Knowledge III Flashcards
Superior Man V
Woman will always distract you. This is their role.
Feminine energy isnt that great at masculine tasks, so dont expect it to be. Woman you cooperate the best with in life tend to be woman you dont really burn for sexually.
Would sex with multiple women or would relationships serve your purpose better
A woman doesn’t want a man who gives up his career/passions for her. She wants to know that the man will go on. If you go after a woman who doesnt want you and move your core toward her, shell move away from you. You have no core. You have no purpose.
Your track record in the past means nothing. Actions and words must be align right now.
When you make a mistake. Apologize. Move on. Dont collapse in your weakness. Focus on NOW. Dont talk about your problems unless you’re trying to help yourself. It doesn’t help her. She’s not your therapist.
She recives love through energy, not through ‘action steps’
Egypt | Debt 5000
Didn’t have interest nearing debts for most of it’s history.
Money arose as a means of account. Very rich and self contained and centralized.
Mutual aid between neighbors was very common. Debt slaves was not common at all.there wasn’t any interest.no evidence debt reached crisis proportions like Mesopotamia.The debtor could be taken to court and was beaten if he didnt pay. He had to promise to pay by a specific date.
720 - 715 BC Bakenranef - He felt it was absurd for solider to be hauled away to debt prison when he is about to fight for his country. There is more evidence for markets but not much. By the time of the ptolomys amnesties had been instituted.
Slavery in ancient Egypt was established in the New Kingdom (1550-1175 BCE). Discussions of slavery in Pharaonic Egypt are hindered by the complicated terminology used by the Egyptians to refer to different classes of people with limited freedom; these terms also changed in meaning over the course of dynastic history. Interpretation of the textual evidence of slaves in ancient Egypt is indistinct and has been difficult to differentiate between “servant” and “slave” by word usage alone.[1] There were three types of enslavement in Ancient Egypt: chattel slavery, bonded labor, and forced labor.
Ancient Egypt was a peasant-based economy and it was not until the Greco-Roman period that slavery became a greater impact. Slave dealing in Ancient Egypt was done through private dealers and not through a public market. The transaction had to be performed before a local council or officials with a document containing clauses that were used in other valuable sales.
Many slaves who worked for temple estates lived under punitive conditions, but on average the Ancient Egyptian slave led a life similar to a serf. They were capable of negotiating transactions and owning personal property. Chattel and debt slaves were given food but probably not given wages.Masters were forbidden to force child slaves to harsh physical labor.
There is a consensus among Egyptologists that the Great Pyramids were not built by slaves. Rather, it was peasants who built the pyramids during flooding, when they could not work in their lands
Several departments in the Ancient Egyptian government were able to draft workers from the general population to work for the state with a corvée labor system. The laborers were conscripted for projects such as military expeditions, mining, quarrying, the building of pyramids, and other construction projects for the state. Forced laborers were paid a wage, depending on their skill level and social status for their work. Conscripted workers were not owned by individuals, like other slaves, but rather required to perform labor as a duty to the state. Conscripted labor was a form of taxation by government officials and usually happened at the local level when high officials called upon small village leaders.
Superior Man II
What is my purpose?
How does my Purpose integrate to help purpose?
What is spiritual purpose? Meditation or feeling at a fundamental level apart from change. Feeling your deepest self. Just being.
Choosing ways of making money that are not aligned with your purpose is a mismatch
Who would you be if you if you wanted to die complete? What would need to happen?
Divorce your purpose from the changes of your mind. Your female will see you flipping and flopping and not expressing your fundamental purpose. The depth should always stay the same.
Give up trying to resolve the feminine into a masculine form. The feminine, you mind, your partner, is change itself. You have to just accept that. Don’t let it affect your masculine form. Embrace her dance in love.
Keep your eye on the prize at your deepest core.

“People who are wasteful and out of job because they’re really lazy dont deserve money. this was the situation during the great depression with plenty of fields and mines and restaurants but because of some physiological hangup that money is real and people must suffer to get it. The purpose of the machine is to relive you of that suffering. We need to change the physiological attitude to money and to wealth. we have to get the message across to the general public that money isn’t real. “
Watts
the first truly divine theory of money-creation | Debt 5000
Speculation on everything money increased and citizens were encouraged to get involved in speculation themselves with 401ks and homes mortgages. Credit increased to make up for the missing wages. Regan breaking up strikes and attacking labor showed All deals were off .the bank regulates money in circulation to promote artificial scarcity. 1980’s Usury laws (that limited 7-10%) were overturned by act of Congress and lobbying became legal.
Such effusions inspired evangelists like Pat Robertson to declare supply-side economics “the first truly divine theory of money-creation.
The chief cause of bankruptcy is catastrophic illness. If one doesn’t have a car one cannot work, going to college saddles most with debt with half their life. Debt peonage becomes something allegedly what everyone has. Capitalism is a system of power and exclusion. When things crash there are oil shocks.
Marx
Capitalism has crisis inherent in it. Labor is source of profit > machines are produced and take place of labor > system creates corrections so cost of goods decreases so workers can still buy things > the rich will switch to using financial markets for risk averse investor’s.
Marx thought capitalism would collapse in the 1800’ s but they underestimated the power of capitalism to mutate.
Marx thought that labor would make people. Professor William losonic showed factory life created factory culture. Marx thought that the workers would rebel because they didn’t have resources. He was wrong and instead this culture created self education meetings, co-op store’s, self education, book shops etc. He was wrong to think automation would destroy skill and working class could not produce enduring culture. (Most data came from England 1848). He was right about capitalism but was wrong about what the workers would do.
Gregories Keely -Canadian barrelling–They had tons of unions, Masonic handshakes, own their own tools, controlled output to keep wages up, had oaths , rituals and would all take blue min(hungover days) off.
Jesus and Female and Male
Salvation represents overcoming divisions. Female should not be separated from male. We should be fully integrated
(22) Jesus saw some little ones nursing. He said to his disciples, “These little ones who are nursing resemble is those who enter the kingdom.” They said to him, “So shall we enter the kingdom by being little ones?” Jesus said to them, “When you (plur.) make the two one and make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside and the above like the below, and that you might make the male and the female be one and the same, so that the male might not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye and a hand in place of a hand and a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image - then you will enter [the kingdom].”
Old Generations
Globally old people are living longer. They don’t work and need healthcare. Smaller workforce. Lower growth. Global situation is bleak.
Government debt will shoot up. S&P unless governments slashed pension liabilities by 2050, their debts will sink the world. China, US Japan and most other developed nation’s are in the same boat.Median net debt of developed counties will still be 220% of GDP by 250. America’s will increase 3xs. Japan will be 500% as opposed to 250 now . By 2050 60% of all countries will have junk bonds and will be unlendable.
Ireland and Slave girls | Debt 5000
The human economy was calculated in slave girls and money wasn’t really used except for compensation. In Ireland slave girls were used as currency (slave girls -kumals or ancillae). This was usually used for paying fines and for gifts. Those who had the highest degree of honer were like gods. Everyone had an honer price. If they were offended you would have to pay their honer priced. They often wouldn’t trade actual slave girls but would have to pay 21 cows or 21 ounces of silver. Kings honer were worth at least 7 slave girls. Any man who allows himself to satirized, a king who works field, a king who murders his relatives etc lawyers could demote him and he could have a smaller honer price. A women had 1/2 value of a close male relatives unless she was and independent land owner and if she was a whore she had no honor. Slave girls stop changing hands before 600AD due to influence of the church. Though in wales, a very similar code if someone Injured a bishop his closest women will become the lowest level slave(washer women). This was the greatest dishonor, seeing your mother or sister become a washer women.
People want to work less
1800- 60-70 hours a work. No free time
1791- carpenter in Philadelphia went in strike for 10 hours a day
1916 -Addamson act. 8 hours for railroad workers
1937- Fair labor standards act made 8
2011- 11% reduction of total hours reduced. 34 hours of paid labor a week.
Median wage rises. People are making more money so work less. When we make enough we don’t work as much and so more to make ourselves happy.
Use stocks and bonds to disperse earnings.
Social security is a black box. We have no idea what the government is investing on our behalf. The government should give us “stocks and bonds” to portfolio of people who volunteer for elderly or mentor troubled teens. The shares vest overtime. We could invest in our own neighborhoods.
The problem after a war is with the victor. He thinks he has just proved that war and violence pays. Who will now teach him a lesson?
When trying to pull out of Vietnam - south Vietnam nationalist wanted fighting to continue because they wouldn’t be able to beat the communists in government.
There should not be one law for America and one for the rest of the world.
The civil rights movement shows non violence is the way to go.”violence is absurd against the US. “They are experts at violence.
One must not be forced into civil disobedience. Resistence is a moral responsibility.
No army ever lossess a war. The all knowing general are stabbed in the back by civilians
but where for Smith, the division of labor is actually an outgrowth of our “ natural propensity to truck and barter” in pursuit of individual advantage, for Tusi, it was an extension of mutual aid | Debt 5000
but where for Smith, the division of labor is actually an outgrowth of our “ natural propensity to truck and barter” in pursuit of individual advantage, for Tusi, it was an extension of mutual aid : Let us suppose that each individual were required to busy himself with providing his own sustenance, clothing, dwelling place and weapons, .first acquiring the tools of carpentry and the smith’s trade, then readying thereby tools and implements for sowing and reaping, grinding and kneading, spinning and weaving . . . Clearly, he would not be capable of doing justice to any one of them. But when men render aid to each other, each one performing one of these important tasks that are beyond the measure of his own capacity, and observing the law of justice in transactions by giving greatly and receiving in exchange of the labor of others, then the means of livelihood are realized, and the succession of the individual and the survival of the species are assured.
Once you start fro m the initial premise that markets are primarily about cooperation rather than competition-and while Muslim economic thinkers did recognize and accept the need for market competition, they never saw c competition as its essence87-the moral implications are very different. Nasruddin’s story about the quail eggs might have been a joke, but Muslim ethicists did often enjoin merchants to drive a hard bargain with the rich so they could charge less, or pay more, when dealing with the less fortunate.88
We took our system piecemeal from a very different system. This was a genuine free market not back by governments, police and prisons. It wasn’t people trying to gain advantage at any cost.
Nuer people| Debt 5000
South Sudanese tribe that shares everything with members in their camp. The children are strictly taught to share with others. With other tribes, will give other tribes wrong directions. They are forbidden to eat with enemies, but share most things with friends (except cattle)
The entire Nuer society is basically watching after each other, for example, as Evans-Pritchard noted that,“When one household has a surplus, it is shared with neighbors. Amassing wealth is not an aim. Although a man who owns a large herd of cattle may be envied, his possession of numerous animals does not garner him any special privilege or treatment.”
Slavery
Slavery only works based on violence because it is needed to rip people from their context.
Slavery only works based on violence because it is needed to rip people from their context.
Slavery across in china, Sumer, Rome, Judea (Niamaiah), Ireland (where slave girls were used as currency). A mans wife, children and sheep were considered in the same category as markets for slaves developed. It appears at the same time as money and markets. It arose in agricultural lands and spread around from these places. This can be seen as a start of patriarchal domination as well (5:38)
In human economies no person is equivalent to another. Money can never substitute for a person. A person could never substitute for a person. Slavery could only be possible by ripping a person from their context . It takes literal bondage to isolate so much from their Network (like say Atlantic slave trade)
Paul and the Bible
Was just writing letters to new church
Didnt know they would stand side by side with holy text
Biblioa - Greek for books (library of books) multiple perspectives
Apostles- lots more than 12. It just means representatives of jesus. Also people who Jesus appeared to people after his death. Mary Magdalene was an apostle. Catholic church suppressed this. Paul said Jesus revealed to him last because he was the least of his apostles implying the first people who Jesus appeared created a pecking order. They assumed marry was prostitute but there was no evidence of this.
Valentine - angelic male self and human female self. Jesus wanted to unite both sides.
No sources in Aramaic - just in Greek. Translations can be hainous
Isaiah- by his strifes we are healed. Could be about Jesus but maybe it’s about moses
New testament - means new covenant. Essentially the new deal that Jesus made with humanity.
Different Greek copies in from Byzantine came from about 200 300 ad and protestants after Martian Luther worked from 1500 sources and are still being corrected and changed today. Byzantium had just fallen to the Muslims so these scholars came to Europe in droves.
Copies of copies produced mistakes. Older sources are a constant quest to translate accurately.
marcion bible - shortened bible with just new testament.
Martain Luther - James , Jude and revelations where moved to the end because he doubted their cannon. He put apocryphal in their own section. The Catholic church disagreed but the luthers printing press bible was really influential.
John more spiritual. Synoptic gospels. Q is sayings of jesus
Paul wrote 7 letters to churches he founded. Thessalonians, Philippians, Corinthians, Romans, Galatians (paul is pissed because other Christian missionaries have told people they need to be circumcised when it was decided by the Jewish scriptures they didn’t)
ColossIans is debated
Ephisians, Timothy Titus where all from different writers then Paul.
Hebrews is debated
Socialism isn’t some system out of left field. Many of the greatest civilizations of earth have been socialist, the modern corporation only started in 1600 (East India Company) and quickly proceeding to commit genocide, invade sovereign territories and exploit workers during the industrial revolution.
In much of human history there was no such thing as ‘abject poverty” due to poor resource allegations. Many societies had a communist system where the government provided for the people which was paid for by taxes on farmer or laborers in the form of grain(in exchange for defense, roads, irrigation etc). Many, many, Anthropologist conclude time and time again that there was no such thing as barter and people would loan others in their communities anything they need to survive in exchange for mutual help. Barter is a myth created by Adam smith to sell his invisible hand idea. “The propensity to truck and barter on thing for another”, which historically untrue.
Egypt had government distributed grain in exchange for labor. Since the Nile flooded regularly there was a surplus. Free citizens had enough time out of the year during times of harvest, they were able to build the the great monuments of the world (not built by slaves, as Im sure you already know). In Mesopotamia people had little class distinction and grain was distributed by the priest, in Rome “Free bread and circuses” was part of the deal of being a roman citizen and they had grain distribution in the streets even up until the time of the goths (5th century AD).
The Inca fed one of the worlds biggest empires in exchange for labor a month out of the year. Similar collective agriculture existed in the Aztecs, where at the village level farming and resources was shared. Many native american tribes had no concept of private property and/or food before Europeans invaded. Is ‘wealth’ for a few better than the majority eating and the invention of starvation around the world? Before capitalist systems were forcibly installed starvation due to inefficient resource distribution was much less of a problem then it is around the world today.
We can use some of those socialist elements to improve our society. The same elements that have been used around world for 300,000’s of years. I think that’s humanities natural state. Instead of subsidizing the war machine, only made possible by by Boeing and lockhead-martian looking to make a profit by blowing people up, we could use that money to feed poor kids. We could use it to fund more science in universities and therefore fund innovation. We’ll need as much of them as possible if were going to save ourselves from global warming. We could pay those professors more and lower insane prices of student loans (which is another unsustainable capitalist model). We could use empty homes (viable space) to house people without homes. We could use surplus we waste every year to feed them, thus giving us more productive, happier citizens. Its not as if we don’t have enough. We have TOO MUCH surplus. We throw away billion of dollars of food every year in the US alone and its illegal to give it to the homeless.
People should be able to work less and enjoy the spoils of their labor. Machines and AI replacing are going to take care of that sooner than later, and unemployment will inevitably go up as more jobs are replaced. Were going to have to change the way we think about labor in relation to worthiness to eat.
Lots of things need to be changed in our generation if were going to continue the human experiment. If we don’t fix them soon there may not be a society left.
TED TALK: Why socialism is humanism.
Stratification of work Force
Bethlehem steel. Fredrick Winslow trailer- scientific management - pick up a pig (iron weighing 92 lbs) and walk. He studied who would do more and making them managers. Gave them raises based on how well they did this.
At another factory he laid of 70% of work force. Laid off smartest people who don’t work quick enough. He succeeded and moving brain work as far away from physical work as possible to prevent union trouble’s. He thought low skill worker resembled an ox more than a human.
Henry Ford - Ford did this next. Had a white collar elite. Production line hired low skilled worker who were mostly immigrants, young and didn’t belong to unions. Ruthless anti unions hiring.
At first they thought this would cause passivity and separation but really it caused people to learn more. They taught themselves philosophy and economics from 1910-1913 (The great unrest) Socialist parties grew.
High levels of repression happened to fight back. By WWI the worker movement was forgotten.
C2//
“That must’ve been hard”
“I’ll bet you were happy”
“I’m sure you were excited”
“Tell me more about yourself.”
“How did that make you feel?”
Newton II
The elites use the Roman system of divide and conquer to keep us apart. After the civil war the elite class pushed racism to separate white and blacks.
Violence should be used as a lost resort. The Panthers were against war. They wanted to pick up a gun to abolish war. Newton said it’s absurd to tell the Vietnamese to put down his guns against American.
The police use violence. The states uses violence by letting children starve.
We must gain security in ourselves and therefore have respect and feelings for all oppressed people. We must not use the racist attitude that the white racists use against our people because they are Black and poor. Many times the poorest white person is the most racist because he is afraid that he might lose something, or discover something that he does not have. So you’re some kind of a threat to him. This kind of psychology is in operation when we view oppressed people and we are angry with them because of their particular kind of behavior, or their particular kind of deviation from the established norm.
One problem was they didnt really vent early members.
Slavery religion and debt in the Axial Age | Debt 5000
Markets emerged in the near east at least as a side-effect of government administrative systems. After a while it got entangled in Axial age warfare systems. that logic eventually came to conquer government itself. Philosophers start to see this and develop ideas to combat cold logic of living solely for profit. They align themselves with social movements and deeper spirituality. Everywhere these movements were first and foremost peace moments and morality. At first rulers ignored these movements, but then as their empires were in market crisis(since the military, slave, coinage wouldn’t work since they could no longer expand) they adopted these ideas as official ideas for their empire (Constantine, Ashoka, Wudi (Confucianism). Human sphere started to be separated ( Market Greed v Religious Generosity). Axial age religions ephisized giving and charity. Pure greed and pure charity wont work without the other. Cash money appeared and the religious came up to combat them.
Radicals say religion is only escapism. Peasants used to be able to get up and leave. They would defect for larger communities and outlaw slavery in their territories (Esines and Buddhism). Slavery faded as an institution(in later Europe it was seen as barbaric) , wars became less brutal (Chivalry, honor, etc).
Lenin
There is a line from- free market- monopoly and from colonization to global war.
In ‘What is to be done’ Working class is unable to understand its position in the marxist system. Socialist consciousness is to be bought from them from without. The labor union would have to be diverted from its moderate pathway and toward the seizure of power.” He argue it need an elitist party to lead them as a opposed to Marx who said it was the workers themselves. Lenin argued stratification had caused privilege of one class (Labor aristocracy)
Lennin thought Skilled labor division is a permanent condition that came from colonialism around the world.
Marx thought working class, skill would disappear through automation
Debating within religion
Clements and Orgin or Alexandria :Disagreements in religion are good. Because doctors and lawyers disagree do you stop going to doctors or lawyers? (Also burning house, more than one way to the finish line)
Revelation was from 100 ad (non cannon) most Jewish apocalypse books are very common.
It used to be that there were different types of Christianity, just like Buddhism or Hinduism. Justin marter started calling everyone else heretics. He said they were inspired by demons. He was eventually killed by Romans. He decided he was teaching truth and everyone else was teaching hereseys. Ironious picked it up afterwards . the Catholics were able to get everyone to believe the same thing. after the Catholic reformation sects were once again allowed.
Information tech
It started out that internet was a tool mapped onto capitalism. It was thought businesses would be able to control the spread of knowledge still before around 2004 But now we know that was wrong. Wikipedia and cryptocurrency prove this.Microsoft and Apple tried to control it for years but currently open source is getting bigger.
The first thing is the democratization of information. Less political propaganda and centralized opinions. It is increasingly evident that capitalism conflicts fundamentally with data value.
Reversing globalization at this point would mean getting out of fiat money, reversing credit. Counties won’t do that. Trade wars may even spill over into other more violent areas.
OECD report - French think tank - World grow will slow to 2.7% over next 50 years. Semi skilled jobs will become automated and eliminate middle class. Inequity will rise by 50%. Climate change will eliminate 2.5 off world GDP. Tech won’t increase work force productivity on it’s own. Income taxes will be useless on poor people who have nothing to pay.
Migrants - by 2060 us and Europe must absorb 50 million migrants each. without work force and tax base of the west will go broke by 2060 without them.
The highest educated generation must think of a solution.
