On the subject of the logical umpire you are spot on.The logical umpire = new imput programming.New imputs will act as new additions to a balance scale.If the new input is: `Nah, don't bother man` - then the listener is influenced `not to bother`.

the kinda of change you're looking for isn't gonna come from people who want to argue about how the brain works (potential viewers may be "tuning out" because of it... too many notes!). what you're bringing to youtube is very very important and you're right... the world needs to hear it. these guys are not your audience... they're your problem.

they're never gonna see it your way, gary... they're not artists.

"""sounds like a religious crusade to save souls"""Fuck souls, I am on an efficiency campaign to reduce and prevent "suffering" (harsh deprivation) the ultimate Mega Evil in the universe.

There is a competition taking place within the Programming... the new (wisdom), the old (ape), and the really old (lizard), fight for control, and in my opinion, the only way the new can lose is if the logical umpire kicks the new in the nuts... and as the logical umpire is a manifestation of the new, that is really fucked up wankywankyness.

So- all will be better through political means- a new system embued with the almighty intelligence spirit- if we pray at the altar of equality- how is a good atheist boy supposed to react to something that sounds like a religious crusade to save souls?

If `brain` has been programmed to be smart enough to know better - then it knows better.If `brain` has been programmed to wish to do better - then it will wish to do better.If `brain` has been programmed to not wish to do better - then it will not wish to do better.

On the beach -I cannot say. I would do something. Take a swig of Cope or do some reducing.Looking back at `my` history probably do some reducing - but this would only be because `I` have been built that way. It would not be worthy of praise if `I` did or scorn if `I` didn't. Because `I` was not responsible for `my` programming.

inmendham (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)

"""but what can `I` do""" you can explain how you can be smart enough to know better, and yet not wish to do better...perhaps a Cope overdose.

for the sake of argument: If a war was inevitable and you had the power to say reduce the number of casualties by 100 billion. Would you just sit on a bench drinking a bottle of Cope, figuring the "I", that you is not, has no responsibility, or would your brain manage to inspire the meager motivation needed to throw a couple of "less mess" switches.
