo-Tech. For, realize that they have the same potential as any conscious person to escape their impoverished hell by creating and producing competitive values that yield endless prosperity here on Earth. Now move past Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to the Latter-Day Saints: Twelve centuries after Muhammad, the Mormon founder, Joseph Smith, harnessed his Book of Mormon. Emulating the ‘prophet’ Muhammad, the ‘prophet’
Smith proclaimed recitation of his sacred text by an imagined angel sent by an imagined God. As did Muhammad, he used spellbinding cult dynamics. Smith used Qur'anic-like, multi-wife dynamics to accumulate and hold his followers, albeit today in a healthier, more life-affirming manner than not only Islam but also most other religions. Thus, in competitively earning prosperous livelihoods, the Mormons generally outcompete other strongly religious people. And, as detailed later in this scene concerning the unproven Zon conjecture, Mormonism and Neo-Tech share a common idea: Man is what God was -- God is what man shall become. …At the other end of the spectrum, religion tragically diminishes the competitiveness -- the creativity and productivity -- of a billion Muslims living today. Finally, go back 3500 years to sacred Egyptian hieroglyphic texts. Then proceed to the Hindu Vedas and Upanishads, even to the Buddha’s Dharma with its gift of fearlessness. Next, go to the Torah, the Old Testament, and the New Testament. Power-usurping political/religious ‘authorities’ have throughout the ages manipulated those brilliantly-edited texts to continually embed irrationalities and mysticisms into conscious minds. Why? To control populations into becoming wealth-and-power providing worshipers and followers. …By contrast, with the publication of Neo-Tech comes non-religious, non-political, non-philosophical texts for creating ever-expanding prosperity, health, and happiness -- not up there in some future-promised ethereal realm or heaven, but right now, down here on this solid Earth. Available right now to unbiased snipers is an arsenal of prosperity-creating bullets embedded throughout the NeoTech literature. Instead of impoverishing their human targets as do life-killing Qur'anic bullets, those Neo-Tech bullets enrich the world as some mow down the dishonesties and irrationalities that support mysticisms and biases while others explode on impact to create new profit opportunities. What follows is the Keynote Address delivered at the Neo-Tech 2001 World Summit, which revealed the BubbleControl Tool. That tool lets one profit by undercutting and nullifying today's moribund political/religious anticivilization, thus clearing the way for building a booming business/science civilization around the globe:
The Neo-Tech 2001 World Summit KEYNOTE ADDRESS November 18, 2001 [edited for book publication] Bubble Controlling the Future Two months after September 11, 2001, on the final day of the annual Neo-Tech World Summit at the Tropicana Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, a thirteen-star Jeffersonian flag of American independence rose to Max Steiner’s Gone-with-the-Wind Tara’s Theme to reveal a large gold-glittering photograph of the World-Trade Center at sunrise. With that glorious business-civilization sight, the background music played Leigh’s and Darion’s, “To Dream the Impossible Dream, to Reach the Unreachable Star”. When the music stopped, the keynote speaker gestured toward the twin towers. “Gone with the wind,” he lamented. “Gone in the wind of an anticivilization. Today, that wind blows from nuclearand-biochemical pinnacles poised to annihilate mankind. But, September 11 th birthed a different wind -- a peaceful zephyr that brings prosperity and health. ” The speaker then clutched a handful of dirt scooped from a crystal bowl flanked on one side by a porcelain bowl filled with grain and fruit and on the other side by a heart-shaped ingot of gold inscribed with words of romantic love. He then began his speech. This is what he said: In the movie Gone with the Wind, Scarlet O’Hara stood in the fields of her war-destroyed plantation, Tara, and vowed, “As God is my Witness, I’ll never be hungry again.” Do you remember Scarlet clutching that handful of dirt -- dirt falling from between her gripping fingers? Remember her soliloquy about earth -- about the good earth? She passionately proclaimed that only land is permanently valuable and real. Nothing valuable comes from anything mystical or unreal. Real values come from what is real. And, earth is the most basic representation of what is real. …But, earth is only half the equation for a prosperous, happy civilization. The other half of that equation is human consciousness -- honest, mystic-free consciousness. In the Neolithic Age, from nature’s earth evolved this world’s first businesspeople -- farmers. They produced, stored, and traded surplus grains and other agricultural staples. That ability to produce and store surplus food opened the era of trade. Surplus food production allowed the formation of villages, then stable cities such as Jericho, and finally civilizations with written languages and formal educations. Thus, rose science and commerce that continually increased human prosperity. Profit-driven artisans took silicon from sand to make these crystaland-porcelain bowls…and, today, the silicon semiconductors in this microphone. Similarly, profit-driven miners extracted gold from the earth not only to yield this romantic golden heart, but also to create money, businesses, capitalism, and competitive world trade. Profit-driven enterprises let populations multiply their creations into economic-and-social forces that can advance mankind indefinitely -- without limits. …Nature’s earth plus rational consciousness yield human progress reaching the stars and beyond. Reaching the stars and forever beyond? Yes, by combining human consciousness with honest free-enterprise business, science, and art as I shall explain later in my talk today. For now, however, remember that Neo-Tech comprises new techniques and new technologies harnessed by neothinking, fully-integrated honesty, and widescope accounting. Yet, in an anticivilization, even with Neo-Tech, every conscious value ends destroyed and every human life ends dead. For what? And why? No rational answer exists for those two questions. But, by sundering life from death, conscious life can flourish without limits. Sundering Life from Death
A protocol that sunders life from death took three decades to evolve. That protocol quantum jumps consciousness out of pathologies yielding destruction and death -- and into psychologies yielding prosperity and life. …Yet, few would effectively use that sundering protocol. The problem was not that the protocol is so confoundedly difficult that few could use it. Instead, the problem is that it was so elegantly simple that few would use it. For, using that protocol deprives people of their dogmatic beliefs and mystical irrationalities. The September-11th terrorist attack, however, jolted a radical restructuring of that protocol into a new tool that lets people gain competitive advantages and compounding profits by undermining and then nullifying their own biases, mysticisms, and faiths. What is that new tool? It is a future-controlling device, not a fortune-telling gimmick. A mystic gazes into a crystal ball to fraudulently forecast the future. A realist gazes into Earth’s mystical bubble to accurately predict the future and then profitably control it. How to start? Start by understanding the Zon speculation: What is the Zon speculation? It comprises three conjectures: 1. The Civilization of the Universe is a business/science/art civilization into which conscious life throughout the universe naturally evolves based on the nature of physical-and-conscious existence. 2. Zonpower controls the Universe. Does the word “zonpower” seem new-age or mystical? It is not. Zonpower is simply a metaphorical word encapsulating Francis Bacon’s seventeenth-century logic: First understand nature, obey it, and then control it to create ever-more human values. 3. Zons are metaphorically-postulated people who deliver never-ending values, prosperity, and health to conscious life. Zons can also be expressed metaphorically as God Men and God Women. In addition, Neo-Tech coincides with Socrates’ idea that every conscious person conceals a potential god (a daemon) or a divine spark (nous) within his or her nature. Thus, today, while there is no direct scientific evidence of Zons, one must ask, “Can we become Zons?” The answer: Even if Zons do not now exist, they certainly can evolve from the limitless nature of conscious life here on Earth. The First Zon Messenger Was mythical Prometheus the first Zon messenger? Prometheus, whose Greek name means foresight, bestowed gifts of knowledge upon Earthlings – Luciferian knowledge needed to start their journey toward obsoleting God or Gods by becoming far-superior, ever-growing Gods themselves. Those gifts included not only fire but also the profit-generating secrets for agriculture, business, engineering, manufacturing, technology, and the arts. ...Thus, Prometheus nullified God’s (Zeus’s) decreed apocalyptic destruction of mankind. Prometheus’s gifts of knowledge saved mankind from God’s murderous wrath. Thus, a fearfully-envious Zeus chained the giver of light and life to a mountaintop. Each day, he had an eagle peck out Prometheus’s liver, which grew back each night for continued torture until he yielded to Zeus’s command to destroy mankind. By never yielding, however, Prometheus symbolized the supreme virtue of persistence in nullifying the destructions inflicted by a conjured God corruptly manipulated through irrational religions and dishonest politics. Today, the relentless persistence of Neo-Tech first undermines and then nullifies conjured-up Gods, irrational religions, and dishonest politics to prepare conscious life for its journey toward endless prosperity, non-aging health, and enduring romance. ...Consider these three points about Neo-Tech: 1. Neo-Tech stands diametrically apart from the false beauty and spurious spirituality of political dishonesties and religious irrationalities. …Neo-Tech is pure beauty rising from the rationality and honesty of free-thinking creativity and romantic spirituality.
2. As demonstrated throughout the Neo-Tech literature, honesty not truth is the hallmark of beauty, spirituality, and virtue. Realize that “honesty” is an open-ended, flowing process that by definition is always honest. By contrast, “truth” is a closed-circle, fixed static that insidious leaders, false authorities, and malevolent dogmatists dishonestly use for destructive, self-serving manipulations. ...Truth shall not set you free; honesty shall. 3. Rising from irrational mysticisms and absolutisms, religious-and-political tyrannies hold no real spirituality or beauty. By contrast, Neo-Tech comprises honest business, science, and art that transfigures into free-thinking spirituality and romantic beauty. Three Useful Questions As the late Cornell astronomer Carl Sagan stated, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs. Thus, the Zon conjecture lays no claims because there are no proofs or even evidences. Neo-Tech does not even frame the Zon conjecture as a hypothesis. It is instead a speculation that may serve as a useful awareness point for NTP’s future Overlay-Chart research program. One, however, can still honestly ask three unscientific yet useful questions: (1) Are we the descendents of Universe-creating Zons? (2) Shall we become the creators of future worlds or universes from which new conscious life and eventually Zons will evolve according to the natural laws of physics? (3) If universe-creating Zons exist, would they send a messenger to this planet? Neo-Tech literature based on the logic of competitive business, universal science, and wide-scope accounting suggests that such messengers could or would never appear on planet Earth. Yet, today, Pax Neo-Tech indicates that home-born Zon messengers are independently evolving here on Earth as part of a natural evolution process. *** Most ironic: Could Earth-evolved Zon messengers free Muslims from their centuries-old sufferings in a matrix of psychotically-destructive delusions? Consider these facts: Claiming revelations from a mythical Archangel named Gabriel, warrior-politician Muhammad conjured up a brilliantly-powerful religious weapon to which all must submit or die. He called that weapon “Islam” and used it to whip his worshiping armies into religious frenzies. After murderously robbing the innocent businesses of his day (desert trade caravans) to finance his wars, Muhammad used his religiously-berserk armies to conquer and plunder vast lands and populations -- North, South, East, and West. Muhammad used Islam to usurp great power and wealth. Yet, how did he fashion such a gripping-andenduring religion that subjected and controlled more people globally than any other religious force in human history? First, he recognized that the three major religions of his time -- Judaism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism -- were far too complex and esoteric for the vast majorities of Earthlings to personally grasp and deeply understand. Thus, Muhammad shrewdly stripped away the complexities of those religions and then ingeniously wove them into a starkly-simple maze -- a wide-ranging entrapment matrix called the Qur'an. Then, the literate and illiterate alike of all races and nationalities could easily embrace Muhammad’s authoritative Qur'anic rhetoric that today entraps over a billion followers. Seven centuries later, Niccolo Machiavelli in his book, The Prince, published in 1513, highlighted Muhammad’s technique for usurping, holding, then expanding power and control over vast domains. That technique? Present simple, easily-embraced, all-inclusive religious messages. Then forcefully spread those messages through violent politics, relentless propaganda, and faith-frenzied Jihads. Now, today, could Pax Neo-Tech suddenly jump Muslims from black to white -- from blindly accepting violently-irrational messages from demagogically-created myths into critically adopting peacefully-rational
messages from reality-created facts? For, most ironically, as previously noted, that despite their profound differences, deep marketing connections exist between the Qur'anic enslavement matrix and the Pax Neo-Tech freedom matrix. Above all, however, Pax Neo-Tech generates the universal spirituality that breaks the lethal grip of religion and politics on planet Earth. The Zon Mandate From China to America to Mecca, forget mandates from Heaven, Jesus, or God. They do not exist. An a-priori mandate, however, does exist from metaphorical Zons here on Earth and across the cosmos. That mandate demands the evolvement of conscious life toward limitless life and happiness via business, science, and art. …Fail that mandate and conscious life perishes. What would Zons be like? By nature, young children are Zons. They are innocently open and know only honesty. That is why they have limitless potential and are lovably precious. Adult Zons by nature would likewise be innocently open and know only honesty. Thus, they too would have limitless potential and be lovably precious. To quote Nobel Laureate in literature, Y. B. Yeats, “The innocent and the beautiful have no enemy but time.” …Innocent-and-beautiful children have no enemy but anticivilization adults. Similar to children, animals are also innocent and lovable. Animals, however, never become mystical, dishonest, or irrational. Thus, they remain the same innocents either in “Heaven” or on Earth -- either in the Civilization of the Universe or in an anticivilization. *** How does the Zon speculation become a catalyst for life-giving health and prosperity? Go back to the initial conditions formed during the "big-bang" birth of our Universe fourteen-billion years ago. From those initial conditions radiated the physical reality in which we live today. What set those initial conditions? Today, no one on Earth knows that answer. Yet, without direct evidence to posit a scientifically-acceptable theory, Neo-Tech deduces a useful speculation: Perhaps eon-advanced conscious beings (Zons) birthed this universe with initial conditions designed to deliver ever-expanding health and prosperity for conscious life by following the immutable laws of nature. Such a speculation provides a tool for generating predictions -- regardless if universe-creating Zons exist or not. Before the 20th century, without direct evidence, leading physicists and chemists deduced a useful speculation: Perhaps everything was made of invisible, irreducible atoms. Such a speculation became a valuable tool for generating accurate predictions that yielded advantages and profits while continually advancing physics, chemistry, and biology -- regardless if atoms factually existed or not. Experimental physicists and chemists then increasingly uncovered mathematical-and-empirical evidences of the atom. Finally, in 1905, Albert Einstein’s famous paper on Brownian Motion asserted proof of the atom backed by J.J. Thompson’s 1897 discovery of an elementary particle -- the electron. Most scientists then quickly accepted Einstein’s and Thompson’s evidences as proof of the atom. Even then, direct observation of atoms did not occur until the mid-20th century with the development of the electron microscope. Similarly, scientists will construct Overlay Charts seeking mathematical-and-empirical evidences of conscious life controlling nature on quantum, macro, and cosmic levels. [The forthcoming Act Three of Pax Neo-Tech explains the Overlay Charts.] Scientists will construct those Charts from the mountains of uninterpreted cosmological/quantum, matter/energy data already collected by NASA, astronomers, astrophysicists, and particle-physicists. …Overlay-Chart construction will be somewhat analogous to Johannes Kepler’s constructing
his elegant Laws of Planetary Motion from the abundant data previously collected by the great observationalastronomer Tycho Brahe. Later in this decade, inorganic research chemist, Dr. Frank R. Wallace will construct his first Overlay Chart. He will organize and then integrate the vast amounts of raw physical, statistical, and mathematical information currently available for the chemical elements. That information concerns space-and-time distributions, quantities, properties, and uses of those elements on quantum, macro, and cosmic levels. From those integrations, he will reconfigure Mendeleyev’s Periodic Table of Elements into four-dimensional arrays aimed at discerning businessdetermined, space-time distributions of the elements and their isotopes. Next, working with physicists and mathematicians, Wallace will subject quantum-mechanical and cosmological data to (1) statistical thermodynamic/mathematical analyses and (2) wide-scope quantitative/qualitative integrations aimed at discerning possible conscious interdictions in cosmic space-time. Computer analyses will then correlate the results with business/science principles postulated for eternally expanding the health and prosperity of conscious life. Such Overlay Charts might yield evidences, possibly even predictive proofs, of conscious business/science controls reaching beyond planets -- reaching beyond solar systems -- reaching throughout the cosmos. …Why that cosmic control? To (1) protect the eternal propagation of conscious life and (2) allow its perpetual flourishment. If successful, Dr. Wallace plans to convert that initial periodic-table Overlay Chart into a building-size, public walkthrough glass model that illustrates -- via interactive audio and video -- the scientific, intellectual, practical, and emotional meanings of that discovery in aesthetically-exciting ways. That artistic, multi-colored glass model will dramatize what that Overlay-Chart discovery means to Earthlings. …Could such charts be the Conscious Messenger for our cosmos as Galileo’s telescope was the Starry Messenger for our solar system four centuries ago? *** Now, in 2001, consider the prime speculation about establishing the initial physical conditions to form our universe: That speculation postulates that the forces of nature quantum-fluxed our universe into existence from vacuum energy. Such a flux started the creation and then the superluminal big-bang expansion of space and time (not a big-bang explosion in space and time) birthed our Universe. In other words, the five universal constants comprising the initial conditions for our universe fluxed from ‘nothing’ -- ex nihilo -- based on the Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle underlying both quantum mechanics and general relativity. …That cosmological/quantummechanical speculation provides a scientifically-sound/predictive-tool model that is widely used by scientists today. Physicists effectively and validly use that quantum-flux scenario despite three problems: First, no verifiable explanation for such a scenario exists. Second, if during the so-called “big-bang” any of the five universal constants varied in the slightest, many-decimal-point degree, the Universe in which we live could not exist. [Our Universe springing by chance from a quantum-flux of vacuum energy is inherently not a problem. Such an occurrence is just a statistical long shot of overwhelming proportions. Still, the Universe that evolved the original Zons, if they exist, would have had to develop via such a googol-eons, long-shot physical phenomenon. That too is inherently not a problem. For, after all, in the never-beginning past of the universe of universes, countless googol eons of “time” have already passed.] Third, religious leaders mystically framed and then dishonestly hijacked the big-bang hypothesis to formulate bogus God ‘proofs’. Intelligent-Design is not science; it is theology where the Scientific Method is not applicable. The Zon conjecture is not yet science (and may never be); it is to date speculation without empirical evidences. The Zon conjecture
cannot become science until or unless empirical evidences emerge that suggest a cosmic imperative for the origins of the Universe and/or life itself. Both the scientific (evidenced-based) Big-Bang Theory and the currently non-scientific Zon Speculation posit space, time, and life itself as evolving from the laws of natural physics and Darwinian-type evolutions -- not from the dictates of a mythical God or even Zons. If Zons exist, however, nothing technologically limits them from learning to profitably control nature by obeying it in creating or controlling life-evolving worlds and/or universes for value-creating purposes. Remember, also, unlike a mythical God who exists only as figments of harmful beliefs, postulated Zons are neither omniscient nor omnipotent. They, as us, must (1) obey the laws of nature and (2) exert conscious thinking and focused efforts to gain useful knowledge, create competitive values, and earn ever-increasing power. Nature intrinsically needs neither purpose nor a conscious creator. Yet, the Zon conjecture adds purpose with greatly-improved “occurrence odds” to the scientifically-sound, quantum-flux idea of our universe created exnihilo. …Again, however, purpose is neither a necessity nor a requirement for existence itself or for the creation of our Universe. In addition, no “why” answers exist for nature. Thus, today, no valid hypotheses can arise for nature. ...Nature simply exists as existence. A humanistically-understandable Zon evolving within the laws of nature contrasts to a pathologically-inscrutable God operating outside the laws of nature. Thus, the Zon conjecture provides a potentially-predictive hypothesis in the future based on real people in real locations letting conscious life freely-and-limitlessly advance via value creations across time and space. Interestingly, of the two non-God creation ideas, only the Zon conjecture seems prima-facie provable -- possibly via Overlay Charts derived from already existing data. But, that speculation currently cannot be falsified. Whereas, the currently-accepted nonconscious quantum-flux speculation seems unprovable, but can be falsified by, for example, proving the Zon conjecture. …As an aside, Neo-Tech rejects Karl Popper’s falsification theory as false in itself for it ultimately rules out proof by induction, empirical evidences, and the Scientific Method. In any case, achieving Neo-Tech's goal of replacing Earth’s dead-end anticivilization with an open-end business/science/art civilization depends on proving neither the Zon conjecture nor the existence of Zons. Yet, consider the impact of finding evidences or, more-spectacularly, finding proofs that businesspeople, scientists, and artists rationally created and now profitably orchestrate the cosmos via the universal laws of nature. Why? To forever protect and profitably advance the most-precious entity in existence -- individual conscious life. The Bubble-Control Tool The 1992 Zon speculation provided unexpected, life-enhancing prizes. Now comes its most-valuable prize -- the bubble-control tool for profitably predicting and controlling the future. …That tool evolved over roughly three tenyear periods: 1. The Poker Period (1968-1979) during which the founder of Neo-Tech as the author of the world’s best-selling poker book (www.neo-tech.com/poker) uncovered the power of observing and acting from perspectives outside the fish-in-a-barrel microcosms comprising poker games. ...From that catbird position, one can gain unbeatable advantages by exploiting his or her opponents’ irrationalities, mysticisms, and ignorances. 2. The Neo-Tech Period (1980-1991) started with generalizing those poker concepts and then applying them to a wide-range of human interactions. Such generalizations yielded tools for profitably outcompeting the dishonesties and irrationalities underpinning Earth’s anticivilization. Those tools were delivered in publications such as Psychuous Sex, The Neo-Tech Encyclopedia, The Neo-Tech Discovery, and The Neo-Tech Protection Kit.
Later came the potent business tools discovered, developed, and delivered by Mark Hamilton and Eric Savage in an array of classic Neo-Tech publications. Those publications ranged from Cosmic Business Control to Global Wealth Power, capped by Hamilton’s current masterwork, The Neo-Tech World, which nails the reason why conscious life cannot achieve non-aging biological immortality in an anticivilization. …Then, in 2004, will come Hamilton’s hoaxbreaking, wealth-generating business manual -- The Neo-Tech System. 3. The Neo-Tech/Zon Period (1992-2001) began the controversial dynamics to replace today’s life-destroying political/religious anticivilization with a life-flourishing business/science civilization described in publications such as Cassandra’s Secret -- Nature’s Quintessential Secret, Neo-Tech Physics, Zon Protocols, and Profound Honesty. This period evolved over the years, up to my talk today. Next will come Mark Hamilton’s emotionally-gripping trilogy, The First Immortals. That trilogy dramatizes how human beings can quickly achieve reverse-aging/non-aging health via various competitive stem-cell and cloning methods -- commercial biological immortality -- in a free-enterprise/science/art civilization. Also, in 2004, will come Eric Savage’s and Tracy Alexander’s book, No More Lies. That book nullifies personal mysticisms. In 2006, will come Rosa María Wallace’s book, Romantic Love Eternal. That book roadmaps the route to forever-young romantic pleasures and happiness. The first two of those three ten-year periods deployed precise 1-2-3 steps to gain prosperity, health, and romance by nullifying dishonesties, irrationalities, and mysticisms. Starting in 1992, Neo-Tech began deploying its “bubblecontrol” tool. That tool not only profitably discards fixed-boundary faiths in religions and mysticisms, but it also profitably discards fixed-boundary beliefs in politics and philosophies. Sweeping Away the Bad…and the Good Exchanging today’s anticivilization for a business/science/art civilization requires sweeping away the boundaries of not only irredeemably-harmful politics and philosophies but also of relatively-beneficial politics and philosophies such as Libertarianism and Objectivism. Neo-Tech does not work by futilely-preaching positives. It works by profitably-nullifying negatives woven throughout government, business, academia, and the media. …Libertarians and Objectivists, by contrast, struggle to reform negatives -- their targets of ‘evil’ -- targets that cannot be reformed. Still, why can good-intentioned Libertarians and Objectivists never build a prosperous business/science/art civilization free of criminalities, wars, and mysticisms? Why can they never end pernicious big government, destructive irrationality, or lethal religion? …I shall now answer those questions: Contemplate the 15th-18th century alchemists. Many were outstanding scientists, including Isaac Newton, who rationally and logically sought to chemically transmute, for example, heavy base metals into their heavy metal cousin -- gold. For, while scientifically informed in their day, they did not have Mendeleyev’s Periodic Chart of Elements. They had no concept of the ‘unchangeable’ nature of elements versus their everyday experiences of changing elements into compounds, reducing compounds into elements, and converting compounds into other compounds. Later, within the scope of 19th-and-20th-century scientific knowledge, such attempts to transmute elements became obviously impossible, irrational, illogical -- crackpot science by cranks. As an aside: Today, ironically, with growing knowledge and application of high-energy nuclear physics, such leadto-gold, non-chemical transmutations are now a physical reality, albeit an economically unfeasible means of gold production. Libertarians and Objectivists were the honorable political-and-philosophical alchemists of the 20th century who built a valuable body of anticivilization knowledge while trying to transmute lower-realm evil into higher-realm
good. They never understood the non-analog, quantum-jump difference between evil and good. They never understood the unbridgeable difference between today’s corrupt political/religious/philosophical anticivilization and tomorrow’s honest business/science/art civilization. Thus, arose the impossibility of achieving their goal -- just as arose the impossibility of achieving the alchemist’s goal. Thereby, today, they are unnecessarily becoming the cranks of politics and crackpots of philosophy. Time for them to escape their entrapments. Time for them to break free from their stunted growth. Time for them to use Neo-Tech for freeing their bright minds and moral characters to create prosperous, healthy futures for themselves, their loved ones, and humanity via Neo-Tech’s bubble-control tool. As explained earlier in my talk today, that tool is the encapsulated anticivilization bubble viewed from the outside - from no-boundary business/science/art perspectives. To further grasp that tool, review once again how and where it was first discovered and successfully used -- in high-stake poker -- in microcosms of an irrational anticivilization: Note how out-of-their-world player John Finn viewed his opponents from beyond their closed, selfdestructive boundaries. Thus, he could profitably predict and control their actions, reactions, and futures. From that god-like/higher-realm position, Finn gained unbeatable advantages by recognizing and then profitably exploiting the irrationalities, dishonesties, and mysticisms of his hapless opponents. The rationalized bubbles that entrapped those opponents prevented them from looking beyond to see Finn’s control over them. Thus, catbird Finn exploited them at will while digitally -- dollar by dollar -- shrinking his targets of irrationality and mysticism toward bankruptcy and oblivion -- toward null points. Those catbird strategies flip anticivilization irrationalities into open-ended profits. Implicit uses of such ‘out-oftheir-world’ advantages are now spreading across business, political, and social spectra from shrewd Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes with their increasingly-profitable Fox News Cable -- to Robert L. Bartley with his Wall Street Journal worldwide-gold-standard editorial page. …Even religious-addled radio-and-television commentators (including alas egomaniacal-blowhard Bill O’Reilly) are cashing-in on those Neo-Tech dynamics. Profitable Neo-Tech advantages are executed explicitly in the red-pill-of-honesty movie The Matrix and implicitly in certain super-hero movies, even in ironic TV cartoons such as The Simpsons and South Park. Moreover, today, Neo-Tech advantages continue moving not only into talk radio but also into video games, entertainment, rock, rap, and comic books such as the Neo-Tech Anarky Batman series. …In spreading among freethinking non-elitists, NeoTech is arriving step-by-step in hundreds of quiet, hidden ways. *** Time to replace losing hands of politics, religion, and utopianism with winning hands of free-enterprise, science, and art. Time to waltz gracefully into everlasting riches, health, and romance. The Gold-and-Silver Waltz [To the background music of Franz Lehár’s Gold-and-Silver Waltz] Perhaps one can best sense the subtlety of Neo-Tech’s anticivilization-vanquishing dynamics via its gold-andsilver waltz. That waltz harmonizes the notes of business, science, and art into new melodies. Such melodies play across the spectrum of Neo-Tech literature to coalesce into symphonies of benevolence, honesty, and profit. Take, for example, two such melodies of which a few notes have already played. Sense the unexpected perspectives. If you can envision such wide-scope/unbiased perspectives, you have already started outflanking and outcompeting the multitudes of narrow-scope/biased individuals trapped inside the anticivilization bubble. Gold-and-Silver Melody #1 starts with an unusual question and concludes with outside-the-bubble answers. Here is the question: When does one know if he or she understands James Joyce’s hard-to-read, stream-ofconsciousness novel Ulysses? Here are some answers:
*One knows upon grasping both the opposites and parallels of honestly-presented facts versus dishonestlypresented truths. One knows upon grasping both the opposites and parallels between humble Jewish-businessman Leopold Bloom’s honestly-compassionate one-day journey around Dublin versus vainglorious Greek-hero Ulysses’ dishonestly-ruthless ten-year journey around the Mediterranean. *One knows upon separating realities from delusions. For example: 1. Ayn-Rand’s egoism expanding into value-creations -- not Mother-Teresa’s altruism shrinking into self-sacrifices -- increases standards of living for all societies and well-being for all peoples, especially the downtrodden and impoverished. 2. Christian Francis of Assisi and atheist Ayn Rand were philosophical soul mates who pursued quixotic alchemies based upon the metaphysics, epistemologies, and ethics perceived by each in their respective 800-yearseparated periods of history and philosophy. Both Francis and Rand expanded on Socrates’, Aristotle’s, and Jesus’ movement away from group following and political collectivism. However different their separate perceptions of reality, they each moved toward independent action via self-responsibility and individual freedom. 3. Ayn Rand offered a way to escape irrationality in the twentieth century as projected in her fiction-andnonfiction works. St. Francis offered a way to escape unhappiness in the thirteenth century as projected next in Gold-and-Silver Melody #2: Gold-and-Silver Melody #2 unexpectedly reveals St. Francis as a self-fulfilling egoist who defeats boring conformity along with its gnawing unhappiness. In the anticivilization context of his thirteenth-century knowledge and milieu, Francis certainly led a more independent and interesting life while probably achieving much greater happiness than do today's cult-entrapped Objectivists and lost Libertarians. For example: *Fiercely individualistic Francis uncompromisingly strove to achieve autonomy and freedom for his own personal life, on his own terms, regardless of what others thought or did. Within the anticivilization possibilities available to him eight-hundred years ago, he was spectacularly successful in fulfilling his life’s goal of achieving maximum personal happiness -- deep Aristotelian happiness -- eudaemonist happiness of virtuously fulfilling his nature and potential. *In knowing his nature, Francis discovered what gave him the most fulfillment and pleasure. He then delivered values to others via his life-simplifying Thoreauvian ‘deprivations’. Thus, he easily and efficiently delivered practical values to himself and others with happy, low-cost, uncompromised vigor. *Rejecting a wasted life of well-to-do comfort via hand-me-down wealth from his father in a corrupt political/religious system, Francis refused to sacrifice his happiness to the demands of his politically-privileged family, the local bishop, or anyone else. Instead, he rationally pursued his own happiness and energetically achieved his personal goals. *Francis was totally sincere and benevolent toward others. His unassuming presence reflected such sweet kindness and genuine good-will that even potentially-murderous enemies were overcome with an adoring fondness for him. No one seemed willing or able to harm him. An initially-hostile Pope Innocence III succumbed to Francis’s loving aura in granting his request to establish the gentle-Jesus-following Franciscan Order despite its potential for undermining the Vatican’s rough-Papal-following authority. *Francis accompanied a Crusade hoping to save the lives of Muslims from the terrible swift swords of genocidal Christian crusaders joyfully wading knee deep in the blood and gore of infidels. Expecting to be killed, Francis crossed enemy lines alone, unarmed. Barefoot and cheerfully singing, he traversed enemy territory. Francis thusly walked straight to the mighty Muslim leader -- El Kamil, the Sultan of Egypt and nephew of the legendary Muslim general Saladin who had defeated and driven the Christian crusaders from Jerusalem and the Levant.
*El Kamil was so charmed by Francis’s utterly-caring kindness that instead of promptly killing him, he treated Francis with warm hospitality and politely listened to his charmingly-innocent pleas for peace and words of compassion for Muslims. El Kamil gave Francis ivory gifts and provided him with safe passage for a pilgrimage into Muslim-held Jerusalem and then a safe journey home. …Francis never felt fear, even before deadly enemies. *Francis never condemned or criticized others, not even his potential killers. He implicitly recognized that everyone lived unnaturally and imperfectly because each is trapped in Earth’s anticivilization. Thus, Francis never imposed his way of life or beliefs upon others. Instead, he followed his maxim of “fix yourself first”. He led not by persuasion, but persuaded by example. …With unparalleled success, he harnessed his captivating power of humility and compassion to bring happy equanimity and spiritual comfort first to himself and then to others. *Francis read in the Gospel of St. Mark about preaching to the creatures. So he went forth and preached to creatures from birds to wolves. In that way, he related to the universal realm of conscious life. In his Canticles of the Creatures, Francis recognized the increasing relationship of spiritually-advancing Earthlings with nature. Thus, in a Platonic way, human consciousness becomes one with universal nature -- becomes one with innocent animals, brother sun, sister moon, and the stars. …Somewhat analogously, Neo-Tech recognizes technologicallyadvancing Earthlings extending their control of nature beyond this planet -- into our solar system and ultimately throughout the cosmos. Thus, in an Aristotelian way, human consciousness becomes one with nature -- becomes one with and perhaps even the creator of brother sun, sister moon, the stars…and beyond. *One can accurately understand people and events in history only when evaluated in the context of their past times in history. …Evaluating past peoples and events in the context of present times is neither accurate nor fair. *** Do you sense the power and romance of an unbiased life based on fully-integrated honesty and widescope rationality? If so, you are moving toward a civilization based on honest business, rational science, and romantic art. If not, do not worry. For, upon discovering and utilizing the near-limitless availability of Neo-Tech Bullets, you and ultimately every honest person can bring victory to conscious life on Earth -- victory yielding youth, justice, and riches for you, your loved ones, and your fellow Earthlings now and ever into the future. [The summit concluded with Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries symbolizing Neo-Tech vanquishing today’s anticivilization] That evening, the summit attendees crossed the Las Vegas Strip to the Monte Carlo Resort for a joyful evening of camaraderie and dancing. ******* Pax Neo-Tech removes the blinders -- horse blinkers -- put on humans by false authorities. With blinders off, people gain the wide-scope vision needed to escape their no-survival racetrack -- their closed-circle life. With blinders off, they leap that racetrack fence. On the other side, they discover Neo-Tech -- they discover the honesty, rationality, knowledge, and freedom that nourish business, science, technology, and art. On that other side, Earthlings harness their zestful lives, super intellects, kind benevolence, and noble characters to achieve endless prosperity, non-aging health, and exciting romance on their road to infinite justice and riches. Aria #1 Song of our Universe The Constitution of the Universe combined with secular natural law dating back to Cicero in 51 BC provides the legal basis and protection protocol for evolving a just-and-prosperous business/science/art civilization here on Earth. …Pax Law in Coda #2 of Pax Neo-Tech details that legal protocol.
The Constitution of the Universe (1976) Preamble *The purpose of conscious life is to live creatively, happily, eternally. *The function of government is to provide the conditions that let individuals fulfill that purpose. *The Constitution of the Universe guarantees those conditions by forbidding the use of initiatory force, fraud, or coercion by any person or group against any individual, property, or contract. Article 1 No person, group of persons, or government shall initiate force, threat of force, or fraud against any individual's self, property, or contract. Article 2 Force is morally-and-legally justified only for protection from those who violate Article 1. Article 3 No exceptions shall exist for Articles 1 and 2. Premises 1. Values exist only relative to life. 2. Whatever benefits a living organism is a value to that organism. 3. Whatever harms a living organism is a disvalue to that organism. 4. The value against which all values are measured is conscious life. 5. Morals apply only to conscious individuals. * Immoral actions arise (1) from individuals who harm others through force, fraud, or coercion and (2) from individuals who usurp, degrade, or destroy values belonging to others. * Moral actions arise from individuals who honestly create and competitively produce values that benefit self, others, and humanity. Cicero's Natural Law Below is Cicero’s definition of natural law from his book, On the Republic, published in 51 BC. While reading, substitute the secular word “Nature” for the mystical word “God”: "True law is right reason in agreement with nature, universal, consistent, everlasting, whose nature is to advocate duty by prescription and to deter wrongdoing by prohibition. Good men obey its prescriptions and prohibitions, but evil men disobey them. It is forbidden by God to alter this law, nor is it permissible to repeal any part of it, and it is impossible to abolish the whole of it. Neither the Senate nor the People can absolve us from obeying this law and we do not need to look outside ourselves for an expounder or interpreter of this law. There will not be one law at Rome and another law at Athens. There is now and will be forever one law, valid for all peoples and all times. And there will be one master and ruler for all of us in common, God, who is the author of this law, its promulgator, and enforcing judge. Whoever does not obey this law is trying to escape himself and to deny his nature as a human being. By this very fact, he will suffer the greatest penalties, even if he should somehow escape conventional punishments." Aria #2
The Neo-Tech 2003 World Summit Tropicana Hotel and Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada November 21-23, 2003 KEYNOTE ADDRESS November 23, 2003 [edited for book publication] Chariots of Fire are Coming! [Vangelis’s Chariots of Fire playing forte -- fades to silence during the opening two sentences] The Neo-Tech Chariots of Fire are coming. What does that mean? What will that mean for your future? Most of you here today know Neo-Tech’s original connection to creating unbeatable casino-like odds. …I am now going to disclose a dark secret about being unbeatable that few if any Neo-Tech readers realize. A secret that would have made Aristotle snap his fingers in recognition. First, to review: Travel back 45 years when a young, Senior Research Chemist at E. I. du Pont de Nemours, Dr. Frank R. Wallace, discovered a near-perfect microcosm of today’s lethal anticivilization. He strove to understand that microcosm. Once understood, he learned to control it, profit from it, and then escape its trap by obsoleting it. That microcosm was high-stake poker. Wallace uncovered its dark secret. He then wrote the world’s best-selling poker book (www.neo-tech.com/poker/). With crystal clarity, his book identified the dead-end trap underlying poker -- an irrationality trap that diminishes everyone’s future. Yet, how many poker players heeded that hard fact? Did Wallace’s book eliminate or even diminish poker? No, not at all. Instead, his book, first published in 1968, started America’s poker boom. For, that book revealed how to hustle ever-more games and how to evolve oneself into becoming an “unbeatable casino” that profitably exploits a world of poker losers. While only a few players strove with the extreme discipline and effort required to create those unbeatable casino-like odds for themselves, only a tiny few of those players heeded Wallace’s most-important message: The unbeatable player must abandon poker to harness his earned abilities to achieve a much-more profitable, romantic, and enjoyable life. Thus, most of those unbeatable players just kept promoting and hustling ever more networks of games to expand their “easy” winnings extracted from a world of sad-sack losers. Some unbeatable players became lowprofile, full-time professional players -- a few became multi-millionaires. Others became high-profile public players -- a few became famous by winning the annual World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, Nevada. [Editor’s note: Today, many are champion winners on reality TV.] Those elite few players put forth the required Discipline, Thought, and then Control -- the DTC technique - to become unbeatable over any long term by creating and maintaining favorable odds, just as casinos do. Such players are not gamblers because they cannot lose over any long term. By contrast, gamblers are gamblers because they cannot win over any long term. Those elite few unbeatable players continually profit from losers -- gamblers -- who irrationally surrender their money while wasting irreplaceable chunks of their lives. ...And, for those unbeatable few? Most, of course, never heed Wallace’s most startling and paradoxical discovery: The unbeatable player -- the biggest winner -- is ultimately the biggest loser. After publishing his deadly-effective poker book, Wallace heeded his own discovery and abandoned the world of poker. He then applied his discoveries far beyond the boundaries of poker to gain much-greater rewards. That is
why Neo-Tech exists today rather than just another wealthy poker professional who created no new values for himself, his loved ones, or humanity. Meaning of that Paradoxical Discovery Wallace generalized and then applied his poker discoveries to today’s irrational anticivilization. Eventually, as happened in poker, despite delivering ever-increasing profits, Neo-Tech itself began revealing its ultimate deadend result if one remains in an anticivilization (e.g.: remaining in the world of poker). For, remaining in such irrational environments eventually drags one down and destroys every conscious value, including life itself. *** Jumping conscious life over anticivilization boundaries requires obsoleting the old by creating the new. Classical Neo-Tech dynamics let one flourish within today’s closed-boundary anticivilization. Individuals must now jump beyond those boundaries into limitless realms. For, human consciousness by nature is designed to function without boundaries -- freely, limitlessly, agelessly. Thus, once boundless and free, human consciousness fulfills its natural state of forever flourishing through non-aging health and limitless creativity as dramatized in Mark Hamilton’s forthcoming trilogy, The First Immortals -- first as children, then as adults, and finally as naturecontrolling Zons. Fixed Boundaries bring Increasing Losses A handful of brilliant Objectivists and Libertarians developed and propagated important ideas and outstanding values during the mid-20th century. Realize that perhaps a third of the original Neo-Tech concepts were inspired by -- but were not derivative of -- Ayn Rand’s Objectivism. Especially powerful were Rand’s profound identifications of altruistic-and-egalitarian utopianisms as being malevolent frauds manipulated throughout history by the parasitical-elite and criminal-ruling classes. In addition, as described in earlier literature, Neo-Tech ideas expressed in Frank R. Wallace’s 1970 Barron’s Magazine advertisement for The Capitalist Party of the United States were precursors to the Libertarian Party. Yet, to gain the riches streaming from Pax Neo-Tech, one must jump beyond previous boundaries to obsolete every closed system -- including Objectivism, Libertarianism, and even classical Neo-Tech. Intransigent adherents to obsolete systems become losers in life, subject to exploitation, often by a dogmatic authority or revered guru. For example, one observes how some of the brightest, most-articulate, mostvoluminous posters on both Objectivist and Libertarian newsgroups become trapped within closed boundaries as they shrink into seemingly-safe circles of “certainty” -- “certainty” proclaimed certain by someone else -“certainty” proclaimed certain by some external authority such as Ayn Rand. Similar to dead-end poker professionals who live for meaningless money wins, dead-end Objectivist-andLibertarian posters live for meaningless ego wins. Functioning from intellectual straightjackets, they never seem to actualize their creative potentials that lie beyond the barbed-wire fences of authority-proclaimed orthodoxy. Thus, they squelch their independence and creativity while dissipating their time, talents, and lives. For bright Objectivists and Libertarians to waste their precious lives spinning within someone else’s closed circles is a sin. Yes, too many Libertarians and Objectivists politicize and philosophize their lives away to reap barren ends. ...Consider what a fellow Usenet poster recently said of them -- “You are people who haven't done much, slamming people who have done a lot.” Moreover, as with religious fundamentalists, the blind defensiveness of trapped ideologues too often turns into adhominem attacks, nasty incivility, even physical threats. Thus, in foolish spectacles, many intelligent-and-talented people fade toward null points. To them, say this: Wake up! Cut loose from your spout-much, accomplish-little lives. You need not shrivel into unpleasant personalities. You need not waste your lives as losers. As perhaps your
past idols sadly did, you need not deprive yourself of living richly-prosperous lives, enjoying enduringly-romantic love, and building eternally-valuable families. *** Nullifying Dishonesties and Irrationalities The 1990s Clintonian era metastasized dishonesties into every aspect of life and society. A decade later, both hidden-and-overt dishonesties have become so widespread and accepted among the media, academe, politics, religion, and the courts that most people no longer distinguish honesty from dishonesty. Moreover, the derivatives of honesty -- honor, trust, kindness, and civility -- are now fading from public awareness. Entrenched dishonesty is the nut to crack for conscious life to (1) survive on Earth and then (2) flourish forever into the future. Will we crack that nut? Today’s surface indicators suggest not. For, through “big-lie” dynamics, ever-more destructive dishonesties and their resulting irrationalities are morphing into blindlyembraced Hollywood “realities”. Indeed, many celebrities, journalists, academics, lawyers, and politicians today rationalize their conjured “realities” as “truth”. Thus, politically-correct Orwellian hoaxes befall human life as the public today increasingly feels blatant dishonesties and blind irrationalities as newspeak truth. …When such arbitrary feelings replace honesty and rationality, the conscious mind has no defense mechanism. Conscious life then crashes, burns, and disappears -- perhaps into mushroom clouds or plague-contorted corpses. Yet, each dishonesty and irrationality is vulnerable to the nullification dynamics of Neo-Tech. As illustrated throughout Pax Neo-Tech, such nullifications profitably flip the impoverishments of our dishonest political/religious anticivilization into the enrichments of an honest business/science civilization. The Neo-Tech Mandate [memento mori] Few Earthlings, including Neo-Tech readers, grasp the need to obsolete the best of today’s politics and philosophies. Yet, such obsolescence is Neo-Tech’s mandate, which becomes starkly-clear upon realizing that Earthlings must abandon mortally-flawed anticivilization artifacts or end dead. Still, essentially no one integrates that mandate into his or her intellect or emotions. Why? Because it means demolishing one’s own closed-circle, mortal agendas designed to “get by” in this lethal anticivilization, perhaps even gaining some fleeting wealth and fame before death. Thus, during one’s brief life, each person is compelled to “grab” before dying whatever furthers his or her anticivilization agenda by any open-or-hidden means -- such as by value-creating/public-protecting means as with Ayn Rand and George W. Bush -- or by valuedestroying/criminal-apocalyptic means as with Adolf Hitler and Osama bin Laden. Beneath arrays of good-and-bad actions, all agendas operate through mortal dynamics in which everyone ends dead. Moreover, essentially everyone today shuns the awesome responsibility inherent in achieving eternal life on Earth. Starting in 2006, however, that transcending responsibility will radiate from volume two of Mark Hamilton’s trilogy, The First Immortals as Adults. Now comes Neo-Tech’s mandate to obsolete Earth’s anticivilization by replacing old certainties and close-ended thinking with new insights and open-ended thinking: Consider the totally-new thinking and insights that unfolded when Einstein obsoleted Aristotle’s 2500-year-old “absolute certainty” of fixed time and space with the new fact of relative time and space. Finally, consider the fallacy of “absolute-certainty” -- the fallacy lodged in Aristotle’s syllogism: All men are mortal; Socrates is a man; therefore, Socrates is mortal"
Yes, as with all other animals on Earth, mortality is the nature of human life without consciousness. But, immortality is the nature of conscious life throughout the Universe. Thus, replace Aristotle’s syllogism with the new fact of the yet unrealized immortal nature of human consciousness on planet Earth. Most humans are conscious Consciousness by nature is immortal; therefore, Most humans by nature are immortal. Aristotle’s ancient syllogism is replaced only now because, prior to Neo-Tech, essentially no anticivilization citizen understood, strove for, or lived by one’s universal conscious nature. Now, consider the 2500-year-old oedipal dynamic of youth advancing by killing their elders. In an anticivilization, such a dynamic seems necessary. However, that ancient, deeply-embedded/kill-the-elders dynamic will dissipate as limitless prosperity and reverse aging nullify the dishonesties of politics and irrationalities of religion. In that new eternal-life dynamic, elders gain ever-more vitality and experiential power in creating everlengthening chains of competitive values and new knowledge. Youngers tap into and then branch those chains by creating ever-new values in building their own chains of unique knowledge for their youngers to tap into and branch from. Such matrix-building dynamics between elders and youngers then advance conscious life at everquickening paces. ...The world’s largest and most successful chemical company, E. I. DuPont de Nemours, Inc. provides an excellent pre-immortal example of a powerfully-advancing, multigenerational family dynamic: The DuPont Family Dynamic (http://www.neo-tech.com/neotech/discovery/nt4.html) The DuPont family from the early 1800s to the mid 1950s founded, built, and controlled the largest, mostbenevolent, highest-return-on-investment company in history. Yet, during the 1950s, the United States Government Anti-Trust Division unjustly and destructively broke that company into pieces, including the forced sale of DuPont’s subsidiary -- giant General Motors. …If the government had let DuPont expand naturally, competitively, and without limits that scientific-research wonder would have advanced Earth’s lethal anticivilization toward the Civilization of the Universe -- but probably not into that universal civilization without the “immortality” understandings rising from Neo-Tech. Today, however, Pax Neo-Tech quantum jumps beyond that DuPont model by aiming for individual biological immortality here on Earth. …Thus, no more King-Lear scenarios. No more Oedipus-Rex fates. No more overthrowing and killing the father. Recall that in Greek mythology, before their pagan gods became immortal, the gods would kill their fathers to seize power. Thus, Zeus killed his father, the titan Kronus. Likewise, Kronus had killed his father, the first supreme-ruler of the universe, Uranus. And, Zeus feared being killed by his son, Heracles. That cycle of patricide ended when the gods became immortal. …Likewise, today’s cycles of direct-and-indirect homicides of conscious life on Earth will end when conscious life meets its ultimate responsibility of curing aging and death. Mortality into Immortality What would make biological immortality feasible and achievable on planet Earth? The operative word is “commercial”. For, commercial Biological Immortality is the sorting mechanism that reveals who understands, desires, and accepts the tremendous responsibility of terminating the anticivilization by curing the diseases of dishonesty, crime, aging, and death. …Free-market dynamics will discover those who supremely want and strive for the ever-greater responsibility of immortal life. Others by their own choosing will continue along their selfterminating mortal trajectory until no more mortal humans remain.
Terminating the Anticivilization In certain ways, Pax Neo-Tech operates as a spy working to terminate the anticivilization. Consider that a spy embedded in the Nazi regime would heil Hitler while working to terminate him. However, to terminate an anticivilization, a Neo-Tech “spy” must operate on much deeper-and-subtler Illuminati levels than anyone could suspect. …Showing only iceberg tips, Pax Neo-Tech operates mainly beneath its visible waves. Consider the multi-layered Illuminati “spy” dynamic in the following Neo-Tech letter of November 2003 to President Bush: 2003 Letter to President Bush “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” President Reagan demanded in 1987 after he had proclaimed to the world in 1982 that the Soviet Union was an evil empire. Reagan defied the outraged howls of socialist/fascist politicians chorused with their parasitical-elite cohorts, bias-manipulating media, and Marxist-haranguing academics. He made those demands against an enemy threatening the lives and properties of every American. With those actions plus Reagan’s economy-booming tax cuts and military buildup, especially his antiballistic-missile program, the uncompetitive Soviet Empire financially-and-politically collapsed. …President Reagan decisively won the nuclearthreatening, 35-year cold war without a shot fired. Now, President Bush, comes your turn to be equally clear and decisive to win Earth’s final war -- the war of two worlds -- the war against international terrorists and genocidal Jihadists threatening annihilation of America and the Western World. You must now expose and condemn the root cause of those who impoverish and mass murder the innocent. That root cause is religion -- not just Islam, but also Christianity, Judaism, Socialism, Fascism, and Populism. Those theistic-and-secular religions function via fictional scriptures, whimsical laws, populist parasitisms, demagogic nationalisms, and utopian ideologies. Indeed, their irrationalities, dishonesties, and criminalities have caused three catastrophic millennia of crimes, miseries, and genocides. President Bush, you must now publicly identify the seminal axis of evil beyond Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. That axis of evil is religion, scriptures, and fascist socialism -- irrationality, dishonesty, and criminal parasitism. ...First, win the 2004 elections. Then having to win no more elections, cut loose from the past: Stop your “God Blessings”. Stop pandering to socialist/fascist populism. Stop being a man of faith. ...Become a man of rationality and honesty. Start by publicly denouncing every religious-and-political irrationality, dishonesty, and criminality. Each is a manipulation that brings harm and ultimately death to everyone on Earth. You must expose and then denounce those manipulations for America and the world to survive and prosper into the future. Reach into the depths of your rational mind and honest character. Bring forth the most loving-andcompassionate gift that you or anyone could deliver to America and humankind. Denounce every facet of theocracy, tyranny, and criminality. Denounce every mythical God and political demagogue. For, they are the forces that covertly and overtly destroy human prosperity, diminish human intelligence, degrade human dignity, and kill human life. The stark lesson of September 11, 2001 is fading. Support for the world war on terrorism is not only slipping away but is changing to resistance, obstruction, and sedition from many quarters -- not just from political opponents and freedom haters but from many of your previous supporters. Yet, you must not let mounting oppositions and hate-driven seditions undermine our government’s prime responsibility to protect the lives and properties of its citizens. You must strengthen, not weaken. ...You are the Commander-in-Chief of America’s military forces. You alone in this world have not only the legal-and-moral authority but also the military means to defeat a world of genocidal terrorists.
*** Only governments legally and overwhelmingly control the use of force. Irrational supernaturalism and religion along with criminal socialism and fascism must thus be stripped from every facet of every government, starting with the world’s most powerful-and-influential nation -- the United States of America -- led by you, Mr. President. Under your leadership, America must eradicate the genocidal capacities of religious terrorists and political tyrants. ...You must denounce and nullify the lethality of religion and politics. Factual rationality and honesty -- not baseless belief and faith -- will show why and how to nullify that twin hoax of religion and politics. You and America shall then be victorious. Stunning will be the effect rising from the most moral act by any leader in history. After the initial shock of such clean-sweep honesty shall come waves of world relief on realizing that the President of the United States has explicitly identified and discredited that unspeakably-cruel, 2500-year-old twin hoax of religion and politics. Such rational and honest words shall fall upon the ears of humanity as history’s greatest blessing. Courage, Mr. President. Break free from history’s past delusions. You can and must end the genocidal destructions flowing from religion and politics. …Become history’s greatest benefactor. Face it! President Bush is the only person on Earth today, in November 2003, with the legal power and military means to prevent biological, chemical, radiological, and nuclear obliterations of America. Realize this: The only valid justification and function of any government is to protect the rights to life, property, and contract of each individual citizen by objective law and protective force -- nothing more, nothing less. Chariots of Fire Beyond the walls of our anticivilization lies Pax Neo-Tech ready to rumble round the world, powered by four flaming Chariots arriving in 2005 and 2006: (1) Mark Hamilton’s profoundly-moving trilogy, The First Immortals as Children, then as Adults, and finally as Zons, (2) the mystic-breaking book by Eric Savage and Tracy Alexander titled No More Lies -- Breakthrough to Enlightenment, (3) Mark Hamilton’s prosperity miracles found in his books The Neo-Tech System along with his master work The Neo-Tech World, and (4) Rosa Maria Wallace’s excitingly-moving revelations in her book Romantic Love Eternal. Five clean-sweep actions designed to obsolete today’s anticivilization flow from Pax Neo-Tech riding those flaming chariots: Action #1: Switch from terminal Anticivilization nonthinking to eternal Civilization-of-the-Universe neothinking. ...Switch from insanity to sanity. Action #2: Recast Neo-Tech literature into anonymous digital bullets that on impact splinter the anticivilization. With most of the world populations unaware of Neo-Tech, the firing of those wealth-generating bullets will degrade the anticivilization bit by profitable bit. ...As the anticivilization splinters and fades, the need for those bullets will also fade as the honest-and-rational Civilization of the Universe unfolds here on Earth. Action #3: Demonstrate the quantum nature of human consciousness [editor’s note: See Aria #3, Liberating our Quantum Consciousness]. The prize is to empirically identify quantum units of thought called thinkons. Perhaps we will detect the first evidences of thinkons in our “quantum-computer” right brain as Eric Savage suggested in his talk this morning. While wholly speculative at this time, such fundamental units of thought could be controlled, directed, and programmed to generate ever-more productive and creative activities of everwider scopes and values.
Action #4: Seek among Neo-Tech’s forthcoming Overlay Charts evidences, perhaps even proofs, for conscious control of the universe in the past, now, and/or in the future. ...Note that, even today, Earthlings are reaching beyond our planet to increasingly control nearby segments of the cosmos -- our solar system. Action #5: Obsolete today’s classical Neo-Tech. Obsoleting Classical Neo-Tech First, realize that Neo-Tech’s drive to obsolete its own classical anticivilization advantages does not apply at this time to any of us here or to anyone else. For each of us today, utilizing the full array of Neo-Tech Advantages in this dangerous anticivilization is essential for achieving open-ended prosperity, even physical survival. Yet, also realize that the ultimate aim of Pax Neo-Tech is to obsolete all anticivilization dynamics. The logic of non-aging immortality is premised on conscious life obsoleting today’s anticivilization. On that premise, imagine emerging into a free-enterprise civilization that is always safe, secure, and booming -- always free of sickness, crime, and war -- always happy, exciting, and romantic. Then, imagine freed conscious life exponentially advancing business, science, technology, health, and art over the next thousand years...even over the next hundred years or in just the next few years. From that perspective, achieving commercial non-aging mind/body immortality becomes not only logical and obvious, but becomes fully natural and essentially certain. Yet, today, only a minuscule few Earthlings intellectually grasp, psychologically accept, and emotionally embrace the goal of achieving immortal prosperity and happiness here on planet Earth. Fewer still realize the inextricable link between free-enterprise prosperity and achieving mind/body immortality. What about the Immortalists? Starting with history’s first recorded immortalist -- Gilgamesh -- five millennia ago up to today’s Cryonicists and Life Extensionists, they all miss the essential laissez-faire/businessscience/freedom link to achieving biological immortality here on Earth. Thus, they remain, trapped in everencircling anticivilization boundaries -- never breaking free to understand, much-less clarify, their fuzzy, nonviable goals. Everyone today lives among dead populations walking. Each is walking into a terminally-declining existence. However, Pax Neo-Tech driven by Chariots-of-Fire literature can reverse that lethal walk, turning it into a sprint toward non-aging health with eternal prosperity here on Earth. …Consider the following three points: 1. Three millennia ago, pre-conscious bicameral man had no way to understand consciousness. Thus, he could not evolve into consciousness. As Professor Julian Jaynes of Princeton University identified in the 1970s, the use of consciousness became widespread only after its discovery as a powerfully-advantageous survival tool during the catastrophic collapse of bicameral civilizations three-thousand years ago. 2. As Eric Savage pointed out in his talk this morning, a European from the Middle Ages injected into today’s society could perhaps adjust to the technological advances. Still, that person would probably be unable to understand and adjust to today’s profoundly different way of thinking. Instead, that person would be hopelessly lost, wanting only to flee back to his or her familiar thinking mode of the Middle Ages. That person would especially be fleeing from today’s individualist age of competitive value producers and creators -- fleeing back into the collectivist age of the fixed social classes in the Great Chain of Being. ...Those fixed classes “mandated by God” began breaking apart amid the turmoil of 17th-century England and Europe, especially during England’s reign of William and Mary. ...That Great Chain of Being was finally shattered in individualistic, frontier America. 3. What happens when age-old nonthinking of an anticivilization encounters profoundly-different neothinking of a universal civilization? The nonthinker flees. He or she flees the awesome responsibility of achieving eternal prosperity. By fleeing the awesome responsibility of achieving eternal prosperity, that person declines and then
dies in the millennia-old mode of lethal politics, religions, and utopianisms with their cynically-promised life-afterdeath frauds. Thus, today, two routes seem possible for the populace to evolve into the Civilization of the Universe: One route is via the widespread distribution and use of the coming Neo-Tech Chariots of Fire literature and the coming Neo-Tech bullets. Backed by that new literature, those inescapable bullets will methodically splinter and then profitably nullify the dishonesties and irrationalities of an anticivilization as explained in Pax Neo-Tech. The other route is the powerfully-advantageous survival tool that such thinking -- neothinking -- would provide during a catastrophic economic/terrorist collapse of today’s anticivilization. …Will Earthlings escape their anticivilization matrix of life-terminating deceptions? If so, by which route? *** Finally, let me explain why this De la Rosa World Summit is the last Neo-Tech summit -- and why that may be the best news. But, first, I want to hail whom I believe to be the most genuinely-happy spirit in today’s anticivilization -- a beautiful person who brings to us her happiness made from the love of life as we travel toward the Civilization of the Universe. Let us emblazon our own spirits by remembering this lovely beam of light -- this enduring beacon of joy, this amazingly-wonderful person -- our free-spirit Summit impresario, Rosa María Wallace. …What a woman!
[presentation of roses to Rosa María Wallace by two children] So, why is this the last summit? Time is the answer. Each principal at Neo-Tech Publishing Company must, before it is too late, muster all possible time and energy to obsolete and then sweep away this anticivilization. How? With Pax Neo-Tech powered by the coming Chariots-of-Fire literature combined with shattering Neo-Tech Bullets and unifying Overlay Charts. Now for that best news: When you read Volume Two of Mark Hamilton’s trilogy, The First Immortals as Adults, you will discover the exhilarating gatherings of those who are evolving into the Civilization of the Universe. They gather for the sheer enjoyment of honest value creators synergistically benefiting one another. Such gatherings yield increasing pleasures, romance, and values as most of you have begun tasting during the precursor to those “vacations” -- Rosa Maria’s World Summits. So, farewell until we meet again for those magnificent “vacations” on the beaches, in the mountains, and across the great cities of our world. May we gain the time needed to succeed. May we meet again before long. Then, across the endless span of time, we shall celebrate our lives together in a new society woven throughout the joyfully-free Civilization of the Universe. To paraphrase the opening line of Giusseppe Verdi’s Nabucco, “Fly, Thought, on Golden Wings”: Fly, NeoTech, over the fences of today’s mortal Anticivilization into tomorrow’s immortal Civilization of the Universe. [The summit concluded with Verdi’s prelude to Nabucco symbolizing the unification in brotherhood of tomorrow’s Universal Civilization] Aria #3
Liberating our Quantum Consciousness Seven Notes for the Future (December 2003) 1. Current computers at terahertz speed (a trillion computations per second) would take 154,000 years to factor a 300-digit number. …A quantum computer would take less than a second. 2. A quantum bit (qubit) upon entanglement with other quantum-bits delivers limitless information over a universal range. 3. Consciousness comprises the mind and body as an inseparable unit. A unified inward-computing brain and outward-perceiving body is required not only for consciousness but also for a person’s unique self -- his or her Iness: The human brain is almost certainly a deductive quantum computer. From the brain alone, as with any computer, no uniquely-new knowledge or actions can arise. However, when combined with the magnificent humanbody sense organ, romantically-reproductive man and woman become powerful inductive creators of ever-new knowledge, actions, and values reaching ever-deeper into nature, across ever-expanding existence. 4. Upon fully understanding quantum actions throughout the human brain, Earthlings could perhaps construct algorithms to unleash their brains as quantum computers that could factor 300-digit numbers nearly instantly. But, with that quantum-computer brain combined with the human-body sense organ, conscious people could also understand, then control, and even create nature throughout the cosmos as first proposed in Dr. Frank R. Wallace’s 1983 article The Long Wave and reprinted today in The Neo-Tech Discovery. …Also, scientists can perhaps ultimately understand conscious free-will via quantum mechanics. 5. Many physicists today effectively and profitably harness the mathematics and theories of Quantum Mechanics. Yet, no one today fully grasps its underlying dynamics, especially relative to, for example, quantum gravity. Earthlings, therefore, have barely tapped the potential of Quantum Mechanics, especially relative to human consciousness and its control over space-time nature. 6. Likewise, many people effectively and profitably harness the ideas and tools of Neo-Tech. Yet, no one today fully grasps its underlying dynamics -- its information entanglements with the past, present, and future of universal existence. Pax Neo-Tech, for example, comprises many specifics that any reader can easily understand and profitably utilize. Still, who today fully grasps Pax Neo-Tech’s entanglements across time and space to experience open-ended prosperity and to profitably control existence? 7. A liberated human consciousness focuses on neither governments nor gods -- on neither leaders nor rulers. Instead, it focuses on obeying the laws of nature in creating the three widest-scope conscious values. Those eternal values are never-ending health, prosperity, and happiness. Other Notes on Liberating Human Consciousness By evolving self-leading conscious minds, Neo-Tech obsoletes our authority-obeying animal brains. In that way, Neo-Tech exchanges today’s group-think politics, religion, and philosophy for tomorrow’s individual-think business, science, and art. ...Neo-Tech replaces dependent, bias-driven populations with independent, free-thinking individuals. Spirituality sans Mysticism Without blind beliefs and faiths -- without mysticisms -- can spirituality exist? “Mysticism equals spirituality” is an age-old canard -- a malevolent canard. For, in fact, only in the absence of mysticisms and its dishonesties can meaningful spirituality and effective compassion exist. …Neo-Tech vanishes mysticism step by step as so clearly and gently revealed in Tracy Alexander’s and Eric Savage’s forthcoming 2004 book, No More Lies -- Breakthrough to Enlightenment.
Moreover, only in the absence of bias, dishonesty, and intolerance -- only in the absence of arbitrary belief and faith -- can a unifying spirituality and compassion emerge among conscious life. Such mystic-free spirituality and honest compassion also yield love and romance that transcends pain and suffering as illustrated throughout Rosa Maria Wallace’s forthcoming 2006 book, Romantic Love Eternal. ...Her book reveals a spiritually-romantic happiness beyond any real-life Heloise and Abelard or fictional-life Romeo and Juliet. Mark Hamilton’s forthcoming 2006 trilogy, The First Immortals, is the pinnacle of spirituality, compassion, and love. That mystic-free, emotionally-compelling opus reveals how prosperous, non-aging life can emerge here on Earth via free-enterprise business, science, and art as mapped by Pax Neo-Tech. *** Homer’s Iliad and The Odyssey bestrode the bicameral and conscious worlds of three millennia ago. Dante’s Divine Comedy bestrode the medieval and renaissance worlds of seven centuries ago. Neo-Tech’s 1996 publication, Profound Honesty, bestrides today’s anticivilization and tomorrow’s universal civilization. ...Homer turned the page with the Iliad and wrote about a new conscious life in The Odyssey. Dante turned the page with the Divine Comedy and wrote about a new enlightened life in La Vita Nuova. Neo-Tech turned the page with Profound Honesty to reveal a limitless life in the forthcoming 2006 publications, The First Immortals and Pax Neo-Tech. Overcoming our Hard-Wired Animal Brain As throughout the past three millennia, obeying the commands of an automaton hard-wired brain will leave one mortally infirm. Overriding that obsolete animal brain with a self-invented, knowledge-creating conscious mind will free, enrich, and leave one vitally healthy. Start by Resolving the Moon Dilemma Look at the harvest moon low on the horizon. It appears extraordinarily huge and beautiful. Most people today assume that phenomenon to be an optical-magnification effect or an external illusion -- like the distortedappearing rising and setting sun or a desert mirage. Scientists now realize that the harvest moon looks huge entirely because our hard-wired, non-conscious animal brain makes us to see it that way when low on the horizon, juxtaposed along Earth’s skyline. With new knowledge today, our conscious mind lets us understand that such seeming moon enlargements are not external optical phenomena, but are delusions arising from our automatic animal-survival mechanism detailed in previous NeoTech literature. …Briefly stated, that pre-conscious survival mechanism is related to primitive man’s need to judge the size, for example, of wild animals at a distance by the relative sizes of juxtaposed landscape objects such as hills, trees, and other objects. With our self-created conscious mind, one can easily demonstrate that the harvest-moon phenomenon is a delusion coming from within our nature-given, automaton brain: Take a coin, hold it out to just far enough to cover your view of that huge-appearing moon. A few hours later, with the moon high in the sky, now appearing much smaller -- normal -- one will see that the same coin held at the same distance provides the same coverage as for the huge-appearing moon a few hours before. Our natural brain is hard wired, as is every animal brain, to increase survival chances for the individual self. But, then, nature trumps survival for the individual with survival for the species. Thus, every animal is hard-wired programmed first for immediate survival, next for reproduction, then finally and irrevocably for death to remove that spent animal from its species habitat and food supply to make way for the evolutionary-improved next generation. However, by inventing consciousness three millennia ago, Earthlings jumped profoundly beyond nature’s evolutionary processes. Earthlings jumped toward obsoleting aging and death as described throughout the Neo-
Tech literature. By advancing beyond the dynamics of nature, humans also gained, for the first time in human history, a conscious-caused depravity that today combines both the desire and ability to destroy their own species. And, today, Earthlings are on track to do just that. Now, to expand on the above paragraph: As extensively described in previous Neo-Tech literature, man’s invention of consciousness resulted from the breakdown of his pre-conscious, hallucinating bicameral mind as discovered in the early 1970s by the late Princeton University psychology professor, Dr. Julian Jaynes. ...Dr. Frank R. Wallace in his 1980 national award-winning article (www.neo-tech.com/neotech/discovery/nt3.html) further developed and then dramatically advanced Jaynes’s theories. Throughout the Neo-Tech literature, Wallace demonstrates that consciousness is a part of neither nature nor its evolutionary processes. In fact, he demonstrates that conscious individuals can surpass and obsolete the processes of nature by creating their own superior natures and self-evolution processes. A person might not be able to break the hard-wired delusions such as that of a harvest moon. But, anyone can overcome that or any other such hard-wired delusion with one’s own conscious mind. How? By simply gaining the knowledge needed to understand the reality behind any illusion or delusion. *** Non-human animals have non-conscious brains. Without consciousness, they are innocent. Without consciousness, they cannot be dishonest, irrational, or self-destructive. Thus, without consciousness, they cannot be criminal or evil. But, human beings, with their discovery of consciousness, lost their innocence. Only they can contradict nature. Only they can be dishonest, irrational, and self-destructive. Thus, only they can be criminal and evil. Or human beings can nobly seize their gift of consciousness by surpassing and then controlling nature to yield eternal prosperity, non-aging health, and romantic happiness. How? By evolving a universal business/science/art civilization for themselves, their loved ones, and all humanity -- here on Earth -- now and forever into the future. The Responsibility of Conscious Life is to Achieve Eternal Happiness Nature’s hard-wired destiny for non-conscious man, as for any animal, is brief survival, reproduction, and then eternal death. By contrast, the responsibility of self-determined conscious life is the creation of ever-new knowledge to understand, control, and then surpass nature with never-ending prosperity and non-aging health. Value-generating business and ever-creative science combined with universally-beautiful art can forever enrich and flourish each individual conscious life. Coda #1 Golden-Nugget Outtakes (Date of Outtake) #1 -- September 2001 All human beings have the natural desire to know. Aristotle Animals and human beings exist within the control of nature Only conscious minds can exist beyond the control of nature Thus only conscious minds can understand and then control nature. Neo-Tech
*** The Evolution of Thinking Pre 10,000BC From the pre-Neolithic age, non-conscious humans lived as highly-intelligent animals roving in packs or herds. 8000BC to 500BC In advancing from the Neolithic age into post-Neolithic ages, bicameral minds broke into consciousness about 1000BC as hallucinating civilizations became non-hallucinating civilizations. 500BC to Estimated 2010AD During this Pathological age, conscious minds operating through irrationalities and mysticisms devolved bizarrely-destructive, political/religious anticivilizations. Estimated 2010AD Onward The coming free-market business/science/art civilization will naturally evolve toward a Universal Civilization that flips (1) self-doubt/faith-following mortal minds into (2) self-confident/self-commanding immortal minds. *** For 2500 years, people have lived and died in schizophrenic societies. For 2500 years, political-and-religious miscreants -- neocheaters -- have usurped livelihoods and power by manipulating delusions throughout the populace. Their lethal tools include: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
socialist/fascist/populist/nationalistic politics, egalitarian/collectivist/utopian philosophies, a non-existent God or Gods, Scriptures, Bibles, Qur'ans, arrays of mysticisms, scientisms, and occultisms, a willingness to live via profuse dishonesties, irrationalities, and criminalities, frauds hidden in politically-correct/force-backed extortion laws and envy-based income taxes. envy -- it is humanity’s most destructive manipulation tool. To understand the destructive power of envy -- a power that can destroy humanity -- first know the difference between envy and jealousy: Envy wants to destroy the good because it is good; jealousy wants to possess the good because it is good. Envy is the most ignoble of vices. As Plutarch said, “envy is the ulcer of the soul”. Indeed, envy has no boundaries and usually grows with time. By contrast, hate and anger have boundaries and usually diminish with time. ...Envy seeks to destroy the values of conscious life. Envy is the driving force behind the Islamic Jihad against the West. The following quote from Usenet reflects the upside-down pathology dominating today’s anticivilization: “Most anticivilization citizens enviously despise those who keep them healthy and alive while ignorantly revering those who sicken and kill them.” In an anticivilization, business and science are lashed as Prometheus to a rock of envious malevolence. Politicians, journalists, academics, clerics, celebrities, and parasitical elites steeped in hatreds of competitive value creators and producers return every day to peck out Prometheus’s innards. Every
day they suck life-giving blood from competitive business and science. …After 2500 years lashed to that rock, who or what can unbind Prometheus? Heracles could not. Shelley could not. Can Pax Neo-Tech advancing in a hail of Neo-Tech Bullets free Prometheus? Can the life force of Neo-Tech unleash competitive business, honest science, and creative art to bring never-ending prosperity, non-aging health, and ever-happy romance to conscious life on Earth? In realty the most-noble-and-heroic individuals are neither kings nor saints, neither politicians nor celebrities, but are those light-and-life givers who honestly-and-productively create competitive jobs, values, and beauty for others and society. Only they are worthy of kneeling reverence. #2 -- October 2001 Since Pericles in fifth-century BC Greece, every democracy self-destructs in seas of dishonesties and irrationalities. Why? Because the electorate and elected become symbiotically infested with “gimme” populism and criminal socialism/fascism. In that process, earned capital is increasingly forced into parasitical hands -- a process that continually diminishes conscious life toward decline and death. If not the politics of democracy, then what? Realize that the responsibility of consciousness is to render human life eternally creative, prosperous, and joyful. That responsibility falls upon neither politics nor religion, but on conscious individuals fulfilling their value-creating/value-producing nature. The way to meet that responsibility is not via a rule-by-men populist democracy but via a rule-by-law constitutional republic that protects the life, liberty, property, and sanctity of contract for each-and-every individual. *** On July 4, 1976, America’s 200th birthday, Neo-Tech’s first publication, Psychuous Sex, forecast the crossing of a nuclear-decision threshold within two generations -- a crossing that could end the human race. Earthlings crossed that threshold on September 11, 2001 when the political-and-religious terrorists became willing and able to annihilate human life in America via financial-and-weapon enablers in Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. ...They all must be defanged or America loses. Perhaps those religious Jihadists will start by detonating on Wall Street an easily-made radiological bomb packed with intensely-radiating cesium-137 with a half life of 30 years or even more-deadly strontium-90, causing the evacuation of several million residents and rendering Manhattan and perhaps the surrounding boroughs uninhabitable. Or, will they harness bio/chemical weapons and sooner-or-later nuclear weapons to annihilate human life by the millions? *** Among the most-harmful aspects of today’s long-term war of survival against genocidal terrorists is its assetand-attention-draining effect that prevents the economic, technological, and biomedical focus needed to achieve reverse-aging/non-aging health. #3 -- November 2001 Islam? Look what Islam today does to millions of young Muslim men. Islamic mysticism devolves them into unhappy, socially-inept incompetents. Muslim clerics then whip them into envious, “kill-'em-all” rages against arrogant, decadent infidels -- against happy, free-spirit Americans.
Christianity? Look what Christianity did to the brilliant mathematician/engineer Blaise Pascal. As Nietzsche bitterly-and-unforgivingly observed, Christianity turned Pascal into a babbling delusionary hallucinator. And, the resolutely honest-and-principled mathematician/astronomer Giordano Bruno? Christian prelates burned him alive at the stake for his unyielding integrity. [Late note: A comprehensive article about the Catholic hierarchy’s key role in Hitler’s rise to genocidal power is found in: The Great Scandal: Christianity's Role in the Rise of the Nazis.] Judaism? Where and when did murder in the name of God begin? In the Western world, it began with the ancient Jews. Consider the following excerpt from Joshua and the Promised Land, pp. 23-24 by Roy H. May, Jr. : The most disturbing aspect of the Book of Joshua [Chapter Six] is the divine command to commit mass slaughter. In Hebrew, this is herem or ‘ban’. God required that certain things be ‘devoted’ only to death and destruction. Some things were reserved for religious functions. According to the ban, enemies were to be completely exterminated. …In this theological tradition, such destruction was to be dealt out because ‘foreigners’ or nonIsraelites were viewed as impure idolaters. They deserved to die because their ways were opposed to Yahweh. The ban was required to remove obstacles to Yahweh. Even more malevolent is the conception of a Christian/Muslim afterlife that yields a no-escape ‘end time’during which everyone on Earth is violently murdered with hateful premeditation and malice. By contrast, the benevolent conception of a free-market business/science/art civilization that yields a never-occurring ‘end time’ in which each conscious life on Earth happily flourishes forever. *** Qur'anic commandments expand, overlap, and then consolidate into psychotic incentives to exit a Muslim’s miserable life via a martyr’s glorious death. For example, death by killing infidels means swapping a hard, loveless, wretchedly-boring earthly life for a no-effort, luxuriously-debauched afterlife of romping forever with seventytwo, sloe-eyed virgins. …Enjoyment of life on Earth is bad; enjoyment of death in heaven is good. Life is bad; death is good. “Look, it says so right here in the sacred Hadith,” proclaim nefarious and hypocritical mullahs to their youthful dupes. Equally nefarious and hypocritical are the money/power-extorting Christian leaders such as businessshakedown-racist Jesse Jackson and race-war-bigot Al Sharpton. Gleaning parasitically-sumptuous livelihoods, they both lie and defraud with impunity to lead their duped followers into becoming enviously-enraged losers. …Bin-Laden/Mullah-Omar demagogues inspire losers to kill infidels who love life, freedom, and prosperity. JesseJackson/Al-Sharpton demagogues inspire losers to loot businesses run by gooks, hymies, and honkies. And, what about sanctimoniously-dishonest evangelists Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson who maliciously blamed the unreligious(!) and gays in America for the September-11th mass-murder attacks upon the United States? #4 -- December 2001 Background Consider Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics designed to cultivate the goal of conscious life -- enduring happiness. Aristotle identified happiness in three types of friendship -- the friendship of pleasure, the friendship of utility, and the greatest-and-rarest friendship -- the friendship of virtuous character. Friendship of character, however, first requires earning self-virtues. Cicero (106-43BC) later identified friendship and envy as opposites: Friendship yields benevolent advantages. Envy yields malevolent destructions.
…The golden prize comes when, in a rising business/science/art civilization, Aristotle’s three friendships meld into happily-profitable camaraderie among conscious life. Cicero also identified that romantic love involves looking into each other’s eyes; friendship involves looking in the same direction. And, the melding of Aristotle’s three friendships forms the foundation of ever-enriching romantic love. …From such friendship and love arise a universal civilization in which conscious life is never defrauded, never assaulted, never destroyed. Finally, Cicero, the most revered and quoted moral philosopher for 1800 years (De Officiis "On Moral Duties”), postulated the exact opposite of Machiavelli (The Prince). For example, Cicero: No immoral act is expedient over the long term; all moral acts are expedient over the long term. By contrast, Machiavelli: Any act that gets and holds power is expedient. …Both men were accurate: Machiavelli spoke from the context of a mortal Anticivilization. Cicero spoke from the context of the immortal Civilization of the Universe. Neo-Tech Roots Politics, religions, and most philosophies are generally rooted in history’s most original-and-comprehensive thinker -- Plato. He represents the unreal, higher-realm seeker of illusions via mind-created ‘realities’. By contrast, business, science, and Neo-Tech are generally rooted in history’s most realistic-and-important thinker - Aristotle. He represents the commonsense, earth-bound seeker of knowledge via nature-created reality. Neothinking Roots Neothinking is rooted in Socratic wide-scope questioning and Aristotelian wide-scope logic. Neothinking yields optimum competitive advantages -- often at Aristotle’s golden mean. Also, consider Aristotle’s cardinal virtues: They are the three non-manipulative character virtues of courage, temperance, and justice plus the intellectual virtue of prudence offering practical wisdom yielding reliable judgments. By contrast, Christianity’s cardinal virtues are the four manipulative virtues of faith, hope, charity, and humility. …Which set of virtues stimulates competitive creativity to yield prosperity and health throughout humanity? Which set of virtues stifles competitive creativity to yield stagnation and death? Creative Destruction In 1952, Austrian-economist Joseph A. Schumpeter was quite correct in his identifying the economic-and-social benefits of competitive “creative destruction”. Neo-Tech, for example, often involves the creative destruction of the corrupt, the stagnant, and the regressive. Indeed, an essence of Neo-Tech involves the nullification of those scourges by competitively leaving them behind to dry up, shrivel toward null points, and then forever blow away. #5 -- January-July 2002 Seventy-billion dollars were lost in the great crash of 1929. But, who are responsible for the seventrillion dollars lost in the year-2000 stockmarket crash? Moreover, who are responsible for the even-greater, mortgage-debt liquidation losses to come? Bush, Enron, and September 11th are not. They are not the root cause of the debt-ridden housing bubble to burst probably after the 2004 elections, perhaps as late as 2009. Al, Bill, and Bob are the root cause. In the 1990s era of endemic dishonesty, the economic troika of look-good/sound-good Bill Clinton, Alan Greenspan, and Robert Rubin set up a decade-long time bomb -- perhaps a Freddie-Mac/Fannie-Mae housing-loan meltdown and then a debt-liquidation debacle occurring years after they are safely out of office.
Political-genius President Clinton started the looming debt crisis in February 1993 when he began corrupting the supposedly nonpolitical Federal Reserve. He lured fame-and-romance seeking Federal-Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan into breaking both precedent and principle by having him embarrassingly sit politically in the president’s box next to Hillary Clinton during her husband’s first State-of-the-Union address. From that moment onward, former Gold-Standard/Ayn-Rand-acolyte Greenspan freely bought into the media/celebrity approval of Clinton’s self-serving, political-and-economic machinations. Greenspan then swooned and sold out to Keynesian machinations in accommodating Clinton’s agenda. Al’s Story (1993-2006-2010) Fed Chairman Greenspan joined by a suave Robert Rubin readily conspired to plant an “after-I’m-gone” time bomb of unsustainable debt: Arriving in the mid 1990s, the manipulation genius of the new Secretary-of-Treasury “silent” Bob adroitly facilitated the tax-raising Clinton/Greenspan pyramid schemes. Rubin designed an artificially high dollar to mask inflation and foster lower interest rates. “Rubin the Regulator” then corrupted the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to bail out his Wall-Street banking cronies facing debt defaults from Mexico and elsewhere. …Rubin thus corrupted the global system of international debt to the lasting harm of especially the working classes in developing countries. Most harmful to America, Rubin created delusions of budget surpluses and falling government debt by covertly “borrowing from” (plundering) social-security funds from which most baby boomers will never collect. Thus, that Clinton-Greenspan-Rubin troika kept inflating their debt bubble. To facilitate that bubble, they created an era of accounting frauds to hide deteriorating government-and-corporate balance sheets along with unsustainable debt growth that continues to this day -- and possibly continuing until even after the 2008 elections before the debt collapse is complete. Especially dangerous are the unchecked interest-free/low-interest/variable-rate mortgages combined with frivolous debt-driven consumption -- a well-proven formula for personal, family, and social disasters. …That bubble will continue to inflate for perhaps three to six more years before deflating -- probably during President Bush's second term if he wins in 2004. Bush or any future American President, however, has a way to escape that debt collapse by creating an economic boom to generate earned capital and liquefy balance sheets faster than any possible forced debt liquidation. How? By (1) nullifying the IRS through the economic “miracle” of replacing income taxes with consumption-and-use taxes, (2) similar to repealing in the early 1930s the disastrous 18 th Amendment that prohibited the sale of alcohol, the even-more disastrous 16th Income-Tax Amendment must also be repealed to prevent income taxes from ever again emerging in America, (3) privatizing economy-draining Social Security and Medicare Ponzi schemes, and (4) tort reform that eliminates fraudulent business-looting lawsuits. #6 -- February 2002 Mysticism Unbelievable what people believe in, act upon, and embrace. They believe in rank stupidities often blended with the ignorances of mindless crowds. They embrace breathtaking irrationalities and mind-numbing mysticisms
ranging from astrology to angels. They act upon life-damaging scientisms and life-destroying superstitions. As a result, they embrace camouflaged cults that propagate lethal faiths and utopian ideologies ranging from Christianity, Islam, and Judaism…to Populism, Fascism, and Socialism. Art/Religion/Romance Neo-Tech’s precursor, nonbeliever Mark Twain, demolished anticivilization icons, especially with his fictional character, Huckleberry Finn. Huck is perhaps the only moral spirit in artistic/romantic literature who never surrendered to the anticivilization. In the end, he “lites out” from the anticivilization and alone heads toward new frontiers -- toward the Civilization of the Universe. Through Pax Neo-Tech, one discovers new frontiers that allow spirituality to grow not through religion or mysticism, but through art and romance -- a spirituality that flows forever into the future. Neo-Tech aligns with Schopenhauer’s and Nietzsche’s conception of art transcending Earth’s anticivilization. ...Art reflects the redeeming values of conscious life. Philosophy/Politics/Neo-Tech Studying and understanding philosophy offer values and advantages in an anticivilization. For example: In 1967, the works of Objectivist-founder Ayn Rand inspired the birth of Neo-Tech. Yet, realize that Neo-Tech is not a philosophy. Instead, it offers a hitherto unknown form of thinking -- neothinking -- honest, wide-scope statistical thinking. Such thinking yields profitably-predictive knowledge coming from the past, moving across the present, and then integrating that knowledge into a never-ending future. In addition, through its 1970 ad in Barron’s magazine outlining a future “Capitalist Party of United States”, I & O Publishing Company (the forerunner to Neo-Tech Publishing) served as a precursor to the Libertarian movement and party. *** What became increasingly negative about Objectivism and Libertarianism was their fixed ideologies becoming petrified within unchanging boundaries. Such petrifaction dooms every closed-system ideology -- good or bad. Thus, today, the unchanging old guards of Objectivism (dogmatically-fixed certainties) and Libertarianism (arbitrarily-selected certainties) are increasingly lost, confused, and impotent -- stuck in their obsolete “alchemist” past. Because of certain narrow-scope or tunnel-vision views, the founders, leaders, and followers of the Objectivist and Libertarian movements exhibit at times gross naïveté and ignorance about crucial realities ranging from indeterminate quantum mechanics to self-defense war against genocidal Jihadists. Consider the twin foundations of philosophy -- Plato and Aristotle: Plato the father of philosophy -- stunningly original, brilliant, and comprehensive -- was dynamically evolving during his lifetime. For the next two-and-a-half millennia after his death, however, politics and religion ossified and then destructively dogmatized his volumes of poetic philosophy. As the most recent examples, tyrants Hitler, Stalin, and Mao dishonestly ripped Plato philosophy out of context to justify their bloody totalitarian rule. Likewise, Aristotle the father of earthbound commonsense philosophy and science was also dynamically evolving during his lifetime. After his death, as with Plato, his philosophical works became ossified and then destructively dogmatized ironically, for example, as an out-ofcontext philosophical justification for both Christianity and Islam.
Neo-Tech by contrast is not a philosophy. By its very nature and definition, Neo-Tech always evolves throughout the changing Universe of space and time. No one can ossify or dogmatize Neo-Tech. For, it always changes to adapt to an ever-changing eternity. Neo-Tech forever unfolds open-ended knowledge that determines the future by dissolving the dishonest biases and ideological boundaries of politics and philosophies. ...Neo-Tech liberates those trapped inside narrowscope/tunnel-vision prisons. Finally, consider the following letter sent to an Abuse Manager for Usenet newsgroups: Dear Abuse Manager, Thank you for forwarding a net-abuse/spam complaint about a Pax Neo-Tech posting to a libertarian newsgroup. Ever since establishing the www.neo-tech.com website in 1996, fervent Libertarians and Objectivists have reacted with energetic flames and ad-hominem attacks across the Internet. In fact, the orthodox Objectivists rushed to establish a fully-moderated newsgroup -- humanities.philosophy.objectivism -- explicitly and solely to forbid even mentioning the word Neo-Tech! Even a cursory examination of the occasional Pax Neo-Tech postings, including the attached sample you sent, reveals such posts lack any attribute of spam or net abuse. In fact, the content of each post is stingingly relevant to that newsgroup. Neo-Tech, moreover, does not advertise, promote, or sell on the Internet -- not even on its own web site, much less on Usenet. Instead, each post reveals new developments beyond previously-posted Neo-Tech information. Indeed, the unfolding new revelations posted once every several months present a disturbing problem for those flamers and complainers. For, each updated post further reveals why orthodox Libertarianism and Objectivism are declining toward irrelevance. Those with vested interests in stagnant Libertarianism and dogmatic Objectivism understandably flame essentially every Neo-Tech post. For, each such post further erodes their waning positions. Yet, their complaints as the one you forwarded to me constitute in themselves an abuse of spam-protection services since those flamers have no legitimate complaint. Instead, they are trying to manipulate your service into “saving their appearances” by banning relevant facts that demonstrate their obsolescence. …They are desperate to stop valuable-and-revealing posts that they do not want their followers and admirers to peruse. Now consider the following Neo-Tech post made to an Objectivist newsgroup:
Why Neo-Tech Occasionally Posts on Usenet Pax Neo-Tech is evolving through a unique accretion process involving 150 to 300 or more separate printout editing cycles for each chapter. Every few months, Neo-Tech Publishing posts newly-revised chapter drafts of Pax Neo-Tech on a selected Libertarian or Objectivist newsgroup. The postings are for both educational-and-editing purposes. To construct a book that can be published continuously for decades while producing many millions of dollars in revenue streams involves relentless editing of (1) Usenet-text versions, (2) web-html versions, (3) msword versions, and (4) book-formatted versions. Each newly-edited version guided by URL web statistics gives uniquely-different psychological views yielding ever-deeper, ever-wider, ever-more-valuable editing integrations. Most important, NTP believes that Pax Neo-Tech is the first book edited and formatted from not only (1) daily statistics for hits on each of its URL pages, but from (2) real-time hits streaming live as the author actually makes his edits and format changes. ...Because of the several-thousand daily hits to those pages, NTP considers such editing decisions as statistically sound, including its A/B split-run editing tests. Before elaborating on the financial-and-longevity value of such edits, consider the following: Most Usenet users post quick, first-or-second draft material. Yet, some posts reflect seemingly effortless writing of exceptional quality. Especially on Objectivist newsgroups, some posts seem so well-written and knowledgeable that one admires the poster's fluid ability and nimble expressiveness. Yet, the value of even the best, most-impressive posts is shallow and ephemeral -- lasting but a few hours, or at most a day or two. Those posts then fade from existence, leaving essentially no values behind. …So, what is the point of such prolific, no-value postings? A much-smaller group of thoughtful Libertarian-and-Objectivist intellectuals exert considerable care and time composing articles or op-eds of exceptional quality that are occasionally published in major magazines and newspapers. Those articles exhibit longer, more-widespread impact and value. Still, the value of even those articles generally fades over a period of days, weeks, or at most a month or so before passing into oblivion, yielding few if any lasting values. And, finally, the pinnacles of Libertarian-and-Objectivist intellectual talent might spend years to write books of varying value and longevity, led by value/longevity champion, Ayn Rand. …Today, however, a new champion emerges: Pax Neo-Tech quietly rises from wide-scope facts and fully-integrated honesty woven into a matrix of the past, present, and future. Its first volume reveals a slice-and-dice dynamic that profitably undercuts today’s opinions, beliefs, faiths, and philosophies that harm everyone, everywhere on Earth. Of course, Pax Neo-Tech has passages that offend nearly everyone. Nevertheless, Pax Neo-Tech gradually overtakes the reader as he or she realizes it holds the long-hidden key that opens conscious life to limitless-and-unending success through clean-sweep honesty combined with personal discipline, thought, and then control. …Such edited literature yields unique values that over the years and decades increase in effectiveness and marketability. Here is the other secret to the expanding commercial success of Neo-Tech Publishing (NTP): It and its authors remain sharply independent from the thinking and expectations trumpeted by both today’s Establishment and its mirror-image Anti-Establishment, which are really the same currency in each being lethally-plagued in close boundaries.
Bottom line? Neo-Tech books yield continuing revenue streams ranging from several million dollars per title to over 120-million dollars for its lead title, now in its 64th English-language printing, plus many millions more for books published in 13 languages and sold in 170 countries. …NTP directs its entire income stream into quiet probono, break-even marketing programs for maximum time-bomb infiltrations worldwide. *** Neo-Tech Publishing Company invites talented posters to study the evolvement of Pax Neo-Tech on its web site. From that understanding, perhaps they can learn to convert their own skills into revenue streams that increasingly benefit a world of honest-and-rational individuals at all levels of society and in all cultures. #7 -- 5/30/02 More on Objectivist Philosophy Breaking free from anticivilization boundaries of philosophy requires obsoleting today’s most beneficial philosophy -- Ayn Rand’s Objectivism. Still, today, despite being its intolerant cult leader, Dr. Leonard Peikoff produces genuine values and competitive products for others and society -- values that probably exceed the net values delivered by all his ad-hominem detractors combined. ...Those bogus detractors do not, however, include intellectually-valid critics of the absolute-certainty/perpetual-truth cult that unfortunately arose from Ayn Rand’s largely valid work. Objectivist cultists measure their worth on how well they know and can expound on someone else’s philosophy -Ayn-Rand’s philosophy. Thus, as Roman stoic Epictetus identified two millennia ago, ‘scholars’ immersed in and living through the fixed ideas of another lose their capacities to generate original thoughts and ideas. Moreover, such ‘scholars’ tarnish Rand’s legacy while misguiding the minds, lives, and happiness of many bright, young idealists. At the expense of independently-honest thinking, cult followers demand an Ayn-Rand world of unchanging certainties and perpetual truths, neither of which exist in reality. …Only unchanging honesty exists. Cult-following Objectivists do not let themselves realize that their great fictional heroes -- Howard Roark in The Fountainhead and Hank Rearden in Atlas Shrugged -- knew little or nothing about philosophy, much less Objectivism. Instead, they achieved their admirable characters and remarkable value creations not through metaphysics, epistemology, and politics but through honesty, rationality, and effort. Both Roark and Rearden functioned in the trenches with principled integrity while creating action-engaged art and highly-competitive business. Thus, they were both emotionally empathetic and excitingly real. By contrast, Ayn Rand’s mega-hero John Galt functioned aloof through static philosophy. Thus, while his intransigent words were important and valuable, he seemed stilted -- not empathetic or real. …Indeed, the exceptionally-heroic Galt seemed at times more like a detached cult guru. In any case, orthodox Objectivists must break free from their cultish entrapments to thrive into the future. Consider examples of non-cultist Objectivists: Dr. David Kelley and Dr. Nathaniel Branden. They broke free from orthodox Objectivism to deliver wider values to others and society. Today, Kelley’s Objectivist Center at www.objectivistcenter.org/ publishes valuable literature. Also, one still finds exceptional scholarship coming from Peikoff’s Ayn-Rand Institute at www.aynrand.org/. Both organizations merit financial support. …Neo-Tech
Worldwide especially recommends a subscription to the daily email news commentary from pro-reason, proindividual-rights perspectives (without the cultish certainties of orthodox Objectivism) published by The Intellectual Activist at www.intellectualactivist.com/subscribe -- an outstanding time-saving value. More on Libertarian Politics Breaking free from anticivilization boundaries of politics also requires obsoleting today’s most beneficial form of politics -- Libertarianism. Most Libertarians, including its two-time presidential candidate Harry Browne, are good-intentioned, morally-decent value producers. Nevertheless, as Neo-Tech predicted from the insufferably boring, inaccurate post-office vilifications of his past two presidential campaigns, Harry Browne would sink the Libertarian political party. ...That sinking came with his narrow-scope, “principled” thinking -- his recklesslyignorant “Blame-America” declarations immediately following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. To flourish, Libertarians must jettison closed-boundary ideologies that embarrassingly morph into blind stupidities often contradicting and undermining the only legitimate libertarian function of government -- protect the individual rights and properties of its citizens against government, crime, and terrorism. Libertarians would do best by dropping politics and focusing on their mostly valid-and-important ideas on freemarket economics. A good step in that direction is reflected in valuable albeit uneven work by the libertarianoriented Cato Institute (www.cato.org) and the Reason Foundation (www.reason.org) along with its somewhatconfused but still-valuable Reason Magazine. …They too merit financial support. Also, despite its several misguided, narrow-scope applications of Libertarianism, the International Society for Individual Liberty (www.isil.org) is recommended for (1) utilizing its flow of pro-freedom information and (2) supporting financially its valuable international efforts exposing crimes and oppressions of foreign governments. …ISIL’s efforts help advance Neo-Tech’s goal of nullifying today’s anticivilization worldwide. The most-complete source of Libertarian/Objectivist literature is found at www.laissezfairebooks.com -recommended. *** A note of justice: Since his disastrous September-11th statements, Harry Browne has suffered withering personal attacks. But, most of those ad-hominem attacks emanate from much-lesser people than Harry Browne. Such attackers ignore the life-enhancing values delivered to millions of individuals in his 1972 best-selling book, How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World. *** More on Literature and Historical Giants What about Neo-Tech’s seemingly championing James Joyce’s novel Ulysses over Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged? What about Neo-Tech’s seemingly championing St. Francis of Assisi’s Canticle of the Creatures? What about NeoTech’s seemingly championing real Brother Sun, Sister Moon, and the Stars over fictional John Galt, Dagny Taggart, and Francisco d'Anconia? How can one explain such seeming contradictions? Did anyone detect the faintest Mona-Lisa smile flicker across Neo-Tech’s poker face? Remember that Neo-Tech has no spin, is never cynical, never cheats, and acts shrewdly, not impulsively. It benevolently works outside of today’s fixed boundaries. Its Socratic-Galilean approach quietly, continually, profitably subverts today’s
anticivilization in multiple ways, on countless fronts. That approach eschews loudly-intransigent, LibertarianObjectivist approaches that are constantly shot down in this dishonest, gun-backed anticivilization. To stress once again, Neo-Tech is not a philosophy. It casts no spells and embraces no followers. It has neither allegiances to honor nor axes to grind. It has neither commandments to obey nor commitments to fulfil except to honesty and the supreme value of conscious life. Ayn Rand’s Objectivism is a semi-formal philosophy that is mainly derivative of Aristotle, Locke, and Nietzsche. Objectivism, nevertheless, is an originally-integrated -- brilliantly-integrated -- philosophy with no major internal contradictions as presented in Leonard Peikoff’s outstanding 1991-treatise Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand. Objectivism offers a theoretical, deductive-based system for rational thinking in an irrational world. Yet, too often, Ayn Rand falsely applied her own philosophy via self-promoting generalizations deduced from a single cherry-picked fact or from a few narrowly-selected, out-of-context facts. She applied such fragmented facts to attack her targets of ‘evil’, about which she often had sparse knowledge. Egregious examples include adhominem attacks on competition such as Immanuel Kant and his philosophical works. Offering mainly bluster, not evidence, she publicly and persistently denounced Kant as “the evilest man who ever lived”. With gross unfairness, she mocked Immanuel Kant’s frail, physically-diminutive stature. Her unfair denouncements also encompassed an ‘evil’ Plato, an ‘evil’ Descartes, an ‘evil’ Hegel, and a host of other ‘evil’ competitors. Incidentally, ‘evil’ Georg Hegel followed by warped-logic but brilliant-intellect Karl Marx used history -- as does Neo-Tech -- to identify and understand an anticivilization. They identified dialectical development -- the struggle between thesis and antithesis followed by synthesis. ...That struggle is what they believed “advanced” an anticivilization. Rand had no concept or understanding of effectively dealing with an omnipresent anticivilization and little understanding of her bitterly denounced competition. Also, realize that her declared ‘super-evil’ postmodern philosopher Jacques Derrida validly identified that facts and truths are manipulated constructs used to support anticivilization power structures. ...Hegel, Marx, and Derrida provide potent ammunition for profitably undermining and nullifying their lethal anticivilization. By misapplying her Objectivism, Ayn Rand also unjustly denigrated outstanding artists such as Thomas Wolfe, James Joyce, Rembrandt -- even Shakespeare and Beethoven! To this day, Randian cultists continue chanting the same ad-hominem mantras. The tragic consequence is that scholars encountering Rand’s smeared subjects stop cold at such careless applications of Objectivism. Thus, they dismiss Rand without ever knowing much less benefiting from her brilliantly integrated work. Early Neo-Tech literature occasionally fell into that same intellectual sin by too rigidly applying narrow-scope ideological ideas to events and people. Neo-Tech literature today, however, accesses the widest-and-fullest context of anticivilization history. Thus, Neo-Tech’s early classical viewpoints shifted or reversed concerning, for example, certain historical notables such as Alexander the Great, Plato, Augustus Caesar, Abraham Lincoln, and Winston Churchill. After all, they each had to live and function in an anticivilization -- that is all they knew. In that context, most historical greats performed admirably, even heroically, to benefit their times in history.
Lincoln especially incorporated Neo-Tech understandings to his time in developing pro-business/free-trade, antislavery/anti-theistic, malice-toward-none courses of action. Honest Abe also understood the primacy of honesty over the manipulations of truths. …At the same time, the expanding knowledge and integrations of Neo-Tech brought forth a few scattered errors and tarnishing problems for shining historical greats such as Aristotle, Thomas Jefferson, and Ayn Rand. In bypassing and obsoleting Objectivism, Neo-Tech authors today do not return to their early works and correct occasional narrow, premature, or erroneous views. For, reading those earlier views helps one understand the evolution of Neo-Tech as an open-ended process of applying fully-integrated honesty and wide-scope accounting that continually evolve new understandings, knowledge, and perspectives. Over the past three decades, the dynamics of Neo-Tech generated thousands of factual points, historical citations, and empirical observations from the widest perspectives to induce a single-point conclusion: Earthlings unnecessarily live in a bizarrely-unnatural anticivilization. From that single-point conclusion, Neo-Tech harnesses profitable business actions that undermine and will ultimately nullify today’s anticivilization. *** To grasp the easy-to-read minimalist Joycean allegory -- Al’s Allegory in Coda #3 -- ignore the woefully ignorant religious-right and cultist-Objectivist scornings of James Joyce’s novel Ulysses. That hard-to-read novel is perhaps the supreme work of literature art in the twentieth century. Ulysses is the art of opposites via similarities. It weaves stunningly-unique vertical timelines into internal consciousness. It is the first major “stream-of-consciousness” structure in literature. Once understood within its maddingly-complex style, Ulysses rises to an unparalleled artistic achievement yielding countless literary innovations and contemplative values. ...Joyce subsequently went overboard with his 14-year absurdly-overwrought “masterpiece” mess, Finnegans Wake. By contrast, Ayn Rand’s easy-to-read novel, Atlas Shrugged, is perhaps the supreme work of philosophical art in anticivilization history. Once understood within their limitations, Rand’s works yield many effective and practical values. Also, recognize Rand’s stellar nonfiction intellectual work, Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology. Finally, recognize that although too many of her avid cult followers ended with romantically-miserable/unhappily-barren lives, Rand’s moral-and-principled philosophy delivered over fifty years of life-enhancing values for living more rationally in an irrational anticivilization. Incidentally, Ayn Rand was not the first major writer to express a philosophy through fiction. Jean Paul Sartre was the first with his novel, Nausea. His novel expressed the Existentialist idea of the ill-ease one experiences when focusing upon his or her anticivilization existence and then realizing the meaninglessness of life that ends in nothing -- life that ends in eternal death. Mark Hamilton’s trilogy, The First Immortals due in 2004, flips that sadfilled meaninglessness into joy-filled meaning by shifting perspectives from today’s anticivilization yielding death for each conscious person -- into tomorrow’s Civilization of the Universe yielding eternal growth for each conscious person.
Neo-Tech does, however, coincide with the Existentialist idea that the individual is what a person makes of him or her self. Each individual alone is responsible for creating his or her essence and character, which is determined by that person’s self-chosen actions and non-actions. ...The five hallmarks of Neo-Tech are (1) fully-integrated honesty, (2) nonbiased, wide-scope/statistical thinking, (3) ever-growing knowledge, (4) self-responsible human health, (5) value-oriented romantic love. #8 -- 6/1/02 Neo-Tech and Nature Understanding nature comes from its predictive order rising from seemingly-arbitrary disorder. For example, (1) understanding chemistry from Mendeleyev's demonstration of nature's powerfully-predictive periodic order within the chemical elements, (2) understanding particle physics from various Noble Laureates uncovering nature’s highly-predictive order via their Standard Model of quarks and leptons, (3) understanding order-inchaos dynamics from Feigenbaum’s and Mandelbrot’s discovering nature’s predictive order via self-organizing fractal patterns, and (4) finding an ever-wider predictive nature from Wolfram’s computer algorithms. …Analogous predictive models of human consciousness could emerge upon discovering nature’s hidden matrices of knowledge rising from prime units of conscious thought -- hypothetical quantum units called thinkons (see Aria #3 titled Liberating our Quantum Consciousness). Neo-Tech and Art Beethoven’s first-and-second movements of his Ninth Symphony express the unresolvable contradictions and inescapable strife in an anticivilization. The third movement provides exquisite relief through a divine journey toward the Civilization of the Universe gloriously expressed in the fourth movement as Schiller’s joy of universal brotherhood. Gustav Mahler’s sweeping symphonies of defeat and doom rising into redemption and victory inspired parts of Pax Neo-Tech. Mahler’s spiraling music emotionally answers where conscious life has been, why it is here, and where it is going. Pax Neo-Tech factually answers those same questions. …Neo-Tech is a litany of integrations reflecting the eternal beauty and power of human-created values streaming from business, science and art. Universal art strives for fully-integrated honesty. Thus, such art holds its same eternal beauty in “Heaven” and Earth alike -- in the Civilization of the Universe and the Anticivilization alike. …To paraphrase a line in Alexander Pope’s popular love poem, Héloise and Abelard: Start your journey into the eternal sunshine of the honest mind. In other words, start your journey into the eternal beauty of fully-integrated honesty embodied by Pax Neo-Tech. #9 -- 6/3/02 Politicians and government officials today make rhetorical gestures toward fulfilling their prime responsibility -toward protecting the life-and-property rights of their constituents. Too often those gestures lack sincere focus, sustained efforts, and meaningful results. Politicians and officials failing that single responsibility are unworthy of public office (as starkly illustrated in Coda #2 titled Pax Law). #10 -- 6/10/02-9/10/02 Today, the world remains a political/religious anticivilization über alles. Thus, even if commander-in-chief Bush wins the war against terrorism and ends government frauds, Earth’s survival with lasting peace and
prosperity depends on replacing his Augustus-Caesar/Jesus-Christ/Ozzy-Osborne anticivilization with a business/science/art civilization. #11 -- 6/18/02 Today, a hidden example of a potentially-genocidal fraud is global warming: The poverty-creating Kyoto-Treatytype laws are fashioned from the 1990s-chic dishonesties. Led by invidious demagogues, socialist/fascist green armies riot for spurious global-warming regulations that would cripple American businesses, plunge worldwide standards of living, and decay world economies. Those irrational regulations would ultimately shrivel human existence, especially for the poverty-stricken, third-world underclasses who would starve by the millions. …Applaud President Bush for withdrawing America from that irrationally-destructive and cruelly-dishonest treaty: Is global warming occurring? Yes, data today show global warming is a fact. Dishonesties, however, reign supreme as political environmentalists use demagoguery, scientisms, and outright lies to ‘prove’ that humans cause any significant global warming (see www.oism.org/oism/s32p31.htm). Just as celebrity-verified ‘science’ proved a generation ago that humans caused global chilling, today that same celebrity-verified ‘science’ underlying the Nader/Gorean Greens is mostly based on continuous political/business-hating dishonesties: Want proof of humans causing global warming? The Snows of Kilimanjaro is melting! screeches semi-literate ‘ecoscientist’ Barbra Streisand. Scientifically valid, statistical examinations of long-term weather trends show that the combined activities of humans today have little or no measurable effect on nature’s overwhelmingly-massive weather patterns that alternatively produce life-diminishing ice ages and then life-enhancing warm ages. That fact becomes evident upon analyzing the world climate changes during the past 12,000 years, from the Neolithic Age to the present age. Most important, global warming brings the greatest natural benefits to human life. For, increased solar warming brings mega increases of free, clean sun energy to this world. Through the millennia, global warming has been the single greatest variable in nature for increasing human standards of living. Global warming means huge expansions of arable land yielding more-and-better food with improving living conditions not only for human life, but for plant and animal life as well. Ask Russian President Putin why he is eager for global warming. Ask his constituents in Siberia why they want to experience global warming. Global warming would also reduce the world’s need to burn air-polluting fossil/hydrocarbon fuels -- oil, coal, wood, and peat fuels. …So, when man can noticeably increase free-and-clean solar energy via global warming, bring him on to do the job! #12 -- 6/21/02 A final example of life-destroying dishonesty is today's obesity epidemic, especially in America. That epidemic arose from the decades-long, government-driven, politically-correct low-fat-diet fraud. Realize that ingesting and metabolizing fat does not cause fat. Note, however, that a high-fat diet may increase heart risks, especially for people who are not aerobically fit. See Dr. Kenneth M. Cooper's classic book, Aerobics, for an understanding of and criterion for aerobic fitness -- 30-minutes or more of sustained fast-heartbeat running, swimming, biking, fast walking, or other fast exercise -- at least three times a week. Or even better on alternate days (to allow for the needed 48-hour recovery of each muscle/joint group worked) do brisk 15-30 minute muscle-toning workouts and on alternating days do the health-critical 30-40 minute aerobic workouts. Drawing from the research behind the 1960s Canadian Air Force diet (from which Dr. Atkins developed his famous low-carbohydrate diet), Neo-Tech literature has stressed since 1976 that sugar and carbohydrates, not fat and protein, metabolize into diabetic/heart-attack blubber fat. Consider today’s rapidly escalating consumption of sugars and carbohydrates: Ingesting heaps of “low-fat” carbohydrate-loaded fruits, pasta, waffle ice-cream
cones, mega-gulp colas, and especially drug-like, Starbucks’ Venti Chocolate-Malt-Frappichino/diabetes-inducingtype drinks are ballooning Americans into freakish parades of lethally-obese, wrenchingly-unhappy, sicknessinduced humans. ...Realize that aerobic exercise is the première health dynamic, but exercise alone is not very effective for weight loss. Instead, eliminating the sugar narcotic and cutting carbohydrates is the première weight-loss dynamic. The evilest offenses and saddest tragedies arise from parents who ruin the health and happiness of their own children by inducing them to become obese. Consequently, many of those children suffer chronically unhappy/unhealthy lives. Some become diabetic to eventually experience amputated legs, blindness, and early death. Many such parents, often obese themselves, use the low-fat-diet hoax to rationalize for them and their children to pig out on drug-like diets of sugar-saturated cokes along with candies, ice cream, pastas, pastries, and other confections loaded with no-fat sugars and ‘healthy’ carbohydrates. …Inflicting such psychological-andphysical damage on helpless innocents is child abuse and physical mutilation in its most-cruelly destructive form. Each individual must take control of his or her body to create a happy, healthy life for self and loved ones. …Eat to live, not live to eat. #13 -- 6/26/02 Most anticivilization thinking is analog and circular. Such entrapped thinking recycles dogmas, irrationalities, and mysticisms that let neocheaters plunder human creativity and productivity over the millennia. By contrast, outside-the-bubble neothinking is digital and linear. Such freethinking yields the calculus for outflanking closeended dogmas, irrationalities, and mysticisms to deliver open-ended freedom, creativity, and prosperity. #14 -- 6/26/02 Pro-life Neo-Tech? Yes, Neo-Tech is genuinely-and-fully pro life -- pro conscious life. Neo-Tech rejects as blatantly dishonest the religionists’ usurpation of the “pro-life” label when they criminally force anti-life controls over the most basic-and-profound moral right -- the right to control and protect one’s own body. Anti-life religionists, be they fundamentalist John Ashcrofts or fundamentalist Mullah Omars, militate against the happy well-being of conscious life on Earth. ...A fetus is not a person -- a fetus is not conscious life -- a fetus is protoplasm belonging to a woman’s body, which is the most basic, inalienable property right possible. #15 -- 6/26/02 Applaud Judge Alfred Goodwin of the U.S. 9th-Circuit Appellate Court for his legally correct decision in ruling as unconstitutional the “under God” phrase politically injected in 1954 by religious-right Republicans into America’s pristinely-secular “liberty and justice for all” Pledge of Allegiance. That 1954-besmirched pledge became decidedly unconstitutional when forced upon children in tax-paid, government-run public schools. …“I’m under God? Who says I’m under your mystically-destructive deception called God?” Consider children in no-choice public schools (versus free-choice private schools) seeking honest understandings of reality. Forcing them into pledging to a lethally-irrational religious concept is not only unconstitutional, but is perniciously offensive. Many religious critics of Judge Goodwin’s decision, including President Bush, wrongly opine Thomas Jefferson’s agreement with the “under God” phrase. They cite his Declaration of Independence as proof. Jefferson, however,
never referred to a mythical “God”. Instead, he referred to “their Creator” and once to its deistic equivalent -“Nature’s God”. As many of America’s founding fathers, Jefferson rejected the theistic God concept. …Jefferson was a secular-humanist deist, not a mystical theist. To Jefferson and other Voltairean-enlightened personalities of that time, “their Creator” could be either (1) the nonconscious-forces of nature following natural laws or (2) a hypothetical conscious force controlling nature by obeying the inexorable laws of nature. Then the universe, once created, evolves according to its design -- either a nonconscious design or a hypothetical conscious design. In any case, the universe develops according to the laws of nature. …That Voltairean/Jeffersonian view parallels the Neo-Tech/Zon concept. Perhaps the most-valuable document in world history -- The United States Constitution -- is also a pristinelysecular godless document, as are the invaluable eighty-five Publius-signed letters of the Federalist Papers composed mainly by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay. Their lasting value and validity, as does the value and validity of Neo-Tech, arise from mystic-free common sense combined with the laws of nature. #16 -- 7/25/02 A runaway political class that includes even Alan Greenspan is a lot more dangerous to the markets and America’s prosperity than are a few crooked CEOs. The Wall Street Journal, July 18, 2002 Congress routinely commits financial flimflam that would land CEOs in jail. The Wall Street Journal, July 22, 2002 *** Today, in mid 2002, Daschle/Gephardt-led politicians strive to prolong and deepen the Clinton/Greenspan/Rubincaused stockmarket crash and economic recession until the 2002 elections and hopefully to the 2004 elections. How? By demagogically blocking Bush’s economic reforms and limiting his tax cuts. Or, even better, those politicians and their socialist/fascist/elitist-backed media hope to create a major failure in America’s war against terrorism. Many also hope for a bloodbath in Afghanistan with heavy American causalities. Why? To seize congressional power in 2003 -- and especially to defeat President Bush in 2004. Modern-day Daschle/Gephardt-type demagogues ultimately fail on all counts: Recall again Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment: “Future-great-man” Raskolnikov fails totally by seeking fame and power as ends in themselves. Thus, he would justify any means to achieve those ends -- including wonton acts of social destruction, criminal usurpations, even murder. #17 -- 8/6/02 Consider one unlikely source for the Neo-Tech Discovery -- the Mormons: As a group, though somewhat zombified, they are among the most business-savvy, financially-successful, and sexually-happy people on Earth today. In today’s anticivilization, Mormons are on a level with secular-humanist Jews as among the mostcompetitive, least-envious value creators. Still, the 20th-century Neo-Tech discoveries, not the 19th-century Mount-Cumorah tomfooleries, yield the decoded “Golden Plates” first inscribed twenty-five centuries ago by a real person named Aristotle, not thirty centuries ago by an imagined person named Mormon.
In 1830, upon usurping Islamic legends, Mormon-founder Joseph Smith concealed himself under a cloth hood. He then held two stones while pretending to decode mythical Golden Plates. From that act, he glibly spun a story plagiarized from a science-fiction novel, The Manuscript Story, by Solomon Spalding. Smith modeled his afterlife paradise with one’s entire family, including polygamous wives, in a modernized, less-destructive, moremature manner than Muhammad’s puerile no-effort, luxuriously-plush, sex-promiscuous afterlife free from responsibilities -- free from one’s family, including one’s wife or wives. …Smith and Muhammad were both charismatic masters who shrewdly foisted enduring delusions upon their followers. #18 -- 8/10/02 In 1983, the then Attorney General of Missouri, evangelical-fundamentalist John Ashcroft (the current U.S. Attorney General), attacked a secular-humanist, pro-choice publishing company with his destruction-minded bureaucrats. In 1986, the anti-abortion, theistic authorities of Reagan’s administration physically attacked that same publisher, I&O Publishing Company, hospitalizing its children-and-games editor. They then destroyed its Research Institute for Biological Immortality (RIBI). They seized its funds marked for clandestine, yet fully-legal, offshore stem-cell/cloning research that ironically might have prevented or cured Ronald Reagan’s Alzheimer's disease. They stole those funds without due process or filing charges. And, later, according to newspaper accounts, the government squandered those precious hard-earned research funds in a sting horse-betting scandal! …What irony upon irony. Then, in 1990, anti-atheist-crusader G.H.W. Bush violated the First-Amendment protection of free press and speech by using specious IRS charges to physically attack and falsly prosecute Neo-Tech’s founder and irreverent author -- Dr. Frank R. Wallace. Why? Because that infidel exercised his First-Amendment rights in publicly revealing political corruptions and government crimes via his (1) Government Guns and Fists newsletters and (2) high-visibility billboards erected across from the Federal Court Building in Las Vegas, Nevada. Continuing to write and express his views from prison, the ‘blaspheming’ author was silenced by suddenly transferring him in chains to an isolated desert-hilltop facility. Next, a Reagan-appointed Federal-District judge (who was also a Mormon bishop) ordered the ‘unrepentant blasphemer’ to undergo inquisition-like psychological examinations. …In 1992, the United-States Court of Appeals reversed that judge’s original trial and sentence. In 1993, the same United-States Court of Appeals reversed that judge’s order for psychological examinations of NeoTech’s founder. Because of his blindly-biased errors, that Federal District-Court judge, despite his basic decency, failed to get his most-coveted, fully-expected, and probably-deserved appointment to the Ninth-Circuit Court of Appeals. …Those who try to sink Neo-Tech should first consider who ultimately gets sunk. Rabid religious-right attackers of Neo-Tech (see www.neo-tech.com/comments/negative.html), contrary to their intentions, increasingly strengthened and expanded Neo-Tech’s publications into 146 nations in thirteen languages while gaining two-million new readers. Also, from that 1991 Socratic trial of Neo-Tech’s founder came his Honesty Oath (989, F.2d, 1015 -- 9th Cir. 1992). …That new-and-potent legal tool can ultimately bring honest, consistent, objective justice to American courts and eventually to world courts. *** What about Neo-Tech’s current quietude concerning its early 1990s dynamics that continually undercut the legitimacy of the DEA, EPA, FDA, INS, IRS, OSHA and other force-backed, net-destructive bureaucracies? NeoTech’s relentless, low-profile underminings of today’s anticivilization helped bring (1) the upset “Contract-withAmerica” anti-regulation election victories in 1994 (a contract later violated and discarded by Republicans) and
(2) the IRS-abuse hearings to Congress in 1997-1998 inspired by Neo-Tech’s website www.neo-tech.com/irsclass-action. But, today, in mid 2002, Neo-Tech, holding its poker face, silently says, “Don’t bet into temporary war hands of strength. Lay back, wait. Then, strike in the darkness of economic decline. Strike with unbeatable hands of business-and-science realities that uproot not only prosperity-destroying neocheaters but also their impoverishing laws, regulations, and taxes rising from political dishonesties, bureaucratic destructions, bogus scientisms, and criminal parasitisms.” #19 -- 8/25/02 Most historical facts woven throughout the Neo-Tech literature focus on Western Civilization. The reader, however, should be aware of the brilliant history throughout an independently evolved Eastern Civilization (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) over the past 5000 years. Until about a millennium ago, with miniscule contact and essentially zero influence from the West, those great Eastern cultures were at times a thousand years more advanced culturally, economically, and technologically than Western Civilization. The explanation for that millennium-advanced culture of particularly China over the West probably stems lies in the much-greater emphasis placed on education in the Eastern cultures during those times. China, for example, over the millennia put great emphasis on education with its stringent, highly-competitive examination systems required to attain positions of importance and power by merit rather than by privilege. *** Did that Eastern Civilization evolve through its own separate biological species, perhaps as first evidenced in the 1929-1933 discoveries of the “Peking-Man” hominid fossils from 500,000 years ago? Eastern Civilization evolved with essentially no contact with or influence from Western Civilization. Yet, that Eastern Civilization evolved in a remarkably-parallel fashion to the West: Starting about 10,000 BC, each evolved with its own unconnected yet amazingly-close parallels proceeding through their separate Neolithic, Bronze, and Iron Ages. Even more impressive are their totally-independent but closely-parallel evolvements of family life, stationary farming communities, religion, politics, and law along with each civilization’s equally impressive golden ages of philosophy, literature, technology, medicine, commerce, and art. Only until the Western-World Renaissance, its Enlightenment (Age of Reason), and finally its Capitalistic Industrial Revolution did Western cultures pull significantly ahead of Eastern cultures. ...Today, that trend is reversing with Eastern cultures constructively inching toward capitalism and Western cultures destructively inching toward socialism. *** Consider perhaps history’s three greatest teachers -- Confucius, Socrates, and Jesus. They were humanists who sought only knowledge and wisdom. By never locking their teachings in authoritative writings or documents, they each avoided solidifying and thus stagnating their evolving knowledge. Thus, their everseeking/ever-evolving quest for knowledge and wisdom continued to flow unimpeded by fixed biases, opinions, or prejudices. As identified in Eric Savage’s and Tracy Alexander’s No More Lies -- Breakthrough to Enlightenment, brilliant writers and cunning editors from about 100-400AD inverted the independent-thinking, pro-individualistic, anti-authority teachings of a gentle rebel -- Jesus of Nazareth. They then fictionalized him into a theistic mystic by
weaving an agenda-driven storyline into a poetically-seductive Bible that evolved into the King James Version written with extraordinary grace and beauty. Most interesting are the historically-factual, near-parallel lives of Confucius and Socrates (500-400BC): From entirely unconnected, independent cultures unknown-to-one-another, each great teacher developed amazingly-similar thinking and wisdom. Additionally, Confucius founded the Neo-Tech concept of “roots”: A growing tree without roots will topple over and die. Thus, growing knowledge without roots will likewise topple over and die. …The ever-deepening roots for building a universal civilization to create eternally-prosperous conscious life comprise the thorny matrices woven throughout Pax Neo-Tech. *** Now, back to those two separately-evolved Eastern-and-Western cultures: They each independently required about 3000 years for humans to evolve from nonconscious-bicameral minds to conscious-neothinking minds as explained in the first three scenes of Pax Neo-Tech, Act One. A scholar, therefore, might expect similar periods for the evolvement of bicameral minds into conscious minds and finally into neothinking minds for life evolved on any other Earth-like planet. Thus, the significance of those two unconnected, totally-independent cultures developing in parallel is that a similar parallel evolvement of conscious life would most probably occur on countless other Earth-like planets throughout our Galaxy and the Cosmos. Moreover, just as on planet Earth, each such planet would be capable of evolving ever-advancing/nature-controlling neothinking populations about 3000 years after their discovery of consciousness. *** Five Notes 1. Neo-Tech subscribes to Samuel Johnson’s (1709-1784) words: Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not. 2. Would moral-philosopher Marcus Aurelius, perhaps in his Book of Meditations, have recognized Pax Neo-Tech as nature’s serene path of universal evolution? Going further back, would pagan Homer have recognized Pax NeoTech as a tamed Zeus who had evolved into a single universe-advancing force? Finally, would biblical Moses in the Book of Exodus have recognized Pax Neo-Tech as the real “burning bush”? 3. As no other world literature, Pax Neo-Tech generates future-predicting knowledge through fully-integrated honesty, uncompromised rationality, and wide-scope accounting. That unique combination weaves together facts of the past and present into matrices that deconstruct today’s anticivilization. Combined with the coming Chariots-of-Fire literature, Pax Neo-Tech will affect how a crucial few think -- a new, universal way to think called neothinking. 4. Neothinking causes a paradigm shift in psychology that empowers the conscious mind to nullify religious-andpolitical dishonesties, irrationalities, and criminalities of the past, present, and future while unfolding a business/science/art civilization here on Earth. 5. Pax Neo-Tech is Opus 137 -- Neo-Tech’s creative work #137. Any significance of this work falling on the strange nonentity prime number 137? No mystical numerology here. The number is simply a nice coincidence. For, 137 is a
fascinating metaphor representing the still unexplained laws of nature about which new knowledge flowing from Pax Neo-Tech will ultimately resolve. See http://www.137.com/137/. #20 -- 8/31/02 This Act One was written between September 2001 and September 2002.. It represents 40% of Pax Neo-Tech. The remaining 60% to be published in 2006 was drafted before September 11, 2001 and comprises Acts Two and Three. The entire Pax Neo-Tech opus reaches backward and forward in space-time to meld the matrices of nature into accurate knowledge and predictions. Such matrices provide practical information needed to formulate unanswerable rap-like Neo-Tech bullets that can let entire populations benefit from Neo-Tech. For, without any explicit knowledge of Neo-Tech, powerless people can gain its advantages and profits by firing its steady flows of anonymous anticivilization-vanishing bullets at parasitical elites -- at neocheaters -- at targets of political, religious, and philosophical demagoguery. Neo-Tech is a knowledge-creating dynamic that becomes a fountainhead of competitive values traversing all ages, times, and places. Without boundaries or biases, Neo-Tech becomes a space-time protocol that lets conscious minds profitably understand the past, capture the present, and control the future. …Consider that Neo-Tech acts as a tree trunk growing to limitless heights supported by ever-spreading/ever-deepening roots. From that tree grows branches of new knowledge. And, now, grow the branches of Pax Neo-Tech, such as Pax Law (see Coda #2), that yield their fruits of infinite riches/infinite justice. *** The human race today is under threat of (1) a global debt liquidation, (2) losing the world war against terrorism, and (3) possible physical extinction. …Will today’s Earthlings discover in time their conscious-mind nature to liberate themselves from today’s self-destruct, political/religious anticivilization? Will they discover their conscious nature as that of competitive value creators who benefit every conscious life, everywhere? Will they liberate themselves by unleashing the business/science/art dynamics needed to achieve ever-increasing prosperity, non-aging health, and never-ending beauty? Yet, would such ever-increasing prosperity and non-aging health bring a Malthusian overpopulation disaster? No. Overpopulation problems occur only in unfree, decaying societies in which human life drains life-giving resources. Earlier Neo-Tech literature pointedly explains how overpopulation is impossible in business/science/art civilizations. Why? Because in the resulting free-market capitalist society, value-creating individuals continually create by orders of magnitude more life-giving resources for society than they consume. With biological immortality, therefore, people become limitless values to the populace and all of society -- never liabilities. ...Free societies cannot have too-much, value-creating life. *** By not fulfilling their eternal nature, today’s mystically-inculcated Earthlings live for death. Deluded and fatalistic, some live to glean by any means maximum riches and gratifications for themselves before they die -- glean by any dishonest, irrational, or criminal means. Others strive with fatal Greek hubris to capture maximum fame, power, and glory before death -- regardless of harms to others, society, and the future. On the other extreme, too many brain-washed dupes avoid the pleasures and happiness available from life on Earth. Why? To “assure” their entrance into a non-existent afterlife paradise. Most people, however, simply live mundanely, trivially, and then die
pointlessly. …Much worse, for a life-hating few, killing themselves along with everyone else on Earth is their ultimate purpose...and, today, their achievable goal! Because of “inevitable” death, various malevolent “so-what” attitudes pervade an anticivilization -- as Bloomsbury/Fabian-socialist Lord Keynes once cynically sneered, “In the long run, we’re all dead anyway.” Thus, religion, politics, and indifference will end every human life on Earth. The task of Pax Neo-Tech is to demonstrate how flipping today’s political/religious, dead-end anticivilization into a business/science, open-ended universal civilization will yield cures for strife, crime, poverty, aging, and death. Can conscious humans (1) discover their immortal nature and then (2) accept the eternal responsibility for living creatively, romantically, happily -- living without limits? ...Those two questions are dramatically answered in Mark Hamilton’s epic trilogy, The First Immortals, scheduled for publication in 2004. *** Neo-Tech sees what anticivilization populations cannot see. From its unique perspective, Neo-Tech has directly created over two-million beneficiaries. The task now shifts to completing and distributing Neo-Tech’s third generation literature -- its Chariots-of-Fire literature followed by Illuminati-Societies ten years in the making -plus the simultaneous production of Neo-Tech bullets. …The production and distribution of those newly-forming societies and anonymous bullets will eventually free every competitive value creator and producer from today’s unjust, dishonest, and irrational anticivilization. August 31, 2002 Coda #2 Pax Law (2002-2004) Road to Everyone’s Peace and Prosperity First, a question: What are the parallels and remedies between (1) international macro-terrorists beheading innocent people and blowing up schoolchildren and (2) local micro-terrorists diminishing the lives of innocent people and ruining the lives of schoolchildren? Pax Law answers the above question by identifying that core causes are the same for all crimes and terrorisms against the innocent. Pax Law identifies core causes of crime with specific examples and verifiable facts. Pax Law then presents the Neo-Tech nullification of crime and terrorism that opens the road to everyone’s peace and prosperity. What is Pax Law? Pax Law is based on universal law for protecting individual life-and-property rights. Pax Law means honestlycodified and justly-enforced law. The twin premises of Pax Law are (1) unenforced just laws cause contempt for law and a continual decline in individual security and social prosperity; (2) enforced just laws cause respect for law and a continual rise in individual security and social prosperity. Pax Law verifies its two premises through the real-life events of (1) micro-terrorists ravaging a small street, a small town, a small country and (2) macro-terrorists ravaging human life worldwide. ...Pax Law provides the
protocol for quelling and nullifying criminals and terrorists -- locally and globally. Part One MICRO-TERRORISM LOCALLY The 1977-1987 Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Tip O’Neill, identified all politics as local: Prosperity expands or shrinks when politicians succeed or fail their prime responsibility to protect the life and property of their constituents on the individual/local level. Law Enforcement/The Nullification Tool Law enforcement? The nullification tool? Sounds oppressive. Sounds anti-freedom. Yet, the opposite is the fact: Honest enforcements of just statutory laws, common laws, constitutional law, and natural law on local levels nullify crime in the cradle to deliver peace, freedom, and prosperity. ...Consider two points: 1. Effective law enforcement occurs when the populace demands that public officials focus on their single, mandatory responsibility. That responsibility is to assure the life-and-property rights for each-and-every individual. When that single government responsibility becomes the primary focus of public officials, genuine prosperity rises as free-and-secure constituents are increasingly able to create and produce competitive values for themselves, others, and society. 2. Effective law enforcements start small -- on the local level at which everyone experiences, everyone understands, everyone relates. Legitimate law enforcements focus on those who illegally harm the lives and property of individual citizens. Consider the wisdom of Václav Havel, the Czech leader of the stunningly-successful Velvet Revolution that peacefully overthrew the criminal Communist regime in his country. He identified, “Evil must be confronted in the womb.” …As light-handed but consistent law enforcements on small, individualistic scales eliminate those womb-like units of crime, the need for heavy-handed (often-bogus) law enforcements on larger, collectivist scales -- including wars -- fade. *** Politicians/Lawmakers/Public Officials Put aside Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It is a distraction from filling your mandatory responsibility -- the protection of your constituents’ life-and-property rights. Focus instead on Thus Spoke Reality. For, you need raw honesty and hard facts to secure a safe-and-prosperous future for your constituents: Thus Spoke Reality “Almost daily, for thirty years, my favorite writing-and-editing hideout has been a peaceful perch overlooking my town’s small cemetery. In the past decade, I have witnessed a wrenching increase in the burying of young people killed because arrogantly-ensconced public officials supported by a politically-and-journalistically corrupt local newspaper negligently failed to enforce just laws that protect the individual rights and safety of their constituents. “Yes, at first, fervent mourners gather by day and by night. Then fewer and fewer gather. Eventually no mourners gather. Another young life is gone forever and forgotten. Most unjustly, no one is held accountable for such unnecessary, preventable killings of' youth in this small-town America.
“Because of my carefully-noted observations over those three decades, perhaps I am the only person fully aware of those tragic facts. Perhaps only I can ask why and seek causal connections among those deaths. Perhaps only I notice the shallow, blameless reports spun in the politician-protecting local newspaper -- glossed-over reports that quickly disappear with little or no further reporting. Thereby, each tragedy is forgotten by the time the next deadly tragedy strikes. Thus, all seems okay among the populace and their public officials when nothing at all is okay. “Who will connect those cemetery burials to crime concealments used to politically preserve false images -images squandered years ago of a lovely, clean, safe town with secure schools? Who will reveal the spinning ring of self-aggrandizing politicians, a scofflaw City Attorney, and a toady local newspaper? They all share responsibility for the preventable crimes, damages, and deaths inflicted upon defenseless citizens, especially the elderly and children. …Who or what can break that lethal ring of political concealment and government dereliction?” *** Now comes the real-life example of nightmarish events unfolding in that small American town blighted with microterrorists. Those events spiral from a lethal ring of self-serving politicians, their crony-appointed officials, and their obsequiously-compliant local newspaper: Information Bulletin #1 [first published May 6, 2003 -- edited and formatted for book publication] MICRO-TERRORISM IDENTIFIED (www.micro-terrorism.com) Micro-Terrorists Blight a Small Town Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman dramatizes how lethal endings start with a single unchecked blight. No matter how small, that blight inexorably moves the entire entity toward its destruction -- be it a Willy Loman or a cancer victim -- be it a street, a town, a city, a country, or the world. AN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT Johannes Brahms' Requiem -- Blessed are those who Mourn -- is playing in my head. I am mourning Boulder City, Nevada…and so should its every citizen. For three decades, I lived happily in that peaceful suburban community near Las Vegas. It seemingly was a lovely town with clean-and-sober streets. In the early 1970s, it was rated among the ten safest places to live in America. Now, I must consider leaving the place I love because it is no longer lovely, peaceful, clean…or safe. …Why? What happened? One morning in early 2002, a clan of bug-eyed/gaunt-faced hooligans -- micro-terrorists -- occupied and then overran our street -- a street I once called Lovely Lane. Violating an array of city laws and ordinances, they began infesting their front yard and driveway with chop-shop-appearing auto parts along with vehicle-repair equipment that spilled all around the street. “Auction-bought” junk vehicles, some unregistered, some with bogus plates, some unmoved for weeks, began accumulating up and down the street, usurping their neighbors’ parking spaces, sometimes wrong-side parking, double parking, dangerously crowding traffic, overhanging driveways, blocking street visibility. Trucks even parked to completely block neighbors’ driveways, preventing access to their own homes.
The micro-terrorism on Lovely Lane started that way and then escalated: A truculent, Aryan-like clan from the North occupied Lovely Lane and turned it into an ugly, hostile, illegal street enterprise -- a dangerous, noisy, street-repair/used-car lot -- punctuated with something worse, possibly something much worse. When I politely asked the clan leader to stop violating his neighbors’ rights with hazardous vehicles and lifethreatening activities, another clan member screamed that I did not own the street. Quietly responding, I reminded them both that they did not own the street either. I explained that the issue was their violating city laws and ordinances designed to protect the life-and-property rights of them and their neighbors. ...They responded by “giving me the finger” and then trashing our street by expanding their property-damaging violations and lifethreatening illegalities. The government response: A courteous peace-making officer asked me to meet with the leader of that clan in front of my house. Astonishingly, with the police officer standing between us, that cadaverous-looking clan leader with violent hyper-bulging eyeballs lunged menacingly at me twice. With a redneck demeanor, he then sneered sexist/racist calumnies at an innocent hispanic woman and then a virtuous black man. …Thus, our meeting abruptly ended. Later, another police officer revealed that those same terrorists had trashed with impunity another street in our town. Still another officer acknowledged that those interlopers were experts at pushing their harmful activities beyond legal boundaries without legal consequences. They are micro-terrorists. They are experts at property-damaging and life-threatening intimidations to prevent victim complaints and avoid law-enforcement actions. Go several doors down and ask a frail, 80-year-old lady why she is too afraid to complain. Go down three streets to where those micro-terrorists also ply their illicit trade and ask a diminutive, 65-year-old man known as “Big John” to show you the scar across his scalp that a microterrorist creased with a bullet. Covered with blood, the wounded man went to the police. According to the victim, law-enforcement actions never occurred and newspaper accounts never appeared. ...Such are the concealments of life-threatening crimes in Boulder City. Despite that clan’s increasingly flouting laws and ordinances, the local politicians remained ensconced in their three accustomed modes -- (1) avoid negative publicity, (2) ignore or hide politically-bothersome “small-time” crimes, and (3) promote their patently-false image of their jurisdiction being safe and secure. *** Such terrorists live with contempt for the lives of all within their domain. They respect the rights of no one. They respond only to enforced laws. When local governments up to the United Nations fail to enforce laws that protect individual life-and-property rights, emboldened terrorists expand their damages until they trash a small street, a suburban community, an urban center, a small country, mighty America, or the entire world. The Ravaging of Lovely Lane Nearly every morning, as early as 6:15, the micro-terrorists quartered on Lovely Lane awaken residents by gunning truck-and-car engines with faulty mufflers. Then with squealing tires, they race their fleet of souped-up, mule-type trucks and cars toward destinations unknown only to return every night, often with additional junkcondition vehicles for souping up. Midst belching engine noises, screaming voices, even loud fights, they continue their trash-strewing destructions and open dealings, sometimes until midnight or later. Other times, at night, they mix unknown, vapor-rising brew in trucks under “klieg” lights. Night and day, they disturb the peace while intimidating and endangering their neighbors. Especially on weekend nights from lines of vehicles, vacant-eyed youth run in and out of that house. On schooldays, during lunchtime and
after school, hyper students, some wearing long black Columbine coats, shuffle freely into that house and then a minute later they exit. Street activities eerily resemble those around crack houses in urban ghettos -- or, today, perhaps small-town meth labs. ...What kind of nightmarish consequences await Boulder City, Nevada? Fearing for our physical safety, my wife and I installed a $1200 video surveillance system around our house. During that installation, one of the terrorists menacingly picked up a steel rod and loudly threatened to smash our video cameras. Then, when my wife and I were returning home later that night, several emaciated critters exited their squalid den. One ominously yelled, “What time ya gonna sleep tonight?” …Sensing violence, we fled Boulder City and spent that night in Las Vegas. To Review Day and night, gaunt Aryan terrorists assault Lovely Lane with roaring vehicles illegally driven at dangerous speeds -- recklessly skidding around corners, then burning rubber. Thus, with no law enforcement present, they endanger pedestrians, bicyclists, and schoolchildren traversing that ghettoized gauntlet of illicit activities. …Who will be responsible when a skateboarding child is run over by a rooster-eyed terrorist screeching around the corner and racing down that obstacle-strewn/terrorist-occupied lane? Lovely Lane has transmogrified into a dangerous, disfigured, decaying alley symbolizing the conversion of Boulder-City’s sweetest street into Erskine-Caldwell’s dirt-defiled Tobacco Road. Those terrorists’ tentacles now reach into the next street and beyond. Incentives to maintain and improve properties dim. Intimidated residents suffer in silence. Defenseless elderly wilt. Worried parents fear for their children. Time to leave Boulder City for a safer, happier life? For-Sale signs are going up. …Gresham’s Law applies: The “bad” drives out the “good”, leaving a blighted neighborhood, a benighted community, a diminished nation. Terrorists at all levels fail to understand Coleridge’s Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. Upon harming or destroying the innocent, terrorists lose their souls and become the ‘ultimate’ losers as they nullify their existence in the realm of human life. …In his book, The Lessons of Terror, Caleb Carr shows how every terrorist is a loser -- a loser who ultimately fails miserably. Today, however, before international terrorists ultimately fail, they can unleash weapons of mass murder to irreversibly damage or destroy life in America or anywhere in the world. Analogously, before the micro-terrorists of Lovely Lane ultimately fail, they can irreversibly damage or destroy the lives of innocent residents, kill or maim its youth, and ruin a community thusly blighted. The Meaning of Lovely Lane On September 11, 2001, America woke up. Suddenly, its citizens realized the raison d’être for government. On that day, America’s highest-elected official, President George W. Bush, focused on his prime responsibility. That responsibility was to invert the goal of terrorists by eliminating them before they eliminate us -- his constituents. …That same focus must also occur on local levels to prosper into the future. First, realize that micro-terrorists in all their destructive permutations and varieties are multiplied countless times across communities and cities throughout America and around the world. Thus, cumulatively, they become the prime undermining force against life and property -- more so than the Osama bin-Ladens of this world. Now, realize once again: The single, most-important responsibility of government and its public officials is to protect the life-and-property rights of each individual citizen. Praise-garnering, politically-enhancing collectivist endeavors -- from building new public golf courses and city fishing ponds to street-and-building beautifications --
are done with taxpayers’ money. Still, if local governments fail in their prime responsibility -- fail in the unglamorous, politically-bothersome tasks of protecting the life and property of each individual citizen -- their jurisdictions will stagnate and then decline regardless of their self-glorifying projects. Why did Boulder-City elected officials not only fail their prime responsibility, but actually embolden microterrorists to increasingly threaten and harm the innocent? That question is answered with one word -- focus. For the past 140 years -- since Lincoln -- governments across America have steadily shifted away from the Jeffersonian above-all focus on protecting individual life-andproperty rights by part-time lawmakers in the name of public service. Since Lincoln, that focus has shifted toward collectivist-force projects by full-time professional politicians seeking tax-paid power and public adulation in the name of themselves. Each elected Boulder-City official was fully informed both in writing and by email of the escalating life endangerments and property damages being inflicted upon his or her constituents. Each elected official chose to default on his or her public-protection responsibilities. Each defaulted by choosing to focus instead on his or her falsely-crafted political images and Pollyanna self-praises. …Those seemingly-good people defaulted on protecting the lives and properties of their constituents suffering increasing harms, assaults, and damages -- evils -inflicted by micro-terrorists. To quote Edmund Burke, “For evil to triumph, good men have to do nothing.” Thus, no matter how worthy seemed their tax-funded projects, those officials made themselves unworthy to hold public office. Voters must now replace them to reverse a deteriorating old-town, a dilapidating downtown, and an insidious decay now creeping throughout neighborhoods. Three decades ago, Boulder City had a unique opportunity to break free from a government-construction town whose citizens heroically built Hoover Dam from 1931 to 1935, ahead of schedule and under budget. Instead, the town failed. Self-perpetuating government jobs and progress-blocking political elites stagnated Boulder City. Entrenched public officials dissipated a decades-long opportunity to transform Boulder City into one of the premier communities in Western United States -- a vibrant community with the prosperity of a Palm Springs and the cachet of an Aspen. …Thus, the wealth of Las Vegas stopped seeking Boulder City. That prosperity, prestige, and culture now flows into safer, better-managed, better-protected suburban communities surrounding Las Vegas. What Comes Next? What liabilities do elected officials accrue after being fully informed and then doing nothing about micro-terrorists illegally damaging the lives and properties of their constituents? For years now, local officials have striven to maintain a Potemkin image of Boulder City still being the clean, green, safe town of three decades ago. In conjunction with their obsequious local newspaper and scofflaw City Attorney, those officials have long suppressed negative publicity by avoiding or minimizing the reporting of criminal activities. When enforcement actions were required, officials often looked the other way or issued only warnings - sometimes over-and-over again -- at the victims’ expense. Thus, public officials avoided reports and actions yielding crime records and negative publicity. One police officer complained that a man with over twenty DUIs still drives the streets of our town. Last month, a man with seven DUIs crashed his SUV in Boulder City, killing two innocent people. …How many more tombstones will rise in Boulder City from neglected public-protection responsibilities? Public officials kept pursuing expensive honor-and-glory projects while (1) hiding escalating crime, (2) emasculating their underfunded, overworked police force, and (3) retaining cozy relationships with a disreputable-slacker City Attorney and his inept justice system. Will the future reveal how that community slid
into ever-widening ghettoization -- perhaps with its children drawn into Mesquite/methamphetamine-like spirals of lethal tragedies? Or, will the future reveal how Boulder-City residents reversed course by electing officials who put their first priority on protecting the life-and-property rights of each-and-every resident to fulfill BoulderCity's potential of becoming Nevada’s most-desirable community? [End of Information Bulletin #1] Information Bulletin #2 [first published May 29, 2003 -- edited and formatted for book publication] MICRO-TERRORISM UNANSWERED Anarchy-Promoting Incumbents Anarchy promoting? During their May 8, 2003 press conference in Boulder City, Nevada, did not the incumbents hear Hector Berlioz’s March to the Scaffold playing in their heads about to be lopped off? What were they thinking during their flurry of denial that left the blight of micro-terrorism -- anarchy -- unanswered, unchecked, and festering in their jurisdiction? On May 6, 2003, their constituents received Information Bulletin #1. It detailed the rising blight of microterrorism in Boulder City -- a blight that increasingly degrades the lives not only of Lovely-Lane residents, but also of every Boulder-City resident. One source characterized that Information Bulletin with the cliché, “building a mountain out of a molehill”. Molehill? Is that what the well-protected political elites call it? A molehill -- is that what they call endangering the lives of unprotected schoolchildren and the futures of their youth? A molehill -- is that what they call micro-terrorist attacks on lives and homes of their constituents. A molehill -- is that what they call micro-terrorists ruining the lives of vulnerable youth and defenseless elderly? That right to life-and-property protection for each-and-every individual is the mountain -- the mountain of civilization -- the mountain of liberty, prosperity, and happiness for everyone. Guaranteeing that right is the firstand-foremost responsibility of any legitimate government. Upholding that right is what brings peace and prosperity to society. …The molehills are the grandiose, self-promoting, tax-spending ventures of politicians who ignore their primary responsibility. Thus, that continuing blight of Lovely Lane -- that hatched seed of anarchy -now creeps throughout the community, undermining the life and well-being of every citizen, young and old. Each Incumbent Failed Consider more deeply the current incumbents’ focus on pursuing self-serving, budget-breaking agendas while ignoring the increasing harms inflicted daily on their constituents by micro-terrorists. In busily promoting their “higher” political agendas, they arrogantly brush off crimes, even killings, inflicted on “powerless peons” -their taxpaying constituents -- as molehills to be ignored. Well, no such higher agendas exist. Go ask President Bush, New York’s ex-mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Chicago’s mayor Richard J. Daley, perhaps even Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman. Ask them if grand or higher agendas trump protecting the life-and-property rights of their taxpaying constituents. …Despite all their other problems and faults, each of those elected officials discovered their mountainous responsibility to genuine public service -- protection of each individual constituent from criminal harms and micro-terrorist destructions.
On May 8, 2003, the Boulder-City incumbents called a press conference ostensibly to address that May-6th Information Bulletin, which identified the growing blight of micro-terrorism threatening their community. The incumbents’ own words and actions provided the most-compelling reasons for replacing them -- each of them. For, amazingly, not a single incumbent -- not one -- addressed a single point about the expanding micro-terrorist harms increasingly inflicted on their constituents. Instead, directed by their ethically-challenged City Attorney, they ignobly shot the messenger and made the innocent victims appear guilty. They launched ad-hominem attacks while blatantly lying and dishonestly blaming others to further endanger their constituents. …Those public officials could never make it into Plutarch’s Lives as virtuous people. Consider the following: The May-9th Las Vegas Review-Journal (RJ) Article The Review-Journal reporting of that press conference was honest and professional. Its article provided relevant facts while omitting the dishonest non sequiturs designed solely to discredit the author of that May-6th Information Bulletin and the victims of Lovely Lane. Moreover, in practicing fair journalism, the reporter tried to contact that author (who was out of town) for comments about the press conference. …Here are those public officials' startling statements as reported by the RJ, followed by the facts surrounding each statement: 1. Obviously he wants to cause havoc,” said Boulder City Manager John Sullard. *Obviously he wants to cause havoc? Please, everyone, sit down and read that May-6th Information Bulletin again. Where in the world is there any indication of wanting to cause havoc? Its entire point is to eliminate the havoc now being dangerously inflicted upon the constituents of those elected officials. Perhaps the incumbent-appointed City Manager considers the holding elected officials responsible for public safety as causing havoc. Indeed, it is that the City Manager and his press-conference cohorts who, by failing their responsibilities, have caused havoc for the residents of Lovely Lane -- and ultimately havoc for every resident of Boulder City. Moreover, those incumbents chose to vilify the victims while letting the micro-terrorists rove free. …Thus, today, micro-terrorists contemptuously and repeatedly violate those unenforced laws and ordinances designed to protect the lives and properties of Boulder-City residents. 2. City Attorney Dave Olsen said the essay stems from a code enforcement problem…that was solved a year ago. *With his stunningly bogus claim that the problem was solved a year ago, the incumbent-appointed City Attorney underscored his own ineptness. Since that Hans-Blix attempt a year ago to enforce a list of violations, those micro-terrorists have scornfully mocked the continuous non-enforcement of Boulder-City laws and ordinances. Increasingly, they spread their havoc as evidenced in that May-6th Information Bulletin and verified by numerous police reports, photographs, video tapes…plus personally witnessed and experienced by every resident of Lovely Lane. 3. Olsen said he believes the matter will be forwarded to the Secretary of State’s Office to determine whether campaign practices were violated. And later the RJ article states -- Bill Smith, in a tight race for mayor against incumbent Robert Ferraro, took offense to Olsen’s comments that the flier is politically motivated and someone else is involved. He believes city officials were insinuating Smith is somehow tied to the flier. *. …forwarded to the Secretary of State’s Office? Yes, indeed, this matter should be forwarded to the Secretary of State’s Office to determine whether campaign practices were violated. The incumbent candidates disgracefully used that May-6th Information Bulletin just before the election to conspiratorially impugn and perhaps illegally accuse their innocent opponents of possible crimes. City-Attorney Olsen then dishonestly implied that the incumbent challengers might have illegally financed and mailed that May-6th Information Bulletin. Moreover, in ignoring America’s First-Amendment right to free press, Olsen improperly spent tax money in having Boulder-City police travel to Las Vegas, enter, and harass those at the author’s printing facilities. The printer rightfully
dismissed them for lacking a warrant. Olsen also improperly used the police to glean post-office information about the author. Every incumbent fully knew of this micro-terrorism problem months before the challengers announced their candidacies. Every incumbent also received, both by email and US mail, a pre-publication copy of that May-6th Bulletin at least two weeks before its mailing. Each received a cordial invitation to respond. Yet, none responded. None signaled interest in simply and justly applying the already existing laws and ordinances to block the microterrorists from increasingly damaging the lives and properties of his or her constituents. Thus, no one provided a reason to abort that mailing. …That act of collective dishonesty by the incumbents in knowingly-and-unjustly besmirching their innocent political challengers is reason enough for each incumbent to resign or be voted out of office. The May-15th Boulder City News Article Unlike Adrienne Packer’s Review-Journal’s objective news article about that press conference, Ray Brewer’s provincial Boulder City News page-one account was not a news article -- it was a conduit for advancing his political cohorts’ ignoble agenda. Twisting political agendas into so-called objective news stories and foisting dishonest assertions upon the public are journalistic-and-intellectual sins that vanish Mr. Brewer’s credibility and his newspaper’s worthiness, while doing a tremendous disservice to the residents of Boulder City. Mr. Brewer perhaps can learn from his dishonorable article to become a better reporter -- an honest news reporter rather than a servant to political hacks. …He can start by learning from his page-one headline of his socalled news article: City officials respond to misinformation in mass mailer *…. misinformation? Where exactly? Where exactly in that carefully-documented Bulletin does misinformation exist? Did the reporter even read that Bulletin or is he just promoting the politicians’ false assertions as facts. He provides not a single example of misinformation. Yet, by positing that one word in his page-one “news” headline, Mr. Brewer proclaims with zero evidence that the Bulletin is false. Thus, he intends readers to dismiss its crucial message as bogus. He, thereby, fulfills the dishonest agenda of incumbents trying to conceal their dereliction of duty to public safety by burying the facts with harmful, perhaps even lethal, results. Unlike the Review-Journal, the reporter for Boulder City News made no attempt to “get the other side” by contacting the author of that Information Bulletin. Moreover, unlike the reporter for the Review-Journal, Mr. Brewer betrayed his readers by obsequiously promoting those incumbents’ unwholesome agenda to hold political power power by any unsavory means. Conclusion This is no longer the Wild West. Citizens can accept neither unchecked lawlessness nor pistol-packing vigilantism. Only government officials are legally empowered to enforce laws and ordinances designed to protect the populace. Only they have the legal tools and responsibility to assure public safety. Thus, by failing their lawenforcement responsibilities, they harm both the lives of their constituents and the future of their jurisdictions. The purpose of this current Information Bulletin #2 is to ask those incumbents who failed that prime responsibility to resign -- or to be voted out of office. …To move toward a safe-and-prosperous 21st century, Boulder-City residents must vote only for those candidates who explicitly pledge above all else to fulfill their protective responsibility to each individual constituent. Only then can Boulder City move toward its magnificant potential of becoming one of America’s loveliest communities. [End of Information Bulletin #2]
Election Results Before mailing Information Bulletin #1, the single incumbent councilman facing reelection on June 3, 2003, was favored to win. Yet, because of mailing to the voters Micro-Terrorism Information Bulletins #1 and #2, he lost decisively, ending in third place. The incumbent mayor was also initially favored to win handily. But, to keep his political power by any means, just days before the election, he (1) with the approval of his tap-dancing City Attorney, mailed to every Boulder-City household a possibly-illegal, tax-paid "newsletter" comprising false information and bogus financial figures, (2) blamed his re-election problems on the City Manager and publicly tried to fire him without due process, then (3) spent heavily on a slick, misleading flier delivered to every voter’s front door the day before the election. Of 5000 votes cast, the mayor won by 18 votes against his long-shot challenger. The mayor was then promptly subjected to a recall election that his challenger was favored to win. Half-full or half-empty results? Neither. The results meant a failed mayor remains in political power along with his crime-camouflaging City Attorney, Dave Olsen. Thus, voters permitted further decline toward (1) ghettoizing Boulder City, (2) financial crises, (3) possible lawsuits, and (4) increasing criminally-wrought tragedies. ...The consequences? Nightmarish Consequences Unfurl In the month following the above cited warnings and predictions, that small desert town witnessed four micro-terrorists assaulting, injuring, and then robbing an 81-year-old Boulder-City woman of $1.50 at the local grocery store. Shortly after, another Boulder-City woman was chopped to pieces and her body parts dumped into the politicians’ new, tax-built fishing pond. A few weeks later, a young Boulder-City woman was murdered. Her decaying body was found near the town’s gravel pit. Later, a man’s body was found decaying on Boulder-City’s dry lake. Three weeks later, a Boulder-City high-school football star died of a drug overdose just around the corner from the street-dealing Lovely Lane. Then, alarmingly, even before the toxicology report was issued, CityAttorney Olsen’s crony, Boulder-City’s Police Chief, hastily proclaimed no charges would be filed. Shortly after, a Lovely-Lane terrorist was arrested and convicted on drug paraphernalia charges. Sometime after that, a 25year-old Boulder-City father of four was stabbed to death in front of his pregnant wife in the same Lovely-Lane neighborhood that the young Boulder-City athlete died of a drug overdose. And, what about the Boulder-City woman recently raped a gunpoint near Lovely Lane? All cases such as above are under-investigated or non-investigated as well as under-reported or nonreported. …Local micro-terrorism a molehill? How many more tombstones will quietly rise in Boulder City for victims quickly forgotten? *** Two weeks after that high-school student’s drug-overdose death, City-Attorney David Olsen drank at a Blue Oyster Cult concert in Las Vegas and continued drinking at a local honky-tonk tavern. He was then arrested at 1:30am in Boulder City for drunken-driving someone else's motorcycle, weaving from lane to lane, then recklessly skidding around a corner in a hail of sparks! He was also arrested for driving without a motorcycle license and for failing to maintain a travel lane. …Dude! Talk about contempt for laws that protect the lives and property of Boulder-City citizens. Scofflaw City-Attorney Olsen endangers the lives of Boulder-City residents just as scofflaw microterrorists endanger the lives of Boulder-City residents.
Tombstones of micro-terrorist victims keep rising in Boulder-City’s cemetery. Street crimes remain unprosecuted under Mr. Olsen’s scofflaw “justice” system. Will Boulder-City’s elected officials meet their prime responsibility? Will they replace their drunken-driving City Attorney who flouts the law with a law-abiding City Attorney who respects the law? Will they hire a hard-working City Attorney who will justly, consistently, and conscientiously enforce laws that protect the public from those who illegally damage and destroy innocent lives? …Or, have the local politicians and their lapdog newspaper already spun the story for crony Olsen to save his job of concealing crimes in Boulder City? *** A Notice to the Elected Officials of Boulder City, Nevada September 2, 2003 This notice is addressed to the elected officials of Boulder City, Nevada: Mayor Bob Ferraro and the four CityCouncil Members: Andrea Anderson, Karla Burton, Mike Pacini, Roger Tobler. This letter also applies to their appointed officials: City-Attorney David Olsen and City-Manager John Sullard. *** On August 6, 2003, each elected official named above received an updated Micro-Terrorism Information Bulletin that diagnosed the malignancies of micro-terrorism metastasizing throughout Boulder City. At the same time, each elected official again received a cordial invitation to witness and understand firsthand the destructive effects of their unenforced laws and ordinances being broken daily by micro-terrorists. Each elected official had a unique chance to ally with impacted constituents in stopping the illegal dangers and damages inflicted daily on Boulder-City residents. Additionally, each elected official had an opportunity to gain new perspectives for avoiding a bleak future for Boulder City. Only Mayor Ferraro had the gumption to accept that invitation. Not a single City Council Member chose to see and understand firsthand the spreading damages for which each is responsible. Thus, once again, each underscored his or her failure to meet the prime responsibility of every public official to protect the life-and-property rights for each-and-every constituent. …Once again, Boulder City’s elected officials demonstrated their unworthiness to hold public office. On August 7, 2003, Mayor Ferraro was welcomed into the home of his constituents on Lovely Lane. From the moment of his arrival to the time of his departure, in front of his own eyes, he could witness at least three immediately-actionable street offenses simultaneously occurring within a radius of fifty feet from his parked car. The mayor could also clearly see numerous trash-strewn law-and-ordinance violations in the micro-terrorists’ front yard coupled with unhealthy-smelling stacks towering six feet or more of insect-infested/fire-hazard trash in their back yard and filling their entire garage. He could observe all around him a Tobacco-Road street bespattered with dirt, feces, and strange trash. Even more serious, he could see a death-trap street branded with burnt-rubber insignias from recklessly-driven vehicles, sliding-skid marks from illegally-speeding vehicles, and bizarre waste paraphernalia along the curb. After a congenial one-hour visit, Mayor Ferraro earnestly promised to call back in three days about a plan to enforce laws and ordinances to protect the residents of Lovely Lane. He never called back. Three weeks later, not a word or act of remedy came from Mayor Ferraro. Not a single word or act of remedy from him or any public official as constituent-harming violations of unenforced laws and ordinances continue unabated along Lovely Lane -- along chemical lane. But, much worse, the elected officials of Boulder City have not only failed to enforce laws on Lovely Lane, but now their police department does not return phone calls, take reports, record complaints, or originate actions
concerning illegal acts of micro-terrorism on Lovely Lane. That street now lies helpless with no apparent police protection. …Micro-terrorists reign free. What is happening here? Why do elected officials and their police department no longer respond to or record complaints? Why do they not simply enforce the public-safety laws and city ordinances already on the books? …That is all that the victims of Lovely Lane have ever asked of their elected officials. Are Boulder-City elected officials and their police department acting on advice from a scofflaw City Attorney? Are they acting on advice from a law-breaking lawyer already sullied by dishonesties, ineptness, and illegal behaviors? Are they acting on advice that increasingly threatens the lives of their constituents and innocent children? Have ill-advised elected officials signaled the police to ignore law-and-ordinance violations on Lovely Lane? For, any such law enforcements or additional complaint reports would (1) verify earlier MicroTerrorism Information Bulletins that succeeded in ousting two Boulder-City officials for failing their public-safety responsibilities, (2) yield negative political fallout for the remaining elected officials in their next elections by highlighting their irresponsible defaults, and (3) stir possible lawsuits rising from damages, injuries, even deaths resulting from their negligent behaviors. [End of Notice] Is that crime-concealing dynamic why the local newspaper failed its reporting obligations about BoulderCity’s latest murder? Why did they remain so strangely silent about the gruesome beating-and-shooting death of a teenage youth at Boulder-City’s Dry Lake? Was that murder caused by a drug deal gone sour? That boy’s battered body was found stuffed in a hefty bag with his hands cut off. And, today, right now, a teenage girl lies comatose in intensive care, perhaps brain dead from drugs. (Soon after she died.) The police and newspaper reported no details or follow-up articles about those youths -- killed youths who would merit major headlines and heavy followup reporting in any comparable small-size community in America. So what! says the phantom soul of a Boulder-City elected official. We want the public to pay no attention to those unpleasant things. They only upset my constituents. Instead, they want me to do important things that they can praise me for -- like spending taxpayers’ money to build a magnificent amphitheater in the desert. So what if it is seldom or never used. Such glory-reaping projects are much-more pleasant and enjoyable than dealing with nasty crimes -- messy crimes that are best not reported, crimes we want hidden and forgotten. After all, we must “save the appearances” of a clean, green, safe Boulder City. ...Just ask our legal advisor -- our drunken-driving City Attorney. But, don't talk to our police. They’ll just give you dark, disturbing facts. Thus thinks a smugly-ensconced Boulder-City Councilwoman when micro-terrorists invaded and destroyed -- trashed -- a home on Lovely Lane. So what, she and the other elected officials exhaled wearily. Their great souls could not be bothered with such trivia. The local newspaper reporting of that victim-devastating crime? Zero, none -- complete silence. Finally, as a thuggishly-cruel hypocrite, that same drunken-driving/life-endangering City Attorney now puts on a swaggering tough-on-drugs charade (what irony!) by moving to confiscate the home of a hapless, handicapped older lady -- confiscate that lady’s entire house, her only survival asset. Why? Because she pled guilty to a misdemeanor of owning six marijuana plants for her own pain-alleviating use. ...Meanwhile, gaunt-faced terrorists run loose as Boulder-City youth die of drug abuse, unhindered by that alcohol-abusing City Attorney.
Yes, the beat goes on: Criminal destructions and terrorisms inflicted upon the innocent, especially upon the youth and elderly, continue hidden and unabated. Do Boulder-City elected officials and their crony City Attorney hope that those “molehills” of crimes and terrorisms will somehow just go away by themselves? Well, such malignancies never just go away. No, they fester and spread until they are exorcised…or until they destroy their host. *** Follow-up Report #1 from Lovely Lane November 4, 2003 [edited for book publication] Upon receiving the above September-2nd letter, Mayor Ferraro phoned the Lovely-Lane victims several times to report that he plans to initiate court actions against the micro-terrorists. Also, newly-elected Councilman Roger Tobler, a businessman, phoned wanting to discuss the problem. …The others continued to hide. Mayor Ferraro then returned to the victims’ home with his enforcement officer to review a list of actions. Still, no apparent law enforcement actions occurred. As always before, only shows of spurious law enforcement occurred for public consumption. That was the micro-terrorists’ green light: They mocked and violated the unenforced laws and ordinances with contemptuous impunity. With an unresponsive police department and a silent newspaper, nose-thumbing street dealings began with strange police handshakes and garbage-bag drops. …Suddenly, the dangerous street disturbances escalated dramatically and began occurring night and day. Now, genuinely alarmed, Mayor Ferraro phoned the victims again. This time to report that he is enforcing the law by taking the micro-terrorists to court in early November 2003. …Just as suddenly, Lovely Lane began quieting down and cleaning up. Life-threatening dangers subsided. Dangerous-and-illegal street activities were no longer chronic for the first time in nearly two years. Yes, a politician can choose to break from that deadly ring of self-glorification to become a genuine public protector: Of all ironies, could Mr. Ferraro become the only elected official in Boulder City worthy of public office? ...Anyone can learn and change for the better, even become heroic. Or, is this a ploy to win a possible recall election brought on by the deterioration of Boulder City? Once re-elected, will Mayor Ferraro rejoin the ranks of local self-serving political hacks? Will our community increasingly become the “dumping grounds for murder victims” as the Las Vegas Sun tagged Boulder City in its November 3, 2003 front-page article? Or, will Mayor Ferraro rise above his cohorts to restore public safety?
Follow-up Report #2 from Lovely Lane December 3, 2003 [edited for book publication] Fixing Negative Developments Returning home at 12:30am on November 28, 2003, two victims of Lovely Lane encountered and photographed an inordinate amount of the micro-terrorists’ strangely-bagged, foul-smelling trash stacked in front of the victims’ house. With photograph proof in hand, the victims returned that unhealthy trash and waste materials to their rightful owners -- the micro-terrorists. The next morning, two thuggish-appearing cohorts, never before seen in the neighborhood, stood in the microterrorists’ driveway for two hours, staring menacingly at the victims’ house. Why? For what reason? ...After they saw the husband leave his house, one of those rough-looking cohorts cowardly marched to the front door. He pounded loudly and repeatedly on the victims’ house, terrifying the wife who, of course, never opened the door. Instead, she promptly phoned her husband. Unable to rely on the police, the husband immediately phoned and then picked up his gentle-giant friend, Kirk -- an ex-NFL football player, an ex-professional prizefighter, a professional bodybuilder, and a railroadhandcar world champion -- a mountain man. He is a well-recognized, 30-year resident of Boulder City who previously has heroically protected vulnerable residents from interloping Aryan skinheads. Thus, with Kirk in his car, the husband drove home and displayed his imposing protector. The victims have now arranged for Kirk to protect their lives and property whenever called upon. …With private-protector Kirk, the illicit waste products disappeared along with those threatening thugs. Follow-up Report #3 from Lovely Lane February 20, 2004 [edited for book publication] On February 3, 2004, Mayor Ferraro and Police-Chief Turk visited the home of the Lovely-Lane victim recently injured as a result of micro-terrorists trespassing on her property. Both officials came to discuss the reemergence of illicit micro-terrorist activities on Lovely Lane. The Mayor was visibly shaken and seemed genuinely concerned, especially about the recently injured victim and the time-dated photos documenting her grislyappearing injuries. He expressed a panicky determination to act quickly and effectively. By contrast, Police-Chief Turk, while polite and sympathetic, seemed oblivious to the virulently-violent effects micro-terrorists have on Boulder City citizens. He reflected little understanding of the insidious long-range effects of not enforcing explicit laws and ordinances designed to protect the lives and properties of Boulder-City citizens.
Perhaps still under sway of scofflaw slacker City-Attorney Olsen, the Police Chief spoke only of issuing more warnings to the micro-terrorists as has been inanely done for the past two years with mounting losses of community well-being, including life itself. Even the police reports provided to the local newspaper concerning youths involved in serious illegal activities now seem agenda manipulated and are too often expressed as flippant jokes. In addition, since the publicly circulated micro-terrorism reports started identifying the causes and meanings of such crimes, the public-police/local-newspaper reports now omit the names, locations, and significant facts surrounding those crimes so they cannot be analyzed or correlated. Thus, responsibility cannot be fixed and the public remains uninformed. Many such law violations apparently vanish with no effective enforcement actions. Such are the scofflaw messages being signaled to incoming micro-terrorists and Boulder City’s youth by our corruptly-negligent City Attorney, an obsequiously-complicit local newspaper, and now our politically-manipulated police department. …Frightening! Fruits of Appeasement Such “redneck trash”, if that is what others call them, have neither souls nor brightness: When the uniformed Police Chief left the victim’s house, the street terrorists spotted him. As he drove away, they openly laughed while loudly gunning their no-muffler truck and motorcycle engines. Then, in mockingly defying Chief Turk and the law, bug-eyed youth returned for the first time in three months to gleefully race their roaring vehicles up and down the street, burning rubber, screeching brakes, and skidding around corners as children came home from school. …Thus reap the fruits of appeasing terrorists be it a feckless global-wide UN or a feckless small-town government: The very next day, schoolchildren once again began visiting the micro-terrorists’ apparently re-opened, frontdoor daytime operation -- starting with a skateboarding, grade-school kid puffing on a cigarette, making a quick come-and-go, front-door stop. ...How many more Boulder-City youths will end in rehab, hospitals, wheelchairs, jails, and cemeteries? Mayor Steps In -- Police Chief Acts -- Micro-Terrorism Stops (at least until the elections) Now, with the Mayor’s sudden deep concern about the micro-terrorists coupled with the microterrorists’ open displays of mocking contempt toward Chief Turk, the police finally struck. They shut down the micro-terrorist activities. Lovely Lane quickly morphed into an eerily quiet, seemingly safe condition -- at least for now -- at least until Ferraro’s recall election. Thus came the “pay-off” mailing piece sent to Boulder City voters on March 31, 2004 -- a week before Mayor Ferraro’s recall election: [edited for book publication] Do Not Recall Mayor Ferraro The much-needed housecleaning of Boulder-City’s government began when the favored incumbent, Councilman Bryan Nix, was soundly defeated in June 2003. Next, in early January 2004, City-Manager John Sullard was fired. Then, on January 6, 2004, legal papers were filed to recall Mayor Ferraro and Councilman Pacini.
Yes, to protect the future of Boulder City and its citizens, Councilman Mike Pacini should be recalled in the special election of April 6, 2004. Also, equally-negligent Councilwoman Andrea Anderson should be replaced in the next election. Both council members arrogantly ignore their prime responsibility to protect the lives and properties of their constituents while spending public money -- our money -- on selfaggrandizing projects. By far the most important housecleaning item is, however, Boulder-City’s fountainhead of government corrosion -- City-Attorney David Olsen. He must be promptly dismissed following his due-process March 30, 2004 trial for drunken driving another person’s motorcycle through the streets of Boulder City at 1:30am without a license, plus other reckless public-endangering offenses for which he was indicted. Perhaps, with our city’s highest legal authority serving as an awful exemplar for our neighboring community, a 16-year-old boy -- a model honor student -- drove drunk, crashed, and killed his three best friends. That boy faces many years in prison. Yet, drunken-driving Olsen retains the highest law-and-order job in our community! He must not escape appropriate action through “look-good” deals or “special” pleadings designed to keep his job. The travesty of not firing a convicted City-Attorney Olsen will fall heavily on an irresponsible City Council heralding a bleak future for Boulder City. Scapegoat to Hero? What about the primary recall target -- Mayor Ferraro? His recent law-and-ordinance enforcement efforts seemed to nullify the direct dangers and mounting threats from illicit dealings by interloping micro-terrorists in Boulder City. The infested inner-city areas seem quiet and safe -- at least for now, at least until the elections. In any case, Mr. Ferraro is the only elected official to recognize and pursue his prime public responsibility of protecting the lives and properties of his constituents. Thus, Mayor Ferraro is the single public official crucial to the future well-being and security of Boulder City residents -- especially its seniors who built our past and its children who must build our future. To paraphrase ironically an early 20th-century United States Senator Marcus Hanna: There are two important things for elected officials. The first is to protect the life-andproperty rights of every constituent. ...And, I can’t remember what the second is. *** Boulder-City residents can not afford to replace constituent-protecting Mayor
Ferraro, regardless of his past performance and effectiveness. After the April 6, 2004 elections, the following letter was sent to each Boulder-City elected official: [edited for book publication] April 16, 2004 Dear Elected Officials, Below are results from the recall election bulletin mailed to Boulder City voters on March 31, 2004: Short-Term Results A close race was predicted with Ferraro a slight underdog. But, Mayor Ferraro won by a 60% to 40% landslide. So, was the bulletin successful? Only partly. For, it failed with both the voters and the City Council on two counts: 1. Councilman Mike Pacini was also returned to office. By returning him to office, the voters chose to continue electing officials who ignore government’s mandatory responsibility to protect the life-and-property rights of their constituents. Instead, such politicians buy elections with taxpayers’ money spent on “look-good” self-aggrandizing agendas -- all done with smiling, nice-person images. ...And, Mr. Pacini is certainly a smiling nice person, perhaps still young enough to learn how to be a responsible elected official. 2. The corrosive core of Boulder City’s darkening future remains as law-breaking David Olsen retains his job as the city’s top law officer responsible for public safety and enforcing laws that protect people’s lives and properties. ...What a travesty! Thus, for the next Boulder-City election, the following notice will alert its voters: Vote Out of Office the Micro-Terrorist Enablers Vote only for candidates who pledge above all else to protect the life and property of each constituent -especially the defenseless elderly and vulnerable youth. Every elected official’s first priority and responsibility is to protect his or her constituents from personal harm and property destruction by those violating public-safety laws and ordinances. Recall in 1993 how newly-elected New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani discovered and then pursued that first priority and responsibility of elected officials. By harnessing his discovery that he called the “Broken-Window Effect”, Giuliani dramatically reversed the rapid financial, security, and social decay of his city caused by unchecked micro-terrorists in his city. He focused on stopping the smallest neighborhood damages, crimes, and ordinance violations. Thus, he stopped the accelerating micro-terrorist crime waves that were tearing apart the
social-and-economic fabric of New York City. Additionally, Giuliani’s re-ordering of priorities to fulfill his single moral responsibility to his constituents prepared him to handle magnificently the macro-terrorist attack of September 11, 2001. Today, except for Mayor Ferraro, that primary responsibility remains scorned and thus unfulfilled by Boulder-City elected officials. Instead, ensconced incumbents remain too absorbed in their grand agendas and praise-seeking projects to bother with the relentlessly-increasing neighborhood crimes and ordinance violations by microterrorists who are consuming the heart and soul of Boulder City. ...To protect yourselves, loved ones, and your homes, electors must remove such self-serving incumbents from office. On Election Day, voters can reverse Boulder City’s financial-and-security decline in moving our community toward its potential of becoming the jewel of Nevada. How? By rejecting those candidates and incumbents who fail to publicly pledge and explicitly keep their single obligatory moral responsibility to protect the lives and properties of their constituents. (reference: www.micro-terrorism.com) Long-Term Results The rule of law, not the rule of politicians, is the essence of future survival and prosperity of not only Boulder City but of America, and ultimately of World Civilization. Part Two MICRO/MACRO-TERRORISM COUNTRYWIDE Micro-Terrorists Blight a Small Country Why is a naturally-beautiful country once considered the peaceful-and-prosperous Switzerland of Central America -- Costa Rica -- now becoming a dangerous, ugly domain? What is rapidly diminishing the life and wellbeing of its citizens? Why are escalating corruption and lawlessness becoming accepted across every economicand-social level of that country? Remember when the world considered the once lovely small country of Lebanon the peaceful-andprosperous Switzerland of the Arab World? Remember when the world considered its capital Beirut as the Paris of the Middle East? Then, remember how quickly Lebanon was trashed into a dangerous hellhole by hordes of local micro-terrorists spawned by unenforced public-protection laws. …Before long, those escalating micro-terrorists were replaced by Syrian-backed Hezbollah macro-terrorists who in 1983 killed 241 U.S. marines in Beirut and then quickly squashed that country under tyrannical Syrian rule. Likewise, today, Costa Rica is succumbing to hordes of micro-terrorists. They comprise knife-wielding thieves, muggers, kidnappers, rapists, including child rapists. They also comprise white-collar embezzlers, murdering squatters, marauding gangs of tire-punching/life-threatening highway bandits, airport-luggage thieves, criminal takeovers of property complexes, mob-infested Internet gambling, and drug-money-laundering
rings. And, now, Ponzi-scheme con artists and “businessmen” openly operate under colorful names such as “The Brothers”, “The Cubans”, “The Vault” as well as staid names such as Banco Anglo Costarricense. An internecine klepto-cabal of dishonest lawyers, corrupt politicians and bureaucrats, bribe-taking Costa Rican Presidents, virulent union leaders, hired killers, a murdered prosecutor, an assassinated journalist -- all such lawlessness serves to nourish criminalities everywhere in Costa Rica. In addition, what about embezzling lawyers such as politically-connected Rocío Cerdas Quesada? The hallmark of such camouflaged criminals is maskedlies/automatic-lies/pathological-lies that weave their deeply-buried criminalities throughout Costa Rica. ...Each such unprosecuted crime undermines the concept of law in creating a national culture of dishonesty, criminality, and mayhem. Today, parasitical elites are ruining Costa Rica by blatantly ignoring escalating crime and micro-terrorism. They work under cover of flowery rhetoric and hypocritical gestures falsely gleaned from bogus rain-forest “environmentalism” images to bogus Nobel-Peace-Prize cachets. All the while, they are disassembling the lifeand-property rights of every resident. Without qualms about pillaging the working-and-business classes, its socialist-elite class lives parasitically -- largely free from accountability and criminal-law enforcement. Thusly corrupted, government-and-social structures of Costa Rica crumble. ...Similar to Lebanon a generation ago, is Costa Rica awaiting replacement of its escalating micro-terrorists by macro-terrorists -- perhaps ultimately by Castro/Chavez-led macro-terrorists? The Ravaging of Costa Rica As reflected on the editorial pages of the Costa-Rican Tico Times, micro-terrorists combined with thuggishlymilitant, anti-free-trade unions controlling corrupt politicians and socialist bureaucrats are destroying business, agriculture, and the middle class to yield a fast crumbling country. Such parasitical-elite leaders have little or no interest in protecting individual life-and-property rights of their middle-and-underclass citizens. …And, now, squatters who, as in Zimbabwe, are stealing private properties, seizing farms, and murdering their owners. Politicians, parasitical elites, and the upper classes live in barbed-wired “jails” -- high-fenced houses with barred windows -- while criminals freely roam the streets and scam-broken retirees commit suicide as investment capital disappears to hurt everyone. Thus, today, the safety and well-being of the working classes -- business owners, honest laborers, farm workers, and particularly their children -- suffer the most from the lawlessness now spreading throughout Costa Rica, ravaging its economy. “Everyone out for their criminal selves” is the noisome atmosphere now wafting throughout that dangerouslydecaying, pot-hole-pocked country.
*** The 2003 Gallup Global Corruption Survey of 47 countries found Costa Rica ranked fourth from the bottom, slightly ahead of Bosnia, Bulgaria, and Turkey, in its citizens believing that “political corruption strongly affects their personal-and-family lives.” Today, three ex-presidents of Costa Rica await justice and a fourth ex-president is being investigated. Two of those ex-presidents are now in jail for corruption, fraud, and payola. The third is avoiding arrest by hiding in Switzerland. Those prosecutions are the first encouraging developments for Costa Rica in signaling, at last, aggressive citizenprotecting law enforcement, perhaps influenced by the facts and realities of Pax Law. …Will the future reveal how Pax Law nullified the entire array of micro-terrorists and their enablers? Thusly accomplished, honest free enterprise would blossom to boom Costa Rica into the most-prosperous, happiest paradise of the Americas. Part Three MACRO-TERRORISM WORLDWIDE A Question of Life or Death The message of Pax Law is that elected officials are responsible for pro-actively nullifying microterrorists at their earliest acts of illicit activities against innocent citizens. With just-and-constitutional law enforcements, such terrorists must be nullified before, not after, they inflict their heaviest damages -- damages that if left unchecked will evolve into macro-terrorisms. All such terrorists must be nullified before they ghettoize a lovely town, before they impoverish a beautiful small country, before they nuke America, before they mass murder a world of value-creating innocents. Will Pax Law succeed? Will the rule of law triumph over the rule of self-serving politicians, murderous tyrants, and genocidal terrorists? Will clean-sweep riches, health, and happiness finally come to each-and-every Earthling? A New Illuminati CodeI am Alan G. Aeneas. I am a refuge from a past destroyed. I am a discover of a future world power. You know me. Until last year, I was geekishly cocky and wore a baseball cap backward. You saw me interviewed on TV a dozen times in 1999 and early 2000 during the climax of captain Bill’s great tech bubble. As a glamorous dot.com whiz kid, I became rich and famous faster then almost anyone as Captain Bill masterfully eliminated the concept of honesty from public thinking. His crew, me included, sucker punched a duped America without anyone realizing who was responsible for undermining its long-range economy, security, and future. In the late 1990s, with the boundaries of honesty removed, fraudsters like me easily manipulated Captain Bill’s delusions and accountant Bob’s hoaxes. I became a celebrity, sucked millions from duped investors, and bought a trophy wife -- a famous TV journalist. In early March 2000, I blurted out with irrational exuberance my now infamous line on TV, “You don’t need no stinkin’honesty in Bill’s hi-tech boom!” Then, within a month, without warning, my company became one of the first big dot.coms to crash into oblivion. By August 2000, I’d lost not only all my investors’ money, but lost everything I owned, including my trophy wife. …I was flat broke with millions in debt. How did all that happen so quickly? Let me start at the beginning: I quit college in the winter of 1998 and headed for Las Vegas to make a living servicing casino computers and playing Blackjack. You see, without any basis, I fancied myself as both a computer genius and card-counting Blackjack pro. But, with my drug-addled brain, I was unable to integrate more than two concepts at once. And, as a jazz saxophonist, I was too laid-back to build any kind of a career.
I landed a few lounge-show gigs in local casinos. Of course, I steadily lost at the Blackjack tables. In the spring of 1998, I contemplated my future while high on pot and wine. The more I contemplated, the more excited I became. Suddenly, I became wildly excited for the first time since reading Atlas Shrugged as a young teenager. …Man, was I hatching a plan, or what? A foolproof plan to make millions -- a plan that would make Ayn Rand proud! Well, I really didn’t have a viable business plan. For, you see, I knew nothing about business. In fact, I learned to violently hate business from my college professors. I’d even been arrested several times for destruction of business properties while demonstrating for the environment, for animal rights, against genetically altered crops, against multinationals. I was against anything and everything concerning business and science. My professors smiled and gave me A’s. Whenever possible, I hurt businesses, destroyed their properties, and shoplifted as much as possible hoping to get laudatory interviews on NPR and BBC. Of course, I never created any real values useful to others. I only destroyed values created by others for others. In emulating my heroes, I worked to bring our planet back to its pristine, pre-human state. Thus, the irony: From a cheshire grin, I began chuckling, then snorting loudly. Finally, I broke into hysterical screeching with both hands spasmodically grasping handfuls of air. The wine I’d been gulping squirted from my nostrils. “Hey, world, I’m gonna be a businessman!” I barked, laughed, and then choked. “How ‘bout that,” I rasped looking in the mirror and seeing tears streaming down my beet-red cheeks. “Screw my Marxist professors! Screw earth-goddess Gia!” Then I suddenly roared, “Bring back Ayn Rand! Bring back her Virtue of Selfishness! I’m gonna be a greedy rich bastard -- a famous celebrity too. I’m gonna get all the high times and movie-star chicks I want. Knighthood too. …Yeah, then I’ll become a public servant -- a politician like JFK. I’ll start by buying a senate seat. Then the Presidency? Why not? Bigger messes than I have made it...and I never killed or raped anyone.” The next morning, for the first time in my life, I threw myself into sustained, high-intensity efforts formulating and then developing a business plan. Not a rational plan, mind you, for my ideas were irrational. Yet, my plan was irresistibly compelling to greedy ears…and that’s all that counted. …I had concocted a dot.com scam for superfast riches and sex-scoring notoriety. The Rise What great timing. I was debuting at the height of Captain Bill’s hi-tech/IPO-stockmarket scam. My plans comprised an offshore, high-fee porn dot.com site that linked drug users and sex seekers to cheap, safe, drugand-sex suppliers worldwide. Within two weeks, I had three venture capitalists interested -- so interested that they could not sit still in their chairs as I glamorized my scheme. One investor became so excited that he stood up, clutched his crotch, and began rocking from foot to foot as if he were about to urinate in his pants. When I finished my presentation, he turned his face skyward and let out a long howl. Aiming to garner $250,000 in my first year, I corralled $350,000 during that one meeting alone. And, after only four months, I sucked two-million dollars into my bank accounts. …My cool accountant, Bob, did creative bookkeeping. His slick work concealed my public frauds while letting me live high as the moon. I spent most of the money on luxurious business suites along with expensive clothes and cars. With my scheme, I had to increasingly impress investors with displays of prosperity and confidence. I did that with surprising ease. Amazingly, the venture capitalists seemed even greedier than me. …Six months later, I had twenty-million dollars at my disposal! My hyperbolic pitches and Potemkin appearances kept mushrooming. Everyone believed me because each desperately wanted to. Investors and their money kept flooding in. I was their hero…their savior. Thus, I switched my full focus to taking care of myself big time. Moving into a four-bedroom penthouse overlooking the Las Vegas
Strip, I bought a trophy wife, his-and-her Lamborghinis, a Cigarette speedboat, two thoroughbred racehorses, and an Aspen ski chalet. My sole goal became cashing out at a billion dollars, letting the investors hold the bag. Yes, I was soon going to be a billionaire, just like my Aspen neighbor. Like me, he’s not a real businessman. Instead, he’s the world’s greatest political entrepreneur! He’s the prayer-cloaked, Kyoto-environmentalist -- Kenny Boy, the king of Enron -- my idol, my hero! …Emulating him, I began schmoozing with and enriching politicians of both parties. I wheeled and dealed the investors’ money into the most highly-leveraged stock options, margin-loan accounts, and financial derivatives. I reaped millions of dollars, week after week, as the markets soared -- free money by the tens of millions! One night, I even hit Caesar’s Palace to play Baccarat at fifty grand a bet. In five hours, I won eight-hundred-thousand dollars. I toked the peon dealers and cocktail waitresses ninety-thousand dollars. I was the biggest of the comped big shots. They called me a whale. I was treated like royalty. I couldn’t lose. Money and excitement poured in with my every move. Man, did I feel important. High on cocaine, I suddenly threw my arms in the air and yelled for all to hear, “Why didn’t I become a businessman years ago! Carnegie, Rockefeller, Gates step aside. I’m now the number-one business genius!” My two buxom companions -- twin babes, just like Hugh Hefner has -- snuggled even closer to me. Taking a deep drag on my Cuban cigar, I puffed smoke rings into their laughing faces. That night, I had them along with two showgirls, one of them a transvestite, at my disposal. What an orgy! God is Great! Thought I was going to die like my favorite Renaissance painter Raphael -- my favorite because he died young after a mega sex orgy. …I ached and walked funny for three days afterwards. The next morning, I lost two million dollars. ...So what! But, when my buxom twins left me for another high roller, I tried to tip over the Baccarat table -- like Frank Sinatra once did. Still, I was only joking -- laughing and having fun. You see, I was high on meth mixed with something else. I then began rapping loudly as two security guards escorted me from Caesar’s Palace to my waiting limousine. By the turn of the millennium, I controlled over a hundred-and-forty-million dollars with an IPO scheduled for August 2000. Hello billionaire! I was gonna be richer than any Colombian drug lord. I threw a $130,000 Christmas party for my twenty-two employees. I spent $350,000 for a Y2K New-Years party for my investors and ended up sleeping with two of their wives. I was atop the world. Nothing could stop me! The Fall Then came March 2000. The dot.com bubble suddenly, viciously burst. My IPO was never launched. All my leveraged option-and-derivative investments crashed and burned, leaving me with millions in unpaid margin loans, company loans, and derivative-speculation losses. My wife promptly left with my accountant after draining my personal assets and taking my jewelry, including my diamond-studded Rolex, even my saxophone, along with everything else of pawnable value. I was flat broke, stripped of assets, buried under millions in debt. I even bankrupted my parents who then disowned me. Friendless and destitute, I joined the Libertarian Party seeking hope. When they rejected me, I campaigned as an independent for the Las Vegas City Council, banking on my infamous name recognition. I got twenty-nine votes. ...My closest rival -- an ex brothel madam got 280 votes. Crushed, I went to a library computer to reconnect to my youthful idealist roots. I joined an Ayn-Rand-cult Internet discussion group to recall my strutting John-Galt days and boost my self-esteem. They ousted me for mentioning Immanuel Kant and Libertarianism in the same sentence without declaring them both as evil. I then tried to hire myself out as an internet/computer expert. Yet, I often caused more damage than good for my customers. I never cared, had no pride in my work, and accepted no responsibility for my actions. Wanting only to
extract maximum money for the least work, I purposely overbilled customers for my careless, often faulty work. Besides, I knew nothing about legitimate business. I could list only three items of experience on my résumé: (1) a 26-year-old college dropout who majored in sociology at Berkeley, (2) a professional antibusiness demonstrator, and (3) an ex-CEO of a major dot.com company, now bankrupt. …Soon, no one would hire me for anything. My financial frauds kept me from getting a work card to be a casino dealer. I became a standup comic and failed horribly. I got fired from Starbucks because of my seedy appearance. After that, even Burger King wouldn’t hire me. Having over a hundred-million dollars only a few months before, I was now not only bankrupt but I also became a homeless wino. ...After considering becoming a Muslim suicide bomber for glory and then overdosing on Prozac and alcohol, I became a born-again Christian for food. Trash into Diamonds Two months later, I was reborn for the third time. This time not as a con artist, not as a groveling born-again, but as an unstoppable wealth creator. How did that miracle happen? It happened on a record-cold, desert morning in January 2001. Rummaging for discarded valuables and salable information in the trashcans of an upscale Las Vegas suburb, red flashes caught my eye. Twenty yards further down the alley rising from a garbage can, beckoning like a Kubrick monolith, was a rectangular package bedecked with fluorescent-red ribbons fluttering in the breeze. Hypnotically, I was drawn to those flickering signals. When I grabbed the package, another flash caught my eye. A glaring white flash compelled me to look skyward. Atop a flagpole in a walled yard sixty feet from the trashcans was the lens of a video camera glittering in the brilliant sun. I froze, grinned at the camera staring at me, and started returning the beribboned package to the garbage can. Wait a minute, I thought still grinning at the camera. This is discarded trash. It’s mine! Abruptly, I turned away. Clutching the package, I ran from the alley. …For some strange reason, Eddie-Murphy’s movie, Trading Places, popped briefly into my head. Going to my cardboard shack beneath a freeway bridge, I ripped off the ribbons and tore open the block-like package. “Maybe it’s stuffed with hundred-dollar bills,” I rasped as my body shivered in the chilly wind. I then cussed bitterly on seeing nothing but a photocopy of a thick, black-covered manuscript from a strangely-named Illuminati Society. As I started to chuck it into the oil-drum fire of my homeless buddies, the title caught my eye: Escape Crash Hell -- Enter Prosperity Heaven. My hand grasping the tome suddenly pulled it snug to my chest. Retreating several paces and sitting on a tipped-over shopping cart, I began reading. It was written in plain English, easy to read. Yet, I soon sensed that beneath those words was another language -- perhaps a coded language embedded throughout -- a language unknown on Earth. And, what about that other-worldly packaging with its hypnotically-fluttering ribbons? What about that video camera glittering in the sun? And, now, this exotic manuscript? After a few minutes, my eyes were reading the words in an entirely different way. I was no longer reading in a normal, smooth-flowing analog manner. With words and phrases whizzing past me, I was reading in a digital manner. Then, as if composing on a harp my own concerto of riches, I began plucking golden nuggets from here and there on each page. As the energy of my mind rushed across and reorganized countless bits of information into entirely new patterns -- a new life form began emerging -- a future-predicting life form was emerging that wove my mind throughout this world and then across space and time. I felt as if I were entering a secret society that ruled the cosmos.
Soon hip-hop, rap-like bullets began blitzing my mind. They seemed like ten-second miracles. Unanswerable, those miracles were changing the very organization of my mind to yield entirely different views of the past, present, and future. They were shattering the life-long corruptions embedded throughout my mind, body, and soul. On mentally assembling that matrix, my head filled with new knowledge -- never-before-glimpsed knowledge of the future. ...Why was I thinking about Einstein and Eminem? What was that video camera about? A stunning thought electrified my mind: Is all written, spoken, and visual information throughout history up to this moment twisted into some bizarre non-reality? Does no one really know what he or she thinks, writes, or talks about? Is all human information twisted into losing illusions until read, heard, or seen through this different mind organization? Was Socrates right after all? Was he really the wisest person in Ancient Greece by realizing that he and everyone else on Earth actually knew nothing? Why am I suddenly thinking like this? Why am I suddenly thinking that most Earthlings today are simply blowhards, never really knowing what they are talking about? …Hey, I just realized that! Whoa, had I stepped through a diaphanous membrane into that secret society hidden in an all-knowing parallel universe? Had I now surpassed Socrates and everyone else? For once in my life, I was taking my mind seriously -very seriously. For the first time, I felt genuine power -- incredible, omnipotent power. Goose bumps rippled up and down my spine as that new force took control of my eyes in connecting seemingly random words and phrases with the future. Bits and pieces of future reality rushed into my brain, ripping apart the cobwebs that had atrophied my mind since childhood. Vivid pictures of the future began replacing hazy clouds of the past. …Within hours, I began seeing new-color snapshots that uncannily predicted the future. What was happening here? My closed circles of mystical thinking that yielded only the awful defeats of dishonesty and irrationality began disintegrating. Each bullet, each miracle yielded strange new information that connected into an open-ended matrix -- an ever-expanding matrix yielding and an ever-more-predictable future. Ten-Second Miracles Today, eighteen months later, I can hardly believe what has happened to me. Honesty, power, and profits flooded into my new life. First, I retrieved my wife. Under my new-mind aura, she transformed into an even-more-beautiful woman. As she read that manuscript, the same wealth, power, and love flowed to her. We became interlocked in an indescribably-rapturous romance. With our spreading sexual powers, we knew each could have as many romantic partners as we wanted, whenever we wanted. But, we chose each other. And, together, we grew increasingly rich and in love. …The power, wealth, and happiness we gained -- awesome! I was thinking in ways that I could never before imagine. Did the Wachowski brothers evolve their movie, The Matrix, from the same manuscript I had read? Had I taken the Red Pill for honesty? To whom do I owe this tremendous gift? Tapping our arsenal of ten-second miracles, my wife and I soon became millionaires again -- this time permanent, earned millionaires. All this only months after I sat on that tipped-over shopping cart reading that manuscript. All this even as the stockmarket and the economy continued falling. …How did this good fortune happen so quickly? It happened through rapid-fire, ten-second miracles streaming from that manuscript as silver bullets. Now, today, I can beckon those miracles and fire those bullets whenever needed, for whatever desired. Sixteen months earlier, even with my hundred-plus-million dollars of unearned wealth, I was a doomed loser. Now, today, I’m a guaranteed winner. At first, I was stunned, not realizing what really happened to me. Now, I understand the rapid escalation of profitable predictions flowing from that trashcan. Still, why was a fraudulent loser like me chosen to receive this secret Illuminati-like power? …I kept thinking about that video camera.
Was it amazing grace? Or was it like when mythical God chose murderer-and-rapist King David for some great Earthly task? …If a loser like me can soar into a life of riches and romance, then any conscious person can do the same upon accessing and firing those ten-second-miracle bullets -- silver bullets of profits, power, and love -- all delivered through that other-world manuscript. Discovering a Field of Diamonds Who will discover that manuscript next? Who will seize his or her field of diamonds? I do not know those answers. Yet, I do know that whoever discovers that manuscript must, as I did, seize that opportunity with all his or her alacrity and might to reap clean-sweep riches -- to experience the ecstasy of transfiguring from a miserable loser into an unbeatable winner experiencing forever-young romance. *** Thus, as Al’s story ends, a new story begins for Earthlings. Confucius bowed deeply, Socrates laughed knowingly, Jesus wept joyously, and Muhammad raged violently. A New Illuminati Code and Author's Summary The New Illuminati Code rises from Neo-Tech Gnosticism: First, realize that gnosticism has no connection to agnosticism. They are different words with entirely different meanings. ...Gnosticism identifies the war of good and evil -- the War of Two Worlds -- Earth’s final war. Neo-Tech Gnosticism methodically undermines Earth’s lethal anticivilization built upon dishonest politics, irrational religion, and destructive utopianism while creating a universal civilization built upon honest business, rational science, and creative art. Within that same process, Neo-Tech separates today’s blurred boundaries to distinguish the unreal from the real, the metaphysical from the physical, the mystical from the empirical. On September 11, 2001, Neo-Tech Gnosticism rose to settle the War of Two Worlds by dissembling Earth’s 2500year-old Anticivilization that continually diminishes and then terminates every conscious life. Pax Neo-Tech comprises Earth’s newly-rising Universal Civilization --a business/science/art civilization that delivers open-ended growth and prosperity to each who escapes the Anticivilization by choosing to prosper rather than perish: Prosper or Perish Choice To win the War of Two Worlds, first consider the “perish” choice and then the“prosper” choice: Perish Why not wipe out America? Why not kill every man, woman, and child. From a historical perspective, no reason not to. Consider the following facts:
At the height of the cultured-and-civilized Golden Age of Greece 2500 years ago -- during its famous “pure” democracy under Solon’s law -- thousands of Athenian citizens directly voted for sending an army to smash an independent City-State rebelling for its freedom from oppressive Athenian/Delian-League taxes and controls. Athenian-worshiping citizens thereby provided an enthusiastic mandate for their army to level that city, kill every man, and enslave or murder every woman and child. Thus, genocide, lawlessness, and enslavements could proceed without qualms. At the height of the cultured-and-civilized Roman Empire over two millennia ago during the Second Punic War, the Carthaginian general Hannibal victoriously marched across Italy on his way to conquer Rome. However, the shrewd tactics of temporary Roman-tyrant Fabius Maximus delayed Hannibal and eventually caused him to withdraw from Italy before reaching Rome. Fortunate, indeed, because Hannibal and his army had the explicit intention of burning Rome to the ground and killing every man while enslaving or killing every woman and child. After that near genocidal annihilation of Rome, the great Roman orator Cato ended every speech with “Delenda Cartago est!” -- “Carthage must be destroyed!” Thus, a half-century later, in the Third Punic War, Roman legions marched into Carthage, burned it to the ground, and killed every man while enslaving or murdering every woman and child. The Romans then supposedly salted the land upon which the metropolis of Carthage once flourished. …Carthage and its peoples were gone forever. In the ninth century, at the enlightened height of the cultured-and-civilized Muslim world, the Catholic Patron Saint of Spain, St. James the Moor Slayer, sat on his horse surrounded by a sea of beheaded Muslims. He strove to massacre all Muslims without mercy or question. …If only he had nuclear weapons, he’d have “killed ‘em all” in the name of God. Only a few decades past the enlightened height of Goethe’s-and-Schiller’s cultured and civilized 19thcentury Germany, the democratically-elected Adolf Hitler launched his “Final Solution”: First plunder and then kill every Jewish man, woman, and child in Europe in the name of the Fatherland and racial purity. Wildly cheered by his faith-swayed/hate-inculcated congregation, Hitler nearly completed his holy mission by murdering six-million Jewish men, women, and children before committing suicide in his bunker on April 29, 1945. *** Now, expand the “perish" choice: Why not wipe out conscious life on Earth? Many religious fundamentalists want to do just that. Why not kill every man, woman, and child…and then lay barren this planet? From a religious perspective, no reason not to: The “Final Solution” of both Christian-and-Muslim scriptures demands an apocalyptic, sadistically-brutal death for every conscious life on Earth. Why that gruesome slaughter of all Earthlings? For using their own minds to think independently as did the life-prospering Prometheus, the light-bearing Lucifer, the knowledge-seeking Eve, and every other free-thinking individual -- metaphorical or real. …Remember, also, according to the Holy Bible, God spared only the mindlessly-believing/blindly-obeying Noah and his wife from his unspeakably-cruel drowning of every man, woman, and child on Earth as well as every innocent animal, except for two of each species.
“Kill-‘em-all” preachings and desires have existed among religious believers since Biblical Judaism…and explicitly since St. John the Divine scribed the Christian Bible’s Book of Revelation in which God will sadistically murder every Earthling in a final-solution apocalypse. Why? For failing Him, the Father. On the day Hitler committed suicide, he expressed the desire to kill every German along with everyone on Earth. Why? For failing Him, the Führer. Indeed, if Hitler had the means at that moment -- doomsday cobalt-60 hydrogen bombs, for example -- he surely would have acted God-like and killed everyone on Earth. Life-hating losers have waited millennia for low-cost, kill-‘em-all means of envious retribution. Now, in the 21 century, those means are arriving. Countless such losers living today share those same psychotic Columbine/Hitlerian/God desires to kill everyone -- to kill every schoolchild, every American, everyone on Earth for causing their problems. …In a world filled with genocidal political/religious/utopian sociopaths, it is only a matter of a not-too-distant future before they have the means -- nuclear, biological, and/or chemical means -- to kill everyone. st
*** Perhaps within this decade, genocidal terrorists will gain access to plentiful weapons capable of annihilating entire populations. Jihadist terrorists will then focus on fulfilling the two ultimate Qur'anic commands from God: Convert everyone on Earth to Islam by killing those who resist. Then, according to both Muslim-andChristian Scriptures, all remaining Earthlings must apocalyptically suffer hideous deaths. Muslims, yes, but Christians leaving our planet barren of conscious life? Think for a moment what would have happened if President Jimmy Carter’s Christian-evangelical friend, Jim Jones, had access to a weapon capable of liquidating every conscious life on Earth. Would Reverend Jones have pulled the trigger? ...In a NewYork minute, he would have left our planet barren of conscious life. Prosper First step: Realize this final war is not just against duped, envy-crazed/kill-‘em-all Jihadists. It is a war of creative value producers versus parasitical value destroyers. It is war of honesty, rationality, and reality versus dishonesty, irrationality, and mysticism. It is a war of business, science, and art versus politics, religion, and utopianism as described throughout Pax Neo-Tech. Second step: Replace kill-‘em-all goals promoted not only explicitly by the scriptures of Christianity and Islam, but also implicitly by lethal doctrines of socialism and fascism. Replace with what? Replace those death-forall propositions with an explicit life-for-allproposition that posits commercial, reverse-aging/non-aging biological immortality as the naturally-achievable, highest goal and responsibility for conscious life throughout the Cosmos, including on planet Earth: CommercialBiological Immortality for Conscious Life on Earth A Godless Idea whose Time has Come
Appalled by the godless idea of biological immortality here on Earth? Appalled by the tawdry thought of biological immortality achieved via competitive, for-profit businesses? Appalled by the thought of commercial reverse-aging/non-aging stem-cell/cloning services that let clients live youthfully, agelessly? Of course you are. Nearly everyone, consciously or subconsciously, is repelled by the most-selfish idea imaginable -- the idea of never aging, never dying -- the idea of living happily forever in a conscious-created heaven here on Earth. Also, what about the technical problems? What about the continual increase in universal entropy and the continual shortening of DNA telomeres? What about the moral problems? What about making room for the young? Consider the scourge of overpopulation, the pollution of our planet, the exhaustion of its resources. Consider the unending boredom of eternity and the unbearable responsibility of eternal life. …Of course, the idea of non-aging conscious life on Earth is a crackpot idea, if not immoral. It always has been and always will be. Why? Because religion says so, politics says so, philosophy says so. But, wait! Not so fast. Business, science, and art do not say so. Today, quietly rising Pax Neo-Tech is reversing each of those problems and objections. How? By demonstrating that those technical problems and moral objections are not inherent in nature. They arise not from any valid wide-scope perspective of reality, but from biased narrow-scope perspectives that have gripped planet Earth for 2500 years. Realize that during these past twenty-five centuries, Earthlings have existed not in an open, life-giving civilization. Instead, they have existed in a closed, death-dealing anticivilization of politics and religions. Now, today, Pax Neo-Tech replaces those morbid-and-impoverished Anticivilization perspectives with healthy-and-prosperous Civilization-of-the-Universe perspectives. ...Mark Hamilton’s trilogy, The First Immortals, vividly details those new-color perspectives. *** Pax Neo-Tech is the dawn of everlasting prosperity. From that dawn flickers the primordial light of eternal life -- a brightening light that fades dark biases, dogma, and faiths. Conscious life reaching ever-brighter vistas generates the science, medicine, education, and business leading to commercialreverse-aging/non-aging health. …Each such conscious life then becomes an exciting, ever-advancing/problem-solving value to every other conscious life, to society itself, and to the entire Civilization of the Universe. A Paradigm Shift into an Immortal Psychology The first major objective of Pax Neo-Tech is to effect a psychological shift for conscious Earthlings from an ancient mortal psychology into a modern immortal psychology. Torment, however, comes upon realizing the blitheful, near-unanimous acceptance of today’s UNNECESSARY condemnation of every conscious life on Earth to decline and death. Except possibly for a tiny few, no one fully grasps that the adjective “unnecessary”, the adverb “unnecessarily”, and the noun “unnecessity” are real-life facts about our seemingly doomed future -- our UNNECESSARILY doomed future. An entirely-new psychology based on the evolution of immortal conscious life on Earth must now arise. Creating and deploying such a psychology requires the unfolding of Pax Neo-Tech among the populace. That unfolding begins with political-and-religious deconstructions that may initially bring dismay, even fear, among Earth’s populations. For, most people today fatally seek ever-more controls by religious, evangelical, or cultist leaders...as well as by socialist, fascist, or populist politicians.
Yet, to whom do Earthlings really owe respect and gratitude for their survival and prosperity? They owe nothing to religious, political, or celebrity elites. Instead, they owe everything to Earth’s unsung competitive value creators and producers who generate all the net values for conscious life. …On that matter, Neo-Tech shares Einstein’s perspective: A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend upon the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the measure as I have received and am still receiving. Albert Einstein *** To survive, camouflaged parasitical elites must by any-and-all means hide from the populace the hardfact answers to two questions: (1) Who are society’s net value creators? (2) Who are society’s net value destroyers? I keep asking myself, “Who understands the implications of those two questions?” Still, I know that near total non-understandings must shroud the first leg of this journey -- a psychological journey out of a dishonest/irrational world of politics, religion, and utopian philosophies…into an honest/rational world of business, science, and creative art. For, that psychology-changing journey travels an untrod path that no previous Earthling has broached or perhaps even perceived. ...Thereby, no choir exists for whom to preach Neo-Tech. Thus, ironically, rises Pax Neo-Tech’s strength and power for completing the “Six Telescopic Acts” listed below. THE SIX TELESCOPIC ACTS OF PAX NEO-TECH A Journey Back to the Future Somewhat analogous to the cosmic Big Bang: Look back in time through a syntactical telescope to predict and then control the future. Act One Clean-Sweep Riches available now (look back to 2003-2001) Act Two Prosperity, Health, Romance coming soon (look back to 2001-1999) Act Three Forever Young coming soon
(look back to 1999-1997) Act Four Neo-Tech Bullets coming later (look back in history to control the short-range future) Act Five Cosmic Overlay Charts coming eventually (look back to the beginning of time to control the long-range future) Act Six The Grand Beginning ultimate victory (endless prosperity, non-aging health, romantic happiness for all) Upon completing each Act, my responsibility shifts to making that Act fulfill its purpose of deconstructing rip-by-rip specific targets supporting today’s ersatz civilization. Those targets are politics/religion/utopianism. Simultaneously, I must bit-by-bit construct the ingredients of tomorrow’s universal civilization. Those ingredients are business/science/art. …A difficult but doable job that I can and will do. SNAPSHOT SUMMARIES OF PAX NEO-TECH (Clean-Sweep Riches -- Act One of Six Acts) Pax Neo-Tech weaves far-flung facts into coherent timelines that generate widely-waving/sharplycutting matrices plus narrowly-focused/bluntly-hitting bullets. That dual wave/particle action generates increasingly accurate insights and profitable understandings of the past, present, and future. As attuned readers proceed through Pax Neo-Tech, their expanding insights and understandings yield ever-increasing advantages -- Illuminati advantages of limitless power and profits. Such readers learn to focus on essentials while simultaneously thinking honestly, widely, and independently. They learn to think beyond biases, opinions, and faiths. They learn to neothink as revealed in Scenes One to Three. …From neothinking evolves the changed psychology needed to gain clean-sweep riches that bring commercialreverse-aging/non-aging conscious life. Scene One Are You Ready? Pax Neo-Tech’s journey into the future begins by integrating past history with present facts to (1) discover the escape route from today’s terminal anticivilization and then (2) travel toward tomorrow’s eternal Civilization of the Universe. …Scene One provides the explanations needed to embark on that journey. Scene Two Start Sweeping!
Scene Two answers the question Greek-historian Herodotus asked 2500 years ago: “What to do about history?” Integrating real-life experiences with current-and-historical facts reveals how to obsolete the present by controlling the future. Scene Two discloses the Clean-Sweep Solution not only for being a winner rather than a loser in life, but for living rather than dying on planet Earth. Scene Three Now, Collect Your Riches Blending history with current events and future projections, Pax Neo-Tech deconstructs piece-by-piece today’s politics, religions, and philosophies. That deconstruction dramatically fast-forwards the tortuous trend of the past 3000 years toward the Civilization of the Universe. Fast-forward how? Via the newly-unveiled BubbleControl Tool -- a tool that profitably shreds three millennia of life-destroying deceptions and mysticisms foisted upon conscious life through political, religious, and philosophical frauds. Upon activating that Bubble-Control Tool, a person outflanks false authorities, parasitical elites, and harmful demagogues to gain open-ended wealth, health, and romance. *** The three Arias outlined below highlight additional tools required for success of the "Pax NeoTech/Illuminati" endeavor: Aria #1 Song of Our Universe TheConstitution of the Universe combined with secular natural law dating back to Cicero in 51 BC provides the legal basis and protection protocol for evolving a just-and-prosperous business/science/art civilization here on Earth. …Pax Law in Coda #2 details that protocol. Aria #2 2003 Neo-Tech World Summit [November 21-23, 2003] Pax Neo-Tech riding the new Chariots-of-Fire literature is coming to win Earth’s final war -- the war against political impoverishments and religious terrorisms. Victory includes ending President Bush’s pokerplaying “God Blessings” along with ending his election-calculated preachings against stem-cell and cloning research -- the biomedical route to reverse-aging/non-aging health. To win the war against genocidal terrorists bent on destroying America, however, commander-in-chief Bush must defeat religious psychopaths from Islamic Saudi Arabia to evangelical America. He must also defeat America-threatening, socialist/fascist regimes in Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela as well as legions of hate-freedom, socialist/fascist saboteurs ensconced in the United States. If Bush handily wins the 2004 elections, he must start retreating from his religious-and-political ploys. He must, for example, rid himself of Attorney-General Ashcroft’s theocratic agenda. First, however, Bush must honor him for his competent post-9/11 actions that protected the American populace from further planned alQaeda terrorist attacks…and then fire him. Bush must also fire his ineffective Secretary of State Colin Powell and
replace him -- perhaps with free-enterprise/honest-talking Condoleezza Rice.…That Bush/Rice team would put “Honest-Abe” Rice on a fast track to a much-needed non-lawyer/non-politician Presidency in 2008. Aria #3 Liberating our Quantum Consciousness Flying forever beyond today’s anticivilization requires overcoming our hard-wired animal brain -- our mortal human brain. How? By liberating our quantum consciousness to evolve into neothinking -- to evolve into our natural lives of non-mystical, value-creating men and women. …To paraphrase Aristotle’s words, choosing not to reason means choosing slavery in an animal past: To paraphrase Neo-Tech words, choosing not to neothink means choosing enchainment in an anticivilization past. *** The three Codas outlined below gather various Neo-Tech concepts into a unifying juggernaut. Then, after firing illusion-shattering Neo-Tech bullets in every direction, that juggernaut ploughs through and nullifies the dishonesties and irrationalities ravaging conscious life today. …Such a unified Neo-Tech brings order out of chaos, honesty out of dishonesty, rationality out of irrationality. Coda #1 Golden-Nugget Outtakes Shifting from automaton nonthinking to independentneothinking tears down ideological fences. Removing those 3000-year-old fences dissipates religions, politics, and philosophies. For example, a Pax Neo-Tech unification of the Secular-Humanist socialist “left” with the George-Bush religious “right”would dissipate the biases and dogmas of both the left and right. As a result, force-backed socialisms and fascisms juxtaposed against fraud-manipulated mysticisms and religions would begin profitably canceling one another, breaking their millennia-old, lethally-noxious manipulations of the populace. Coda #2 Pax Law Starting 2600 years ago with the Greek-lawgiver Solon’s dictum of equality when standing before the law, Pax Law maps the constitutional/legal route for preventing the political/terrorist obliteration of conscious life on Earth. In that Coda #2, live-action factual examples at every level of government, local to worldwide, illustrate the clear choices for victory or defeat -- prosperity or impoverishment -- life or death. Coda #3 Al’s Story The reader discovers woven throughout Al’s gonzo adventure a new language that harnesses the universal laws of consciousness. That elegantly-simple language of space-time consciousness weaves the span of human history and current events into accurate causes and effects that predict the future to profitably control the course of human events, both naturally-created and consciously-created. *** Three Purposes of Act One
The primary purpose of Pax Neo-Tech, Act One, is to provide the psychological protocol that lets conscious life unleash its creative, productive, and neothinking powers toward developing the technologies and businesses yielding unending life and prosperity. The secondary purpose of Act One is to remove the hostile barriers, for example, among Libertarians, Objectivists, and Secular Humanists. They need not consume their irreplaceable time and lives on pointless ideological arguments based on narrow-scope principles that yield only dogma and stagnation. Instead, they could most profitably direct their considerable intellectual-and-moral strengths toward nullifying history’s three mostvirulent plagues: (1) Gods and scriptures, (2) mysticisms and utopianisms, (3) socialisms and fascisms. Thefinal purpose of this Act One is to clean sweep the scourges spreading from those curable plagues -the unnecessary scourges of war, crime, disease, aging, and death ravaging conscious life on planet Earth for millennia. *** [emailprotected] Endnotes for Act One Scammers and Flamers (September 2004) Below describes how Neo-Tech Publishing Company (NTP) deals with illicit scammers and dishonest flamers: SCAMMERS Those within NTP have over three decades built a matrix of unmatched values for enriching conscious life on Earth. Professional parasites, however, continue to illicitly usurp values flowing from that matrix. Unable to create competitive values on their own, they trick their victims by skimming intellectual property, trade names, and copyrighted works from NTP. False representations of Neo-Tech by those professional parasites contradict the enriching purpose and ennobling goal of Neo-Tech. Most important, however, such malevolent parasites often deeply wound and sometime permanently damage their victims by misleading and trapping them into becoming scam-duped losers. …Below are two current warnings: Neo-Tech Specifics (aka: Neo-Tech Applied) -- a Fraud Trap Wealth-Warriors (aka: Neo-Tech Warriors and Neo Warriors) -- a Cult Trap Danger An Internet click-ad fraud calling itself Neo-Tech Specifics operates from untraceable offshore locations by a person using the name Alexander Moss...and other false names. As our customers report, that company fraudulently exploits Neo-Tech by illicitly expropriating Neo-Tech's trademark, trade names, and copyrighted literature. Many lured by that false association with Neo-Tech provided written reports detailing their victimization by that fraud. Those reports described how Neo-Tech Specifics markets dangerous, high-priced schemes that contradict Neo-Tech ideas and principles. Those customers also provided written details how that company scams from victims thousands of dollars per hit -- up to $7000 per bogus product. Neo-Tech Specifics insidiously dupes its victims into buying “guaranteed”
commodity-trading schemes, gambling schemes, and “health” schemes. That company intimidates, threatens, and then ignores those victims seeking refunds on their bogus, high-priced “guaranteed” products. Various victims detailed in writing not only how that swindle bilked them each out of thousands of dollars, but also how that company’s dangerous health-and-diet frauds damaged or broke their health. Beware A self-styled swami operating under the name of Michael Skye (1) usurped Neo-Tech trade names, (2) illicitly used the names of Neo-Tech authors, (3) dishonestly exploited Neo-Tech’s World Summits, (4) twisted Neo-Tech literature, and (5) dishonorably violated oral-and-written pledges to stop his parasitical skimming of NTP’s probono mailings as well as his illicit accosting of NTP’s customers. His cult, now called Wealth Warriors conducts high-priced ($2000+), pump-up “boot-camp” operations admittedly structured on Scientology, Landmark, and Forum cult schemes. …Recently, an equally-shameful scheme has sprung up. A character named Carl Noland, a disciple of Skye, also parasitically skims NTP’s intellectual properties and pro-bono mailings by promoting a NeoTech usurping contrivance called Neo-Warriors. Such cults ultimately yield financially-and-psychologically damaged prey -- sad-sack losers. Cult followers who never break free to think and act on their own ultimately sink ever-deeper into mystical infirmities, unhappy dependencies, and losing lifestyles. …Cults are inherently dishonest and destructive. No one associated with Neo-Tech Publishing Company (NTP) will or can act as an authority or leader for anyone. Indeed, no product or authority can lead people out of mysticisms and into personal success. As an antiauthority/anti-cult/anti-mystical enterprise, NTP has no leaders. It seeks no followers. Instead, NTP provides new knowledge and effective tools to gain self-earned prosperity, health, and romance. How? Through one’s own integrated thinking, independent initiative, and self-leading effort. The Only Valid Neo-Tech Business Addresses Since its business consolidation over a decade ago, Neo-Tech Publishing Company (NTP), Neo-Tech Worldwide, De la Rosa Neo-Tech, and Integrated Management have been located only in Green Valley and Henderson, Nevada with the following exceptions: In 2004, NTP established a De la Rosa Neo-Tech branch in UK Scotland. In 2005, NTP will expand into two new business and distribution facilities -- one in Clifton, New Jersey, the other in Grove City, Ohio. …No other location is a valid NTP address. Moreover, NTP has never given permission for anyone to use its trademark, trade names, or copyrighted material to sell or promote anything -- anywhere in the world. Nor has NTP ever given anyone permission to associate in any way with Neo-Tech’s name, authors, or literature in selling or promoting any product or service. Who Deprived Web Readers of Neo-Tech? Since 1996, millions of readers have gained unmatched benefits from NTP’s pioneering free-library website. Millions have prospered financially, healthwise, and romantically from having free access to Neo-Tech literature. Indeed, the pro-bono Neo-Tech website has literally saved thousands of lives from (1) lethal mysticisms, (2) cult degradations, (3) religious hoaxes, (4) government abuses, (5) politically-correct business destructions, (6) food-alcohol-drug addictions, and (7) even suicide itself as evident from the many comments found on Neo-Tech’s positive-comments link. …Also, see the negative-comments link.
On July 24, 2003, Neo-Tech Publishing (NTP) regrettably removed its vast array of growing publications -- thousands of pages -- from free access on its website. The only link remaining on its homepage is the current work in progress, Pax Neo-Tech, which will also be removed sometime before its book publication. Why? Because a few individuals, such as those cited above, exploited Neo-Tech’s name, violated its trademark, trade names, and copyrights while lifting its intellectual property to spawn illicit products and destructive swindles. *** Like young children, honest businesses are vulnerable and precious. Both children and businesses offer endless values to society. Yet, to survive and flourish, rational parents/owners along with just societies/laws must protect their children and businesses from harmful malefactors in government, business, and society. *** Neo-Tech Publishing Company has retained an international copyright-and-trademark attorney in Virginia, John W. Dozier, Jr., Esq., to initiate legal actions against those individuals and companies that fraudulently use the Neo-Tech trademark or trade names...and violate its copyrights, steal its intellectual property, as well as claim false affiliations with Neo-Tech Publishing Company. Victims can help nullify such predators, including those described above, by emailing details of grievances to [emailprotected]. *** FLAMERS Posted Response to Internet Flamers of Neo-Tech Two Questions For twenty-eight years, both the religious/evangelical-right and the socialist/fascistleft have tried to vanish Neo-Tech from this planet. Two questions: (1) Why do they want Neo-Tech to vanish? (2) What have been the results of their assaulting Neo-Tech for the past three decades? Now to answer the above two questions: Most Neo-Tech flamers exist through delusions. Neo-Tech strips away those life-draining delusions. Thus, such embarrassingly-naked flamers seem able to deliver only ad-hominem rants and vilifying emotionalisms against unanswerable Neo-Tech and its creators. Few if any flamers have valid criticisms or complaints. In fact, most have never seen or read, much less studied, Neo-Tech’s delusion-breaking literature or attended Neo-Tech World Summits. NTP offers life-saving/life-flourishing values to everyone. Its Illuminati matrix delivers riches, health, and romance. Review the many hundreds upon hundreds of life-flourishing testimonials at www.neotech.com/feedback/index.php. And, most important, review the hatefully-violent comments that often come from political-and-religious zealots profanely damning and physically threatening Neo-Tech authors with Biblical
torture, bloody maiming, gruesome assassination, and hellish death as revealed on www.neotech.com/comments/negative.html. Neo-Tech’s Mission Upon establishing an Illuminati mission after its first major publication in 1968, NTP never focused on profit alone. Its authors wrote to fulfil that mission. NTP crafted every publication since 1976 to explicitly free people from the lethal deceptions foisted upon them by today’s political-and-religious civilization, which is not a civilization at all but is actually a destructively-irrational anticivilization. …Throughout the 20th century, that anticivilization murdered 160-million innocent civilians while extracting the riches and happiness from billions of duped innocents in the name of politics and religion. Since 1996, in striving to advance its mission through pro-bono strategies, NTP was the first and perhaps the only publishing house ever -- large or small -- to put all its major works in their unabridged entirety on the Web for free public reading. Thus, before purchasing any book, everyone had the opportunity to read each-and-every NeoTech publication online without paying a penny! The Red Pill of Honesty Can Neo-Tech free entire populations from the deceptions of politics, religion, and philosophy? Can enough people ultimately take the red pill of honesty to free our world? As revealed in the Neo-Tech based movie, The Matrix, freedom comes not from manipulative truth but from unbending honesty. …Truth will not set you free; honesty will. Artists/writers Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle of DC Comics likewise produced a popular series of Batman comic books titled Anarky that were based explicitly on Neo-Tech and its matrix-shredding power. French artist Marc Gratas also rendered oil paintings that explicitly reflect the life-changing powers of Neo-Tech. The Matrix, Anarky, and Gratas illustrate Neo-Tech’s 30-year theme: Upon harnessing fully-integrated honesty, free-and-peaceful individuals profitably outcompete those who remain trapped in today’s authoritarian matrix. Neo-Tech, therefore, is not about saving the world per se, but is about freeing individuals so each can flourish without chains or limits. *** Neo-Tech Publishing (NTP) distributes its unfolding values to 170 countries in 13 languages. Especially over the past dozen years, NTP has increasingly influenced contemporary politics, cable news, talk radio, and the movie industry. ...NTP works to competitively advance the well-being, health, and happiness of society as documented in the evolving Pax Neo-Tech opus available for free public perusal at www.neo-tech.com/paxb1/index.php. NTP’s Take As documented on its website, NTP benevolently reveals valuable anti-theistic/anti-authoritarian benefits. Still, not surprisingly, Neo-Tech infuriates intolerant Christian conservatives, born-again fundamentalists, crusading evangelists, and Muslim jihadists...as well as Marxist academics, socialist-fascist politicians, politically-correct journalists, and Gorean-green demonstrators. NTP explicitly and emphatically does not want such people acquiring its literature. For, all too many zealots not only become virulently enraged but also violently threatening upon encountering Neo-Tech’s Voltairean anti-theist/anti-socialist/anti-fascist literature. Some zealots literally burn our “satanic” books and then dishonestly receive refunds without returning their products. Why? Not just to
larcenously steal from NTP, but also to “strike a financial blow against Satan” as one born-again/criminal-minded fundamentalist gleefully trumpeted. So, what is the point of dealing with such people? There is no point. No, we do not want such people acquiring our literature. No, we do not want them associating with our writers or our readers. In fact, we intentionally lace our mailing pieces with metaphors designed to repel those profanely and sometimes violently hostile people. …Can you blame us? Finally, concerning our constitutional First-Amendment rights -- our free-press/free-speech rights: They are the supreme legal rights of every American. It is our responsibility as authors and as a publishing company to uphold those rights by never relenting, never compromising on achieving NTP’s goal via free press and free speech. Moreover, we shall always (1) aggressively extinguish theistic-and-political intrusions upon our legal-andconstitutional rights and (2) promptly report to the appropriate law-enforcement agency every theistic-andpolitical threat, hate crime, copyright/tradename theft, and act of violence directed at us. …Can you understand why we hire the tightest security and legal protections for our writers? *** Everyone should first carefully peruse NTP’s website at www.neo-tech.com. Those who recognize Neo-Tech as crucial to the survival and well-being of them, their loved ones, and humanity itself -- now and for generations to come -- are welcome to send their comments and request for literature to [emailprotected]. In Conclusion Always aware of Omar Khayyam’s admonition, Neo-Tech authors stand behind every word that they write and readily admit any error that they commit: The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it Omar Khayyam (1048-1131) What about those who physically threaten, hatefully profane, and libelously flame Neo-Tech on the Internet? Their unwise words are non-erasable and forever available to anyone and everyone for future reference. Foolishly recording such non-erasable words is a prescription for being eternally branded a loser. To each such sad person, helpfully say this: Step on the other side of stifling dogmas dictated by others. Discover an exciting world of freedom and success -- discover a happy life filled with prosperity, health, and romance. Discover Neo-Tech. NEO-TECH POWER and the NEO-TECH ADVANTAGES The easiest, quickest way to gain Neo-Tech/Psychuous advantages for prosperity, power, and romantic love is simply to forge ahead: Read all the Neo-Tech Advantages in order. Do not make prejudgments. Wait until you have
completed all 114 Neo-Tech Advantages. Forget judgments made by others. Do your own thinking; make your own judgments. Grab the values from those concepts to which you can relate. Put aside temporarily those concepts you are uncertain about or disagree with. By the end of this volume, all the concepts will come together into a clear, harmonious understanding -- into a powerful, practical matrix. You will then have integrated control over all competitive situations through the Neo-Tech concepts. You will also know exactly what is happening and exactly what to do. You will forever know how to conquer mysticism in self and others. You will forever know how to quell all neocheaters. You will forever hold the power of prosperity and romantic love. *** All advantages in this manual are backed by the original Neo-Tech source -- the "Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia". Neo-Tech Advantage #1 THE NATURE OF MAN AND WOMAN Anyone can experience financial prosperity, psychuous pleasures, and long-range happiness by satisfying his or her biological needs (i.e., physical, psychological, emotional, intellectual needs). Psychuous pleasures require the freedom to satisfy one's own healthy needs and to set one's own standards...to live without being obligated to fill someone else's needs or to follow someone else's standards (e.g., standards of parents, spouse, government, church). But in freedom, a person's actions must be rational and responsible to be beneficial. Irrational or mystical actions will always diminish a person's well-being and happiness. In asking, "What is the nature of man and woman?", a person might also ask, "What is reality?" and "What is required for prosperity, love, and happiness?" Losers will answer from a mystical, Platonistic basis. Winners will answer from a rational, Aristotelian basis: 1. WHAT IS THE NATURE OF MAN AND WOMAN? Loser/Mystical Answer (Platonistic) Human beings are by nature evil, irrational, and destructive. They are subordinate to "higher" causes. Human beings must be controlled by some higher authority or government and forced to serve others or society. Winner/Factual Answer (Aristotelian) Human beings are by nature good, rational, and productive (or mankind could not exist). Human beings are competent to fill their needs and to achieve happiness. By being free to act according to their own nature, they will best serve themselves and society without force or coercion from any authority or government. 2. WHAT IS REALITY? Loser/Mystical Answer (Platonistic) Reality is what the mind thinks or imagines. Wishes, will, or faith can create or alter reality. "True" reality is unknowable. Winner/Factual Answer (Aristotelian) Reality is what exists. Reality exists independently of anyone's thoughts, desires, will, or wishes. All reality is knowable. 3. WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR PROSPERITY, LOVE, AND HAPPINESS?
Loser/Mystical Answer (Platonistic) Sacrifice, humility, and service to duty are needed for prosperity, love, and happiness in the hereafter. Winner/Factual Answer (Aristotelian) Rational action, self-esteem, and production of competitive values for others are needed for prosperity, love, and happiness here on earth. Complete answers to the above three questions are developed throughout the 114 Neo-Tech Advantages. Human beings survive by using their minds rationally to deal with reality. They must know reality to competitively produce the values needed to prosper. Only by being left free to satisfy their nature can human beings serve themselves and others best. ...People who live free and according to their natures can easily build a future of prosperity and happiness. Moreover, with Neo-Tech, such people can easily rid themselves of mystics and neocheaters. Neo-Tech Advantage #2 THE CHILD OF THE PAST The child of the past exists in every adult. Lost within faded memories, that child keeps searching for a life of adventure, discovery, value, happiness. The Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts let the reader turn inward to discover that child. And then the reader can break free from those who are hurting him or her...from those who are wasting his or her time and resources. That child of the past will kindle a new life of adventure, discovery, value, happiness. Neo-Tech Advantage #3 CARVING ONE'S OWN DESTINY While the past is gone forever, it offers valuable experience and reference points that can enhance one's present and future. But many people consume too much time living in the past. Those people often cripple their potential by living and thinking in terms of concrete, past experiences. Thus, they fail to grasp the broader concepts and principles necessary for productive growth into the future. People who live in the concrete past lose the ability to control their futures. Those who achieve long-range prosperity, happiness, and psychuous pleasures are well aware of the experiences and knowledge gained from their past. But, they live in the present while continuously building the integrations for growing into the future. Rational value producers can view their personal futures with confidence in the knowledge that they have the power (through their own rational minds and efforts) to control their own destinies no matter what external variables impinge on them. With the exception of being trapped in an inescapable totalitarian slavery situation,[ 1 ] rational individuals can carve their own destinies while achieving great prosperity, romantic love, and happiness no matter what external forces surround them. Indeed, by removing mysticism, the rational mind can be more powerful than all those irrational minds that constantly work to diminish everyone's life [Re: Table 7, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. The rational mind can also vanquish the destructive effects of religion and the God concept. Likewise, with the rational mind one can spring free from the guilt pushers and freeloaders as well as from "friends" and relatives (including parents and nondependent children) who do not offer overall values to one's personal life. The variables of nature (e.g., weather, tides, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods) can have chance impacts and shortrange effects on a person's life. For most productive people, however, natural variables have little or no effect in their long-range lives. Other natural forces such as the faint celestial forces (minute gravitational and electromagnetic forces from planets and from stars beyond our sun) have no effect on anyone's life, except for
the illusionary, psychologically damaging effects on those who allow their thinking or actions to be stunted or undermined by immature beliefs such as astrology. [Re: Concept 41 in the Neo-Tech Encyclopedia exposes mystical frauds such as astrology and UFOs. The Encyclopedia also reveals the harmful effects those frauds have on prosperity, romantic love, and long-range happiness.] Footnotes: [ 1 ] A no-hope, no-escape situation would occur only with total cont rol by master neocheaters. That situation would mean a Stalin/Pol Pot style, never-ending terror totalitarianism with no hope for change within one's lifetime or no place to escape to freedom. Under such conditions, life for the moral, productive individual would be intolerable, unbearable, and not worth living. The only viable option would be to maintain one's personal integrity and freedom by surviving without slavery through underground or guerrilla existences. [Re: Concept 22, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Neo-Tech Advantage #4 DOGMA AND RULES ELIMINATED All Neo-Tech/Psychuous Concepts develop from the three basic elements of human nature -- the physical, intellectual, and psychological nature of man and woman [Re: Concept 7, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. All individuals are uniquely different with widely variable tastes, desires, personalities, characteristics, and needs. Neo-Tech offers no fixed rules or dogma for any individual to follow. Neo-Tech deals with principles and concepts. Anyone can choose to use any number of the 114 NeoTech/Psychuous Concepts. Since each of the 114 Concepts developed by Neo-Tech are linked to the basic nature of man and woman, the application of any single concept will deliver certain specific values. The application of each additional concept will deliver additional values. The more Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts the reader uses, the greater will be his or her prosperity and happiness. To fully utilize any concept, however, an individual must first integrate that concept through one's own mind according to his or her own unique character and values. ...But the unbeatable power of Neo-Tech comes from grasping, integrating, and then using all 114 Advantages as one mighty, unbreakable unit or matrix. Neo-Tech Advantage #5 UNIVERSAL GOOD AND BAD ACTIONS: BLACK AND WHITE MORAL ABSOLUTES Rational or good actions increase prosperity, happiness, and psychuous pleasures. Irrational or bad actions undermine those values. While each individual's life and values are unique, certain basic actions never change in terms of good or bad actions. The rightness or wrongness of those basic actions do not vary according to opinion, or from person to person, or from generation to generation, or from culture to culture, or from solar system to solar system. Universally good or bad actions are objectively based on the biological nature of human beings and are definable in absolute terms. But other actions are amoral and cannot be judged in terms of good or bad because they are a matter of personal preference determined by individual differences. Universal morals are objective. They are not based on opinions of the author or anyone else. Universal morals are not created or determined by anyone. No one can deem what is moral and what is not moral. The same moral standards exist for each and every human being throughout all locations, cultures, and ages. Those standards are independent of anyone's opinions or proclamations. Moreover, two and only two black-and-white moral standards exist. Those two moral standards are:
Any chosen action that purposely benefits the human organism or society is morally good and right. Any chosen action that purposely harms the human organism or society is morally bad and wrong. Feelings and emotions, on the other hand, cannot be considered as standards, absolutes, or morals. A person's life-style, desires, needs, and preferences can vary greatly without altering that person's character or without making that person morally right or wrong. Still, moral absolutes do exist. And following or violating moral absolutes determines a person's character and self-esteem. The two moral absolutes essential for prosperity and happiness are: 1. Integrated honesty for knowing reality 2. Integrated efforts for increasing productivity Habitually violating either of those two moral absolutes precludes genuine prosperity and happiness. Related to those absolutes are the following moral issues: Honesty Self-esteem Individual rights *** Sacrifice Use of force Ends justifying the means The list below shows how each moral issue separates into either a moral, pro-life, pro-individual category or an immoral, anti-life, anti-individual category. Objective morals are based on reality, reason, logic. Subjective "morals", on the other hand, are based on unreal, arbitrary feelings or wishes. All such unreal "morals" require force, deception, or coercion to impose them on others. Subjectivism, mysticism, existentialism, and "do your own thing" are all attempts to deny objective morals by implying that no standards exist and everything is of equal value (thus denying objective morals and values). UNIVERSAL MORAL ISSUES Moral Issue: Honesty. Prosperity and Happiness Approach Conscious striving for self-honesty. Unyielding loyalty to honesty. Productive effort. (Moral) Failure and Unhappiness Approach Pragmatic compromise and evasion of honesty. Habitual dishonesty. Parasitical laziness. (Immoral) Moral Issue: Productivity. Prosperity and Happiness Approach Productive actions that increase values to others and society while increasing effectiveness in dealing with reality. (Moral) Failure and Unhappiness Approach
Destructive actions that decrease values to others and society while decreasing effectiveness in dealing with reality. (Immoral) Moral Issue: Individual Rights. Prosperity and Happiness Approach Recognition of the inalienable right everyone has to his or her own life and property. (Moral) Failure and Unhappiness Approach Denial of individual or property rights in order to plunder the life and property of others. (Immoral) Moral Issue: Sacrifice[ 2 ]. Prosperity and Happiness Approach Refusal to sacrifice is by nature life enhancing and thus is morally right. (Moral) Failure and Unhappiness Approach Sacrifice is "noble", especially when done for a "higher" cause or, better yet, no cause. (Immoral) Moral Issue: Use of Force. Prosperity and Happiness Approach Rejecting the initiation of force, threat of force, coercion, or fraud against any individual for any reason is the foundation of morality. (Moral) Failure and Unhappiness Approach Use of force (especially government force) is acceptable against individuals, especially if the result serves the social "good" or a "higher" cause. (Immoral) Moral Issue: Ends Justifying the Means. Prosperity and Happiness Approach In regards to force, the ends never justify the means. All moral actions are based on principles that prohibit initiatory force, threat of force, coercion, and fraud as a means to accomplish ends, no matter how "noble". (Moral) Failure and Unhappiness Approach Ends can justify the means. Force and coercion can be pragmatically used for the "good" of society. Individual rights can be violated or sacrificed for "noble" ends. (Immoral) Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page
Footnotes: [ 2 ] Sacrifice occurs when a value is diminished or destroyed for a lesser value or a nonvalue. Neo-Tech Advantage #6 ABANDONING THE NEOCHEATERS All destructive authorities and other neocheaters would become powerless if the value producers withdrew their support and said "no". If all victims simply said "no" to their victimizers, all professional mystics and neocheaters would lose their power to plunder others and destroy values. Consider this quote from A Discourse of Voluntary Servitude by Etienne de la Boétie, written in the 16th Century: "The oppressor has nothing more than the power you confer upon him to destroy you. Where has he acquired enough eyes to spy upon you if you do not provide them yourselves? How can he have so many arms to beat you with if he does not borrow them from you? The feet that trample down your cities, where does he get them if they are not your own? How does he have any power over you except through you? How would he dare assail you if he had not cooperation from you?" Stanley Milgrams in his book, Obedience to Authority, demonstrates through the famous electric-shock experiments done at Yale that the majority of average, honest citizens will follow authority to do destructive, immoral acts up to the point of injuring, even killing other people. As quoted from Milgrams's book: "...ordinary people simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process. Moreover, even when the destructive effects of their work become patently clear, and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority." But what is that external authority? It is a myth that has no basis in reality. Such external authority always develops into a destructive machine when the majority unthinkingly or out of fear accept, obey, and follow the commands and wishes of that authority. In reality, no one has genuine authority over anyone else. Once that fact is realized, a person can say "no" and break the destructive habit of obedience to the myth of authority. Then the neocheaters would be abandoned by the value producers. And all value destroyers would founder with no power to survive. Neo-Tech Advantage #7 PROSPERITY AND HAPPINESS GOALS Life is the universal standard to which all people are subject. And life -- conscious human life -- is the standard on which every Neo-Tech Concept is based. How does the standard of life relate to prosperity and happiness? Human beings must meet specific needs to function at their best (i.e., to function as the living organism is designed to function). Filling those needs produces prosperity, pleasure, and happiness.[ 3 ] The Neo-Tech Concepts provide the knowledge for filling those biological needs -- physical, psychological, and intellectual needs. And in filling those biological needs, personal prosperity and happiness become the natural, rational goals of human life. An important purpose of Neo-Tech is to demonstrate that three requirements for prosperity and happiness always exist: (1) a healthy physical state, (2) a healthy self-esteem, and (3) an honest, efficacious handling of objective reality in competitively producing maximum values for others. A person can meet all three requirements by using the Neo-Tech concepts. But to earn prosperity through productivity requires rational thought and constant effort. ...By nature, a prosperous, happy life is an active, challenging life. [Neo-Tech Advantage #11
provides a self-evaluation test to determine if one has oriented his or her life as a value producer or as a value destroyer.] Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 3 ] Throughout Neo-Tech, the words prosperity, pleasure, and happin ess are always used in a rational context. For, irrational prosperity or pleasures are based on destructive actions (e.g., profit by fraud, victory by force, success by deceit, pleasure by drugs). Such actions may provide a transitory sense of euphoria, pleasure, or well-being, but can never deliver abiding prosperity or happiness. Neo-Tech Advantage #8 HAPPINESS TEST A person sets up prosperity and earns happiness from within. Happiness cannot be taken from the material world or from another person. Happiness depends on genuine self-esteem, which is a product of a person's own life and choices. Happiness is a deeply personal, inner matter. Thus, no one can judge another person's happiness by outward appearances alone. A person may be miserable (such as a nonproductive mystic), but project a happy, cheerful appearance. Another person may appear unsmiling, even stern or cross (such as an intensely busy business executive), but if he or she is a productive person with self-esteem, that person will be profoundly happy. To achieve long-range happiness, an individual must be mentally healthy. Many people, including most psychiatrists and psychologists, erroneously believe that mental health depends on how well a person adapts to the views and opinions of others, the majority, or society. That belief places conformity as the standard for mental health. But, instead, mental health depends on a loyalty to honesty, regardless of the views and opinions of others or one's own feelings. Indeed, the individual must deal honestly with reality to gain the productivity and self-esteem required for quality survival of the mind and body -- for prosperity and happiness. Productivity and self-esteem build on each other. They are not, however, in a cause-and-effect relationship. The cause is character evolvement, development, and maturity; the effect is both productivity and self-esteem. And that effect delivers prosperity and happiness. The human mind and body, by nature, function harmoniously. But when an individual accepts mystical ideas or takes irrational actions, the mind and body clash and contradict each other (e.g., the acceptance of religioninspired guilt clashes with the sexual natures of men and women). With Neo-Tech, one can easily determine the direction that an individual is moving: (a) toward prosperity, happiness, and life, or (b) toward conflict, unhappiness, and death. [Re: Table 3, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] Neo-Tech Advantage #9 REWARDS FROM LIFE Nearly everyone desires the rewards available from conscious life. But, few people achieve those rewards. And, by nature, people who buy into mysticism or promote altruistic, self-sacrifice can never experience those rewards.
The main reasons for prosperity limitations and failures are (1) the lack of knowledge and (2) the acceptance of mysticism. But the Neo-Tech concepts provide that knowledge for eliminating mysticism to achieve full-range prosperity and happiness. Many myths about prosperity and happiness promoted by professional mystics and neocheaters sound right and click into people's minds as packages of truth. But those myths are misleading and destructive. For example, the works of Sigmund Freud, Herbert Marcuse, and Wilhelm Reich promote the myth that sex dominates human behavior. Their views help promote the false notion that all human life is oriented around sex. While sex is important to life, joy, and pleasure, such an all-inclusive life orientation around sex is false. Instead, the drive for life is oriented around advancing the survival and well-being of the living organism -- not around sex. Survival is man's fundamental physical need. And self-esteem is man's fundamental psychological need. A person's life is oriented around those physical and psychological needs -- not around sex. ...Still, sex plays a major, pervasive role in human life, joy, and pleasure. Neo-Tech Advantage #10 THE HIGHEST CAUSE -- THE CONSCIOUS INDIVIDUAL The highest cause in the universe is the well-being and happiness of the conscious individual. The individual -- a minority of one -- is the smallest, the most important, most unprotected of all minorities. If rights of the individual are protected, then rights are protected for everyone -- for Blacks, Chicanos, women, factory owners, factory workers, farmers, homosexuals. The concept of minority rights is meaningless, prejudicial, and destructive. In fact, that concept is a tool used by professional mystics and neocheaters to usurp power and unearned values not by protecting but by violating the rights of individuals. Only the concept of individual rights is meaningful and valid. The following table contrasts the anti-individual, neocheating view to the pro-individual, Neo-Tech view. ANTI-INDIVIDUAL VIEW VERSUS PRO-INDIVIDUAL VIEW Anti-Individual, Neocheating View (Platonistic Oriented) The uncontrolled, free individual is by nature bad and harmful to conscious life. Morally, the individual must be controlled by external "authorities". Group or government force is necessary to control the individual to make him do good. The conscious individual is subordinate to society or to "higher" or "nobler" causes. The use of force to compel individuals to comply with the "will" of society is moral. The moral purpose of life is self-sacrifice in serving "higher" goals. Pride is a character flaw. Service to a government by conscription is necessary and proper. Property belongs to society, the "people", or the government. Social science is a valid, valuable science. Populations consist of various groups of people, societies, and cultures. Pro-Individual, Neo-Tech View (Aristotelian Oriented)
The uncontrolled, free individual is by nature good and beneficial to conscious life. Morally, the individual must be free and remain free from external "authorities". Both the individual and society function best when the individual is free from any group control, government force, or external "authority". The conscious individual is the highest, noblest possible good or cause in the universe. The use of initiatory force against any individual for any reason is immoral. The moral purpose of life is to achieve rational happiness. Pride is the result of moral virtue. Service to a government or to any cause is proper only on a voluntary basis. Any form of conscription is forced sacrifice and evil. Property is an earned entity. Thus, it can morally belong only to those individuals (or their businesses) who produced the values needed to earn that property. Social science generally has little validity as a science, especially because it usually denies the individual as the prime entity of human life. Populations, societies, and cultures consist of specific individuals. Neo-Tech Advantage #11 SELF-ESTEEM AND THE REWARDS FROM LIFE Happiness of man and woman is not based on sex or pleasure, but on self-esteem. Self-esteem acquired through honesty and productivity is the requisite for romantic love and psychuous pleasures. Within a romantic-love relationship, psychuous sex adds an intensity to human pleasure unattainable elsewhere in life. Psychuous pleasures are the rewards for day-by-day, rational, productive actions. Psychuous pleasures, financial prosperity, romantic love, and long-range happiness are the rewards of a productive, honest life. Self-esteem is a person's estimation of his or her self-worth. Self-esteem is based on the ability to live independently, happily, competently. Self-esteem is dependent on one's effectiveness in dealing with reality. A high level of self-esteem requires a commitment to objectivity and honesty. But objectivity and honesty do not occur automatically. One must constantly work hard to be objective and honest. And one must always work to maintain those qualities or they will slip away. Self-esteem is that emotion of feeling worthy and competent to live in this world -- of feeling in control of life. That feeling depends on having a value-producer orientation or value-destroyer orientation as listed in the following self-evaluation test: SELF-EVALUATION TEST Value-Producer Orientation I earn my livelihood by producing competitive values tradeable in the free market. I am a student gaining knowledge necessary to become a producer of values tradeable in the free market. Value-Destroyer Orientation
I do not earn my livelihood by producing values for others. Instead, I live off of values produced by others. I am a student learning how to manipulate people by using government, religion, or other forms of neocheating and mysticism to usurp a livelihood from the value producers. Orientation for Positive Changes
I will stop living as a usurper and learn to become a producer of competitive values in order to earn my prosperity and achieve happiness. I will withdraw my support from those neocheaters who through direct or indirect force or coercion live off the efforts of others. Neo-Tech Advantage #12 UNJUST CRITICISM AND GUILT
Personal emotions possess an untouchable ownership and privacy. Emotions are subject neither to criticism nor judgment. Only actions can be criticized or judged as right or wrong. Feelings and emotions can have a rational or irrational basis, but they are never "right" or "wrong". Emotions are spontaneous, automatic reactions that are not in the immediate or direct control of a person. No one ever needs to feel guilty about any emotion. A person is responsible only for the actions he or she takes. Those actions include the words that egress from one's mouth (mouth responsibility: what one chooses to go in and out of the mouth determines a person's competence, self-esteem, weight, health, appearance, happiness). Also, since feelings and emotions are often subjective, making moral judgments of others on the basis of one's own personal feelings or emotions is unsound and unfair. For example, most of the negative-judgment vilifications that neocheaters publicly make (especially dishonest journalists and cartoonists) against such great value producers as Jay Gould, John D. Rockefeller, Howard Hughes, and Aristotle Onassis are based primarily on emotions of resentment and envy. In time, the misinformed public begins to accept the neocheaters' mystical-based cancer seeds, their emotional-based judgments, their big-lie assertions -- usually planted throughout the media. The public generally accepts the neocheater's assertions, no matter how groundless, dishonest, unjust. The facts are, however, that individuals like Jay Gould, John D. Rockefeller, Howard Hughes, and Aristotle Onassis were moral men of great integrity. And, they were major producers of values. Indeed, they were major benefactors to mankind whose values will live forever as opposed to those quickly-forgotten malefactors who enviously attacked them. *** Almost all successful businessmen not involved with governments are, by nature, honest in their private and business dealings. Moreover, when those businessmen avoid, evade, even pay off government bureaucrats, politicians, and other neocheaters merely to be left alone in order to keep producing, they are neither dishonest nor immoral. Instead, they are morally trying to protect their capacity to produce values for others. They are meeting their highest responsibility in protecting themselves and others from the immoral force of neocheating "authorities" who live through value destruction. Value producers neither like nor sanction neocheaters, usurpers, plunderers, and other such parasites. But can those value producers say "no" to the neocheating powercrats who threaten them? In the long run, value producers can and must say "no". They must refuse every usurping neocheater if they are to survive. Indeed, most businessmen are innocent heroes struggling to produce competitive values for others despite increasing government coercion, attacks, and usurpations. Contrary to the efforts of the academia and media to make such businessmen appear guilty, the facts are the opposite: government powercrats, politicians, bureaucrats, most lawyers, and many of the media journalists and university professors are the guilty ones. For, they are the neocheaters; they are the ones who are destructive, corrupt, dishonest; they are the ones who exist by deception, force, coercion, dishonesty, fraud. Without the professional mystics and neocheaters, all the corrupt systems of forced regulations, forced mediocrity, fake litigation, destructive taxes, corruption, and wars would not exist. But without the value
producers, civilization itself would not exist. Without those producers, all civilization would perish. Or, by contrast, without mysticism all neocheaters would perish. Everyone else would flourish. Neo-Tech Advantage #13 SENSE OF LIFE A sense of life is an integral part of everyone's subconscious philosophy and psychology. Every person has a fundamental view or sense of life. While usually existing on a subconscious level, a person's sense of life largely determines his or her major actions. Sense of life falls into two opposite categories: 1. An objectively rational, self-interest, benevolent, individualistic sense of life that is characterized by: a. the knowledge that conscious achievement is the highest value. b. the knowledge that the conscious mind is competent to know reality. 2. A mystically irrational, altruistic, malevolent, anti-individual sense of life characterized by: a. the belief that non-man-made values (e.g., nature, the universe, the cosmos) and mystical "values" (e.g., God, the State, society) are superior to man-made values. b. the belief that the conscious mind is incapable of knowing reality. The altruistic, malevolent sense of life finds virtue in sacrificing real, individual values to unreal, mystical "higher" causes such as God, the fatherland, nature, society. That altruistic, malevolent sense of life keeps one from acting in his or her long-range best interest to achieve power, prosperity, and happiness in order to produce competitive values for others. Those competitive values, by nature, require a rational self-interest, pro-individual sense of life combined with effort and honesty. Neo-Tech Advantage #14 SELF-GROWTH VS. SELFLESS VIEW Most productive people subconsciously hold a self-love, pro-individual sense of life. But outwardly they express various selfless views deemed virtuous by theologians, politicians, much of the media and academia, and other altruistic-promoting neocheaters. A major step toward personal prosperity and happiness is to reject all guilt foisted on self and others by mystics and neocheaters. One can easily reject that foisted guilt by discovering the moral virtue of one's own rational, self-growth, pro-individual sense of life that always benefits others and society to the maximum. Also, destructive altruism is easily rejected on understanding that the rational self-growth view is the only benevolent, honest, and beneficial view for conscious beings. By contrast, the irrational, selfless, altruistic views promoted by neocheaters are harmful, malevolent, dishonest views for all conscious beings in any society. ...Both selfless and selfish behaviors are irrational, destructive.[ 4 ] Altruistic selflessness is a prime moral wrong that works to destroy everyone's values, well-being, and happiness. Rational selfishness, on the other hand, is a prime human virtue that works to benefit everyone and society. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes:
[ 4 ] Although the contents of her book, The Virtue of Selfishne ss, are precisely accurate and widely integrated, Ayn Rand committed an error by distorting the word "selfishness" in fashioning a dramatic statement. The word "selfishness" does have valuable, precise denotations of "an irrational, harmful disregard for others". Rand could have strengthened her work by selecting accurate wording such as rational self-growth. Instead, she unnecessarily bent and undermined the precise, valuable meaning of selfishness. ...As with selflessness, selfishness is a form of immature, destructive, irrational behavior -- a form of stupid behavior. Neo-Tech Advantage #15 AVOIDING SACRIFICE An honest value producer can practice altruistic sacrifice, but he does so always at the expense of his own productivity and happiness, while reducing his value to others and society. An altruistic value producer is a psychological contradiction. Such a person represents a personal tragedy who is unnecessarily sacrificing his or her own efficacy, well-being, and happiness to clever neocheaters. On the other hand, professional mystics and neocheaters function by forcing or coercing the producer to sacrifice increasingly larger portions of time, property, and earnings to themselves and other nonproducers. As a result of making "careers" from other people's sacrifices, those value destroyers never learn to exert the honest thought and effort needed to be competitive -- to produce tradeable values required to become happy, independent individuals with genuine prosperity and self-esteem. By their defaults, mystics and neocheaters lose the possibility of earning abiding prosperity and happiness, despite their desperate efforts to feign importance, self-worth, well-being, and happiness. ...With Neo-Tech, one cannot only avoid sacrifice, but can smash the facade of all professional mystics and neocheaters. Neo-Tech Advantage #16 RETAINING HAPPINESS For two-thousand years, altruistic ethics (oriented around the state, society, or God) have been the prime tool of neocheating powercrats (rulers, dictators, politicians, social "intellectuals", theologians). That tool is used to sacrifice the well-being and happiness of value producers to various "higher" causes, such as God, the State, society. Those powercrats apply force and coercion to extract their livelihoods from productive individuals. Neocheating powercrats always operate from behind masks of altruistic higher causes such as fighting wars, fighting drugs, fighting depression, fighting inflation, fighting poverty, fighting pollution, fighting nonbelievers, fighting technology, fighting for the common good, fighting for all sorts of "noble" causes. They do this "fighting" with an air of self-righteousness as they extract their livings from the value producers. Altruistic ethics are always promoted by professional mystics and neocheaters. Those ethics throw into unresolvable contradictions every innocent, productive person who accepts the ethics of sacrifice (altruism). For one cannot achieve happiness through value production by accepting destructive contradictions such as selfsacrifice. Such contradictions diminish and eventually destroy a productive person's capacity for happiness. Yet, any productive person can avoid losing his or her growth and happiness to sacrifice-demanding neocheaters. How? By consciously rejecting their evil ethics of altruism and "higher causes". Neo-Tech Advantage #17 OVERCOMING ALTRUISTIC ETHICS Neo-Tech defines evil as any action designed to physically, intellectually, or emotionally harm human beings. Such is the evil rooted in altruism and related philosophies of sacrifice. Altruistic-rooted evil is sometimes subtle, but is always pervasive and affects all areas of an individual's well-being and happiness.
For example, all nonvalue, "liberated" approaches to sex arise from an altruistic sacrifice of the personal importance and value of sex. After perhaps initial increases in pleasure and "freedom", the longer-range trend for people "liberated" around such altruistic sacrifices is toward impotence and frigidity. Only after repudiating altruistic sacrifice can people discover their full potential for pleasure, passion, and love. The most harmful neocheaters operate through government, religion, public education, and dishonest journalism. Such people must always fake self-esteem to justify their destructive existences. They do that by slyly attacking businesses, their products, and those who through heroic efforts create productive jobs for others (a supreme moral virtue). For, by attacking through the bizarre, inverted ethics of altruism, even the most destructive neocheaters can fake a moral superiority over great producers and their works. Indeed, attacking values is the only way those neocheaters can gain a drug-like relief from their anxieties caused by living destructively. They get relief by destroying values. That destruction gives them a sense of power -- a faked self-esteem needed to survive -- needed to ward off suicide. ...But with Neo-Tech, the value producers finally have a fumigant to rid their lives of mystics and neocheaters. Neo-Tech Advantage #18 BENEFITS AND PLEASURES FROM ROMANTIC LOVE Every relationship can be evaluated in either "good for me" or "bad for me" terms. Love partners, for example, can evaluate their relationship by how much it increases or decreases their well-being and happiness. A sacrifice-free, romantic-love relationship allows both partners to fill their physical, emotional, and intellectual needs without any losses or compromises. Such a relationship provides major personal benefits and increased pleasures from life. And, over the long term, a person can honestly love only those who integrate into a relationship from which benefits and pleasures evolve and grow. Neo-Tech Advantage #19 RELIGIOUS VS. "PLAYBOY" VS. PSYCHUOUS VIEW OF SEX AND LOVE Three basic views of sex and love exist: 1. The religious-procreative view. 2. The recreational-fun-noncommitted view (e.g., the "Playboy" view as partly developed by Hugh Hefner in his Playboy magazine). 3. The psychuous-sex view as developed by the Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts. The contradictions and guilt generated by the religious view of sex make psychuous pleasures and romantic love impossible. Today, the guilt caused by the religious view is more cleverly hidden. Still, that subconscious guilt eventually leads to the same loss of pleasure and happiness. An even more devastating loss evolves from performance anxieties caused by the "Playboy" view coupled with the demands to be a sexy person by someone else's standards. The diminished self-esteem caused by the fun-only "Playboy" view creates anxiety and boredom to steadily diminish sexual pleasures and capacities. That process, if allowed to continue, ends in impotence or frigidity. Much of the impotence in men today is linked to self-esteem problems. Many insecure men who depend on a macho act for pseudo self-esteem collapse into impotence when confronted with healthy, confident, sexually liberated women who see through their act as laughable, immature, childish. ...Even more devastating: macho-type value destroyers
lack self-esteem. Thus, their sex lives decline toward impotence. And once entangled in the Neo-Tech matrix, they lose their sexual potency quickly and permanently. Only the third view, the psychuous-sex view, equates with human nature. Psychuous sex permits growth of mutual values, open-ended happiness, and genuine sexual pleasures for both men and women. But most innocent people subconsciously perceive sex through a combination of those three views. The result is various degrees of satisfaction as the negative effects of the religious and "Playboy" views undermine one's natural, healthy, valueoriented view of sex. Despite the psychological harm the "Playboy" view causes, Hugh Hefner and his Playboy magazine contributed greatly to the well-being of men and women by countering the oppressive guilt of religion and control by government. Moreover, the Playboy Corporation morally defended individual rights related to sexual matters through the Playboy Forum and the Playboy Foundation [Re: Concept 122, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Overall, Playboy magazine has helped lift sexual guilt and repression from millions of human beings. For Playboy magazine editorially reflected the prime moral ethic that everyone has the right to live for his or her own happiness. That benevolent, guiltless view of life has always left Playboy magazine and its founder, Hugh Hefner, open to unjust attack. Such attacks emanate from envious, anti-life losers and neocheating organizations seeking unearned power, including most women's lib organizations such as NOW. Playboy magazine has made major contributions toward lifting sexual guilt and repression by projecting sex as a healthy, pleasurable activity. But, Playboy's values are diminished by its erroneous, "casual-fun" viewpoints on sex, love, and women. Ironically, even the religious view does not diminish one's self-esteem as much as the "Playboy" view over the long term. For most religions do hold sex as serious and important for procreation [Re: Concept 39, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. But the overall effect of religion has been to deprive most human beings of happiness and pleasure they earn. Religion does that through projection of unearned guilt and by wiping out the objective links between morality, pleasure, happiness, value, and sex. Indeed, religion has always striven to deprive the human race of not only its material well-being but of its psychological well-being and happiness [Re: Concept 43, Neo-Tech Encyclopedia]. Many potentially rewarding romantic-love situations are needlessly destroyed either by the religious trap of guilt or by the "Playboy" trap of treating sex as an unimportant, casual-fun activity. Only the Neo-Tech/Psychuous view guiltlessly combines the mind and body to allow men and women to fully experience their earned pleasures, love, and happiness. Neo-Tech Advantage #20 REQUIREMENTS FOR PSYCHUOUS PLEASURES The requirements for psychuous pleasures depend on human biological needs -- on human material, physical, psychological, emotional, and intellectual needs. Since biological needs change only with extremely long-term evolutionary change, the requirements for psychuous pleasures will not basically change for as long as the current human civilization exists. ...Those requirements for psychuous pleasures are: Physical The development of physical awareness is needed to integrate the body, emotions, and intellect into a harmonious conscious being. Contrary to the erroneous religious and "Playboy" views, no separation or dichotomy exists between the mind and body. For, by nature, the mind and body always function as an integrated whole. Psychological and Emotional
The development of self-esteem is needed to feel worthy of pleasure, love, happiness. Intellectual The development of an efficient, rational mind is needed to competitively produce the desirable, tradeable values required for quality survival. *** The Neo-Tech/Psychuous Concepts throughout this manuscript show how one can meet the above requirements. Neo-Tech Advantage #21 PSYCHUOUS PLEASURE VS. SENSUOUS BEHAVIOR Sensuous behavior can increase psychuous pleasures. But since psychuous pleasures involve the whole person in both sexual and nonsexual experiences, those pleasures are not dependent on sensuous behavior. Most individuals can and should increase their sexual attractiveness. But some people reduce their natural sex appeal by faking sensuousness. And disaster results when a psychuously unattractive person (e.g., a professional neocheater, mystic, or any other destructive person) habitually tries to conceal his or her worthlessness or defaults by faking sensuousness. As that person's defaults become harder to hide, the demand for a put-on image (e.g., playboy, evangelist, political or bureaucratic powercrat, jet-setter, machismo) mounts until the image breaks. At that point, the value destroyer's chance for psychuous pleasures and happiness plunge to near zero. Neo-Tech Advantage #22 PSYCHUOUS EXPERIENCES The Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts deliver a rainbow of new, valid ideas that allow a person to dump the mystical ideas of sacrifice and altruism. That dumping of mysticism allows a person to guiltlessly experience psychuous pleasures and prosperity. Moreover, psychuous sex is an intense mind-body experience. Yet, psychuous sex does not always produce intense physical reactions. That would be too exhausting, too demanding, and eventually boring. Psychuous-sex intensity is measured by emotional depth and expression...not by overt physical reactions. Value destroyers often fake pleasures they cannot experience. But the habitual faking of sexual pleasures will cause a malcontentment with sex that leads to impotence or frigidity. On the other hand, value producers can experience continuously growing psychuous pleasures, not only from sex but from all rewarding activities, especially productive work. [Re: Table 4 in Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia traces the development of psychuous pleasures from birth.] Neo-Tech Advantage #23 PSYCHUOUS CAPACITY Capacity for psychuous sex, the most intense human pleasure, always arises from the same base -- from dealing honestly with reality. And that is the same base from which all long-range prosperity and happiness arise. Thus, any action that enhances psychuous sex, prosperity, and long-range happiness is good and healthy. Likewise, any action that diminishes psychuous sex, prosperity, and long-range happiness is bad and unhealthy. That "good for me" or "bad for me" standard can be used to classify any action as good or bad, beneficial or harmful, healthy or unhealthy, moral or immoral. [Re: Concept 10, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia; Table 5, The Sexual Quality Test; Table 6, The Sexual Capacity Test.]
Neo-Tech Advantage #24 OTHER BOOKS VS. NEO-TECH Most people can recall reading inspiring, mind-over-matter, positive-thinking books and articles that offer rules for self-improvement. Generally the inspiration and determination to follow someone else's non-sequitur rules remain for various periods of time...until that person returns to his or her own self and situation. Likewise, reading about rules for improving financial, business, or personal situations versus actual improvement of such situations are two different activities. Nevertheless, gaining knowledge through reading is a prerequisite for most productive achievements. Yet, most "self-improvement" books promote altruistic premises and "mindover-matter" mysticism (e.g., "positive-thinking" approaches). Such approaches are self-defeating. By contrast, Neo-Tech operates on provable premises and self-interest ideas that let anyone achieve permanent advantages, prosperity, and happiness. Specifically, Neo-Tech operates on the premises that the conscious individual is by nature (1) good, (2) the highest value in the universe, and (3) competent to understand and deal with reality. By adopting those premises, one can enjoy guiltless freedom and an immediate advantage over the professional mystics and neocheaters who operate through government and religion. ...By adopting Neo-Tech premises, a person can achieve great prosperity and psychuous pleasures. Neo-Tech Advantage #25 VALUABLE BOOKS Many books about achieving happiness, pleasure, and love contain valid, valuable information. But most such books are slanted toward gaining approval of the establishment media and culturally influential pseudo-intellectuals. Many authors struggle to gain approval of the neocheaters by maligning material achievements and disparaging the potency of the human mind. One must know how to dismiss that "striving for approval" approach in order to glean any useful knowledge and values from those books. But many books can be more damaging than helpful to readers because their authors project major psychological, philosophical, and even physiological errors. Those errors are often subtle and remain undetected by most readers. [Eight of the best selling "sensuous" sex manuals are summarized in Table 11 of Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia. Those books are analyzed in greater detail in Appendix C of the Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia. The first two books on that list, for example, have excellent value and are recommended reading as a supplement to the Psychuous concepts. The next three books are of value, but contain various errors that demand dogmatic adherence to the authors' tastes and standards -- or else, the authors imply, the reader will be guilty of "unsensuous" behavior. The last two books could be harmful to many readers, even fatal.] Some books reflect the authors personal or sexual problems and actually point the way to eventual impotence and frigidity. Major exceptions to such books exist -- such as the books by the farsighted pioneer of modern sexuality, Havelock Ellis (1859 - 1939). Also reflecting sexual health rather than sexual problems or hang-ups are the books of Albert Ellis (although his books fail to recognize the crucial importance of value selectivity). Alex Comfort's books, The Joy of Sex and More Joy, and the O'Neills' book, Open Marriage, also project healthy views recommended for reading as supplements to Psychuous Pleasures. Because of its title, most people erroneously think "Open Marriage" advocates promiscuity or multi-affairs in marriage. But, the opposite is true. In refusing to understand "Open Marriage", the religious mystics remain unknowledgeable. Thus, those mystics are particularly scathing, gossipy, and dishonest in their attacks on the O'Neills and their book. Those dishonest attacks even overwhelmed the O'Neills, causing them to succumb to those value-destroying attacks.
Some books not only harm their readers, but undermine the lives and happiness of those authors who believe and follow their own mystical notions [Re: Table 12, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. But authors who do not believe their own published advice are so deeply dishonest that they quickly wipe out their own self-esteems. On the other hand, honest, valid books can greatly benefit the authors as well as their readers. For example, Havelock Ellis (1859 - 1939) delivered liberating and important values to his readers. But also, his honest work gradually freed Havelock himself from the crippling effects of Christian, anti-sexual ethics. Those ethics dominated his youth and left him sexually inept in adulthood. Paralyzed by masturbation terrors, he remained a virgin until the age of thirty-two when he married. During his twenty-five-year marriage to an overt lesbian, Edith Lees, they seldom engaged in sexual intercourse, although each loved the other dearly. With the help of several mistresses, all of whom apparently loved this handsome and compassionate man, Havelock Ellis finally became a competent lover. Well after his fiftieth birthday, Ellis began to greatly enjoy sexual intercourse. In his late sixties, Ellis reached his sexual zenith in becoming a passionate lover of his beloved mistress, Franoise Laffité-Cyon, with whom he achieved great happiness and sexual fulfillment until his death at eighty years of age. Neo-Tech Advantage #26 HARMFUL BOOKS Erich Fromm's best selling book, The Art of Loving, is among the most subtly damaging pieces of literature since the Bible in undermining human well-being and happiness. For the independent-thinking reader seeking knowledge, however, nearly every well-written book, even dishonest and harmful books, can be valuable for extracting new understandings of either positive or negative views. For example, the reader gains valuable knowledge in discovering that Erich Fromm's central (but initially disguised) theme is that "real love" means loving everyone causelessly and equally. Any discrimination in love is condemned by Fromm as unloving selfishness. That dishonest, egalitarian theme wipes out the objective standards of human values, love, worth, and especially justice. Fromm's false theme implies that no one has to earn love, value, or worth. If the person is your lover, husband, wife or child, that person should have no more of your love and valuation than a beggar in Calcutta, or a Hitler, or a Charles Manson...they all should be valued and loved equally. In other words, according to Fromm's theme, all human beings, regardless of their earned values or characters, should be diminished until they are equal in value to the lowest, meanest, unhappiest human being on this earth. That same destructive, unjust theme is promoted repeatedly by the Bible in both explicit and implicit terms. Albert Schweitzer goes a step further in suggesting that one should love all living entities equally. That means a person's love for one's husband, wife, or child should never exceed the love that person could give to a stranger, or to a tree, a blade of grass, a weed. Indeed, certain Asiatic philosophies take still another step in declaring that all nonliving entities must also have equal love. In other words, the love for one's spouse or child should not exceed the love one could feel for a pebble on the beach. ...Such is the meaning of love to the Fromms, the Schweitzers, the Bible, and other neocheating promoters of egalitarianism and altruism. But an even more malevolent theme has recently developed in the rhetoric and actions of today's neocheating "ecologists" and "environmentalists". They, by using the force of government, place the "well-being" of birds, insects (including mosquitoes), trees, plants, and inanimate "landscapes" above the lives, well-being, and happiness of human beings [Re: Concept 101, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Those anti-human themes are extensions of the altruistic philosophy advanced through books such as the Bible and Fromm's The Art of Loving. And beyond? What does a future of growing egalitarianism and altruism hold? Constant exposure to the increasing atrocities of altruism and egalitarianism gradually numbs people into silently accepting higher and higher levels of injustice, human suffering, crippling of minds, killing, violence, terrorism. Fewer and fewer people object or even
care about those mounting atrocities. Before Neo-Tech, those who consistently upheld individual rights to life and property were fading in both intensity and numbers. In that way, conditions were developing for the ultimate egalitarian end result -- an eventual worldwide, Leninist-style or religious-style slaughterhouse. But Neo-Tech is reversing that trend -- slowly today, rapidly tomorrow. The final egalitarian "purification" is always the mass liquidation of human life. That "purification" starts with the exploitation and then sacrifice of the productive middle class and ends with their physical slaughter. Those who live by honest principles, those who uphold freedom and justice, those who love life, those who will not surrender their minds and lives to others, those who produce the most values for others -- they, as the best, are eliminated first. The mass destruction of the best, the innocent, the virtuous producer of values has been occurring with increasing intensity in various African and Asian countries. And the same would happen throughout the Western world, including the United States, if altruism and egalitarianism grew to their natural conclusions. ...Neo-Tech will prevent that from happening. But, only those holding genuine power -- the value producers -- can cure the disease of altruism. The value producer can stop altruism cold by saying "no" to the sacrificial demands of mystics and neocheaters. Indeed, through Neo-Tech, all value producers can guiltlessly, decisively reject all mysticism, altruism, egalitarianism. When the value producer says "no" to the neocheaters, their mystical hoaxes will become powerless and then crumble. Never again can those neocheaters trick or coerce the value producer into supporting them. The Neo-Tech concepts provide the tools to expunge all professional mystics and neocheaters from our planet forever. Neo-Tech Advantage #27 MYSTICISM AND DESTRUCTION Religions and political systems contradict man's nature because they are based on mysticism and altruism. Those systems require the individual to contradict his or her nature through sacrifice. Under the spell of mysticism, one loses increasing portions of prosperity, life, love, and happiness to various imaginary "higher causes". And such losses are for no real reason except to support those neocheaters who survive by manipulating dishonest, destructive, mystical notions. ...Mysticism contradicts the nature and needs of conscious beings. For, mysticism undermines the capacity for integrated thinking. Thus, mysticism reduces competitiveness, self-esteem, and psychuous pleasures. ...Mysticism leads to incompetence and unhappiness. The more an individual surrenders to mysticism, the more that person becomes incompetent and tries to escape reality. For such a person, life increasingly becomes a source of conflict and pain. To the extent that one accepts mysticism is the extent that a person withdraws from life and loses contact with the pleasures and happiness that life inherently holds. ...All forms of mysticism (from fascism, Marxism, and wars to astrology, occultism, and religion) arise from ignorance, fraud, deceit, and the need to destroy values. Mysticism is perpetuated by neocheaters who must undermine honesty in order to usurp their livings and pseudo self-esteems through value destruction. Such people must disregard or undermine the "burden of proof" concept. For that concept is the protector of honesty. The "burden of proof" concept requires that whoever makes an assertion has the burden to supply objective proof before credibility is granted to that assertion. People who promote mysticism either ignore the "burden of proof" concept or subvert the concept by passing off non sequiturs or specious rationalizations as "proof". In any case, mysticism by nature is the opposite of honesty, rationality, objectivity, reality, and Neo-Tech.
Neo-Tech Advantage #28 WHO CREATED EXISTENCE The questions "Who Created Existence" and "Why of the Universe" are ancient, mind-subverting gimmicks of positing invalid, intellectually untenable questions that have no basis in reality. That false-question maneuver has been used by theologians and other mystics for centuries. The gimmick works by taking an invalid or meaningless idea and then cloaking the idea with specious but profound-sounding phraseology. That phraseology is then used as an "intellectual" prop to advance false, irrational concepts or doctrines. Consider, for example, the "Who Created Existence" and the "Why of the Universe" questions so often used by poets and theologians to advance the God or higher-power concept. On closer examination, one realizes that invalid questions such as "who made the universe" are meaningless and unprofound. For that type of infinite-regression question (of who created the creator and so on back) answers nothing and is anti-intellectual. Such a question cannot or need not be answered once one realizes that existence exists. On realizing that by nature existence simply exists, one then realizes that the "Who Created Existence" and "Why of the Universe" questions cannot or need never be answered because no causal explanations are needed for existence or the universe. Existence is axiomatic. It just exists; it always has and always will exist. Nothing created it and no causal explanation is needed or valid. For, what is the alternative? No alternative is possible or needed, unless one accepts the contradiction that existence does not exist! Neo-Tech Advantage #29 TECHNIQUES OF MYSTICISM Books such as Fromm's "The Art of Loving" established the following technique that most of today's popular, mystical-based books use to gain credibility, public acceptance, and salability: Obviously valid facts and concepts are first presented to capture the interest and confidence of the reader [Re: Concept 36, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Those valid concepts are then woven throughout the false, mystical notions to lend an air of validity to the whole work. Essentially all religious and altruistic doctrines depend on similar techniques of using out-ofcontext facts, non sequiturs, slogans, "truisms", and parables to "validate" their specious doctrines. Cleverly manipulative writers such as Fromm and deceptively manipulative organizations or "modern" churches such as Ron Hubbard's Church of Scientology can be even more dangerous and harmful than the overt, old-time religion or the neurotic, televangelists' born-again approaches. Today, most individuals reject the more obviously vicious, hellfire-and-brimstone aspects of the Bible and "old-time" religion. Still, even the most commonly rejected, blatantly malevolent aspects of the Bible and religions continue to do their damage by infusing subconscious guilt into those trying to live by Judeo-Christian ethics. Similarly, the news media constantly mislead their audiences by using out-of-context facts and non sequiturs to create stories that seem valid, but are not. In that way, the media mystically manufacture "news" that subtly or overtly attacks objective values and their producers.[ 5 ] Constant exposure to propaganda against objective values and heroic producers leaves people increasingly indifferent toward upholding honesty and justice. That mystical-based indifference produces lethargy and ennui not only toward objective values and heroic producers but toward life itself. By manipulating subjective mysticism with dishonest reporting, much of today's neocheating media successfully obscure the value of productive individuals and their benevolent power. That constant obscuring of facts undermines everyone's view of great human achievements such as the automobile, supermarkets, and major technological advances. The persistent attacks against objective human values by politicians, theologians, social "intellectuals", and the media gradually diminish the strength, confidence, and happiness of the productive middle class, leaving them increasingly vulnerable for exploitation by the professional mystics and neocheaters.
Using the techniques of Fromm and the media, many current authors of social literature use rationalizations, specious cliches, non sequiturs, concrete-bound specifics taken out of context, and guilt-inducing half-truths to manipulate the middle-class producers into sacrificing their self-interests to an array of "higher" causes. [Table 13 in the Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia shows how such mystical-based books harm an individual's well-being and happiness. Table 14 compares techniques used by authors of destructive books to techniques used by authors of books that deliver objective values.] Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 5 ] Despite the dishonesty and hypocrisy widely practiced by much of the news media, no government controls or regulations should ever be placed against the press or the communication media. Moreover, any possible form of control or regulation against any communication (written, visual, or oral) should be permanently abolished. Neo-Tech Advantage #30 THE GOD CONCEPT -- A TOOL OF DESTRUCTION The God concept and all religions are products of mysticism. Mysticism is the opposite of honesty and reason. Mysticism underlies all volitionally destructive actions. Mysticism undermines the capacity for independent, integrated thinking and reasoning, which is the survival tool for all human beings. ...The mystical-oriented mind is the basis of the criminal-like mind, which is the exact opposite of the business-like mind. For two-thousand years, the God concept has been the most effective tool of the professional mystics and neocheaters for usurping a material and psychological living from the value producers. The God concept is such an effective tool because it manipulates major thinking defaults into convenient well-organized packages of specious "truths". Professional value destroyers can with relative ease use various God-concept frauds to deceive or cajole innocent producers into sacrificing their earned values to them, the nonproducers. Most Godconcept frauds promote the "virtues" of humility, altruism, egalitarianism, selflessness, "higher" causes, and sacrifice. Such specious "virtues" are designed to generate guilt for lowering the self-esteem of producers to the level of the nonproducer. Once burdened with false guilt, the producers will more readily hand over or sacrifice their earned values to the nonproducers. Throughout history, the many God-concept variations have provided professional mystics and neocheaters with effective tools for extracting a living from the value producer.[ 6 ] For survival, value destroyers depend on the producer to sacrifice his or her created or earned values to them. They also extract values through government force and coercion. ...All professional mystics and neocheaters rely on the unearned guilt foisted on producers through various altruistic or God-concept hoaxes to extract material and psychological "livings" from value producers. The God concept, religion, and mysticism are also the tools needed to establish totalitarian dictatorships, including both theistic and "atheistic" dictatorships.[ 7 ] Russia, for example, was the most religious, mystical country in Europe during the early 1900s. That heavy mysticism provided an ideal psychological setup for the acceptance of perhaps the most destructive and irrational, mystical-based political system in history -- Marxism/Leninism. Acceptance of an irrational, Kantian-based philosophy such as Marxism was needed to negate objective values and individual rights, to rationalize the enslavement of entire nations, to slaughter millions of productive human beings
for a meaningless, mystical higher "authority" -- the state. ...Thus, the God-concept tools of altruism and mysticism are needed not only to establish the murderous religious regimes of an Ayatollah-led Iran but the murderous "atheistic" regimes of a dictator-led Soviet Union and Red China. Stalin, Mao, and their neocheating colleagues used various altruistic, God-concept tools to justify slaughtering millions of innocent, middle-class producers in the name of a higher "good". And what is always the reason for such mass destruction and slaughter? Always for no other reason than to build personal false power and bogus jobs. No other reason ever exists. In order to live, the value destroyer must usurp values created by the value producer. That dependence deprives the usurper of self-esteem, leaving him resentful and envious toward value producers. Such feelings of worthlessness, resentment, and envy can build until the usurper would subconsciously just as soon be dead. Out of such resentment and envy, that person would like to drag everyone else to the grave with him, especially the value producers. Indeed, that is what happens when totalitarian leaders assume power. Out of envy and hatred, they eventually destroy themselves and anyone else they can destroy. Stalin, Hitler, and Mao, for example, were personally responsible for staggering property destruction while systematically slaughtering many millions of innocent, productive human beings. Castro, as another example, publicly stated that he, an ex-lawyer who had never produced or earned competitive values, would like to drop a nuclear bomb on New York City, destroying the greatest concentration of earned, man-made values on this planet. Such mass destruction would help prop his pseudo self-esteem by making him feel big and important. But, in fact, he has never been more than a destructive pip-squeak and mass murderer. ...All mass murderers throughout history required the tools of altruism and mysticism to rationalize their purposeful destruction of values and life. In literature and in other forms of communication, dealing with the God concept falls into four categories [Re: Table 15, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. The first three categories involve the harmful promotion of the God concept and other mystical frauds. The fourth category involves the beneficial undermining of the God-concept and other mystical frauds. Neo-Tech falls into the fourth category in identifying the route to guiltless prosperity and happiness. Neo-Tech Advantage #31 ASTROLOGY, UFOS, AND OTHER MYTHS As with all forms of mysticism, acceptance of myths varying from astrology and UFOs to religion and the God concept cripples a person's thinking and integration processes. Indeed, crippled thinking and integration processes undermine a person's personal power, productive competence, financial well-being, psychuous pleasures, and long-range happiness. Many popular myths depend on proclaimed "scientific" evidence to create illusions of credibility. Astrology devotees promote the "scientific" notion that the infinitesimally faint celestial forces that impinge on human beings affect and influence their minds, actions, behavior, and destiny. As "proof", for example, they state how the gravitational forces of the moon cause the oceanic tides. But facts and logic show that man alone controls his own destiny. And his mind can easily override all the forces of nature combined [Re: Table 7, Concept 22, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Indeed, in a free society, the conscious mind is a much stronger controller of an individual's future than all the overt, direct forces of nature, government, and religion combined. A person's own choices, not his environment, control his or her destiny. Except for natural catastrophe or bruteforce totalitarianism, the forces of nature and social environment when pitted against the rational conscious mind have little or no influence over that individual's long-range future.
For a person to allow his future to be influenced by even the most direct and powerful forces of nature (such as the weather, the wind, the rain) would be to relegate the potency of his or her mind and actions to a low position indeed. But to assert, as astrologers do, that the faintest forces in nature (the celestial forces from outer space) can influence human beings and their minds is to relegate the human mind to a most inept position. To view the human mind as being that feeble or impotent, even though the view may be only subconscious or implicit, undermines a person's confidence and self-esteem. And, more serious is what happens to the confidence and selfesteem of those who let themselves be controlled or influenced by nonexistent forces, such as the God myth. Many people erroneously believe that the governmental and religious forces surrounding them are more powerful than they. With the destruction that those forces have always inflicted on mankind, such an attitude is understandable, but invalid. Government and religious forces, while always exerting destructive influences, need not be the controlling forces on any individual's present or future. By using the mind and acting on reason, a person can usually avoid or minimize the effect of government and religion on his or her personal self in order to live independently, productively, and happily. Direct forces of government, religion, or even nature (e.g., earthquakes, floods, tornadoes) can at times have devastating effects on any individual. The government can confiscate or plunder a person's property. The government can jail or kill innocent people. Religion can destroy a person's mind or happiness. The church will also torture and kill masses of innocent people whenever it holds direct political power (e.g., Dark Ages, Inquisitions, Jonestown, Ayatollah Iran, Witch Trials, crusades). But none of those potential or real forces basically control human lives or destiny. The human mind, along with the choices made through an individual's life, controls the life and future of a productive person (unless government or religious forces directly cripple or destroy that person). *** Accepting "scientific" myths such as UFOs (unidentified flying objects from intelligent outer space) will diminish a person's self-esteem and reduce that person's capacity for psychuous pleasures and happiness. As with astrology (and with ESP, PK, and other forms of "scientific" mysticism[ 8 ]), the outer-space UFO advocate must first establish a scientific-sounding base to create an illusion of credibility. Such a basis for UFOs is accomplished by taking out of context the valid hypothesis that millions of Earth-like planets exist in outer space in which advanced civilizations of living beings have developed technology far beyond our own civilization [Re: F. R. Wallace, "We the Creators of All Heavens and Earths", I & O Publishing]. And many of those civilizations most certainly would be capable of communicating or even journeying across many light years to reach Earth. For conscious beings in such advanced civilizations would have achieved biological immortality long ago. The above hypotheses are statistically valid and almost certainly factual. From statistical considerations, many millions or billions of Earth-like planets with intelligent civilizations do exist throughout the universe. Many of those civilizations existing far in advance of our own are certainly capable of contacting Earth. Yet, logic and statistics dictate that such civilizations would not contact Earth. The main reason for believing that no outside civilization has ever contacted earth is that no one has found any hard evidence that even suggests intelligent beings from outer space have ever contacted Earth. All claims of evidence to date have been spurious, false, or scientifically unsound. If intelligent beings from outer space ever had contacted Earth, the evidence would have been immediately and spectacularly conclusive. For example, consider the highly advanced artifacts that would be left behind by any mystic-free civilization capable of developing the energy and technology required to contact Earth. Indeed, many highly advanced civilizations throughout outer space certainly have the technological capacity to contact and travel to Earth. But the following logic indicates none would contact Earth: The technological advance
of any civilization can be measured by the amount of energy harnessable by that civilization. Energy capacity is a direct measure of scientific knowledge and technological development. The energy requirements for outer space communication and travel are far beyond the total energy capacity available on earth at our present level of technology. Thus, a civilization capable of contacting earth would have to be advanced far beyond our civilization. That would mean that any such civilization would be well past the Nuclear-Decision Threshold [Re: Table 51, concept 116 of the Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. That threshold is the point that every advanced civilization must successfully pass through to survive. Our civilization is at that point today. The Nuclear-Decision Threshold is the point at which energy, knowledge, and technology have advanced to where sufficient, man-made energy (e.g., nuclear energy) can be generated to physically destroy all life on the planet. From that point, all civilizations must follow one of two courses: (1) Proceed in an irrational, altruistic, Platonistic philosophical system in which initiatory force compels others to support mystical "higher" causes that feed the bogus livelihoods of neocheaters. Such systems will eventually lead either to all-out nuclear warfare[ 9 ] or to a retreat into an anti-technological Dark Ages in which most knowledge and technology are lost. In either case, most of the world's population will die and civilization will perish because of meaningless mysticism being manipulated to give false power and bogus livelihoods to the value destroyers. (2) Proceed in (or change to) a rational, business-like, Aristotelian philosophical system in which initiatory force plays no role. Such a system allows civilization to safely advance beyond the Nuclear-Decision Threshold. Thus, any civilization advancing significantly beyond that threshold would by nature exist within a rational Aristotelian/Neo-Tech society. That in turn would mean a free-market business society from which initiatory force is eradicated as uncompetitive, impotent, and immoral. In any such advanced society, all forms of mysticism would by nature have been discredited and discarded as stupid and destructive. Such a business-minded society would be free of politicians, theologians, neocheaters, coercive governments, and other usurpers and parasites. Actions would be based on reality-oriented logic exercised by free individuals harmoniously, competitively living in accord with their rational best interests. In such an advanced society, no logical reason would exist and no apparent benefits could accrue by expending the excessive time and energy required to contact Earth or similar, outer-space civilizations. Such an undertaking would not be scientifically interesting or profitable for a civilization so far advanced in knowledge and technology. In other words, as a civilization approaches a technological stage so advanced that other civilizations could be contacted, then the need, interest, and benefits to do so would cease. All such societies would by nature exist within Neo-Tech, rational, self-interest cultures. All individuals in such societies could fill all of their physical needs, psychological needs, and growth needs within a practical sphere of space (although capable of reaching any point farther into outer space). Moreover, such advanced civilizations would have access to the interstellar computer system most certainly present throughout the universe. Throughout that computer system, all important knowledge would be organized and available for exchange among all advanced, Neo-Tech civilizations -perhaps through an oscillating, gravity-coded system. In summary, probably thousands or millions of highly advanced civilizations exist in outer space that have the technological capacity to contact Earth. But being nonaltruistic, business-minded societies, they would have no logical motive or incentive to expend the time and energy to do so.[ 10 ] For our own civilization to advance significantly beyond our current Nuclear-Decision Threshold would require a shift from the current Platonistic/altruistic philosophical base to a Aristotelian/Neo-Tech philosophical base [Re: Table 51 in Concept 116, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia].
Paradoxically, at our current level of civilization, we can gain considerable economic, technological, and scientific benefits from investigating outer space and exploring our solar system and beyond. And, on switching to a rational Neo-Tech society, our civilization will advance significantly beyond the Nuclear-Decision Threshold. Then our knowledge, technology, and well-being will advance so rapidly and far that when our energy capacity reaches the potential for contacting civilizations in far outer space, the logical reasons or incentives for such contact (economic, social, scientific) will fade. For, within a Neo-Tech society of self-ruling individuals, the potential of each individual can be fully realized. And that unrealized potential of conscious beings represents the total creative power available throughout the universe. On meeting that potential, nothing further out in space is required, especially after business-driven scientists learn to access the interstellar computer available throughout the universe. The answer, therefore, to the outer-space UFO question reduces to: 1. Probably many highly advanced civilizations exist throughout space that currently have the capacity to contact and even travel to Earth. 2. No valid, scientific evidence has ever been found that suggests intelligent, outer-space communication or visitation has ever occurred on Earth. 3. Logic indicates that advanced civilizations with the energy technology to contact Earth would not do so because there would be no economic, social, or scientific incentive to do so. For, once an advanced civilization has dug well-defined holes into space by exploring, understanding, and exploiting those areas, the need and incentive to dig more and more holes, deeper and deeper into space at greater and greater costs steadily diminish to zero. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 8 ] Most forms of "scientific" mysticism reflect wishful desires to discover outside forces or "authorities" to take over the thinking tasks of the human mind. The mystic's wish is to be automatically and effortlessly guided to knowledge and through life by external forces. But no effortless guide exists. No outside force can take over and do what the mind and the individual must do for him or her self. Consider the president of the United States following the stupidity of astrology. Or consider the government of the U.S.S.R. directing funds for "research" efforts in ESP, psychokinesis, PK, and other pseudosciences: Indeed, through such mystical stupidities, the intellectual impotence of those governments and their leaders is revealed. In reality, such governments are goofy and their leaders are clowns. ...They are already being laughed out of existence through Neo-Tech competition. [ 9 ] Ironically, the unilateral peace and disarmament movements are not only dishonest, mystical, and usually promoted by professional mystics and neocheaters, but they are the very forces that move the world toward nuclear annihilation. By contrast, a well-prepared, rational society can effectively protect itself against nuclear war as well as prosper into the future. For, a prime moral obligation is self-protection. Thus, the development of an effective SDI or "Star-Wars" defense system is the most rational, moral act any country could perform in protecting its citizens and their property. (Also, see Neo-Tech Advantage #110 for the profound right to selfdefense.)
[ 10 ] Perhaps the only rational motive for an advanced civilization to communicate much beyond their immediate star system would be the pending death of their primary energy source -- their sun -- via an explosion-type burnout. Those beings would probably explore and colonize planets in nearby solar systems. The positions of stars in our own Milky-Way galaxy are constantly shifting relative to each other. Thus, our planet could at times become a "nearby" star system (e.g., less than a hundred light years) to a highly advanced civilization that must abandon its own solar system because of an impending solar explosion or other catastrophe. In such a case, our planet could become the object of exploration and even colonization from outer space. Statistically, however, such a combination of events would be extremely unlikely. Neo-Tech Advantage #32 EXISTENTIALISM AND ITS INFLUENCE A dominant form of mysticism and Platonistic philosophy in Western civilization is existentialism and its many disguised variations such as Gestaltism, transcendental meditation, Zen Buddhism. Existentialism is really nothing more than clever irrationalism and contradictions that heralds Kierkegaard's "individual responsibility" while negating genuine self-responsibility. Moreover, cloaked in pragmatic non sequiturs or good-sounding rationalizations, existentialism claims that reality does not exist. Thus, the meaning of existentialism is impossible to objectively define or understand. For existentialism is nothing. And nothing can be attached to nothing. Expressed in countless ways, existentialism is the philosophical form projected by (1) most media commentators, (2) almost all politicians and theologians, (3) neocheating social "intellectuals", including many teachers, university professors, and (4) know-nothing personalities and entertainers acting as "authorities" on the basis of feeling rather than knowledge. In the past several decades, those four groups of people have effectively spread existentialism among the nonproductive elements of society. More recently, those same groups are successfully pushing existentialism onto the working middle class. As a result, the productivity, self-esteem, and happiness among the productive middle class is diminishing as value producers increasingly swap their earned happiness and freedom for the existentialistic ideas of mysticism, egalitarianism, and altruism. Their ultimate negation of self-responsibility and self-control opens the way for increasing government control of their lives.[ 11 ] Many people are drawn into the chameleon-like forms of existentialism through an assortment of highly publicized, illusionary benefits designed to indulge almost anyone's emotions to escape reality. Touted benefits include discovering "real truth", "peace of mind", "happiness", new "freedoms", "self-awareness", increased "sensitivity", "discovery" of one's true self, and a wide variety of health and nutritional "benefits". Other benefits touted by groups such as Scientologists include various mystical routes to "freedom" and "happiness" through self-awareness via clearing hang-ups or engrams [Re: Concept 39, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. But beneath all such jargon and claimed benefits, existentialism is nothing more than a wimpish irrationality that promotes stupidity. ...Indeed, existentialism promotes the negation of reality. [Re: Table 16, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia defines existentialism and identifies some of its manifestations being thrust onto the productive middle class by mystics, politicians, and other neocheaters.] Existentialism and religion both grow from mysticism. And both lead to the oppression of the individual. Existentialism and religion both reflect fear of the independent individual and even greater fear of individual pride. Most mystics denounce pride as negative, bad, or sinful. But, individual pride is the result of moral virtue, which requires the rejection of the dishonesty inherent in mysticism.
Pride is the reflection of self-worth, which requires the rejection of mysticism. And that rejection of mysticism through the reflection of self-worth is what all mystics, existentialists, and neocheaters fear and attack. For, if all value producers recognized their genuine self-worth and felt their earned pride, they would reject mysticism to end the hoax of all neocheaters. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 11 ] Government control always means the control of individuals by force. Communism, fascism, socialism, and democracy are political systems that survive by force. Democracy, however, is generally less destructive or less malevolent than the other three systems of oppression. All four political systems operate on the same neocheating concepts of external "authority" and unearned power backed by "legalized" force. Moreover, all four systems require Platonistic, existentialist philosophies for the value destroyers to usurp bogus livings from the value producers. Contrary to popular myth, democracy is rooted neither in justice nor in the protection of individual rights, but is rooted in the uncompetitive principle of "authorities" with power to force the deemed "will" of the majority onto specific individuals. (The United States was not founded as a democracy, but as a republic based on constitutional law forged between democratic myths and free-choice, competitive-market principles. Today, most of the remaining nonforce, free-choice, competitive elements of freedom in the United States are being replaced with uncompetitive fascist or socialistic elements of force.) A business-like, free-choice, competitive system is the only political system based on logic, justice, growth, and earned values rather than on feelings, force, stagnation, and usurpation of values. Of all political systems, only the nonforce, free-choice competitive system rejects the concept of uncompetitive "authority" system of force, threat of force, and fraud. And only competitive, free markets fully recognize the sovereignty of the individual and the right to his or her own body, life, and earned property. ...All professional mystics and value-destroying neocheaters hate and fear free-choice competition. Why? Because free-choice competition would drive them from their dishonest careers and bogus livelihoods. Neo-Tech Advantage #33 THE SEVENTEEN-HUNDRED-YEAR OPPRESSION OF HUMAN HAPPINESS About 300 A.D., Christian theologians discovered the ultimate neocheating technique to control human beings. That technique was to link guilt with sex [Re: Section Four Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. With that technique, the Christian church rose to its height in power, causing Western civilization to crumble into the mystical Dark Ages as human well-being and happiness sank to the lowest level in recorded history. The history of Christian oppression of individual life, rights, values, happiness, pleasure, and sexuality is outlined on the following pages: CHRISTIAN OPPRESSION OF HAPPINESS (from research by Morton M. Hunt and others) 100 A.D. - 385 A.D. Roman Empire still appeared vibrant, but was surrendering to a new religion...Christianity. Rome plunged into altruism and asceticism.
Roman pagans began persecuting those Christians who became altruistic fanatics and used any means to meet their goals of destroying the life-enhancing and productive aspects of Roman civilization. Those neocheating Christian leaders had the dual objective of wiping out the pleasures of human life as well as destroying the high standard of living enjoyed by the Romans. The early Christians heroically formed tightly-knit anarchist groups for effective protection from the oppression of the bureaucratic Roman government while laying the foundations for their own much greater oppressions. 385 A.D. - 1000 A.D. The rise of the unkempt ascetics (hippies) in Egypt. Based on Christian self-torture and denial (e.g., St. Simon). Christianity discovered a fast, neocheating route to power -- the foisting of guilt onto innocent value producers. As an effective rallying symbol, they found and elevated to martyr-level status an obscure historical individual who died three centuries earlier. That individual ironically was a gentle, appealing rebel who heroically stood up to the injustices of the parasitical-elite authorities -- the same type authorities who three centuries later usurped and mystified him for their own dishonest exploitation. That individual, their new symbol, was named Jesus Christ. ...Jesus has been done a rank injustice by the Catholic church. Christians became increasingly preoccupied with sex as they struggled against lust (e.g., by burning off fingers to resist temptation). Thinly veiled, neurotic eroticism steadily increased within the church. St. Augustine (born 354 A.D.) promoted guilt through his books: (1) Confessions -- self-accusations of his pagan, lustful youth. He converted to a Christian in 386 A.D., then gained power through neocheating by hatefully using guilt to turn the goodness and pleasures of man against himself. Promulgated how all are born between feces and urine. (2)The City of God -- his major work -- speculates how babies might be born from women "uncankered by lust and sex". Demonstrates passionate hatred for human life. St. Augustine became a master neocheater in achieving respect and power by making problems where none existed. He destroyed values rather than create them. By the 5th Century, marriage came under church domination. The decline into dark ages coincided with the rise of Christianity. Collapsing under the Christian stranglehold, 6th Century Rome was repeatedly ravaged and looted. One million population was reduced to fifty thousand. The city lay in rubble and ruins. The Senate ceased for lack of qualified men. The hygiene, science, and culture of Rome was abandoned as Christianity took hold. By 585 A.D., Catholics argued that women did not have mortal souls and debated if women were even human beings. Sex was reduced by Christianity to an unromantic, harsh, ugly act with penance easily and hypocritically granted to men whenever required. Women became pieces of disposable property. Clergy and popes turned to prostitutes and neurotic sex. (e.g., The Pope of 904 A.D. practiced incest and was a lecher with children). By the 9th Century, Christianity dominated. Women were considered property of men. The church sanctioned wife-beating. Men were merely fined by the church for killing women. For the Catholic clergy, sex without values (e.g., prostitute sex, orgy sex, even forced rape or sadistic sex) was not a serious offense, but sex with values (e.g., loving or valuing a woman) was a high sin with severe penalties. For, love and valuing resist control by "authorities", therefore, had to be squelched. St. Jerome stated that he who too ardently loved his wife was an adulterer.
Christian marital sex was performed only in one position and then only to conceive a child. Sex was never to be performed during penance nor on Sundays, Wednesdays, Fridays, holiday seasons. The major Christian sin was not sex, but pleasure. 1000 A.D. - 1500 A.D. Courtly love reflected happiness and contradicted the malevolence of religion. Churchmen feared and fought courtly love (e.g., St. Thomas stated that to kiss and touch a woman with delight, even without thought of fornication, was a mortal sin). The struggle was between oppressive religion and renaissance free thinking. Also, the struggle was between papal power and the new Aristotelian ideas. In the 1300s, an ominous new interest in witchcraft and exorcism began appearing in the church. Priests fulminated about the evil powers of women who formed sex pacts with the Devil. By 1450, the dichotomy was complete and the dogma was established by the Catholic church that all physically desirable women were evil witches. The church was losing its power, and demonizing women was their means to fight the rediscovering of human joyfulness brought on by the emerging Renaissance. Renaissance noblemen in the 15th Century equated beauty to good. To counter this trend toward good and beauty, the church attacked through the Pope. The Catholic church developed a new breed of neocheating malefactors not known before...the inquisitors who were backed by a series of papal pronouncements and bulls. The Pope set up two theologians (Jacob Sprenger and Henry Kramer) to act as inquisitors. Sprenger and Kramer wrote a widely influential book dealing with the "evils" of women and witchcraft. That led to the burning to death of tens of thousands of innocent women during the Renaissance. Crosscurrents and contradictions -- the "lady ideal" projected by the happy, benevolent spirit of the Renaissance versus the "evil witch" projected by the unhappy, malevolent spirit of the church. King Henry VIII was the first major figure to combine love and marriage. He waged a long battle with Bishop Wolsey and Pope Clement VII about his divorce and subsequent marriage to Anne Boleyn. Renaissance enlightenment made sex seem not so sinful and disgusting as the church insisted. The middle class began to associate sex with love. 1500 - 1700 The Reformation combined with the enlightened Renaissance by considering sex in marriage as wholesome and free of guilt. But the malevolent Christian position continued to burn women as witches. Martin Luther battled Catholic asceticism by advocating the enjoyment of every pleasure that was not "sinful". Luther lived in a lusty "eat, drink, and be merry" style. He fought Rome and claimed that celibacy was invented by the Devil. He insisted that priests could marry and asserted that marriage was not a sacrament at all, but a civil matter. Luther asserted that sexual impulses were both natural and irrepressible. He broke from Rome and married. He cheerfully loved his wife and held pleasurable sex in marriage as good. Luther's reformation rapidly spread across Northern Europe. John Calvin (the father of the Bluenoses) was the opposite of Martin Luther. Calvin was sour, malevolent, and had a ferocious theology based on human depravity and the wrath of God. He was an unhappy ascetic who had ulcers, tuberculosis, and kidney stones; he considered life of little value. Calvin set up a brutally strict theocracy in Geneva that allowed no dancing, fancy clothes, or jewelry. The death penalty was imposed for adultery. Even legitimate love was stringently regulated. Engagements were limited to six
weeks. No lingering at romance was allowed. Weddings were grave with no revelry. The Calvinist marriage had two functions: (1) to produce children, and (2) to reduce sexual desires. Most Puritans, however, were quite unlike the inhuman joylessness of Calvin. But a few vocal fanatics such as John Knox in the United States continued to pile misery onto others. His Blue laws of the 1650s were against amusements, smoking, drinking, gambling, fancy clothing. He also promoted public whippings, scarlet letters, executions for adulterers, and the Salem "witch" executions (executed 26 women and two dogs in 1692). Early Puritan traits were mainly stern expressions masking mischief and romance. Church trial records show much "sinning" existed. But only sex outside marriage was attacked. Puritans were very much for sex inside marriage and condemned the virtue-of-virginity concept. Most Puritans were tenderly romantic and good lovers. The image of the sexless Puritan with a stony heart is false. For example, the 17th Century Puritan John Milton (Paradise Lost) projected a healthy view of married sex. He displayed idealistic, romantic views about marriage. Moreover, Milton sent tracts to Parliament urging modern-day, easy divorce. Milton's Paradise Lost projects a benevolent view of Adam and Eve in a romantic-love context. Milton rejected St. Augustine's malevolent views of life, sex, and pleasure. 16th Century Puritans combined the ideals of romantic love with the normality of sex in marriage. Woman's status improved under Puritanism (e.g., if beaten, women could separate and even divorce.). Property rights and inheritance laws improved. Marriage became a civil contract. 1700 - 1800 The rationalists in this new Age of Reason rejected the gloom of Christianity. They scrapped the church's portrait of woman as evil. 18th Century love rejected Christian anti-sexual values and idealized the mythical Don Juan, who was impeccably mannered, lustful, haughty. Love was reduced to mere sensuality and pleasurable sport with the motive to seduce and then desert. 1800 - 1900 Religious Victorian men, on the other hand, were patriarchal and stern. But they played that role at their own sexual expense. Out of religious Victorianism arose a great hunger for a fantasy sex life. Flagellation, pornography, and prostitution rapidly increased. Capitalistic economics were greatly accelerating the dissolution of medieval religious ties along with their unjust social customs and racism. The religious Victorian home was threatened by talk of female suffrage, divorce reforms, and free love. Victorianism was a reactionary, desperate delaying action (in collusion with the church) against the inevitable changes made by an emerging industrial civilization. Religion-oriented Victorians tried to fight change via religious coercion, government force, and police activities. 1900 - 1950 Margaret Sanger staged a historic fight for birth control claiming that a woman's body belonged to her alone. She published birth-control information in 1914 and opened birth-control clinics in 1916. Outraged Roman Catholic elements had her arrested and jailed. 1950 - 1980
Modern sexual revolution toward openness and honesty has caused the church's malevolent influence over sexuality to wane. In a last desperate effort, "modern" and new-wave churches evolved that adopted existentialist and fun views of sex in order to diminish the value and importance of sex. Thus, those churches kept control by undercutting people's self-esteem. Without self-esteem, one cannot experience abiding happiness or psychuous pleasures. Without self-esteem, a person will continue to be controlled by neocheaters using the tools of mysticism. 1980 - PRESENT An ominous rise of overt mysticism, born-again Christianity, and fundamentalist religions signal a turn back toward malevolent views of life, love, and sex. A revival of fundamentalism and theocratic concepts are conditions ultimately sought by all mystical leaders. No matter what deceptive facades they present, all mystical leaders are destructive neocheaters who ultimately want to reign with murderous power. But today, for the first time in history, mysticism and neocheating are being irreversibly undermined by the spreading Neo-Tech matrix. Neo-Tech Advantage #34 AESTHETIC PLEASURE The aesthetics (art, music, drama, and literature) are rational pursuits that add important increments of emotional fuel and psychuous pleasures to a person's life. Moreover, aesthetic pleasures are important to the growth of one's psychological and spiritual[ 12 ] well-being. Aesthetics reflect a person's most important values in a concrete way, providing powerful emotional fuel to seek ever greater personal growth and achievements. A false but common belief is that a person's response to art (music, literature, fine arts, performing arts) is a mystical experience that has no basis in reality and serves no practical purpose. But the opposite is true. A positive response to art is a phenomenon of reality that reflects a person's deepest, most important values. Those values can be either objective or neurotic values. For example, destructive people can respond positively to art that reflects neurotic values, nonvalues, or even value destruction. Another false belief is that art is entirely subjective and cannot be evaluated on an objective basis. With sufficient knowledge, all art can be judged by precise, objective standards. Objective evaluation can include sense of life, the theme expressed by the artist, execution skill, overt style, presentation integrity. Psychological pleasure derived from an art work comes from the similarity of the artist's values and sense of life to one's own values. Admiration of an art work, on the other hand, comes from the viewer's evaluation of the artist's skill, style, and integrity. An individual can dislike the values, the sense of life, or the theme of an art work, but can admire the artist's skill or style. One dominant myth propagates that most great, universal artists (i.e., composers, painters, sculptors, novelists) lived in poverty and were not recognized during their lifetimes. Indeed, that myth serves as a handy excuse for pseudo, dilettante, or government-sponsored "artists" who never put forth the great learning, training, and execution efforts needed to develop the ability to produce works of art saleable in free markets. With few exceptions, most universally enduring artists throughout history were fully recognized during their lifetimes, often early in their careers. Most great, objectively creative artists collected and enjoyed their earned financial and emotional rewards throughout much of their professional lives. Their work was objectively valuable and recognized as such, making their products highly marketable not only in their lifetimes but throughout the ages. Furthermore, the objective value of an artist's work is almost always in direct proportion to the rational thought and effort that artist put into developing and executing his skill. ...Success as the result of being naturally gifted or of being lucky is a myth promoted by envious mystics, neocheaters, and other losers.
Still another myth about art is that if a person dislikes a work of art, then the person does not understand the work. In most cases, if a person does not like or enjoy a work of art, the work is either (1) poorly executed or (2) contradicts that person's inner values. And a final misconception is that poetry is an art form that enhances love and the quality of one's life. Poetry is generally an invalid art form that can be destructive to romantic love, prosperity, and long-range happiness [Re: Concept 136, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia; also see Neo-Tech Advantage 104 in this volume]. As a concluding note: Since art can reflect powerfully emotional values to the beholder, art can be loved, appreciated, and enjoyed for those values. The art work itself, however, is an extension of the artist and thus can never be spiritually possessed or owned by anyone else, even though the physical ownership and copyrights can be transferred or sold. Neo-Tech Advantage #35 VALUE OF EMOTIONS Emotions and feelings are among a person's most valuable assets. All pleasure and happiness are experienced through emotions. And the final moral purpose of all human life is rational happiness. Moreover, negative emotions are reliable warning signals that a person is acting mystically or contrary to one's nature, well-being, and happiness. Emotions deliver the ultimate human rewards and penalties. Such emotions depend on the life a person chooses to create and live. A person's emotional content will be either happy or unhappy, depending on the extent which that person has rejected or accepted mysticism. Rejecting mysticism means accepting sole responsibility for understanding and dealing honestly with reality. A person must reject mysticism to effectively perceive and integrate reality -- to effectively solve problems of growth and develop the competence needed to earn prosperity, power, and love. That, in turn, delivers the self-esteem and emotional content needed to experience abiding well-being, psychuous pleasures, and romantic love. ...Everyone controls his or her wide-range emotions (i.e., being fundamentally happy or unhappy) through one's constant, volitional choice to be honest or dishonest -to act through business-like thinking or through mystical thinking. Human pleasures and happiness are experienced by sensory and emotional means. To fully experience pleasure and happiness, a person must develop an integrated awareness of emotions along with a mystic-free, guiltless acceptance of those emotions. But first, a person must solidly establish the psychological, philosophical, and productivity positions to provide the self-esteem necessary for romantic love and psychuous pleasures. Then that person must reject mystical guilt to fully experience his or her earned emotions of happiness, pleasure, love. Happiness, pleasure, and love can be experienced only through emotions. To the extent that a person represses emotions[ 13 ] is the extent that the person denies that part of reality needed to experience earned pleasures and happiness -- which is the moral purpose of human life. The human organism must experience emotions in order to psychologically live. If a person continually diminishes self-awareness or represses emotions, that person will steadily lessen his or her capacity to feel emotions. To compensate for that deadening of feelings (thus a deadening of life), that person must take increasingly stronger measures to feel something until the only feeling left to feel is pain. But that person must feel something, so he or she strives to feel pain. And the easiest, quickest route to feel pain is through destructive actions rationalized through mysticism. Also, as a person diminishes his or her awareness and integration capacities, the initiation of longer range, positive actions becomes increasingly difficult. At the same time, that person increasingly succumbs to mysticism in selecting more and more destructive actions in order to feel something. Destructive actions taken to feel
something include manipulating others, initiating force (political or criminal) to control or plunder others, using drugs or alcohol, promiscuity, injurious masochism or sadism, vandalism, thrill killings, mass murder, waging war, genocide. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 13 ] Repression of emotions is the attempt to deny emotions. S uch repression is harmful and entirely different from the suppression of emotions, which can be a valuable, necessary process. Suppression of emotions is an act of discipline in consciously putting aside emotions to experience them later at a more appropriate time or in a more controlled manner. In suppressing an emotion, one is not denying the emotion and remains fully aware of it. Suppression is an important tool for preventing destructive, mystical reactions in oneself. Neo-Tech Advantage #36 EMOTIONS AND REALITY Emotions are a real part of every person and, therefore, are a part of reality. To know and deal with undistorted reality, a person must first know one's self, which includes knowing one's own emotions. A person must learn to be aware of feelings in order to prevent destructive emotional reactions. A person must also know one's own emotions in order to effectively share them in a love relationship. For, the pleasure and happiness of a romanticlove relationship is measured by emotional closeness. Neo-Tech Advantage #37 CHRISTIAN CONDEMNATION OF EMOTIONS Emotions are not subject to condemnation, guilt, or right or wrong judgments...only actions are right or wrong.[ 14 ] Next to the mystical concept of original sin, perhaps the most pervasively damaging, unjust concept projected by the Christian ethic is the moral judgment of emotions. Especially malevolent and harmful are the condemnations of emotions such as found in the Sermon on the Mount: "But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." By condemning human emotions, Christian neocheaters discovered an effective tool to condemn everyone...to make everyone guilty, keeping them more controllable for usurping power and values. Since everyone by nature possesses a full range of automatic feelings or emotions that cannot be directly controlled, shut off or stopped, nearly everyone is victimized by Christianstyle "sin" and "guilt". While everyone innocently experiences negative, irrational emotions, no one ever has to act on such emotions. And since only human actions are subject to choice, only human actions (not emotions) are subject to moral judgment. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes:
[ 14 ] An individual, however, is always responsible for his or h er actions. Even if the action is an accident or honest error, one remains responsible for every action. Thus, by nature, one must eventually pay for errors, even accidental or innocent ones. Most innocent errors, however, do not carry the destructive, long-range consequences of uncorrected volitional or dishonest errors. Neo-Tech Advantage #38 FEAR OF EMOTIONS Many innocent people repress emotions because of false guilt. In doing so, they never can know themselves. Once the following two facts are realized, one can eliminate fear or guilt about one's own emotions: 1. Immediate emotions are beyond a person's direct control. Thus, emotions are not subject to moral judgment or condemnation and should never be associated with guilt. Only volitional actions can be wrong, condemned, or associated with guilt. 2. Emotions never have to be acted upon. Thus a person never needs to fear irrational emotions. A person can feel hatred toward anyone, even the desire for mayhem and murder -- a person can feel any emotion, rational or irrational, without being guilty of anything. A person becomes guilty only if he or she chooses to act on irrational emotions to harm others. Neo-Tech Advantage #39 EMOTIONS OF FEAR AND THE VALUE OF FEARLESSNESS Objective fear is a valuable protection mechanism. By contrast, irrational fear is destructive whenever it stops a person from taking needed actions. Fortunately, the paralyzing effects of irrational fear can be overcome with direct, conscious effort. For example, if a person takes a rational action that he or she fears (if no actual danger exists), that fear will dissipate. Irrational fears can cause inaction that prevents deserving, productive people from developing prosperity and happiness. A fearlessness to live is perhaps the most financially and emotionally rewarding character trait that an honest, productive person can develop. "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." -- Theodore Roosevelt[ 15 ] Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 15 ] The anomaly of a worthwhile quote from a politician is exp lainable by realizing that "mighty things" and "glorious triumphs" in the minds of value-destroying politicians can mean something entirely different from "mighty things" and "glorious triumphs" in the minds of value-creating business people. For example, being a "great" and powerful politician or dictator via force and manipulation is quite different than being a great and creative artist or industrialist via honest, productive effort and earned ability.
Neo-Tech Advantage #40 FEAR OF REJECTION AND RISK TAKING Fear of being hurt or rejected prevents the development of many romantic-love relationships. That fear keeps a person defensive which, in turn, prevents emotional openness with his or her partner. And that openness is necessary for developing romantic love and psychuous pleasures. The achievement of romantic love involves a willingness to take risks. Moreover, the fear of being hurt by being open is unfounded. To the contrary, a person is always hurt by faking or concealing emotions from one's self or a loved one. Denial of feelings traps a person into emotionally repressive situations that diminish the potential for love and happiness. Being emotionally honest and open is the safest, happiest way to live. ...Being emotionally open, however, does not mean gratuitously projecting emotions onto others or blaming one's emotional or personal problems on others. ...Blaming others for one's personal or emotional problems is an irrational, unfair, and mystical act that keeps a person from solving his or her own problems. Consistently acting on rational premises and being loyal to honesty builds confidence in a person's own rectitude and worth. Rationality and honesty, in turn, help remove the fear that prevents people from venturing into new growth areas, including romantic love. Rationality, fairness, and honesty act as powerful protectors when venturing into unexplored areas, ranging from business to love relationships. Neo-Tech Advantage #41 INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT VS. OPINIONS OF OTHERS Acting on what others think rather than on one's own thinking not only undermines integrity and judgment, but diminishes self-esteem. That, in turn, gradually represses the best qualities within a person. In a free or semi-free society, everyone has the basic choice of acting on his or her independent judgment versus acting on the basis of what other people think, do, or say. In a totalitarian society, however, no such choice exists. The authorities terrorize everyone by coercion, force, and threats into acting on the basis of what some "authority" thinks or wishes (e.g., the dictator). By preventing people from acting on their own judgments, totalitarian governments deprive individuals of their natural survival mechanisms by undermining the independent use of their minds. Being unwilling or unable to act on one's own judgment, the individual is controllable by others -- by the whims, wishes, and demands of neocheating "authorities". Neo-Tech Advantage #42 CASUAL VS. SERIOUS SEX Psychuous sex is always linked to values...to an exchange of rational values between partners. A continuous exchange of values that enhances personal worth and psychological visibility is the basis of psychuous pleasures and romantic-love. But, sex without serious values (i.e., casual sex) cannot deliver psychuous pleasures and is eventually self-destructive. The difference between serious and casual sex is not always obvious on the surface. But the difference always appears at the base of every relationship. While the actual sexual activity of serious sex can and often does have interludes of lightness and fun, the meaning behind every act is serious and important. But sex on a nonserious, unimportant, or casual basis done only for "fun" is a diminishing experience that erodes self-esteem and sexual competence. On the other hand, a serious sexual affair will always produce growth and values so long as the relationship is based on mutual values, honesty, and respect. In a value-based sexual relationship, psychuous pleasures are linked to a mutual reflection of each partner's personal values and worth.
Unlike casual sexual relationships, serious relationships have no bounds or limits to personal values that can be exchanged. The value of a serious romantic relationship can grow so great that a person would give, if necessary, all of one's possessions, even one's own life, to protect his or her romantic-love partner. Neo-Tech Advantage #43 MULTIPLE PARTNERS, VALUE SYSTEMS, AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES Few people if any can benefit from a multi-partner relationship not only because of the painful, emotional conflicts but because of the time and effort inherently required to develop a valuable, romantic-love relationship with just one partner. Furthermore, the amount of time required to develop valuable multi-partner relationships could deprive an individual of the time needed to fully develop crucial areas of life such as a rewarding career, productive work, business. [Re: Concept 41 and 42, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] The biggest negative of multi-partner relationships evolves from the nature of psychuous sex: Romantic love works best when structured around long-term, monogamous relationships. Why? Because continuous efforts and experiences with an exclusive partner deliver the most intimacy, growth, and values. Thus, the most erotically exciting and sexually satisfying experiences by nature evolve from long-term, monogamous/psychuous relations. ...And today, the rise of incurable herpes and deadly AIDS adds a new dimension to the advantages of monogamous, romantic-love relationships. *** All individual values, including sexual values, fall into two categories -- (1) nonjudgeable or amoral values that arise from each person's unique personality development, and (2) objectively right or wrong values that arise from a person's volitional character development. Many Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts deal either directly or indirectly with the second category. Those values are self-determined and reflect a person's view of: Self and others. Rights of individuals. Value of conscious life. Work, productivity, creativity, achievement. Acquiring knowledge and loyalty to honesty. Acquiring personal pleasures and happiness. Other Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts deal with the nonjudgmental or amoral values that reflect unique individual preferences such as the: Physical and psychological features that a person finds most attractive and stimulating in a love partner. Combination of values that deliver the greatest curiosity, excitement, satisfaction. Most satisfying or pleasurable styles, methods, techniques. Each individual has his or her own sexual value system. Such values evolve from subconscious ratings of past experiences, personal preferences, personal desires. Those values can vary widely from person to person. Many sexual values depend on the individual's unique personality and tastes. And those values are not subject to judgments of right and wrong, better and worse, moral and immoral...they merely reflect personal differences. Contrary to advice in most books on sex and marriage, an important task of every couple working toward romantic love and psychuous pleasure is not to seek compromises between their unique sexual values, but to openly become aware of each other's sexual values. Once aware of one's own as well as one's partner's sexual values, the differences can be used to intensify intimacies and pleasures. Those deep intimacies are achieved by satisfying the sexual values of one's partner without compromising one's own sexual values. In that process, each
partner becomes increasingly valuable and uniquely irreplaceable to the other. Such relationships become evermore secure as romantic love grows without restrictions or bounds. Divorces in those rational, non-mystical relationships diminish toward zero as values and happiness grow with time and effort. ...All such growing values become like money in the bank -- a permanent, growing, emotional bank account that becomes irreplaceable by anyone else. To gain honest Neo-Tech advantages, one must always be aware of the great physical, intellectual, and psychological differences among individuals. People exhibit strikingly different characteristics in: physical structures, ways of thinking, areas of knowledge, mental capacities, views of life. As a person develops one's character, an unevenness develops in being honest versus being mystical. For example, a person may find that the honest integration of facts is easier in certain areas of life. In other areas, that person surrenders to the "easyway-out" mystical trap. Such unevenness in honesty is caused by a person's past and present choices and actions. That volitional behavior, in turn, determines the rate of personal evolvement and the quality of character development. A major mistake that many people make is to expect other people to be like them. People are not alike. Furthermore, most individual differences are not subject to right or wrong judgments. Amoral differences are merely differences -- not right or wrong entities. Another error is the belief that a person can change the basic nature of another person. Basic changes occur only from within the individual's own self. No one else can force or pressure such changes. Neo-Tech Advantage #44 RELATIONSHIP ERRORS Casual, nonintimate, or fun-only sex does not always start from a neurotic base. Casual sex may begin as an immature sexual view during adolescence. Or casual sex may begin as a notion to experiment with "new" sex in order to broaden one's sexual experiences or to diminish sexual inhibitions and taboos. Indeed, casual sex, swinging sex, orgy sex may accomplish those ends. But, the eventual cost of casual sex, fun-only, or exploitive sex to one's self-esteem is high. One experiences such sex only with grave consequences to his or her self-esteem, sexuality, and happiness. By contrast, one experiences a limitless broadening of erotic sexual experiences with enhanced self-esteem through the Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts. Human beings are always capable of correcting errors. The harm caused by past, casual-sexual experiences can be reversed by restructuring sexual standards around the consistent, value-oriented foundation of Psychuous Sex. Neo-Tech Advantage #45 ACHIEVING PSYCHUOUS PLEASURES By defaulting on the basic human responsibility of achieving personal happiness and psychuous pleasures, a person lets his or her future turn downward toward death. Through that default, life and time slip away, increasingly unrewarded and unfulfilled. By that default, the exciting potential for life (which everyone senses at least some time during his or her life...usually in early childhood) will fade, never to be experienced again -- unless revived by Neo-Tech. Such defaults are unnecessary, contrary to human nature, and rooted in the mysticism continually promoted by neocheaters. By contrast, the experiencing of an exciting, value-generating life and the achievement of prosperity, power, and psychuous pleasures are accomplished through self-responsibility -- through a loyalty to rational efforts and honesty [Re: Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia].
A value-oriented, romantic relationship offers limitless pleasures ranging from joy and spontaneous fun[ 16 ] to erotic thrills, adventure, psychuous pleasures, and profound happiness. Equally important, such romantic relationships can greatly enhance each partner's productivity, values, and prosperity. Psychuous pleasures can always grow, even during crisis or turmoil. Psychuous sex lets a person physically confirm the value of his or her life, especially during difficult or crisis periods. Psychuous sex allows a person to be acutely aware of his or her worth, pleasures, and happiness. But psychuous pleasures go far beyond sexual intercourse. In fact, sexual intercourse itself plays only a small (but crucial) role in psychuous pleasure, which is integrated with all aspects of conscious life. Romantic love and psychuous pleasures add so much to human happiness that to settle for something as unchallenging and limited as casual, fun-only sex is to treat one's self poorly indeed. Limiting the potential for pleasure to such a narrow, shallow range of experiences undermines a person's entire life.

Neo-Tech Advantage #46 END OF A GOOD RELATIONSHIP VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY A serious romantic relationship can last and grow forever. But if growth stops and cannot be revived, the relationship should end before the growth potential of either partner diminishes. If a good relationship does end, however, each partner can and should retain the values and benefits of all past growth. Voluntary termination of a psychuous relationship requires a carefully considered, mutually reasoned decision to avoid the tragic mistake of terminating a good relationship unnecessarily. A decision to terminate should include a thoughtful plan to avoid harm to either partner while preserving the growth and values already achieved. Involuntary termination of a good relationship through death is final. Still, the living partner must continue growing. Involuntary termination of a good relationship can also be initiated through errors of one or both partners. Each partner must fight to save a good relationship from being destroyed by errors. Each must identify those errors and reject destructive mysticism that always seeks to destroy values by creating problems where none exist. When ending a previously good relationship, no matter how much pain or hurt is involved, great efforts should be made to leave one's partner in a positive, uplifted condition. Such efforts deliver long-term benefits to both partners. Such efforts preserve past growth and values. Such efforts leave both in freer, guiltless positions from which to seek a new relationship and happiness. But terminating a hopelessly destructive relationship is quite different. Just frankly stating the necessity to end the relationship and then walking away from it completely and forever is often the healthiest, most honest, and least painful method for everyone. A complete and decisive physical and emotional break leaves both partners freer to reestablish separate lives more quickly for new growth and renewed happiness.
Whenever love dies, reasons always exist. But the reasons are not always obvious. A person can better prepare for a future relationship by identifying the reasons for failure through high-effort, honest introspection. Neo-Tech Advantage #47 LOYALTY TO HONESTY THE WAY TO HANDLE PROBLEMS Honesty is not automatic. It always requires explicit, conscious effort. Being honest is hard work...very hard work. If, in difficult emotional situations, one is not aware of the concentrated effort required to be honest, that person is probably not being fully honest. At that point, he or she can easily plug into effortless mysticism. For with mysticism, a person can automatically rationalize out-of-context scenarios to avoid the effort required to understand reality and solve one's own problems. Developing the skills for being honest is neither automatic nor easy. Honesty requires high-effort concentration, discipline, and awareness. Because of the constant effort required to be honest, many people default to mysticism and thus lose the essential tool for solving problems -- the tool for achieving prosperity, power, and happiness. That tool is honesty. ...Many people never grasp or experience integrated honesty. Fully integrated honesty evolves from the efforts required to be consistently honest. By contrast, mystical dishonesty evolves from self-deceptions and defaults -- from a self-chosen laziness that relegates honesty to a low priority, especially when feelings are involved. ...With mysticism, honesty becomes arbitrary. A commitment to honesty with one's romantic-love partner is essential for achieving psychuous pleasures. In an open relationship, each partner is free to follow those actions self-judged best for his or her own rational wellbeing. Each must also be equally free to make and correct his or her own errors. Both must strive to meet their individual needs for growth. Both must accept the fact that neither has any physical or psychological ownership over the other. With the freedom and self-responsibility to guide one's own life, each partner develops an evergrowing accumulation of strengths. Those new strengths allow each to continually feed fresh love and enriching values to the other. With each partner feeding new strength and values into the relationship, each benefits from the other's unique experiences. With such constant values coming from free and independent sources, the excitement between partners can grow continuously, often by large leaps, toward increased psychuous pleasures and abiding happiness. With this never-ending, spiraling growth, each partner becomes increasingly valuable to the other. Thus, fewer and fewer circumstances could threaten or replace such a romantic-love relationship. Like money in the bank, newly added values accumulate with interest. And with time, the strength of such valuebuilt relationships becomes so great that no outside force, no matter how valuable or appealing, could compete. ...Such self-built continually added strengths and competitive values offer the only genuine security for any romantic-love relationship. By contrast, sexual affairs hidden from one's love partner are deceptive and, therefore, dishonest and destructive. Moreover, such affairs are usually too restricted by their secrecy to deliver continuously growing values. ...Honesty and rationality are the foundations of psychuous pleasures and romantic love. Honest disputes without physical aggression or psychological injury can be valuable. Verbal disputes can cut through emotional blocks to release repressed feelings and foster communication. But undisciplined let-it-allhang-out anger and negativity are immature, unhelpful, destructive forms of mysticism. Also, disputes become destructively dishonest when one or both partners silently save up the "worst" faults or problems of the other in order to use them later as manipulative weapons. ...Saving up faults is a dishonest, immature tactic used to manipulate, damage, or end relationships.
Within a romantic-love relationship, the problems that do arise provide opportunities to discover new strengths and values for richer love and pleasures. Even if certain problems seem unresolvable, they can be mutually understood if discussed honestly. And the more explicitly problems are understood, the more satisfying will be their resolutions. Moreover, with sufficient information and honest efforts, all disagreements can eventually be resolved without compromises by either partner. An efficient approach for resolving conflicts is to reduce the disputed differences to writing and then find the common premises always revealed by self-honesty [Re: Communication Map in Tables 26a and 26b, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Explicitly breaking down problems into communication maps usually generates happy agreements. Even if a problem cannot be completely resolved, the honest communication will (a) draw each partner closer, and (b) develop greater competence in solving future problems. [Re: Table 26b, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] Neo-Tech Advantage #48 GUILTLESS FREEDOM TO BE ONESELF For a healthy romantic relationship, each partner must grant the other guiltless, free choice to enter any growth relationship (in principle, including sexual) with any person of value. In growing romantic-love relationships, however, the circumstances for an outside, rational sexual relationship occurring are essentially nil. Acceptance or approval by people other than one's romantic-love partner is not a requirement for success, happiness, or psychuous pleasures: To achieve psychuous pleasures, a person must be free to be one's own self and choose one's own actions. Trying to be different from one's rational self is a distortion of human nature and contrary to romantic love. Likewise, a person cannot change another person's nature. For, one's nature can be changed only from within that person, not from without. Of course, a person can develop his or her own character and correct errors as new knowledge is acquired. Such changes are the process of personal growth. And such growth comes through volitional choices to honestly integrate new knowledge. A person is what he or she is. To pretend to be anything else is to present a false illusion requiring dishonest role playing. A person diminishes any personal relationship to the extent that a false illusion is presented. A person must present himself or herself as "This is me. Take me or leave me as I am." Only from that position can a person proceed with the genuine growth required for romantic love, psychuous pleasures, and abiding happiness. Accepting a "take me or leave me" position does not mean specific errors should be accepted or uncriticized. A person can and should change erroneous views and destructive traits (such as mysticism and dishonesty) through character development. Furthermore, each partner must be free to constructively point out harmful errors in the other as well as to be open to criticism about one's own self. Moreover, each partner should expect continuous growth in the other. ...But if a person does not accept the nature of his or her partner, the romanticlove relationship will deteriorate. Two dangers exist in criticizing one's romantic-love partner: The first danger is that criticism may unintentionally turn into an invalid attack on the partner's basic self. And attacking a partner's basic self can end the relationship. Still, if certain aspects of a partner's basic self are unacceptable, ending the relationship may be the best, most rational action. The second danger concerning criticism involves avoiding valid, specific criticism for fear of causing problems or rejection. Avoiding criticism cuts off important areas of communication necessary for personal growth. Both partners must be free to express themselves to the other: their compliments and criticism, their likes and
dislikes. Valid praise and criticism should not be held back, but should be expressed in specifics to avoid insincere flattery or manipulative criticism (i.e., using criticism as a tool to pressure a person). Allowances must be made for errors. Through misunderstandings or wrong premises, one partner may erroneously criticize the other. And to the degree erroneous criticism occurs, the relationship will be diminished until the error is corrected. Most people have large capacities for self-improvement and correcting errors, especially in an atmosphere of benevolent freedom. Having the guiltless freedom to make errors and subsequently being able to correct those errors lets each partner develop into his or her best possible self with the most values to offer the other partner. Mistakes and errors need not do permanent damage. When faced and dealt with, most errors become selfrevealing solutions that create new areas of strength, knowledge, and growth. ...Guiltless freedom is essential for converting one's errors and problems into assets. Neo-Tech Advantage #49 THE INJUSTICE OF JEALOUSY GT JEALOUSY VS. BT JEALOUSY Neo-Tech identifies two types of sexual jealousy: good-thought (GT) and bad-thought (BT).[ 17 ] Both types are based on the erroneous assumption that one has a claim on his or her love-partner's life, especially that person's sex life.[ 18 ] The feelings of jealousy arise when the unreal presumption of possessing one's partner seems challenged. GT jealousy is characterized by the retention of basically good thoughts about one's partner, even when pain or anger is generated. Most people can experience various degrees of GT jealousy about their love partners. GT jealousy does not always mean the jealous-reacting partner is insecure or possessive, especially if the jealousy is experienced only as a passing feeling. GT jealousy, even if severely painful, rarely inflicts deep or permanent damage on either partner or the relationship. Likewise, GT jealousy seldom cuts deeply into the emotions because positive feelings about one's partner dominate the underlying emotions. BT jealousy, on the other hand, is a destructive, mystical reaction that conjures up, often out of nothing, unjust bad thoughts about one's partner. Those bad thoughts are often well concealed, but insidiously destructive to the emotions of both partners. In contrast to GT jealousy in which good thoughts are retained about one's partner, BT or bad-thought jealousy prevents the jealous partner from knowing, accepting, remembering, or believing the values in the victim partner. Instead, unreal bitterness, cynicism, or malevolence against the victim partner is conjured up by BT jealousy. Such negative illusions are usually rooted in past experiences not even related to the victim partner. The victim partner usually senses a "bad-person" feedback from the BT jealous person. That causes the victim to respond with increasing puzzlement or astonishment followed by anger, dislike, and a sense of injustice. Those negative emotions usually keep building until they eventually outweigh all the good feelings and values between the partners. At that point, love and the relationship die. The Neo-Tech/Psychuous Concepts identify and can overcome both types of jealousy, especially the GT type. BT jealousy is more difficult to overcome because the cause is a cancerous mysticism that becomes deeply rooted in one's emotions. Cognitive-based psychotherapy[ 19 ] may help overcome BT jealousy and its destructive effects. But the only certain cure is to use mystic-breaking, integrated honesty to self-command all actions. Without that integrated honesty, one will continue reacting destructively to the emotions of jealousy. The bad thoughts of BT jealousy along with its hostile, immature possessiveness and obligatory demands become increasingly unreal, unfair, and burdensome to the victim partner. Such jealousy will eventually destroy any love
relationship no matter how strong were the original love and values. BT jealousy is an unfair, hostile foisting of one's own personal problems or inadequacies onto the victim partner. The mounting obligatory demands and hostile possessiveness of BT jealousy destroys a love relationship by penalizing the victim partner for the very values he or she offers. In fact, the more values offered, the greater are the penalties -- the greater are the possessive attacks and obligatory demands. Indeed, BT jealousy, immature possessiveness, and obligatory demands not only rest on mystically unreal premises, but are always unjust since the victim is penalized to the extent he or she offers values to the jealous partner. The jealous partner ignores the free-choice position necessary to build a healthy, permanent romantic-love relationship. The jealous partner accepts the false idea that outside relationships or associations are by nature threatening [Re: Concept 63, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Furthermore, the jealous partner erroneously judges his or her partner in terms of unrelated, outside experiences and relationships rather than in terms of their own relationship [Re: Concept 63, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Through mysticism, jealousy destroys values by focusing on what is not given or what is not available...while ignoring, abusing, tearing down, or destroying what is given or is available. Through Neo-Tech, the non-mystic appreciates and focuses on what values are given or are available and then builds from that position -- and only from that position. "Testing" is simply another form of jealousy in which one partner translates his or her insecurity into testing the victim partner for proof of love or fidelity. Such "testing" is unfair, immature, and continually escalates until the values of a relationship are destroyed. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 17 ] Although sexual jealousy is common and perhaps exists to s ome degree in most people, such jealousy is neither natural nor psychologically healthy. Sexual jealousy often stems from insecurity or self-esteem problems. Sexual jealousy is not synonymous with the valid desire for sexual privacy and romantic exclusivity experienced in most value-oriented, love relationships. ...By contrast, nonsexual jealousy (NS) differs from sexual jealousy (GT or BT types). NS jealousy involves relatively harmless, natural desires for values possessed by others. Often NS jealousy is erroneously called "envy". Envy is not a desire to possess values of others, but is a malevolent desire to destroy values earned by others. Envy is rooted in the fear of exposing one's own inadequacy, incompetence, impotence. Productive people can experience harmless NS jealousy, while nonproductive people often experience destructive envy [Re: Concepts 133 and 134, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Note: No value judgment is or can be made on emotions alone. Only the choice to react rationally or irrationally to an emotion can be judged good or bad. The above judgments are based on jealous reactions, not jealous emotions. The choice to act rationally in avoiding a jealous reaction will help dissipate that harmful emotion. But the harmful, irrational choice to react jealously always feeds and amplifies that emotion. [ 18 ] No one can ever really own another person's life, including that person's sex life. Every individual exclusively owns each and every segment of his or her own life. In relationships, people volitionally share, not own, various aspects or segments of each other's lives. In a romantic-love relationship, by nature, many more life experiences
are intimately shared and integrated than in other types of human relationships. Also, while certain segments of a person's life can be temporarily rented or hired as in a voluntary employer-employee relationship, no part of a person's life can be actually owned by anyone else. [ 19 ] Effective cognitive psychotherapy is objectively oriented around the cognitive nature of human beings (rather than mystically oriented around behavioral and social natures). To be effective, a therapist must understand the relationships between reason and emotions, between self-esteem and mental health, between mysticism and mental illness. Unfortunately, few psychologists or psychiatrists are oriented around objective standards, even fewer work with or even understand the relationship between self-esteem and mental health. And only a minute fraction, if any, in the profession understand mysticism as the prime disease of the human mind and the only disease of human consciousness. That situation is why most psychiatrists and psychologists have essentially zero "cure" records. Most such therapists are ineffective or harmful in helping their patients find real, long-range solutions to their problems. Ineffective therapy not only costs the patient much time and money, but increases the long-range damage by camouflaging the problem under illusions or feelings of relief, well-being, improvement, or cure. Those illusions are like drugs: they give temporary feelings of euphoria on which the patient becomes increasingly dependent. But the problems always reemerge in other forms, often in forms more destructive than previously experienced. To benefit from therapy, the patient must first determine the therapist's honesty, integrity, and criterion for mental health. If, on questioning, the therapist's treatment is not clearly based on the biological nature of man and a criterion of self-esteem, the patient should seek another therapist. A wrong or an incompetent therapist can cost a patient's long-range happiness, even his or her life. Also, the need for ever using psychotherapy, especially in overcoming internal mysticism, is questioned in Neo-Tech Advantage #73 entitled, "The Nature of Emotions". In fact, most neuroses are self-chosen indulgences in mysticism for which therapy is of little value. Usually, only a self-chosen maturity and honesty to break that mystical indulgence (cause) will end the symptomatic neurosis (effect). Neo-Tech Advantage #50 THE POISON CORE OF JEALOUSY BT jealousy will eventually destroy even the deepest love relationships. Jealousy gradually poisons the friendship aspects of love. Once that friendship is gone, no link remains to hold together the nonsexual aspects of the relationship. Within the person projecting bad-thought jealousy, a bitter core of poisonous emotions develops (although often initially hidden). That core increasingly releases bad feelings toward the victim partner which, in turn, unfairly diminishes the victim's freedom and happiness. Recognizing the presence of that poison core is the first step in keeping BT jealousy from destroying a relationship. But once that core is formed, freeing oneself from its destructive effects is difficult. The problem of BT jealousy cannot be wished away. For the poison core usually develops from mystical defaults deep within the jealous partner's subconscious [Re: Table 27, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Unless identified and removed, that poison core will dissolve the pleasure, happiness, and love in any romantic relationship. Such a poison core generates hostile actions that are often subtle and unrecognized at first. But that jealous partner increasingly takes unjust advantage of the victim partner's innocence, values, love, and goodwill. Such injustice constantly wounds the victim partner and will eventually destroy all love and friendship. Unlike the nonjealous lover who usually experiences pain whenever his loved one is in pain, the BT jealous lover will often
gain a satisfying sense of security on being able to inflict pain on the victim partner. That malevolence of BT jealousy eventually negates any value of the relationship. A person should avoid listening to false accusations or unjust innuendos leveled against oneself or others by a jealous, envious, or gossipy person. Even though the conscious mind can reject known false charges, such accusations still enter nonanalytical pockets of the subconscious mind. That, in turn, causes subsequent emotions to automatically reflect negative feelings toward oneself or the person being falsely accused. A person is helpless in avoiding those unjust, harmful, subconscious reactions. Likewise, a person is essentially powerless to avoid the guilt or bad feelings resulting from false implications coming from a BT jealous partner. As long as that relationship continues, the jealous partner can increasingly inflict psychic damage within the victim's subconscious. The victim partner suffers damage proportional to his or her exposure to the poison core of a BT jealous partner. Usually the only release from that damage is for the victim partner to terminate that harmful relationship. By contrast, a mystic-free Neo-Tech partner will ask: "Do not judge me on your feelings, wishes, imagination, or what others say. Judge me by what you know about my character, deeds, and actions. And I will always grant you the same." Neo-Tech Advantage #51 UNNECESSARY AGING As people grow older, their views of life often grow increasingly negative. Their hopes and dreams often turn into disillusions. On aging, such people gradually lose the capacity to experience the joy inherent in life. Their anticipation of life continually diminishes as their used-up, shrinking futures become evident and the inevitability of death draws closer. ...But Neo-Tech reverses that dying process by allowing life and happiness to grow with age and experience.[ 20 ] Age is no factor in achieving psychuous pleasures, except for the possible lack-of-knowledge limitations of adolescent sex [Re: Concept 80, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Moreover, psychuous pleasures can continually increase with age as one widens his or her values, knowledge, and experience. In building psychuous pleasures, a person's psychological growth can far outweigh so-called physical aging effects. Emotional and physical pleasures as well as prosperity and happiness can increase indefinitely for any honest, productive individual applying Neo-Tech knowledge. For most people, both sexual and nonsexual pleasures unnecessarily diminish with age. Negative philosophical and psychological changes occur as their futures fade and their spans of remaining years shrink. They despair and become sour with age while increasingly surrendering to the mystics' come-to-God or waiting-for-death attitudes. They surrender to the altruistic myth that older people should sacrifice themselves, their careers, their lives to "make room" for youth. With that surrender, a person's happiness fades. Despite what many physicians erroneously advise,[ 21 ] no mystic-free, productive person has to decline in physical, mental, or sexual activity with age. All mystic-free, productive people can experience increasing happiness and quality of life with age caused by increasing knowledge, growth, and experience: By applying the Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts, one can not only avoid the unnecessary, mystical decline toward death, but can continually elevate his or her quality of life and psychuous growth through increasing knowledge and experience. Sex never renews itself spontaneously. Left unattended, sex gradually diminishes in both quality and value. But with Neo-Tech, the quality and value of sex is continuously renewed and expanded by constantly investing conscious thought and effort into further developing personal values and earned power. The Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts allow never-aging growth on all levels of conscious human life (i.e., on physiological, psychological, and philosophical levels). ...In a Neo-Tech civilization, one need not age, lose values...or die.

In that mystical world, "It is better to be young than old". But in the Neo-Tech life-oriented world, increasing age becomes an increasing asset of growth, knowledge, experience, especially as mystic-free businesses develop commercial, non-aging biological immortality. [ 21 ] Many physicians are incompetent, especially in the area of sex and aging. But most make themselves appear as all-knowing and infallible to their patients. Following the advice of an incompetent physician can not only damage a patient's physical well-being, but can cost the patient's happiness and life. Health, well-being, and happiness are not the responsibilities of physicians, but are the prime self-responsibilities of each individual. Neo-Tech Advantage #52 PARENTS AS SCAPEGOATS Most people dutifully profess love toward their children and parents. But often the past and present psychological differences, irrationalities, conflicts, demands, and "duties" make genuine love and enjoyment between parents and their children impossible. An important step toward emotional growth is to realize that no one has a duty to love anyone, not even parents, children, husband, wife. Genuine love occurs only voluntarily, through a mutual exchange of objective and emotional values. Genuine love between parents and children can and does occur in those relationships in which objective values grow and are exchanged. Occasionally, parents may be partially responsible for some problems experienced by certain adolescents and young adults. Too often, however, parents are blamed for their grown children's faults, defaults, sexual shortcomings, and other problems for which those grown children themselves are responsible. Blaming parents only hides or avoids the self-responsibilities and efforts needed to correct one's own personal problems. Major problems between parents and children often develop from the parents' failure to respect their own children: their failure to treat children as human beings with individual rights. Parents, for example, commonly initiate force and physically assault their children under the euphemisms of spankings, protection, discipline. [Re: Concept 114, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia.] If children are not granted respect, they may never develop respect for themselves, for their parents, or for values. Such children often develop into tomorrow's mystics and neocheaters. They then survive by usurping their living as politicians, trouble-making lawyers, destructive bureaucrats, criminals, theologians, media journalists, or educators who hold little or no respect for honesty. By contrast, the two most valuable gifts parents can give their children are (1) respect as conscious beings with individual rights, and (2) environments that promote honesty, assertive effort, integrity, independence, and the skill to perceive reality accurately. Neo-Tech Advantage #53 ADOLESCENT, PREMARITAL, AND NONMARITAL LOVE Sexual feelings begin long before puberty. As noted by Havelock Ellis, Freud, and Kinsey, very young children and even babies two and three months old have sexual experiences (both through self-stimulation and through
handling, caring, and fondling by parents). Valid sensuous/sexual pleasures can be experienced between child and parent, especially between mother and child during nursing or nude cuddling. While such pleasures are loving, healthy, and beneficial, those pleasurable values for both the child and parent are often inhibited by incest fears and taboos. Adolescent sex never need be approached with inhibition or forbiddance. But few adolescents have sufficient emotional development, knowledge, or desire for deep emotional involvements and serious mutual commitments with sexual partners. For adolescents and adults alike, sexual involvement should always be judged from a goodfor-me/bad-for-me standard. Serious sexual experiences that deliver growth and happiness through exchanges of objective values are usually good for everyone involved, regardless of age. But sexual relations that are casual, not grounded in objective values, or neurotically based are bad for everyone, regardless of age. For casual sexual relationships undermine self-esteem and psychuous pleasures. Adolescents having sexual relationships before they are able or desire to involve themselves in serious, valueexchanging relationships will undermine their future capacity for romantic love. The loss of self-esteem resulting from casually giving away one's personal self militates against psychuous pleasures, romantic love, and longrange happiness. For, casual or manipulative sex undercuts self-esteem. But, by understanding the concepts of psychuous sex, one can identify and correct past sexual errors while creating conditions for psychuous pleasures. Marriage itself is no criterion to commence sexual relations. In fact, avoiding sex until marriage would usually be irrational and potentially harmful to future happiness. In any romantic-love relationship, satisfactory sex is required for full emotional intimacy and growth. In addition to achieving emotional growth, value-oriented premarital sex helps eliminate harmful anxieties for sex performance often experienced in virginal marriages. That release from sexual anxieties lets each partner concentrate on those nonsexual aspects required for longlasting, value-producing, romantic relationships. Nonmarital sexual relations can provide a full range of sexual values and psychuous pleasures. [Re: Concept 68, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia.] Serious nonmarital sexual affairs offer important life-lifting values while avoiding the sacrifice of happiness that dominates closed marriages based on duty and sacrifice rather than honesty and values. Moreover, nonmarital sexual relationships generally allow more time and freedom for selfdevelopment and career advancement, which in turn, provides increasing values, happiness, and strength to the relationship. Most valid, growing romantic-love relationships can and do lead to marriage[ 22 ], usually a flourishing, lasting marriage. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 22 ] Marriage in that context does not necessarily mean "legal" marriage, but means any serious long-term, romantic-love relationship mutually agreed on by each partner. "Legal" marriage has no bearing on the success or failure of a relationship. The mutual decision for sharing life in a serious, sexual-love relationship is the fundamental entity for building a romantic-love relationship that delivers psychuous pleasures and long-range happiness.
Neo-Tech Advantage #54 SEDUCTION TECHNIQUES: CASUAL, SERIOUS, MUTUAL The first known sex manual was written about 2 B.C. by a Roman named Ovid. His manual stressed seduction techniques for casual sex. In addition, the manual aggressively promoted the Don Juan and "Playboy" fun views of sex while teaching various role-playing games and manipulative techniques for the seduction of women. The Don Juan and "Playboy" approaches to sex use hypnosis,[ 23 ] manipulations of sex partners, and pragmatic dishonesty of professing "sincerity", "seriousness", and "love" when strategically advantageous for conquest. But most modern-day Don Juans can only feign lust while actually being terrified of their own sexual inadequacies. In fact, most macho Don Juans have never experienced psychological orgasms and remain psychosexual virgins all their lives -- they never develop a capacity for delivering or receiving psychuous pleasures. More simply, macho men are males who have never sexually matured or grown up. [Re: concept 45, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] Behind every sexual relationship is either a healthy or an unhealthy motive, although often hidden or subconscious. A person should become aware of one's own as well as his or her partner's motive for a sexual relationship. Hiding unhealthy or neurotic motives for a sexual relationship is eventually harmful to both partners. Negative, after-reaction emotions are natural warning signals from the human nervous system. If a person does something that is "not good for me" physically or psychologically, the nervous system will let that person know with hangover reactions of pain, anxiety, or discomfort. After-the-fact feelings transmitted from the nervous system always signal if past actions were objectively "good for me" or "bad for me". No matter how irrational or immoral if enacted in reality, fantasies are never immoral, wrong, or harmful when experienced or expressed without external action. For, fantasies are never harmful as long as they remain in the non-action, fantasy stage. Seductiveness (in the traditional, casual-sex sense) and sensuousness are two different qualities. Traditional seductiveness involves sly trickery to accomplish an end (e.g., sexual seduction) -- often for neurotic macho-like purposes (e.g., to bolster a weak self-esteem). Sensuousness, on the other hand, involves openness and self-expression free of guilt.[ 24 ] Sensuousness is a healthy trait, while seductiveness is generally an unhealthy trait. Sensuousness for enhancing personal appeal arises from rational efforts that enhances self-esteem and long-range happiness. Seductiveness for manipulating sex partners arises from irrational laziness that undercuts self-esteem and long-range happiness. But, seduction techniques for serious sex can be honest and beneficial. Those techniques are more accurately described as "sensuous projections" and differ from casual seduction techniques that depend on deceit. Sensuous projections are done through both verbal and body communication. The presentation of a person's body and words can be sexually attractive if projected with calculated thought. Those techniques are nonmanipulative and can be mastered through understanding the nature of psychuous sex. Men and women using the Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts can quickly achieve effective sensuous-projection techniques. The techniques involve integrating clothes, cosmetics, hair with one's body, face, voice, expressions -- all combined to project sexual attractiveness. Once acquired, those advantage-gaining techniques are available for life. A basic right, indeed a self-duty, of every human being is to be sexually attractive. Natural attractiveness is a given that has no moral virtue. But self-made, sexual attractiveness is an admirable, moral virtue that requires continuous thought and effort. Keeping one's self sexually attractive throughout life is a highly rational act of selfresponsibility that delivers increased power, prosperity, and romantic love. ...Contrary to the cancer seeds
planted by mystics and neocheaters, self-made sexiness does not reflect any lack of values or promiscuity. But, to the contrary, self-made sexiness reflects a respect for values and self. The primary attraction between two people moving toward rational, romantic-love relationships is their character traits, not their personality traits. Likewise, character development is the chief element in successful romanticlove relationships. And a romantic relationship based on psychuous sex usually develops into a mutual seduction process. During that process both partners project mounting sensuous, sexual attractiveness between them. Nonmanipulative seductions are innocent projections of sexual attractiveness combined with trust, honesty, and care. That kind of seduction helps both partners plumb rich, personal depths with each other -- physically and emotionally. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 23 ] Rapid hypnosis and self-hypnosis techniques can be easily mastered (e.g., see Bibliography Summary Table B-2 in Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia for D. Elman's book, "Exploration in Hypnosis", Nash Publishing. Note: Amateur hypnosis can do psychological damage and is not recommended in any form). Indirect, subtle forms of hypnosis are the most important tools in a Don Juan's seduction repertoire. Ironically, a subconscious form of negative-feedback self-hypnosis is the primary mechanism that leads to impotence and frigidity not only for Don Juans, but for almost everyone who dishonestly manipulates sex partners. [ 24 ] Self-expression is reflected in a person's body movements. The combined effects of guiltless relaxation and awareness of bodily pleasures allow the muscular motions to function in a free-movement, animal-like fashion...in the graceful, pleasurable way the human body is meant to move (such as in the gracefully sensuous movements of cats through their free, guiltless nature). A human being is a beautifully graceful animal when the total muscle system is functioning in a guiltlessly relaxed, free-flowing state. That state is reached by using Neo-Tech to expunge the unnecessary guilt, tensions, and problems laid on everyone for 2000 years by the professional mystics and neocheaters. Neo-Tech Advantage #55 PHYSICAL BEAUTY, ABUSE OF PARTNER, POTENCY LOSS, SEXUAL ROLES Because of their greater ease in initially attracting sexual partners, individuals with great natural, physical beauty must be cautious of the tempting traps inherent in easily obtainable sexual love: A few people, because of their stunning natural beauty, are not directly subjected to nature's vigorous sexual competition. To achieve love, sexual pleasures, and happiness, most people recognize early in life that they must become competitively attractive through high-effort development of character and competence. In adulthood, those who grew up accepting the challenge to self-develop can easily outcompete those naturally beautiful people who earlier in life never experienced those pressures to develop. As a result, many people with great natural beauty sadly grow old remaining undeveloped, immature, incompetent, unable to love or be loved. Achieving psychuous pleasures and romantic love requires the same discipline, thought, and effort for every individual, regardless of innate physical appearances. Likewise, a person must be cautious of involvement with people of exceptional, natural beauty whose personal lives reflect low-effort, low-productivity. Such individuals
often let their natural beauty substitute for the long-term effort required to develop characters of competence, self-esteem, and sensuosity required for romantic-love.[ 25 ] Thus, underdeveloped, beautiful people are often airheads -- often boring, value-draining people who are poor lovers with low self-esteems. Naturally beautiful people can easily develop "lady-killer" or "man-killer" syndromes in their relationships. Being a seductive "killer" can temporarily boost a weak ego by feeling a power to destroy values and hurt others. But that syndrome leads the perpetrator into life-wasting, destructive relationships. Indeed, a person who mistreats or manipulates his or her love partner usually suffers much more in the long run than the abused partner. For that abused partner will have new chances for love and happiness. But the chronic manipulator loses his or her capacity for love and is left with a future of increasing unhappiness, sexual incompetence, romantic failures, and ultimate loneliness. Conscious Loss of Potency Anxieties caused by pressures from "expected" sexual performances cause impotence and frigidity. Impotence also occurs through put-down statements or actions from a partner. Such statements or actions occur either willfully and maliciously or through error and ignorance. But the effects of such damage are often limited to that particular relationship. Thus, once the problem is identified, the victim can promptly abandon that destructive relationship. Decisively rejecting a "castrating" or "frigidizing" partner usually restores full sexual capacity. Subconscious Loss of Potency A less obvious, more dangerous pressure subconsciously corrupts the mind. That pressure comes from listening to false or undercutting statements about the sexual performance of one's own self or others. Such statements, no matter how false, involuntarily lodge in the subconscious mind. That happens even when the conscious mind rejects such statements as false [Re: Concept 77, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. By that mechanism, a subconscious undermining of a person's sexual potency or character can occur in one of two ways: (1) by innuendo and other indirect forms of communication, or (2) by sexual or character put-down humor. Even if the conscious mind rejects such put downs, the choice to grant credibility by voluntarily listening lets the subconscious mind accept such specious, harmful information as valid. The nonanalytical, subconscious mind does not evaluate assertions. The subconscious mind does not distinguish honest from dishonest information or serious from humorous situations. Thus, on entering the subconscious, the false information gradually works its undermining damage on the mind and nervous system. For that reason, a person should never propagate or even listen to unjust put downs, attacks, jokes, or gossip concerning the character or sexuality about oneself or anyone else. ...Such is the ear and mouth responsibility of everyone. A person, however, should always be open and receptive to constructive, factually valid criticism about oneself or others. Impotence and frigidity also develop when a man tries to oppress a woman, or vice versa. A person's willingness to accept such oppression blocks the possibility for psychuous pleasures. Such mutual acquiescence to oppression leads to impotence and frigidity in both partners.[ 26 ] By contrast, a man's psychosexual dominance and a woman's act of sexual surrender harmonize with the physical and psychological nature of human beings [Re: Concept 47, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. That psychological dominant/surrender interaction permits both partners to achieve the guiltless freedom and emotional closeness necessary for psychuous pleasures. On the physical level or even on the fantasy level, the dominant/surrender sexual roles can and should be reversed between the man and woman whenever desired. But on a psychological level, those sexual roles cannot be reversed.

For, they can easily acquire promiscuous, low-effort sexual affairs without subjecting themselves to the pressures of heterosexual competition. Indeed, heterosexual competitive environments exert healthy pressures needed for developing strong, mature, responsible adults. [ 26 ] Chronic mistreatment of a partner almost always involves the tacit willingness of the abused partner. The willingness to mistreat or be mistreated is so profoundly unnatural that psychuous pleasures are impossible in any relationship allowing such mistreatment. Neo-Tech Advantage #56 PSYCHUOUS PLEASURES [see pages iv-v for definition of Psychuous Pleasures] Psychuous pleasures and all other beneficial pleasures naturally and forever integrate with a person's physical or psychological life -- or both. By contrast, mystical pleasures and all other destructive pleasures unnaturally and always disintegrate a person's physical or psychological life -- or both. Essentially all growth in government power diminishes psychuous pleasures in everyone by continually undermining and violating individual rights. For, only through exercising individual rights can people achieve psychuous pleasures. And they exercise those rights through their own efforts, free from mystics, external "authorities", and neocheaters. Indeed, individual or property rights[ 27 ] are necessary for a person to live as human beings are designed to live -- to live according to one's biological nature. Still, those rights have been systematically violated to varying degrees by all governments and religions throughout history. Today, for the first time in history, Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts are available to the public. Neo-Tech forever breaks the stranglehold of guilt and sacrifice foisted on the value producers by political and religious value destroyers. Today, Neo-Tech breaks that stranglehold to free all productive individuals. Neo-Tech allows those value producers to discover prosperity, psychuous pleasures, and abiding happiness that belong to them. NeoTech releases them from the neocheaters who have always lived off the efforts and earnings of others. If value producers use Neo-Tech to reject the guilt foisted on them by the professional mystic and neocheater, they will free themselves not only for psychuous pleasures but for financial prosperity, abiding happiness, and biological immortality [Re: Concepts 145, 146, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 27 ] Individual rights and property rights are the same and ins eparable. Private property is a natural extension of every human being. And that extension is essential for a person to effectively produce values for others in
order to achieve prosperity and happiness. Without property rights, individual rights have no meaning. With property rights fully protected, individual rights are fully protected. ..."Human rights", by contrast, is a fake term conjured up by neocheaters to violate individual rights. "Human rights" is a meaningless concept. Only individual rights can exist or be violated. Neo-Tech Advantage #57 NATURAL PHENOMENA Most people call natural phenomena such as various survival and mating behaviors "instinct". But "instinct" is a mystical term that does not exist in humans or in animals. The term "instinct" implies inborn or innate knowledge, which is a false notion. The use of "instinct" to explain behavior is to explain nothing. Moreover, the "instinct" explanation closes further investigation into that which is not yet understood or known. "Instinct" is a mystical, anti-intellectual, anti-scientific term. For, accepting that catchall term as an explanation precludes further intellectual and scientific efforts to discover the reasons for various behaviors. Accepting "instinct" as an explanation for any human behavior constitutes accepting the mystical concept that knowledge can be inborn or innately acquired without the self-efforts required for acquiring all knowledge. Likewise, all living species function through definable, understandable biological actions and reactions, not through undefinable, mystical "instincts". To explain anything as "instinct" is a default to the mystic's desire for automatic, inborn, effortless knowledge. Neo-Tech Advantage #58 PERSONAL APPEARANCE AND NATURAL BODY FUNCTIONS Achieving and maintaining good physical fitness and appearance are necessary for developing psychuous pleasures and long-range happiness. On the other hand, physical appearances not within one's control are unimportant for achieving psychuous pleasures and happiness. The difference, for example, is between being sloppy and ugly. The natural, physically ugly person can choose to develop beauty through character development and sensuous efforts. He or she can then experience the full range of psychuous pleasures and happiness. But careless or sloppy people can never fully experience psychuous pleasures and happiness as long as they choose to remain careless and lazy about self and life. For by not caring about self and life, they obliterate their selfesteem and desirability, while cutting themselves off from love and happiness. ...How can anyone ultimately care about those who do not care about themselves? Consider people who let themselves grow fat.[ 28 ] Such people have chosen to travel on a death curve [Re: Table 32, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Traveling that route, a person's unhappiness and probability of death increases with increasing fatness. In turn, that route devastates a person's self-esteem and happiness. Certain natural body functions are inconvenient, painful, unpleasant. For example, menstruation and child birth labor are not convenient or pleasant body functions, even though they are completely natural. Such inconvenient or painful body functions should be diminished by any practical, safe means. For example, safe and painless child birth methods are now available. And new menses techniques can conveniently eliminate most of the unpleasant effects of monthly menstruation.

[ 28 ] Many fat people have self-inflicted metabolic problems tha t make permanent weight reduction difficult (even with near-starvation, carbohydrate diets). To effectively lose weight, such people must permanently restrict carbohydrates from their diets via high protein diets (as outlined in Dr. Atkins' book, Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution, McKay). But those high-protein diets are safe only for aerobically fit people as identified in the two footnotes on page 132. [Re: Concept 91, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] Neo-Tech Advantage #59 PHYSICAL FITNESS, DIET, ADDICTIONS People who let themselves physically deteriorate or grow obese lose the capacity for psychuous pleasures from both physical and psychological capacities. Nearly anyone at any age in any physical condition can achieve optimum physical fitness by gradually increasing physical stress with an aerobic-type program totaling less than two hours per week of running, swimming, bicycling, or brisk walking as described in Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper's book, Aerobics.[ 29 ] Permanent, optimum body weight can be achieved through low-carbohydrate diet as described in Dr. Robert C. Atkins' book, Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution[ 30 ]. Both books taken together are major contributions to human health and well-being that deliver attractiveness, vigor, and happiness. A physically fit body is needed to enjoy the full range of psychuous pleasures. The easiest, most efficient way to get and stay in optimum physical condition is to accumulate 30 aerobic points per week according to Dr. Cooper's conditioning system and to eat less than 40 grams of carbohydrate per day according to Dr. Atkins' diet system. (Both books should be read and understood before embarking on the combined aerobic-fitness/low-carbohydrate diet.) A trim, fit body adds a major increment of pleasure to nearly every facet of living, especially to work, romance, and sex. Addictions to sugar, drugs, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine not only undercut physical fitness, personal appearance, personality, and health, but will steadily diminish a person's self-control, self-esteem, and happiness. Such addictions are rampantly common, yet widely unadmitted. Addictions and compulsions also undermine honesty because they constantly require dishonest rationalizations. That dishonesty, in turn, reduces self-esteem, competence, productivity, and psychuous pleasures. ...The Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts provide a powerful philosophical/psychological base for eliminating all mysticisms that promote addictions and compulsions. Contrary to popular opinion, no natural conflict exists between the mind and body (or between the intellect and emotions). By nature, the mind and body are designed to work in beneficial harmony with each other -- and they do when each is used according to its biological nature.[ 31 ] When the mind and body are not used according to their biological natures, then conflict, pain, and damage result. An individual has much more voluntary control over his or her physical and mental health than most people realize. Over the long range, a person has almost total control over his or her emotional and physical well-being. By choosing to consistently use the mind rationally in becoming an honest, productive, independent human being,[ 32 ] a person can control his or her own psychological and physical well-being. Every individual always has the choice to rationally solve problems or to default on that responsibility. Those who chronically default on that selfresponsibility have no way to earn prosperity, self-esteem, psychuous pleasures, romantic love, or abiding happiness. Some knowledge has been developed toward understanding the psychosomatic links between the mind, body, and various ailments. The mind-body links are probably much more significant than currently realized. With advancing medical knowledge about controlling body functions and combining the nervous system with Neo-Tech, people may someday vanquish even cancer and heart disease through the long-range, controlled use of their minds and bodies.[ 33 ] But, little valid information has been published concerning the mind and a person's potential to
control one's well-being. Specific Neothink books on this subject yet to be published include the definitive diet book titled, "The CAS Happiness Diet". That diet eliminates the three most widely used drugs that undermine human life, health, and happiness -- Caffeine, Alcohol, Sugar.

His dietary approach is tailored to the natural carnivorous physiology of human beings. In addition to reaching and maintaining optimum body weight, the low carbohydrate diet can reduce or eliminate the most common forms of chronic fatigue (hypoglycemia or low blood sugar). Dr. Atkins' diet, therefore, can increase a person's capacity for psychuous pleasures and life itself. But because of the high-cholesterol content, Dr. Atkins' diet is recommended only for those becoming and remaining aerobically fit. ...Any high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet cannot be safely separated from aerobic fitness. [ 31 ] Objective human standards must be based on the biological natures of men and women functioning as the human organism is designed to function. By integrating logic with the nature of existence, then the biological function of the mind becomes obvious: to identify and integrate reality so human beings can become self-sufficient and independent (materially, intellectually, psychologically, emotionally). Fulfilling integrated biological needs is necessary to experience the self-worth and competence needed to achieve increasing prosperity, psychuous pleasures, and abiding happiness. [ 32 ] Human beings genuinely prosper only through the rational use of their minds. By dealing logically with reality through integrated thinking, they achieve self-sufficiency and independence by producing values for others. [ 33 ] The consistent rational use of the mind through mystic-free integrated thinking to control the long-range development of one's life is the opposite of the mystics' specious shortcut notions of "mind over matter" or their unintegrated wishful thinking of (1) the mind willing "reality" or (2) others showing them the "truth".
Neo-Tech Advantage #60 MYSTICISM, ALCOHOL, MARIJUANA, SUGAR, AND TOBACCO: EFFECTS ON ROMANTIC LOVE AND PSYCHUOUS SEX Mysticism, alcohol, marijuana, and other reality-distorting agents have both short-range and long-range harmful effects on health and happiness. Even in moderate amounts, mysticism, alcohol, and drugs distort reality. And all distortions of reality are harmful because the human organism depends on accurate perception of reality to be competent, competitive, and to make the non-mystical judgments necessary for prosperous, happy survival. The illusionary values of mysticism, alcohol, and drugs arise from their reality-distorting effects. Indeed drugs, alcohol, and mysticism can feel like old, comfortable, warm friends. But, in the long term, they deliver only harm, incompetence, and unhappiness. And their distortions can initially be so well rationalized that the mystic, the alcohol user, or the drug user can easily choose to remain unaware of the mounting damage until permanent loss of happiness and energy become inescapable. Damage from mysticism, alcohol, and drugs can range from a quick overdose death or suicide, to an unhappy truncated life, to the more subtle psychological and physiological damages that occur even with moderate use of mysticism, alcohol, and drugs. For example, minor indulgences in mysticism can lead to disastrous losses of values. Or even a few alcoholic drinks cause irreversible damage to certain brain cells by a dehydration that causes a sludging together of red blood cells. Such sludging clogs the blood capillaries; thus, the amount of oxygen reaching those brain cells via the minutest capillaries diminishes. Some of those oxygen-starved brain cells die each time that dehydration or sludging occurs. Damaged or destroyed brain cells do not regenerate. Any single occurrence of alcohol brain-cell damage is not measurable. But the effect is cumulative, gradually yielding measurable, permanently damaging effects. Likewise, marijuana disorients the electrical brain patterns to diminish one's quality of thinking and order of priorities. For example, marijuana tends to convert demanding action and ambition into passive dreams and laziness. More serious, that movement from effort and ambition to passivity and dreams may be cumulative. Furthermore, the mystical-dream effects of marijuana destroy competence. Also, investigations by Masters and Johnson show that male marijuana users experience drops in testosterone of 40% and more. Reduced testosterone causes reduced sex drive, an atrophy of male sex organs, a softening of muscle tissue, and a wimpish decrease in aggressiveness. In addition, marijuana can enter the fetuses of pregnant women to possibly influence the sexual development of unborn males; for testosterone is essential to the sexual development of males. ...Drugs such as cocaine and heroin are simply more aggressive forms of suicide. Despite the damaging effects of alcohol and drugs, no rational or moral reason exists for government to restrict, control, or forbid by force the sale or use of alcohol or drugs in any way whatsoever. No one or no government has the right to initiate or threaten force against any individual who is not violating the individual or property rights of others. Individuals have the basic right to do anything with their lives they choose, including damaging themselves by using alcohol and drugs, just as they have the right to damage themselves with sugar, tobacco, religion, promiscuous sex, mysticism, and suicide...so long as they do not initiate threats, force, or fraud against any other individual. Any use of force to accomplish a "good" always, by nature, does much more long-range harm to people and society than any intended good. Moreover, those who use or advocate such force seldom have honest or innocent intentions, no matter what their external appearances. And in using force to prohibit drugs, the enforcers are not only morally wrong, but their policies of force drive drug prices far above their free-market values. Those artificially high prices, in turn, allow organized crime to flourish through the extremely high-profit margins guaranteed by the government enforcers.
Indeed, those government-created, sky-high prices cause the addict to push drugs onto others, especially onto vulnerable children and adolescents. The addicts must push drugs in order to obtain the cash needed to pay for the grossly inflated drugs. Thus, government oppression of individual rights through force creates hundreds of thousands of young, new addicts each year because of anti-drug laws. In addition, the desperate, dying addict will rob, mug, commit mayhem, murder -- he will do anything to raise the money required to buy the governmentinflated drugs. And finally, as during government-enforcd alcohol prohibition three generations ago, the anti-drug laws are by far the greatest boon and source of wealth to organized crime. The government through its power-usurping oppression creates huge, lucrative markets from which organized crime prospers and grows. *** Drugs cause many psychological and physical problems that diminish prosperity, romantic love, and psychuous pleasures [Re: Table 33, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Other diminishers of prosperity and happiness include mystical, religious, and political activities as well as lying, self-lying, praying, promiscuous sex, and the use of tobacco, sugar, and caffeine. Breaking sugar, tobacco, and caffeine habits quickly improves a person's quality of life. A person's self-esteem also significantly increases by eliminating habits that are destructive to the conscious mind and physical body. ...The surest way to stop smoking is to make a nonnegotiable decision to stop smoking completely and forever...and then stop completely and forever without using any crutches such as increased eating, snacking, sweets, sucking Lifesavers, or excessive bragging. A person who uses such crutches will almost always return to smoking sooner or later. The decision to stop must be decisive, irrevocable, uncompromisable, and forever. Likewise, caffeine in coffee, cola, and chocolate is a stimulant drug. Aside from the depressing psychological effects of being controlled by a habit, prolonged and excessive use of caffeine can physically damage parts of the body such as the kidneys and pancreas and can adversely affect carbohydrate metabolism. That, in turn, can add to the damage and unhappiness caused by sugar consumption. Except for mysticism, the most common and destructive drug is the sedative sugar. Indeed, sugar causes more unhappiness, illness, and deaths through body mutilation (obesity), metabolic damage, physical and psychological harm than all other drugs combined. But, the most pervasive and destructive of all diseases is mysticism. In fact, for 3000 years, mysticism has been far more destructive on human life than all the other diseases on this planet combined. Neo-Tech Advantage #61 APHRODISIACS -- NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE Casual sex, mysticism, neocheating, dishonesty, deceptive manipulation, compulsive gambling, hard and soft drugs, tobacco, caffeine, excessive alcohol, sugar, and prayer are long-term, negative aphrodisiacs that undermine self-esteem, romantic love, and psychuous pleasures. Also, folk-lore aphrodisiacs such as Spanish fly, yohimbine, ginseng root, and others have no long-term or physiological aphrodisiac value. The only effective aphrodisiacs are a desirable sexual partner, physical fitness, and the psychological/philosophical conditions of Neo-Tech that allow psychuous pleasures to flourish through the production and exchange of values. Neo-Tech Advantage #62 ROMANTIC LOVE, FREEDOM, AND THE DTC TECHNIQUE Some people try to get involved too quickly in deep romantic relationships. The possible penalties of pressing for deep involvement too quickly include losing a potential romantic-love partner or unnecessarily wasting an irreplaceable portion of one's life by locking into a time-wasting destructive relationship.
Many initial approaches to romantic love are possible: Some start hot and flaming, others start cool and conservatively. But the way a romantic relationship starts is usually unimportant because romantic love evolves through the exchange of mutually beneficial values. Therefore, any initial, honest approach is good and normally does not determine the outcome. ...What determines the success of a relationship is the creation and growth of mutually beneficial values. By applying Neo-Tech/Psychuous Concepts, a person increases his or her Life-Lifting Capacity.[ 34 ] With that capacity, a person can lift a potential, romantic-love partner to new experiences and growth...to levels at which romantic love can move forward through mutual growth. By increasing one's own Life-Lifting Capacity, that person increases his or her skills for developing romantic relationships capable of generating psychuous pleasures and abiding happiness. Paradoxically, only those partners who are free and independent can make honest, long-range commitments to build abiding romantic relationships. Partners involved in romantic relationships can and should avoid authoritybacked commitments to the future. The only commitment between romantic-love partners necessary for success is a commitment to honesty and growth. If a relationship grows out of honest free-choice, the values accumulate naturally. The relationship then increasingly forms a self-chosen permanence. If growth continues, the relationship can gain unbreakable strength and permanence. If growth stops, the relationship can benevolently end with most of the accumulated values retained by each partner. As a result, each partner will have expanded his and her capacity for future relationships. In addition, the benevolent termination of a value-oriented relationship can (if the partners so choose) remain open to possible changes that would allow resumption of growth and the relationship. Since no one does or can know everything, everyone will at times make errors in his or her personal life. A person is particularly susceptible to errors in the initial stages of a relationship because of limited knowledge and experience about the new situation. Certain errors, if unrecognized or left uncorrected, can unnecessarily end a potentially good romantic-love relationship. With explicit knowledge of the Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts, the possibilities of such errors are sharply reduced. And when errors do occur, they are usually quickly corrected by applying the Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts. The need for compromise in a love relationship is a value-diminishing, guilt-generating myth promoted by altruists, egalitarians, theologians, and other neocheaters. With the Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts as a guide, conflicts between partners can be resolved without either partner's best interests being compromised, diminished, or sacrificed. Romantic love never occurs automatically or by chance. Life values are earned through hard, honest efforts. That means constant, conscious efforts orchestrated in full accord with reality. As with all important values, romantic love and psychuous pleasures demand thought, effort, and time to develop. The positive values generated are proportional to the rational thought and honest effort invested. ...Romantic love, as any important personal value, is attained through the DTC technique: Discipline, Thought, and then Control. [Re: Concept 94, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes:
[ 34 ] Life-Lifting Capacity does not mean changing or rem olding another individual to suit one's own desires. LifeLifting Capacity means providing an environment that helps other people discover and fulfill their own unrealized capacities and potential. Neo-Tech Advantage #63 ROMANTIC-LOVE STANDARDS Actions based on standards of other people or "authorities" stifle self-discovery and block the personal and intellectual growth necessary for romantic love and psychuous pleasures. Within romantic love, no action or behavior needs the approval or sanction of anyone beyond the partners themselves. Couples can and should experience any and all nondestructive sexual and nonsexual experiences they mutually desire. As one develops intellectual and emotional character, that person's standards for romantic love rise. But rising standards cause a decline in the percentage of potential partners that could satisfy a romantic relationship. Partly offsetting that percentage decline, however, is personal growth, which increases the opportunities to contact higher-quality, potential partners. Romantic love cannot survive a continually widening disparity of personal growth and character development between partners. For that widening disparity will eventually undermine any romantic-love relationship. A widening disparity between partners eventually generates reactions of inadequacy, jealousy, possessiveness, even envy in the less developed partner -- and resentment, dissatisfaction, or disinterest in the more developed partner. Romantic-love relationships, however, can grow and flourish even if wide differences exist in creative or other abilities between partners. The key is growth: Disparity itself is not important if it does not widen -- if both partners are creating and sharing growth. [Re: Concept 95, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] Also, romanticlove relationships can flourish even with great differences in personalities. ...Growing values and attraction in romantic love arise from character growth and development, not from personality traits. These as all values evolve from DTC -- Discipline, Thought, and then Control. Neo-Tech Advantage #64 THREE SEGMENTS OF ROMANTIC LOVE A romantic-love relationship has three segments: 1. Fundamental Basis 2. Man-Woman Relationship 3. Future Potential Those three segments are identified below: SEGMENT # 1 Fundamental Basis The Fundamental Basis is the starting point of all relationships. That starting point is the similarity of both partners' views of life and their underlying philosophical premises. Without that base of philosophical harmony, no solid ground for mutual development of a value-oriented, romantic-love relationship would exist. Forming and building a fundamental base is not a process of creating, but one of discovering mutual values, ideas, and thoughts already held. This segment of romantic love is usually the fastest, easiest aspect of the relationship to identify and establish. But discovering the infinite depth and full nature of one's partner is an exciting, life-long, unfolding process. Most of the fundamental, philosophical links between two people can usually be recognized early in the relationship. Unfortunately, one's fundamental basis is relatively easy to fake. Faking one's fundamental self to attract a love partner, however, is a disastrous error that will eventually be paid for in lost
love, lost time, reduced self-esteem, diminished happiness, and a dimmed future, especially for the one doing the faking. SEGMENT #2 Man-Woman Relationship In order to establish a growing, long-range relationship, each partner must understand the ideas that the other holds about man-woman relationships. In order for both partners to work effectively toward creating a relationship, they must first identify the basis and nature of their own relationship. The Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts identify the basis for man-woman relationships designed to yield growth, psychuous pleasures, and happiness. SEGMENT #3 Future Potential A romantic-love relationship moves forward with motivation and anticipation through a vision of future values, benefits, and happiness. The potential of a love relationship is a function of: a. The nature of the relationship. b. Each partner's rate and direction of evolvement or development. c. The amount of rational thought and effort each partner keeps putting into the relationship. Neo-Tech Advantage #65 TWO TYPES OF ROMANTIC-LOVE RELATIONSHIPS Two types of romantic-love relationships exist: Type A Working Jointly Toward Major Experiences and Goals One partner works through the other more creative or active partner in climbing to increasing levels of accomplishment. Both partners share the rewards according to the values that each contribute. The more productive, creative, efficient, one partner becomes, the greater are the benefits and growth opportunities for the other partner. In turn, that partner then grows to become increasingly valuable to the other partner. Each partner benefits greatly from such a combined working/growing relationship. And such a relationship is mutually advantageous even when major differences in productivity, creativity, or energy exist between partners. (A difference in productivity does not imply a difference in personal character.) In such a joint-working relationship, even wide differences in productivity and creativity do not threaten the relationship, so long as growing values are being exchanged between the partners. A joint-working relationship has the outstanding advantage not only of the partners sharing much larger portions of their lives, but of the partners living their lives more intensely together. ...They are living integrally together before, during, and after work, everyday. They move on their goals, careers, essences, integrated thinking, and happiness together. They can each be more effective, efficient, and happier working together than working separately. They can become major, irreplaceable, growing values to each other. Type B Working Separately Toward Major Experiences and Goals Each partner can pursue independent routes toward separate careers or goals. And each can benefit from such a relationship by the cross-sharing of experiences, emotions, and rewards of their separate experiences and
accomplishments. The separate-working relationship need be neither threatening nor competitive for either partner, but rather can be a continuous source of pleasures and enrichment not available to either partner alone. Both A and B type relationships offer unlimited opportunities for personal growth and happiness. In such valueproducing relationships, each partner knows either implicitly or explicitly that intimacy, pleasures, and happiness in a relationship arise from sharing personal growth, not from possessing or owning one another. Neo-Tech Advantage #66 INDIVIDUAL UNIQUENESS AND PERSONAL WORTH People are not equal in value or worth. Only in the rights to their own lives and property are people equal. Those and only those rights are inalienable for all human beings. By nature, no one has an automatic or natural right to anything else in life. Moreover, beyond the equality of individual or property rights, nothing is, can, or should be equal between human beings. Profound differences exist among people in their self-made qualities such as character development, earned skills, self-worth, extrinsic worth, aspects of intelligence, self-esteem, life-lifting capacity, psychuous-pleasures capacity. The "average individual" does not exist. Each individual is unique. Average characteristics are a statistical tool that cannot be applied to any individual. So many variables are involved in an individual's character, physical structure, and psychological makeup that no individual can possibly be an average person. Moreover, no average psychology or lifestyle exists. In fact, all rational psychologies have a "random-walk" capacity for delivering happiness. That means that every rational, productive individual has the same capacity for earning abiding happiness regardless of intelligence, psychology, or job status. Abiding happiness is possible to the extent that a person rejects mysticism in utilizing the mind to think rationally and in exerting the effort to live fully. Each adult stands uniquely separate and alone on his or her honesty, character, and earned worth. In dealing with anyone in a relationship (especially a romantic relationship), a person's honesty, character, and self-earned values count above all else. And earned values always determine one's self-esteem and happiness despite the constant efforts by politicians, media journalists, cartoonists, social "intellectuals" and other neocheaters to use nonearned characteristics such as face, skin, sex, age, race, nationality, or family background to praise, pay off, judge, or condemn people. Constant exposure to the anti-individualistic myths pushed by professional mystics and neocheaters diminish one's ability to honestly judge character and earned worth. Recognition of an individual's earned worth is the cornerstone of justice and essential for romantic love and psychuous pleasures. People who choose mystical lives and destructive "careers" (such as politicians, theologians, and criminals) experience continuously decreasing self-esteems along with diminishing capacities for happiness and pleasures. Every person does, however, have the capacity to change personally by rejecting all forms of mysticism to become an honest, strong, productive individual able to achieve growing prosperity, abiding happiness, and psychuous pleasures. Neo-Tech Advantage #67 CAPACITY TO CHANGE People are capable of change...of changing their lives, character, attitudes, views, and actions. To be real, however, such changes must occur through one's own choices motivated by one's own desires and self-interest. Basic changes can never be successfully imposed on anyone, not even by a person's love partner. Changes accomplished by force, threat, coercion, or pressure are not genuine changes, but are pretenses or changes in external appearance designed to deceive, relieve pressures, or to avoid threatened consequences. Such feigned changes are never positive and always lead to harmful consequences.
Positive changes always require honest, self-directed efforts. Through ongoing character development, a person can become triggered to integrate new information quickly. That integration can cause significant, rapid changes in attitudes. If a person is unable or unwilling to act on valid new information, then efforts directed toward changing that person will fail. That does not mean untriggered persons cannot eventually change. But, if they do, the change will be by their own choice and pace. Avoiding Disguised Mystics Integrated awareness is needed to identify and avoid partners whose lives are dominated by mysticism, especially disguised mysticism. Two types of mystics exist: (1) Mystics who project their problems and disorders onto others. Such mystics are often characterized by their paranoid use of non sequiturs to blame others for their own problems. (2) Closet mystics who inwardly hurt themselves by undermining values that enter their lives. Ironically, such mystics are often characterized by cluttered closets that reflect the hidden disorder they create in their personal lives. A disorderly closet may indicate a mystically dominated personal life that drains the lives of others. Both types of mystics create problems where none exist. Both are incompatible with romantic love. And either will eventually destroy any value-based relationship. Yet, Neo-Tech can cure any type of mysticism (the stupidness disease) to yield competent lives filled with growing prosperity, happiness, and romantic-love. Neo-Tech Advantage #68 1. FINDING ROMANTIC PARTNERS 2. BYPASSING SHYNESS Finding the right partner with whom to experience psychuous pleasures and romantic love is one of life's most important responsibilities. Opportunities to discover a potential, life-long romantic partner exist everywhere. But unplanned approaches diminish one's chances of securing the best possible romantic-love partner. [Re: Table 35, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] Every lonely person should remember that meeting a suitable partner to build abiding love and happiness needs only one connection, one meeting, one social function, one planned effort...and any time could be that one time. Until a person finds that right romantic partner, he or she should never stop searching for that person with whom to share and build values, love, and happiness. To give up searching would be to give up on life itself. And finding that one person makes all efforts worthwhile. When one bemoans the unhappiness or falseness of guests at a social gathering, that person is often projecting his or her own feelings of unhappiness or falseness onto people who may not be that way at all. But, by looking past one's own mystical complaints, a person can usually generate self-benefiting values from most social circumstances, even if the people encountered hold values and life styles different from one's own. Still, a person must be selective to protect one's time. One must not let valuable, irreplaceable segments of life be consumed by those who waste time, retard personal growth, or work against one's best interests. But when unavoidably cast into a situation with undesirable people, a person alert with Neo-Tech knowledge can usually salvage valuable new insights. Whenever possible, however, a person should promptly exit from situations that waste time. Bypassing Shyness Feelings of social incompetence are generally unfounded. Such feelings are often caused by falsely negative views about one's self or mystical views about others. When a person becomes aware of and scraps those false views, the feelings of social incompetence diminish and often vanish.
An effective way to bypass shyness, nervousness, and feelings of social incompetence is by intense listening with full-focus awareness on the speaker. Not only does such attention elicit friendly reactions from the speaker to the listener, but intense listening increases the listener's ability to communicate and articulate. Intense listening is also a valuable tool to evaluate potential partners for romantic love. Possibilities for contacting potential, romantic-love partners increase proportionately with the number of approaches made toward potential partners. Many opportunities for discovering romantic-love partners are lost by people who fear what others may think of them for trying to "pick up" people to whom they are attracted. Even more opportunities are lost through inaction caused by fear of rejection. In finding the best romantic-love partner, a person must be free and forward in approaching potential partners. That includes all approaches from a self-introduction to a media ad or a bold pickup by either the man or the woman. Through fear of rejection, many people lose valuable opportunities to discover romantic partners within whom the supreme values of psychuous pleasures and romantic love reside. That fear of contacting others dissipates on realizing the nature of rejections: Most rejections stem simply from unavailability. And many other rejections arise from inadequacies within the person doing the rejecting. Such rejections are not personal rebuffs, but actually serve as valuable sorting processes that allow the quick elimination of unpromising prospects with a minimum loss of time. Relying on Natural Beauty Those who rely on natural beauty or physical attractiveness to control love situations are generally unsuitable for romantic love. For usually they ignore the efforts and disciplines needed to develop capacities to receive or deliver romantic love and psychuous pleasures [Re: Concept 90, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Those who respond to one's initial, natural approach often make the best prospects for romantic partners. For that reason, a person must freely express his or her unique, natural self from the start in order for the selection process to work effectively in uncovering the best potential romantic-love partners. Many people erroneously think that seeking potential romantic partners at social functions designed for that purpose (e.g., singles dances, clubs, introduction services, Parents Without Partners) is somehow degrading. But the opposite is the fact. People who value themselves and their happiness will resist mystically acting on such false feelings. Instead, they will place a high priority on those activities that will improve their chances of discovering the best-possible, life-long, romantic-love partner. The value of romantic love is far too important for leaving to random chance. Instead, a person must put the discovering of a life-long partner under one's own direct control. One must exert organized, rational efforts to find the love partner with whom the greatest values can be exchanged. That direct-action approach contrasts with the mystical approach of those who count on random chance, a white knight, or someone else to deliver the values of love and happiness to them. ...To gain and keep a value as great as romantic love requires constant discipline, hard integrated thinking, and consistent high-energy effort. Why Everyone Is Not Handsome Most animals evolve to near their perfect physical appearance. But conscious beings do not because those without natural beauty can choose to work harder to develop their character and competence to higher levels. Thus, some people with less natural beauty work harder to develop superior characters. They do that to compete better in attracting mates for psychuous pleasures and reproduction. By contrast, many of those endowed with natural beauty lack the same competitive pressures to work harder to develop character and competence. Thus, because certain people without natural beauty make themselves more competitive, they remain well represented throughout the evolutionary stream. In fact, they tend to rise above the naturally beautiful people in
power, intellectual attractiveness, and sexual desirability. Those dynamics are why (1) naturally beautiful people can be found among the less evolved and (2) unhandsome people can be found among the highest levels of evolvement. Thus, unlike other animals, nature's drive for physical perfection is not a controlling evolutionary force in man. Indeed, man-controlled intelligent actions can outcompete nature-controlled, physical appearances not only for reproduction and survival, but for prosperity, happiness, and romantic lov Neo-Tech Advantage #69 SHYNESS -- CAUSES AND CURES Shyness reduces contact and chances with potential romantic-love partners. But shyness is easily overcome once the problem is identified. [Re: Table 36, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia identifies five types of shyness and lists ways to reduce or eliminate each type.] In addition, the constant misunderstanding of a uniquely different individual may cause that person to withdraw and become a loner. That aloneness may create an erroneous image that such a person is shy or a bore when neither is true. A major step toward eliminating shyness is the acceptance of one's own self. To do that, one must realize that no "model" person exists with whom anyone needs to emulate or identify with in order to be healthy, happy, or successful [Re: Concept 96, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. ...A person bypasses shyness by being one's own self in guiltlessly, proudly producing rational, competitive val ues in any way he or she chooses, regardless of what others may say or think. A shy person is seldom a bore. A bore is a person who is silly, uninteresting, or uncomfortable to another person. Often being a bore to a particular person is merely the result of that particular person's reactions. Such reactions depend on individual values and standards. Some people can be boring to certain people, but exciting to others. For example, Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci, E instein, John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison while being very exciting to each other and other genuine value producers, probably would have bored or, more accurately, threatened the profoundly dishonest, pseudo self-esteems of Stalin, Hitler, FDR, Mao, Ralph Nader, Charles Manson, Pol Pot. Conversely, quasi-dead, destructive people who habitually live through distorted (mystical) "realities" will by nature bore productive individuals who live throug h objective reality. Neo-Tech Advantage #70 EQUALITY OF MEN AND WOMEN DIVISION OF LABOR CONCEPT The human mind is neuter. Men and women have equal capacity for intellectual development, character development, integral honesty, self-esteem, physical fitness, psychuous pleasures, romantic love, and abiding happiness. But physiological differences as well as psychological differences exist between men and women. Those differences must be recognized in order to function effectively -- to function as a human male or female is intended to function -- to function as an honest, rational, conscious being. [Re: Table 37, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia, illustrates the important physical and psychological differences between men and women.] Those differences cannot be considered good or bad, better or worse, or by any other label. They are just differences in their natures. But the differences are real. Thus, they must be recognized and dealt with as reality. The feminist movement ignores or rejects the psychological differences and often even ignores the physiological differences between man and woman. That evasion of reality is reflected by the feminists' irrational, destructive demands for government-enforced "equality". The often misunderstood division-of-labor concept is central to all beneficial relationships, ranging from individual man-woman romantic relationships to mutually beneficial employer-employee relationships involving thousands of people. Next to their attacks on individual rights through the use of government force, the most harmful
neocheating manipulations by feminist leaders are their attacks on the voluntary division-of-labor concept. Some feminists advocate eliminating the division-of-labor dynamic from man-woman relationships. They demand, for example, that all jobs, chores, and activities be shared equally. Those feminists and other neocheating egalitarians want to use government force to reduce value producers to the level of value destroying mystics and neocheaters. Most other people desire and happily use the division of labor to their mutual advantages. Indeed, the most fair, efficient way to exchange values for desired values is through division of labor. Even the traditional trade in which the man earns money while the woman makes an efficient home and living atmosphere is a valid, proper trade that can greatly benefit each, if each mutually agrees to and desires such a trade. For what reason would a feminist or anyone else attack two people who agree to what they want to do with their own personal selves and lives? One reason is that such feminists are neocheaters using the tool of guilt to undermine values in order to usurp power and values earned by others. But, romantic-love partners responding to feminist demands for equality of actions (rather than for each partner offering the other his or her separately developed values), eventually eliminate happiness from their relationships. For equality of actions pushes love partners toward inefficient, restricted petty relationships in which mutual growth fades and love dies. Women functioning in any of the following three categories can achieve psychuous pleasures, romantic love, and abiding happiness: 1. Self-sufficient, commercially productive[ 35 ] career women can easily experience the full-range of psychuous pleasures and romantic love. 2. Genuinely productive housewives or mothers who contribute significantly to increasing the commercial productivity of their husbands and the value potentials of their children can also experience growing psychuous pleasures and romantic love. But they, as with men, must always keep developing their intellectual and productive capacities. Women most naturally succeed in this category. 3. Women actively seeking growth by becoming knowledgeable or proficient in artistic, cultural, or recreational areas (such as art, music, literature, dance, sports) can experience growing romantic relationships. But such relationships will not continue to grow unless the woman passes the amateur stage to eventually become commercially productive and self-sufficient in that or another area. Only a tiny percentage of women succeed in this category. In most societies, more men than women are commercially productive. More men than women, therefore, have the potential for experiencing psychuous pleasures and growing romantic-love relationships. That disparity works against the happiness of both men and women. Thus, both men and women benefit as more and more females enter the romantic-love marketplace by becoming competitive net value producers inside the home, outside the home, or both. The worst aspect of the feminist movement and other so-called "rights" movements is their advocating legislated government force or coercion to violate individual and property rights of others. All professional mystics and neocheating leaders require force or deception to survive by parasitically filling their needs. And those needs are usually disguised as "noble" ends. But no matter how noble sounding the end, it can never justify the means of force against any individual. Institutionalized initiation of force against individuals for any reason is categorically wrong, immoral, and diminishes the well-being and happiness of everyone. Government policies and laws backed by force have always been the major instrument for denying women their individual rights. So what about those legions of feminists advocating that same legislated government force to achieve women "rights" by violating rights of others? They diminish everyone's rights and well-being. Such use of
government force was vigorously promoted even by early feminists such as Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910) who was responsible for tough, anti-prostitution laws that only increased government use of force to oppress both men and women. Moreover, Blackwell's guilt-laden, anti-sex, anti-masturbation writings were subsequently promoted by the Catholic church. Her writings led to the heavy masturbation guilt that still hangs over most women...a guilt that has deprived countless millions of women of healthy sexual development.

Neo-Tech Advantage #71 "CAREER" HOUSEWIFE AND HAVING CHILDREN VERSUS ACHIEVING "GREATNESS" Most "career" housewives experience diminishing sexual pleasures and happiness. Why do such declines of happiness occur? Because such women limit their personal growth by letting their intellectual and productivity potentials remain under challenged in being full-time housewives. To experience psychuous pleasures and abiding happiness, a person must fulfill his or her potential. That means becoming independent -- materially, intellectually, and emotionally. Today, such independence usually evolves from productive jobs or careers. And today, with the many domestic labor-saving conveniences, a housewife "career" is generally too unchallenging to provide the self-esteem, independence, and growth needed to experience the full range of happiness available from life. But, exceptions exist in which being a housewife is a challenging life-time management profession delivering full self-esteem, happiness, and romantic love. Historical examples are the wives of the American pioneers and frontiersmen. Examples today include the partner-wives of super-productive entrepreneurs, businessmen, farmers, scientists, and other hard-driving producers. Another potential area for undermining happiness is having children, especially before achieving financial independence. Children can shrink the potential for career success, romantic happiness, and psychuous pleasures of both partners for two decades or more. Often the birth of children means the end of growth and happiness for the couple. And the parents' loss of growth and happiness can damage the well-being of their innocent child or children. Often when personal growth is ended by the burden of children, the parents' view of the future shifts to a downhill direction. Their lives then begin shrinking toward aging and death. But if parents fail their responsibility to properly raise their children into productive independent adults, those children become the victims of their parents' moral default. As with any uncorrected moral default, those parents responsible will suffer damaging consequences to their self-esteems and happiness. Neo-Tech oriented couples would not have children until they were in a financial and maturity position to conceive a child as a net-happiness asset, rather than a draining task. Such couples almost always have greater capacities to love both life and their children than those who thoughtlessly or prematurely have children to "secure" the marriage, to meet the expectations of others, or other unhealthy reasons.
Romantic love and psychuous pleasures can still be achieved for couples who have children if they fully meet their responsibilities to both their children and to themselves. With children, the goal of building happiness and romantic love becomes more difficult and challenging. But if successful, a romantic relationship with the uniquely valuable experience of children can be even more rewarding than a romantic-love relationship without children. With children, increasing romantic happiness can be accomplished only after accepting a nonmartyr, fullresponsibility role in preparing one's children for productive, independent lives. At the same time, one must always hold the romantic-love relationship, not the children, as the primary value. In any case, having and raising children is a unique, profound life experience. And children can develop characters that yield major, long-range values to their parents, especially as the years go by. ...Well-evolved children can yield magnificent values. Rationally bearing and raising Neo-Tech oriented children can yield a bonanza of values available from no other life experience. Financially secure, emotionally mature couples can genuinely desire the unique, value-generating experience of having children. Thus, they can rationally choose to bear and raise children without sacrificing or diminishing their careers, romantic love, or long-range happiness. Raising competent children oriented around Neo-Tech can be rewarding beyond any other life experience, except romantic love. If the market for technology and research were free from government interference, genetically controlled, flawfree babies would probably be routine in a decade or less. Moreover, externally produced babies could forever free women from the incapacitation, pain, physical damage, and life-threatening dangers of childbirth. That technology could also reduce childhood diseases and eliminate birth defects. Externally produced, genetically controlled babies would also allow selection of sex and certain characteristics that would provide the maximum advantages to their children. Still, the key traits can develop only through the volitional choices of each living, conscious child. For example, personality, character, and integrity are traits that evolve from the personal choice of each individual to be honest or dishonest, nonmystical or mystical, responsible or irresponsible, a value producer or a value destroyer. *** Except to one's own self and dependent children, no one owes duties to anyone (including one's spouse, siblings, or parents) or to anything (including society, the government, the church, or to any other "higher" cause). The prime moral duty is to develop one's own potential to achieve abiding happiness through competitive value production. Beyond that prime responsibility to be a net value producer in order to earn happiness, a person's only other moral duty is to support and develop one's own children into honest, nonmystical, self-sufficient adults. That duty includes teaching children to objectively identify facts in full context and to live competently by rejecting all forms of mysticism, dishonesty, and neocheating. Parents must, above all, teach their children to identify and avoid the disease of mysticism and its gaggle of neocheaters. Those children are then free to develop into independent, self-sufficient adults capable of achieving unlimited prosperity, psychuous pleasures, and abiding happiness. Properly caring for and rearing children to become honest, self-sufficient adults is a moral responsibility and duty of the parents. That duty is assumed from the parent's chosen act of procreation, for which the children are not responsible. Thus, parents have no right to place future claims or obligations on their children. Likewise, after children develop into self-sustaining, independent beings, the moral responsibilities and obligatory duties end for the parents. ***
Compared to men, few women have directly achieved greatness in the major areas of human accomplishment (e.g., arts, sciences, philosophy, music, business, industry, medicine, law). Those differences in achievement are not due to inherent or biological differences between men and women, but rather such differences are due to (1) women being more involved in the restricting tasks of raising children, and (2) the cultural, legal, mystical, and neocheating oppression of women that has occurred throughout most of recorded history [Re: Tables 38-39, NeoTech Reference Encyclopedia]. Few men attained greatness in any area of human achievement during the 1000-year Dark Ages. For, during that time, the church oppressed everyone's intellectual and productive capacities. Likewise, few women have achieved greatness during their cultural dark ages that existed throughout most of recorded history. In recent years, however, radical changes have occurred to eliminate most differences in oppression between men and women. Those changes have occurred through the relentless, rational pressures of business and free enterprise, not through coercions of government, the feminists, or the non sequiturs of neocheating theologians, journalists, professors, and politicians. Today, women in the Western World have essentially the same freedom and opportunity as men to develop their commercial values in most areas of human activity. But many women are by choice not exercising their new freedoms and opportunities. Thus, many women are failing to exploit their potentials for financial prosperity, psychuous pleasures, growing romantic love, and abiding happiness. Divorced men and widowers are generally more desired or sought after by the opposite sex than are divorced women and widows. Aside from population statistics that somewhat favor men, no intrinsic or natural reason for that difference in desirability exists. The main difference is that, compared to women, men generally are and remain more productive in their jobs and careers and thus have more values and life to offer. By contrast, mandominated housewives living as toys, pets, or servants generally have indulged themselves with mysticism instead of developing their characters, abilities, and talents. Thus, they have fewer values and less life to offer. On the other hand, men and women of equivalent character and value development would have equal worth and desirability as value-oriented, romantic-love partners. Neo-Tech Advantage #72 POTENTIAL OF WOMEN FROM 1300 BC THROUGH TODAY Women hold great potential for gaining economic and cultural power throughout the world. But their potential is undermined by politicians, feminists, and other value destroyers who use the government to force their egalitarian equalities on others. Indeed, to survive without producing competitive values for others, professional neocheaters and mystics must use force, deception, and mysticism to usurp their destructive livelihoods from others. And physically weaker women are the easiest targets for their destructions. Thus, professional mystics and neocheaters more easily subject women to injustices and abuses to usurp power and values.[ 36 ] For that reason, throughout recorded history, women have suffered greater oppression than have men as illustrated on the following pages: OPPRESSION OF WOMEN SINCE 1300 BC Ancient Greece 1300 B.C. - 450 B.C. Homeric women (1300 B.C.-1100 B.C.) were relatively free and exercised considerable influence over men. But all women were subjected to double standards -- legal and sexual. Enlightened Greece 450 B.C. - 27 B.C.
Courtesans held the highest positions of individual rights and personal respect available to women. Wives held the lowest position and were considered as housekeepers with few if any rights. High-class prostitutes or courtesans were held superior to virtuous women and wives. Roman Empire 27 B.C. - 385 A.D. With increased economic freedom, the drive for individual freedom brought new rights and respect for women. Oppression by mystics and conservatives decreased. Double standards diminished. Drive for women's liberation and equality. As today, Roman feminists who advocated use of government controls and force to accomplish their ends failed in the long run by establishing the conditions for the increased oppression of women. Decline of the Roman Empire 100 A.D. - 385 A.D. The spreading altruistic influence of Christianity began stripping women of their individual rights and subjecting them to new, heavy oppressions while leading the civilized Western World toward asceticism and anti-sexual attitudes. Christianity plunged Rome into asceticism, causing massive destruction and suffering. Women lost almost all rights with rising Christian power. ...Today, ominous parallels are developing with rising fundamentalist, bornagain, anti-porn/anti-abortion movements. Rise of Christianity 385 A.D. - 1000 A.D. The Western World sank into the Dark Ages as women were pushed to their lowest position in recorded history. They had no individual or legal rights. The Church considered women as subhuman. In fact, the Roman Catholic Church considered women as wasteful property who could be killed, beaten, tortured, ravished or forced into slavery with impunity by theologians and "devout" noblemen. Catholic bishops argued that women did not have mortal souls and that women were pieces of wasteful property. The Roman Catholic church sanctioned wife-beating. Killing a woman was not a very serious offense. Noblemen had the natural "right" to ravish any peasant woman. Pre-Renaissance 1000 - 1300 The rise of courtly love and the de-emphasis of the Catholic Church began elevating women to emotional partners more equal to men. Respect and admiration for women increased with increased economic activity. But women still had few individual or legal rights. Extreme double standards were still practiced. A new man-woman relationship developed that was previously unknown to Western civilization. Women gained respect and admiration. Courtly love elevated women from child bearers and lust satisfiers to more equal partners with men. The Church vs. the Renaissance 1300 - 1500 The Church fought viciously to stop the rising new concepts of romantic love, happy man-woman relationships, and pleasurable sex. Pope Innocent VIII started the inquisitions and witch trials. Millions of innocent women were killed, tortured, and burned to death by the Roman Catholic Church. But the growing enlightenment of the
Renaissance with spreading economic freedoms began liberating the human mind and reason from the dark, brutal mysticism of Christian theology. Renaissance noblemen equated women to beauty and good. The church fought back by promoting the "evils" of women and witchcraft. They advocated hanging "evil" women by their thumbs, twisting ropes around their heads, pushing needles under their nails, and pouring boiling oil on their feet in the "devout hope" of forcing confessions of their "wickedness". The Roman Catholic church then proceeded to burn to death tens of thousands of innocent women. The Puritans 1500 - 1700 With increasing economic activity, the Puritans rejected the Church's hatred of women, sex, and happiness. They accepted the normality of sex, pleasure, and happiness. Women's rights greatly improved under Puritanism. Women could divorce. They gained property and inheritance rights. Marriage became a civil contract. The Age of Reason 1700 - 1800 Men respected women for their minds and intellectual development. People involved in business began scrapping the gloom and hatred of Christianity and its idea that women were evil. Yet, women were still held as subservient to men. The rationalists rejected the malevolence of Christianity. But women were often considered as ornaments, toys, or nitwits. Pre- and Early Victorianism 1800 - 1850 Slobbering sensitivity became the ideal. Men sought shy, virginal women. The togetherness concept developed. Glorification of "pure" women was a pretext for a desperate last attempt by neocheating conservatives and the Church to subjugate women as servants of men. A great increase in double standards occurred under the guise of "moral" standards. Women lost considerable individual freedom. Men grew shy and sought "pure" women. Virginal-type women were "glorified" and idealized. But that "morality" was only a new pretext for the continued subjugation of women by men. The U. S. Surgeon General, Dr. William Hammond, issued the warning that decent women should not feel the slightest pleasure during sexual intercourse. Many doctors considered sexual desire in women to be pathological. But women began revolting against their "purified" and "glorified" status. The Decline of Religion and Victorianism via the Rise of Capitalism and the Emancipation of Women 1850 - 1900 Capitalistic economics undermined the oppressive customs of the past and broke the unjust, feudal hierarchy of the social classes. Capitalism crippled the influence of the Church. Capitalism created the atmosphere and pressure for female suffrage, individual rights, divorce reform, and equal legal and economic rights. Victorianism was a desperate delaying action against increasing honesty, individuality, justice, earned equality, and rising economic freedoms. With the rise of capitalism, women gained significant economic rights for the first time since the anti-Christian, pagan Roman Empire. Capitalism broke the stifling, unjust religious/feudal-class patterns. A new optimism and cheerful happiness rose among the middle class. Capitalistic economics greatly accelerated the collapse of
hypocritical snobbishness, racism, artificial social ties, and oppressive religious and social customs. The rigid Victorian home was threatened by increasing economic freedom for females, divorce reforms, and free-choice love. Victorianism was a last-stand action by the conservatives and the church against the inevitable, liberating changes caused by capitalism and a prosperous, industrial civilization. The Emergence of 20th-Century Romantic Love 1900 - 1960 Flourishing commerce among individuals, especially in America, discarded the anti-sexual, Victorian-Christian ethics. Double standards diminished with more equal educational, economic, legal, and sexual rights for women. Birth control and abortion rights were promoted. Capitalism liberated women and minorities by valuing all individuals according to their objective worth rather than to their sex, beliefs, social status, or race. Women increasingly became equal to men in romantic relationships. Love patterns of all societies were drawn to the free and honest capitalistic style of Western love, which combined sexuality, affectionate friendship, productive work, and family functions...all into a single, equal-partner relationship. The modern, capitalistgenerated, sexual revolution demolished most of the Christian-Victorian patterns of anti-sexual, patriarchal oppressiveness. Modern Romantic Love 1960 - Present The sexual revolution broke the last vestiges of inequalities between men and women. But today, renewed oppression of individual rights has begun to rise ominously with the feminist and religious movements against pornography and abortion. Those movements are inspired by neocheating authorities seeking unearned power. Still, the majority of women have not fully exercised their new freedoms and rights. Many neocheating feminist leaders seek unearned gains through government coercion and force. And that force will boomerang to increasingly subjugate the rights of all women...and men.[ 37 ] Individual freedom that naturally evolves from capitalism made possible modern romantic love and the liberation of women. For, the capitalistic free market put values on individuals according to their objective worth rather than their sex, social status, or race. Women can now be fully independent. But having gained the freedom for equality, many women fear that equality might be too risky or challenging, or require too much independence or effort, or cost them the chance for love. Such women often buy "security" and "love" at the price of remaining unequal, unfulfilled, unhappy all their adult lives. Today, men and women have essentially the same educational and economic opportunities. But many women in developed societies have no careers beyond the home. Thus, they deny their basic human need to develop competence and self-sufficiency. That need for competence and independence is fulfilled by pursuing productive work in challenging careers. Future Romantic Love Two approaches to life are open: (1) The neocheater's approach of using force-backed government or deceitbased religion to drain values from others, or (2) the producer's approach of using integrated honesty and free markets to deliver competitive values wanted by others and society. That second approach obviates force, coercion, fraud in allowing all men and women equally to pursue prosperity, romantic love, and abiding happiness. Despite feminist claims, nothing today prevents women from realizing their potentials. The battle is not for women's rights, minority rights, black rights -- the battle is and always has been for individual rights. When individual rights are fully protected, then everyone's rights are protected.
Most feminists diminish the potential for all women by trying to usurp unearned economic or money gains through government force or coercion in violating the rights of others. Such tactics are morally wrong and destructive to all individuals. And in the long run, those tactics succeed only in giving government more power to oppress everyone -- especially women. While stridently expressing goals of liberation and freedom, most feminist policies deny freedom of choice, voluntary division of labor, and open competition. Those policies reveal a fear of freedom, competition, integrated thinking, and self-responsibility. Such dishonest, double-speak contradictions of demanding freedom while actually attacking freedom via government force are also common in "liberation" or "rights" movements of various Black, consumer, and environmental groups. Such groups demand benefits and "freedoms" via government force while reducing their own and everyone else's freedom. Government laws backed by force have always been the mechanism that eventually oppressed women [Re: Section Four, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. The genuine liberation of women occurred during those rare, historic periods during which the reason and logic of individual freedom gained influence over the dishonesty and mysticism of government and religious oppression. Those liberating periods were the Golden Age of Greece, the Renaissance, and the greatest, most profoundly moral period of all: the free-enterprise phase of the Industrial Revolution. In free-enterprise capitalism, the influences of reason, honesty, effort, productivity, and voluntary individual choice count for everything, while the influences of mysticism, dishonesty, racism, social status, and the use of force are dismissed as nothing. ...The causal relationship of reason and capitalism to freedom and prosperity for women is clear. In attempting to establish credibility, feminists promote and publicize certain "famous" women of history as heroines. Some of those women were honest, value producers who contributed to human well-being. But most of those feminist "heroines" were demagogues and neocheaters who agitated for more government force to make individuals conform to their wishes or demands. In their promotion of "great women", most feminists hypocritically ignore one of the greatest benefactors to human life and champions of individual rights. That person was a woman. She was one of the most profound thinkers and writers, male or female, of all time. She was a world-famous novelist and the most important philosopher since Aristotle. Her name: Ayn Rand. Why do most feminists ignore Ayn Rand? Because she intellectually refuted their concepts of mysticism, initiatory force, and government coercion to achieve ends. More important, she clearly identified the immorality of such approaches, thus repudiating the core of most feminist movements and methods. Also, Ayn Rand identified that the only proper moral issue is individual rights...not women's rights, black rights, or any other such "rights" or causes. For such causes are largely designed to support neocheaters. The feminists' rejection of Ayn Rand not only underscores their intellectual dishonesty, but demonstrates that their movement is not interested in individual rights. Instead, they are interested in usurping power, values, advantages, and bogus livelihoods through the spurious neocheating gimmick of women's rights. Because of their disregard for individual rights in their demands for government coercion or force, feminist movements bring, in the long run, only further government oppression of women. Indeed, that oppression is already recurring with, for example, the anti-abortion and anti-pornography movements. And finally, most feminists stridently attack women's greatest benefactor and liberator -- free-enterprise capitalism. Furthermore, many feminists actually support the prime causes for oppression of women -government and religion. In fact, some feminists remain active members of the most virulently anti-women, patriarchal organization ever contrived by man -- the Roman Catholic Church. Such feminists work against the well-being of all women and all individuals.

[ 37 ] Women who usurp feminist-inspired, unearned values are heading back toward dependence...toward being taken care of and eventually subjugated by men. In essence, the feminist movement is designed to coerce productive people into taking care of protesting women. The inevitable results are opposite the goals of freedom declared by feminist neocheaters. And those same ploys are destructively used by politicians to usurp "freedom" for blacks and other minorities. Indeed, the more unearned values usurped by the neocheating feminists and politicians, the more their recipient clients move toward dependence and subjugation. ...Neocheaters transfer values from the earned to the unearned while harming everyone, especially those they claim to help. Neo-Tech Advantage #73 THE NATURE OF EMOTIONS AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY The Nature of Emotions 1.
Emotions are neither good nor bad and are not subject to moral judgments, no matter how irrational or "bad sounding" they may seem. ...Only actions can be judged as good or bad, moral or immoral. 2. All emotions, no matter how irrational or how deeply repressed, are a real part of a person and need to be recognized, acknowledged, and guiltlessly accepted. 3. Each repressed, negative emotion becomes an integral part of a person's mind. Each repressed emotion subconsciously exerts a continuous negative effect on that person's thinking and emotional processes. That negative effect remains forever, unless the emotion (often an emotion from childhood) is identified and rationally re-examined through the mature adult mind. 4. The identifying and releasing of any repressed emotion through a non-mystical mind is a healthy, rewarding experience. [Re: Concept 104, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] Self-Responsibility/Mouth Responsibility Each individual is solely responsible for his or her own actions. That includes being responsible for what goes in and out of one's mouth. Mouth Responsibility: the self-responsibility for the food, drink, drugs, smoke, genitalia that go into one's mouth and the words that come out. Internal mysticism ruins people's lives through (1) allowing irrational, destructive ingestion of sugar, alcohol, or drugs into their mouths and (2) allowing irrational, destructive words to egress from their mouths. Everyone alone must personally battle to overcome internal mysticism in order to live prosperously and happily. Selfresponsibility cannot be transferred to anyone. For that reason, most therapies by psychologists and psychiatrists are invalid. Moreover, such therapies are often practiced by neocheaters usurping a livelihood by manipulating mysticism in others. Almost all psychological problems arise from internal mysticism. And each individual can overcome such problems by continual, conscious choice to be honest rather than mystical. Each person must decide to selfdetermine the future or to surrender that responsibility to external "authorities" (including psychologists). That surrender of life occurs on asking others to solve one's own problems and deliver happiness.
Fighting and rejecting mysticism within one's own self is the greatest, most important of all battles. And the most ironic, tragic loser of that battle was the philosopher, Ayn Rand. For she developed and harnessed the greatest mind to battle mysticism since Aristotle. Yet, she could never collect her full rewards, because she lost the battle to personal mysticism on several fronts. The most irrational, emotion-driven mysticisms were her rationalizations, vindictiveness, cultism, and smoking. The consequences of those mystical indulgences? Unnecessary unhappiness, sycophants limiting her work, and nicotine killing her. ...While Ayn Rand was totally nonmystical in her work and ideas, she became increasingly mystical and unhappy in her personal life. By contrast, her long-time collaborator Nathaniel Branden later absorbed areas of mysticism in his work and ideas while apparently growing less mystical and more happy in his personal life. Having an external "authority" such as a God, a drug, a cigarette, a cult, a psychologist delivers: 1. quick, easyway, no-struggle "answers" that avoid self-responsibility, and 2. fuel for more personal mysticisms. That avoiding of self-responsibility always fuels personal mysticism while diminishing the individual's competence and motivation to solve one's own personal problems. And that default is why most therapies are long-range failures. Only individuals themselves can have sufficient motivation and self-knowledge to successfully overcome internal mysticism and solve life's problems. Only individuals themselves can put sufficient energy and knowledge into the efforts needed to become competent, prosperous, and happy. No mystical or outside source can provide those values. Neo-Tech Advantage #74 NATURAL HIGHS Natural highs always beneficially integrate with a person's physical or psychological life -- or both. Unnatural highs always destructively disintegrate a person's physical or psychological life -- or both. Strongly positive experiences such as major achievements, aerobic exercises, great music, art, literature, drama, and romantic love stimulate natural highs. The ultimate high, however, comes from feeling one's own self in control -- being in control of life, living free of mysticism, living honestly, rationally, productively. In that nonmystical state, a person acutely feels the integrated physical and psychological process of living. He or she experiences the impact of living fully, in competent control of one's own self, destiny, and reality. That clarity and control of self, life, and reality produces a physical and emotional high. That high evolves from an acute awareness of living in reality...of being in control. Such highs are far more exhilarating than those achieved through reality avoiding, artificial stimuli such as drugs, alcohol, religious or mystical experiences, manipulating others, ruling others, killing others. Those fake control-seeking highs are achieved through force and destruction. By contrast, all genuine, lasting highs are achieved through competitive production of values. The most intense reality high is psychuous pleasures. Reality highs, however, can be consistently experienced in almost any phase of one's life to produce continuous waves of pleasure and happiness. Most people have at times experienced brief or partial glimpses of those natural highs. Such experiences live vividly in nearly everyone's memory. On analysis, one will discover that those experiences occurred when a person was most free of mysticism -- most free to be his or her own self -- most free to function according to his or her biological nature. Moreover, everyone who has developed a rational, productive lifestyle has the capacity for experiencing natural highs with increasing frequency. Those highs can eventually blend into a near continuous state of happiness marked by extra-intense moments of psychuous pleasures. The Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts deal with relationships between people. But those concepts also deal with the relationship of one's own self relative to reality, self-esteem, and self-awareness. Only through developing a nonmystical, integrated relationship with one's own body, mind, and objective reality can a person fully experience the prosperity, pleasures, and happiness available from life.
Natural highs involve the release of physical and emotional tensions while being fully aware of the mind and body. The sensation is that of "letting go" as the body tensions release and the emotional pleasures are guiltlessly felt. Those natural, euphoric experiences are contrasted to the destructive, tension-breaking actions of taking drugs, getting drunk, food gorging. Such artificial or mystical highs always leave hangovers and unhappiness along with damaged minds and bodies. [Re: Table 41, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Natural highs can also release chronic muscular tensions manifested in taut necks, shallow breathing, stiffly pulled up shoulders, tense buttocks, and uptightness in general. In fact, neck stiffness is an indicator of locked-in conflicts caused by mysticism. Releasing such tensions also improves one's physical grace and coordination. The release of those tensions restores the natural, cat-like gracefulness of body motions as muscles begin working together in their intended, fluid, integrated manner. Also, the release of those chronic tensions and the deepening of breathing permits clearer, more effective thinking. Certain exercises are also effective in both releasing chronic muscle tensions and improving one's breathing. [Re: Book Analysis 71, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] Also, self-hypnosis can relax certain physical tensions. Hypnosis bypasses the conscious mind by putting orders directly into a nonresisting, noncritical subconscious mind. [Re: Appendix C, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Effective hypnosis techniques are easy to master, but can be damaging to the subconscious mind when hypnosis is used carelessly or with improper dehypnosis. Moreover, hypnosis is usually used mystically, is generally unnecessary, and is not recommended. Tension-releasing not only lets one relax and feel pleasures, but projects a freedom to others that helps them relax and share the pleasures. Neo-Tech Advantage #75 JOY AND HAPPINESS The emotions of pleasure, joy, well-being, and happiness have interrelating features. But each is a separate experience with unique characteristics and requirements. For example, one can be happy without experiencing pleasure, and one can experience temporary pleasure without being happy. Joy is a self-induced, here-and-now emotion that arises from pleasure, well-being, and happiness. Enjoyment is also induced by consciously reflecting on the emotional rewards of pleasure, well-being, and happiness. To fully experience enjoyment, one must reject unearned guilt foisted on him or her by mystics and neocheaters. [Re: Table 42, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. When a Neo-Tech oriented person earns happiness, he or she can then make a conscious choice to guiltlessly enjoy that happiness. Neo-Tech Advantage #76 PHILOSOPHY FOR ROMANTIC LOVE Glib, shallow philosophies about love and sex based on selflessness, altruism, or slogans are easily conjured up by mystics and neocheaters. To some people, Leo Buscaglia's love-all philosophies may sound poetic, beautiful, comfortable, and easy to accept. But those pseudo philosophies are generally rigged from non sequiturs and then promulgated as the truth by glib psychologists, social "experts", religious "authorities", egalitarian writers, mountebanks, and other neocheaters who have never experienced integrated, value-oriented romantic love. Thus, their books and words work to diminish everyone's love and happiness. Many books about love and sex are also based on spurious, altruistic philosophies that sound "good" on the surface and promise happiness through a system of destructively selfless, sacrificial acts. But altruism is a power-usurping tool contrived by neocheaters for contradicting reality, subverting the nature of human beings, and laying false guilt on everyone. Such glibly spurious, altruistic philosophies contradict the positive, valuable
goals ostensibly presented in those books. Most authors never realize that an explicit, rational philosophy is necessary to form a consistent basis for their writings, especially when dealing with human relationships and love. If philosophy is ignored or used inconsistently by the authors, the value of their work is diminished. Without a conscious philosophical position, no consistent principles are available to guide a person's work, life, or love relationship. By contrast, every Neo-Tech/Psychuous concept is rooted in a consistent philosophy that integrates reality with the physical, psychological, and intellectual nature of human beings. Consciously or subconsciously, all people make philosophical choices that determine the course of their lives. Two fundamental philosophical choices exist for all human beings: (1) a reality oriented, pro-life choice (Aristotelian), or (2) a mystically oriented, anti-life choice (Platonistic). The future of all humans and all societies are determined by those two philosophical choices. Aristotelian choices allow a person to experience success, prosperity, romantic love, psychuous pleasures, long-range happiness. Platonistic choices lead to a rationalized life that eventually produces failure, anxiety, destructiveness, boredom, unhappiness [Re: Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia, Table 43 illustrates the results of those two choices throughout history while listing the social and personal consequences of choosing an Aristotelian versus a Platonistic approach to life]. Thus, all philosophical concepts fall into one of two camps: 1. Aristotelian-based, free-enterprise individualism based on life-oriented honesty and effort. 2. Platonistic-based, altruistic collectivism based on death-oriented dishonesty and laziness. All religions and most political concepts fall into the Platonistic camp. All Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts fall into the Aristotelian camp [Re: Table 44, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Neo-Tech Advantage #77 ARISTOTLE FOR THE LIVING AND THE FUTURE VS. PLATO FOR THE DEAD AND THE PAST Philosophy determines the course of each individual's life. [Re: Concept 107, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] The diametrically opposite choices between Aristotelian philosophy and Platonistic philosophy profoundly affect every individual and society. [Re: Tables 43 and 44, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] Aristotelian philosophy is the intellectual basis of Neo-Tech. Platonistic philosophy is the intellectual basis of every irrational, destructive religious and political system promoted in the past 2300 years. Indeed, Platonism is the philosophical foundation of mysticism, altruism, sacrifice, egalitarianism, existentialism, religion, dictatorships, theism, socialism, democracy, communism, fascism, evangelism and every other rule of force, coercion, and fraud. Except for freeenterprise capitalism, all political systems including democracy (a tyranny by the majority) require deception and force to exist. Thus, all those political and religious systems are immoral and harmful to human beings. Only freeenterprise capitalism is: 1. based entirely on voluntary free choice, 2. consistent with the nature of conscious beings and, thus is beneficial to all conscious beings, 3. moral and just: Offers freedom to everyone. Rejects all mysticism, racism, initiatory force, and fraud. Platonism is also the basis of all public educational systems. Government-run schools today are inept at educating children because they embrace the ideas of John Dewey, a Platonist existentialist who dishonestly replaced the objective principles of education with power-usurping, subjective methods. (Dewey's contemporaries, William James and Sidney Hook, promoted similar but more cautiously disguised, existentialistic ideas.) Using dishonest
non sequiturs, Dewey's philosophy dismisses as socially irrelevant the pedagogical teaching of fundamental knowledge such as reading, writing, mathematics, and science. Dewey's philosophy promotes the mystical concept that children can be "educated" by allowing them to randomly pursue their own whims. The students' whims are considered socially relevant to the here-and-now and thus are deemed as the basis of education. The "teacher", therefore, merely follows wherever the child's feelings may lead (rather than the teacher providing the child with objective knowledge through systematic input of integrated facts and information). With an existential action approach, Dewey deems the mind as the creator of "reality". Thus, in one mystical stroke, he negates both the integrating conscious mind and objective reality. Although deceptively stating the opposite, Karl Marx's dialectical materialism is the same "reality creating" approach to action as Dewey's approach. Hitler's approach is also the same as Dewey's "willed realities" and "created logics". That "reality-creating" approach is the essence of mysticism. For it relieves the mind of the basic human responsibility to identify, integrate, and then logically deal with objective reality. As a pragmatic existential neocheater, Dewey scraps logic, knowledge, and reason in favor of whims and feelings. He deems such whims and feelings as the primary guide to human knowledge, education, and action. ...Designed from dishonesty and laziness, Dewey's destructive "educational" approach is the basis of public education today. Plato provided the tools for rationalizing an "intellectual" basis for any false or specious approach, including Dewey's approach. Platonistic philosophy can "justify" any irrational or unjust means to "noble" ends or "higher" causes. That same philosophy provides the tools for rationalizing the two primary character faults of conscious beings -- dishonesty and laziness. Aristotle, on the other hand, provides the tools that every person needs to develop the knowledge necessary for guiding his or her life to unlimited prosperity, psychuous pleasures, and abiding happiness. Aristotelian philosophy provides the tools for meeting the needs of the human organism for optimum survival and maximum happiness. Successful use of those tools requires integrated honesty and rational efforts. The following chart illustrates how a civilization might have advanced if an Aristotelian rather than a Platonistic philosophy had dominated for the past 2300 years. This chart shows how free-enterprise capitalism would have eliminated mysticism, parasitism, religion, collectivism, altruism, and force-backed governments with the subsequent elimination of neocheating, wars, crime, disease, poverty, and death itself. Some of the estimates made in the chart include steam engines and trains in operation at the birth of Christ (who in a free-enterprise society might have matured into an energetic, happy, value-producing carpenter or contractor), mass produced cars available in 50 A.D., commercial airlines in operation by 60 A.D., crime and fraud eliminated (not by government police but by individual self-defense and private protection services, private courts, and computerized ostracism) by 65 A.D., nuclear power by 70 A.D., man on the moon by 80 A.D., cancer cured by 90 A.D., youth-perpetuating biological immortality by 120 A.D., immortal conscious individuals master of all known nature by 2000 A.D.

Neo-Tech Advantage #78 HUMOR VS. SENSE OF LIFE: A TEST FOR HUMOR Spontaneous humor is a highly individualized characteristic that reflects a person's sense of life. Humor can also identify a person's psychology and philosophy [Re: Table 46, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Humor is a product of lateral or horizontal thinking [Re: Concept 143, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Through horizontal thinking, a new and unexpected way to look at something is developed. That surprise contrast between the conventional, expected view and the new, unexpected view is the essence of humor. The nature of that newly created view reflects the sense of life in both those who create and those who respond to that particular humor. The spontaneous response to humor is a quick, automatic indicator of that person's sense of life (e.g., benevolent or malevolent). Even when they try, few people can conceal or successfully fake their response to humor. Thus, identification of a person's sense of life through humor is often quite reliable. Understanding the nature of humor helps identify one's own sense of life as well as that of other people [Re: Table 46, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Also, a compatibility of humor is one of the most enjoyable aspects of friendships and romanticlove relationships. Neo-Tech Advantage #79 TABOOS AND LAWS AGAINST VOLUNTARY SEX ACTS Deep-rooted taboos subconsciously affect nonsexual as well as sexual relationships between people. For example, fear of incest taboos can inhibit or even prevent an affectionate, rewarding father-daughter relationship. Subconscious incest taboos and fears can also block or limit communication between parents and their children concerning sex education and open discussion of sexual matters. Taboos can likewise inhibit nonsexual friendships and prevent loving, familial affections from reaching their full potential. Objective examination reveals that most negative views of taboos are themselves irrational or mystical. Even negative views of the strongest taboos such as bestiality and incest are sometimes unfounded. But violating or performing any taboo can also stem from an unhealthy, neurotic, psychotic, or criminal base. Forcible rape and child-adult sexual relations are not just taboos, but are criminal acts. For, they involve the violation of individual rights by force or coercion. A child lacks the experience, knowledge, as well as the emotional and physical independence to make valid free-choice, sexual-relation decisions. Such a child can easily be forced or coerced into sexual acts by his or her natural dependency on the adult for survival. Indeed, adult incest with a child is equivalent to rape in violating that child's individual rights and well-being. Thus, when a child is involved, incest is a crime exceeded in seriousness only by injurious assault, rape, and murder. ...Carrying out any taboo, sex act, or any action for that matter becomes criminal when (and only when) the action harms, diminishes, or endangers an individual's rights or life by force, fraud, or coercion.[ 38 ]
But mutually agreed-on violation of other taboos can be from a healthy or "good-for-me" base. For example, most of today's vanishing taboos such as premarital sex, oral sex, enactment of fantasies, and the satisfying of fetishes are often (but not always) performed from a healthy base [Re: Concepts 111 and 112, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Violating other taboos such as adultery can be injurious when involving deception or dishonesty. Also plural marriages are generally (but not always) too difficult or demanding to be healthy, even if honest. Taboos such as homosexuality and bestiality are often thought to be violated from psychologically harmful, neurotic bases. But such is not the case when performed by genetically determined homosexuals or adolescents motivated by curiosity. ...One possible lure to non genetic forms of homosexuality is easy, low-effort, multiple sexual experiences. But, the percentage of homosexuals affected or motivated by that lure is not known. Indeed, much is still unknown about homosexuality.[ 39 ] Committing incest usually evolves from a neurotic or a psychotic base, but again not always. Incest between consenting adults, for example, is theoretically possible from a healthy base. Despite government laws,[ 40 ] nothing in the nature of voluntary, adult-adult incest is inherently wrong or harmful in the act itself. But conception among close blood relatives can activate undesirable, genetically recessive traits. Thus, the special problem of bearing defective children must be considered by closely related couples. The decision to bear children, however, always remains the right of the couple. But if they choose to bear children, they must be willing and able to assume full responsibility to provide for and raise to independent adulthood any children they bear. The inherent non-wrongness of adult-adult incest is most obvious in the case of adult orphans who unknown to each other are brother and sister and who by chance meet. They could quite naturally fall in love, have sex, marry, and have children without knowledge of their blood relationship. Incest in that case obviously can be from a healthy basis. Furthermore, even known incestuous relationships between consenting adults are not necessarily unhealthy or neurotic (although today they often are). Throughout recorded history, incestuous marriages, especially among the ruling classes, were accepted as normal and widely practiced in many cultures. No sexual act between consenting adults can objectively be illegal, even if the acts are physically or psychologically harmful to the consenting individuals (such as injurious homosexuality, masochism, sadism). Only acts of force, fraud, or coercion that violate the individual rights of nonconsenting people[ 41 ] can be objectively illegal. Such criminal acts include forcible rape, adult/child sexual relationships, nonconsenting sadism, and any other acts that are physically or fraudulently forced on unwilling or unknowing victims. Some of the more irrational government laws that violate individual rights are those dealing with sex. They range from the government sanctioning murder (e.g., some jurisdictions allow the husband to kill with near impunity the lover of his wife) to restricting the way one makes love to a consenting partner (e.g., in some states, couples can go to jail for oral sex). Neo-Tech Advantage #80 INITIATORY FORCE -- THE PRIME EVIL Force, coercion, threat of force, or fraud[ 42 ] initiated against any individual for any reason by any individual, groups of individuals, societies, or governments is morally wrong. That is the only categorical moral statement possible. That statement must, by its nature, be the categorical, irreducible, and fundamental standard for all conscious beings, always, everywhere. That statement is the moral axiom upon which every Neo-Tech/Psychuous Concept rests. The initiation of force and fraud among conscious beings is not only the basic moral wrong and evil, but is the primary tool used by all professional mystics and neocheaters to survive through value destruction. No exceptions to the immorality of initiatory force exist. No matter how "noble" the ends, they never justify the means of initiating force, fraud, or coercion against any individual. Any government or activity that depends on or
uses initiatory force, threat of force, or coercion is immoral and destructive. Therefore, all taxation backed by force, all conscription backed by force, and all laws that regulate or control by force or coercion are immoral. The only laws that are objectively just and moral are those that protect the life and property rights of individuals from initiatory force and fraud. All other laws that regulate people's lives or property are morally wrong, contrary to human nature, and harmful to everyone. Such immoral laws include those that restrict or prohibit drugs, alcohol, prostitution, abortion (of the fetus at any age), or any form of censorship or restriction of voluntary sexual activity. All such laws are morally wrong because they use threats or force against individuals. While all governments have the power, none ever have the moral right to initiate force or coercion against any individual. The only beneficial and moral laws are those designed to protect the life and property rights of individuals from initiatory force, the threat of force, and fraud. In turn, the only moral use of force is for selfdefense: That is for protection of oneself, property, or country from force initiated by other individuals or governments. ...Self-defense by any means, including force, is not only a basic moral right, but a moral duty. No government has ever helped an individual produce more values or greater happiness than that individual could have produced without government. Governments differ only in the degree they harm people. In fact, except for protecting individual rights, no valid reason for government exists. Indeed, the entire concept of government is invalid and mystical. Government is nothing more than a mystical, big-lie hoax perpetuated through the centuries by neocheaters through force, non sequiturs, and the manipulation of mysticism. Government is not the equivalent of one's country. Governments are based on invalid mystical notions that have no basis in reality; countries are objectively real entities of defined territories. A person can love his or her country, but properly despise the government that with usurped power constantly harms and drains everyone within its realm. Neo-Tech Advantage #81 OPPRESSION AND FREEDOM -- PAST AND FUTURE The following chart demonstrates the trend of human oppression over the past 3300 years. That oppression is directly proportional to the force and fraud governments and religion exert against individuals. The most oppressive, unhappy period of history was the Dark Ages during which religious power controlled the political system with unlimited force against individuals. By contrast, human happiness and well-being increased markedly during those periods when honesty and business reduced government and religious power. Also, as shown in the following chart, the government and church always oppressed women more than men. Indeed, governments and churches have always been controlled by neocheaters who manipulate the mystical concept of altruistic sacrifice to gain power. And, historically, those male neocheaters have always found physically weaker, more mystically dependent women their first and easiest target to bully into submission. In exercising their unearned power, professional mystics and neocheaters gained added leverage by encouraging men to bully physically weaker women into submission. And they especially lured women into silliness -- into following mystical stupidities such as astrology and religion. But with the rise of nonmystical, free-market economies, women have become increasingly productive, more independent, less mystical, thus less oppressed. And recently, for the first time in history, freedom for men and women has become nearly equal. But with today's reviving interest in the stupidities of mysticism and religion, more women are choosing to slip back into mystical lives controlled by others.

Note: The long-term, general trend throughout history has been away from mysticism, poverty, stupidity, oppression, misery...and toward honesty, prosperity, intelligence, freedom, happiness: Away from the mysticplagued Plato mind...and toward the mystic-free cosmic mind. Today, the various political-religious hucksters, neocheating academia, mystical feminists, and many dishonest journalists and political cartoonists are climbing over each other to attack and undermine individual rights, business, and value producers around the world [Re: Table 51, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Since business and its value producers strengthen individual rights, the attacks on business and producers are actually attacks on individual rights. Such attacks are designed to control the value producers for exploitation by neocheaters. The worldwide trend of increasingly accepting mysticism and violence can culminate in either a governmentsponsored nuclear holocaust or a world-wide, terror-controlled government. Either course would end our current civilization. With a continued rise of worldwide mysticism, either (1) a nuclear holocaust would occur through destructive political insanities (e.g., nuclear-armed Marxists/Leninists/Maoists) or destructive religious insanities (e.g., nuclear-armed Shiite muslims), or (2) a Lenin/Mao-style or Khomeini/Giuliani-style government would enslave or slaughter the best -- the most valiant, independent, value producers. That enslavement and slaughter of the good, the happy, the best among us would drag humanity back into the Dark Ages...perhaps for centuries.
In a world of escalating mysticism and neocheating, what will stop that destructive trend? Neo-Tech followed by Neothink will not only stop that trend, but will reverse it effectively, decisively, forever. Indeed, Neo-Tech has already begun to check the trend. Nothing can stop the current, worldwide Neo-Tech wave from breaking across all continents to eliminate mysticism and its symbiotic neocheaters. The alternative to all gloomy scenarios caused by mystics and neocheaters is Neo-Tech driven competition -- a competitive revolution led by honest, productive working people. That competition will render all professional mystics and neocheaters impotent, uncompetitive, unable to manipulate the producers, unable to survive. NeoTech led competition will bring a forever prospering, happy business world [Re: Table 51, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. In a Neo-Tech political, social, and business environment, an unstoppable surge of human happiness, well-being, productivity, and romantic love will occur. Against Neo-Tech, professional mystics and neocheaters will appear as impotent clowns. They will be unable to deceive, cheat, oppress, injure, destroy, kill... unable to manipulate their plunderings and aggressions...unable to wage wars or commit mass murder. Indeed, Neo-Tech with its honest nature and competitive business climate will create an exhilarating, unstoppable atmosphere for creativity and achievement. The worldwide standard of living and happiness will soar. Poverty and famine will vanish. Most diseases including cancer and AIDS will quickly be eliminated. ...Human biological immortality without aging will soon become commercially available -- probably within a decade [Re: Concept 145, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Neo-Tech Advantage #82 A CONSTITUTION FOR PROSPERITY, PSYCHUOUS PLEASURES, AND ROMANTIC LOVE At no time in history have the ideas, influences, doctrines, platforms, or actions of any political or religious system ever yielded a net benefit to productive human beings. No such system has ever increased the long-range prosperity, well-being, and happiness of anyone.[ 43 ] Indeed, individuals and civilizations thrive to the extent that religious and government power is diminished. The anti-force platform of the American Business Party first appeared nearly two decades ago in BARRONS financial weekly. [Re: Table 52, of Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] That platform represents the only political structure that functions without force, fraud, or coercion. That platform, therefore, is compatible with the biological needs and well-being of all human beings. All other political systems depend on force, fraud, or coercion to function. Thus, all such systems have always harmed everyone throughout the ages. Only the unique, anti-force nature of business allows people to fully use their minds and exercise their individual rights to live prosperously and happily. The question of having no government in a Neo-Tech business society versus having a limited government in areas of national defense, the courts, and police protection is meaningless so long as the moral principle of no initiatory force or fraud is observed. Within a Neo-Tech business society, a company called "government" or competing companies would deliver a needed, integrated package of services to those who voluntarily paid for such services. Without power to initiate force or the threat of force required to collect taxes, governments would function only to the extent their citizens or clients found their services valuable enough to voluntarily purchase.[ 44 ] If citizens refused to purchase certain government services, those services would simply go out of business. Or they would be replaced by more efficient services that enough people thought valuable enough to buy. An honest, legitimate government would by necessity be both a competitive, profit-oriented service and an individual-rights protection business. In some areas, possibly several competing businesses, organizations, or companies might offer the same services in competing for citizens as customers.
Voluntarily supported governments and voluntarily supported businesses would really be equivalent entities subject to the same free-market dynamics and the unbreakable order dictated by free competition, market demands, investment protection, and value exchange. A nonforce government could be called Government, Government Company, or any other name. Likewise, that entity would be subject to the same economic disciplines of profits, losses, growth, competition, and bankruptcy as any competing business. In other words, in a Neo-Tech society, governments would have the same nature, disciplines, and anti-anarchy order as any free-enterprise business. And they would be subject to the same competitive influences and disciplines to improve quality and value. ...The ordered purpose of business would reign; the arbitrary disorder of mystical/neocheating, forcebacked governments would vanish. The transition from a force-dependent government to a nonforce government could cause some temporary dislocations, such as cutting welfare, stopping transfer-payment "services", and selling government property to pay off and close out Social Security claims. But those problems would be minor and transitory compared to the flood of permanent, major benefits that would immediately assert themselves. For example, national defense and police protection would immediately strengthen toward total effectiveness as purpose and efficiency soared. Moreover, a nonforce government would mean no taxes, no irrational controls or destructive regulations, no government corruption, no neocheaters, no wars, and a spectacularly prosperous, healthy, happy society. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 43 ] But different political systems can vary greatly in their relative destructiveness. Western-world democracies, for example, are much less oppressive and destructive than are the terror-totalitarian systems of Russia, Red China, Nazi Germany, Cuba. Left-wing or right-wing, all totalitarian governments use the same institutions of power, force, and terror. That is why when a right-wing dictatorship falls, a left-wing dictatorship can so quickly seize and use the instruments of force already in place. Without much effort, the new government can continue usurping power and values as did the previous government, but with ever greater force and terror. [ 44 ] Does Neo-Tech lead to anarchy? No, just the opposite. Neo-Tech leads to business-like order and prosperity. Only destructive, bogus-job authorities backed by force cause disorder and eventual anarchy. Neo-Tech Advantage #83 DISMISSING 3000 YEARS OF MYSTICISM for a life of PERSONAL POWER, PROSPERITY, AND HAPPINESS The purpose of each individual human life is to prosper and live happily. Anyone can achieve that prosperity and happiness when free of force, fraud, or coercion by others. The Neo-Tech Constitution forbids initiatory force, threat of force, or fraud by any individual, group of individuals, or government. No other law or rule is needed for a moral, rational society.
Forbidding initiatory force and coercion is the only political law compatible with the prosperity and happiness of human beings. Thus, the Neo-Tech Constitution leaves everyone with the conditions for prosperity and happiness. No other constitution or laws are needed or valid. The Neo-Tech Constitution stated below obsoletes the constitutions of all nations: THE NEO-TECH CONSTITUTION Preamble The purpose of human life is to prosper and live happily. The function of society is to protect those conditions that let all individuals achieve prosperity and happiness. Those conditions can be delivered by a constitution that prohibits the use of initiatory force or coercion by any person, group, or government against any individual: The Constitution Article 1: No person, group of persons, or government may initiate force, threat of force, or fraud against the person or property of any individual. Article 2: Force may be morally and legally used only in defense against those who violate Article 1. Article 3: No exception shall ever exist to Articles 1 & 2. The Neo-Tech Constitution rests on six axioms: 1. Values exist only relative to life. 2. Whatever benefits a living organism is a value to that organism. Whatever harms a living organism is a disvalue to that organism. 3. The basic value against which all values are measured is the conscious individual. 4. Morals relate only to conscious individuals. 5. Immoral actions arise from individuals choosing to harm others through force, fraud, deception, coercion -- or from individuals choosing to usurp, attack, or destroy values earned by others. 6. Moral actions arise from individuals choosing to benefit others by competitively producing values for them. How would the Neo-Tech Constitution be enforced? Through (1) self-defense/deterrent forces and (2) organized ostracizing systems ...Effective ostracisation is a much more powerful mechanism for justice, restitution, and deterrent than any form of force. And the severest, fully integrated ostracisation can eventually deliver capital punishment through suicide. Background for The Neo-Tech Constitution The purpose of human life is to prosper happily. By integrating the human mind with reality, anyone can prosper happily by making one's self increasingly valuable to others. But what keeps most people from doing that -- from fulfilling their own nature? What has kept most people throughout history from experiencing the prosperity and happiness that they are fully qualified to earn?...The answer lies in three words: Force, Mysticism, Neocheating:[ 45 ] Force Force is the instrument used to usurp or expropriate values earned by others: Directly or indirectly, all initiated force supports stagnated status quo, laziness, and incompetence at the expense of competitive growth, productivity, and ability. Criminals, mystics, neocheaters, governments, and religions use force, threat of force, or fraud to drain life, values, and happiness from the producers and society. But those who live by force or fraud
live in discord with reality. They offer nothing to others except dwarfed lives, diminished happiness, and lost values. Professional mystics and neocheaters depend on force or deception to survive. But, the value producer never needs to use force or deception to prosper. Once value producers identify the nature of initiatory force, they will reject its use as criminal and harmful under any conditions. From that point on, the value producers can guiltlessly collect their earned prosperity and happiness. And all who have lived by force and coercion will find they can no longer live by usurping values. Instead, they too will have to produce competitive values for others or perish. Mysticism Mysticism is defined as: 1. Any attempt to use the mind as a "reality" creating device rather than a reality integrating organism. 2. Any attempt to recreate or alter reality through dishonesty, feelings, non sequiturs, or rationalizations. 3. Any attempt to ignore, evade, contradict, or fake reality. 4. Any creation of problems where none exist. Mysticism is the tool used by neocheaters to manipulate or hide the force, fraud, or coercion used to usurp power and values from others. Mysticism is used to create specious standards for projecting undeserved guilt onto others. Why? To beguile value producers into surrendering their earned power and values to the value destroyers. Neocheating Neocheating is defined as: Any intentional use of mysticism to create false realities and illusions in order to extract values or power from others. Neocheating is the technique for usurping values, money, power by using mysticism to manipulate others. Neocheating is the essential technique politicians, clergymen, bogus-job bureaucrats, and white-collar-hoax business quislings use to usurp jobs, power, money, and pseudo self-esteem from others. The Nature of Mysticism Used by Neocheaters Mysticism is an evasion of reality that is never supported by honesty or objective reality. Mysticism, the stupidness disease, harms human beings in five ways: 1. Mysticism cripples the integration capacities required to accurately understand reality. That accurate understanding is necessary to make decisions competently, to solve problems effectively, and to live competitively. 2. Mysticism short-circuits or blocks the mind to prevent unlimited, wide integrations that let one know and understand everything in the universe without limits. 3. Mysticism drains one's intelligence, efficacy, and ability to live competitively. 4. Mysticism blocks the long-range thinking integrations needed to prosper continuously, love romantically, and live happily. 5. Mysticism subjects individuals increasingly to the control of professional mystics and neocheaters. Mysticism is arbitrary, has no link to reality, and is based on nothing. Thus, mysticism is nothing. Yet, by manipulating rationalizations, non sequiturs, aphorisms, parables, superstitions, modern art, poetry, songs, rock music, chants, slogans, newspeak, quotes, or facts out of context, a professional mystic or neocheater can create illusions to seemingly justify almost any harmful action, including thefts and murder. Such "justifications" are essential for their unjustifiable pillagings of value producers.
Mysticism and neocheating have been used for 2000 years to create illusions that "external authorities" protect the lives of individuals, can solve problems for others, and can provide livings for non-producers. But, in reality, all such "authorities" are merely neocheaters using deception, force, or coercion to extract their bogus livelihoods from the value producers. And those neocheaters are the fountainhead of crimes and human-imposed suffering. Mysticism and neocheating are the main causes of pain and failure among human beings. Mysticism and neocheating are anti-life -- death-oriented. The core of mystics and neocheaters is dishonesty and laziness. Their task is to beguile value producers into supporting the value destroyers. The Morality of Mystics and Neocheaters Morality is defined as: Conscious actions that purposely benefit people and society are moral. Conscious actions that purposely harm people and society are immoral. Thus, value destroyers such as mystics, neocheaters, and their agents of force, coercion, and deception are immoral. For, they purposely harm others and society by choosing to usurp values from others rather than produce values for others. By contrast, value producers are moral. For, they purposely benefit others and society by choosing to competitively produce more values for others than they consume. Mystics violate morality: They harm both their own and every other person's life. They are destructive, silly, immature, childish. By choosing to evade reality, they undermine their ability to identify reality, to think clearly, to produce values, to live happily, to compete honestly -- to survive. As a result, they increasingly transfer responsibilities for their failures onto others. They routinely lay blame and guilt on others for their own problems.[ 46 ] Neocheaters violate morality: They purposely expand their harm by orchestrating mystical illusions to plunder others and society. Moreover, they design their illusions to make themselves appear as innocent benefactors and their victims appear as the guilty malefactors. But the opposite is true: The neocheaters are the guilty malefactors; their victims are usually the innocent value producers. Yet, as long as most people allow themselves to accept those mystical inversions of honesty, the neocheaters will keep pillaging them and society. As a result, such neocheaters always harm society by draining prosperity and happiness from everyone. Agents of Force violate morality: They purposely harm others by expropriating values through force or threat of force. Moreover, by choosing to expropriate rather than earn values, agents of force destroy their own lives by demolishing their competence, self-esteem, and happiness. By Contrast Nonmystics are moral: They accept the responsibility to think and act for themselves in order to produce objective values for others. With a loyalty to honesty, they act in accord with objective reality. They are mature, evolved people who strive to integrate their words and actions with honesty and reality, regardless of anyone's opinions, dictates, wishes, or emotions. As a result, nonmystics always benefit others and society. Rejecting Losers Mystics, neocheaters, and agents of force are losers. They are immature, unevolved people with self-arrested character development. They function through dishonesty and deception. For those reasons, they must depend on the producer for survival. But, they resent and envy the producer in knowing that they cannot experience his or her competence and happiness, no matter how much they extract from others. Mystics and neocheaters live unhappy, shrinking lives. Living through huckstered faith enforced by deception or force, they steadily lose respect for honesty, happiness, and the purpose to live. They increasingly move toward failure and death. And
often, steeped in envy, they want everyone else to fail and die with them. ...Thus, anyone can benefit by immediately rejecting losers such as mystics, neocheaters, and agents of force. Free Choice All people must continually choose between dishonesty or honesty, between laziness or effort, between accepting or rejecting mysticism from both within and without. Accepting mysticism means evading honesty and denying reality in favor of feelings, wishes, or external "authorities". And those consistently choosing mysticism become dependent on others or "authorities" to think for them, to lead them, to neocheat for them. But rejecting mysticism upholds honesty, rejects neocheaters and dependence on them, builds competence and independence, and finally enhances life for everyone. Four Facts 1.
No one can give another person self-worth or happiness. Yet anyone can achieve those two prime values by (a) producing more competitive values for others than consumed by oneself; and (b) rejecting mystics, neocheaters, and their schemes to usurp power and values from others. 2. Loyalty to honesty and rationality must replace mysticism in order to harness one's natural power. By remaining loyal to honesty and rationality, a person can (a) disarm mysticism, (b) render neocheaters impotent, and (c) create the conditions that allow personal prosperity and happiness to flourish. 3. People who resist mysticism from within and reject neocheating from without will gain prosperity and happiness. But others who remain foundering in the seas of mysticism and neocheating will become uncompetitive and lose the values of life. 4. If everyone were a mystic, human life would end. If everyone were a value destroyer, an agent of force, a neocheater, human life would end. But if everyone were an honest value producer, human life and happiness would flourish beyond imagination. The Intertwining Dependency of Force and Fraud on Mysticism Mysticism destroys from within; force destroys from without. Yet, both mysticism and force are unnatural and disposable. Neither are rooted in reality or have any inherent power. Still, all unearned power and expropriated values depend on mystical illusions backed by coercion, force, fraud, or deception. Mystics, neocheaters, and other value destroyers need those illusions to beguile, flimflam, or force values from others. But once that intertwining dependency of mysticism and force is unraveled, the rationalizations crumble and illusions vanish. ...Without their illusions, mystics and neocheaters are powerless. When value producers understand that intertwining dependency of force and fraud on mysticism, they will stop supporting mystics and neocheaters who live off the efforts of others. Those mystics and neocheaters will then be powerless. Their only means of survival will be to produce rather than usurp values. Once they become value producers, their self-esteems and competencies will soar. And then, they too can evolve into self-responsible human beings who earn their prosperity and happiness. Abolishing Initiatory Force by Ending Mysticism The Neo-Tech Constitution forbids initiatory force or fraud. Without force or fraud, mysticism and thus neocheaters become impotent. Without mysticism, force becomes ineffective for extracting values from others. The axioms of the Neo-Tech Constitution are real and cannot be contradicted. They are based on human nature. By contrast, all mystical illusions are capricious and contradictory. They are based on nothing. And that nothingness is why force, fraud, or coercion are required to make others accept the dishonest illusions of mystics and
neocheaters. Thus, by forbidding force, fraud, and coercion, the Neo-Tech Constitution vanquishes mystics and neocheaters. Policies for Ending Mysticism and Neocheating Most people unknowingly let mysticism have disastrous effects on their lives and society. As throughout history, people unnecessarily accept the dishonesties of mysticism in allowing neocheaters to pillage them materially and spiritually. But, once the mystical illusions are identified and the neocheating hoaxes are rejected, destructive mystics and neocheaters will be powerless because they have no reality-based, earned power. Rejecting mysticism and its dishonesty means rejecting neocheaters and their agents of force. That rejection requires a policy of never knowingly giving values to or doing business with those who live by force, fraud, coercion, or deception. Such people include: 1. Politicians. 2. Clergymen. 3. Agents of force who extort values from individuals, businesses, and society. 4. Bureaucrats and "authorities" who impede the value producer. 5. Academe, journalists, cartoonists, and media people who purposely distort facts and consciously undermine objective values to sustain pseudo self-esteems and destructive careers. 6. Quisling business executives and professionals who neocheat and destroy within their own businesses and professions for fake power and unearned livelihoods. 7. Other mystics and neocheaters who expropriate values while diminishing the prosperity and happiness of others. With wide-spread rejection of mysticism and neocheaters, violations of individual rights become unacceptable, pillaging becomes impractical, and waging war becomes impossible. ...People will then be free to live prosperously and happily forever. Implementing the Neo-Tech Constitution People could implement the Neo-Tech Constitution if they voted not for politicians, but, voted only for "The NeoTech Constitution". The Neo-Tech Constitution fully meets the responsibility of any government to its citizens. The sole purpose of The Neo-Tech Constitution is to protect individual rights through the abolition of all initiatory force. The Neo-Tech Constitution not only provides impenetrable armor for individual rights, but embodies the principles of prosperous living. People one by one will recognize the consummate advantages of The Neo-Tech Constitution. Then, with increasing momentum, those people will reject mysticism and neocheating. Those who do not reject mysticism will be left behind, unable to compete for power, prosperity, and romantic love among the rising army of Neo-Tech value producers.

[ 46 ] Everyone must fight mysticism both from within and from without. Each who quits fighting lets mysticism take over his or her life. Each who surrenders or stops struggling against mysticism becomes a part of the dishonest, quasi-dead world of mystics and neocheaters. And that unhappy world parasitically feeds on the destruction of values. Neo-Tech Advantage #84 PROTECTING CHILDREN from MYSTICS AND NEOCHEATERS What if people existed who purchased healthy, well-formed children and then mutilated their young bodies to create monsters splendid for laughing at? What if their formula were: "Take a child two or three years old, put him in a porcelain vase, more or less grotesque, which is made without top or bottom, to allow egress for the head and feet. During the day the vase is set upright, and at night is laid down to allow the child to sleep. The child thickens without growing taller, filling up with his compressed flesh and distorted bones the reliefs in the vase. This development in a bottle continues many years. After a certain time it becomes irreparable. When they consider that this is accomplished, and the monster made, they break the vase. The child comes out -- and, behold, there is a man in the shape of a mug! "This is convenient; by ordering your dwarf betimes you are able to have it of any shape you wish." Victor Hugo The Man Who Laughs Impossible? No one could be that evil? ...During the 17th century, organized bands of Gypsies called comprachicos (from comprapequeños, the Spanish word for child buyers) developed the profession of creating human monsters from children. Why? For the jaded amusement of master neocheaters and professional mystics of Europe -- the royalty of government and church. Did that period represent the height of evil toward children? Not at all. Today, comprachicos exist en masse around the world. And they are committing even greater crimes in creating less startling but more seriously mutilated children than their 17th century counterparts. Yet, their mutilations are more easily ignored. And, yes, even accepted by the mystical-blinded public: Who are the modern-day comprachicos? And what forms are their mutilations? One group specializes in deforming the outer body while permanently damaging the internal organs. They produce adults incapable of experiencing happy, healthy, romantic lives. Those modern-day comprachicos habituate, for example, ice-cream parlors. In great numbers, those comprachicos gorge children with macro doses of the most widely destructive of addictive drugs -- sugar. An addictive sedative, sugar exhibits profound, long-range toxicity toward the human body and its organs. Sugar gradually and irreversibly damages the metabolic system and internal organs while bloating the body into unwholesome, grotesque shapes. Those who are producing unhappy, sugar-addicted children by mutilating their bodies while damaging their organs are committing crimes more destructive than most child-molestation and child-abuse crimes. Moreover, those modern-day comprachicos are more culpable than their 17th century counterparts. The original comprachicos kept their children relatively healthy to achieve better market prices. They did not damage the children's metabolism or internal organs. Also, those 17th century comprachicos mutilated other people's children for
money. But, the modern-day comprachicos mutilate their own children for nothing more than rationalizing their own overweight or self-esteem problems in defaulting to destructive mysticism.[ 47 ] Can anything worse be done to children? Yes, something worse is being done everyday to millions of children: By nature, a child's mind is honest, innocent, and struggling to understand and integrate reality. What happens during the most vulnerable, formative period in developing a child's thinking and integrating ability as well as that child's competence, knowledge, honesty, integrity? Most parents and other adults traumatize and cripple that child's tender mind with heavy doses of mystical dishonesties. They do that by force-feeding the innocent child constant doses of blatantly dishonest religious or altruistic myths about spirits, God, Santa Claus. Such dishonesties are the antithesis of knowledge, contextual facts, and justice. And such repetitive blows to the child's newly developing mind and character can inflict deep, permanent damage. Those dishonesties often induce the first unnatural steps toward becoming an unhappy mystic or a destructive neocheater. ...Nothing healthy is reflected in the innocent, reality-seeking child being intellectually devastated by such irrational dishonesties as religious myths and SantaClaus lies. But even more severe crimes against children occur on a grand scale in most public schools and universities today. The perpetrators of those crimes are the majority of educators and philosophers of this world. They implement those anti-educational ideas advanced at the turn of the century by master comprachico, John Dewey. Such educators methodically destroy the efficacy of the child's mind. By the millions, eager, knowledge-seeking children turn into lethargic airheads or dishonest manipulators unable to achieve honest prosperity and genuine happiness. Moreover, those comprachicos supported by government-backed schools are busily training millions of children to live dishonestly -- to live not by producing values for others but by cleverly usurping values from others. Indeed, they are training children to become mystics and neocheaters. For, those modern-day comprachicos must keep generating more mystics and neocheaters in order to perpetuate their big-lie survival hoaxes based on mysticism. Who will protect innocent children from those crimes? Neo-Tech can and will eventually protect children from such crimes. And every Neo-Tech reader can help protect children by publicly identifying those modern-day comprachicos who carry out their mind/body mutilations in full view of a silently accepting public. The Neo-Tech reader can openly identify the damage being done to innocent children, particularly those children trapped within the public education system.

Maybe 5%, probably less. ...Most adults surrender life by surrendering to mysticism. Indeed, they often mutilate and destroy each other's bodies and happiness. They directly or indirectly encourage or cajole their spouses into destroying their trim, beautiful bodies. Such insecure people actually want their spouses to grow fat and unattractive. Why? With an unattractive spouse, a person no longer needs to exert the care, thought, and effort required to prevent losing an attractive spouse in the competitive arena of romantic love.
Neo-Tech Advantage #85 REJECTING MYSTICS AND NEOCHEATERS A Neo-Tech Protection Kit is available from the Kenneth A. Clark Memorial Office. The kit provides many specific, real-life examples and letters that show how Neo-Tech jettisons mystics and neocheaters. For example, the following letter illustrates an attack by neocheaters and how Neo-Tech effectively dismisses such neocheaters: Mr. Paul L. Douglas, Attorney General Department of Justice, State Capitol Lincoln, Nebraska 68509 Dear Mr. Douglas: Important to your future is understanding the enclosed letter from Mr. Thomas P. Vlahoulis of your Consumer Protection Division. As Nebraska's Attorney General, you are responsible for the actions of that Division and its use of taxpayers' money. Please carefully read that letter, for it is under your name: Does Mr. Vlahoulis, you, or anyone in your Department of Justice have a single, concrete complaint about the Neo-Tech Research and Writing Center or any of our publications? If so, we request that you immediately inform us. For, we want to know exactly what the complaint is and who is making it. We insist on our basic right of knowing and facing our accuser so we may respond fully. And very important, Mr. Douglas, why exactly is your Department of Justice gratuitously intruding into a publishing company with an inquisition directed at its writers and sources? What exactly is Mr. Vlahoulis implying or presuming, and on what basis? And what is the idea of his threatening us while remaining secretive in vaguely implying that the inquisition arises from "information forwarded by a concerned citizen"? If someone has a complaint, then out with it so we can respond. Indeed, has Mr. Vlahoulis or anyone in that Division ever received even a single complaint? And what about the thousands of happy Nebraskans who have benefited from Neo-Tech? ...Just who is complaining and why? Or is Mr. Vlahoulis merely acting on someone's specious attack on values? If no complaint based on fact exists, then I submit that Mr. Vlahoulis is consuming taxpayers' money in creating bogus jobs by conjuring up problems where none exist while sapping valuable time from innocent value producers. If that be the case, is not your Department committing a double-edged fraud under the aegis of "consumer protection"? What would the citizens of Nebraska think about spending their tax money on harassing value-producing writers in the name of "consumer protection"? What would Woodson Howe, editor of the Omaha World-Herald, or Tom White, editor of the Lincoln Star, say about your arbitrary threats aimed at a publisher of ideas? ...Ideas that will collapse mysticism to benefit everyone except the neocheaters. Through the philosophically oriented books and articles developed by the Neo-Tech Research and Writing Center, we have delivered objective, long-range values to over a million appreciative individuals in all 50 states and over 140 countries. Still professional mystics and neocheaters who are threatened by Neo-Tech always attack it, often vehemently, often imploring government authorities to stop our publishing activities. But, as they sooner or later discover, such attacks always backfire. For, we utilize all their attacks to our benefit. Indeed, their attacks directly enhance our business objectives of collapsing mysticism to eliminate neocheating. Moreover, their attacks are published and marketed in our Neo-Tech Protection Kit. That kit lets honest, productive people specifically identify and then forever dismiss those mystics and neocheaters who foment dishonest attacks on value producers.
We are resolutely principled and never knowingly yield to actions that are wrong or unfair, no matter what the cost. Indeed, over the long-range we build strength through a loyalty to honesty. And that means standing up to and publicly exposing neocheaters wherever we encounter them. In addition to the definition of neocheaters on the second page of our enclosed statement of principles, I ask you to read the third page concerning our policies toward neocheaters. That policy includes never knowingly doing business, regardless of dollar losses, with those who live by force, threats, or fraud. Enclosed are samples of letters from Neo-Tech owners. As you can see in the inset on the second page, various mystics and neocheaters fear Neo-Tech so much that they stridently threaten us, even with physical harm. Some have physically threatened our writers and some have tried to carry out their threats. That is one reason we shield and protect our writers. Additionally, all our sales literature openly displays a printed warning requesting professional mystics and neocheaters (e.g., clergymen and politicians) not to buy anything from us. For, we will not knowingly do business with any value destroyer. We reject their orders and never want their business. But above all, we as everyone in America are protected by the First Amendment. And we as everyone in America can freely publish our ideas without anyone's permission or license no matter how many authorities, mystics, or neocheaters object, including those in government, including you, your Department of Justice, and Mr. Vlahoulis. That raises the question of why I spent the time identifying the nature of Mr. Vlahoulis' actions. Am I letting your value-destroying minions consume my time needed to produce values for others? No, not at all. For I am a writer, researcher, and editor whose single, long-range responsibility is to develop and publish those identifications that will reveal and eventually eliminate dishonest mystics and destructive neocheaters -- in and out of religion and government. Indeed, every destructive action integrated with Neo-Tech generates material for future publications. Those publications are dedicated to eliminating mystics, neocheaters, and their 2000-year hoax used to pillage value producers. For once free of mystics and neocheaters, society will be free of parasites and bureaucratic value destroyers. Then all people will be free to earn full prosperity, personal happiness, and romantic love. And now a most important note. A personal note offered in goodwill to you, Mr. Douglas: I ask you to take the following step that will bring you and the public great benefits, now and in the future: Although we do not sell NeoTech to mystics, neocheaters, politicians, the clergy, most lawyers, certain academe, and others listed in our policy statement, we invite you to leave politics, acquire Neo-Tech knowledge, and join in the ascent of man and woman to guiltless prosperity, happiness, and romantic love. If you arrange to leave politics to produce marketable values for others, I could arrange for you to purchase NeoTech as we have occasionally arranged for other nonqualifiers. But first you must desire to abandon neocheating in order to pursue a happy, productive life. So please let me know if you are interested in this new direction. For, we can help you. With Neo-Tech, you can be infinitely happier than working toward the next election. Sincerely, John Flint Director of RIBI Note: Several months after receiving this letter and failing to accept its benevolent offer, Attorney-General Paul L. Douglas was impeached and later indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice.
Neo-Tech Advantage #86 POWER, PLATO, ARISTOTLE, AND NEO-TECH A 2500 YEAR-OLD RIDDLE SOLVED For 2500 years, citizens from ancient Greece to modern America have sought to understand and judge those holding or seeking public power. The higher, more powerful the "authority", the more attention focuses on trying to judge that "authority". In fact, attention expands geometrically on ascending the power scale to the president of the United States (or to the Pope). Yet, a consistent, reliable standard for judging power and authority has until now remained a riddle. That riddle is solved by applying two metaphors: (1) Knowing the material world around us requires understanding the smallest atomic units. And (2) knowing the cosmos above us requires understanding its primordial origins. Now apply those two points to authority and power: (1) Knowing authority around us requires understanding the smallest authoritarian units. And (2) knowing the power above us requires understanding its philosophical origins. Understanding the Smallest Unit of Authority Understanding authority begins by traveling far from the great concentrations of government authority -traveling away from the eastern megalopolis, west to the small desert city in Western United States. By putting a microscope on that oasis of population, one can focus beneath its few, simple layers of authority. One can focus beneath the mayor, past the city council and paid government employees down to an unpaid, appointed planning commission. And finally, one can reduce that commission's microcosm of authority down to its most mundane exercise of authority -- the granting or denying of a minor zoning variance to a lone, uninfluential individual with a modest home needing a second bedroom for his family. That property owner duly completed the proper forms, submitted blueprints, paid the filing fees, and presented the facts to the planning commission. He explained why variance was necessary not only to better the property, but to preserve one of the largest elm trees in the city. The owner detailed how alternative plans without the variance would neither be practical nor best serve the neighborhood. In addition, a professional urban planner (hired by the commission) found no problems or objections to the variance. He also concurred that well over half the homes in the neighborhood already had structures built in greater variance to the zoning ordinance than the minor variance requested. Moreover, unlike the surrounding structures, the proposed structure was designed to beautify both the owner's home and the neighborhood. In addition, that would be done entirely at the owner's expense while providing local employment. And most important, a two-week notice posted on the property, an advertised notice in the local newspaper, and written notices mailed to all homes surrounding the proposed property improvement brought not a single objection. In short, everyone logically concerned supported the variance. On concluding the hearing, the members seemed ready to approve this minor, routine variance. But then spoke a younger commissioner, a stocky, flush-faced government environmentalist living in a wealthy neighborhood atop a hill, far from the property owner. He turned enough to observe the property owner from the corners of his eyes. Then with twitching jowls, he stated that the property owner's needs and desires meant nothing in his considering the variance. He then cited three ambiguous, ordinance clauses with arbitrary interpretations -- impossible interpretations that no home owner could ever satisfy. ...He chose the exercise of power for the sake of gaining unearned power by destroying the creation of values. In prompt rebuttal, spoke an older commissioner. A trim, leather-faced workingman living in the same modest neighborhood as the property owner, he pointed out that no objective reason to deny the variance existed,
especially after everyone in the neighborhood and all others who could possibly be concerned approved. ...He chose the creation of values over the exercise of power. To fully understand the profound difference between those two commissioners, one must know that they are appointed by politically elected officials and meet four hours each month without pay. If they receive no pay, what do they receive? They receive political power and civic recognition with little expenditure of time and effort. Thus, the motivation for such people entering the world of government authority varies between political enhancement and civic achievement. From those beginnings, from that political atom, emerge two types of people: One desiring to gain power and a political future by destroying values. The other desiring to enhance the civic needs of the community and its citizens by protecting values. ...The first type gains authoritarian power by destroying values of others; the second type resists authoritarian power by protecting values of others. The first type consists of badintentioned value destroyers. The second type consists of well-intentioned, but misguided value producers. Understanding the Philosophical Origins of Power The first type subconsciously orients around Plato's philosophy -- a subjective, mystical-based philosophy. The extent a person adopts Plato's views is the extent that he or she holds that: 1. Standards for morals and ethics are products of changeable opinions rather than products of objective reality. 2. Power is to be used as an end in itself to determine who through their "wisdom" (through their feelings, whims, wishes, "intuition") should rule or control others. 3. Facts, honesty, and logic are relative, arbitrary, disposable. 4. Principle does not matter: ends justify the means. By nature, Plato nourishes not only all despots and dictators, but politicians and bureaucrats at all levels of government. Plato justifies the striving for power at the expense of the rights, property, and life of others. Plato provides the rationalization for all laziness, dishonesty, and value destruction -- for all subjective, unjust non sequiturs and actions used to usurp power and values from others. According to Plato, the rights and needs of individuals are secondary to any external "authority's" desire to usurp values and power. Indeed, Plato assigns virtue to sacrificing individual rights and needs to any arbitrary "higher cause", "higher power", or external "authority". ...Thus, Plato is the philosophical father of mysticism and neocheating. The second type subconsciously orients around Aristotle's philosophy -- an objective, reality-based philosophy. The extent that a person adopts Aristotle's view is the extent he or she holds that: 1. Standards for morals and ethics are products of objective reality rather than products of changeable opinions. 2. The well-being of society is enhanced to the extent that individuals are free to produce objective values for themselves and others. 3. Facts, honesty, and logic are absolute, unchangeable, eternal. 4. Principle matters: ends do not justify the means. By nature, Aristotle nourishes all value producers. The Aristotelian-oriented person has a loyalty to honesty. That person strives to avoid acting on whims, feelings, or wishes. Instead, that person strives to identify and integrate contextual facts in order to act in a rationally consistent manner that generates maximum values for others. Thus, Aristotle is the philosophical father of business and Neo-Tech.
Making Judgments While most people outwardly exhibit mixtures of Platonistic and Aristotelian views, everyone holds a dominant view of life that is either Platonistic or Aristotelian. Once the Platonistic and Aristotelian views are understood, the dominant view of most individuals becomes evident. With that understanding, one can detect the philosophical core of anyone seeking or holding government power -- from the president of the United States to a planning commissioner of a small desert town. Now, after 2500 years, an objective standard exists to judge power and authority: Who should hold government power over the life, property, and freedom of individuals? A person with Plato's view or a person with Aristotle's view? The answer is...neither. The Neo-Tech View All forms of external power or authority undermine the productive, self-responsible nature of human beings. Thus, all such authority is bogus and eventually harmful to everyone. No person, group, or government has the right to deny or grant permission for individuals to use their own earned property in ways not infringing on the life or property rights of other individuals. Note: After sending this report to members of the city council, the property owner proceeded to build the room without permission or interference from the "authorities". Neo-Tech Advantage #87 FREEDOM, RESPONSIBILITY, AND PROSPERITY Mystic-free individuals who think and act with full-context integrations can easily retake power usurped by the mystics and neocheaters. And a mystic-free, Neo-Tech person can always outcompete those hampered with mysticism in personal and business endeavors. To consistently act in the rational interest of self, others, and society requires mystic-free thinking and actions in concert with fully integrated honesty...which is Neo-Tech. With Neo-Tech, people can free themselves of the life-stunting oppression imposed by external "authorities". Once free, Neo-Tech people become totally responsible and accountable for their own actions and, thus, gain full control of their own lives and well-beings. Only with that responsibility and control can individuals be of maximum value to others in producing values. But those ideas of freedom and responsibility contradict the premises of both conservatives and "liberals". All such advocates of government control claim that individuals must in various ways be controlled by force or coercion to keep them from hurting themselves and others. And that is the greatest of all myths. That great myth begins by omitting the adjective rational from the words self-interest. Such an omission allows one to falsely imply that free individuals will normally pursue irrational "self-interests" such as fraud, theft, assault, rape, murder if not controlled by government force or regulations. Irrational actions are always destructive to a person's self-interest, thus, are contrary to human nature. Irrationality, by nature, never works to the well-being of anyone. The human organism, as any living organism, if unfettered and free, works by nature toward the long-range best interest of everyone. Similarly, every cell and organ in one's body freely functions toward its own well-being in order to deliver maximum benefits to the entire body. Cells and organs do not sacrifice themselves to other cells and organs. If they did, the entire body would die. Likewise, individuals free to function toward their own rational, nonsacrificial self-interests will achieve maximum prosperity for themselves, others, and society. If they allow themselves to be sacrificed, everyone loses except the neocheaters promoting sacrifice of others to their destructive, self-serving "causes".
Free, unsacrificed individuals provide the maximum benefits to others and society. But that is not the reason why government force and coercion against individuals by nonproductive mystics and neocheaters are morally wrong. Independent of the practical benefits, the principle stands: Each individual has the inalienable right to his or her own mind, body, and earned property regardless of those benefits that naturally accrue to others and society. No one can ever rightfully own or morally take any portion of another individual's life or earned property. Freedom and property can be taken from an individual in only one of two ways: (1) by his or her consent (moral), (2) by initiatory force, threat of force, coercion, or fraud (immoral). All governments throughout history have immorally usurped individual freedom and property from their citizens by initiatory force or the threat of force. And that theft is always done under the Platonistic rationalization of serving some common "good" or "higher" cause.[ 48 ] All governments today initiate force or threats of force to deprive their citizens of their property, prosperity, freedom, happiness. ...While everyone has the right to use self-defense force, no one or no government has the right to initiate force or threats of force against anyone, for any reason, under any circumstances. Why do certain people such as politicians, thieves, theologians, social intellectuals, many media people, most lawyers, most professors, and all other professional value destroyers seek to live by force, fraud, deception, or coercion? Why do they seek to live by usurping values from others rather than to live by producing values for others? One discovers the answer by stripping the layers of rationalization from such people. Beneath those layers is a lack of maturity and self-esteem, a lack of self-responsibility and independence, a lack of honesty and effort. For they made a secret choice to be dishonest, lazy, and dependent on others for survival -- a secret choice to avoid the constant integrated efforts needed to contextually understand reality. And such honest, contextual understandings are needed to produce competitive values desired by others. Also, professional mystics, neocheaters, and other value destroyers hold various degrees of secret fear and envious hatred toward the value producer. After stripping away the various rationalizations from those value destroyers, the same core -- no matter how skillfully hidden -- always manifests itself. That core is dishonest laziness: a default against the constant hard effort needed to competitively produce values that benefit others. Self-responsibility, rationality, honesty, and effort are necessary for human well-being and happiness. To live as designed by nature, people must produce competitive, tradeable values (goods or services) that others desire and will voluntarily buy.[ 49 ] By contrast, the character core of mystics, neocheaters, politicians, and other value destroyers is dishonest laziness. Consider, for example, essentially all politicians are lazy, despite their often cleverly staged, look-like-work flurries. Those flurries of "work" are really nothing more than flurries of antiproductive machinations or ego-boosting power ploys. Such destructive machinations are the daily routines of dictators, prime ministers, and presidents as so starkly revealed in the putrefied personal lives of neocheating politicians as Lincoln, Wilson, Stalin, Hitler, Churchill, FDR, LBJ. They are all soul mates concealing their mutual secret of laziness and living off the productive efforts of others. Most professional mystics and neocheaters are "liberal" oriented.[ 50 ] To live off the producers, those modern "liberals" must promote the false notion that human needs are human rights. They must promote their nonsequitur emotional hoax that being "compassionate" means forcing the value producer to fill their parasitical needs. Gaining unearned values is the foremost concern of "liberals". Yet, they constantly project that they are concerned about "higher values" and "compassion" for others. But their compassionate images are hypocritical shams. For, professional mystics and neocheaters are interested only in unearned power and bogus jobs so they can go through life living off the values produced by others.
Since professional mystics, neocheaters, and other value destroyers are not self-sufficient, they must spend their lives in a deceptive, resentful struggle designed to extract their material and emotional needs from the producer. Even those nonproducers who have inherited wealth are psychologically dependent on the producer. Those wealthy nonproducers must attack or undermine the producer to elevate their own weak egos and to camouflage their worthlessness. Because of their parasitical nature, "liberals" are generally more destructive than conservatives. For, conservatives are often misguided value producers who live pragmatically -- without consistent principles. ...But also, some of the most clever neocheaters adopt conservative, free-enterprise images to dupe the producer into surrendering his or her earned power and self-esteem. Conservatives generally promote material and economic freedom. But, to gain their unearned power, they want government to control morality and ideas. Most "liberals", on the other hand, appear to promote freedom of ideas such as free press, academic freedom, no censorship, freedom in the arts. Ultimately, however, that freedom is granted only to those who support their usurpations. For, to survive, "liberals" need governments to usurp money and values earned by others. ...What about "middle of the roaders"? They favor various mixtures of government control over individual minds, morals, bodies, and property. ...They are little more than pragmatists with no principles. Only Neo-Tech people reject all usurpations of value, uses of force, and gun-backed controls over individuals. For Neo-Tech people orient exclusively around individual rights, not fake human rights. Both conservatives and "liberals", on the other hand, orient around two areas of false government power. Those separate areas they arrogate for themselves are: (1) controlling the mind and moral realms for the conservatives, (2) controlling the body and material realms for the "liberals". ...Only Neo-Tech people want to control no one in any way. They have no need or desire to control the spiritual or material realm of anyone. They recognize everyone's sovereign right to both realms. *** The link between big business and laissez-faire capitalism is largely a myth originating from Karl Marx's antiintellectual canards in his book Das Kapital. Consider that laissez faire is a French phrase meaning, "to let do", or "to let people do as they choose". Thus, laissez-faire capitalism means neither pro big business nor anti big business, but means simply individual freedom. Yet, today, most chief executives of large stagnated businesses are anti laissez-faire. Indeed, many entrenched CEOs support fascist concepts of big government. For such concepts utilize force-backed government regulations needed to protect their jobs and businesses from more competent, harder-working entrepreneurs and foreign competitors. Laissez-faire capitalism simply means no government control over individuals and their property -- a Neo-Tech atmosphere. Within such an atmosphere, individuals are free to create and build businesses, including big businesses, even monopolistic big businesses. Within that laissez-faire atmosphere, government would have no power to support big businesses or protect monopolies (e.g., many banking, utility, and communication companies are monopolies protected by government force). Without government protection or assistance, big businesses and monopolies could exist and grow only by continually delivering better values than anyone else. Whenever any monopoly failed to deliver maximum values, the free-market dynamics in the absence of government controls would cause that monopoly either to deliver better values or yield to others delivering greater values. ...Market dynamics free of government controls will sooner or later collapse uncompetitive or harmful businesses, monopolies, or cartels. Companies, businesses, industries, and monopolies are not detached entities, but are composed of individuals who function through individual thoughts and actions. Business entities are the property and extension of individual
human beings. Thus, businesses possess the same inalienable rights of free action and ownership of earned values as individuals. Also, individuals and their honest businesses exert power through peaceful voluntary free choices, not through force, coercion, or deception as do professional value destroyers in or out of government. Most government agencies ultimately exist through force, coercion, or deception. Thus, such agencies that depend on threats and force have no moral right to exist. Those agencies are in reality coercive engines of antisocial actions. Governments are colossal mystical frauds that usurp power and values by force-backed laws and regulations. And those usurpations are used to further violate individual and property rights. Such destructive processes keep building and feeding on themselves. ...All value producers would benefit greatly without such governments. Today, upper management of big-business is increasingly controlled by altruistic, neocheating "businessmen" who apologize for the business they now control, but never built[ 51 ] [Re: Neo-Tech IV]. Those altruistic "businessmen" are usually fascist oriented. For they use government force to shield their businesses from competition. Indeed, they promote anti-capitalistic legislation, regulations, and controls. The unspoken policies of those executives are to gain government favors and to encourage government-forced regulations that block more competent competitors and diminish or halt superior-value imports. Such executives realize that, without government interference, the free-market competition would eventually eliminate their jobs and their poorly managed businesses that they have drained through harmful government-approved, socially oriented "business" policies. Government-corporate collusions inflate prices, lower quality, block competition, and are the antithesis of free enterprise. Indeed, the greatest enemies of free enterprise are not the socialists or "liberals", but are those business leaders who collude with government to consolidate their power without having to earn that power in a competitive, value-producing atmosphere.[ 52 ] Perhaps the most evil collusions occur between neocheating executives of large companies and government bureaucrats in promoting envy-motivated antitrust laws. Those immoral laws are designed to penalize the most competitive companies and productive businessmen. But increasingly, the growing number of Neo-Tech executives will rid the corporate world of those government-colluding executives who neocheated their way to unearned power through force-backed laws, regulations, and controls. [Re: Mark Hamilton's "Ending the White-Collar Hoax" (Pincer #2) published by I & O.] Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 48 ] By contrast, no higher good or cause can logically exist i n this universe than the individual conscious being. For each individual, what could possibly be more important than his or her own one-and-only life? Nothing can, could, or should be more important. Indeed, without the conscious life of individual beings, existence itself would have no value or meaning. [ 49 ] How many free, honest, productive people would voluntarily buy the "services" of a politician, a bureaucrat, a dictator, or a social "intellectual"?
[ 50 ] "Liberal" is placed in quotes because those who are called liberals today are the opposite of the past, classical liberals who represented anti-force, pro-individual ideas. Modern "liberals" do not have good intentions. They are anti-individual, anti-intellectual, pro-government-force reactionaries who have dishonestly usurped the label of "liberal" to create illusions of respectability and validity. Yet, they are nothing more than dishonest, immature people with criminal minds who survive by stealing power and values from the value producer. [ 51 ] Essentially every big business was originally created and built by an honest, heroically productive individual such as E. I. du Pont, Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, John D. Rockefeller, Harvey Firestone, and other industrial supermen. Such men are the true benefactors of working-class people, of value producers, of society and civilization. For those industrial supermen intensely pursued the moral objectives of benefiting their customers, workers, managers, and investors by delivering spectacular values to society at ever lower costs. Those creative, productive individuals contrast sharply with destructive, media-made "heroes" such as the Lincolns, FDRs, Naders, Kennedys, and other such bad-intentioned nonproducers who survive by attacking and harming value producers, their products, their businesses. While never honestly acknowledging those who produce great wealth and values, the "liberal" or neocheating journalists and writers often praise the wealthy, nonproductive scions of past industrial heroes. Neocheaters especially praise those immature, nonbusiness-like "philanthropists" who dissipate inherited wealth such as Henry Ford III and Nelson Rockefeller. And those same journalists and writers attack nearly every major value created by outstanding businessmen, scientists, and industrialists. For example, under such guises as ecology, consumerism, or "compassion", the "liberal" media attack, often with rabid envy, the greatest, most heroic values created by conscious beings. Such outstanding values attacked include the automobile, the computer, the drug industry, the petroleum and mining industries, and America's magnificent food processing and distribution systems. At the same time, the "liberal" media are quick to praise progressively meaner values such as the car pool, the abacus, folk medicine, hand-made goods, growing one's own food. They promote those kinds of unheroic, mean values under good-sounding non sequiturs as returning to basic "values", returning to hand-made quality, returning to nature. [ 52 ] An example of a big-business, conservative publication that effectively works against free-enterprise and Neo-Tech principles is The Wall Street Journal. Its editorial policy is pragmatic (not based on principles) and often advocates the use of government industrial policies, controls, regulations to "help" those big businesses controlled by lazy or incompetent management. Such an editorial policy is basically dishonest and fascist oriented, which is ultimately backed by guns. ...By contrast, the Journal's sister publication, Barrons, is basically honest and free-enterprise oriented, which is ultimately backed by free competition. Neo-Tech Advantage #88 NEO-TECHING BUSINESS Neo-Tech IV reveals the malevolent destruction of altruism as opposed to the benevolent productivity of business. Neo-Tech IV also demonstrates how neocheating executives are today undermining many great corporations. They can often hide their destructive drain of assets for many years by continually shifting long-range efforts into increasingly shorter-range pay-offs that keep profits growing while concealing the eventual, dead-end quality of such profits. If altruistic chief executives are taking over major corporations and causing their long-range demise, who then is left to stop the neocheaters' continued consumption of business? Who will lead the way to a society in which
mysticism and the resulting neocheating are eliminated? Who will uphold the productive individual as the highest value? Who will lead the way to a society in which prosperity, happiness, and biological immortality will reign supreme among human beings? The answer is today's growing army of value producers who are becoming knowledgeable about Neo-Tech. For such people hold genuine power as identified in the Epilogue in Neo-Tech IV. That Epilogue is from a report titled, "The Fundamental Principle that Determines the Long-Range Common Stock Value of a Corporation". And that report points the way for creating great, long-range wealth within any productive corporation. One key necessity is to establish an Industrial-Philosophy Department responsible for making major actions consistent with the principles of fully integrated honesty (Neo-Tech). ...Neo-Teching business policies and actions inject vitality and profitability into companies, large or small. Neo-Teching the World of Mystics and Neocheaters Neo-Tech traps professional mystics and neocheaters in their world of big lies. Neo-Tech reveals the exact opposite to what most people have been led to believe by mystics and neocheaters. For example, how many people realize that: 1. The media-labeled, 19th century "robber barons", such as the transcontinental railroad builder Jay Gould, were heroic value producers who enormously benefited the working class and society -- more so on net than all the politicians, clergymen, and Nobel peace laureates who ever lived, combined. 2. Despite Charles Dickens' burning intentions to depict the contrary in his Christmas Story, the most honest, moral, productive, and happy character is Ebenezer Scrooge. That is until the mystics and neocheaters guilttripped him into becoming a maudlin altruist who as a result would eventually ruin his business and destroy the livelihoods of many who had attacked him. 3. The political/religious/media axis have built the highest reverence and respect for some of the bloodiest, most morally perverted, but most brilliant succession of neocheaters in the history -- the popes and cardinals. And with bizarre irony, those men, by competitive necessity, were and are closet atheists. In fact, the entire upper hierarchy of the most powerful religion (or of any powerful religion or other neocheating organization) would have to be closet atheists in order to be aware, competent, and competitive enough to achieve their power. On knowing the nature of neocheating, one fact becomes compellingly obvious: To successfully impose such an ingenious, big-lie, 2000-year hoax continuously on millions of confused, mystical-accepting victims, all popes and cardinals could not be intellectually crippled with the disintegrated thinking of theism. For any high-ranking Catholic official believing his own mystical, God-concept propaganda would be (1) too benighted to outmaneuver the fierce competition vying for power, and (2) too unaware and incompetent to orchestrate such a mighty hoax. Thus, all popes, cardinals, and probably most bishops would have to be atheists to be aware enough for attaining their positions of power. Also, theists would be too naive, unaware, and uncompetitive to perpetuate for centuries such a cleverly integrated hoax. ...Only those who saw through their own promulgated mysticism would be aware and competent enough to win the fierce competition for the positions of power occupied by popes and cardinals. 4. Only a small percentage of university professors today are intellectuals. Genuine intellectuals use their minds rationally, honestly, productively. Most university professors today are fake intellectuals who use their minds cleverly, dishonestly, and destructively to hold their bogus jobs. They are professional neocheaters. Thus, even the most "famous" of such professors, even Nobel laureates, do not produce net values. Instead they wreak great damage on the minds of their students. ...Neo-Tech will bring a worldwide purge of such university professors. Great intellectuals exist in every major area of productive human activity. Genuine intellectuals are those businessmen, industrialists, scientists, engineers, artists, musicians, and educators who advance their profession by using their minds honestly in working hard through rational actions. A rational, hard-driving, successful mining
engineer, for example, is highly intellectual in mining, but may not be highly intellectual in English literature. At the same time, a university professor of English literature is probably not highly intellectual in mining. Indeed, he may be incompetent to function intellectually in any area of business. Perhaps he is even incompetent in English, especially if he or she is a low-effort, laid-back, tenured professor living off taxpayers. Such professors damage students' minds by using non sequiturs to attack the potency of the logical mind, reason, heroic value producers, and their life-giving products. The only difference between intellectualism in the business world versus intellectualism in the academic world is that performance in business is much easier to measure and thus more difficult to fake. That is why the academic world accumulates such a high percentage of lazy charlatans and clever pseudo-intellectuals compared to the business world. Those charlatans and pseudo intellectuals cannot survive in the business world. For, through their fake jobs cleverly designed to camouflage their laziness and dishonesty, they have become uncompetitive and incompetent. Still, they can fake lifelong careers in the academic world. And as long as mysticism and altruism dominate philosophical thought, such pseudo-intellectual neocheaters will proliferate throughout the academic world. 5. The many pseudo ecologists and self-appointed "consumer advocates" today are not interested in protecting the environment or human beings. Deceptively hidden behind their neocheating non sequiturs and destructive work is a contempt for human life and happiness. They use ecology and consumerism as tools of demagoguery, often with the goal to cripple and eventually eliminate the benefits of technology, industry, and free enterprise. As a result, many valid ecological problems are obscured, confused, and remain unsolved. Moreover, the long-range destructiveness of such neocheaters is surfacing in many areas. For example, consider Rachel Carson's decadesold book, "Silent Spring": Its specious charges and unscientific conclusions caused the banning of DDT, which in turn caused a resurgence of malaria in Asia and Sri Lanka at the eventual cost of perhaps a million lives -- lives of human beings, not birds or fish. Yet, people will never find those facts among the neocheating academe and media. With government banning of DDT and other pesticides, the mosquito and insect populations burgeoned along with a proportional rise in "ecologist" caused famine and disease such as malaria and encephalitis. In addition, those irrational bannings have decimated trees and crops in the United States and around the world. The banning of DDT has also lowered the world standard of living by billions of dollars per year in crop losses and expenses. That, in turn, significantly increased third-world inflation, hunger, suffering, famine, and death. All that human death, destruction, and suffering starting from the handiwork of just one "ecologist" needing to feel good by boosting her pseudo self-esteem with dishonest non sequiturs. [For more details, see Neo-Tech Advantage #90.] An even more destructive breed of neocheaters exists who methodically decrease the living standards for everyone. That breed includes self-appointed, "consumer-advocate" demagogues epitomized by Ralph Nader and his raiders [Re: R. De Toledano's book, "Hit & Run", Arlington House]. In the long run, their destruction surpasses that of even the murderous bannings of DDT and cyclamates (see Neo-Tech Advantage #90). For the real targets of those "consumer advocates" are the value producers from which come all life-enhancing values. Moreover, the pervasively destructive work of Nader sets up the psychological conditions for unjust attacks on great valueproducing companies such as Union Carbide: Years ago, a great benevolent company, Union Carbide, was excoriated and threatened with extermination by the neocheating media and politicians for a tragic accident in India for which the Indian Government itself was responsible. The Indian politicians arbitrarily and irrationally forced Union Carbide to hire incompetent, distrustful nationals who were unable to perform even basic security-control operations. Such forced interference by government neocheaters left Union Carbide unable to properly protect its business from sabotage by envious, anti-business value destroyers. That sabotage at Union Carbide for which the Indian government was responsible left 2500 dead -- the worst industrial "accident" in history.
But that tragic loss of life was minuscule when compared to the routine, purposeful slaughter by political neocheaters. To the "liberal" media, the murder of 2500 people by their Marxist soul mates would hardly be newsworthy -- too common, too minor, too routine, not really that bad. Such examples starkly contrast the good of business people to the evil of political or government neocheaters. The loss of life from the worst industrial accident in history is little more than a casual day of slaughter for totalitarian neocheaters. For example, at the same time that Union Carbide was being excoriated by the dishonest media for sabotage that was not even the company's fault, no media outrage arose toward Marxist murderers in Ethiopia who were purposely starving to death millions of innocent men, women, and children they considered politically troublesome. Instead, the media were going through news-twisting contortions and telethon spectaculars in trying to falsely show the cause of that coldly calculated mass starvation was a drought rather than their soul-mate Marxist-Leninist politicians. They were mass murdering so they could feel big, feel important, feel unearned power. They were mass murdering by purposeful starvation, just as Stalin did two generations before in the Ukraine. Neo-Tech Advantage #89 PROTECTION FROM GOVERNMENT DESTRUCTION People build. Governments destroy. Who really needs governments? Productive individuals always suffer a net loss from mystically conceived, force-backed governments. Such governments diminish everyone's values, earnings, life. They survive by always expanding their unearned power. And they expand that power by increasingly transferring the earnings and property of the producer to the nonproducer by force, threats, coercion, fraud. Thus, governments and politicians, by nature, can offer only life diminishment as they continually increase their force-backed demands on the value producer. At the same time, they aggressively finagle respect and adulation for their destructions through non sequiturs and fake altruistic catchwords such as "compassion", "the heart", "humanitarian", "human rights". But never do they mention the only valid points -- individual rights and competitive value production. To psychologically survive, politicians must garner praise for their usurping values from others without producing values for others. They use the handy, God-like, "goodness" gimmicks of altruism to make their destructive actions seem "good", "compassionate" and "humane" while hiding the criminality of their destructions. Such is the nature of political neocheaters and their media, academic, and religious collaborators. For that reason, effective business people who exist by producing values for others have no desire, time, or reason to diminish their lives by becoming politicians or other neocheaters who exist by usurping values from others. All political, religious, academe, and media neocheaters destroy the personal property and individual rights of others through escalating usurpations from value producers. Without Neo-Tech to stop the neocheaters, they would eventually dissipate all productive wealth and individual freedom, causing a worldwide economic collapse with an enormous loss of human life, well-being, and happiness. [Re: Table 53, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia shows how to protect property and happiness from government destruction.] The need to protect oneself from neocheaters reveals another destructive effect of mysticism: Government neocheaters usurp values for themselves and their parasitical soul mates. As the neocheaters attack and usurp those values, the most productive citizens are drained of investment capital, creative energy, individual freedom, and irreplaceable time. Those producers must increasingly struggle to protect themselves, their loved ones, their property, their means of production, and especially their time from the ravages of government value destroyers. More and more valuable time, capital, and effort are wasted in: 1. following destructive bureaucratisms and irrational government regulations, and
2. studying, paying attention to, and speculating in nonproductive asset protectors, tax shelters, and inflation hedges such as gold and silver. Many people go broke through such speculations, especially those who act mystically. For example, the libertarian movement was broken by acts of self-mysticism -- by those acting on emotions of economic revenge and wishful thinking in hopes of acquiring effortless wealth through leveraged gold and silver speculations. With such speculations come the unhappy emotions that accompany disaster-oriented speculations. Those emotions include hoping for economic collapse, crop devastation, mass destruction, war, or other major disasters in order to have those speculations "pay-off". ...Buying gold on margin and hoping for war and other catastrophes is an unhappy way to live. Also, people increasingly lose concentration on their productive work as they follow their speculations. Producers become unproductive speculators[ 53 ] as they increasingly look for easy wealth through speculation rather than through producing values with integrated thought and hard work. But in a Neo-Tech society free of neocheaters and destructive governments, all that time, energy, and capital would be channeled into uses that benefit the individual and society: Producers would spend more of their time and energy on producing values for others rather than on having to protect themselves from government value destroyers. Governments are nothing more than groups of people. Many of those people are value destroyers who exist by usurping power and values from others to the harm of everyone and society. Some, however, do honest work in the government, especially in service areas such as postal, police, park, library, scientific, technical, military, intelligence. But all governments are controlled by neocheating politicians, bureaucrats, and lawyers living off the producer. Behind all their rhetoric about "service to society" and "working for higher causes" is their need to survive by usurping values earned by others. Power usurped through government force gives neocheating politicians illusions of control over reality. They use those rationalized illusions to build pseudo self-esteems needed for psychological survival. Their need for unearned power grows from a base of laziness, immaturity, a lack of self-responsibility, and a desire for an easy route to "accomplishment" and "control". By contrast, self-sufficient producers such as successful business people earn genuine self-esteem through their own integrated thinking and hard efforts. They have no need for unearned power or usurped values. They have no desire to forcibly control the lives of others. That is why genuine value producers are seldom, if ever, interested in politics. ...Productive business people are too busy being happy, creative, and productive to waste their precious time on unhappy, destructive politics. Earning major values along with long-range happiness requires an independent aloneness. Neocheaters, nonproducers, value destroyers, and politicians dread that aloneness. The glib politician, being psychologically and materially dependent on others for survival, has a desperate need to be among people, to buy their favor with tax money, and to become increasingly involved in their lives by increasing government control over them. ...The worst situation for the neocheater or politician is to be left alone, especially to be left alone to survive by his or her own efforts. By contrast, the value producer usually has no desire to get involved with the "public" lest his or her irreplaceable time for value production be wasted. Perhaps the cruelest of government neocheaters are those "liberals" whose actions pass under the specious banner of protecting the elderly. For, their neocheating actions always end up draining the well-being, happiness, and earned savings of elderly people. Most elderly people no longer have growing assets or competitive earning power. A large percentage of them have worked hard and honestly throughout their lives only to have government policies drive them into the inescapable trap of government dependency. They are further lured into that government trap by, for example,
social-security policies that offer temporary relief from inflation only to be devastated by the next wave of inflation and a failing social-security system. Government manipulations through taxation and inflation diminish the well-being and happiness of everyone. But those destructive manipulations especially debilitate elderly people dependent on the government for survival. For, governments subtly push their dependent elderly citizens toward unhappiness, suffering, early death. Most elderly people deliver themselves into that dependency trap by believing that government is a benevolent, positive force that will somehow benefit them in the present and help them in the future. The opposite is true. By nature, no one can ever look to any government for net benefits. Indeed, the essence of government is value destruction from which long-range benefits and values can never flow. Thus, one must always avoid government dependency to protect his or her well-being and happiness. The unhappiness trap shuts when a person becomes dependent on government for needs. Once the trap is shut, that person's life turns downward with declining self-esteem, well-being, and happiness.[ 54 ] To avoid that trap, a person must recognize that government is by nature a destructive, life-negating force that should be avoided in every possible way. A person should never believe in, count on, or become dependent on any aspect of government for his or her present or future well-being. The only way to retain growing prosperity and happiness is to remain independent, self-sufficient, and commercially productive, especially as one grows older.[ 55 ] The best asset for future prosperity and the best protection against government, mystics, and neocheaters is fully integrated honesty -- or Neo-Tech. Indeed, Neo-Tech is the development of personal honesty, integrity, and the ability to perceive reality accurately in order to competitively produce values for others. Thus, the most valuable gift given to children and adults is Neo-Tech knowledge. For that is the knowledge needed to accurately perceive reality, to reject mysticism and neocheating, to develop personal integrity, and to competitively produce tradeable values desired by others. Conservative, libertarian, and most anarchist political movements offer no long-term protection from valuedestroying mysticism and neocheating. In fact, such political movements eventually add to disorder and the destruction of values. For all of those movements are pragmatic and not based on fully integrated honesty. Thus, they only serve to tear down one destructive, mystical system while providing a starting point for an even more destructive, mystical system as happened in Russia, Nazi Germany, Red China, Cuba, Iran, Nicaragua. Similar shifting forms of mysticism are happening in the United States. Such examples include those "liberal"demagogue movements orchestrated to undermine rational efforts for national defense and self-protection. In any case, the only certain, long-term self-defense protection from government -- domestic and foreign -- is to collapse the hoax of mysticism in order to eliminate its symbiotic, value-destroying neocheaters.

[ 54 ] Innocence is what traps most honest, productive people. Believing that most people are basically good and honest (which is fact), productive people cannot grasp or imagine the inherently dishonest nature of governments. They can not grasp the immature, evil nature of neocheating politicians, bogus-job bureaucrats, and their agents of force who exist through camouflaged value destructions. [ 55 ] Useless old age is neither natural nor inevitable for anyone, despite constant government inducement to become aged, retired, useless, and dependent on neocheating politicians for survival. [Re: Concept 114, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] Neo-Tech Advantage #90 GOVERNMENT DEATH MACHINES AND THE ULTIMATE BATTLE All current governments depend on coercion and force. Thus, they are destructive to human life, productivity, prosperity, and happiness. The destructiveness of the United States government is implemented mainly through force-backed bureaucracies such as the BATF, EPA, FDA, FTC, INS, IRS, OSHA, and the SEC. Consider, for example, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA): That bureaucracy has been responsible for the premature death of many thousands of people through its arbitrary, forced banning of such life-saving, freechoice discoveries as the cyclamate artificial sweetener. The palatable cyclamates effectively replaced the deadly poison of sugar to reduce caloric/carbohydrate intake, obesity ailments, diabetes, heart-attack deaths for millions of people. Such FDA value destructions serve only to satisfy some value-destroying bureaucrat's need to feel important, to feel unearned power through destruction of human lives and values. Also, the arbitrary banning or controlling of life-saving products such as non-toxic pesticides, herbicides, food preservatives and additives, new drugs and medicines has caused death and suffering on massive scales.[ 56 ] In addition, FDA regulations on drug research and marketing retard or prevent the development of many lifebenefiting, life-saving drugs, medicines, and devices while increasing research and development costs to prohibitive levels. Effective cancer cures, for example, would certainly have been developed years ago if research and business were free from regulations and controls. For, such freedom allows aggressive individuals and companies to openly pursue the full profit and achievement potential in discovering and marketing effective cures for cancer, AIDS, and other diseases. Even more important, FDA regulations block the required risk taking, incentive, and business freedom required for rapid development of human biological immortality. [Re: See Neo-Tech V] The blocking of human progress along with mass suffering and death are the natural results of government force. And government agencies are the instruments of such force. The essences of agencies such as the BATF, EPA, FDA, FTC, INS, IRS, OSHA, and the SEC are always destructive and their intentions are never good. Such agencies costing billions of dollars each year serve only to harm productive individuals and society. Indeed, those lifedepriving agencies are subtle death machines that are directly and indirectly responsible for more suffering and deaths than all wars of history. (Wars are also government sponsored.) Throughout history most governments with their use of force, fraud, and coercion begin as "legalized" protection rackets and always end as destructive engines of crime and death. Such governments operate under the rationalizations of protection, altruism, the social "good", and "higher" causes.[ 57 ] Agencies such as the EPA and FDA often carry out their destruction through dishonest assertions. They assert, for example, that DDT or cyclamates might be "bad" for the ecology or cause cancer in animals. Then they expand their power with a job-creating bureaucracy to control or ban such substances. Usually those agencies hide their
dishonesties with non sequitur "facts". They often manufacture unscientific data developed from spurious research to "prove", for example, that use of cyclamates might cause cancer in humans: Research on feeding megadoses of cyclamate diet sweetener to rats indicated that humans could experience bladder irritation or even tumors if they drank the equivalent of 700 bottles of diet soft drinks per day over an extended period of time. When, in fact, that amount of water alone (to say nothing of the immediately fatal amounts of sugar in less than 100 bottles of non-diet soda) would fatally break down the kidneys in human beings. Still, the FDA used those non-sequitur, rat-feeding data to assert that cyclamates can be cancer-producing in human beings. The FDA then demanded that the producers prove that cyclamates do not cause cancer. Since a negative cannot be proven, the government neocheaters subsequently used their dishonest, non-sequitur data to ban the sale of cyclamates without any scientific evidence of harm to a single human being. At the same time, those neocheaters purposely ignored the wide-ranging, beneficial, life-saving effects of that artificial sweetener. The FDA, EPA, or any other government agency never honestly attempts to prove their assertions. Rather, those agencies demand that the producers disprove their assertions. Their demands to disprove assertions or accusations contradict the concepts of honesty, objective law, and justice. Indeed, to demand proof of a negative undermines honesty by shifting the burden of proof away from the source making accusations (the neocheaters) to their victims (the value producers). Without the burden-of-proof standard, government and religious neocheaters avoid the responsibility to prove their assertions and accusations. Without the burden-of-proof standard, neocheaters are not accountable to honesty. Without that accountability to honesty, professional mystics and neocheaters can continue to usurp power and bogus livelihoods through fraud, deception, and force. Theists use that same arbitrary, anti-intellectual standard in asserting the existence of God. Unable to back their assertions with proof, they expect nonbelievers to prove that God does not exist. But that proving-a-negative ploy is intellectually untenable and undermines the protector of honesty, which is: the burden of proof always rests on the one making an assertion or accusation. *** By nature, most government bureaucracies cannot produce values. Thus, to grow, such bureaucracies must usurp power by destroying values. In turn, value destruction requires little competence or effort. Thus, by necessity, value destruction is the modus operandi of most government bureaucracies and agencies -- the most virulent being the BATF, EPA, FDA, FTC, INS, IRS, OSHA, and the SEC. To conceal their destructions, they masterfully use non-sequitur facts and mystical ploys to justify their destructive usurpations from the value producers. But now, after 2000 years, the evolvement of Neo-Tech will collapse and eliminate those fake empires of destruction. Often, only a scientist trained with the scientific method can identify the neocheater's dishonest use of facts and information. Without Neo-Tech, most people have no way to discern the dishonesty of neocheaters. And without Neo-Tech, most people will confusingly accept the neocheater's usurpation of values. But with Neo-Tech, destructive mysticism and neocheating ceases through the competitive dynamics of business.

[ 56 ] As shown in Advantage #88, the government-forced end to DD T alone is responsible for perhaps a million or more malaria deaths. Moreover, forced banning of pesticides, herbicides, and chemical preservatives is decreasing food productivity while increasing production costs, poverty, suffering, and starvation. [Re: J. Maddox, "The Doomsday Syndrome", McGraw-Hill] That irrational banning of valuable agriculture chemicals and food preservatives also causes greater food scarcity in famine areas to greatly increase worldwide malnutrition and starvation. The massive suffering and death in the name of protecting the environment or "doing-good" by government bureaucracies is documented in Grayson and Shepard's book, The Disaster Lobby, Follett Publishing Company. That book also demonstrates how advancing industrial and business technology free of government interference steadily (1) protects human life, (2) improves the environment -- water, air, land -- for human habitation, and (3) solves genuine ecological problems. [ 57 ] As the frauds of altruism and "higher causes" are identified and rejected by the value producers, the neocheaters will lose their unearned power. Once the value producers identify and reject mysticism, all fraudbased religions and force-backed governments will vanish. Neo-Tech Advantage #91 SUICIDE OPTION In addition to the false guilt laid on value producers by the mystics and neocheaters, a subtle psychological block inhibits many value producers from experiencing their earned happiness. That block is the subconscious fear that sometime in life one must lose his or her happiness...that someday one must endure terminal suffering and pain. Even without biological immortality, a terminal loss of happiness never has to be endured. So long as a productive person has some degree of freedom and choice, that person can always maintain and expand happiness. If circumstances totally beyond one's control forever eliminate all possibilities of maintaining and expanding happiness (i.e., a no-escape situation from a terror-totalitarian torture death or the final stages of a painful, terminal illness), the individual has the right and option to avoid a terminal existence of unhappiness and pain. That right and option is suicide. Suicide is every individual's personal right and final option. By fully and guiltlessly realizing that suicide is always available, a person is freer to live more fully in traveling an open-ended journey toward ever-expanding happiness. By accepting the concept of the suicide option, one never needs to fear the permanent loss of happiness. The suicide option should never be misconstrued as an escape or option when life is difficult, or seems hopeless, or even when one seems to lose everything, including one's invaluable, irreplaceable romantic-love partner. With consistent rational choices, a person can always experience increasing happiness again, no matter how difficult or painful the immediate situation seems. The only two situations in which suicide is a rational option for the productive individual are (1) a no-hope, high-suffering, terminal-illness situation, and (2) an absolutely no-escape, no-hope slavery/torture/death situation.[ 58 ] Ironically, suicide is also the only viable option for those irredeemably evil neocheaters who have murdered others for their bogus livelihoods and usurped power (i.e., all murderous dictators and terrorists as Castro, Idi Amin, Qaddafi, Pol Pot, Yasir Arafat, Ariel Sharon, Abu Nidal, Sinn Fein leaders, Khomeini, Li Ping). Neo-Tech Advantage #92 ANTI-OBSCENITY LAWS, CENSORSHIP, AND THE SUPREME COURT Despite the sexual errors projected by the "Playboy" philosophy that can lead to impotence and frigidity (see NeoTech Advantage #19), the Playboy Corporation made important contributions to both individual and sexual freedom
[Re: Concept 37, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Those contributions come not only through the open, guiltless views of pleasure and sex expressed in its magazine, but also through the Playboy Foundation and its monthly magazine feature, The Playboy Forum. That feature provides constant public exposure to the ongoing governmentneocheating ploy of usurping power through oppression of private sexual activities and other victimless "crimes". Perusing any issue of the Forum starkly reveals that even in this sexually-liberated era, individuals all over the United States are being arrested, harassed, humiliated, injured, tried, fined, and sent to jail for private, consenting sexual acts. The following list provides several examples of sexual oppression as taken from a randomly selected, six-page Forum feature in Playboy magazine: Couple out camping privately engage in oral sex in a secluded area of the woods. Both arrested by Texas Sheriff for sodomy. Both faced jail sentences of 2-15 years for their private, harmless love act. Four young people arrested for private nude bathing. Sheriff refused to let them dress and forced them to travel nude to the courthouse for arrest. In Sheboygan, Wisconsin, a couple was fined $100 each for engaging in sexual intercourse while not being married. Man released by a California Supreme Court order after serving five years of a life sentence for indecent exposure. A 1600 member organization of the Catholic Priest Association asked a Catholic bishop who defended birth-control pills to resign because of his "monstrous views". The Catholic organization declared that the bishop failed to "show the purity of Catholic doctrine", and failed to "rise above the murk and filth of modern man's sex life". A Canadian man charged with rape and gross indecency admitted at his trial that he had performed cunnilingus and intercourse with a consenting woman. Before the jury retired, 68-year-old Judge Campbell Grant said of cunnilingus, "Well, can you think of a more grossly indecent act? ...Frankly, gentlemen, I had to get the dictionary to know what it was about. I venture to say that most of you are the same." He went on to declare that "a dirty, filthy practice such as this is resorted to by no one but sexual perverts and is surely an infringement of the criminal code." The jury found the accused not guilty of rape, but guilty of gross indecency. He was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary. A book published by the Playboy Press, Sex American Style, cites many government laws that can and do jail innocent people for harmless, mutually consenting sex acts. That book includes articles by Hugh M. Hefner; "The Legal Enforcement of Morality" and "Tyranny Under the Law". Three decades ago, comic Lenny Bruce, despite his existentialistic errors that eventually killed him, made a major contribution toward breaking the oppressive religious/government grip of sexual-oppression laws and censorship. To stop his defiance of "moral" authority, the government directly abetted the death of Lenny Bruce. Hustler magazine, however disgusting its scatology, also played an important, front-trench role in buffeting the forces of sexual oppression and censorship. The government/religious axis in their failing trial designed to jail the publisher of Hustler, Larry Flynt, inspired an assassination attempt: As Mr. Flynt walked before the courthouse in Atlanta, Georgia, a bullet severed his spinal cord, paralyzing him for life. A generation ago, a nude-streaking fad broke across the United States. That fad was a timely, counter-response to the oppressive Supreme-Court anti-obscenity decision a year earlier. The motives for streaking and the effects on the streakers' self-esteem were probably unhealthy in most cases. But such overt, widespread flouting of sexual authoritarianism helped undermine the enforcement of oppressive censorship and anti-obscenity laws. Nude streaking broke the anti-obscenity momentum that was ominously building in the United States from that
Supreme-Court decision. But the anti-obscenity forces of religious and political neocheaters are now trying to reassert their oppressive powers granted to them by the conservative justices of the United States Supreme Court. The United States Supreme Court was meant to function as a principled, philosophical body designed to protect individual rights.[ 59 ] But recent decisions on obscenity and pornography have been void of principle in ignoring the concept of individual rights. An earlier Supreme Court (Memoires vs. Massachusetts) stated the following criterion for pornography: "A book cannot be proscribed unless it is found to be utterly without redeeming social value." That criterion ignored the principles of individual rights and property rights while opening the way for people to be jailed on the basis of some other person's judgment of the "social" merit of their work. Seven years later, the Supreme-Court Miller vs. California case negated individual rights in determining the following criteria to criminally convict for victimless pornography: "(a) whether the average person applying contemporary community standards would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest...(b) whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law, and (c) whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value." That Supreme Court ruling left the individual unprotected and at the mercy of any judge, prosecutor, police force, or community. Any of those forces can now attack, prosecute, and jail an individual under arbitrary standards such as (1) contemporary community standards, or (2) "offensive" as defined by a state law, or (3) if the work lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. In other words, anyone who disagrees with the arbitrary standards of the empowered authorities (judge, police, community leaders) can potentially be jailed through current anti-obscenity laws. Such nonobjective law is a major step toward censorship, which is the precursor to totalitarianism. The above Supreme Court majority opinion, which abridges individual rights, was written by the conservative Chief Justice and supported by the other four conservative justices in a 5 to 4 decision. Only Justice Douglas identified the issue of individual rights in his dissenting opinion: "The idea that the First Amendment permits punishment for ideas that are 'offensive' to the particular judge or jury sitting in judgment is astounding. No greater leveler of speech or literature has ever been designed. To give the power to the censor, as we do today, is to make a sharp and radical break with the traditions of a free society. The First Amendment was not fashioned as a vehicle for dispensing tranquilizers to the people. Its prime function was to keep debate open to 'offensive' as well as to 'staid' people. The tendency throughout history has been to subdue the individual and to exalt the power of government. The use of the standard 'offensive' gives authority to government that cuts the very vitals out of the First Amendment. As is intimated by the Court's opinion, the materials before us may be garbage, but so is much of what is said in political campaigns, in the daily press, on TV or over the radio. By reason of the First Amendment -- and solely because of it -- speakers and publishers have not been threatened or subdued because their thoughts and ideas may be 'offensive' to some." The conservative Chief Justice and his conservative associates on the Supreme Court shifted from the principle of protecting individual rights to an arbitrary, undefinable standard of "social good". Hitler, Stalin, and Mao also subjugated individual rights to their standards of "social good". Those arbitrary standards eventually included killing tens of millions of their own citizens for the "social good". Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page
Footnotes: [ 59 ] Throughout the checkered history of the United States Supr eme Court, one finds many disgraceful exceptions to its role as a principled body for protecting individual rights. Early in this century, for example, the United States Supreme Court favored explicit censorship by removing films from the protection of the First Amendment (free speech). The court then decreed that since films were made for profit, they did not deserve constitutional protection. In their decision, the justices conveniently ignored the fact that books and newspapers were also made for profit. Neo-Tech Advantage #93 1. FAILURE-TO-JUDGE SYNDROME, 2. ERRORS IN JUDGMENT, AND 3. SEGMENTED JUDGMENT A central theme of today's existentialist culture is "do not judge others". The neocheating media, social "intellectuals", and theologians continually tout, both implicitly and explicitly, the themes "do not judge others", "there are no absolute morals, no rights or wrongs", "everything is relative". Neocheaters have strong motivations for sowing themes of nonknowing and nonjudgment. Their livelihoods depend on keeping others from knowing and judging the parasitism and destruction inflicted by professional mystics and neocheaters onto society. The continuous campaign to repress moral judgment depends largely on the specious technique of pointing to various erroneous judgments and then implying that such errors are inherent in all judgments. From that false reasoning, neocheaters dishonestly assert that all moral judgments are wrong, unfair, or harmful. From that conclusion, they compound their dishonesty by further asserting that moral judgments should never be made. Moreover, armed with specious egalitarian slogans or Biblical parables, those neocheaters, especially media journalists, malign or castigate those who have the courage and confidence to make honest moral judgments about value destroyers. While, at the same time, those same neocheaters constantly, dishonestly, hypocritically attack their victims (i.e., the value producers) with negative moral judgements that are false. How are valid moral judgments made? Such judgments are made by using the biological nature and well-being of the conscious organism as the moral standard. With that objective standard, human actions can be consistently and validly judged by acquiring adequate facts and knowledge: 1. Only volitional actions involving conscious choices can be morally judged. All other actions are amoral. 2. A volitional action is moral, for example, if the action is beneficial to the conscious organism. Likewise, a volitional action is immoral if the action is harmful to the conscious organism. Or more simply, if a volitional action is rational and "good for me", it is moral; or if a volitional action is irrational and "bad for me", it is immoral. 3. The ability and willingness to make moral judgments are necessary to make sound decisions and function effectively. The more important the personal or business decision, the more important is the need to make accurate moral judgments. In turn, such judgments are crucial for making the correct decisions needed for abiding prosperity, happiness, and romantic love. Since making moral judgments is necessary for quality survival, a person must be aware of the possible traps and errors in making such judgments. Some of the traps and errors are those that the nonjudgment advocates take out of context to support their harangues that moral judgments should be avoided. ...Three common judgment traps or errors are listed below:
1. Erroneous or inadequate information to make a valid or accurate judgment is the most obvious and common cause of judgment errors. Everyone is subject to this error. But that does not preclude certainty over moral issues and judgments. The central argument of the nonjudgment neocheaters is that since no one can know everything or be error free, no one can be certain about anything, especially moral issues.[ 60 ] That argument is false. A person can be absolutely certain if given sufficient facts and context to validly measure against the axioms of objective reality. For example, questions of omniscience (knowing everything) and infallibility (being totally free of errors) do not enter into one's certainty of the axiomatic fact that two plus two equals four. The certainty of that fact is independent of anyone's thoughts or opinions of any culture, society, or time in history. And that fact also holds with certainty in other worlds and other universes. Indeed, that fact would hold true if no conscious life ever existed anywhere.[ 61 ] In the normal context, therefore, anyone can be absolutely certain about the judgment and knowledge that two plus two equals four without fear of error or contradiction. Likewise, without being omniscient or infallible, a person can be absolutely certain that one will not be struck by a car while riding in an airplane at 30,000 feet. A neocheating philosophy professor might try to invalidate that certainty by positing the non sequitur that someone could smuggle a mini car aboard, unveil it, drive down the aisle, and strike someone. With neocheaters and their non sequiturs dismissed, one can know with certainty the facts of objective reality on which abiding prosperity, happiness, and romantic love are based as identified by Neo-Tech. For, those facts of objective reality have always existed throughout the universe and will forever exist with certainty. And that certainty exists independent of consciousness and without requiring omniscience or infallibility by anyone. The function of human consciousness is not to "create" various realities (Plato), which is mysticism, but to identify and integrate the one and only reality as it resides anchored in existence (Aristotle). Identifying objective reality is the survival mechanism of conscious beings. For those identifications are the basis of rational judgments, beneficial actions, and rational successes. Since no one is omniscient or infallible, everyone is subject to specific errors. But that vulnerability to errors has no bearing on knowing objective reality or being able to make moral judgments with certainty. For example, with inadequate information and judgment errors, a person can temporarily choose the wrong romantic-love partner. But, at the same time, he or she can still know with certainty the objective standards needed for a valid romanticlove relationship. With that certainty, a person can more quickly recognize and correct such judgment errors. In other words, with adequate objective knowledge, a person can make moral judgments with certainty without being omniscient or infallible. A person can confidently proceed through life knowing that moral and character judgment can be performed with certainty. But again, that person must be aware of those areas subject to error because of inaccurate or incomplete knowledge or information. By always keeping the mind open to new information and being prepared to correct errors, the damage of judgment errors is minimized. All errors cause some damage, if only to waste a person's time. By nature, one is always responsible for and must bear the consequences of his or her actions and errors, innocent or not. But purposeful errors, of course, carry more severe consequences than innocent errors. 2. Infatuation is a subtler and often a more dangerous judgment error, especially when it occurs without realizing the error. Infatuation is the focusing on a single attractive or desirable characteristic of another person and then considering the total person as that one positive attribute. Infatuation is not only an unfair burden placed on the person being judged, but can lead to long-range disillusionment and pain for the person making the erroneous judgment. The infatuation-judgment error is a common "true-love-turns-sour" theme so often used in movies, novels, and magazine fiction. Infatuation is also the judgment error that delivers undeserved adulation to charismatic politicians, evangelists, and other neocheaters.
3. Reverse Infatuation is perhaps the most subtle form of judgment error. Still, reverse infatuation is a common error that can cause losses of potential values and happiness. Reverse infatuation involves the focusing on a negative characteristic of an individual and then considering that total person as that one negative attribute. That judgment error can be blinding, depriving, and unjust in obscuring areas of earned values and worth in other individuals. Even minor reverse infatuation puts unjust penalties on the person being judged. While valid criticisms about an individual should be identified and expressed when appropriate, the criticism should explicitly focus on those specific issues, not on the whole person. Reverse infatuation is constantly used as a grossly unfair, dishonest technique by media people as well as by politicians, clergymen, and academics to discredit value producers and their products, businesses, and ideas. *** THE SEGMENTED-JUDGMENT METHOD Segmented judging is a method to decrease judgment errors. This method provides a more fair, accurate, and valuable way to judge individuals, especially those important to one's life. This method is particularly important for judging potential romantic-love partners. Segmented judging consists of two essential parts: First, the recognition that people are many-faceted combinations of complex character traits -- usually combinations consisting mainly of objectively positive traits with some (often hidden) negative traits.[ 62 ] And second, objective judgments require a breaking down of those various character traits into as many separate components as possible. Once that breakdown is done, one can make more fair and accurate judgments by weighing specific positive traits against specific negative traits ("positive to me" values versus "negative to me" values[ 63 ]). The extent that the positive values outweigh the negative values is the extent one makes a positive moral judgment. Similarly, the extent that "positive to me" values outweigh the "negative to me" disvalues is the extent one makes a positive personal-value judgment. During a person's life, many of the personal "to me" values can change. But objective moral values are constant and never change. The most useful and accurate method to judge a potential romantic-love partner (or any person) is on a segmented "value-scale" basis. One cannot judge the whole of an individual on any specific aspect of his or her character, personality, actions, words, or behavior. Exclusively focusing on specific aspects of a person yields distorted, infatuation-type judgments. Instead, one should judge an individual by placing all the known characteristics and qualities of that person on either the "value to me" side or the "disvalue to me" side of the balance scale [Re: Table 58, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. The person is then judged by the extent that the scale tips to the value side or to the disvalue side. The evaluation of each person should always be kept open. In accumulating more experience or information about any person, the balance tilt can change. Growth, change, or deterioration of either the person doing the judging or the person being judged can cause the "value scale" to tilt more or less in one direction or even to switch to the other direction. The "value to me" standard is the most reliable, valuable way for an individual to judge the personal value of another individual. The direction and extent the "value scale" tilts is influenced by the personal-value system of the individual making the judgment. For the value weights often depend on personal wants, goals, needs and thus will vary from individual to individual. The same value scale can be used to measure the moral value of any individual. Unlike the subjective nature of many personal values, moral values are objective, definable, unchanging absolutes. [Re: Table 58, Neo-Tech
Reference Encyclopedia] ...Personal values are both objective and subjective, thus vary according to personal tastes and emotions. But moral values are objective and absolute, thus never vary. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 60 ] The certainty issue is a popular non-sequitur gimmick amon g anti-judgment mystics and neocheaters. They assert (often with ironic certainty) that since man cannot be certain about anything, he cannot know anything. If that assertion were so, which it is not, then all judgments and reason itself would be invalid. But professional mystics and neocheaters must constantly promote the false notions that reason is impotent and moral judgments are invalid. ...They must obfuscate reason and judgment to keep their own destructions from being recognized and judged by themselves and others. In a society of reason and judgment, the value producers would promptly put professional value destroyers out of business. [ 61 ] Certain out-of-context, non-sequitur anomalies are used by neocheaters and mystics to falsely invalidate axiomatic facts such as two plus two equals four. They point to the mixing of two quarts of water with two quarts of alcohol. That mixture yields less than four quarts. But that anomaly occurs because of certain known intermolecular-bonding forces between water and alcohol. Such physical-bonding facts have nothing more to do with mathematical facts than if one tosses two parts of sodium metal into two parts of water to produce a fiery explosion and a caustic mess that does not equal four. But, ironically, both of those reactions can be precisely predicted and understood because of the exact, absolute nature of mathematics. ...Or the neocheaters and mystics point to various examples of relativistic, noneuclidean mathematics or quantum mechanics that seem to contradict standard mathematics or physics. Such illusionary contradictions arise only because those facts have nothing to do with standard mathematics or physics. Yet, those facts are dishonestly used out of context to create false illusions of contradiction. [ 62 ] Value destroyers such as politicians and religious leaders are less complex than a value producer. For, they have more narrow or limited, anti-life characteristics. Moreover, all neocheaters have essentially the same destructive character. They differ mainly in their dishonest styles and the deceptions they project in concealing their harmful actions. ...All professional value destroyers, if given the guns and authority, have the criminal minds and characters for mass murdering to protect and expand their bogus livelihoods. [ 63 ] To the extent that personal "to-me" values contradict objective values is the extent that one is judging on erroneous philosophical or moral premises. Segmented judgment is thus not only helpful for judging others, but is helpful for judging one's own values. Not all "to-me" values, however, can be measured against objective moral standards. Many "to-me" values are personal-preference values that have no bearing on moral issues. For example, differences in attraction to various physical or personality aspects of another person or preferences towards different careers, recreational activities, tastes, intellectual interests, and appreciation of art and music usually (but not always) have no direct moral implications. Many personal values are merely preferences and tastes that develop from past experiences,
interests, and motivations that are not grounded in right or wrong issues, but arise from the uniqueness of the individual and his or her past experiences and development. Neo-Tech Advantage #94 OBJECTIVE THINKING VS. EMOTIONAL THINKING Positive emotions deliver pleasure and happiness. Negative emotions provide warnings that something is wrong. Thus, negative emotions and negative experiences should not be repressed[ 64 ] [Re: Concept 54, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Avoiding emotional repression involves consciously and guiltlessly feeling one's own emotions in order to know and defuse them. That honest, open dealing with emotions is necessary for (1) resisting harmful mystical actions, (2) building mental health, and most important, (3) experiencing psychuous pleasures, romantic love, and abiding happiness. Also, openly knowing and experiencing one's own emotions are necessary to distinguish those emotions from the independent world of objective reality. That understanding of emotions, in turn, is necessary to avoid unhealthy mystical actions. For basing judgments and conclusions on emotions rather than on reality causes harmful mystical actions. Such mystical actions, in turn, diminish the prosperity, well-being, and happiness of human beings. If important judgments or actions are mystically based on emotions, then grave errors with harmful consequences will result. A person can react to emotions in two ways: (1) The mystical, erroneous, harmful reaction that ranges from repressing emotions to overtly injecting emotions into the decision-making process. And (2), the nonmystical, beneficial reaction that recognizes and freely feels emotions, but then separates them from reality in order to make reasoned, logical judgments undistorted by emotions, whims, or feelings [Re: Table 59, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Because no one is infallible or omniscient, errors are always possible. But errors from honest, objectively based thinking are less frequent, less severe, and easier to correct than are errors from mystical, emotionally based thinking. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 64 ] Emotions never should be repressed, but at times emotions can and should be suppressed: Suppression involves being fully conscious of the emotion, but because of the circumstances, the emotion is temporarily set aside for experiencing at a more appropriate time. Suppression is a useful, healthy method for avoiding harmful mystical reactions based on emotions. Repression involves trying to deny an emotion by permanently forcing it out of the conscious mind. That act is a mystical distortion of reality, for emotions are a real, undeniable part of a person. By repressing an emotion out of the conscious mind, the emotion is pushed into the subconscious to remain buried. And accumulating buried, negative emotions can harm both one's psychological and intellectual well-being. For those festering, buried emotions can interfere with a person's accurate perception of reality needed to make correct integrations,
judgments, and decisions. ...One never has to act on negative emotions, but one should always guiltlessly selfacknowledge negative emotions. Neo-Tech Advantage #95 FOUR LEVELS OF COMMUNICATION Four levels of communication exist. The appropriateness of each level depends on the circumstances as illustrated below: LEVELS OF HUMAN COMMUNICATION Level of Communication
Description
Impersonal/Automatic Exchange of familiar or automatic phrases (e.g., how are you, good morning).
Smooth, pleasant, cheerful, efficient, noninvolvement method of dealing with people.
Impersonal/Factual Reporting facts.
Efficient, noninvolvement method of transmitting information to people.
Impersonal/Personal Reporting or communicating one's own ideas, thoughts, and judgments.
Can range from completely impersonal to deeply personal.
Personal Communicating personal feelings and thoughts.
Personal to deeply personal. Communication requirement for friendship and romantic love.
Many books on sex, love, marriage, and personality development imply that impersonal communication is inferior or undesirable. They further imply that highly personal communication is a superior, more honest form of communication toward which everyone should strive. Such implications are false and out of context: Openly revealing one's deep personal self to everyone diminishes self-esteem. That, in turn, militates against one's best interests and happiness. Nevertheless, many authors, gurus, and "therapists" advocate revealing one's personal and private self to all comers. Those "total-openness, let it all hang out" advocates are promoting an egalitarian recipe. That recipe calls for breaking everyone's ego by sharing all personal values and emotions with all comers. Such ego-breaking recipes are often well-disguised, downhill roads to impotence and unhappiness. Those advocating ego-breaking, emotional egalitarianism usually do so under false labels of openness and honesty. But the opposite is true. Failure to discriminate with whom one shares his or her private personal feelings destroys the potential for experiencing a close, genuinely open, romantic-love relationship with another human being. Instead, an egalitarian "total openness" to everyone is a cheap giveaway of an individual's most precious
possession -- one's own personal, private self. Nothing squelches romantic love more completely than a Leo Buscaglia's love-all, share-all egalitarian approach. A person can and should be sincere and honest to everyone without sharing his or her private self or emotions with everyone. In fact, when a person does share his or her private self with everyone else, that person's sincerity and motives become questionable. An objectively beneficial level of communication exists for every type of human relationship. [Re: Table 61, NeoTech Reference Encyclopedia] Only within a romantic relationship in which the partners love and value each other in their private universe can the full range of physical and psychological sharing be experienced without diminishing self-esteem. Within the romantic relationship resides the full scope of psychuous pleasures: the combination of full-range sexuality with the freedom to fearlessly share any aspect of one's self...any thought, feeling, fantasy, emotion -- good or bad, rational or irrational. Thus, a person can let go completely to share and guiltlessly experience any aspect of one's body, mind, emotion, imagination with his or her romantic-love partner. Within a romantic-love relationship, one can freely share any aspect of one's self and life. But one need not share every aspect. A person always has the guiltless right to privacy to any area of his or her life, even within the closest, most open and honest friendship or romantic-love relationship. Total honesty does not require total revealing all of one's private self. Indeed, absolute and total sharing of one's self and psyche involves losing the most profound essence of privacy. That loss, in turn, diminishes the sense of "I" and one's self-esteem. Retaining the essence of personal privacy is not an act of repression, inhibition, dishonesty, or lack of openness, but is a self-respect preservation of an individual's inherent right to privacy. To experience psychuous pleasures through romantic love requires genuine self-esteem (valuing of one's own self). Beyond the romantic-love relationship, self-esteem is diminished or even destroyed by indiscriminately sharing or by giving away one's personal, private self too cheaply. That loss of self-esteem can be especially severe (even leading to suicide) if one promiscuously gives away his or her private self just because socially chic books, gurus, and media commentators falsely promulgate the need to be totally open with everyone. The most harmful of egalitarian neocheaters are the high visibility Leo Buscaglias who mystically promulgate the selfdestructive, love-everyone concept. They imply that love, openness, and honesty are demonstrated by the giving of one's private self to all comers. Valuing of one's private self does not mean holding back or manipulating communication in order to bargain for advantages. The sharing of oneself is a personal choice and judgment. Such sharing with another person may occur quickly, even on initial contact if judgment responses trigger desires to move toward deeper personal or romantic possibilities. Chances should and must be taken on exploring potentially valuable relationships. Errors in judgment are often made. But minimum harm from such errors results so long as the individual is making his or her own conscious choices, using reason and reality rather than following the words of mystics, social "authorities", or gurus. Surrendering one's independent judgment to mystics, social "authorities", or gurus and offering one's private self to all comers results in: 1. Diminished self-confidence and self-esteem. 2. Unproductive, unrewarding consumption of time: Such wasting of irreplaceable segments of one's life span continually diminishes the time needed to build a competent, productive life necessary for growing prosperity, romantic love, and abiding happiness. 3. Diminished personal desirability: Indiscriminate "openness and honesty" is often a boring imposition on those being gratuitously subjected to such personal openness.
4. And most important: After selflessly giving one's self to all comers, little if anything that is private, exciting, or precious is left to share exclusively with one's closest friend or romantic-love partner...little if anything is left to build that unique, priceless, private universe crucial to a romantic-love relationship. Happiness exists as a private world within one's own self. That world expands into a mutually exclusive universe shared by two people involved in a psychuous-pleasure, romantic-love relationship. And that exclusive, private universe is a uniquely precious, emotional treasure. But that treasure can be forever lost by indiscriminately or promiscuously sharing oneself physically, psychologically, or spiritually with others. That selfless giveaway and subsequent destruction of one's private inner world is exactly what the egalitarian advocates of "total openness" wish to accomplish. Only by negating everyone else's private values and selfesteem, can they justify their own prostituted inner world. Moreover, most of the "total-openness" egalitarians are professional mystics or neocheaters who depend on extracting their material and spiritual livelihoods from others. To do that, they first must dupe productive people with altruistic guilt. Then those neocheaters can psychologically pull the producers down to the level of mystics and parasitical neocheaters through selfless egalitarianism. ...The lower the level that value producers can be reduced, the more easily can their values be usurped by neocheaters. By contrast, avoiding that self-giveaway trap leaves romantic love and abiding happiness open for any value producer. Neo-Tech Advantage #96 COMMUNICATION IN ROMANTIC-LOVE RELATIONSHIPS Crucial in a romantic-love relationship is open communication, especially during negative emotional experiences. During stressful or negative experiences, deliberate reason-based (rather than automatic emotion-based) conclusions are needed to make fair, honest judgments [Re: Concept 127, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. The ability to communicate honestly (without mysticism) during emotional stress is the hallmark of successful love partners. The first step to reason-based communication between partners is to identify and separate the emotional aspects of the problem [Re: Concept 74 and Table 26, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. For, knowing the difference between reason-based conclusions (business-like thinking) and emotion-based conclusions (mystical thinking) is the most important step in developing communication skills during negative situations. The ability to generate reason-based conclusions out of negative situations has powerfully beneficial effects on a person's well-being, self-esteem, and happiness. Reasoned conclusions in emotional situations, for example, can prevent irrational actions that damage or destroy business, family, and romantic-love situations. The habitual use of reason-based conclusions in emotional situations leads to powerfully effective communication in all situations, especially business and romantic-love situations. The Judeo-Christian ethics instill fear in women about expressing sexual assertiveness. Those same ethics instill fear in men about expressing tender feelings and emotions. Such fears cause various degrees of emotional repression and diminished happiness in both men and women. The Neo-Tech/Psychuous concepts eliminate those pleasure-depriving fears by allowing guiltless communication about emotions, love, and sex between romanticlove partners. A person can enter the future with either a reality/life-oriented philosophy that continually expands into personal wealth and happiness...or with a mystical/death-oriented philosophy that continually shrinks into personal impoverishment and unhappiness. Mystical or Platonistic-based philosophies and the resulting dishonest, altruistic ethics offer only negative, unhappy life styles. Neo-Tech/Psychuous or Aristotelian-based philosophies and the
resulting honest, reality ethics offer positive, happy life styles. ...Anyone can choose at anytime between either philosophy, ethic, and life-style. Neo-Tech Advantage #97 PRODUCTIVENESS AND HAPPINESS versus LAZINESS AND MISERY Inseparable links exist between productive work, earned values, prosperity, psychuous pleasures, and happiness. Too many productive people live without experiencing their earned happiness or psychuous pleasures. That deprivation of happiness and psychuous pleasures is an unnecessary tragedy due to altruistic, mystical guilt inculcated into the value producer by the professional value destroyers. Psychuous pleasures and abiding happiness depend on psychological health which, in turn, depends on productive work. Without productive work or preparations for such, psychological health is impossible. Moreover, psychuous pleasures and happiness act as the emotional incentives to constantly increase one's value and productivity. Generally, the producer of values thrives on a fast-paced life in high-density environments (major exceptions are, for example, productive farmers, ranchers, miners). Nonproductive and destructive people, on the other hand, generally fear or enviously hate high-density, fast-paced, highly productive environments (such as New York City[ 65 ]). Professional mystics and Marxist neocheaters destroyed countries such as Cuba, Cambodia, Iran, and Nicaragua. Such black-hat neocheaters work explicitly for the demise of modern, highly productive, highly technological societies.[ 66 ] They gain their power by pandering to their downtrodden proletariat with false promises of a nonthinking "peaceful" existence -- a prehistoric, unthinking "animal-nature" existence. They promise the ultimate mystical dream of a nonthinking, egalitarian, "problem-free" nirvana. But that dream contradicts life, nature, and reality as does all mysticism. Indeed, that no-effort, "problem-free" mysticism is the essence of value destruction and death. By contrast, high-effort problem-solving is the essence of value production and life. Integrated links exist between productivity, self-interest, self-esteem, psychuous pleasures, and happiness [Re: Table 65, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Production of competitive values is the integrating growth dynamics for conscious beings. Production of competitive values provides freedom, prosperity, psychuous pleasures, and abiding happiness. Productivity and rational self-interest are not only essential to happiness, but are essential to life itself. For without productive self-interest, only consumptive altruism remains. What would a world of consumptive altruism mean? What if everyone began living as selfless, unproductive consumers, temporarily surviving by sacrificing one another in consuming the values created by the past producers. One can imagine what an unhappy, destructive world that would be. One can imagine the malevolence and meanness that would exist among those human beings as they cannibalized the final values and then one another. Soon after that, nearly everyone would be dead, even those with guns. But what if everyone began living competitively as rational, productive individuals with everyone intent on producing maximum values for others and society in order to achieve maximum prosperity, psychuous pleasures, romantic love, and happiness for themselves and their loved ones. One can imagine what a benevolent, happy, exciting, thriving world that would be...a world free of mysticism and neocheaters...a world without guns...a world in which everyone forever increases his or her productivity, prosperity, and happiness. Most productive individuals are of much greater value than their mystically diminished self-image lets them realize. For, the image of highly productive individuals has been constantly denigrated by dishonest media
journalists, authors, university professors, educators, theologians, politicians, and social "intellectuals". The productive middle class is projected in the ugly, inverted, false images of the Babbitts and Willie Lomans. The ultimate unjust irony lies with the destructive government bureaucrats and "professionals": They who never produce values, only consume or destroy them, coined and contemptuously use the pejorative "working stiffs" in describing the self-sufficient, working middle class. Those "working stiffs" are the honest people who daily produce a flood of values for others, including those government value destroyers. Indeed, those value destroyers could not survive without those "working stiffs". But those "working stiffs" would thrive without those bureaucrats and professional value destroyers. Value producers can feel their full worth only after discarding the years of unearned guilt foisted on them by the mystics, politicians, social "intellectuals", media commentators, and other neocheating altruists and egalitarians. Indeed, such productive people can and should experience the pleasure of feeling their full worth all the time. And now with Neo-Tech, they can forever free themselves of egalitarian altruism and its envious neocheaters to always feel their deserved worth and happiness. The underlying cause of egalitarianism and envy is dishonesty and laziness.[ 67 ] Laziness means the abdication of self-responsibility. That abdication is the root cause of mysticism, envy, altruism, neocheating, and chronic unhappiness [Re: Concept 133, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Also, incompetence and lost potential arise from laziness and defaults on self-responsibility [Re: Concepts 133 and 134, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Professional mystics and neocheaters have vested interests in attacking competitiveness -- in attacking NeoTech, individualism, prosperity, and free-enterprise. The master neocheaters among the politicians, theologians, and social "intellectuals" live by attacking the competitive value producers and usurping their values. Through such destructive attacks, those neocheaters hide their own defaults while creating their needed illusions of personal power and pseudo self-worth. And, to maintain those illusions, they must continue attacking the competitive producer, his integrated thinking, the values he produces, and his individual rights and property. For those fake illusions let them physically and psychologically live off of the value producer. But being dependent on others for survival, nonproductive mystics and neocheaters are unable to earn the selfesteem and competence needed to achieve psychuous pleasures, romantic love, and abiding prosperity. Also, not having earned values, they hold no genuine power. Productivity is the building block for prosperity, love, and happiness. The most common character and behavior traits associated with productive men and women are identified below: CHARACTER AND BEHAVIOR TRAITS OF COMPETITIVE VALUE PRODUCERS Character Traits Honesty Integrity Rationality Consistency Perseverance Individualism Enthusiasm Ambition Passion Behavior Traits

[ 66 ] The black-hat neocheaters' ultimate, envious dream is to destroy fast-paced, high-tech, high-intensity life, especially as experienced in productive, free-market metropolitan areas. That dream was actually achieved by the terror-totalitarian government of Cambodia. To gain unrestricted power, the neocheating leader, Pol Pot, implemented his destruction of urban life by a forced, death-march evacuation of the entire capital city of Phnom Penh. His totally destructive, murderous actions represented the highest attainment of egalitarian ideals and the natural end-result of altruistic-based philosophies. For that reason, few objections or cries of outrage about such blatant mass murder were heard from the "liberal" media, soul mate mystics, social "intellectuals", and other professional mystics and neocheaters. ...Given the power and means, all professional value destroyers have the capacity to mass murder. For in essence, they will do anything, including mass murder, to protect and expand their bogus livelihoods and to feel increasingly important, when in essence they are less than nothing. [ 67 ] The mechanism of laziness in both the mind and body is the yielding to actions of least effort. But conscious beings cannot prosper or be happy through actions of least effort. And unlike all other animals, conscious beings cannot survive by letting nature rule them. Conscious beings depend on volitional efforts and logically reasoned choices to survive. They must constantly choose to exert effort, think logically, and act beyond their feelings to prosper. They must exercise discipline, thought, and then control (the DTC technique) to succeed. ...To achieve lasting prosperity and happiness, one must constantly do things he or she does not feel like doing.
Neo-Tech Advantage #98 GROWTH DEATH/PSYCHE DEATH AND ITS PREVENTION Growth Death or Psyche Death are terms used to describe the tragedy of dying as a competently functioning conscious being while continuing to exist physically. That phenomenon unnecessarily occurs in a high percentage of people. Caused by the disease of mysticism, Growth Death affects perhaps 90% of the world's living adult population [Re: Concept 89, Table 31, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Growth Death is a uniquely human phenomenon that involves the stagnation and death of the human psyche, often at an early age -- even before the human body reaches physical maturity. The human psyche embraces both the emotional and intellectual spheres of the mind. Contrary to popular myth, both spheres are inseparably linked and symbiotically function together. If one sphere grows, so does the other. If one sphere deteriorates so does the other. Most important, the human psyche has no age or capacity limitations on its growth. Unlike the physical body, the human psyche has no growth limits. It never needs to stop growing. In fact, the continuous growth of the psyche is the process of conscious living. When that process stops, the individual ceases to function as a conscious being is designed to function. If a person's psyche is not growing, that person is living contrary to his or her nature. Thus, that person's psyche begins dying. And if one's psyche is dying, that person cannot experience growing prosperity, love, or happiness. PSYCHE GROWTH VS. PSYCHE DEATH What happens with a living, growing business-like mind? Value-producing actions beget happy feelings while honestly integrating reality. What happens with a dying, shrinking mystical mind? Indulged feelings beget destructive actions while dishonestly evading reality. The checklist below compares the psyche of those two minds -- the criminal, destructive, mystic mind versus the heroic, productive, business mind. People generally display various mixtures of living and dead psyche characteristics. But the mixture is always tilted to one side or the other with the general direction usually moving unnecessarily toward death. With the following checklist, most people can determine whether their psyches are living or dying. A person with a dying psyche can reverse the trend and live again by using Neo-Tech to cure the disease of mysticism within one's own self.

To let one's psyche live or die is always a volitional choice made by each individual alone -- a choice usually made early in life, often in childhood. The tragically unnecessary surrender of the psyche to mysticism and Growth Death takes the subconscious form of: What's the use. Why struggle any more to understand reality or bear the pain and pressure of being honest? I am not going to live by my own mind because the effort and responsibilities are too great. I'll let others think for me. I'll let the authorities tell me what to believe and do. Yes, I'll support their power no matter how dishonest or destructive. I want the easiest, safest way through life. No, I don't want to advance in life by independent, integrated thinking and actions. Instead, I want to be a believer and to follow some `wiser' authority or `higher' good. I'll live by the thoughts and feelings of others. From that point of surrender, the individual may become more knowledgeable, skillful, and proficient in specific areas, but his or her psyche will diminish as overall growth of the mind stops and turns downward toward death. At some future time, that individual could decide to countermand that subconscious surrender order and restart psyche growth. If not, the quality of his or her life will continuously decline, always controlled, always pushed or pulled one way or another by outside forces, by the influences of "others".
The "others" represent any higher "authority" that an individual lets control his or her thoughts, judgments, actions, life (rather than using one's own mind). Those "higher authorities" may be friends, relatives, politicians, bureaucrats, lawyers, social "intellectuals", neocheating university professors, the media, the church, the ruler, the Messiah, Allah, cocaine, the Bible, the stars, the state, "society" -- anyone or anything outside the individual's own mind. People default on the primary responsibility of their minds by letting outside others ("authorities", neocheaters) do their thinking and make their decisions. When people default on using their own minds, they lose control of their lives and begin dying as they become controlled by others. By nature, control through others always contradicts an individual's long-range well-being. Thus, accepting such outside control always begins the process of growth death. For no one can experience growth, prosperity, and happiness while under control of others. The human mind is an adaptable, resilient organ having great self-healing powers. Helping or curing the mind seldom needs outside help. The powerful self-help nature of the mind is purposely ignored by the neocheaters dominating the psychology profession. The mind can suffer psychic or psychological damage. But if and when the individual chooses, that damage can almost always be reversed by attacking and eliminating the self-indulged disease of mysticism that is causing the problem by cutting off honesty and integrated thinking. That effective, self-help approach sharply contradicts the messy, wasteful, and usually harmful external "authority" approaches involving psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists. Such external "authority" approaches ignore the essence of both mental health (Neo-Tech: honesty and effort) and mental illness (mysticism: dishonesty and laziness). Thus, in the light of Neo-Tech, most approaches by the psychiatric and psychological professions are invalid, harmful, fraudulent, and often practiced by destructive neocheaters.[ 68 ] Through honest thinking and sustained efforts, a person can self-heal and strengthen his or her mind. Through such self-healing, that person retakes control of life and reverses that mind atrophy caused by mysticism. On healing the mind, the future can once again promise boundless prosperity, growth, love, and happiness. One's psyche can then experience anew an exhilarating freedom and control over reality, perhaps for the first time since early childhood. Most people have defaulted, at least partially, on the independent use of their minds. By abandoning any part of their minds to "others", including psychologists, they diminish their means to prosperity and happiness. Yet, through Neo-Tech, the potential is always available to rescue one's self from mysticism and its external "authorities". By nature, the self-rescue of one's own mind from mysticism must be an act of self-responsibility free from external "authority". Few people choose to resurrect themselves from Psyche Death and Growth Death.[ 69 ] Those who have surrendered usually rationalize their deteriorating self and shrinking potential as a natural, biological aging process. Growth Death may be common, but is neither natural nor necessary. Furthermore, rebirth of a dying mind or psyche is not only possible but quite easy for anyone possessing Neo-Tech knowledge. Neo-Tech leads the way to mental health by self-curing the disease of mysticism. ...And without mysticism to manipulate others, the neocheaters are powerless.

[ 68 ] Certain cognitive psychological approaches can be v alid and at times valuable when used to gain specific knowledge that helps one identify elusive areas of mysticism. Beyond those exceptional situations, however, most psychological treatments are bogus and harmful, for such treatments are the antithesis of mental health: the handing over of self-responsibility for mystic-free mental health to a mystical-indulging, feel-good external authority. Many statistical tests over the past fifty years have demonstrated the long-term worthlessness and drug-like harm of feel-good psyche chats, therapies, treatments (Reference: Garth Wood, MD, Myths and Neurosis -Overcoming the Illness Excuse, Harper and Row). [ 69 ] Recovery of independent thought is possible at almost any age through the nearly infinite self-healing powers of the human mind, especially when made mystic-free through Neo-Tech. Indeed, Neo-Tech cures mysticism. Thus, Neo-Tech will put most psychologists and psychiatrists out of business. Neo-Tech Advantage #99 THREE STEPS TO ACHIEVING COMMERCIAL BIOLOGICAL IMMORTALITY[ 70 ] IN OUR LIFETIME (See Advantage #114, Appendix F, and Neo-Tech V for details) The elimination of mysticism is required for non-aging or youth-rejuvenating biological immortality. That goal will be accomplished in three steps: STEP ONE The first step in achieving biological immortality is defining its meaning: biological immortality means to live as flesh-and-blood, non-aging human beings forever -- not just an extended life, but to live mind, body, and spirit as one's own self for centuries, millennia, forever. The purpose of biological immortality is not to serve others, society, or mankind, but to preserve forever the most precious, important value in the universe -- one's own integrated conscious self and sense of I-ness to experience expanding prosperity, love, and happiness -- forever. STEP TWO The second step in achieving non-aging biological immortality is dispelling the following seven myths (Appendix F refutes each myth in detail): 1. Death is not final. False. 2. Life after death exists. False. [See Memento Mori in Neo-Tech V] 3. Everyone wants to live forever. False. 4. Living forever would deprive younger generations of opportunities. False. 5. People living forever would cause overpopulation. False. 6. Living forever would be boring. False. 7. Achieving non-aging biological immortality presents technical, biological, medical, and scientific problems that are so complex and difficult that they could be unknowable or, at best, remain unsolvable for centuries. False.
STEP THREE The third step in achieving youth-rejuvenating immortality is understanding the requirements for achieving [A] personal prosperity, and [B] social prosperity with political freedom allows [C] commercial biological immortality. Achieving [A] and [B] is necessary to achieve [C]. The formula is [A] + [B] = [C]: [A]=Achieving Personal Power, Prosperity, Happiness: Neo-Tech delivers honesty, power, love -- the motive for Iness immortality. [B]=Achieving a Free, Prosperous World: Neo-Tech delivers freedom, business, prosperity -- the means to biological immortality. [C]=Achieving Biological Immortality in our Lifetime: Neo-Tech delivers science, technology, immortality -- the achievement of biological immortality. SUMMARY Commercial, non-aging I-ness immortality is achievable within our lifetime. But that achievement depends on collapsing the 2000-year hoax of mysticism and eliminating all its symbiotic neocheaters. The Neo-Tech Research and Writing Center is already undermining the hoax of mysticism worldwide and will forever cure that disease of death without anyone's support, without asking anyone to donate time or money, and without permission from or control by anyone. People must fully experience prosperity and happiness to value their one-and-only life with enough passion to motivate rapid, full-scale development of youth-rejuvenating immortality. Neo-Tech will trigger that full-scale development by freeing millions of productive individuals around the world from mysticism and neocheating. Once free, they will flourish naturally toward open-ended prosperity and happiness. They will flourish by (1) collapsing mysticism, (2) rejecting false guilt for living honestly, productively, fully, thus (3) rendering the neocheaters impotent. Those three actions, in turn, will unlock the needed motivation and means to develop commercial biological immortality rapidly -- in a few years. The entire purpose of youth-rejuvenating immortality is to experience ever increasing happiness -- to experience future realms of ever expanding enterprise, prosperity, love, and happiness. Such unimaginable happiness is available to every conscious being living in a mystical-free world of forever evolving knowledge and adventure. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 70 ] All Neo-Tech references to biological immortality by natu re encompass I-ness immortality. For, preserving or perpetuating all other aspects of conscious and biological life, including cloned bodies, memory banks, and personalities are meaningless if one's original sense of I-ness is lost. Neo-Tech Advantage #100 MALEFACTORS AND ENVY Malefactor is a label that can be applied to envious people. An envious person wants values destroyed. An envious person works to undermine individual and property rights, both of which are needed to achieve well-being and happiness. [Re: Table 68 in the Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia.]
Envy distorts and then consumes a person's view of life. Envy is a prime evil that people let develop within themselves to their great personal harm, unhappiness, and eventual death. Laziness and dishonesty are basic causes. Envy and impotence are basic effects. Envy is the desire to destroy values created or earned by others...to destroy the good because of its goodness. Why? Because the objective good (rational human values) exposes by contrast the envier's defaults and impotence. That exposure, in turn, diminishes the envier's pseudo self-esteem. And that pseudo self-esteem is needed for both psychological and physical survival -- needed to prevent a mental breakdown or suicide. Values earned by others make the envier experience his impotence. The good inherent in objective values reveals what the envier lacks. Such values reveal the human goodness that the envier has defaulted on. Such values leave the envier aware of his or her incompetence to live as a self-sufficient, independent, happy human being. Thus, the envier fears and hates such values. Envy growing out of dishonesty and laziness is a major destructive force in human relationships. In contrast to jealousy that is directed toward the possession of values, envy is directed toward the destruction of values. The desire to destroy the values, happiness, and pleasures earned by others is the essence of envy. Envious attacks against the producers and their values are woven throughout all the "good sounding" non sequiturs of media journalists, religious leaders, politicians, social "intellectuals", "consumerists", "ecologists", and other envious neocheaters. Contrary to the misconception promoted by envy-oriented writers and journalists, envy is not analogous to jealousy. While both reduce happiness, their causes are opposites [Re: Concept 77, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Jealousy is rooted in valuing and coveting a value...because the value is good to the beholder. Envy is rooted in resenting and hating a value...because the value threatens to expose the dishonesty and failures of the envier. The jealous person is threatened by the loss of a value. The envious person is threatened by the presence of a value. Enviers have always hidden, camouflaged, and distorted the meaning of envy. Enviers must not let their inferiority and dependence on the producers become known to themselves or others. For, if everyone understood the nature of envy, the professional mystics and neocheaters would lose their survival tools and rationalized self-esteems. And that would bring loss of unearned gains, public disgrace, even suicide -- unless the envier chose to change -to prosper by becoming a competitive producer of values. Out of fear and resentment, enviers must attack values earned by others. At the same time, they must constantly usurp those values in order to survive. That contradictory life of enviers brings increasing resentment, anxiety, incompetence, unhappiness. Those free of envy have no way of knowing the malevolent nature of the envier. Thus, most value producers, because of their naive innocence, are relatively helpless in protecting themselves from envious value destroyers. ...Who are the envious value destroyers? They are identified in the next chart. The issue is black and white: All people can be clearly classified as either envious or nonenvious [Re: Table 69, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. From value-destroying bureaucrats right up to genocidal dictators, the survival of envious people depends on their victims never discovering the nature of envy. To accomplish that concealment[ 71 ], destructive enviers must use one or more of the tactics shown in the chart below: ENVY TACTICS Tactics to Conceal Envy
Commonly Used By
Avoiding the word "envy"
Politicians, theologians, lawyers, "liberal" journalists, social "intellectuals", dictators
Distort and confuse the meaning of envy by falsely blending its meaning with jealousy
Politicians, theologians, "liberal" journalists, social "intellectuals", psychologists
Deny the existence of envy
Politicians, theologians, "liberal" journalists
Invert the destructiveness of envy into a socially "good" action (e.g., the "good" of mass destructions that force everyone to the same level)
Egalitarians, "ecologists", social "intellectuals", psychologists, lawyers, politicians, dictators
Claim that envy is inborn or is "forced" into people by the environment. Therefore, envious people are blameless. Instead, society and inequality are to blame
Social "intellectuals", psychologists, theologians, lawyers
Envy is a destructive character development resulting from: 1. volitional laziness and dishonesty, and 2. the choice to default on the self-responsibility to live by one's own mind and efforts through competitive value production. The envier must depend on the minds and efforts of others to survive. Envy comes from within the self-made character of a person, not from society or the environment. Envious people, therefore, are responsible for their own envy, destructions, and harm to others. Enviers are the malefactors of civilization: THE ENVIOUS MALEFACTORS Who are the envious malefactors? Who are the value destroyers of civilization? They are identified below: General Classes of Envious Malefactors Professional Value Destroyers Neocheaters Parasites
Mystics
Specific Classes of Envious Malefactors Dictators Politicians Theologians Social "Intellectuals" Destructive Bureaucrats Criminal-Minded Professionals High Percentage of Envious Malefactors Found in Specific "Occupations" Law[ 72 ] (a few exceptions) Media journalism[ 72 ] (some exceptions) University professors[ 72 ] (a few notable exceptions) Mafia members (destructive but usually not envious) Theologians and politicians (incorrigible enviers) Skid-row inhabitants (envious but usually not very destructive) Unproductive scions of inherited wealth (dissipators of wealth earned by others: "public servants" such as Nelson A. Rockefeller, Teddy Kennedy) Social "intellectuals" (e.g., social "scientists" -- their field is largly spurious and the antithesis of science) Self-appointed professional feminists[ 73 ] Self-appointed professional environmentalists[ 73 ] Self-appointed professional consumerists[ 73 ] Self-appointed professional peace activists[ 73 ] The value destroyers listed above are basically immature, anti-intellectual people who seek to evade reality and honesty. By contrast, most value producers are mature, genuienly intellectual people who seek to identify contextual facts through fully integrated honesty. Most politicians and social "intellectuals" are immature value destroyers who survive by neocheating the value producer. Such people promote altruistic social "ideals" designed to harm and drain the value producers of this planet. Those immature value destroyers include not only politicians but a high percentage of university professors, especially in the fields of social and political sciences, philosophy, psychology, education, law, religion...and a smaller percentage in other fields. Their crusades for fake social "justice" and specious human
rights are motivated by envy and executed through criminal minds. Their attacks on values are neocheating ploys not only for plundering the value producers but for hiding their own incompetence, laziness, and dishonesty. But the greatest evil of those academe is their irreparable mutilation of millions upon millions of young, developing minds. Why are theologians also classified as neocheaters, malefactors, value destroyers, and parasites? What about the "good" that theologians do, such as help the poor? Indeed, their "good" is exactly that: good in quotes. Their "good" is usually specious and contrary to human well-being and happiness. For, their "good" is based on the altruistic sacrifice of the value producer with the theologians collecting both the praise and a middle-man's cut without producing values. Most theologian-type "good" depends on dishonest, guilt manipulations of the producer. That "good" arises from their subtle, unjust denigrations of personal success, prosperity, and happiness. Furthermore, their "good" generally involves hypocritical, neocheating ploys designed for living with praise and "ease" without working to produce competitive values. In other words, theologians support themselves by promoting God-like altruistic schemes designed to usurp values earned by others while collecting unearned respect and power. ...That is the purpose and livelihood of most theologians. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 71 ] Over the centuries, concealing the nature of envy has bee n easy. For without Neo-Tech, most nonenvious individuals have no way to comprehend envy. In their innocence, envy-free productive people cannot emotionally or intellectually grasp the idea that people actually exist who want to destroy values because of the goodness represented by those values. [ 72 ] Envious malefactors or value destroyers are not inherent to these specific occupations. But a particularly high percentage of such malefactors populate these easy-to-fake professions. By contrast, envious malefactors rarely exist in productive hard-to-fake activities such as competitive, profit-making businesses. [ 73 ] These professional, self-appointed value destroyers (e.g., the Nader type) are destructive enviers who use neocheating demagoguery to gain unearned power. Such neocheaters use non sequiturs to create falsely inverted "realities" such as the "hero" consumer pitted against the "villain" producer. But those neocheaters hurt both the consumer and the producer by promoting government controls and force. By contrast, those "villain" producers of values are and always have been the only real benefactors and heroes of mankind. Without those producers, no productive jobs or consumers would exist since no products or values to consume would exist. Indeed, without those producers, little, if any, human life would exist. No disparagement is meant toward the valuable efforts of consumer-aid organizations (e.g., Better Business Bureaus) that do not sanction, use, or depend on government force or the violation of individual rights. Also no disparagement is intended toward the few honest, professionally trained ecologists who actually deliver values by objectively studying the environment relative to improving the long-range prosperity and happiness for value producers and society.
Neo-Tech Advantage #101 ENVY AND LAZINESS Value destroyers such as demagogic "ecologists" and "consumerists", neocheating politicians and bureaucrats, evil dictators and ayatollahs usurp enough power to directly execute their envious destructions. They camouflage their envy by operating under non-sequitur banners of common "good", human rights, social "justice", "peace", equality, the fatherland, and the most primitive, barbaric of all non-sequitur stratagems -- God. Such envious, value-destroying professionals live by usurping power and values, by attacking, undermining, crippling, destroying value producers. Most other enviers, however, lack the power, cunning, and resources to directly damage and destroy value producers. To vicariously satisfy their envy, they eagerly support the destructive causes promoted by those demagogic "consumerists", "environmentalists", theologians, politicians, social "intellectuals", and other neocheaters. A person can cure his or her envy only by becoming a self-sufficient producer of competitive values to achieve genuine independence, competence, and self-esteem. If not cured, the malignancy of envy will keep growing, consuming that person in malevolent hatred toward self, productive people, objective values, and life itself. Expressed another way, growing envy destroys a person's potential to earn genuine prosperity, psychuous pleasures, and happiness. To break free from envy's grip, a person must first identify the envy. Next, that person must reduce the need for envy by becoming increasingly productive until competent enough to live by competitively producing values desired by others. Then a metamorphosis occurs that changes envious fear of objective values to a passionate desire to uphold those values. On evolving into an independent, self-sufficient producer of values, envy fades as a new, exciting life emerges -- a life of growing prosperity, expanding power, and abiding happiness. Producers of objective values have prosperity and happiness always open to them. But first they must break free from the unearned guilt foisted on them by the enviers who surrounded them. The producers must realize that they are the ones who hold the real power. And only they can guiltlessly collect genuine prosperity and happiness. Neo-Tech sharply contrasts the world of mysticism and envy to the world of value production and self-esteem. [Re: Table 71, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] One does not cross into the happy, envy-free world until that person becomes competent enough through consistent logical thinking, integrated honesty, and hard efforts to be self-sufficient by producing competitive values for others and society. As previously identified, laziness and dishonesty are volitionally chosen prime evils. People allow laziness and dishonesty to develop within themselves to their great personal harm. Laziness and dishonesty are the basic causes of mysticism, neocheating, and envy. Moreover, that default to laziness leads to Growth Death or Psyche Death (see Neo-Tech Advantage #98). Laziness always involves mysticism undercutting the conscious mind. One must exert a constant, honest, life-long effort to maintain a prosperous, happy, healthy life. By contrast, mental and physical laziness means defaulting on those key attributes of honesty and effort required for independent self-survival and happiness. Rationalizing laziness and envy requires dishonest inversions of facts and values. For example, certain social commentators disparage modern, labor-saving appliances as causing laziness. They lament that modern appliances bypass old-fashioned virtues of hard work. Their laments are misleading non sequiturs useful for selfdeception or neocheating. The facts are that labor-saving devices are created and put to best use by those who are the least lazy -- the most ambitious. For, such modern devices free people from low-productivity, mind-stifling
routines to provide the time and opportunity to spend their lives in ever more challenging, productive, creative activities. Criticisms of labor-saving devices usually originate from either neocheaters attacking values or from those yearning to return to bygone days. But those bygone days were when so much brute labor, time, and energy were needed just to survive that few if any demands were made to expand into more complex, difficult efforts demanding hard integrated thinking. Those criticizing modern labor-saving devices are generally seeking rationalizations to avoid the responsibility of living by sustained, conscious efforts requiring integrated thinking. They prefer to exist without conscious effort -- by rote, without integrated thinking -- as people did during the Dark Ages. Those who criticize labor-saving devices are usually projecting their own mental laziness, their rebellion against integrated thinking, their lack of effort to live fully. The logical use of the mind combined with consistent rational efforts is required for human survival and prosperity. But, mental default for many is seductively tempting. A person simply adopts someone else's thinking, thus avoiding the responsibility of exerting one's own integrated thinking and honesty for independent survival and prosperity. Such "pleasantly easy" defaults against using one's own mind are traps that corrode self-sufficiency and lead to intellectual, psychological, and eventual physical dependence on others, especially "authorities". Usually those "authorities" are neocheaters who dupe the defaulter into accepting their dishonest, destructive ploys designed for usurping power. ...Such neocheating "authorities" survive by promoting their mystical hoaxes and specious doctrines of altruistic self-sacrifice in order to control the defaulters and neocheat the producers. Integrated, logical thinking[ 74 ] does not preclude errors or wrong judgments. But only through habitual, integrated, logical thinking does one become efficient in identifying and correcting errors. If a person defaults on that thinking effort, he or she must live increasingly through other people's thinking. That person then gradually loses the ability to recognize the errors in other people's thinking as well as to correct his or her own errors. Such a person eventually becomes incompetent to live independently. That person then becomes dependent on destructive, neocheating "authorities" to survive. Essentially all willful destruction, all purposeful violence, all initiation of force against individuals and their property can be reduced to a single, originating cause -- mysticism originating from laziness and dishonesty. That laziness and dishonesty evolve from choosing not to exert the constant, rational efforts required to understand reality in order to make one's own independent decisions. ...Laziness and dishonesty are the cause of evil; envy is the effect.

Neo-Tech Advantage #102 NEO-TECH VERSUS ALTRUISM Attacks on free enterprise, producers, and objective values by envious altruists, powercrats, social "intellectuals", theologians, lawyers, judges, academics, and other neocheaters are on the rise around the world. Before Neo-Tech, envious altruism was increasingly undermining the value producers. But today, Neo-Tech not
only identifies the nature of envy, but also reveals how neocheaters use mystical altruism to attack and undermine the producers in order to usurp unearned power and values. Thus, just in time, at the crucial NuclearDecision Threshold (See Neo-Tech Advantage #31), Neo-Tech has become available to identify, counteract, and reverse the destructive trend of mysticism. Moreover, timely Neo-Tech also demonstrates how guiltless psychuous pleasures and happiness arise from rejecting all mystical dishonesties. And, finally, Neo-Tech renders powerless the intentional value destroyers -- the professional mystics, altruists, powercrats, parasites, enviers, and other neocheaters. Neo-Tech means the eventual demise of the politician, social "intellectual", theologian, and every other neocheating altruist and egalitarian who usurp values and power from the value producers. At the same time, almost anyone can achieve a prosperous, happy life with Neo-Tech, even those hapless mystics and neocheaters who have been exposed and rejected by the producers armed with Neo-Tech. Without Neo-Tech, the legions of altruists, mystics, and powercrats would have eventually buried the producers and their values, causing a new dark age. But today, Neo-Tech knowledge is spreading around the world. That expanding Neo-Tech matrix is rendering impotent professional mystics and neocheaters caught in its web. Yet, ironically, those foundering mystics and neocheaters can with Neo-Tech join the producers in experiencing genuine prosperity and happiness by rejecting their own mysticism and producing competitive values for others. Neo-Tech Advantage #103 PLATO, ARISTOTLE, AND NEO-TECH Those with Neo-Tech knowledge will gain powerful advantages in every competitive situation. For they fully understand the crippling, 2000-year hoax of Platonistic-based philosophies that today dominate most people's thoughts and actions. Thus, by removing that hoax, Neo-Tech leaves a person with profound competitive advantages over those foundering in the Plato-based world of professional mystics and neocheaters. Plato's philosophy provided the foundation for subsequent philosophies involving mysticism, sacrifice, and the use of force to achieve "higher" goals. Plato's philosophy also provided the basic tools for rationalizing laziness [Re: Concept 108, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. And because Plato's work is so subtly anti-intellectual, his philosophy inflicted sweeping, anti-intellectual destructions on all subsequent societies and cultures to this day. Still, Plato, the father of the criminal mind, was one of the most original, creative thinkers in history. His work was the first widely integrated philosophical system[ 75 ] recorded in writing. The depth and breadth of his integrations were quickly matched and then surpassed by the philosophical writings of his student -- Aristotle, the father of the business mind. But much of Plato's credit, particularly the sounder aspects of his philosophical system, perhaps belongs to his teacher, Socrates. Unfortunately, Socrates never recorded in writing his ideas or philosophical system. No writings of Socrates are known to exist. And knowledge of his work was left to the mercy and plagiarism of Plato, who perhaps deleted crucial Aristotelian-like views that would have contradicted Plato's own manipulated views. Nevertheless, Socrates was probably the first man to develop a broadly integrated philosophical system. Plato held enormous leverage with his great intellectual and creative abilities. Thus, profound philosophical errors would occur if he were tilted even slightly toward immaturity, dishonesty, mysticism, and neocheating. And that is what happened. Some of the most integrated aspects of Plato's philosophical system are in profound error. His errors involve the integration of dishonesties, mysticism, "higher purposes", the use of force, and the exercise of authoritarian power into a full-blown, ethical philosophical system of enormous deception and dishonesties. Furthermore, the foundation of Plato's philosophy is not based on reality, but on mysticism. His philosophy does not recognize the life of the individual human being as the prime value or even an important value. Indeed, Plato is
not a man to be respected. For he was an immature, dishonest conniver who wreaked death and destruction on this world for over 2000 years. He subordinated human beings to arbitrary "higher" powers and mystical "values". Yet, the tight inner logic and integrated completeness of his specious philosophy provided great staying power for his false ideas. Thus, his spurious philosophy became the intellectual foundation of all subsequent specious philosophies, religions, and political systems. Plato's philosophical system has been the greatest tragedy of our civilization. But at last, today, Neo-Tech is in the process of eliminating that tragedy. By contrast, Aristotle was perhaps the greatest intellectual power in history. He built his philosophical system on objective, noncontradictory premises by placing objective reality as the only basis of honesty. Aristotle placed the individual conscious being as the supreme value on Earth. ...The philosophical roots of Aristotle lead to Neo-Tech. Major competitive advantages accrue to those who use Neo-Tech knowledge to reject mystical, Platonistic-based frauds. Neo-Tech Advantage #104 DESTRUCTIVE POETRY VERSUS VALID ART Can poetry be destructive? Can poetry undermine romantic love? Yes, most certainly. Some poetry (including song lyrics, especially certain rock lyrics), if taken seriously, can have powerful, mind-crippling effects that undermine a person's integration capacities crucial for developing romantic-love relationships. In addition, certain poetry can block personal growth and prevent prosperity and long-range happiness from developing. Plato, whose philosophy has been utilized by the anti-intellectuals, mystics, and neocheaters for the past 2300 years, was ironically the first to identify the harmful, anti-intellectual nature of poetry. Plato recognized that the sing-song, rhythmic nature of poetry set up automatic, hypnotic, nonthinking patterns that unconscious people used to pass on information which often sounded good or pleasant, but had little or no validity, accuracy, or objective meaning. In other words, through poetry, so-called knowledge or packages of "truth" could be handily acquired and passed on with little conscious effort, independent thinking, or regard to honesty. Poems and chants established dogmatic patterns that blocked new or more accurate ideas from developing. Plato properly identified part of the problem with poetry, but his philosophical errors prevented him from identifying the total problem. Poetry can be cast in what appears to be beautiful gems or nuggets of packaged "truth" and knowledge from "authorities". Those packaged "truths" are designed for consumption in quick, convenient gulps. That gulping of "truths" bypasses the analytical mental effort required to integrate information and assess its validity through one's own mind. Determining the validity of any information requires analytical integration of facts and information within a full, accurate context. But poetry and song lyrics effortlessly bypass the demanding thinking and integration processes needed to accurately identify objective reality. In that way, poetry and lyrics subvert the effectiveness of the mind. Most poetry and lyrics, no matter how beautiful, right, and "true" they sound (that being their seductive nature) cannot be substituted for honesty or facts any more than good-sounding slogans or parables[ 76 ] can be substituted for honesty or facts. Furthermore, cleverly used poetry and lyrics can be powerfully effective tools for rationalizing laziness, dishonesty, injustice, mysticism, and neocheating.[ 77 ] Most poetry, if taken seriously (especially emotional or "beautiful" poetry that lacks an objective base), not only undermines a person's ability to make independent judgments, but diminishes one's capacity to think objectively about crucial matters. That, in turn, decreases one's ability to achieve prosperity, psychuous pleasures, and long-
range happiness. In other words, certain poetry or song lyrics taken as packaged "truth" will bypass the independent, in-context thinking processes required to make the integrations and decisions necessary to develop long-range prosperity, pleasures, and happiness. Most poetry rests on specious or mystical foundations. But even poetry resting on objective, Aristotelian foundations is valid only for a specific context and is not valid for other contexts. If, for example, one or both partners in a love relationship rely on poetry by "authorities" to express "truth", the relationship in that particular area will be detached from reality -- stunted by mysticism, unable to grow on sound premises in that area. Poetry based on mysticism or even poetry based on a particular context of objective reality is almost always, by nature, nonexact or abstract. That nonexactness or abstraction can symbolize certain categories of reality, but poetic abstractions are not facts in themselves nor can they be substituted for independent, integrated thinking. But valid art forms (e.g., music, fine art, literature, and even certain intellectually honest poetry) can be abstract expressions of objective values executed with skill and projected with a powerful sense of life. If the artist's abstract symbols reflect the observer's own values, then the particular art form delivers pleasure to the beholder. If the art work (music, fine art, literature) symbolizes disvalues or threats to the beholder, then the art delivers dislike to the viewer.[ 78 ] Nonskilled or amateurish art may attempt to symbolize values to the beholder. But such art work is not emotionally felt if the style, craftsmanship, or abstraction is too unskilled, obscure, inaccurate, contradictory, or badly executed. In such cases, the viewer's reaction is nonrecognition, confusion, indifference, boredom, dislike, especially if combined with a negative sense of life. Those cases include most of the subjective "modern art" that has been foisted on the public by neocheaters as a ploy to further undermine life, attack values, and drain the value producer through the arts. Still, much more harmful is the mystics' and neocheaters' use of objective art forms to bilk the producer on a grand scale: The prime example in history is the brilliant coup by the Roman Catholic church to save itself during the rise of honesty and logic that occurred during the Renaissance. The master neocheaters of the Roman Catholic hierarchy recognized the starkly obvious values of the burgeoning, new art forms. They then captured those art values for exploitation by aggressively commissioning the most skilled artists to produce highly obvious values. The master neocheaters captured those values at first through architecture, the fine arts, and sculpture. Later they added music to their arsenal through the great classical composers. Governments and tyrants right up to Lenin, Hitler, and current neocheating rulers also seized that neocheating ploy. To gain easy credibility and to capture support through the emotions, they used the fine arts, literature, music, and even the most integrated art form -- opera[ 79 ]. Since the value of art can be sensed through emotions and requires no intellectual analysis, the public needs only to notice the obvious art and architectural values to erroneously link those values of the master artists to the master neocheaters presenting that art. Thus, the masses are deluded into seeing those obvious values of great art as also representing the values of the neocheating church or government. Subconsciously they conclude: "I can see, hear, and feel those architectural, art, and musical values. I know those values are real and valid. Thus, those values must also represent those who own and present this art -- the church or government. Therefore, all that I do not comprehend about the church or government must be as good and valuable as the art that represents them." Through that brilliant, but dishonest use of art as non sequiturs, the church and governments were able to survive the rise of honesty and logic during the Renaissance, the resulting industrial revolution, and then the rise of capitalism and free enterprise.
Regardless of their understandings or economic conditions at that time, those great artists betrayed honesty by selling themselves to the dishonest intentions of the neocheaters in church and government. Those artists are culpable and responsible for giving a major boost in power and endurance to the evil machinations of especially the Roman Catholic church and its neocheating leaders. Even Michelangelo must be held accountable. *** A major difference exists between the beholder's view of valid art versus one's use of poetry. Art represents an abstraction that symbolizes a value. The beholder merely contemplates a piece of art for the emotional pleasure it delivers in reflecting back or symbolizing that person's own values. Unlike poetry, the beholder normally does not use art abstraction to replace his or her own independent thinking for understanding reality or establishing facts. Art is a crucial value for human beings. Art is a source of pleasure and psychological fuel that reflects and confirms one's deepest values through aesthetic symbols. Poetry, on the other hand, can harm a person's thinking process if that person accepts as concrete fact the inexact, out-of-context nature of poetic abstractions. When accepted as self-contained packages of "truth", song lyrics, parables, slogans, epigrams, political cartoons, and "famous" quotes by "authorities" fall into the same harmful category as poetry [Re: Table 72, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Aristotelian-based poetry that is intellectually valid and certain song lyrics that are non-mystical can be objectively valuable when viewed as symbols of one's own values and not as packages of "truth" to be swallowed whole, without integration. Still, the effect of poetry on most people is harmful because they allow the abstract symbols of poetry to enter their minds as unintegrated, unchallenged "truths" or as pre-packaged value systems ready for direct use. The problem is amplified because many poets, song lyricists, and political cartoonists proceed with dishonest, destructive intentions to mislead the reader. They want their work swallowed blindly as "truth" by their audiences, regardless of the validity or context of their work. Such work is neither art nor honest; it is neocheating. If an individual is aware of the misleading nature of poetry, he or she can avoid its harmful effects and perhaps gain some reflective values from certain Aristotelian-based poetry. For example, the following poem, while not deeply intellectual, does aesthetically reflect the soul and character of heroic, innocent value producers: THE GOLDEN They are the rare, the radiant men The children of truth, the parents of ken. Pain but strengthens them, pity intrudes. Rebuking surprises them. Guilt eludes. Deception disgusts and envy astounds. Misfortune challenges. Malice confounds. They are the open, the honorable, The honest, the just, the vulnerable. With no respect for the twisting of truth, Faithfully wed to the promise of youth, They are the pure, the benevolent, The incorruptible few -- the Innocent.
(Reprinted with permission from Darlene Bridge and Bridgeberg Books) Poetical sing-song or hypnotically rhythmic meter are often found in the rhetoric of dictators, evangelists, sibyls, politicians, theologians, mountebanks, social "intellectuals", media men, medicine men, hallucinating psychotics, chanting shiites, and screaming terrorists. Consider how millions of normally rational Germans thrilled and responded to the poetical cadence and charisma of the consummate altruist neocheater, Adolph Hitler. The results: a reign of destruction with tens of millions of human beings slaughtered so one impotent man could indulge his mysticism to feel unearned power. All that slaughter was for nothing more than to let one neocheater feel a pseudo self-esteem. ...Twenty million dead so one pip-squeak could feel big and important. "So what!" cry the mystics as the lifetime efforts of a thousand productive, innocent individuals are blown to bits every day without a backward glance. So what if the troops roll across the country with military cadence and guns ablaze. So what if they level town after town, reducing to rubble and corpses all the values, beauty, and life that took generations of productive effort to build. And that is all the chanting religious automatons or splendid Panzer divisions know how to do -- to destroy in a moment, without a thought, all the values that producers labored for lifetimes to build. Chanting mobs or marching troops never glance back, never think for a moment of the death and destruction they leave behind. So what! the mystics and neocheaters cry. So what if genocide happens in Russia, Nazi Germany, Cuba, Cambodia, Red China, or in our land. "I don't want to hear it! To hell with the lifetime efforts of productive individuals! ...Save the snail darter!" By using specious nuggets of poetical "truth" and spell-binding slogans, malefactors, demagogues, and neocheaters such as Hitler, FDR, Nader, Khomeini, Lincoln, Mao, Billy Graham, Pope Paul, Jimmy Swaggart, Castro, Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Jim Jones could smoothly, quickly subvert the objective concepts of justice, good, and love. And they often did that by manipulating words to sound good, just, or loving. Why? To promote their own rationalized schemes of "higher" causes. Such people use those poetic techniques to keep their rationalizations sounding valid. And their unthinking followers grab the beautiful nuggets of "truth" and eagerly swallow them without thought or challenge. Modern Art Below is a quote from the archangel of modern art admitting that he is nothing but a clown: "Most people can today no longer expect to receive consolation from art. The refined, the rich, the distillers of quintessence (art critics) desire only the peculiar, the eccentric, the scandalous in today's art. And I myself, since the advent of cubism, have fed these fellows what they wanted, and satisfied these critics with all the ridiculous ideas that have passed through my head. "The less they understood them, the more they admired me. Through amusing myself with all these absurd farces, I became celebrated. But when I am alone, I do not have the effrontery to consider myself an artist at all, not in the grand old meaning of the word. Giotto, Titian, Rembrandt and Goya, they were great painters. I am only a public clown. "I have understood my time and have exploited the imbecility, the vanity, the greed of my contemporaries. It is a bitter confession of mine -- more painful than it may seem. But at least and at last it does have the merit of being honest." Pablo Picasso, November, 1951* A master neocheater making an honest confession. *Also reported to be from a fictitious interview: The Black Book by Giovanni Papini, 1951.
To "appreciate" modern art, a person must figure out, interpret, or understand the "artist" and his meanings that "transcend reality". By contrast, lasting classical art is recognized as a great value throughout the ages. Such art needs no interpretation or understanding of the artist. Such art represents beauty, values, and skill that are immediately recognized by the expert and the untrained layman alike. That is why the Roman Catholic church acquired only classic art -- art that needs no interpretation to understand and value. The Catholic church was too shrewd to buy abstract art needing interpretation. Indeed, modern art seldom represents beauty, values, or skill. Moreover, the layman does not know what most modern "art" means, while the chic "expert" plays games of interpreting the artist's meanings. Today, the high prices of famous modern art works are supported by the tax-deduction system: Wealthy holders of such modern art profit handsomely by donating purchased works to the major modern-art museums (e.g., The Museum of Modern Art in New York). In turn, such museums provide grossly inflated appraisal prices for tax deductions. Thus, those museums gain ersatz art works along with cash donations for those fake, tax-purpose appraisals. At the same time, the wealthy "collectors" profit and modern-art museums perpetuate themselves through the tax system. When that neocheating scheme collapses, most modern art works will fall to an objective free-market value and become essentially worthless. The Law of the Arts Consider the following quote concerning modern art: "For this seems, finally, to be the law of all the arts -- the one essential prerequisite to the production of a great work of art is a great man. You cannot have the art without the man, and when you have the man you have the art. His time and his surroundings will color him; his art will not be at one time or place precisely what it might be at another; but in the end, the art is the man and at all times and in all countries is just as great as the man. "Let us clear our minds, then, of the illusion that there is in any important sense such a thing as progress in the fine arts. We may with a clear conscience judge every new work for what it appears in itself to be, asking of it that it be noble and beautiful and reasonable, not that it be novel or progressive. If it be great art it will always be novel enough, for there will be a great mind behind it, and no two great minds are alike. And if it be novel without being great, how shall we be the better off? There are enough forms of mediocre or evil art in the world already. Being no longer intimidated by the fetish of progress, when a thing calling itself a work of art seems to us hideous and degraded, indecent and insane, we shall have the courage to say so and shall not care to investigate it further." Kenyon Cox The American Academy of Arts and Letters December 13, 1912 Abstract Symbols -- Real vs. Unreal Real abstract symbols are accurate metaphors. They serve as powerful, shorthand communication that can deliver intense personalized values, especially in love relationships. On the other hand, unreal symbols are inaccurate metaphors or non sequiturs. They misrepresent reality and undermine values in life and love. A person must differentiate between real and unreal symbols to flourish [Re: Table 73, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. By making use of real symbols or metaphors, a person can experience new dimensions of life and romantic love. By recognizing and rejecting unreal symbols, a person preserves confident control over reality and, thus, over his or her own life, love relationships, and future.

Footnotes: [ 76 ] A parable is a short, fictitious story usually used to illustrate a moral or religious principle. Many parables are specious rationalizations, non sequiturs, or false wisdom used out of intellectual weakness to conceal or evade facts and logic. Jesus's teachings were cast almost entirely into parables by those who later exploited him. Not until three centuries later did the professional mystics and neocheaters resurrect Jesus as a manipulative symbol around which to rally their victims. [ 77 ] Unintegrated music, especially rock music, breaks down the thought patterns of the brain. That breakdown provides a drug-like effect in blocking or avoiding the struggle, effort, and at times the pain required to think consciously. Such brain-blockage leaves one in a "pleasant", nonthinking stupor. With music constantly pounding on their eardrums, rock addicts effectively block integrated thinking. That rhythmic pounding, in turn, keeps the anxieties of their problems and incompetence buried within their unconscious minds -- buried within their nonintegrating minds. [ 78 ] Artwork (including certain poetry) that reflects negative values to the viewer can still be admired for style or craftsmanship if skillfully executed. [ 79 ] Opera integrates the major art forms: music, romantic fiction, plot, performing arts, fine arts. Verdi's opera Aida is the first and only major art work that celebrates the heroic production of a major commercial and technological value -- the opening of the Suez Canal. Neo-Tech Advantage #105 SELF-AWARENESS VERSUS MYSTICAL AWARENESS Developing accurate awareness of self and reality through honest, integrated thinking is the prime responsibility for all human beings. In fact, such awareness is a necessity to live prosperously and happily. That awareness is available to those who exert constant, rational thinking efforts toward understanding self and reality -- and the relationship between the two. No one can deliver that understanding to another. Indeed, developing an accurate understanding of self and reality is a crucial self-responsibility for personal power. Mystics struggle to avoid that constant, rational thinking effort needed to honestly and accurately integrate one's life with objective reality. That honest understanding and integration of reality is the key to competence and prosperity in a competitive world. But losers and mystics seek anyone or anything promising to deliver prepackaged knowledge that lets them avoid the hard work required to develop their own integrated knowledge and awareness. That is why mystics embrace such quackeries as astrology, fortune telling, graphoanalysis, biorhythms, most psychoanalysis, fad diets, or any other flimflam that deludes them with a sense of gaining effortless knowledge, awareness, control. By accepting such specious awarenesses conjured up by others, a person keeps drifting further from reality, becoming increasingly unaware, unhappy, and incompetent while rationalizing the opposite. Acquiring integrated awareness, competence, and happiness is a self-responsibility that no one else can deliver. No one can deliver awareness and happiness to another person because no other person is in a position to:
1. know one's own integrated self. 2. think integrally and contextually about one's own life. 3. control one's own actions. 4. integrate one's own work and life with reality. For any "authority" to have an integrated awareness of another person is impossible. No matter how complete or scientific looking (e.g., computer printouts of horoscopes or biorhythms), any such outside self-awareness analysis is invalid and mystical. And any seeming validity of such "self-awareness" packages is a specious illusion. Such illusions lead a person further away from an awareness of reality and deeper into the stupidity of mysticism -- the disease that undermines all human life and love. Entirely different from such fake "awarenesses" through mysticism is the awareness arising from the mutual mirroring of character and personal qualities between self and a friend or romantic-love partner. Such mirroring genuinely enhances self-awareness, communication, and pleasure especially between romantic-love partners. That reflecting of a person's character and qualities is based on direct, intimate knowledge of that person. Such honest, valuable reflections differ profoundly from fake awareness packages mystically reflecting personal character and qualities based on nothing. As with happiness, self-awareness cannot be given from one person to another. But by reflecting personal values, one can enhance another person's self-awareness in a similar way that one can enhance another person's happiness. Neo-Tech Advantage #106 BEYOND UNDERSTANDING Throughout the universe, much remains unknown. Yet, nothing tangible or conceptual is unknowable to the conscious mind. But with human emotions, certain specific feelings in a person can never be known or experienced by others. For all human emotions are products of individual characters based on unique fingerprint combinations of physical and psychological natures. That means personal, unique experiences cannot be duplicated by others. Thus, any emotion in any individual person can never be exactly understood or fully known by any other person. Recognizing one's inability to know certain emotional experiences in others is particularly useful in romantic-love relationships. Two important emotional experiences that cannot be cross-experienced or fully known between men and women are identified below: 1. The Penetrated versus The Penetrator Experiences and Feelings A man can never fully know the feelings, sensations, and emotions of a woman being penetrated during intercourse. Likewise, a woman can never fully know the feelings, sensations, and emotions of a man penetrating a woman. That eternal mystery of feelings further deepens between a man and a woman when they try to comprehend the feelings of orgasm in the other. That eternal, unsolvable mystery between the sexes enhances the pleasure and excitement of a love relationship as each partner struggles to get closer to the other's feelings and experiences. But they can never close the gap. Never can the feelings of orgasm in one partner be known or felt by the other partner. And for romantic-love partners, that elusive mystery is delightfully maddening and eternally challenging. That unknown quality can forever keep the heterosexual[ 80 ] experience fresh, haunting, and mysterious. Men and women can only imagine
the feelings and emotions in the other, always wondering yet never knowing how distant their imaginations are from reality. 2. Female-Nature Versus Male-Nature Experiences and Feelings A number of exclusive male or female emotions and experiences can never be fully experienced across sexual boundaries. Two examples are illustrated below: An Exclusive Female Experience: An implicit, constant physical threat toward women exists from essentially every man. That threat exists because the different physical and psychological natures of man and woman leave most men with the power literally to kill any woman at any time. Even smaller, weaker men could kill most bigger, stronger women in a bare-hand fight to the death. Thus, most women are perpetually at the physical mercy of men. Under that threat, women often must silently take the degradation of being bullied or treated as sex objects as their earned qualities are ignored. No man can fully know that particular degradation because he has no way of duplicating the conditions which create that uniquely female situation. Even if the man were unjustly treated as a sex object, he would still have no way of knowing the woman's feelings. For unlike women, his different physiological, psychological, and social orientations do not leave him under a constant, implicit death threat. An Exclusive Male Experience: A strong emotion felt by highly productive men is the desire for a peaceful core to counterbalance their aggressively assertive lives. That desire usually relates to a woman with whom such a man is free to retreat from his battlefield actions to experience peaceful love, tenderness, serenity. For only during that precious time is he free to fully expose and share his soul exclusively with another human being -- his woman. During those moments, that woman becomes to him a supreme value. Ironically, the strongest, most productive, independent men have the greatest need and capacity to receive a woman's love, support, and tenderness. Tragically, however, many such men never recognize or admit, even to themselves, that supremely important emotional need and pleasure. Similarly, strong men often never admit to other emotional needs such as being free to cry when suffering great sadness or pain. ...A man crying has been erroneously viewed as a weakness or unmanly. Many women are unaware of the need in productive men for a peaceful, private world containing a one-woman love. But women who understand that need hold a key for delivering powerful values and happiness to their men and to themselves. Understanding and filling the need for a peaceful, reflective core in aggressively productive men is among the most powerful of all binding ingredients in romantic-love relationships. Aggressively productive women also have a need to periodically retreat into peaceful reflection. Yet, that need does not comprise the same psychosexual emotions as within men because of the inherent psychological and physiological differences between men and women.

[ 80 ] The homosexual experience of male-male or female-female intercourse cannot really simulate the exclusive male-female experience. Homosexuals fail to simulate heterosexual experiences not only because of the obvious physiological differences, but because of the profound psychological differences involved between the homosexual act and the heterosexual act. Even when the physical actions are the same (such as oral sex), the wide psychological differences between men and women preclude similarities in emotional experiences. Neo-Tech Advantage #107 VALUE THEFT VS. VALUE EXCHANGE Through the 2000-year history of altruistic-based cultures, most material achievements have been maligned and attacked by theologians, politicians, and other professional mystics and altruists.[ 81 ] The motive for scorning human-produced values has always been to saddle the value producers with unearned guilt. Once saddled with guilt, value producers are more easily manipulated, duped, and usurped out of their earned power and values. Indeed, to survive, professional neocheaters and mystics must constantly usurp material and psychological values from those producers. The production of values for others is the single most important function of any person's life. Every person's survival and happiness as well as every facet of his or her physical, mental, and psychological well-being depends on the production of competitive values for others. If a person chooses not to produce sufficient values to survive, then that person must become dependent on the producers to survive by begging, cajoling, neocheating, deception, force, or theft. Thus the producer, not the consumer[ 82 ], is essential to human life and happiness. By contrast, nonproductive people are dependent on the producers to survive. And those nonproducers who neocheat to survive exist with deteriorating competence, mounting envy, and growing unhappiness. That nonproducer's life soon terminates in Growth Death, then in emotional death, and finally in physical death. A society that functions exclusively for the rational benefit of the individual has never existed.[ 83 ] A totally free, just, and rational society would by definition be a Neo-Tech society -- a society based on fully integrated honesty. Such a society would be a free-enterprise, nonforce government...a government and society that has yet to exist on planet Earth. The ethical essence of a Neo-Tech society is the holding of individual rights as supreme. Therefore, any form of initiatory force, coercion, or fraud against any individual by any individual, group, society, or government is immoral and thus is ostracizable. Any suggestion of force-free societies strikes fear into neocheating politicians, demagogues, and mystics. Knowing professional value destroyers cannot survive in a nonforce, noncoerced, free-enterprise, fully competitive society, they desperately vilify and subvert any movement toward such a society and its values. They sabotage and undercut those values with non-sequitur, out-of-context attacks. Indeed, to survive, professional mystics and neocheaters must prevent a value-oriented, Neo-Tech society. For such a society would quickly identify and forever banish them as destructive criminals. ...On rejecting mystics and neocheaters, the value producers become free to prosper guiltlessly and happily by benefiting without limits others and society. Prohibiting initiatory force, threats of force, and fraud is the only law in a Neo-Tech society. Highly effective enforcement of the individual-rights law by an integrated ostracizing system is much more punishing and effective than any police force or government jailing system. Thus, with that single, highly enforceable law, each individual would be solely responsible for his or her own actions, life, and well-being. The resulting competitive, free-choice interaction among people would deliver maximum benefits to each individual and society. That, in turn, would greatly enhance every productive person's well-being and happiness. ...Thus, to survive, the nonproductive mystics and neocheaters would have to begin producing competitive values for others instead of destructively usurping values from others.
All social interactions involve individual interactions. Value exchanges occur in valid business, friendship, and romantic-love relationships. In fact, the basic requirement for any valuable human relationship is the exchange of tangible values. But, nonproductive people often contemptuously attack competitive, tangible, and material values. For, only by attacking those values, can they conceal their parasitism and failure to fulfill their responsibilities toward producing desirable, competitive values for others and society. From the production of competitive values, all other values grow, including prosperity, self-esteem, psychological well-being, romantic love, and abiding happiness. Furthermore, competitive, tangible, and material values are important building blocks and binding ingredients of conscious relationships, especially business, friendship, and romantic-love relationships. Professional mystics and neocheaters desperately try to deny the cardinal role of producing competitive values in living happily and in gaining romantic love. But only through the exchange of such values can personal relationships become fully integrated: From an exchange of tangible and material values, a far greater stability, intensity of love, and abiding happiness can develop than is possible from a relationship consisting only of abstract values. Tangible values in a romantic-love relationship directly affect sexuality. For, exchanges of tangible values markedly increase sexual intensity and psychuous pleasure. Still, abstract values are the crucial ingredient for initiating, establishing, and maintaining a friendship or a romantic-love relationship. However, tangible and material values combined with abstract values are the variables that cause psychuous pleasures and happiness to ignite and then grow constantly [Re: Table 74, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Both love and deep friendship relationships require a base of abstract values to start. But the production of tangible and material values is necessary for moving a relationship into unlimited growth and high-gear happiness. A comparison of abstract values versus tangible values in friendship and love relationships is illustrated by the following chart: ABSTRACT VALUES VERSUS TANGIBLE VALUES (Delivered from one person to another person in friendship or love relationships) Abstract Values Psychologically valuable reflections Philosophically valuable reflections Reflections of each other's values Analytical feedback of thoughts and ideas Mirroring of personal worth, values, and ideas Tangible and Material Values Practical contributions to increasing the efficacy and productivity of the other Practical contributions to reducing or eliminating value-destroying and time-wasting problems and errors inside and outside the relationship Practical contributions to producing tangible and material values to one's self and the other Practical contributions to providing tangible and material values to the other

He was the personification of asceticism and sacrifice. He demanded the eventual sacrifice of all human beings and their values to his deemed "higher" cause of duty and obedience to society. He fed his weak ego and pseudo self-esteem with an ever increasing need for power and control over others by force. Similarly, people like Mao, Pol Pot, Nader and other altruists ignore honesty, scorn material values, and survive on unearned power gained by brute force or neocheating deceptions. They need increasing control over others to feed their weak egos. ...Such altruists gain their power by attacking and usurping values produced or earned by others. Thus, such altruists live by harming or killing innocent value producers. [ 82 ] "Consumerism" is an invalid concept conjured up by self-appointed consumer advocates. They are backed by criminal-minded politicians, neocheating journalists, dishonest academics, self-appointed environmentalists, socially chic "intellectuals", most lawyers, and dishonest white-collar-hoax business people. ...Indeed, the value producer, not the consumer, is the hero of conscious life and of civilizations throughout the universe. [ 83 ] A society has no moral or logical reason to exist except to benefit the individual and protect his and her property rights. But a fully moral, logical society has never existed. For the producers have always been tricked into accepting and supporting free-loading, professional mystics and neocheaters acting as "authorities". Such "authorities" use altruism to control value producers through false guilt. Thus, those value producers work to support those very neocheaters who harm, pillage, and eventually destroy them, their loved ones, and everyone's happiness. Neo-Tech Advantage #108 VALUE EXCHANGE IN FRIENDSHIP AND ROMANTIC-LOVE RELATIONSHIPS Without value-generating interactions, two people are of little direct value to each other -- at least no more value that any two random people might be to each other. Valuable human relationships evolve when two people deliver objective values to one another. That exchange of values measures the value of a relationship. Aside from the intrinsic value of human life that exists among all people, a person is not a value to others by merely existing. Instead, a person must deliver competitive values to be a value to others and society. Otherwise, that person will be a drain on others and a disvalue to society. And a person must continue delivering values to be a continuing value. Moreover, one must continue adding new values to existing values to experience value growth within one's self and within a relationship. Value growth is a self-created, pyramiding process that requires rational thought and constant effort to sustain. Such a growth process is the essence of human living. For value growth fills life's needs and delivers life's major rewards -- abiding prosperity, romantic love, and happiness. To fully experience life and sustain value growth requires continuous thought and effort. The need for value growth is not someone's philosophical theory or ethic. That need is an integral part of reality: Constant value growth is required for the conscious organism to function properly. A person makes a disastrous error by failing to put forth the honest, integrated thought and rational effort needed to produce growing, competitive values for others.
Tragically, most people choose to stop their growth early in life. Many stop in childhood -- soon after exerting that mighty learning effort required to read and write. When they stop exerting that effort, they stop growing. The quality of their lives then declines until physical death. ...Without growth, a person cannot experience abiding prosperity, happiness, and psychuous pleasures. Without growth, a person misses the point of conscious life. Without growth, a person dies. Growth Death is a great, unnecessary tragedy. It never has to happen to anyone; it is imposed on no one. Growth Death occurs only when the victim chooses to avoid the integrated thought and rational effort required to produce and deliver net, competitive values to others. When Growth Death occurs, then all value-based friendships and love relationships stop growing and begin to die. *** Both romantic-love relationships and friendships can involve deep psychological, philosophical, and communication interactions. But the distinguishing characteristic of a romantic-love relationship is its physicalsexual sharing. That sexual sharing, in turn, offers physical and psychological intimacy unobtainable from any other human relationship. ...Those unique physical/psychological intimacies can lead to growing psychuous pleasures. Friendship is a necessary ingredient of romantic love. Without friendship, no basis for romantic love exists.[ 84 ] A romantic-love relationship has all the ingredients of a value-oriented friendship plus the powerful ingredient of physical intimacy and sex. ...Friendship can be more personally intimate and involved than any other human relationship except a romantic-love relationship.[ 85 ] The value of friendships should neither be underestimated nor overestimated. A person can achieve unlimited psychuous pleasures and happiness through romantic love alone, without any close friend beyond one's love partner. Friendships alone, no matter how valuable or extensive, can never deliver the full spectrum of values and happiness available from a single, friendship-based romantic love. The following two ingredients will deliver a prosperous, happy life: 1. achieving self-sufficient independence through honest production of competitive values for others 2. achieving psychuous pleasures through romantic love. In other words, a person needs only his or her productive work and a romantic-love partner for a full-range, prosperous, happy life. But productive work is a basic requirement for achieving romantic love. In that sense, productive work is a cause and romantic love is an effect. Productive work is the basic requirement for human values. And romantic love and psychuous pleasures are the rewards for achieving those values. ...One cannot experience self-esteem, happiness, and romantic love without productive work. But one can experience self-esteem, happiness, and productive work without romantic love. Friendship can offer great values and pleasurable experiences. Yet, friendships, especially close friendships, can in certain cases drain valuable time needed for high levels of business, creativity, and achievement. In a demanding business or intensely creative work, a person with a valuable romantic-love partner can often reach higher levels of achievement and happiness with few or no other friends. Friendships, moreover, are subject to errors that can turn into liabilities which drain a person's time, productiveness, efficacy and, thus, happiness. But value-generating, business friendships are generally the happiest, most exciting, most valuable of all relationships, except the romantic-love relationship. *** In the end, reality prevails over life. The total experience of every person's life always moves toward justice as reality asserts itself: Productive, rational individuals increasingly gain prosperity, love, and happiness from life.
Conversely, unproductive, irrational individuals increasingly lose prosperity, love, and happiness -- no matter what the surface appearances. Abstract values of a friendship are normally not negotiable for tangible and material values. Likewise, tangible and material values normally cannot be converted into abstract values. Occasional exceptions do exist. Exceptions occur mainly in romantic-love relationships because the intense physical/psychological interactions tend to pull abstract values and material values closer together. At times, within a romantic-love relationship, those values can become interrelated. For example, emotional and sexual love provided by one partner can tangibly increase the creative, productive output of the other partner. Likewise, certain tangible values can amplify abstract values. For example, creative and productive accomplishments of one partner can increase the emotional love, sexual exhilaration, and psychuous pleasures of the other partner. Generally, in a friendship or romantic-love relationship, an exchange of abstract values (be they healthy, neurotic, or a mixture) is taken for granted and occurs naturally. In friendship relationships, much of the abstract value interchange consists of open, casual exchanges of ideas and suggestions -- a type of easy two-way communication that often is mutually valuable. Indeed, such exchanges of ideas and suggestions occur in most good conversations between friends or lovers. Other abstract values exchanged between two people in a valid love or friendship relationship include psychologically pleasing or enhancing reflections, consistent encouragement (especially during difficult times), mirroring various psychological values, understanding feedback of the other's thoughts or activities, and the exchange of practical ideas obtained from each person's unique life experiences. Sometimes abstract values from a friend or love partner can be beneficially integrated into one's personal life to increase awareness, productivity, and happiness. Generally, abstract values are offered freely, without the thought or expectation of material or tangible payment. In a love or a friendship relationship, no one needs to measure or weigh that natural interchange of abstract values. For that exchange is freely taken and given as a natural, pleasurable, expected part of any good relationship. Thus, abstract values cannot be used to pay for material values. For material values must always be fairly traded.[ 86 ] Material values represent irreplaceable segments of a person's life, effort, and time required to earn those values. Every productive human being needs to trade (not give away) his or her produced values in order to survive, grow, and be happy. If material and tangible values are not traded mutually and fairly, then a portion of a person's life is sacrificed to another person at the expense of both people. As a result of that unfairness, both happiness and friendship decline.[ 87 ] [Re: "Two Letters about Friendship and Love", pages 379389; Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia.] Those who misunderstand the nature of friendship or romantic love may try to use abstract values as payment for material values. In doing so, they are exploiting their friendship or love relationships. Such people unjustly extract material values from others for the "privilege" of those others being in their presence. They unilaterally deem their abstract values as payment for tangible and material values. That kind of exploitation, aside from being unjust and parasitical, poisons the relationship. More important, habitual trading of abstract values for tangible values diminishes that person's ability to produce and deliver tangible values. Such unfair trading leaves that person increasingly incompetent and dependent on others for material or tangible values. ...The potential for friendship, romantic love, and happiness is always the greatest among value-producing men and women who fairly trade tangible and material values in their relationships.

Footnotes: [ 84 ] Valuable, family-love relationships also develop from a base of friendship. [ 85 ] A friendship or any human relationship changes irrevocably upon having sexual relations. But a sexual relationship is not synonymous with a romantic-love relationship. Still, a romantic-love relationship must by nature involve sex. [ 86 ] Fairly traded, tangible values do not necessarily mean evenly traded, tangible values. Moreover, a highly competent, nonmystical housewife can through integrated thinking and consistent efforts contribute great tangible and material values to her husband's ability to work more efficiently and effectively, thus, generate more values and income. For that, he fairly trades by providing his wife with tangible and material goods. [ 87 ] If either partner is net destructive to the other, the relationship should end. [Re: Concept 95, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] Neo-Tech Advantage #109 UNDERSTANDING JUSTICE, GOOD, AND LOVE Contrary to the pronouncements of most modern linguists and social "scientists", words and language are primarily tools of thinking, not of communication. But clear thinking would lead to identification of the value destroyers. Thus, professional mystics and neocheaters must constantly attack and debase words and language to prevent clear thinking. For the existences of professional value destroyers depend on obscuring, distorting, and concealing reality in order to perpetuate fuzzy thinking among their victims. To accomplish that obfuscation, the mystics and neocheaters must (1) use words out of context, (2) twist and invert meanings of key words and concepts, and (3) dishonestly build on rationalizations and non sequiturs. ...They develop their own newspeak without regard to honesty. Honest intellectuals concerned about the decay of language know that twisting and misusing words corrode the tools of thinking. But that is only half the problem. Protecting honesty and language also involves context. Powerful thinking requires not only using consistent, exact definitions but also precise, accurate contexts for all words and concepts. To accurately define meanings and contexts of important words and concepts is not only central to precise communication, oral or written, but is the key to effective thinking and understanding reality. By contrast, twisting meanings of key words and using concepts out of context are the primary techniques of professional mystics and neocheaters, especially those in the media. For they exist by distorting or inverting language to deceive others. They invert the meanings of important words in order to rationalize their deceptions, destructions, thefts, use of force, and other irrational, immoral actions. And they do that often under inverted newspeak pretexts of justice, social good, human rights, and "higher" causes. In seeking honesty and understanding of reality, one must be aware of both definition and context of key words. But neocheating "intellectuals", in their need to conceal meanings, exert mighty efforts to distort the meaning and invert the context of crucial words such as the following words:
Capitalism
Peace
Consumer Ecology Good Justice Love
Producer Reality Rights Selfishness Truth
Words can also represent concepts. The more basic the concept, the greater abstraction and integration is required to fully grasp that concept. The most difficult concepts to grasp in their full, accurate context are the most basic human concepts such as: Justice Good Love Throughout history, those three basic concepts have been used out of context or inverted in meaning by all professional mystics and neocheaters in their constant need to camouflage their destructive, parasitical existences. When neocheaters speak of justice, they are usually promoting unjust, destructive actions against the value producer, objective values, individual rights, private property, and the means to produce values and achieve happiness. When neocheaters speak of good -- the common good or the "higher" good -- they are usually promoting destructive altruism designed to usurp or destroy values earned by others. When neocheaters speak of love and brotherhood, they are usually promoting envious, promiscuous, egalitarian schemes designed to cripple competitive value producers and undermine romantic love. To fully understand the basic concepts of justice, good, and love requires an accurate understanding of human nature relative to reality. That understanding requires integrations of the many specific concepts identified by Neo-Tech. To understand the concept of romantic love, for example, requires understanding the various NeoTech/Psychuous concepts needed to understand romantic love in full, accurate context. Because the concepts of justice, good, and love are inextricably linked, all three concepts are fully integrated throughout the Neo-Tech literature. Neo-Tech Advantage #110 FACTS AND JUSTICE In American cities, white neighborhoods are generally safer than black neighborhoods. Throughout history, men have reached greater heights in intellectual, aesthetic, and commercial achievements than have women. In general, Jews are more intelligent, productive, creative and, therefore, more potent in life and sex than people of other religions, nationalities, or races.[ 88 ] Are those the words of a racist, a chauvinist, a Zionist zealot? Perhaps so if such statements were directed toward or used in judgment of particular individuals. But the statements are made in reference to objective, statistical facts that are real. When those statements are placed in the proper context of being generalized statistics that do not characterize any particular individual, they are then validly applicable to generalized situations. If the data are accurate, then in-context inferences from those data are factual and must be considered in order to make honest evaluations and correct decisions. Consider, for example, the provable statistic that in all major
U.S. cities a significantly higher percentage of Blacks than Whites injure and murder people.[ 89 ] That is a statistical fact regardless of the reasons or so-called social causes. But to apply that statistical fact to any individual would be out-of-context and unjust because such statistics can not be validly or honestly applied to any particular individual. On the other hand, to ignore or distort in-context facts is a dishonest evasion of reality. Such dishonest evasions of reality mystically conceal the knowledge required to deal accurately with reality in making effective decisions and judgments. For example, consider if a white or black person is concerned with physical safety for his or her loved ones and property: What if that person had the choice of living in equivalent housing in a predominantly black, depressed community or in a predominantly white, equally depressed community? Basing that choice on facts, that person would choose to live in the white community. Indeed, that person would have made the correct decision without necessarily harboring any bigotry or without acting unjustly or harmfully toward any individual. Likewise, from factual statistics, a much higher percentage of men than women accomplish major intellectual, artistic, and commercial achievements. Regardless of the causes or reasons, that statistical fact has been true throughout recorded history and is still true today. However, with the increased educational, social, economic, and financial freedoms now available to Western women, the percentage of women attaining high achievement has increased. But the increase is nowhere near the proportion of increased opportunities for women. Women, in general, have not fully utilized their increased freedoms and opportunities. Still, to blindly apply that statistical fact to any individual woman would be unjust, inaccurate, and out of context. But to ignore that statistical fact in its proper, generalized context would be a mystical evasion of reality that could result in serious errors in judgment and thinking needed for honest, accurate business and personal decisions. Proper in-context generalizations based on accurate facts are necessary to accurately perceive reality, to know what is going on, and to make correct decisions. On the other hand, a person must never apply statistical data or generalizations to any specific individual. To do so would not only be unjust and dishonest, but would also be inaccurate, misleading, and a mystical distortion of reality. Conversely, applying individual characterizations to general groups of people would likewise be invalid, unjust, dishonest, misleading, and mystical. To most effectively use the Neo-Tech Advantages, one must not only integrate thought with action, but must integrate both in-context generalized facts with in-context specific facts [Re: Table 77, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. Next Page | Contents | Feedback for Valuable/New Information | Previous Page Footnotes: [ 88 ] Jews are generally more evolved, moral, productive, inte lligent, creative, and potent than other groups of people. Why? Mainly because the Jewish religion is less harmful than religions or mysticisms engulfing other people. The Jewish religion itself is harmful and irrational as are all mystical religions and governments. But the Judeo ethics project less guilt toward value producers and less malevolence toward human values such as productive effort, sexual pleasures, creativity, self-sufficiency than do the much more virulent, envious ethics of Christianity (especially Roman Catholicism), Islam, and other evilly destructive religions. Also, the Jewish religion is more oriented around respect for self and less around respect for external "authority" such as government. In addition, the post-Renaissance Jewish god has been basically a god of justice as opposed to the Christian god of mercy. (Mercy is arbitrary, subjective, and unjust -- the opposite of justice.*) Jewish people, therefore, have been
freer to reject other mysticisms and live for their rational best interests. That allows them to more fully and guiltlessly develop their own creative and intellectual capacities to the maximum benefit of themselves, society, and civilization. The state of Israel, despite its illegal origins, is comprised of individuals -- mainly innocent individuals. And Israel today has perhaps the only moral foreign policy among all nations. That policy is based on the profound moral right to self-defense. In fact, a single-purpose foreign policy based entirely on self-defense is the only rational, moral foreign policy possible. For that alone, Israel must be recognized and morally supported. Twentieth-century Zionism did criminally violate the individual and property rights of some Palestinians. But, most violations of individual and prosperity rights of the Palestinians were done by the Palestinians themselves or their Arab neighbors. The injustices and moral wrongs experienced by those Palestinians forcefully separated from their homes and properties were very real and condemnable, even though the Palestinians who suffered property losses were financially compensated by Israel. Today, most Jews are innocent. They are not responsible for past crimes by others. Thus, they cannot be held guilty by association or penalized for the actions of others. But, Jews and Arabs alike who are guilty of objective crimes should be fully prosecuted. * Based on objective principles, justice is an end in itself. The idea behind government "justice" systems is not justice at all, but is the subjective, arbitrary idea of mercy. For mercy serves the neocheater's need to control others. How mercy only serves the neocheaters is most evident in the ideas behind jailing people: Imprisonment for rehabilitation, correction, or deterrent reasons are mystical notions designed by neocheaters to arbitrarily exercise force over individuals. The only punishments that are moral (including execution for premeditated murder) are those based solely on justice to the victim. Mystics and neocheaters will always hide the concept of justice for it would leave them powerless, stripping them of their major aggression tool for controlling and usurping values from others. For example, with the concept of objective justice, all such victimless-crime and confiscatory-tax laws would be unenforceable because no individual had been previously injured by force, fraud, or coercion to which justice could be addressed. In fact, enforcing such subjective laws is the antithesis of justice in that such laws make problems where none exist in order to unjustly and destructively control others by force or threat of force.

Neo-Tech Advantage #111 NEO-TECH -- THE BENEFICENT SOLUTION TO RACISM As with any feeling or emotion, an unacted-upon racist feeling is not subject to guilt or moral judgment. Mind crimes do not exist, except through the false-guilt ploys of political, religious, and "intellectual" neocheaters. Only when racist feelings are translated into harmful actions does racism become unjust, immoral, guilty. Destructive, government-implemented racism occurs in Zionist Israel and in apartheid South Africa. But much more destructive racism occurs in all Arab, Moslem, and black-African dictatorships as well as in many Asian countries such as the USSR, India, and Red China. But, ironically, the freest countries practicing racism potentially present the most tragic dilemmas: What is the remedy to Zionist racism that forcibly violates the individual rights of millions of Palestinians? The only moral position is to restore full individual rights to everyone, including the Palestinians. But that would seem
to allow even greater violations of individual rights by permitting a much worse, Syrian-like dictatorship or a murderous, Iranian-like theocracy take over. In principle, Israel's problem is similar to South Africa's problem. Both forcibly implement racist policies. But in South Africa, the problem today arises not as much from racism as from the fear that a much worse, murderous racist Leninism would take over. Most rational South Africans, both blacks and whites, fear that ending the current system would allow the worst form of neocheating and mysticism (murderous Marxist-Leninism) to take over and destroy whatever is good and worsen whatever is bad. An unsolvable dilemma? Not at all. Instead, spectacularly beneficial solutions exist through Neo-Tech: By using Neo-Tech principles, people can explicitly and permanently eliminate initiatory force and fraud by any person, group, or government. In other words, Neo-Tech effectively dismantles the mechanism for government to initiate force or fraud. A Neo-Tech based society has but a single law and responsibility -- to protect the individual rights of everyone. [Re: Neo-Tech Advantage #82] Neo-Tech is the solution to racism in South Africa, in Israel, as well as in all fascist, Marxist, and theocratic regimes. For, Neo-Tech collapses force-backed power and laws, leaving that society with the sole power and function to protect the individual rights of everyone -- black, white, man, woman, rich, poor, Jew, Palestinian, business person, laborer. Neo-Tech frees individuals from initiatory force, fraud, and destructive oppression. Neo-Tech protects each person's individual and property rights from Marxist-Leninism destruction and other forms of force and coercion. In South Africa, Israel, and totalitarian nations, Neo-Tech would free victims of force-backed racism and vanquish laws backed by force. In turn, eliminating that mechanism for initiating force would dramatically strengthen selfdefense for protecting the individual rights and property of everyone. Thus, Neo-Tech would eliminate the threat of destruction that now awaits those in South Africa and Israel, especially the value producers and their property. For, Neo-Tech delivers a safe, orderly society of unprecedented prosperity and happiness reaching forever into the future. Neo-Tech is the freedom and inspiration for those still living under force-backed, totalitarian governments. In one stroke, Neo-Tech will end those fears and threats by denuding the professional value destroyers of their power. For Neo-Tech dismantles their mechanisms of initiatory force and coercion. At the same time, Neo-Tech provides iron-clad protection to individual rights. The choice is (1) a holocaust or (2) the dark ages, or (3) the sunlit world of Neo-Tech. With the worldwide distribution of the Neo-Tech Discovery occurring today in most major languages, the choice will be Neo-Tech. ...For nothing can stop Neo-Tech. Nothing can stop the demise of mysticism and all its symbiotic neocheaters. Neo-Tech Advantage #112 VERTICAL THINKING, HORIZONTAL THINKING, AND DREAMING Vertical thinking is thinking within the known boundaries of knowledge. Vertical thinking is developmental thinking that leads to fuller development of knowledge. Integrated vertical thinking develops the depths and richness of life. Many areas of life from business to romantic-love relationships have vast potentials for rewarding development through vertical thinking. Horizontal thinking is thinking beyond the boundaries of known knowledge. Horizontal thinking is creative thinking that leads to new ideas, values, businesses, thoughts, experiences, humor[ 90 ]. Integrated horizontal thinking yields new areas for vertical development. The combination of horizontal and vertical thinking leads to a neverending progression of knowledge, values, prosperity, and happiness. Vertical and horizontal thinking are uniquely
human attributes that have no limits or bounds. Such consistent, honest thinking propels a person to never-ending knowledge, prosperity , romantic love, and happiness. In a Neo-Tech society, all individuals are free to think and function to their fullest. Being free from mystics and neocheaters, individuals guiltlessly become responsible for their own lives, thinking, actions, well-being, and happiness.[ 91 ] ...What happens when vertical and horizontal thinking combine with rational action? Happiness and romantic love evolve from an ever-upward spiral of earned power and prosperity. [Re: The concept of vertical versus horizontal thinking originated from Edward DeBono, New Think, Basic Books, N.Y.] Dreaming -- Thinking in Reverse Dreaming is the thinking process in reverse: Dreaming is the mind's garbage-disposing process. Dreams help purge the mind of unintegrated clutter, mysticism, and meaningless non sequiturs absorbed while awake. Thus, contrary to the mystical notions of Freud, dreams have no meanings or connections to reality. And dream "analysis" is nothing more than feeding regurgitated clutter back into the mind. Plus, the more mysticism and non sequiturs that crowd the mind, the more frequent and nightmarish dreams become. Then subsequent dreams increasingly lose their therapeutic, garbage-disposal effects. If the mind becomes increasingly loaded with mystical notions, one's dreams grow less effective in purging and protecting the mind from clutter. The mind then becomes unable to store, integrate, or function efficiently enough to let that person live as a happy, intelligent, productive, conscious being.

Neo-Tech Advantage #113 UTOPIAS REJECTED THE BEST PERIOD OF HISTORY -- NOW Left-wing, right-wing, conservative, and "liberal" views all stem from the same reactionary, Platonistic root. All are dependent on dishonest mysticism and all are philosophically entrenched in the neocheating ploys of sacrifice and altruism. Such altruistic philosophies are contrary to human nature and well-being. Social utopias extrapolated from any altruistic premise are by nature Platonistic, destructive, and totalitarian. Such utopias depend on sacrifice, force, coercion, controls, and doomsday predictions.[ 92 ] With those conditions, the individual's best interests are always subjugated to the utopian "higher" causes. Thus, being continuously
neocheated and drained by utopian rulers, the individual becomes less and less able to produce competitive values for others and society. By contrast, in a Neo-Tech society, the individual is free to function according to his or her biological nature in becoming more and more productive for others and society. The natural happiness and freedom in a Neo-Tech society starkly contrasts to socialistic utopias. In such utopias, individuals are compelled to sacrifice their valueproducing competence and efficacy to the altruistic, "higher" causes of utopian rulers. [Re: Table 79, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia] Only in a noncoercive Neo-Tech society are productive individuals free to function according to their nature in order to achieve maximum prosperity, psychuous pleasures, and happiness by delivering maximum values to society. Although altruistic, anti-individualism is still growing throughout the world, today stands as the most exciting, enlightened period of all history. For the first time in history, an inescapable matrix of Neo-Tech knowledge is available to collapse mysticism and replace every neocheating system with a free, prosperous Neo-Tech society.[ 93 ] Productive individuals will then reign free and supreme to experience endlessly growing prosperity, romantic love, and abiding happiness. ...The best time of all history is now!

Such utopias would block the exciting, never-ending discoveries that naturally occur through advances in knowledge, technology, and art by productive individuals in a non-utopian, free society. [ 93 ] In a Neo-Tech society, the only actions that are prohibited are the use of initiatory force, coercion, or fraud against any individual. That prohibition is upheld by ostracism as well as the right to use retaliatory, self-defense force or legal action against any initiator of force, coercion, or fraud. Neo-Tech Advantage #114 YOUTH-REJUVENATING IMMORTALITY NOW (Also see Appendix F and Neo-Tech V) Animals live, age, and die without choice, according to their environment and biological nature. That no-choice situation does not exist for human beings. Only human beings have the choice and power to control nature. People can learn to continuously expand the value of their lives. They do that by increasingly developing knowledge and productivity to experience increasing earned power, prosperity, and happiness. Likewise, people can learn how to continuously extend their biological/psychological lives through Neo-Tech knowledge, technology, and business. Youth-rejuvenating immortality is the supreme moral achievement for conscious beings as their individual lives become increasingly valuable with increasing age, knowledge, and experience.
Life can be immortal. Today, for the first time, no one has to age and then die -- intellectually, psychologically, or physically. With current technology, free of mysticism and neocheating, commercial biological immortality for conscious beings is possible in a decade or less by not one but by several different scientifically feasible routes. Indeed, youth-perpetuating biological immortality will be quickly accomplished when the current anti-life, mystical/neocheating cultures are collapsed by Neo-Tech. With that collapse, the professional mystics and neocheaters will lose their power. In their place will rise a Neo-Tech/Neothink society in which the life of the individual is revered as the supreme value in the universe. [Re: Concept 116, Table 51, Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia]. In a Neo-Tech/Neothink society, self-rejuvenation of and/or exact-replica replacement of body parts, including the entire body could be possible in less than ten years through already known biological techniques and future nanotechnologies. Today, however, the primary problem of achieving youth-rejuvenating immortality is not medical or technical, but is philosophical. ...With Neo-Tech curing the always terminal disease of mysticism, conscious life will change from always terminal to forever eternal. Biological immortality could be achieved quickly in an unregulated, free-enterprise, Neo-Tech atmosphere. That business atmosphere of fully integrated thinking and honesty would boom commercial research seeking maximum profits from rejuvenation developments and immortality services. Non-aging biological immortality would have the widest market and maximum value of any commercial product or service possible to conscious beings. Yet, the enormous commercial and moral incentives to achieve human immortality remain unrecognized because of the prevailing, mystical, anti-life philosophies and the neocheating "authorities" whose control over value production prevent the motivation and freedom for producers to develop biological immortality. Absolute I-ness immortality accomplished by creating a perfectly restorable conscious mind and sense of self (Iness) would have a profound psychological impact on every productive human being: Imagine the impact of planning one's own life for the next 300 years. Imagine the time that would be available to build accomplishments, careers, and interests. Imagine if one's life span were suddenly expanded to 300 years, 1000 years, 10,000 years. Imagine the value and respect placed on human lives that forever increased in value. ...Current technology indicates that such definitive, biological immortality would be both scientifically and technically possible in less than a decade in a free society that recognizes individual consciousness as the supreme value in the universe. Pending further technological development, biological immortality would include the transfer of one's consciousness and sense of one's self (I-ness) into genetically identical entities (e.g., to blank or tabula-rasa brains in cloned bodies). Neo-Tech V lists other routes to non-aging biological immortality feasible within the scope of current technology. Neo-Tech Pincer Movement #1, volume #2, Guns-and-Fists Newsletter #3-2 also demonstrates why the concept of cryonics is axiomatically flawed, guarantees death, and plays a negative role toward achieving I-ness immortality. The Value of Life: Einstein and the Factory Worker If Einstein -- or just his brain -- could have been kept functioning after his death, imagine the additional benefits that mind would have bestowed on society: Is not that the main motivation for and value of immortality? Is not that the moral purpose of biological immortality? No, absolutely not. That is an altruistic view that stymies the effort, motivation, and moral mandate needed to develop commercial I-ness immortality within our generation. The entire purpose, motivation, and goal of biological immortality is not so a brain can continue to serve some "higher" cause, but so the flesh-and-blood individual, from an Einstein to a productive factory worker, can
continue to physically enjoy life and create happiness for his or her own self and loved ones by continually producing values for others. As a result (not a purpose), the immortal individual will increasingly benefit others and society as that person becomes increasingly knowledgeable, experienced, and efficient at producing competitive values desired by others. The value of Einstein's or anyone else's life is meaningful only to one's own flesh-and-blood life and living happiness, not to some society or "higher" cause. Why Do So Many People Not Want to Live Forever? Because They Fail to Earn Guiltless Prosperity, Love, and Happiness Needed to Experience the Passion to Live and Love Forever The more people let mysticism influence their lives, the more they become unknowledgeable, undermine values, grow lazy, lose happiness, dislike life. With increasing mysticism, they become increasingly incompetent to earn honest values, power, love, and happiness. In addition, the more people accept mysticism, the more neocheaters can manipulate them. And the more manipulated and less successful one becomes, the more painful and difficult life becomes until the idea of living forever becomes abhorrent, even terrifying. ...Only people who purge themselves of hateful, destructive mysticism can earn the values, power, and happiness needed to experience the passion to live and love forever. Unstoppable Neo-Tech Professional mystics and neocheaters have perfected and perpetuated their hoax of inverted values for the past 2000 years. But today, Neo-Tech is in forward motion around the world. The Neo-Tech matrix is spreading. It is unstoppable, irreversible, and will collapse the entire destructive hoax of mysticism. No mystic or neocheater can stop Neo-Tech from eliminating mysticism and its symbiotic neocheaters. Happiness Forever With life ageless and immortal, mystic-free conscious beings can forever experience growing prosperity, love, happiness, and life itself through productive work, romantic love, psychuous pleasures, and I-ness immortality. ...The moral purpose of all conscious life would then be met -- increasing happiness forever. INTRODUCTION CATAPULT YOUR WEALTH AND PERSONAL OPPORTUNITY BY STARTING A GLOBAL EMPIRE -EVEN FROM YOUR OWN HOME
Capture a Global Empire of Wealth! International, global business. Everybody is talking about it. But did you realize that you, the average working person, can and should start a worldwide business? Even from your own home! Consider Eric Savage. He does business in 120 countries, has travelled all over the globe, has resided on five continents, and is involved in lucrative business dealings the world over. Yet, just ten years ago, Eric started working in a small, family-owned business. Within a year, he had expanded sales into 53 countries. How? Eric uncovered The Money-Essence Concepts of Global Business. Those money-essence concepts catapulted little NeoTech Publishing into a lucrative global empire. Today, the President of the United States, CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, top economists, even management gurus give speeches about how international business is the key to competitiveness and future prosperity. That is all true. But, what Eric discovered is that the enormous opportunity of international business can also be captured by the person in the street, even hourly wage-earners. Ricochet into Money-Making Dynamics on a Global Scale Ironically, the power of global business can ricochet the average person into money-making dynamics on a major scale. The Money-Essence Concepts of Global Business reveal how ordinary wage-earners, instead of being shut out of the enormous opportunities of global business, can reverse the tables to actually catapult off the wealthopportunity residing in global business. Wealthy Dynamics As Eric Savage mushroomed little Neo-Tech Publishing into a global empire, he discovered that all really great opportunities lie within dynamics that appear complicated. For example, the easiest way for a person to start his own wealth-generating business is not by struggling to open a small, local business. Ironically, that is too competitive. Scores of people are always doing just that. Instead, the easiest and most profitable way for a person to start his or her own business is to leap right into the vast, extremely exciting arena of global business. The individual who seeks out wealth-generating dynamics that no one else is tapping, like starting an international business from one's home, can make millions of dollars. The World's Vast Infrastructure Becomes a Personal Catalyst to Wealth The Money-Essence Concepts of Global Business are a new dimension of wealth-generating techniques. These techniques hone in on the money-making essence of business and then catapult that essence out over the entire world. With these techniques, a person discovers that global wealth is available to essentially every individual. Yet, for all but a few, that potential remains untapped. Imagine doing business all over the world. What a change in your wealth power that would be! Yet, there is no reason why you cannot do just that. Armed with The Money-Essence Concepts of Global Business, the world's vast infrastructure becomes a personal catalyst to wealth. A person does not have to remain within a set-routine job that is not integrated with any money-making essence. Instead, he or she can integrate with the essence of wealth creation and then mushroom those dynamics worldwide. With The Money-Essence Concepts of Global Business, creating a successful international business is actually easier, less competitive, and much more profitable than starting and running a local hometown business.
Become a "Star" Soon after starting your own international business, you can travel the world and make money doing it! You can capture supra-success, wealth, excitement. You can become the envy of your peers. Eric, for example, travels to more glamorous, exciting cities and countries in one month than most others do in a lifetime. With The Money-Essence Concepts of Global Business, you, too, can push into a totally new dimension of life. You, too, can become a world tycoon. Even Romantic Opportunity Abounds As you begin learning and mastering the wealth-creating essence of global business, your success will begin radiating outward. Suddenly, you will become viewed by individuals the world over as a strong, successful, romantic international man or woman. Potential spouses in countries and cultures the world over begin competing for you. ...That happened to Eric! He could hardly believe it. Now Is the Time to Act Now is the time to get into international, global business. The opportunities will never be greater. And these opportunities exist for everyone, not just CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. Armed with The Money-Essence Concepts of Global Business, small businessmen and even hourly wage-earners can explode into international, global business as Eric did. The incredible wealth-dynamics of international, global business are wide open. Those who get in early will get rich. Break Out into a Worldwide, Heliocentric-Like Mode Most people are saddled with a restricted, single-nation outlook. Historically, people stayed within the boundaries of their own community. Prior to the development of reason-like consciousness 3000 years ago, the world outside a man's tribe was more than his limited mind could comprehend. Today, vestiges of that tribal mentality still exist. Most people think in terms of living and doing business only within the borders of their country of birth. In addition, the ruling class has always promoted a restricted, single-nation outlook as well. Those with political power work to create the deception that people belong to their country of birth, that they are owned by their government, and that their options in life are restricted to whatever rules are imposed upon them. In contrast, when a person expands his mind and his resources out over the entire globe, he can utilize all of mankind's resources. He can prosper beyond any previous limits. Such an internationalist takes control of his destiny. He does not remain trapped by local prejudices, restricting cultures, or self-proclaimed authorities. Any group that depends upon special privileges granted by the government -- be it politicians, bureaucrats, big business, unions, trade organizations, or other special interests -- will support restricting individuals into a single-nation mode. For, when individuals come into co ntact with people who enjoy more freedom, who hold different beliefs, who have developed more knowledge and different technologies, or who produce superior products, their minds are opened. Home-spun myths, prejudices, and deceptions woven by the ruling class to protect their own livelihoods and positions of power become questioned. Outside ideas, outside knowledge, outside freedoms, even outside products have always been opposed by entrenched special interests. Those with favored positions become ques tioned when people are exposed to new ideas, new knowledge, new freedoms, new products. As a consequence, traditional forces always push to restrict people within narrow, single-nation boundaries. Throughout history, people have been forced into restricted spheres of thinking and acting.
The Restricted Geocentric Mode Versus the Wide-Open Heliocentric Mode The article "Neo-Tech, The Philosophical Zero," by Ray Kotobuki explains the ge ocentric concept versus the heliocentric concept. Historically, people would look up at the sky and see the sun circling the earth in the day and the stars circling the earth at night. Thus, they believed in a geocentric universe -- i.e., that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun and stars circled the earth. But, those people were just looking at what was right in front of them. They were using only their percepts. That contrasts with a heliocentric mode of thinking. A heliocentr ic mode involves thinking in wide-scope concepts and integrating several variables at once. The heliocentric thinker, through scientific observation and testing, grasps the wider picture that the earth is circling the sun, which in turn is circling the galaxy. But, to grasp that wider heliocentric concept requires going beyond one's percepts; it requires integrated thinking. Integrated thinking pushes the mind beyond a limited, perceptual thinking mode and into an unlimited, conceptual thinking mode. The discovery of the heliocentric concept removed limitations that for centuries stifled progress in astronomy and navigation. Science could finally progress forward in those areas of knowledge. Such progress, however, could never begin until the false, geocentric concept of the universe was overcome. That was not easy. Galileo was imprisoned for promoting the heliocentric concept. By employing heliocentric-like integrated thinking, a person can break out of stagnation traps. Heliocentric-lik e integrated thinking pushes the mind into totally new dimensions. (See Integrated Thinking: The Essence of Power and Wealth, Chapter V.) The Little-Religious-Town Analogy To further illustrate the open-ended nature of heliocentric-like integrated thinking versus the restricted nature of geocentric-like perceptual thinking, imagine the following scenario. It is the early 1800s. You are born into a small, religious town i n the Pennsylvania countryside. Your town's culture and knowledge is dominated by a fiery preacher who induces original-sin-type guilt in everyone. He attacks all advancements in science, philosophy, and culture as Satan's work. Your town is full of stifling prejudices and preconceived notions. You are not happy in such an atmosphere. You feel your potential is limited. Then, one day you journey far outside your little town for the first time. You travel to the big city of Philadelphia. When you arrive in Philadelphia, your mind is boggled. The city is so vast, so different. New ideas, culture, philosophy, scientific advancements flow freely everywhere. Suddenly, that all-powerful, closed-minded preacher who dominated your life, who held lifeand-death control over your destiny back in your little town, becomes powerless. You realize for the first time that there is a whole world outside of your little town and its stifling prejudices. You now realize that you can simply laugh that silly, op portunity-restricting preacher out of your life. In the big city, your mind is free to expand to its fullest potential. You experience an exciting release. A similar situation exists for many people today, only on a much wider scale. They are restricted into single-nation livelihoods. They do not realize that they can break out into a vast, new dimension of world opportunity, excitement, wealth. Strive to Produce the Most Values Possible Worldwide business is a competitive catalyst. It is the key to unlimited opportunity. In the future, to survive and prosper, a business must become a worldwide operation.
But, small businessmen and entrepreneurs often hold a false, geocentric-like notion that they can only operate within their home country. In reality, any individual can and should keep pushing until his values are available all over the world. Traditionally, a small businessman thinks something like "I can see a big Fortune 500 company pushing into overseas markets, but why should I push to get my little business into overseas markets? Does that really make sense?" The answer lies in obtaining a wide-open, heliocentric-like perspective. If an entrepreneur can go from red to black with a local business, then he or she can go from red to black everywhere. The United States represents only one-fourth of the world's market. Three-fourths of the world's market is outside America. Thus, the U.S. i s actually a small market, relatively speaking. The only way to capitalize on the full force of the world economy is to have a relentless campaign to disseminate one's value-producing dynamics everywhere. The competitive advantages a person and a business will gain by pushing out worldwide are priceless. If a person is pushing his business into Europe, into Asia, into South America, he is going to acquire a superworldly, competitive view that cannot be acquired by any other means. His business will receive direct, competitive feedback from all over the world. And that will catapult his competitiveness back home. Such a worldly business will capture a mighty advantage over any competitor who fails to push into international markets. Similar competitive dynamics apply to the individual. National boundaries are leftover vestiges of tribal man. The concept that one belongs to a specific country, that one must live and operate within politician-created boundaries, is a limited, geocentric-like pe rspective. Unfortunately, most people are still restricted by such geocentric-like thinking. The average man seldom integrates beyond his country's borders. Doing so is the key to supra-wealth and success. Dump the Neocheaters In every country of the world, politicians determine laws according to what they think will make them popular -not by what is honest and objective. But, the individual or the company that pushes out i nternationally can escape that arbitrary dishonesty and usurpation. An international entrepreneur and his company can outcompete dishonest, closed systems. An international entrepreneur has a world of heliocentric-like options before him. If a business pushes out over the entire world, it breaks dependency upon any single country. For example, NeoTech Publishing Company was viciously attacked by a parliament member in Australia. That Australian parliament member had read Neo-Tech literature and wa nted to stop that literature because it exposed the value-usurping nature of political government. So, that Australian politician attempted to have the Australian parliament ban NeoTech literature. If Neo-Tech Publishing were a traditional, one-country publisher based only in Australia, Neo-Tech would have been fighting for its life. Neo-Tech's survival would have been at the mercy of force-backed politicians. But, because Neo-Tech is an international company, the whole incident was almost comical. Although Australia is a profitable market for Neo-Tech Publishing, it represents only a small portion of Neo-Tech's total worldwide business -- not 100% of Neo-Tech's business as it would for a traditional, one-nation publishing company. Thus, Neo-Tech Publishing was able to confidently and aggressively confront that neocheating action.[ 1 ] Neo-Tech Publishing was not afraid to expose the dishonest, value-usurping nature of that government neocheater . As a result, that parliament member quickly retreated. After that Australian incident, Neo-Tech Publishing realized how similar dynamics apply everywhere. If powerseeking bureaucrats or special-interest groups in the United States, for example, decide that they can gain an advantage or popularity by singling out and attacking a traditional American business, such as happened with Tucker Motor Company and Drexel Burnham Lampert, that American company is easily put out of business. But, if
the U.S. represents only a portion of that company's total business, life-and-death power is not within the hands of a few political power-seekers. By expanding globally, an individual and a company can break the 3000-year hoax of force-backed external authority. This is a very profound concept. For, this is the goal of classical liberals, Libertarians, Objectivists, Voluntarists, and other freedom-seekers. Yet, simply through the nitty-gritty effort of business, learning to make a business go from red to b lack, then pushing that business out worldwide, such an ideal can be achieved. ITT and the Cuban Example Consider ITT. ITT used to be the Cuban telephone company. That was ITT's business. ITT could feel pretty good about itself. It was one of the largest businesses in Cuba. If the communists had not taken over Cuba and expropriated ITT, ITT would still be the phone company of Cuba today, probably have diversified into some other Cuban businesses, and have achieved a reasonable rate of growth. ITT's management would have been feeling pretty good about themselves. Instead, the communists took over Cuba and expropriated ITT. So, ITT's management fled to America and went into business here. That experience taught ITT a valuable lesson -- never become dependent upon a single country. Once in America, ITT began an ambitious international push. As a result, twenty years after Cuba had expropriated ITT's orig inal business, ITT had become the single largest corporate conglomerate in the world. ITT consisted of major companies all over the world in businesses ranging from telephone equipment manufacturing to lawn-care products to bakeries. Because the original ITT was knocked off its feet by a criminal government, ITT was forced to break out into a worldwide, heliocentric-like mode. Thus, 20 years later, ITT had outcompeted every other company in the world to become the largest business conglomerate ever.< p> No Longer at the Mercy of Any Bogus-Job Bureaucracy With a worldwide, heliocentric-like push, one's livelihood and one's business is no longer at the mercy of any selfserving, job-justifying government bureaucracy. Not only that, an international business presence is crucial in times of economic downturn, recession, depression. Companies that are not dependent upon a single economy are left in the strongest positions. Recessi ons and depressions vary widely from country to country. Even during the Great Depression of the 1930s, the economies of China and India flourished. Many other economies also did well or were barely affected during the Great Depression. The Independent, International Tycoon When an individual blossoms out into an international mode, he bursts out from under a 3000-year-old myth. He suddenly finds that he does not have to be restri cted within his home country, suffocated within a stagnating job, saddled with a specific set of friends, or even remain stuck in an unfulfilling relationship. Even an hourly wageearner can quit his job, travel overseas, and never come back to his original country if he so desires. By doing that, a person breaks out of grooved-in, life-long routines. Yet, few individuals ever escape that stagnation cage. Few are ever even aware that such a cage exists around them. When a person travels abroad, he or she will find profit niches everywhere just by nosing around -- profit opportunities as varied as lucrative Malaysian trade deals, undervalued penthouses in Buenos Aires, highperforming Asian stocks, underpriced European farmland, and so on. In fact, a person can go into business for
himself abroad much more easily than by staying at home. There are several reasons for this. First, many economies overseas are on a just-born, high-growth side. The American economy, in contrast, is on a mature, low-g rowth side. The U.S. economy has also become one of the most highly-regulated economies in the world. But, more significantly, when a person takes the initiative to pack up and break out of his mentally and physically limited world to instead travel abroad, his entire essence breaks out into a worldwide, heliocentric-like mode. The very nature of breaking out into a worldwide mode pushes an individual into new dimensions of thought and awareness that will open up new opportunities. The Permanent Traveler The break-out-of-your-limiting, one-country mode is quite a profound concept. Aspects of this concept are welldetailed in a book called Permanent Traveler by W. G. Hill of Scope Books, England. Hill explains in Permanent Traveler how even an hourly worker who does not have his own business can break out into an international mode simply by packing up and leaving his native country to live and work abroad. Opport unity naturally begins unfolding before such a person. In several years time, that individual will have undoubtedly advanced far beyond where he would have if he had remained at home in a stagnated, grooved-in routine. Hill points out how people have been raised with a mind set that never realizes that they can simply switch countries. When people do break out of a restricted, one-country mode, they take their lives into their own hands. They progress much further and are much happier. But, by st aying within just one country their entire lives, closed-minded cultures with preconceived notions restrict them. Most do not succeed very far and are seldom really happy in such a restricted environment. Most people will change cities a few times during their lives. But, few people realize that they can and should actually change countries at least once in their lifetimes. When a person does this, a whole new array of lifeenriching experiences and opportunities unfolds. When chan ging countries, all of a sudden a person meets more interesting and meaningful friends in a single year than he or she would meet in a decade back home. He or she will attend more parties and make more friends in a year abroad than ten years at home. He or she will open up more entrepreneurial and investment opportunities in a few years abroad than in a lifetime back home. Unfortunately, most people will never leave their nine-to-five, stuck-in-a-rut jobs. They will die that way. But, those few who do break out and move into a wide-open international mode usually become their own entrepreneurs within a year and become very well-off financially within five years. In contrast, if they stay at home, few will ever break out of a grooved-in, salaried rut. W. G. Hill explains in his book Permanent Traveler how he too was brought up with the preconceived, limiting notion that his life was confined within the boundaries of his country of birth. He simply never thought that one's country of re sidence is a personal option open to change at any time. After many years in an unhappy marriage, Hill finally managed to wake up and seek a divorce. Then he ran into trouble with tax authorities. So, Hill decided to leave the country. When he did, a whole new realm of romantic, business, and personal opportunity opened up before him. He took control of his life and went into an opportunityabounding international mode. Consider people who have been trapped in an unhappy marriage for many years. Traditional beliefs and mental inertia often keep such people in a stifling, unhappy marriage. They simply cannot imagine life beyond their marriage. Then, after many years, something finally happens that forces their marriage to break apart. At first, they are apprehensive, lost, sometimes even devastated. But, eventually, they find that their lives go on, new and
more fulfilling romantic opportunities open up, and they end up in a much happier, more fulfilling relationship. Then, they look back and think, "Why didn't I break out of that unhappy marriage sooner?" Likewise, when a person breaks out of his or her opportunity-restricting country of birth, when he or she breaks out of a grooved-in, limited career, a similar phenomenon happens. "Why didn't I break out sooner," a person often contemplates after pushing out into an international mode. In America, abusive big-brother government is increasing at a frightening rate. Today, America jails a higher percentage of people than any other nation on earth -- even higher than South Africa and the former Soviet Union. In addition, there are now more criminal business regulations in America than in any other country. Americans are regularly jailed for politician-invented crimes and regulations that were not even in existence a few years ago and that are not illegal in any other country. In fact, lawyers openly admit that a person in business today is at any one time breaking several regulations, all of which carry criminal penalt ies. Thus, businessmen as well as middleclass Americans are increasingly ruined and jailed every year by job-justifying bureaucrats in agencies such as the IRS, SEC, EPA, INS, DEA, FDA, and so on. The Government Does Not Own You Most people falsely believe that they are owned by their government. They think that their lives must remain under the control of career-advancing government value-usurpers. They think that they must re main within the selfproclaimed borders of their country of birth. If a person gets into trouble with value-usurpers in or out of government, that person usually thinks that he or she simply must accept whatever happens no matter how unfair or unjust. Most believe they have no other options. Tragically, a trail of devastation weaves across America every year as thousands of businessmen and working people are destroyed by value-usurpers lurking in countless government agencies, the law profession, and the public at large. Most people do not realize that they can and should simply pack up and leave. W. G. Hill gives many examples in his book of people who did not break out of a restricted, single-nation mode. Thus, when they unfairly got entangled with dishonest, deep-pocket lawyers or police-state bureaucracies, they were financially ruined and their businesses destroyed. On the other hand, those few individuals who broke out into a worldwide, heliocentriclike mode, who refused to accept that sel f-proclaimed authorities own them, who decided that they would not remain at the whim of some power-hungry bureaucrat or deep-pocket opportunist, emphatically stated several years later that that was the best thing to ever happen to them. By packing up and changing countries, they discovered more business, social, and romantic opportunities than they would have in a lifetime back home. Do Not Remain in a Rut -- Break Out If a person feels stuck in an unsatisfactory position, if he or she lacks fulfilling opportunity, whether in one's career, social life, or romantic life, that person can and should break out. This is easier than one might think. The key is to make preparations. Establish contacts and assets abroad. This is important to do even if one never gets into trouble with any professional value-destroyer or deep-pocket opportunist. Many successful Europeans already do this. They are prepared to leave their country if conditions become dangerous. Europeans are used to their countries being taken over by totalitarian governments or invaded. Thus, they are much more prepared to pack up and leave than Americans. But, Americans should understand this concept too. A little preparation can save one's life and one's family if a madman were to get elected, or some lunatic let loose nuclear bombs, or a devastating depression take hold. Those who have contacts, assets, and business dealings abroad can simpl y pack up and leave. For those who do not, it is often too late at that point. In an emergency, avenues of escape become clogged and then get cut off.
Eric Savage, during his travels abroad, met many Americans who had moved overseas. All of them had uncovered golden opportunities -- from marble-buyers in Brazil, real-estate buyers in Europe, exotic-flower traders in Costa Rica, office-space speculators in Manila, investors in Asian stock exchanges, partners in Malaysian candy factories, mail-order c ompanies in Hong Kong. On and on stretches the list of opportunities that constantly present themselves to those in a wide-open, international mode. As emphasized in W. G. Hill's book Permanent Traveler, when a person travels abroad and investigates business and investment opportunities, he or she discovers how easy it is to live abroad. Taking vacations in a different country each year is a good starting point. Make it a working vacation. Check out business and investment opportunities as w ell as living conditions. Establish bank accounts and make some small investments in real estate or business to get a feel for things. Make contacts. This is easy and exciting. And it can be very profitable. Most important, it can save your business, your family, and even your life some day. Benjamin Franklin stated that the level of a person's happiness is directly related to the level that he expands his mind. A person's mind and happiness soar as he or she breaks out of a grooved-in, restricted routine and into a worldwide mode. Such an individual discovers opportunity exists everywhere. The South American Experience When Neo-Tech Publishing first expanded into the Spanish-language market, Eric Savage traveled to South America. He made many profitable contacts in Argentina and Chile. After spending several successful days in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Eric flew to Santiago, Chile to continue his trip. As Eric was flying over the magnificent Andes mountains on his way into Chile, he realized how there was a vast infrastructure of business and profit opportunity built by effort-exerting heroes in those far-away countries. Yet, Eric will never know the names of those essence movers. But, by getting out there and tapping those markets, all of that vast infrastructure was being utilized by Eric's own money-making dynamics. That is the magnificence of international business. Unfortunately, most Americans limit themselves by operating only within the U.S. Eric Savage was uncovering great profit opportunities by pushing out into a worldwide, heliocentric-like mode. In stark contrast, Eric then pulled out a local Las Vegas newspaper he had put in his briefcase. The headline article pictured the governor of Nevada basking in self-glory as he dictated to a group of wimpish-looking hospital executives about the tough new regulations he was going to enact upon them. From abroad, Eric looked at that "all-powerful" Nevada go vernor and realized that once outside that governor's self-proclaimed boundaries, that politician became nothing but a powerless stooge. Create Prosperity, Happiness, Life Forward-essence movers in business should always be pushing their value producing dynamics into every nook and cranny worldwide. The pushing of value-producing business into all places -- places like Paraguay, Costa Rica, Papau New Guinea, Malaysia, and so on -- creates prosperity and happiness and allows human life to flourish. A forward-essence-moving businessman has a responsibility to reach for his company's fullest potential. The only way to do that is by pushing out into the global market. That, in turn, is the best way to ensure a business' longrange survival and growth. Businesses that market in more than one country are forced into wide-scope, heliocentric-like thinking. They have to break out of closed-in, single-nation modes. Such wide-scope thinking gives management new, worldly perspectives that are invaluable. What is learned in a tough foreign market comes right back to benefit a business' home operation. Such a business is lifted to increasing levels of competitiveness. Similarly, when an individual pushes out into an international mode, his personal competitiveness increases dramatically. All of a sudden that individual realizes how his previous situation was similar to the little-religious-
town analogy. In a single- nation mode, an individual remains restricted by many stifling, preconceived notions in his culture. When that person breaks out into an international mode, those stifling, preconceived notions previously imposed upon him simply wither away. Such a person will experience a tremendous sense of freedom and excitement as he learns how to generate opportunity and wealth in countries and cultures the world over. **** Part One The first fifteen chapters of this book (Part One) reveal the nitty-gritty, money/power secrets that can empower anyone with the ability to break out into an independent, money-making mode. Part Two Chapters XVI through XIX of this book (Part Two) reveal the specific techniques to then push those independent, money-making dynamics out into a worldwide empire -- capturing unlimited opportunity.

PART ONE HOW TO PRODUCE INCREASINGLY COMPETITIVE VALUES --THE KEY TO BECOMING RICH
Chapter I Forty-Four Wealth-Power Secrets Insta-Act To really succeed, a person must employ Insta-Act -- i.e., he or she must act on whatever needs doing instantly. Everyone has good ideas and important things to do. Unfortunately, people usually put off acting on their ideas or diving into important projects because it requires a lot of mental and physical exertion to get started. "I'll get to it
later, maybe tomorrow, after I take care of a few details on my desk right now," is a typical approach. But that's a killer. Instead, that situation must be reversed. Good ideas and important projects must be acted on right now. ...Instantly! This turns a person into a doer. Insta-Act is what separates those who succeed from those who stagnate and remain unfulfilled. Concentrate You can immediately elevate your power in business by exerting hard concentration. Envision a business goal, then concentrate hard on all the actions you must take to accomplish that goal. The Buzz-Out Syndrome When a person decides to act on a project and begins to concentrate on the problem at hand, after a few minutes his or her mind will begin to go unfocused. The mind will simply buzz out. Such buzzing out, in most cases, will forever stop the completion of that project. The reason the mind buzzes out is because independent, hard thinking is alien to most. The majority of people, for most of their working lives, do not exert independent, hard thinking. They merely show up at work to perform tasks that someone else has devised and set up. Harvey Firestone, founder of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, stated, "There is no limit to the extent a person will go to avoid hard thinking." A person must identify his or her tendency to avoid hard thinking and then turn that situation around. Instead of avoiding hard thinking, one must aggressively dive into hard thinking whenever and wherever he or she sees the opportunity. At first, one's efforts can easily be sabotaged. After just a few minutes of hard thinking, one's mind will have a tendency to become unfocused and then to start buzzing out. But, by being aware of the Buzz-Out Syndrome, a person can turn that situation around. As soon as one feels his mind starting to buzz-out, he can stop, re-focus his concentration, and then push forward with gusto! That will knock buzz-out from one's brain! Identifying the Buzz-Out Syndrome and then knocking it out of your brain actually becomes exciting once you realize what is happening. As soon as you begin to feel a buzz-out sensation, you must recognize how that mental buzzing out is what holds almost everyone down and stagnates them. Buzz-out is a monster that keeps people from achieving great wealth and happiness in life. Ironically, once a person identifies this, it becomes easy to defeat that buzz-out monster. A person can actually feel himself burning away buzz-out -- similar to the way a person exercising can "feel" himself burning away fat cells. The more it "hurts" when exercising, the more motivated a person can feel as he knows he is burning away ugly fat cells. Likewise, when a person's mind starts to buzz out, he can re-group and then push forward ever more intensely as he "feels" himself burning away buzz-out from his brain. With practice, a person's concentration and thinking capacity will increase several-fold. Such a person becomes a powerhouse. Elevate Your Ideas into Commercial Products Good ideas are cheap and easy to come by. By themselves, ideas are not worth that much. The key to becoming a money/power giant is to exert the intense effort needed to elevate an idea into a commercial product. Always struggle to do that. Elevating ideas into commercial products results in the rewards of business and life. In fact, the elevation of ideas into commercial products brings far greater monetary rewards than almost any other activity in life. It is the key to vast wealth.
Act on Reason, Not Emotion A person succeeds in business to the extent he or she overcomes emotion to instead act on reason. Whenever you feel strong emotions, particularly if those emotions are negative feelings towards another person, you should not act on those emotions. Instead, you must exert discipline to overcome such emotions. In business, a person must always think and act via reason. That is the only way to make profitable long-range decisions. Nitty-Gritty Details -- The Source of Business Power The nitty-gritty details of business are the focal point from which all real, earned power is built. Mastering the nitty-gritty details of business requires personal effort and honesty. Managers can have a false belief that they do not need to really dig in to learn and perform the most basic, nittygritty detail work within their companies. An arrogant attitude can develop that one does not have to stoop that low. But, such an attitude underlies the white-collar hoax. (See Mark Hamilton's book Neo-Tech Business Control for a complete discussion of the white-collar hoax.) Moreover, such an attitude stagnates a manager. Getting down and dirty by learning and doing the most basic, nitty-gritty work within a company is crucial for building real, earned power. Break Out of a Following Mode Major success in business can only be achieved by breaking out of a following mode and moving into unmapped areas. This requires independent thought and action. The majority of people report to work and perform preset, already-mapped-out tasks. These tasks were devised and implemented by someone else. Few individuals ever really exert their own independent thought and effort to figure out how to move forward the money-making essence of their company. Yet, the only way to really achieve success is to break out of a following mode at work and into independent thinking and action -- i.e., move into new territory that no one else has mapped out or formatted. By breaking out of a following mode at work, a person must decide on his own what actions he needs to take. He must figure out how to move forward the money-making essence of his company. A person normally starts off in a following mode at work, but as he builds knowledge and experience he can and should start to formulate his own independent thoughts and actions that increase a company's efficiency or build onto its money-making, value-producing essence. A person will know when he is pushing into an independent, integrated-thinking mode because there will not be anyone else around who can tell him what to do.[ 2 ] Only his own thinking and effort can guide him. It is at this stage that a person can really begin to move forward. Ironically, moving into such an independent, forwardessence mode makes a person feel uncomfortable at first.[ 3 ] But, this is a key sign that one is finally breaking out of a following mode. For, after a lifetime of always knowing exactly what to do in a following mode at work, not knowing what to do or who to turn to in an independent, forward-essence mode makes a person feel awkward -even like he or she is goofing off or taking liberties on company time. Such feelings occur precisely because a person is breaking out of a following mode and into an independent, forward-essence mode. Such a person will feel apprehensive because there is no one around who can show him what to do or how to act. No previous format has been designed for him to follow. Instead, he must formulate, through his own independent thinking, the actions he must take to move forward. When Eric Savage first broke into an independent, forward-essence mode at work, this led to his taking a trip to Europe to pursue overseas business. (See Eric Savage's book, How to Build a Global Business Empire.) At first Eric
felt a little guilty. "Gee, here I am flying off to Europe on company time and expense." Eric felt like he was getting away with something. In fact, Eric would have felt more comfortable if he were back in his office and ordered to sweep out a storage closet. But, by going off to Europe, Eric was completely on his own. No one and no pre-set format could instruct him what to do. He had to think and act independently. Eric had to figure out himself, through his own integrated thinking, how to pursue forward-essence movement for his company. A similar phenomenon happened when Eric first began exerting independent thinking to move forward into product development. Eric replicated responsibilities in his inter-national marketing area to another capable manager. This freed up time for Eric to work on product development. Once again, Eric felt awkward. He felt like he was getting away with something, maybe even goofing off a little. For, after a lifetime of working within a tightly regimented schedule, Eric was now driving off to the library in the middle of the day to do research. Eric felt like he should be in his office diligently performing pre-set tasks. Ironically, while Eric at first felt a little guilty about his trips to Europe and about his delegating work responsibilities so that he could go off to research new products, those very actions forced Eric into an independent, forward-essence mode. Once on his own, Eric had to devise new, money-making actions for his company. And, sure enough, Eric's trips to Europe and his working on product development became the very things that pushed both Eric and his company into new, lucrative profits. When a person first breaks out of a following mode at work, he or she will feel apprehensive. But, these are the very dynamics that force a person to think and act on his or her own. And that is the only way to break into new, forward-essence movement. An analogy can be made to a person who has been confined in a prison for many years. As a prisoner, that person had no real independent decisions to make about what he was going to do each day. Thus, when that prisoner is finally released, he feels awkward, even guilty about his new found freedom. He thinks something like, "Gee, am I really allowed to do anything I want?" All of a sudden there is no rigid, pre-set schedule telling him what he can and cannot do. A similar phenomenon happens to workers. Most have been in a rigidly structured following mode all of their working lives. If and when they break out into an indepen-dent, forward-essence mode, they may feel apprehensive, even guilty, about their new found freedom. Yet, those independent actions are the very things that will push a person and his company forward into new realms of growth. This phenomenon can be observed in other areas, too. For example, a television show documented one of the highest paid fiction writers today. She goes off into the countryside each morning to write novels on her lap-top computer. To an outsider, it appears that this lady has a really kick-back, lackadaisical job. But, she is earning more money than almost any other person alive. Indeed, this writer is not "kicking back." What she is actually doing is breaking out of a following mode in her career and into an independent, forward-essence mode. There is no one around in the countryside to tell her what to do or what to work on next. No rules or pre-set formats devised by somebody else exist for that writer to follow. Out there in the country, with her lap-top computer at her side, she must exert her own independent thinking to figure out what to do, what to write, what to produce. That is the reason why she is so successful. When a person breaks out of a following mode, he or she can succeed in a big way. But, this is hard to do. Most people are afraid to exert independent thought and action. **** A final clarification needs to be made at this point. Before a person can push out into an independent mode at work, he or she must first put in the hard, nitty-gritty effort to learn the details of his or her business. A person cannot just waltz into a company and expect to fly off to Europe, or to go to a library to work on product development, or to drive out into the countryside to write novels without first putting in the tough, nitty-gritty
sweat work to learn and master the details and essence of that company. Only then can a person successfully break out of a following mode and into an independent, forward-essence mode. Jump on Costs "I just saved several thousand dollars by writing a two-paragraph letter," exclaimed Mark Hamilton. Mark was referring to a specific charge on a supplier's invoice that seemed too high. After receiving that invoice, Mark wrote a two-paragraph letter asking the supplier to justify that high charge. As a result of Mark's letter, the supplier agreed to reduce that specific charge on all future invoices. This saved Mark's company thousands of dollars over the years. The importance of scrutinizing costs to make sure that they are not too high, to make sure that they are justified, cannot be overstated. Exerting constant cost vigilance can ensure the success of a company. In contrast, a lack of cost vigilance can eventually doom a company. A manager must always scrutinize costs and question any increased or new expense to make sure it is justifiable. Such cost discipline will keep expenses contained. The lack of cost discipline, on the other hand, will allow expenses to eventually spiral out of control. Exerting constant cost discipline will keep a company in red-to-black dynamics and insure its future success. (Chapter XI discusses the red-to-black concept.) The Power of the Business Phone Call: How to Save $13,000 in 20 Minutes A book printer used by Neo-Tech Publishing Company stated that they had to raise prices on their next printing of Neo-Tech booksets. This was during a time of little inflation and a weak economy. So, Neo-Tech's manager asked that printer to justify his price increase. Before doing so, Neo-Tech's manager spent about 10 minutes organizing his thoughts and making notes. He then telephoned that book printer and asked that printer to explain how they could justify a price increase during a time of low inflation and a weak economy. The printer flippantly replied that the price increase was due to an increase in the cost of delivering printed books from the factory to Neo-Tech Publishing Company. But, Neo-Tech's manager stuck to his guns and insisted on delving into the proposed price increase and reviewing each specific cost -- emphasizing again that these were times of low inflation and a recessionary economy. During the process of reviewing specific costs, Neo-Tech's manager brought up how the price of paper had fallen slightly during the recession and how freight prices had not increased during the recession. Thus, the printer was unable to justify his price increase. In addition, by digging into cost details with that printer, Neo-Tech's manager learned that if he used a slightly lighter weight paper to print on, and if Neo-Tech Publishing increased its print order by a few thousand books, $13,000 could be saved on the overall per-book cost. Thus, by exerting cost discipline to not let an arbitrary price increase go unchallenged, Neo-Tech's manager spent a total of 20 minutes (10 minutes clarifying his thoughts and making notes, and 10 minutes on the telephone with the printer reviewing costs), thereby saving Neo-Tech Publishing $13,000. That example demonstrates how cost discipline is one of the most highly leveraged activities in business. Few other activities can make or save as much money in such a short amount of time. The Beauty of Answering to Others Andrew Carnegie, founder of U.S. Steel, stated that the key to his success was that he surrounded himself with hard-working, talented people. Any entrepreneur who desires to build his business into an empire must do the same. For, a single individual cannot build a business empire all by himself. Great empires are built by a founding
entrepreneur who knows how to surround himself with hard-working, integrated thinkers. (See Integrated Thinking: The Essence of Power and Wealth, Chapter V.) That is why it is important to promote integrated thinking in employees. Simply by being aware of integrated thinking and then working to promote integrated thinking in employees, an entrepreneur will sooner or later find himself surrounded by forward-essence movers. And that is the way to build major momentum within a company. Forward-essence-moving personnel are the most highly leveraged assets a business can have. They multiply a business' power many times over. The beauty of bringing into a company integrated-thinking, forward-essence movers is that a freight-train-like momentum begins building. And all workers, including the founding entrepreneur, must begin answering to that momen-tum. Thus, everyone's intensity level and responsibility level is pushed up. For example, if a person is in charge of getting a job completed within a certain time, he or she can no longer come back and say, "I didn't complete this job because such and such happened which prevented me from finishing on time." If not getting a specific job completed on time is going to hold up another worker's job, which in turn will hold up the job of still another worker, which in turn holds up the entire company, excuses become unacceptable. Consequently, great pressure builds on everyone within a company to become dynamic and to get things done, no excuses. The alternative is to risk derailing everyone else. Under such circumstances, individuals become enormously dynamic. The Shoe Concept One of the first places a person glances at upon meeting another individual is downward at the feet. Thus, a person with well-kept, shined shoes can make a good first impression. Well-kept, freshly shined shoes reflect awareness and care. These are two important traits in business. Simply by being aware of one's shoes, keeping them well-kept and shined, a person can leverage his business power. That is why business districts usually contain many shoe-shine stands. Being aware of how one dresses in business is even more important. Business evolves toward rationality. That is why the business suit has evolved. For, the business suit reflects awareness, care, and efficiency. A person wearing a business suit will find that others take him much more seriously. A business suit can increases a person's power and effectiveness considerably. Integrate Your Life with Your Work All successful people integrate their lives with their work. A person will never succeed far in business by working only a 40-hour week. To move forward, a person must put in a minimum of 60 hours per week. (Forty hours of detail, responsibility-handling work, 20 hours of creative, forward-moving work.) This is not difficult to do once a person integrates his life with his work. Work actually becomes exciting and joyous. For, the person who integrates his life with productive work has purpose, energy, and is seldom bored. That person has a profound sense of moving forward and growing. Life for that person becomes exciting and fun. The person who integrates his life with his work is bound to succeed. That is the nature of life, growth, and success. Smash the Myth of Business Greed Traditional culture attempts to link business with greed. But that simply is not so. Real, forward-moving business is just the opposite. It is the constant struggle to bring down costs and decrease prices. That leads to greater market share, increased sales, and the largest possible long-term profits.
Likewise, any properly run business does not try to get away with paying employees as little as possible. The opposite is true. The goal of any forward-moving business is to have its employees make as much money as possible. Every dollar an employee earns means that that employee has profited his company several more dollars in return. Thus, if an employee makes a lot of money, it means his or her company is making even more money. That is the beauty of business! The Danger of To-Do Files "Never allow an item to cross your desk more than once," states Frank R. Wallace. In other words, never file an item away to be acted upon at a later date. Do not use to-do files. Instead, act on each item that crosses your desk right then and there. Not doing so results in increasing inefficiency. For, a person is going to have to act on each item that crosses his or her desk anyway. By putting an item aside to do later, that item sits without getting acted upon. Then, when that item is pulled out at a later date, a person has to reintegrate with that item for a second time. Time is unnecessarily consumed and efficiency is lost. In addition, whenever something is put aside instead of being acted upon immediately, the risk of that item getting misplaced or lost greatly increases. The habit of putting items aside to be acted upon later can stagnate a person. The only exception to acting upon items immediately is when a person has an efficient system where similar items are filed into groups to be acted upon all at once during a specific, pre-set time period. For example, a phone call that needs to be made can be placed in a specific phone-call period. Similarly, a letter that needs to be written can be placed in a specific letter-writing period. A meeting that needs to be held can be placed in a specific meeting period, and so on. The bottom line is that all items that cross a person's desk should be handled right then and there. Items should not cross one's desk twice. Items should never be put away into some to-do file to be acted upon at a nebulous future time. Business-Like Thinking vs. Mysticism Business-like thinking means thinking and acting objectively. It is the opposite of mysticism. Mysticism occurs whenever a person acts on feelings and wishes. Mysticism is prevalent in many people, and it always creates problems in business. In fact, mysticism is synonymous with creating problems where none exist. When a person acts on feelings and wishes rather than on logic and objectivity, sooner or later that person's mysticism will collide with reality and create problems. In business, a person acting on mysticism stands out because problems keep arising around that person. For example, a certain employee will be working in an area and everything will run just fine. That employee will get his or her job done with out any problems. Then, when that employee leaves or is transferred, a new person is brought into that exact same job. Suddenly, that new person kicks up all kinds of problems. He or she complains and protests about various procedures and responsibilities. In addition, all kinds of problems begin arising between that person and other workers, managers, even customers. That is a red flag of mysticism. Such a worker is creating problems where none exist. He or she is a mystical interloper and should be removed. Mysticism (creating problems where none exist) does not mix with business (solving problems where they do exist). Mysticism will poison a business and its personnel. Mysticism must be relentlessly removed like a cancer.
Huffiness Results in Camouflaged Failure Huffiness. One sees it all around in business. So just what is huffiness? Why do people become huffy in the work place? Consider the following example: Eric Savage had gone overseas for three months on business. When he returned to his office, he found management and employees had let their intensity slip. Projects were taking too long to complete. Split responsibilities had developed -- i.e., two or more people were handling the same responsibilities. No real effort was being exerted to move forward and generate new business. Everyone was just performing routine, already-established business. So, Eric began making changes in personnel and the company structure to assure long-term survival and growth. He reorganized management so that managers were forced to go out and build new business, not just sit back and lackadaisically take care of business already established. Eric increased worker efficiency. As a result, Eric ran into a barrage of huffiness, from hourly workers to top managers alike. It was the same kind of huffiness one sees every day in business. But, it was so concentrated and so much all at once that Eric was forced to confront that company-wide huffiness and eliminate it. Otherwise, Neo-Tech Publishing would stagnate and decline. The concentrated dose of huffiness Eric encountered forced him to break huffiness down to its root cause. What became obvious to Eric as he attempted to shape up his business and get it back on track, i.e., moving forward, was that huffiness in business always traces back to mental laziness against change, efficiency, and growth. Huffiness is a person's resistance against exerting integrated effort to move forward and create new and increasing values. Such huffiness is a natural tendency in anyone not integrated with a company's forward-moving essence. So, Eric had to reintegrate workers with Neo-Tech Publishing's value-producing essence. What Eric found was that workers who were not exerting forward-essence movement got huffy whenever their jobs were reorganized in order to make them exert forward-essence movement. (See Chapter V for a more complete discussion of forward-essence movement.) Of course, doing forward-essence movement is the lifeblood of a company and is crucial to its long-term survival. Eric also discovered that workers who naturally exert a lot of physical energy, workers who naturally hustle, very rarely become huffy. They accept change without complaints. Those high-energy individuals focus on pursuing their new responsibilities. In contrast, workers who do not hustle, who work at low intensity, almost always get huffy when forced to become more efficient and pursue forward-essence movement. Those low-intensity workers throw up a wall of huffiness against change, against efficiency, against forward movement. A manager must confront and overcome such huffiness. Forward-Essence Movement -The Key to Fulfilling Man's Destiny Business provides the opportunity to fulfill man's destiny as a conscious being -- i.e., to continually build upon a value-producing essence, thereby moving a person forward mentally and physically. The purpose of business is not to merely maintain value-producing dynamics already established by others. The purpose of business is to constantly move forward and produce new values. Building upon the value-producing essence of a business is what allows a person to fulfill his or her destiny as a conscious being. For, to move forward and build upon a value-producing essence requires the fullest ability of a human being -- both mentally and physically. Moving forward a business' value-producing essence requires hard thinking, action, integrated effort, honesty -- every
essential virtue of a conscious being. Thus, forward-moving business represents the essence of life. It leads to the fulfillment of man's destiny. If a person is not moving forward on his value-producing essence, then that person is moving towards death. In contrast, a person who is moving forward on his productive essence experiences life at its fullest. Such a person is rewarded with growing competence, achievement, self-esteem, and happiness. Be Fair to Business No matter how small or large a company is, that company can always be reduced down to a single individual. A business is not an entity unto itself. A business always reduces down to individuals attempting to produce values and voluntarily trade those values with others. When a person recognizes this, he or she will realize how unfair most attacks upon businesses by workers, consumers, the media, regulators, and so on, are. For, when a business is reduced down to a single individual merely attempting to produce values and voluntarily trade them, it becomes clear how often that value-producing individual is being unfairly criticized, attacked, and taken advantage of by others. A person who recognizes this fact and treats a business, no matter how large, with the same fairness he would another individual is acting in accord with reality. By struggling to be fair to business an individual will be well rewarded in the long run. For, opportunities in business naturally flow towards those who treat business fairly. In contrast, those who seek unearned power, self-esteem boasts, or monetary gains by unfairly attacking a business cut off their future. Opportunity naturally closes off to those who seek to take advantage of others. A person must guard against accepting criticisms so often promoted by people against business out of envy or greed. Business is the act of value creation. Business is the source from which all life-supporting values and opportunity spring. Those who seek short-term psychological or monetary advantages by unfairly criticizing or attacking a business eventually cut themselves off from real, future opportunity in the most important area of life. In contrast, the person who always strives to be fair to business, to always be a value to business, will increasingly have life's most important opportunities turned his or her way. Business dynamics naturally seek out those who are fair and strive to make themselves a value. Become a Business Giant Opportunity is inherent in business. But, each person must exert his or her own independent effort to capitalize on that opportunity. In fact, to effectively capitalize on the enormous opportunity inherent in all business, a person must integrate his life with his work. That is the only way to really initiate integrated thinking and forwardessence movement. The individual who does this will find himself becoming more and more dynamic. Most people do not explicitly understand the nature of business -- including many top business executives. Business is the mechanism for the individual to develop unlimited potential. Business is what allows a person to integrate his life with productive work and consequently evolve into a tremendously powerful, forward-moving individual capable of delivering major values to society. A Class-Act Company By staying on top of just a few key details, almost any business can be converted into a class-act company. Most managers, if they really think about it, can list within a single sheet of paper items that, if carried out, would turn their company into a real class-act operation. Thus, the key to achieving a class-act company is to write down that list of class-act items. Next, employees should be called in for a meeting, read that list, and then told, "Just do it!"
To accomplish that list of class-act items, employees must realize how even the most minor requests from management need rapid action. That is the only way to complete all of the items on a company's class-act list. Follow-through is a key. A company's momentum can be broken by a single person not following through immediately on even a minor verbal request from management. The need for quick responses to requests from management must be explained to employees in no uncertain terms. In order to get such cooperation from employees, it must be explained to all workers how the managers above them, by the nature of their positions, are working off wider integrations than they are. That is why immediate follow-through on even the most minor request is important. For, having every request completed is crucial to the wider, forward-moving integrations of management. If managers and workers can do that, then in two months or less, almost any business can be transformed into a first-rate, class-act operation. That rise into a class-act operation will propel forward everyone within that company. New vistas of opportunity will open up for that company and its employees. Integrate with the Numbers To really succeed in business, a person must integrate with the marketing numbers and the accounting numbers of his or her company. The marketing and accounting numbers reveal where inefficiencies lie, where new opportunities lie, how to structure things. Such numbers reveal what needs to be done to succeed. Nothing allows a person to master control of a business more effectively than integrating with that business' marketing and accounting numbers. The problem is that a lot of people in business attempt to remember marketing and accounting numbers. Instead, they should integrate with the story that those numbers are revealing. A person who attempts to memorize numbers won't be able to continue moving forward to increasingly higher levels of integration. An analogy can be made to upper math -- a person can't get away with merely memorizing numbers in upper math; he or she must integrate with the mathematical processes in order to understand what is going on. Integration means understanding and digesting a process, not memorizing specific facts and figures. By integrating business numbers, in contrast to memorizing those numbers, a person will not reach a mental limit. Each new level of knowledge can be integrated with previous levels of knowledge. Forward movement can continue indefinitely. Never Throw Away Your Power Roger Dawson, author of Power Negotiating, identified how many people in business throw away their power. In contrast, Dawson urges individuals to focus on upgrading their business power. Power in business is a very effective tool. By being aware of power and working to upgrade it, others will perceive a person and his or her company as a class act. Thus, a manager should hold meetings with all employees and constantly remind them not to throw away their power. Just by being aware of power -- exhibiting a serious, concerned manner -- a person can immediately enhance his own power and his company's power. This is especially true over the telephone where clients may never see the person or the company with whom they are dealing. An individual should always act with class while on the phone. Be formal. This gives a person and his company instant respect. No more effort is required than just being conscientious about upgrading one's power. An additional point concerning power is the need to get rid of personnel with bad attitudes. Such workers destroy a company's power with their bad attitudes. They infect, sour, and prevent other employees from acting with
class. Instead of enhancing their own power and their company's power, such bad apples decrease everyone's power. The Secretary Test A secretary handles the most basic organizational work within an office. A secretary's work is very earthy work. As a result, secretaries are usually quite productive and seldom have haughty attitudes. Secretaries perform the tasks that make their companies run. They are integrated with the very essence of their companies. Eric Savage discovered that he could replace many managers in his company with secretaries and that the secretaries would get more work done. Thus, Eric devised an important tool for maintaining efficiency while keeping out the white-collar hoax in management. (See Mark Hamilton's Neo-Tech Business Control for a complete discussion of the white-collar hoax.) That tool is The Secretary Test -- i.e., to be hired as a manager, an executive must be more productive than a secretary would be in that same position. Similarly, The Secretary Test can be used to evaluate current managers to see if they are exerting integrated thinking and forward-essence movement. Ask oneself if a secretary would get more work done in a specific position than a current high-paid, haughty manager. If the answer is yes, replace that manager with either a hustling secretary or a forwardessence-moving manager. Only by exerting integrated thinking and forward-essence movement can a manager outcompete an efficient, highpaced secretary. For, an efficient secretary, who by the nature of her work lacks a haughty attitude or a "that work is not my responsibility" attitude, can often complete actions and paperwork within a single hour that will take a white-collar-hoax manager all day to complete. Many companies would become much more productive simply by replacing a good chunk of their managers with efficient, high-paced secretaries. Increase Intensity A person can dramatically increase his productivity by increasing his intensity. A good starting point is to begin walking faster at work. People with high intensity usually walk fast. A manager should continuously remind employees about the importance of working with intensity. From janitors to the highest executives, the productive effect of increasing one's intensity cannot be overstated. An individual who works at high intensity can increase his or her productivity not just incrementally, but can increase his or her productivity by two-fold, five-fold, even ten-fold. Increasing intensity is simply a matter of being aware of intensity and then working to increase it -- both physically and mentally. A short story written over 50 years ago titled Calumet K portrayed the power of intensity. In that story, a grain elevator had to be built in record time or else the wheat market would be cornered by speculators. Many commodity-dependent businesses would go bankrupt as a result. Yet, the workers at this grain elevator site were behind schedule. They were slogging around without intensity. Then, an ace manager was brought to that construction site. His name was Charlie Bannon. Bannon worked with enormous personal intensity. And he integrated his workers with the need for intensity as well. Within one week, everyone at that construction site no longer walked. They simply ran to wherever they needed to go. As a result of the great intensity exerted by Charlie Bannon and his workers, the Calumet K grain elevator was built in record time. Speculators failed to corner the wheat market. The Calumet K story exemplified the power of intensity in the workplace. Without any other variable other than being aware of intensity and determining to exert high intensity, an individual, as well as an entire company, can turn into an unstoppable dynamo.
Mistakes -- A Key Growth The first time a person tries out a new idea, a new marketing approach, a new product, or even a new business, he or she will almost invariably fail. This is because whenever a person attempts to create a new value, unforeseen, disruptive variables occur as soon as that new value is injected into the competitive marketplace. When studying the history of America's greatest entrepreneurs, in most cases each great entrepreneur got extremely excited about an idea or an invention, only to have it fail the first time out into the marketplace. But, in each such case, the entrepreneur studied that situation to learn what caused the failure, corrected mistakes, and then pushed forward. In fact, an underlying trait of all successful entrepreneurs is that they achieved success via learning from their mistakes. They did not achieve success via an initial "great idea." Most individuals, at some point in time, come up with "great ideas." They get all excited about their ideas and envision success. But, when they first inject their ideas into the real world, they usually fail. The key is to understand that a person must work through the practical problems that the competitive marketplace throws up against new ideas. It is almost impossible for a new idea to work completely right the first time it is injected into the real-world marketplace. People naturally become disappointed and demoralized when their new ideas don't work. But, it is at this point that a person must say, "I now have the rare opportunity to uncover my mistakes and correct them." That is the beauty of the marketplace. It allows people to uncover their mistakes and correct them. In other areas of life, such a mechanism seldom exists to reveal a person's mistakes. Outside of business, people can go through their entire lives making the same mistakes over and over again. Those mistakes can cost them dearly -- financially and emotionally. And they may never uncover those mistakes or uncover them only after many years. Mistakes in business, on the other hand, can be positive events. Business mistakes make themselves obvious via their bottom-line results. A person then has the opportunity to roll up his sleeves and correct those mistakes. He can then go on to succeed. Outside of business, people do not have the opportunity to so clearly identify their mistakes and get rid of them. That is why those who exert consistent effort and persistency in business succeed so handsomely over time. The Danger of Television -- A Momentum Snapper When working at home in the evening or on the weekend, beware of television. TV programs are designed to grab a person's attention. That, in turn, can snap one's momentum for the rest of the evening or weekend. Mark Hamilton commented, "I have found that if I turn on the TV after dinner to catch the news, but then take a quick flick around the stations, quite often I find myself getting sucked into a one-hour program or more. That really snaps my momentum for the rest of the evening." The essence of television, from programs to commercials, is to capture peoples' attention. The individual viewer is up against some of the best minds in the country. Remember, the businessmen devising those shows put all of their dynamic ability into figuring out how to suck in viewers. In other words, dynamic tycoons like Ted Turner are working feverishly to suck you into their television programs. That's pretty tough competition to go up against. And if the viewer loses, getting sucked into a program, his work momentum will be snapped! "I'll wager that the dynamic minds behind those television shows don't spend their evenings watching TV!" exclaimed Mark Hamilton.
Remember to Think Remember to stop and think. Think about what you are doing. Think about your work. Think about your career. Do this on a consistent basis. Collect the Joy of Life It is important to collect the joy of life. Productive people often feel pressured to get things done and deadlines met. But, it is also important to reflect upon the value of your life and the productive effort you are exerting. When you are exerting integrated thinking and forward-essence movement, you are truly experiencing life. You are building great power. Your actions are putting into motion many productive events and are turning out great values for society. Feel this. Taste the excitement. Experience life. Become Increasingly Dynamic If a person desires success, that person must continually expand his or her responsibilities whenever and wherever the opportunity presents itself. That, in turn, will force one to become increasingly dynamic. If a person can make himself just 30% more dynamic, he will catapult himself forward. The struggle to become increasingly dynamic in order to take on increasing responsibility at work is the essence of success. The alternative is to reach one's limit and then stagnate. Offensive Thinking Go on the offense with your thinking. Identify what you need in business, then employ offensive thinking to get it. Offensive thinking will push you out of a following mode and into a forward-essence mode. The following anecdote exemplifies the use of offensive thinking: Eric Savage needed Neo-Tech's typesetting manager, Mike, to get a hold of foreign-language typesetting programs so that foreign-language material could be typeset. Eric was abroad at the time, so he asked Mike during a phone conversation to track down foreign-language typesetting programs that could be run on Neo-Tech's Macintosh computers. Well, several weeks went by. Each time Eric inquired about the foreign-language programs, Mike stated how he was still waiting for some computer store manager to get back to him. After three months had passed, Eric finally told Mike that he had to get those programs within one week. Several foreign-language projects were waiting to be typeset and could not be held up any longer. Mike then complained to Eric that he had called all the Apple computer stores in town. The only response Mike got was that the store manager would ask someone at the Apple distribution center about foreign-language programs and then that store manager would get back in touch with Mike. But no one was following up. "How do I get someone fired up to follow through on this for me?" Mike asked Eric. Eric told Mike that he understood his frustration. Eric then explained to Mike that to succeed in business, a person cannot wait around for others to do things for oneself. "So few people employ integrated thinking; so few people are forward-essence movers. You cannot depend upon other people to get things done for you in business. You must instead aggressively think out alternative actions that you can take on your own to get what you need," Eric explained. "In other words," Eric told Mike, "you must go on the offense. You must aggressively put control of a business situation into your own hands. You must get what you need yourself." In Mike's particular case, he must determine in his own mind that he is going to get what he needs right now. How is he going to do that? "Go on the offense," Eric explained. "Start by calling Apple Computer's headquarters in California. If you don't get the information you
need during that phone call, then demand the phone number to their European headquarters. Apple's European headquarters would have to know of foreign-language programs designed for their Macintosh computers. You should be able to at least get the name of a software company in a foreign country that makes programs for the Mac in their own language. You can then call that overseas software company and arrange to order their foreignlanguage programs by express mail." The next day Mike faxed Eric a note stating that within one-half hour of going on the offense, he tracked down every single foreign-language program he needed. The power of employing offensive thinking to get what you need right now, instead of relying on someone else to get what you need, cannot be overstated. Eric explained at a subsequent company meeting how excited he was to see Mike move into offensive thinking. Mike accomplished in one-half hour of offensive thinking what would have otherwise taken weeks to accomplish. Offensive thinking is what pushes a person into the league of forward-essence movers and dynamic entrepreneurs -- people who make things happen. The alternative is to wait around for others to make things happen for oneself. Such an approach will never lead to success. Present the Widest, Most In-Context Picture to Others Always strive to keep personal feelings out of business. Use discipline not to hedge on what the facts are. Whether making decisions about buying new equipment or dealing with problem personnel, it is important to present the widest, most in-context picture to others. That is the only way for correct long-range decisions to be made. In contrast, if a person hedges on a situation in order to present things according to his or her desires, that person begins cutting off future growth. For example, suppose a decision needs to be made about purchasing computer equipment. There may be certain equipment that a person who works with computers may personally desire. But, that person must struggle to present the full picture to others involved in making decisions about what equipment to buy. He or she must make sure all of the facts are clear to management. A person should never keep information from those involved in making decisions because he or she personally wants a particular piece of equipment. This can manifest itself in subtle forms, such as not giving proper emphasis on alternative solutions or substitute pieces of equipment. This is especially important for those who work in technical areas, such as computers. For, a worker may know more about that area than the managers above him who must make final decisions. Those managers are relying on that worker for accurate, in-context information. Presenting an accurate, in-context picture to others is also very important if a problem with another worker arises, if one is reporting back to management on a trip he or she took, or if one is describing a meeting he or she took part in. A person must always strive to give the most accurate assessment of a situation he or she can. A person must guard against reporting situations in a slanted way in order to satisfy personal feelings or desires. The "Do-Everything" Approach A key to success is to overload oneself with work. This forces a person to become increasingly dynamic. Most people can think of, at any one time, several important projects that should be moved on. Traditional thinking leads individuals to think that they cannot possibly work on all of those projects at once. Most peoples' schedules already seem stretched to their limits. Thus, a person usually chooses one or two new projects to work on and puts the rest on hold. In reality, a person needs to do the opposite. One's attitude should be, "What the heck, I'll
take them all on!" This forces a person to become dynamic. And it is this kind of pressure that pushes a person out of stagnation. Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford, and other business giants did not say "Oh, I'm too busy to work on that area of business; I can only work on this area for now." No, those business giants moved forward on everything that needed doing in their businesses -- everything. That's how they built empires. You, too, can employ a "Do-Everything" approach. Anything and everything that needs to be done in your business -- just do it. Do it regardless of current schedules or responsibilities. Integrate with Management Directives Whenever a worker receives a directive from a manager above him, he should exert effort to integrate the full meaning behind that directive. One should try to understand where that directive is coming from and how that directive integrates with the company and its essence. A person should use such opportunities to gain new insights about the business for which he works. One should realize that the managers above him naturally have a wider perspective of the company and its essence than he does. Management is responsible for keeping a company's essence moving forward. By struggling to understand where a manager's directive is coming from, a person will gain a wider perspective. Such a person will begin to integrate with his or her company's money-making essence. Integrating with the directives and suggestions from managers above oneself is an important business tool. For, a manager knows when someone he or she is talking to is integrating with what is being said. Subordinates who do not integrate with what is being told them are like brick walls. A manager knows what he is saying is not being integrated and, therefore, his directives or suggestions are not really going to get carried out. That manager knows that he must keep following up and applying pressure to get his directives implemented. That contrasts to a person who takes the time and effort to integrate with what a manager is saying to him and why that manager is saying it. A manager knows when a subordinate is understanding and integrating what is being said. That manager also knows that his directives or suggestions are going to get implemented by that worker. Such an integrating worker comes to be known by management as someone who gets things done. Such a worker will be rewarded with increasing opportunity. Increase Your Business Power by Establishing Controls Business power starts with controls -- controls over the numbers and procedures of a business. Such controls allow a manager to effectively monitor all of the crucial movements within his company. To devise and implement such controls, a person must focus his or her brain and exert hard concentration. Mark Hamilton, for example, set up strict controls with a fulfillment company that Neo-Tech Publishing had contracted to process and fulfill book orders. The controls Mark devised were not complex, but they arose out of nothing. Mark had to exert deep concentration to devise and implement those controls so that he could follow the status of order processing and banking procedures each day. Only in this way could he immediately know if anything was missing, behind schedule, or processed incorrectly -- all of which are frequent problems in a mailorder business. A forward-essence-moving manager must establish controls over procedures, marketing numbers, and accounting in order to successfully control his business and to move forward. A manager must concentrate really hard to develop controls over procedures and numbers so that nothing can go wrong without his immediately knowing about it. He must be able to track every procedure and quickly tell if something is wrong. He can then
swoop down and fix a problem before it causes everything else in his company to fall behind, out of control, and then become hopelessly screwed up. For, that is what happens without controls. If a problem is not quickly spotted and resolved, it will spread to other areas. As a problem spreads, it becomes increasingly difficult to figure out where the originating cause lies. Correcting that problem can then become a nightmare. A manager in control of his company can grow and succeed. A manager not in control of his company will spend all of his time putting out fires as they arise. Act with Airline-Mechanic-Like Precision It is important to really think about what you are doing at work. Keep in mind the difference between an auto mechanic and an airline mechanic. An auto mechanic can lackadaisically lean against things, accidentally drop a wrench while stopping to have a smoke, and so on. In contrast, an airline mechanic must maintain total alertness while working. He cannot carelessly drop a bolt into an engine, while lackadaisically eating a snack. He cannot clumsily bump into things or knock things over. An airline mechanic must act with perfection. He cannot afford any screw-ups. The smallest act of carelessness can have devastating consequences. The analogy of an airline mechanic is a good perspective to have at work. A person should attempt to practice a similar degree of awareness at work -- all the way down to the smallest items concerning safety, computers, records, accounting, customer orders, and so on. For, these are areas where a minor act of carelessness can cause great havoc and chew up a lot of peoples' time. A careless error can crash a computer system, or cause a customer's record to be lost, or mess up a filing system, and so on. Be aware of what you are doing at work. This becomes a habit with practice. Some workers are highly aware of what they are doing, while others are not. One should always think about what is going on. He or she should think ahead and think about how to avoid careless mistakes. Consider the following example: an order processor at Neo-Tech Publishing was typing customer orders into a computer. To more easily reach each order, this processor pulled over to her side a wastebasket and then balanced those orders on the corner of that wastebasket. If she had been called away from her computer and someone else happened to brush against that wastebasket, all of those orders would have fallen inside that wastebasket and could have been thrown out. No one would have ever known what happened to those orders. That situation was a clear example of not thinking, of not acting with airline-mechanic-like carefulness. A endless array of similar examples occur every day in all sorts of different work activities. But, by struggling to exert the awareness of an airline mechanic, a person can prevent a lot of careless mistakes. Every worker should strive to develop an airline-mechanic-like attitude. A worker should strive to eliminate sloppy or careless actions. That is necessary to succeed in an increasingly competitive world. The Link Between Sweeping the Basement and Becoming CEO The nitty-gritty sweat work of a company is a direct link to that company's essence. That is why a person must understand and integrate with the most nitty-gritty, grind-out work within his or her company. Only by firmly understanding the basic foundation work within a company can a person truly integrate with and then move forward a company's essence. Consider, for example, the incredibly successful entre-preneur Walter Chrysler. Chrysler emotionally integrated with the most basic detail work within his company. He understood that such work is at the driving core of all business. Chrysler had an utter joy for getting down and dirty in the nitty-gritty work of his company. He started
his career sweeping the floor at a Union Pacific railroad machine shop. He then became a mechanic at Union Pacific and eventually founded Chrysler Corporation. Later, when Walter Chrysler built the Chrysler Building in New York City (the world's tallest building at the time), he learned all of the nitty-gritty details about running that skyscraper. He started by sweeping out the basement of that Chrysler building and learning every detail in that basement -- the building's structural foundation, its plumbing, its heating, and so on. Chrysler then meticulously labored his way up that building until he was on the roof learning all the details about that building's top. Later, when Chrysler's son came into the business, he started work as a janitor in the basement of that same Chrysler building. Chrysler's son had to learn all of the nitty-gritty details of that building and its management. He literally worked his way up the building, just as his father had done. As a result, Chrysler's son became a very successful and able manager. Mastering the nitty-gritty, grind-out details of a business is the only way to build genuine power and is the only way to move a business forward. In contrast, the children of other successful entrepreneurs often fail to exert the discipline to get down and dirty in the most nitty-gritty, grind-out details of their fathers' businesses. As a result, they never acquire real, earned power. They usually end up riding the essences that their fathers built and become a net drain on their companies. Both Walter Chrysler and his son started their careers by performing the nitty-gritty details of business. Another person may start his career higher up in a company, but such a person will almost always have less long-range potential. Only by starting at the very bottom of a business and mastering its every working detail can a person completely understand and integrate with the essence of that business. By doing that, a person can then master each successive level and successfully delegate those details to others as he or she moves up. Such a person can competently manage all those under him. He has already performed that work himself. Eventually, that person is able to literally run every operation within his company. That is what occurred with the DuPont family. The DuPont family was large, and management positions were competitive. Only those who started in the gun powder mills moved up to eventually take over the company. Such nitty-gritty individuals built tremendous strength by mastering the details of their business. DuPont family members did not just waltz into their company in top management jobs. That would have initiated the white-collar hoax. They would have drained their company's essence rather than build onto that essence. Instead, DuPont family members had to integrate their way to the top. That is why DuPont became the world's largest, most successful corporation, until the government broke it up via antitrust regulations. By starting at the bottom of a company, learning about and integrating its most basic, nitty-gritty details, a person can map out a direct route to the top. By integrating with the most basic details of a business and then exerting integrated thinking and forward-essence movement, a person gains genuine, earned power. He or she becomes the person best equipped to carry forward and build upon that company's essence. A dramatic competitive edge accrues to that individual. Digging into the nitty-gritty details and doing the sweat work of a company contrasts with a more traditional, less successful approach of waiting around to get a break -- waiting around to finally be designated a manager of some area. That leads to dependence upon others and stagnation in the competitive business world. The success approach is to say, "When do I get the opportunity to get down and dirty in the nitty-gritty detail work of this company? I want to learn about and integrate with the very essence of this company." That is the ticket to the CEO's chair.
Defensiveness Destroys Business Defensiveness is mysticism -- i.e., irrationality. It is also a form of emotional self-indulgence. Since a person in a defensive mode is not acting rationally, the only way to deal with such a person is to simply walk away. But, in business, a person cannot just walk away from a worker who is being defensive. Other workers and the business itself are depending upon that worker handling his or her responsibilities properly. That is why defensiveness is so destructive in business. Ironically, the way to handle defensiveness in business is to forget about all of the facts concerning the situation and instead focus on the point. A manager should say to a defensive employee something like, "O.K., what is your problem here? It's not the specific facts, those are obviously superfluous issues. Something else is bothering you. So let's hear what's causing your problem." The problem is whatever is causing that person's defensive attitude -not the specific facts of a situation. Defensiveness must be focused on and eliminated when-ever and wherever it occurs in business. Otherwise, it acts as an extremely destructive cancer seed. One individual's defensiveness can affect the work of many others in a company. Defensive attitudes can derail a company's forward momentum. Do What You Don't Feel Like Doing All of the success and prosperity that a person has achieved in life usually came from doing what that person initially didn't feel like doing. In business, you have to do what you don't feel like doing. That usually means digging into nitty-gritty details, doing integrated thinking, and exerting forward-essence movement. Whenever you don't feel like doing a particular task in business, whenever you find yourself putting something off to do later, reverse that situation. Instead, aggressively dive into such tasks. Those who dive into tasks they don't feel like doing will push forward and succeed. They simply outcompete everyone else. The Value of Ideas from Integrated Businessmen Versus Ideas from Unintegrated Individuals Ideas have little value in themselves. To be of any value, an idea must be brought through a series of valueelevation steps. (See the "Values" article by Frank R. Wallace in The Neo-Tech Discovery). First, an idea must be developed into a workable, comprehensive concept. Then, a prototype must be developed; then the actual product must be developed and its manufacturing mechanism set up. All of the powerful integrations required for that product to be competitive must then be developed and implemented. All the right low-cost figures must be achiev
