Something that's really been bothering me for the last few years is how strangely cultish both the radicals and the elites in our society have been becoming. Odd religious practices and symbolisms, apocalyptic imagery, attacks on mainstream religions of all sorts, etc. It's been sticking in my mind for a while.

Then I got in a discussion with a friend of mine regarding, of all things, info that came in on Reddit. Interesting content despite the source. https://archive.ph/5apLp

I opined that John Maynard Keynes wasn't really evil, even though his work has served as a basis for a lot of it. We went from that to Marx, and I brought up how both of them were addressing the point that the workforce was steadily requiring fewer people to accomplish the same tasks based on increasing technology. I said that Keynes admitted no solution and proposed patchwork to keep a crisis from turning deadly, and waiting for the economy to recover on its own, and that the only real end to the problem he proposed would be what both he and Marx were pointing at, a technological singularity.

She then brought in the Rothschilds influencing both of them. I said I was sure the Rothschilds were using their philosophies for their own purposes, but that they wouldn't want a technological singularity, since when everything is free, money is worthless and they'd lose all their power.

Then I started thinking of ways they'd try to keep their power that didn't involve money, and the only somewhat-reliable thing that would work is religion. Either infiltrating existing ones or creating new ones, and I suspect they're doing both. Even with no one needing to work there are a large number of people who are willing to listen to religious authority figures. Combining neurolinguistics into the mix would generate plenty of followers and allow them to establish dynasties around them.

Does it help you

Once the card was approved, the man checked out 50 books on topics that included Jewish history, African-American history and LGBTQ education.

The following day, CCPL heard from the Princeton University Bridging Divides Initiative (PUBDI), a group that monitors and reports suspected hate crimes on social media.

PUBDI informed CCPL that the man had posted a photo to a social media site April 3 that showed a car trunk full of books, with a caption relating to “cleansing” the libraries

Also just pulled the trigger on a 50 lb weighted vest. Made sure the weights were as up high as possible so the vest didn't restrict lower body movement ie digging into the legs during a squat, that the weights were bars instead of bags to reduce the size, and also managed to find one that was zipper based to increase on off speed etc.

Was trying to get together an at home routine that is less than 60 seconds to jump in and out of so I can do it at any moment. So I think I'll just end up with a 55 lb adjustable dumbbell set, 50 lb vest and some rotating push up bars. Main routine will be ground to ceiling dumbbell lifts with a squat with the vest. Then interweaving interval sets will either be dead lifts, dumbbell rows, or push ups with the vest. All done as 1 minute intervals with no rest.

I was surprised I could only do 20 push ups.. I guess I'll have to count how many reps I'll get in for 1 minute during the other movements but about 30~ reps to failure is what I wanted the resistance level to be at. So that's unfortunate I don't have space for a bench so I could do dumbbell bench presses instead!

Diffie-Hellman key exchange is a really cool trick and this video explains it clearly in 2'18"

Perhaps it needs to be longer, adding that (a^b)^c is the tiny number and a^(b^c) is the huge number. Diffie-Hellman uses the tiny number because it is a bit lame (a^b)^c = a^(b times c) = a^(c times b) = (a^c)^b

I like to make my examples with Common Lisp, because the fully parenthesised prefix notation makes things explicit. No stubbing by toe on what 3^5^7 actually means.

(expt (expt 3 5) 7) => 50031545098999707

(expt (expt 3 7) 5) => 50031545098999707

(expt 3 (* 5 7)) => 50031545098999707

(expt 3 (expt 5 7)) has 37276 decimal digits
