Darkness and Light, masters and slaves

How long has the video game industry been two-faced? How long has there been an organized group of people with confidential access to gameplay mechanics without the player’s knowledge? I don’t mean the normal programming of video games in general, but the post-release product interference, manipulation, and as far as I have experienced it vandalism.

For most of my young adult life I avoided video games and spent my time reading books. I entirely missed the PS3 era and about half of the PS4 era. Now… it’s ridiculous that they pretend like people don’t know they are there, and worse, they ignore our protests to them interfering with our enjoyment!

How can I protest them interfering with my games? How can I enjoy the normal product without post-release vandalism by people who don’t know me, understand me, have my same motivations, or have anything in common with me? There has to be a way I can get rid of them! They are bullies!

That is the plain and simple truth about what they are doing, and they are abusing the one thing I want to enjoy with my time right now. They are interfering in my pursuit of happiness while I am enjoying something so simple and relaxing and stress free until they turn it into some nightmare where an anonymous operator for the government or group the government watches tries to have a personal conflict with me and I don’t even know who they are! They have access to my information and know abundant details about my life, but I have no idea who they are and I can’t seem to communicate the message through the game to them that I want them to stop.

I imagine if this were happening to another person, they would take a gun and go on a shooting spree before killing themselves because of how miserable such a parasitic problem that kind of thing is. We are already barely hanging on to our sanity, peace, and positive attitude… but they don’t even try to empathize with the kind of personal struggle that kind of burden is!

They mock me, laugh, and poke fun at how hard of a time I am having with the normal things in life they take for granted, and they turn them into weapons for bullying. Simple daily commodities I have in my home! Things I buy! They turn them into weapons to bully me with and there is nothing I can do to stop them because they are using commodities to daily life.

Do you expect me to just live without internet, video games, and socializing? Then why are you trying to take those things away from me. Do you think I have too much of those things? Then why is it when you affect one small thing it ruins the entire product so that there is nothing of it left to enjoy.

It takes time for me build back a sense of enjoyment from the negative value they leave me with and I have nothing to gain from any of that obstruction to my life.

They claim they are not bullying me, not being cruel to me, not being hostile and antagonistic, but they are the bullies! Of course they are going to say that! Then the teacher and principle in the pocket of their parents’ money is going to ignore it because those bullies are the “popular” people and star athletes and it would cause a scandal if they were revealed to be bullies. So they ignore it and pretend like they don’t know what is happening and the bully feels like his behavior is justified because they know the teacher and principle are aware of what is happening even if they don’t talk, and when they don’t do anything to stop them, that is interpreted as a sign of permission.

I don’t even know why they would want to waste their time with such a thing! What could the government, nor anyone hope to gain from such an invasion of privacy and destruction of creative media? They surely aren’t making any economic money for such a thing, so if it is black market income, then what they fuck are you going to do when the economy fails and all your black market currency isn’t worth anything? If you are making money off the books, you are taking that money out of circulation from the economy, making people poorer, and contributing to the global problem of income inequality, poverty, hunger, homelessness, and causing people to become desperate just to meet their basic needs so they start resorting to crime.

Then the community starts losing security, the nation loses security, there is civil unrest because laws aren’t being enforced nor do the people who have disabled them care to have them be enforced. With all that money draining out of the economy, the nation is going to go hollow and the weight of all the obscenely heavy rich will collapse and destroy them. The poor will be better off sure and will be able to survive something like that much more readily than the rich, but none of that is necessary! Please just play the economy by the rules and stop trying to cheat. You are ruining the lives of billions of people in addition to your own.

Do you know what it is called when a principle or teacher ignores a bully: criminal neglect of responsibility. They are adults and are expected to know better than to allow such childish behavior get the better of them. The very reason why there are laws to prevent minors from working is because they cannot be trusted with that responsibility because they are children! They are a danger to themselves and others when they lack the maturity of good judgment, wisdom, and ability to know right from wrong and what to do about either.

When an adult in a role of leadership, like a teacher or principle, fails to be an adult and makes a child’s mistake, they commit a crime that demands a severe punishment because of how they have eroded the trust between people in the community. Are you a decent person who I can trust to be an adult when I’m not watching you count the money or interact with the customers? Or are you one of them, who is going to ruin the company’s reputation with bad behavior, commit crimes, and otherwise harm people because you are under a childish delusion of self-importance and haven’t yet learned the humility of being an adult.

Ask yourselves, why are you doing what you are doing? Making money? Not likely because there is no profit to gain from comprised data like that which does not represent a natural environment or one of entertainment since it has become a fighting pit of slaves without pay or recognition. We don’t even get the cheering fans from the Coliseum like the Romans had. We only get the suffering inflicted by the private buyers and sadists who torture us through their invasive access to our private lives.

So what are you doing it for? Most likely they lie to themselves about it being of some benefit of mine which they do not understand themselves, nor could they because I gain no benefit from their bullying. Maybe they say they are “training” me. For what though? Video games, life behavior, or as your personal pet? What makes you think even trying to do that is okay? Especially to someone who doesn’t know you, doesn’t like you, and doesn’t want you involved in my life at all! I would be willing to give most likely anything to “do away” with those people. Kill them. Banish them. Fire them. Bind them with a restraining order. Whatever, but there is nobody I can petition, nobody I can complain to, and the government does not want anyone to know they are allowing this to happen and very likely the cause of it.    

Is there some kind of video game competition you think I am going to play in? Are you taking bets on my performance against other players? Why don’t I get a cut of that money even if it is black market income? What the fuck kind of monsters are you people!? Organized crime sydicates of all types would know better than to do what you do, and in fact would be outraged and threatened by you because of how you are endangering the entire underground community with the suspicion your actions will cause.

What is the reason why you do what you do? Say it to yourself. What kind of person does that make you? How welcome is someone like that in your neighborhood? In your house? In your government? In your own body!? The suspicion from the public caused by something so evil and inhuman by an underground organization operating in darkness is going to disrupt a lot of business that operates off the books and not in a good way.

No. That is not how that is supposed to happen.

There is a delicate balance between business underground, and legal business. Operations in the darkness of mystery and operations in the light of public knowledge. Both are welcome to be happening in a healthy civilization, but that requires a kind of unspoken agreement between the leaders of those underground organizations and the leaders of the public knowledge ones.

Do you know what that unspoken agreement is: never do such a thing as the evil that they are doing now. If that happens, we are going to scour through every hole we know you have, find every last one of the people involved in that evil, and bleach the entire community. You are like the Black Plague, and if we didn’t disinfect our civilization to prevent your life, the sickness and disease would cause unmitigated damage on a global scale and end the lives of countless more people who in no way deserve to suffer for you to be evil. You will have to be sanitized from the world’s neighborhood.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

It goes like this: we make laws. Those laws should be minimal in scope, and only more restrictive as necessary. People are inherently good (more obvious without circumcision to confuse them) and we do not want to do evil, destroy civilization, or end humanity. Laws typically are needed for business interests that require definition but aren’t necessarily good or evil. It goes without question that you are not to do evil, but there are laws for that too.

So the public law makers make the laws. Then the underground organizations are aware of those laws, because they are public, and they do what they want being careful to not draw attention to themselves from the law enforcement who could interpret a lot of what they are doing in ways that would be less than favorable for them.

Law enforcement should not be seeking out that kind of thing, but maintaining the specific laws that are created and staying close to those.

However… if there is a problem, and you will know because there will be a problem, like this missive is now informing you of there being right now in our society. Then that means that the public law enforcement in the light is going to solve that problem for everyone’s benefit. They are going to go into your domain of darkness. Your domain of underground. That is your territory, you have the advantage, but they are not your enemy so don’t abuse your power against them. They will be subject to a lot that you may do or cause in the underground and that requires the highest degrees of professional behavior i.e. maturity, expertise, and good judgment, by the law enforcement agents investigating the problem, and yourselves who are masters of darkness.

As for the underground organizations, it is in your interest that they solve the problem clearly, effectively, and without any loose ends to come investigating again about. However, since it is in your domain, you may be able to move some stuff around so that other parts of your operations aren’t brought to light when the problem is solved. The problem being brought to light, along with the solution that eliminates the suspicion and fear is how that situation is resolved and people go back to their normal lives like we all want. The suspicion in the public is exactly what the sign of a problem is, which will be obvious when it is excessive because of harm, evil, and crime going on to disrupt the lives of private, law abiding citizens.

It will be abundantly evident if someone like me can use clear use of reason, language, and communication to identify that problem when I am not in any way a law enforcement agent with the information, resources, nor responsibility to do such a thing without a superhuman effort you should never expect from anyone. NEVER!!!! ESPECIALLY NOT FROM JESUS THE CHRIST YOU INGRATE FAGGOTS!!! it is not because I am superhuman that I do such a thing. It is because I am intelligent, capable, and experienced. I have no superhuman qualities, but in moments of great need, people can sometimes do more than is possible, but those are not done with our human power alone. Law enforcement are hired with special government authority to enforce the law because you cannot rely on people to do what is beyond our capability, such as enforcing the law in a nation because its government is testing him. You should know if you considered whether or not you were capable of doing what you ever put anyone else through, and if you are, then why the fuck aren’t you doing anything yourself?

When the problem is solved in the underground, that area is now illuminated in civilization and the underground organizations need to adapt or turn over a new leaf. Do not fight that from happening because that will happen one way or another, even if we need to fight a Civil War over what is happening. If the law enforcement fails, people like me, who abide in the light, but are fully capable in darkness, will hunt you down with or without the legal approval to do so.

We will take matters into our own hands with the authority and power of the light, just as you do in darkness without the light. You cannot contend with that kind of power. The moment darkness is in the presence of light, it is illuminated and loses all dark powers. One man with that power, can destroy an entire international crime ring of evil fools in darkness who forgot that civilization is not a conflict between order and chaos or law enforcement and freedom, it is a dance, a harmony, a friendly engagement between neighbors.

It is not a fight, and I don’t care what Black people say about it because of what they perceive with self-fulfilling prophecy and inflated paranoia, because they are not improving anything by doing the same damn thing white people did to them which they hated. They are making the problem triply worse because of their betrayal of the people who have been fighting for them, their destructive actions toward civilization, and the moral sin of doing what they should have known better than to do.

You think you are cool, strong, and powerful because you know the authority of civilization and are above it? You think you are tough because you don’t care about what anyone says or thinks or approves of? You think that is hip and stylish because you do that in darkness, anonymity, and hiding like a coward afraid of the people who you defy?

Take a good look at me. I am your worst enemy, and everything you wish you were at the same time.  Do you remember how you got to where you did? The first thing that happened? Humiliation. You will have to humble yourself now or you will be humbled when I crush you with the forces of the law that are in my service as a public citizen, just as I have crushed you from above now with the Word that is your undoing: coward, chicken, afraid, yellow-belly. You flaunt your lawlessness but only when you are hiding and anonymous. You pretend to be defiant, but are nothing more than a slave because you do not participate in civilization while in darkness and are beholden to it only relative to what is done in the light but never doing anything yourself. If you don’t have a name and aren’t known by it for what you do, then you are a nobody, no matter what you may think about yourself because of who you have in your contacts list. You are a nobody because you cannot go with us to the party, the market, all the best civilization has to offer. You are nothing but a ghost, shade, and insubstantial wannabe person, not even a wannabe hero—a wannabe person which you would be if you had not given you humanity away to be evil!

Why then don’t you identify yourself and speak for what you do if you think you are doing anything to help? Is it because you will be exposed for evil, made to realize that you’ve only been causing problems? That is what that means to be a slave to evil. You are a slave and cannot go where you want, do what you want, live any life you want, or have any career, profession, or dream you want. You are trapped in the darkness you serve, and you will be held accountable for your crimes when the light finds you and the darkness flees from you just like you do from me.

Universally applicable parental discipline (rule of thumb)

First, remove your thumb from your arse and wash off the shite with soap.

On the lips of the intelligent is found wisdom,
    but a rod for the back of one without sense. Proverbs 10:13

Unfortunately, Bible quotes need to be disentangled from the Jews because Jews have begun to pretend they are to credit for Biblical literature and are due the glory of its wisdom. There are multiple ways that is wrong, the most obvious being that the wisdom is from the divine, not the Jews, and the less obvious is the fact that such proverbs as this one are known to have been compiled from various cultures around the area from Gentiles and included in Hebrew scripture. Had the Jews not attempted to claim credit and glory of the Bible for themselves, they would be honored for maintaining it, but they are arrogant and thus must be disentangled with rebuke and awarded dishonor and disgrace for their hubris.

Now that they are isolated elsewhere, we can proceed.

Simply put: when raising a child the parent/guardian is required to discipline them to learn the ways of the world and human conduct as vitally more important than urges of animal nature. Animal nature is selfish, not evil, and it is driven by bodily urges for goods, whereas humans are driven by immaterial concepts as goods for our spirit.

Bodily urges and animal desires are fine but they must not conflict with the significance and values of human concepts relevant to the local society and the universal standard for all people, and that is why discipline is so important. Do not be afraid of discipline. Discipline is good and many people seek it for all manner of reason. It is not punishment, it is temperance, justice, and harmony. It is living one’s life so that the song of their being resonates pleasantly with all other songs of being for the music of life to be consonant and pleasing to the celestial divinities as well as mortal human beings.

So, when disciplining your child because they made an error in judgement first use language, reason, and wisdom to explain why the mistake was a mistake and what the correction is. That is found on the lips of the intelligent, and all human beings are intelligent life, so all parents are capable of this wisdom. You must lead with that first, because that is how they are expected to learn on their own when they no longer have parents or teachers to guide them. The entire purpose is to prevent mistakes from happening because you can think them through before facing the consequences of their punishment.

Perhaps as a child, you learned that electricity is hot by experience like I did by touching a electric heating coil on a stove and burning your finger. I never thought about it all that much before now other than how it hurt for some time after and took longer to heal than I expected compared to something like a skinned knee or elbow which was typically a wound over more area. In any case, the implicit lesson learned by using reason in the future was that all manner of things can be hot without needing fire, and to be aware of the dangers that poses by not wanting to experience them the hard way like I did when I was told not to touch the stove when I doubted it was working since the water was taking so long to boil.

However, like in my situation, sometimes conventional wisdom simply does not work, and for whatever reason, be it curiosity, will of rebellion, distrust, or anything else, sometimes the painful consequences need to be felt to learn the simplest of lessons. That is why discipline sometimes requires a “rod for the back of a fool”. So it is with children. If there are some ways you intend to discipline the behavior of the child by explaining why they are important for reasons that can’t be expected to fully understand yet, but they prove unreceptive, disobedient, and rebellious, then it becomes admissible to use physical force to teach the simplest form of the lesson. “Don’t do that or you will be hurt.”

These days, that should not be physically beating of the child’s body, because that is not something they should fear in human society. That used to be relevant with public floggings, torture dungeons, and things of that sort, but those are out of practice for the same reason it is unhelpful in the common household as it reinforces the opposite of what needs to be taught. If they learn to fear physical violence to their body as the consequences of misbehavior, they will be maladapted to social situations as adults and may misinterpret ideological threats to their beliefs, or insults of outrage, to be dangers to their physical body when they are most certainly and by principle not for the very reason that fool fears physical violence being done to their own body!

It is a mutual agreement that does not need codification or writing and applies to all neighbors in civilized society prohibiting such responses with the exception of a last resort, and if necessary, to trust such violence to professionals disciplined to enforce the law with as much restraint from violence as possible. If such a mistake in judgment is made, it could be catastrophic, especially if it was made from a person of social significance like a president or acting with the authority of the president. For such people to prove to be fools, it is the most self-destructive thing possible to their reputation and public image and their own fault.

The very last thing you want to happen is to expect an ideology to respond with physical force, and if you know they will, to do all that you can to prevent that response from being necessary. If a nation or individual is so uncooperative, foolish, obstinate, and uncharitable as to leave no other option for the other party’s ideology to be accommodated with compromise, it will in fact result in physical violence because that is the final and certain way to teach something to fools who will not use reason or sense. That is why tyranny is always a mistake and has proven to be over and over again. Do not negotiate with terrorists threatening violence to get what they want, such as by executing hostages, blowing up buildings, and the like, as is well known by leaders.

However, if an individual or group with ideological conflict expresses that, in general, violence will happen if you do not negotiate with them at all while they are trying to prevent that violence by negotiating, that is different. They are not responsible for that violence simply by knowing it is the last resort to help other people learn to help themselves. That is a warning that the stove will burn your hand if you touch it, not that they themselves will burn your hand if you touch the stove. In those cases, and the one involving me, the tyrants are using passive physical violence with inaction, and they become the antagonist and source of the problem. The become criminal and complicit with violent offenders by not responding in the capacity that they are specifically responsible for and sworn to do as well.

When matters of ideological judgment, negotiation, and compromise involve nations, the people making those decisions are expected to be highly capable in the use of their reasoning faculties and proficiency with rational and critical thought. Spiritual proficiency and understanding may be applicable as well, but it is unnecessary, possibly distracting, and only useful if both parties recognize the same spiritual truth. In any case, whatever spiritual understanding there may be, it is invalid without the foundation of human reason and rational understanding as the foundation for it. Human beings have animal bodies, which you cannot remove without removing the entire human being from life, so you simply cannot ignore that fact because it is the most substantial truth, and why reason is required for those matters because it is a quality of the animal body that leads to higher nature.

In this day and age, it is highly embarrassing for a nation that I must even explain this, and to the USA government too! That is a nation founded entirely on reasonable agreement with no necessary spiritual authority besides the mutual agreement on the bottom line of Natural reality for how that reason is derived! That very bottom line is the same one that Judaism is derived, and that which Christianity, Islam, and all other religions are derived and why they are professed as truth! If those other religions are functioning properly, they should keep people from needing to descend all the way down to that authority for proof, because religions’ place is underneath humanity, as the footstool of humanity, not the crown on our head as the symbolic authority of our power. It helps us reach the top shelf.

So when disciplining a child with physical force, violence against their body is not to be used because that should not be a threatened consequence in modern civilization. There are places to go to express physical violence, but the court of law is not that place. So, use physical force with things like “time out” or temporarily removing creature comforts like toys and privileges they enjoy. That is a very meaningful consequence because it reinforces the concept that if they misbehave in adult life, it could result in the lose of those things. Not only as an individual who may go bankrupt or not be able to afford what they want for themselves, but on a national scale, the entire economy may be in danger because of political misbehavior known as corruption. If that happens, all people in that nation risk losing what they are privileged to enjoy as a civilization. Things like food, water, electricity, and all that stuff provided for all citizens without need of acquiring it on our own aside from paying taxes as necessary and abiding by the law.

There is no requirement to work, only pay taxes on what you do gain through work. Do you know why that is? It is a natural human desire to work productively and be of use to others; an urge to our being. You don’t need to make people do it because we do it on our own unless there is a problem preventing it from happening like systematic racism, income inequality, or monopolized industries strangling competition. In worst case scenarios, there is an even greater problem than all of those combined that results in people refusing to contribute because taxes are used for what is destructive to themselves.

Preventing your children from being able to watch tv or play video games as a consequence for their disobedience after first explaining why it is wrong through use of reason, is much worse than a spanking on the buttocks. That is applicable to children, btw, and the government has absolutely no business using such methods to attempt to “discipline” their citizens, and if that is found out to be part of their abuse of power, it needs the harshest punishment for the crime applicable. First of all, they never expressed what they want, or why, and so if they are punishing me for some ungodly reason, there is no possible way I can know what it is.

You expect me to avoid pain and suffering and seek pleasure as though it will teach me something about human behavior? What kind of fools would think that teaches anything to a person! Human beings can experiment on animals with restraint because animals do not comprehend what human beings do, and thus cannot suffer human pain by being experimented on as it would cause a human pain. Bodily pain, cruelty, and things like that are things they know well enough and should not be made to suffer, but they don’t understand the importance of human rights as they differ from animal rights and cannot even sense them.

Those things do not cause any pain nor pleasure to animals unless they are made to understand them to a limited degree. That is not all that uncommon of a cultural quality either, and why there were pagan cults that made idols for dogs, cats, and oxen. That isn’t a problem unless humans are being subject to those idols which are made for animals and thus reverting them to non-human, animal behavior when animals communicate through them in their limited way with humans. You cannot condition a human like an animal because humans don’t think or make decisions like animals do.

You can only condition human behavior by using explicit reason reinforced with physical force when necessary. Explicit reason implies direct verbal teaching or written doctrine being taught, and physical force is only used when reason fails to teach what is necessary. That is one of the reasons why taking away video games from a child for disobeying a parent is so horrible. Not only do they suffer the lack of pleasure and experience boredom, but their dignity is insulted in the highest way possible that a human being can suffer. Although they may not realize it, that is the pain that makes it so horrible.

You are basically telling them that they are acting in a way that is unworthy of a human being and thus have to be taught like an animal. By feeling the outrage of that insult, it should reinforce a universal standard of human dignity which is the entire reason why the behavior was expected and explained in the first place whatever it was! You should not be making arbitrary rules to apply and discipline just to exert power if your rules do not have a good reason you know yourself. If that happens, the parent will need teaching by physical force from the child when they are able to do so, usually by shutting the parent’s out of the goodness of their life when they are adults which is usually available to all people except untrustworthy enemies.

Whatever the government is doing to me with excessive use of physical force, is one of the most horrid abominations of authority ever conceived by men and women. It is not only ineffective, but it is stupid, unlawful, cruel, and totally self-destructive to not only the nation, but all civilization the nation is in an unwritten agreement with. The fact that the best minds capable of reason and critical thought for the use of good judgment are expected as the requirement of government leadership, but that they would make such foolish mistakes is an idiocy of such imminent danger that any and all methods of annihilating the cause and restoring order is the highest priority of all human beings everywhere.

I know that as an individual, but eventually, everyone is going to know that, and everyone will use whatever power is at their availability to do what they can to stop the USA government. Just like I do. What is that for me? Writing, reasoning, teaching, working tirelessly to explain the reasons why they should not put their hand on the hot stove! Then seeing them do it and try to hide the embarassment of such a stupid mistake and pretend like nothing happened. Except this is not a human body we are talking about, nor a child, nor a person. It is a national government, and the pain it causes is infinitely worse than the blister on a finger. What will happen when the average citizens of Russia or China or Japan realize the danger they are in from the USA?

The USA’s crime is a sin that requires death to reconcile, and there is only one possibility for that to occur, and guess what? It already happened. Do you know what that means? It means that I am correct by pointing out the truth of Jesus the Christ as something entirely different than myself and still applicable to the situation. It also means that if the people want forgiveness for such a sin, they are going to have to grant it through a public confession of their faith in Jesus, submitting themselves to the authority of the Church he established with Peter as the rock with the keys to life and death who is the only human authority to say who would be forgiven and not. You cannot fake something like that because it is entirely public life and trusted in private unless you are proven to be untrustworthy in public life and thus not in provate life either! That requires a public confession and demonstration by way of life at the very least, but if the trust is broken, then the result is imprisonment.

So, let’s say the USA does not do that, like the arrogant apes who committed the sin are too stubborn to understand or even consider as a reasonable possibility regardless of culture, faith, or doctrine. It is a universal truth whether they like it or not, and salvation, forgiveness, and life are the reward for understanding and accepting it, with or without religion or the “Jewish beliefs”. It only applies to Jews because it is their own way of salvation since they are the ones who committed such a sin first and thus needed readmittance back into the good graces of civilization with other nations who they sinned against in the worst way and betrayed the trust of.

It’s as they say, in the scripture, the wages of sin are death. If the USA will not give up its sin and accept the reward of forgiveness the way it was shown by Jesus who died crucified on a cross to express it as the highest possible cost he could pay, then the USA will be rewarded with death. Not the death of a single person. The death of the entire nation. That is what is required, and there will not be peace, happiness, justice, or rest until it does. Everyone against the USA and it is not a person, so it does not have human rights. There is no need to hold restraint when destroying it, even if it means killing millions and millions of people who are trying to defend it as slaves to evil. It is not a person. It holds no authority of human beings now that it has betrayed the source of its authority and the authority was removed. You would be a fool to trust or help them in any way, and I urge you for your own sakes to not do so.

By choosing the way of forgiveness, that means that the USA needs to lay down its life, like a lamb to the slaughter. They must open their doors to the public who will make all secrets known without endangering lives of law abiding citizens, and submit by representative completely to reconciliation and what is required for the identified sins. The fact that Christianity is a universal doctrine means that it can be done without Christianity, but Christian truth will harmonize with whatever is done because that is how universal truth works. It is in total agreement with all of its forms of expression. It is basic practice of human forgiveness between humans. In this case, the humans representing the national government asking for forgiveness from who the USA national government offended, which at the highest level is most apropriately the USA citizens.

Honestly, there should be no resistance from the representatives doing that because it is not personal to them. They are representing something other than themselves. They have no reason to resist, but if they do resist, there is only one reason: they are criminals and are hiding their sins.

I don’t know how much more I can attempt to reason with whoever reads this to teach them do what is in their best interest, but eventually this too will stop, and the rod upon the fool’s back will begin. Then they will be made to hurt in body and spirit as they are punished criminally and insulted for acting like animals and requiring animal conditioning to be made compliant with human beings even though they do not understand.

The Story of Money (first draft)

Believe it or not this is technically one of my areas of expertise because it is what I have my undergraduate degree in.

Making money, trade, and exchanging goods for units of value that have no value themselves is one of the best conceptual links between animal reality and higher conceptual reality of humanity.

The practice and activity of trade and business did not develop out of self-interest to acquire the units with which goods are exchanged. The exchanging of goods occurred before there was a system of accounting using fixed units of measurement to simplify the process the more widespread economic networks between peoples became.

Can you imagine having to explain to Fred Flintstone the importance of using money to start exchanging for items instead of the items of desire and necessity themselves? No easy task in my opinion, and one of necessity that extends the reach and utility of human language in its endeavor. New concepts had to be identified with words that did not exist but were just as real as grain and ore.

Why would someone go through that endeavor? Probably because it was a pain in the neck getting everything they needed with all the different values people had. Life was not more difficult than necessary until someone saw how it could be better by assigning standard values that could be agreed upon while trusting each other to honor their commitment to the system. To that end, what assurance did people have that they could trust each other?

Regulation and enforcement of standards by the already existing authority that handled matters trust between neighbors. It is the existence of a healthy law and its enforcement that allows people to sleep in peace among a multitude of people they don’t know and trust they are safe and will continue to be safe along with their assets and possessions.

So then what interest is there to convince the reigning king that this is in his best interest to go through the effort to establish among his domain? Taxes maintained and accounted for according to the same standard of value as that which is used for trade.

At the inception of formal economics of value the entire purpose was good for everyone involved. All people benefitted no matter what they wanted, what faith they worshipped, or whether they were allies or enemies. It was quite literally to everyone’s benefit to do this, and do you know who benefits most?

The common every day people who work in the fields, do the manual labor under the direction of a master, perform all manner of laborious tasks independently, and carry the burdens of others which altogether contributes to the healthy function of a society.

The builder of houses builds houses for the farmers growing wheat, and the farmer provides grain to make into bread. As houses became more secure, capable, and intelligently designed, the skills of an architect became more difficult to acquire, which also can be said for agriculture with the differences in expertise involving different areas of knowledge. Architecture is more of a physical science of nature, whereas agriculture is more of a spiritual science of nature. The architect must know material strengths, weaknesses, how to arange them with a sense of applied physics, and so on and so forth, all of which is much more easily conceptualized than the mastery of agriculture.

The farmer must understand the subtlties of changing seasons, the signs of weather, the nature of plantlife to do so efficiently, and also physical science to a lesser extent, such as application of water, fertilizer, and methods of accomplishing work. The point of this dichotomy is that people rely on other people to do what they do not need to know how to do themselves.

The builder may find the rituals farmers use to blend spirituality, faith, and labor strange and bizarre, but the farmer has an inexplicable understanding of how they work, why they are important, and the limits of their applications. However suspicious they may be of those mystical ways they maintain benevolent trust between each other because both abide by the laws of the king who protects them with soldiers and guards, and the king ensures that all is good in his domain to the best of his ability. If he did not, there would be no reason for the farmer or the builder to trust the king with authority to employ soldiers and guards and enforce laws, and they would not cooperate. They would continue to survive at a more primitive level of technology for their own safety, happiness, and well being.

There is an irony here about the nature of builders and farmers as it relates to the modern day. While there is still mystical applications in agriculture and there always will be, it is the builder's work that is more mystical these days. They location of not only ore, but specific ores, their refinining, and the applications of electricity, plumbing, are all more of a mysterious concept than humble farming which is very much the same as it was in ancient times. The seed still goes into the earth and comes out as wheat. But there were no lightbulbs, fiberglass, special metals with specific qualities of chemical value used for specific reasons in the way they are today because of what is needed simply to locate those metals, understand their chemical properties, and how to make the most use of them.

Let us take ease off on the balloon torch for a moment and descend a bit. While a pile of shit is of great value to a farmer, it is quite undesirable for a builder. Likewise a stone is an obstacle to a farmer and one that needs to be removed from his plot, but the builder sees shape and form within it that can be used for a higher purpose if molded by the hands of a mason.

The builder learns that a farmer has a lot of stones and wants to aquire them, and though these stones are of no use to the farmer, the builder lives in the city with a nice house and has a lot of nice things for building reliable houses for a lot of people who gave what they could in return.

The builder does not want to cheat the farmer because he wants to continue buying grain in goodwill, so he says, “My neighbor, I can always count on your harvest each year, and I want to help you if I can. Is there anything I can give you that you lack?”

The farmer is somewhat suspicious as to why the builder wants to help so charitably particularly because he is so familiar with the harsh and unforgiving nature of Nature. But he trusts the builder because he has heard of his work and his reputation is good, so he says directly, “What do you want, Mr. Christ? I believe you want to help me, but I am not so naive as to believe you will do so without wanting something in return. Tell me what that is first so I can know where this conversation is going before I go with you to make an exchange.”

The builder laughs in good spirit and says, “You caught me! It is true! You see, I heard that you have an excess of a certain type of stone from the new land you cultivated and it is of the kind that I can make great use of building houses. I would like to acquire that stone which your workers cleared out of your new field and piled near your granary, but I would not want to buy it without giving you something of equal value to you as the stone is to me.”

“Ah, so that is your game, is it?” Mr. Satan replies. “Quite lucky that you visited today, because I was just thinking of a method I could do away with that stone. Although I do not know the fullness of its application, I am aware from what I have heard from neighbors about its use, and I was going to send my steward Hermes to the city to inquire of it and see if it could be traded. However, the sun is at its peak and the day is hot, let us go inside and have some wine while we discuss the arrangements.”

Agreeing on how much fertilizer to acquire and trade for the stone is something that takes a lot more time and effort to figure if you need to account for all the different aspects of value individually at each link in the chain of trade, to include labor, transportation, and the object itself. But if there is a known value for a heap of manure and a stone as they are relevant to the king in terms of their available quantity and usefulness, and that value is a known as a number, that trade can be simplified and more time spent enjoying wine and catching up on current events.

The point is this: business, exchanges of money, and economics is a system designed for everyone’s good and it would never have been established if it wasn’t for everyone’s good. One person refusing to cooperate because it was burdensome and costly to them would refuse, and that would ruin the entire numerical system because their objects of value would not be accountable by any numerical standard, and thus standards would constantly change and be unpredictable, unreliable, inefficient, and stressful. It would be a waste of time to have 99 percent cooperation and 1 percent refusing to cooperate than to just have everyone barter individually with goods and language instead of numerical values assigned to units of value for the purpose of trade alone.

Business is not supposed to be about cheating other people when possible, manipulating the system at the expense of others and one’s own benefit, or accruing as much units of monetary value as possible. All those things, those evils, developed after the economic system of monetary trade was established. Why? Because people could not acquire money without objects of value or services of value, and there were people that simply did not have any objects of value, so money became valued because it could be used to acquire objects and services of value for people who were not land owners or artisans.

That is not yet a problem, simply a reason to find ways to distribute money so that more people could have what they need. This too is done on the principle of trust and faith that they are doing some part, some contribution, some usefulness to the society even if you do not know what it is and cannot account for it. That’s because people make hustles, side deals, odd jobs, shady deals that could damage a reputation, arrangements of a personal nature, etc. The king knows these things happen and he employs them as well, because as useful as numerical systems are, there are needs that cannot be quantified with value or are exceptions to any system, and thus require wise judgment to discern.

Thus the king’s judgment becomes a subject of systematic study, and wisdom becomes more of a known system of value. However, that is all I will write about that at this time.

As people start needing money, populations increase, and civilization prospers, the system becomes increasingly complex and difficult to maintain. Not only because of the numerous exchanges and assigned values, but because of the records that need to be stored, maintained, and remembered. So people start inventing new ways to be useful in society, but they cannot be allowed to form kindoms of their own and private economies using the same method as the king because that would destabilize the system overall and ruin it for everyone.

So another system is established in the exchange and trade of ideas. A person wants to do something, needs money, and petitions the king directly about what they want to do, how it will be useful to the king, and if they can explains why it will be good for everyone, because that saves the king time from having to consult his advisors and research everything on his own, He can just confirm the information presented.

Then with the kings approval, the treasurer disburses money from the kings treasure and there is no need for interest, because the king has no use for money other than as a unit of value. It is of no worth to him in itself, so there is no need to charge interest when the king lends as long as the money is paid back in good faith when possible.

This system works for a time, but expansion causes even more rapid increases of complexity and the next thing you know there are lines of petititoners wanting to borrow money who petition the king, and he simply does not have time for that, because his agents have reported some concerning information about the neighboring kingdoms. He cannot divert his thoughts from those matters because if war comes and his kingdom falls, the complex system of systems that has grown alarmingly quick will be rendered entirely without value, and everything will be rearranged according to another kings personal judgement with no regard for the long history and local cultural relationships because that will not be known.

The king knows this because that is simply the best thing for a king to do when conquering another kingdom. Do away with the old and replace it with the new for the purpose of efficient stability as quickly as possible. Some things will be kept but only those that are most important, and likely none of the individual affairs between individuals.

So he assigns his steward to distribute his treasury to different banks throughout the city, appoint reliable individuals to hear most petitions for him since most are very similar, and only send unique and complex ones directly to him. He wants regular reports on all the banks decisions ot keep track of them and make sure they are being as wise and he is. It is not easy being king. He’s had to endure years and years of study of math and science, learning histories of foreign nations, and going on mystical spirit journeys with the oracles and shamans of the wild. He would not be who he is or as powerful as he is without what he earned from those shamans and oracles either.

Those people are better left alone, not harassed by his subjects, and respected by him at least as an equal in dignity, just not with his authority as king or ruler of any kind. There is no problem with that because they deserve the respect and it is of no cost or trouble to render it. Also, if they get ticked off at the king, and disrespecting them as lesser creatures than a man or woman always ticks them off, they can destroy an entire kingdom singlehandedly with their mystical ways and nobody knows how they do it.

The king knows this is true because of the records that he has studied of accounts of kingdoms that rise and fall and the reasons why. Fortunately, they are also good for the kingdom in their mysterious ways and incredibly patient. Even that one time when [this particular king] was a fool and in his first years as king upset the hermit who lived in the desert at the furthest reach of his domain, he was reminded that he too is a man above all else, and it was a humbling lesson that earned his lifelong respect.

In any case, the banks start lending money, but they are also doing a service and a service that values money, so they need to get paid, and a system of interest is designed to accommodate that and maintain the integrity of the system. The king is skeptical of it, but as long as they are not abusing people, making his subjects suffer, and are wise in their judgment and willing to deviate from systematic procedure like he specified, it will be fine. He made sure before hiring all the bankers that they understood that every system has exceptions and accommodating those exceptions are most important to maintaining the overall system.

Everything worked out great for this kings kingdom and it was prosperous and peaceful all of his days with this system. He recorded his wisdom in writing before he died. As he was old, and gray in hair he was satisfied at living a good life, serving as ruler and king dutifully and well, making his subjects happy. and raising good children he could trust, he had one doubt that made him uneasy.

He was certain that his wife and stewards, along with himself, taught his sons wisdom and knowledge and all they needed to know, including the humility with which to respect all manners of power. He was also confident of the plan he left to pass power on to the subjects to rule themselves because of how complex the situation was becoming and the extent of range of their needs required more than any person could possibly be responsible for. His court, advisers, and all his subjects had learned of his proposal, and though there was some argument at first, they had plenty of time to think it through, and eventually it was unanimously agreed upon as the best way.

As a test, he had the citizens elect representatives to meet at a council and establish how it would work with his stewards and coucil. They came up with a good plan, he saw no reason to alter it, and established that his children would ensure that transition occurred according to the plan and their best judgment. It was uncertain if it would work as well as he had hoped, but that was simply the way life was with all things, and he was confident that plan would be a good one.

As he reflected on his own life during his final days, he came to believe that his greatest wisdom to pass on, was how he came to understand the way of being king, and how it was applicable to any ruler of a group. It was a job like any other, but one without value or payment. Those qualities made it more like a role in a stage play than professions such as farming or building houses. That role of king was indeed the most powerful in the kingdom by necessity, and thus needed to exercise greatest power, even that of taking lives, but that power was only as good as his subjects.

The goodness of a moral being was a lot simpler than people thought. It was directly correlated to one’s happiness, and the more good a person became in virtue, the happier they became in life. With that knowledge, he always took into account the happiness and goodness of his subjects as his own happiness and goodness. He had heard of some neighboring kingdoms thinkning of the subjects like children and he couldn’t imagine a worse idea. How horrible it would be for his subjects to be treated like children to a father! They would be crushed under the overbearing authority which they had no need for as fathers, mothers, men, and women of their own.

He concluded it best to think of all subjects as he did the neighboring kings and queens of the other realms. He certainly didn’t bow his authority to though, but he also would never make enemies of them, and wanted them to be happy and with what they needed so they would be less inclined to act out of desperation and become threatening. He was not to be pushed around by them and could show his strength and correct any instances of being disrespected by mistake or intention, but he always strove for amicable relationships and strong friendships while refraining as much as possible from knowing and being involved in the affairs of their own kingdoms that did not involve his own.

For what is a house to the master of the house if not his own manner of kingdom and domain? They were not kingdoms in service to him, but him in service to them, because fortunately for them they did not have the burdens that he did with making sure everything was working as it is supposed to. It was an imperfect metaphor, and they always were, but it served its purpose to convey the meaning before falling apart. Their lives were certainly not a game to him or to each other, because they all counted on each other to go to the field of battle should the time for war come, himself included.

Thinking like that was naturally his instinct in addition to what he was taught because it is the way kings have done it long before the time of money. He first learned that money was of no value to the king, nor to anybody without the kingdom, when he was a young boy and his father was king at the time money was first introduced to the kingdom. His father was quite stern and severe when teaching that lesson and he never forgot it. He didn’t truly understand why his father had been so severe until that one horrible time he wish he could forget…

There was a situation several decades prior when a group of people made a religous faith out of exchanging money. As acts of faith, they committed some of the most unthinkable and abhorrent crimes of pure evil by concluding they were necessary with senseless excuses that those evil acts were purposeful in service to their faith alone. They never once considered the faith of other people as relevant as their own. Those fools were completely ignorant of wisdom and good beyond material things and services.

The entire memory of that tragedy still soured his stomach, but they were taught the truth, had come to understand it, and repented their sins contritely. They even forsook their perversion of faith with solemn vows to never allow it to resurface once they realized what they were doing when true faith finally dawned on them. Unfortunately, their crimes were so grave that they could not be allowed to stay in the kingdom, so they were banished, but not without safe passage to the border of the kingdom beyond the city limits.

In any case, it is common sense for a king to think of his subject’s happiness as his own when money is not involved, and in the old days it was obvious the king do that simply to keep his own life, and not less important with money involved, just less obvious. That mindset as a ruler is what led him to understand the role of a king being as that of a servant above all other responsibilities and duties the king had.

The difference between the king as a servant and a servant in a household is that the king was a servant to a master beyond anything he could describe or explain and could only describe as the highest divine with great emphasis on that not being a person’s body, a person’s mind, a person’s spirit, any sort of material thing, or even an object of the imagination. One couldn’t even name that master with a word, let alone envision or explain it with words, but it could be taught with enough use of reason and examples.

It was like a destination that one could never arrive at, but one could see within reach at the same time, and all of life, the universe, and everything was a journey to that destination. No matter how he had tried to reach it, it was never possible and always a mistake to think he had. That too could be explained and taught so a ruler would always anticipate unseen complications.

The one thing that he was uncomfortable about in his final days before his time ended, was the lesson he learned from the hermit of the desert when he first became king. That was not something he could teach, no matter how much he tried nor did to do so. They understood those individuals as vital to the kingdom as anyone else, even the king, and that they were not to be disrespected no matter what was thought about them or they appeared to be. At least not until going to them personally and paying them a visit face to face and meeting them for yourself first, and then with the prudence and care as though the entire kingdom depended on one’s wise judgment.

There simply was not a situation for his children to see them demonstrate their ultimate power because the kingdom was good and prosperous in addition to him having learned the lesson he did. There were countless times things could have gone wrong if he did not know what he knew, but they never did go wrong because he stopped them well ahead of time and nobody even noticed that there could have been disaster if one small mistake on those occasions had been allowed out of convenience and ease for fools and sluggards.

They would learn though, because he explained those subtleties and their importance because of consequences that would undoubtedly manifest much later, such as ten years or more. Then if those consequences should occur in that way, they would be catastrophic and extremely destructive to the kingdom. They understood the practicality of that knowledge, but not yet the wisdom. For that they simply needed to confront such a situation themselves, make a mistake, have it corrected, and be humbled when it happens. He was confident that if the should be in such a situation they would have the wisdom to be humble, because they were taught the ways of kings, which are wisdom, virtue, and compassion, and they knew being humbled was a great honor.

He had never fully felt in control of life, the future, or anything really, but he had always felt capable to do what needed to be done, and that had proven enough. That was how he felt the moment he died in the company of his beloved wife, children, and closest friends. Whatever may be in store, if anything, such as the judgment of souls some said existed, he felt capable and confident to confront it no matter what end may come.

What assured him with confidence was like that which he would have drawn in while leading his kingdom roaring across an empty field. Emptiness as quiet as the grave without the thunder of hooves and warrior courage racing headlong into battle and shaking the earth underneath. With death breathing upon their backs and overtaking them with the plunging force of steel and men colliding at the line of battle where blood is spilt and wars are ended in those glory days before he met his wife. It was the unfathomable love he felt for the individuals present magnified by that which he felt for all of creation and life itself returning to him and going out again with each breath the moment he took his last.
