The uproar over
weapons of mass destruction is a direct Meme-response to the limited-synthetic
security States are able to provide citizens against rouge nationless terrorism
or guerrilla warfare. The Department of
Homeland Security, NSA surveillance and foreign invasions at best provide
security based on faith.
How safe is a
person? The safety can only be verified
by a nonoccurrence which bears estimated likelihood that because such terrorist
events have not been common, that such terror will not occur in the
present. The safety-systems are often
granted false-credit for nonoccurrence, as if all non-occurrences are the
result of the safety-system. When
threats materialize, the threat is marketed to be an anomaly not a systematic
vulnerability. The U.S. and British
governments cannot guarantee or truly prevent such threats. At best the theatrics in response are
illusions to avoid the greatest threat: panic which results in chaos, which
could seep towards reducing the adoption-threshold of the Meme.
This is why the
U.S. and other global powers do not really participate in military humanitarianism. The U.S. may advertise aid to characters
labeled as innocents so that Americans may dub the American military-industrial
complex movements as Good and the regime being confronted as Bad. In many cases U.S. action is a direct result
of the title role of innocents and evil-doers flip flopping with the threat of
unleashed chaos towards the Global Power (U.S.)
Often Global Power security would be best served by doing nothing since
today's oppressed become tomorrow’s oppressors.
Afghanistan’s role
versus the Soviet Union in the Cold War compared to guerilla Al-Qaida
stronghold paired with Pakistan is the most glaring modern example. Conflicts in Darfur, Somalia, Kosovo, Sri
Lanka, Indonesia, and Vietnam etc. have created a string of post WWII conflicts
where the Global Powers have determined political apathy or selective
involvement based on the threat of spilt-over chaos to threaten the Meme rather
than humanitarianism.
WWII was possibly
the last major conflict predominated by my tank, plane, battleship against your
iteration in organized uniformed uncertain conflict. The Cold War showed the world the trump card
of nuclear weapons in the post Cuban Missile Crisis landscape where JFK’s
arrogance or dumb luck over the socialist threat and some defunct missiles in
Turkey almost led to WWIII. JFK’s faith
in Khrushchev’s desire to avoid mutual nuclear human destruction and the happy
near miss of a Radio Moscow broadcast avoided an apocalyptic event. Any significantly escalated formal engagement
of Global Powers via tanks, jets, and submarines is countered by what U.S.
citizens did to Japanese citizens in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and what might have
been if pre-emptive aggression had prevailed in October 1962.
Post WWII only the
world’s superpowers are permitted to have nuclear weapons. Israel is allowed to have them covertly
through the U.S. and Western Europe, but Iran cannot. Iraq cannot, any small country which might have
a score to settle for past or current exploitation cannot. The Meme requires such an imbalanced order. The Meme is repressing science and entropy to
manufacture this unsustainable pretext.
The zero-sum of
humanity and the U.S. chemical and WMD-hypocrisy was entrenched so that a level
of escalated panic and psychological sensitivity would forever be imbedded into
the American psyche by what line Americans are ready to cross. America has a collective guilt over dropping
the bombs and is thus more concerned that no party ever uses them again. Subconsciously America is aware that of all
countries the United States is due such a retaliatory blow even if the strike
is less likely to come from Germany or Japan. America has made sure to install itself as the
proxy military of both countries.
This leads one to
question the necessity of constructing and investing in tanks, jets, and
battleships. Taxpayer-funding for global-national
corporations like Boeing and Lockheed Martin mushrooms political patronage and
stock prices. Suggestion of
non-necessity is anti-Meme. This would
reduce the appearance of order over the marginal-order such investments
provide. This has to be weighed against
alternative budgetary uses of the funds.
This will be discussed in commandment seven on stealing later.
Global Powers must
be able to engage in a commensurate level of faith that one will not launch
nuclear warheads at the other. In lieu
of trust we have massive economic sanctions against those States deemed
untrustworthy. A lack of trust is
typically associated with countries with dominate religions-memes, which
contradict the religions-memes of the Global Powers acting as the driving force
behind the sanctions. However the root
is economic whether it be American democracy to Soviet or Chinese communism or
Wall Street to OPEC. Religion is primarily
a costume to commandeer the wealth-creation mechanisms and systems. The power drawn from control of regional and
global wealth ultimately determines the balance of trust. Such actions become entwined with money,
natural resource extraction, and most importantly preservation of the
Humans-are-not-Animals meme. The Meme
must preserve the appearance of order and the subsystems of maintaining order.

The work week is
modeled after the third commandment to allow observance of the Jewish and
Christian iterations of Sabbath. The
meme of religion becomes attached with commerce in such habitual
repetition. Labor during the week;
spend money and pray in services on the weekends. Workers alternate from caffeine to speed
through Monday to Friday to alcohol to slow down Saturday and Sunday.
The third
commandment captures the absurd falsities of the book of genesis on the origin
of the universe and planet. The six day
formation is a level of untruth unfit for retort. Possibly the greatest danger inferred in the
third commandment is the creationist ideology.
Modern humans, who deny Darwinism, evolution, and the true nature of
what we are and come from, do so in protection of their core god meme, which is
inside the Humans-are-not-Animals meme.
Faith is slathered on seven-fold to retort science with blind rhetoric
and nonsense such as, “Why do monkeys still exist if we evolved from
apes?”
Like climate
change, evolutionary science presents a roadblock to which theists often split
ranks. Most theists agree with
evolution. A lesser number agree with anthropogenic
climate change. However the point is not
to win over the deniers, for that requires no argument. The scientists of our planet have researched,
evaluated and concluded on compelling evidence in each case. (See the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC) A debate where the evidence of faith and
holiness are considered on par, if not trumps to carbon dating, thermometers,
barometers, hurricanes, forest fires, extinctions, deforestation, oxygen
levels, and droughts etc. is a farce.
Vehicle choice can
also be syphoned in the extremes across the Meme. The sports utility vehicle is pro-Meme with
its ride-high seating position, armor-like weight for overly fearful passengers
and disproportionate carbon emissions for many drivers who rarely if ever go
off-road. Electric hybrids are anti-Meme
with smaller footprint, eco-consciousness, and greater acceptance of the risks
of vehicle operation. One can group
mini-vans and motorcycles the same way.
One can extend this linkage to large quantity of progeny and small in
families. One’s indulgence in the
perpetuation of one’s genial line is often commensurate with one’s dedication
to the Meme.

Another
variant in human behavior tied to faith and the planet is vegetarianism. The religious/ sacrilegious idea of eating
human flesh in Catholic Communion contrasts with the traditional Catholic
forbiddance of meat on Fridays (the day that Jesus supposedly was killed.) The host is human body. The wine is human blood. The idea of god is a direct reaction to bury
the meme of cannibalism and animal-like murder between humans. The Eucharist both indulges the hidden id
urges for cannibalism and unleashes our animal nature while at the same time
framing the idea as sacrilege to preserve the insulation of the god-meme. One cannot eat the Eucharist alone; one must
be permitted by the Church (the Meme).
Diving
into the underlying rationale for vegetarianism, one can see it is not the
death of the cow; it is the excessive resources required to grow the muscle
tissue of the cow nourishing the consumer’s body. Less water, corn, land, air pollutants, and
time is necessary to provide similar nutrients through divergent plant-based (sun-energy-based)
means. The concern for health detriments
to humans from factory farming of animals is anti-Meme. To be concerned for the extinction of humans
or any mass death is anti-Meme. The Meme
can offer wealth to usurp such risks.
The
probability of human sustainability on the Earth is theoretically prolonged by
preserving Earth’s resources. Antibodies,
hormone manipulation, and harvesting animals are the more economically efficient
methods in the short-term. This does not
encompass the full profit equation for the negative consequences on the planet,
animals, or humanity. This is
pro-Meme. The consideration of these
variables is the underlying anti-Meme being addressed by vegans and
vegetarians.
The
very anti-Meme idea in the superego is seeing quasi-equality with all
life. Humans are openly viewed as
animals in the vegetarian and vegan memes.
However the extrapolated divergent consequence upon domesticated animals
incapable of surviving in the wild without human assistance reveals the root of
the vegan or vegetarian meme, which is to counter the Humans-are-not-Animals
meme.
Vegetarianism
is not solely concerned with the physical pain of the animal. In all likelihood if humans crossed a threshold
of vegetarianism or quit eating pork or beef all together, but still consumed
chickens, the number of domesticated farm animals of the no-longer eaten
species would plummet towards extinction without human intervention. Therefore the campaign for vegetarians to get
the world to stop eating cows is not necessarily in the genetic best interest
of the cows from a Darwinian standpoint.
One would have to adopt Gandhi’s one time sentiment, “Hitler killed five
million Jews. It is the greatest crime of our time. But the Jews should have offered themselves to
the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from
cliffs. As it is, they succumbed anyway in their millions.”

A
consciousness that life may end for scientific reasons does not sit well with a
theist. If god sent a meteor,
earthquake, or drought, these can be tolerated.
If man’s misuse of water tables and carbon emissions warms the oceans to
create massive hurricanes and raises sea levels and empirical scientific
evidence is presented to a theist behind a global consensus of scientists such
as the IPCC, then such evidence is often determined to be an inconvenient
truth, the talk of crazy men, too expensive to confront if true and too
difficult to change behavior.
All
of these responses are correlated with belief in god. Evidence has to be ignored or not-required to
believe in god. Faith is the
substitute. Therefore faith is more
likely to be applied to other issues or the absence of evidence in a theist’s
spiritual life creates overcompensation in how much evidence one requires in
matters of business, science and social interactions before trust if god is not
a variable in the equation of determined credence. One is found to be more judgmental,
skeptical, and to form unchangeable opinions.
This mirrors the escalation of commitment to faith. If a believer is confronted with opposing
ideas, the faith is doubled and redoubled to preserve the comfort. Infidels are despised and viewed to be
subjected to the harshest penalties.
Sometimes infidels are subject to worse levels of perdition than murderers.
The underlying
linkage between the faith required by the third commandment and concepts like
the formation of the universe and climate change is that if god did not make
the earth on such a schedule then the Sabbath is arbitrary and an invention by
man. If the bible is literal then this
is a problem. If sin is attached to
nonattendance on the Sabbath, then that is a problem. Nonattendance leads to lower tithing, which
is the underlying objective of commandment three.
To adhere to the
Sabbath implies a tithe shall be offered.
Some preachers even go so far as to instruct it is even more important
in times of financial stress to tithe.
Doing so will somehow assure god’s
graces. The more blood from the stone
the closer one is to god. Money ensures longevity.
Religion’s tax
exempt status in the U.S. is directly correlated with the third
commandment. Societies lose billions on
resources to institutions that provide some health and welfare work, but little
else besides placating the Meme to maintain societal hierarchy and order. Often diverted funds and more importantly
student and parental energies to private schools weakens the public schooling
systems making it more difficult for classroom environments to have a mix of
socioeconomic backgrounds. This expands
classism. Societal class-position
becomes ingrained. Religion is a primary
divider of people. Scientific ignorance
is often also perpetuated through religion.
If
god is assumed to exist; what if that
god is frustrated with being
worshiped? What if that god thought after creating everything,
why are beings wasting time congregating in buildings singing in festivals of
sycophancy? If that god somehow was to degrade omnipotence into the folly of a
human-like psyche, why would insecurity, jealousy, or happiness be mandatory
variables?
What
if under the Christian paradigm this was the primary intent of the man known as
Jesus? What if Jesus was to destroy
religion and assert independent volition of kindness over maliciousness? Jesus was to destroy eye for an eye (i.e. eat
or be eaten). Jesus was to assert
volition; daring to approach the anti-Meme.
The gospels were written not by Jesus but by men or groups of men in
lingering periods decades after Jesus’ biological attributed period which
divided the human account of time into B.C. and A.D. What if Christianity is a corruption of the
ultimate anti-Meme by the pro-Meme?
If
any such human asserts such anti-Meme messages and other humans followed, the speaker
would likely be condemned in the last year of B.C. or the 2013th
year of B.C. The storylines can be
debated, but the logical human reaction is displayed in countless examples
under the Meme.
If
such a god were to be angry, forms of
religious practice may draw rather than diminish such anger. The miracles of declared prophets are in one
fashion testaments to the limited imagination and prowess of such a god.
The third Commandment declares the opposite (i.e. god desires worship). In a
variant of Pascal’s wager this could prompt more wrath, not less. The Meme seeks to set the mortar of worship
firm, while the anti-Meme alludes that worship ranges from arbitrary to
detrimental. Does humanity not have
better things to do with our limited resources?
