Rasters A New Term For Mindless Ideologues

A Raster on a television is the picture you get when there is no signal only a random display of dots and a hissing sound. The television creates nothing and if left to it's own devices only amplifies random electromagnetic radiation.Likewise the brain of a Raster creates nothing and needs an input for it to be active.However like a television which will show whatever is broadcast to it a human raster needs someone to think for it .Whether it be hordes of cheering nazis or communists or people who think there are angels floating around they are all the same and if interchanged at birth would be championing another cause perhaps opposite to what they believe in now.A television will show a sports broadcast just as easily as a cartoon and it will be displayed just as clearly.Rasters create nothing and only repeat that which is told to them and they make up most of humanity.Rasters are invariably found in crowds chanting something or taking a solemn oath.

Metaticism A More Comprehensive Description Of An Economy

One thing which is a source of amazement is the willingness of people who believe that any description of the economy is incomplete to embrace a pejorative term for it's description. It is as if someone called you a thief then you then start describing yourself as a thief ! If you have lost the high ground in the war of terminologies then the battle is a rearguard action before you even begin.It is no wonder that people who believed in robot societies held the upper hand in the battle of ideas.In this case I am talking about the term capitalism which of course was coined by Marx to name that which he could not describe or predict. That of course is the interaction of free people and the resultant emergent ordering and wealth creation. He tried but failed miserably to offer a description and an alternative and the proof is in the disastrous states which adopted his theory.Likewise his terminology should be relegated to the same place in history as the failed countries which he is responsible for ie to the dustbin of history.The word metaticism more nearly describes an economy made up of many players constantly interacting and producing new unpredictible products and therefore interactions.Meta from about and ticism from an abbreviated form of dialecticism.However instead of two opposing forces combing to form a synthesis there are an infinte number of players and sets of sets of players which form the "economy" or a metatic society. As was shown earlier this set of interactions and their description must be forever incomplete.The word Metaticism more clearly describes the true nature of the economy and it's infinite sublety rather than the crude and meaningless term capitalism .

A Society Can Exist For A Short Time In The Equivalent To A Supercooled State

A supercooled state in a material is when the actual physical properties of a material are still in a preceding state even though the temperature has changed enough to warrant a new state.Sometimes a material can be below the freezing temperature although the substance is still liquid.All it takes is a shock then the substance will assume the form most appropriate to it's environment.Likewise a society can still maintain the laws of an earlier time based on the then current conditions.However as the society or beliefs change then the laws should change along with them but sometimes there can be a lag between the new popular reality and the old laws.At this point a revolution is at hand either violent or non violent.Western societies are approaching this supercooled condition as new people move there but the laws are still enforced as if the societal conditions are unchanged.Logically western societies will assume a legal and social structure reminiscent of the newcomers homeland.

Religion Without Personalities

For each person born there was one sperm cell and egg which joined together to from the nucleus of a new life.However at the time of conception there are many sperm cells competing to fertilise the egg each of them with the potential to create a brother or sister of who was actually born.Now if one hundred generations ago instead of who was actually born it was instead their potential sibling then the world would be a very different place.You and I would not be here but the world would and presumably people too.If for each person in succeeding generations all their potential siblings was born there would be trillions of possibililities of various people and their attendent world lines.A many worlds interpretation of cell fertilisation!The world would be unrecognizable in may ways and history would be much different in each one. Non of the great historical leaders both famous and infamous would have been born or religious founders either.Some things would be the same and that is what we are interested in .The laws of nature would be unchanged and mathematics and no doubt some social laws and people would still plant in the spring and harvest in the fall.However any traditions which were ungrounded in universal truth would of necessity be peculiar to one particular universe and it's inhabitants.We are not interested in customs or practices which are the domain of one potential world only those truths which are common to them all irrespective of their inhabitants.A true religion's message will exist for all people and will of necessity be independent of any personalities.It will span all potential worlds and be instantly recognizable by all cultures at all times.Religious leaders will demand anonymity because the truth they speak is extra personal and exists in itself devoid of ego.So why do religions speak of their founders instead of this truth.All religions today are intimately woven with their leaders who of necessity are peculiar to this world and are therefore incomplete. A true religion must of necessity be concerned with universal truth and be devoid of personalities.Any true religion will know this and it will be central tenet of their beliefs in yet not one mentions anything of this.

A Superior Ideology Must Of Necessity Be Low Entropy

A true way of life from the personal to the social must of necessity mirror the laws of nature which make the world possible .These of course will be the most economical in terms of action used and the most expansive in terms of starting out from the lowest possible entropy.Just as economic value has an entropy scale with the most valuable objects and processes having the lowest entropy likewise a perfect ideology will have the lowest entropy and continually expand not just itself but knowledge of the world.What it is and what it claims to be are identical which is the ultimate in economy. This makes it valuable and it can prove it's value and low entropy which of course iron age ideologies cannot since entropy for them was unknown.This proof will not only be in theory but in practice for all to see.The thing and it's description are identical. High entropy societies create almost nothing and what they produce is only copied from others.High entropy ideologies or religions produce high entropy societies where most of the people's time and energy is spent just trying to survive and cope with a plethora of rituals and petty superstitions. People move from poor high entropy trading societies to wealthy low entropy producing societies and how else could it be. Empiricism must be a central tenet of thinking not just stories and promises of rewards or punishments in the afterlife.This leaves angels and the devil as historical curiosities which were useful only in the context of illiterate uneducated people.The high entropy religions of the past created only cycling societies where the same rituals and technology were used over and over and have no place in the present.They are a danger to scientific progress and therefore untrue.A modern religion will harness the inherent superiority and desirability of a low entropy set of axioms and be obvious for the rational minded and be irresistable in the world.
