My One Rant for the Year for 10.1.10 - The UN Alien Contact Experiment

This article began as a post comment to Christopher Knowles' latest at The Secret Sun blog.

An article there titled
Something's Happening Here
(from Friday, October 01, 2010)

I quickly found my comment exceeding the 4,096 allowed characters in a post comment...
So rather than populate the Secret Sun's post comments with my thoughts on the matter, I've dropped them here.

Enjoy!


(a BIG Cheers to Mr Knowles for putting through the large comments over there as well!)
(If you ever get some free time, visit his extensive archives! Very informative and well written too!)

This time in world history is most fascinating...

But I can't help feeling that we may be the teenagers that had a wild party while mom and dad were on vacation!

A party that got a little more than out of hand and we've ended up trashing the place!

We're at a critical point in history where our (un)duly elected officials, governments and militaries have the ability to restrict any information under the guise of national security simply at the whim of corporate lobbyists and overly-powerful contractors.

A time when instead of any real advancement we are held in the 'status quo'.

Instead of remarkable energy technologies being introduced worldwide, we restrict, classify and disseminate to the most favored contractors and highest contributors to 'The State' and its various tentacles.

This is the time when (whether real or pretense) the promulgated knowledge of the existence of superior intelligent extraterrestrial life can truly be of benefit to us all!

Imagine, if you will, for just a moment, the difference that would be in a world where energy was freely available to all...

The current psychotic aspects of the Eugenics movement would be as dead as the people it seeks to eliminate!

There would be no more reason for mass kill-offs of the world's population.

The damnable Malthusians would have to find a new theory to espouse.

We would truly be a "free" world.

Imagine the untapped human resources and brain power that simply goes to waste daily because our current system of energy production demands our enslavement - and our unavoidable eventual devolution to nothing more than livestock - because educated slaves, as history has proved to us time and again, eventually revolt against their masters!

Science, real science, that works for the improvement and betterment of all mankind in every area of existence would be not only possible but the de-facto norm!

With energy available to all, We would experience near incalculable growth in our technology and innovation. Our food production, terra-forming and peaceful weather-mod technologies. Those along with a vast increase in the available brain-trust would guarantee that even double or triple our current population could easily be sustained on this planet - all could eat their fill off little more (or even less) resources than we now consume, with little to zero environmental damage!

All that saying nothing of the other worlds we would have the means to inhabit!

Instead, under our current energy production and trade system we are held to only destructive technologies. Technologies that benefit a mere handful, who, in order to maintain their seats of power and industry must dumb-down, enslave, restrict, control, and even eliminate large portions of the world's population.

Every single day we see these Malthusian "eliminations" occuring under the various guises of illness, famine, terrorism, warfare, and (un)natural disaster...

So...

perhaps, at long last, some measure of mental sanity has returned to the bureaucrats that awaken daily and believe themselves to be wise enough to truly control the Destiny of the World.

Perhaps they are finally coming around to the side of management through "creation" rather than "destruction".

Heck, we've tried all possible world-management experiments save one variable - free energy.

Its time has come and its time is now before the true insanity of our current system destroys us all. (which it, whether we fully realize it or not at this point, absolutely and most assuredly will!)

... and with that one change in our world economy, WE (a collective MANKIND) is free to clean house and make this planet Earth into something truly wonderful for everyone on it, in accordance with the highest ideals of the Will of the Universe in which it exists.


... and should any superior celestial 'mom and dad' eventually walk through that door, they won't find a trashed home filled with irresponsible and selfish spoiled brats existing parasitically but instead would find beautifully maturing children working diligently together, improving and thriving on this little blue ball (or other orbs) in the vastness of space.

A little optimistic, you say?

Perhaps it is!

...but true none-the-less!

and just to take the edge off an edgy subject...
Here's a moment of peace brought to you by what should be mortal enemies:

Happy PI Day - Hey, Thanks for Coming Around (UPDATE)

Official PI (partial):





Ancient PI ( π ):
22/7
3.142857142857142857142857142857142857142857......


Today, 3/14 is officially designated as "PI DAY"

Pi Day and Pi Approximation Day are two holidays held to celebrate the mathematical constant π (pi) (in the mm/dd date notation: 3/14); since 3, 1 and 4 are the first three digits of π. March 14 is also the birthday of Albert Einstein and the two events are sometimes celebrated together.

Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22, because of Archimedes' popular approximation of π being 22/7. However, this may be considered misleading, as all cited dates are "approximation days" (as π is an irrational number) and 22/7 is actually a closer approximation of π than 3.14 is. Typically, March 14 is more popular for countries using the month/day format and the 22nd of July is more popular for countries using the day/month format.

Sometimes Pi Minute is also celebrated; this occurs twice on March 14 at 1:59 a.m. and 1:59 p.m. If π is truncated to seven decimal places, it becomes 3.1415926; making March 14 at 1:59:26 p.m., Pi Second (or sometimes March 14, 1592 at 6:53:58 a.m.). If 24-hour time is used, Pi Minute occurs once, on March 14 (3/14) at 1:59.

There are a large variety of ways of celebrating Pi Day and most of them include eating pie and discussing the relevance of π. The first Pi Day celebration was held at the San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988, with staff and public marching around one of its circular spaces, then consuming fruit pies. The museum has since added pizza to its Pi Day menu.

The founder of Pi Day was Larry Shaw, a now-retired physicist at the Exploratorium who still helps out with the celebrations.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology often mails its acceptance letters to be delivered to prospective students on Pi Day.

Some also celebrate alternative Pi Days and/or Pi Approximation Days in addition to the two listed above; these can fall on any of several dates:

March 4: When 14% of the 3rd month has elapsed.

April 26: The Earth has traveled two radians of its orbit on this day (April 25 in leap years), reckoning from the start of the calendar year on January 1. Thus the entire orbit divided by the distance traveled equals π; two radians equals 1⁄π of our orbit. This is celebrated exactly on the 41st second of the 23rd minute of the 4th hour on April 26 or the 116th day. (In leap years, it is celebrated exactly on the 3rd second of the 2nd minute of the 12th hour on April 25 or the 116th day.) This celebration is not a Pi Approximation Day.

[the second occurs 116 days later on August 20, (8/20 day 232) - astute observers will note that the 2 days fall in the only 2 months of the calendrical year to begin with the letter "A" in the english language...
Letter "A" is symbolic representation of the COMPASSES, a tool used to draw a perfect circle.]

November 10: The 314th day of the year
(or 11/9 (mm/dd - USA) or 9/11 (dd/mm - EU/CANADA) in leap years).

December 21, 1:13 p.m.: The 355th day of the year (December 20 in leap years), celebrated at 1:13 for the Chinese approximation 355/113.

On Pi Day 2004, Daniel Tammet recited 22,514 decimal digits of π.

On 12 March 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution (HRES 224), recognizing March 14, 2009 as National Pi Day.

So a big Thank You to the House and Resolution number 224 (HRES 224) for the USA National PI DAY!

On Pi Day 2010, Google celebrated by changing the logo on the search engine's home page into a Pi related sketch up featuring Pi and other mathematical symbols.








Happy PI DAY to all the Strange Eye readers over the past year!
(and Happy PI DAY to you Mr. Shaw!)

Here's a couple of links to past PI related work on Strange Eye:
