Contrarian

God the Multiverse & Simulation

the Godly simulation

I have previously covered the topic of reincarnation

As a contrarian thinker and as an agnostic, i feel comfortable sharing my next idea 😛

I was watching an episode of black mirror the other day, and it was about simulation … then it hit me … what if …

There is a God, and the God have a kind of simulation to be able to judge the personality of spirits/people, and that simulation is a set of millions of parallel universes -commonly know as multiverse –

There must have been someone who have thought of this before, apparently not, thus i get to name this theory ! and i’ll call it “the Godly simulation

bonus:
+ What if dreams are the way we connect with ourselves in other universes.
+ What if we get to have a different physical appearance in these other universes / or even gender.
+ What if these other universes have another set of physics and biology laws … that would explain a lot of weird dreams …

 

I’m not a believer in this theory, but it’s worth reflecting upon. So why not!

 

Boys hate school, Girls love it … Broken system

So my 8 yr old kid was telling me about how his friend asked him to make a computer game of “this friend” kicking and hitting teacher, director and destroying the school …

When i said, but that’s not nice, why he wants to do that…
My kid answered ” because he does not like school”

I asked my son, “do you”

He answered “No”,

So then asked who else does not like school, so he named all the boys in his class,so i asked, what about the girls? his answer was “most of them like school”

Then i realized 2 facts:

– It is widely known that boys do not like school, while girls do.

– It is also known that there are much more female educators than male educators especially for the primary classes.

What if, this is the problem? what if the female educators are trying to educate the way they expect that they would like to learn …

Don’t get me wrong, my kid loves to learn, he is probably the most educated in his class, but that’s thanks to my work as a parent. For him school is boring.
Thus the question is not with the content but with the system of delivery.

Maybe the way the male and the female acquire knowledge are different, and if it is the case, studies should be done, to better take advantage of the potential of our kids.

Of course psychology and experts have found a million reason why our boys are dysfunctional, but have they ever put in question the method of delivery?

http://www.pbs.org/parents/experts/archive/2011/01/why-so-many-boys-dont-care-abo.html

School is outdated, many of the aspects of our society are archaic and broken, with the current progress, the school system should be overhauled, the education system should be redesigned to take advantage of the potential, but also to make our kids, all our kids, love to learn ..

the difference between current and potential is huge, making our boys love their subjects is basically helping create a better future.

But hey what could this contrarian guy do other than complain …

Feminism is Radicalism

This is my last blog about the subject of feminism, i have already written a lot about:

Equal pay, Gender discrimination in employment, Men emasculation, Rejecting censusWomen Objectification, Social Gender inequality, Business Lobbying ….

And quite honestly, i think my contrarian views are better expressed on other subjects.

In this last blog, i want to explore the source of the issue, that is the current Feminist movement.
As i said previously, in the past the feminist movements were trying to establish equality between genders, now the feminist movement is trying to establish superiority. This superiority comes in the form of Quotas and better Salaries.
For salaries: check my equal pay post, but it can be resumed in this way: Equal pay means a man and a women get same pay, even-though the women would give birth a couple times, and get maternity leaves, and the company would have additional costs to find and train temps while the women is on maternity leaves.

For jobs, now feminists are asking equality in tech jobs, check my gender discrimination in employment, men never did that.
To understand the logic, just look at ” Nursing” Jobs, in the past, it was a job 100% dominated by women, men did not ask to get quotas is nursing jobs, instead some males just studied the field and applied for the jobs, and with time the percentage of male nurses have become not negligible.

Feminism have been a great current for social change, from voting rights, to driving rights etc … Feminism still have an important role and some causes are fair, even though some are controversial, Abortions for instance.

Feminism was never about creating a struggle between genders, it was never us against you, it was never women power, it was about getting rights.

But Feminism now, is a current just for the sake of empowering women, is pure nonsense and is in fact discrimination, lobbying and radicalization.

For me i can’t see a difference in the 2 groups below, one is saying they will dominate the world, and the other saying they are the future > Same meaning different words!

Radicals

radicals

 

Gender inequality and discrimination in employment … lobbying 

A follow up to my previous blog post.

Here I want to highlight the recent pressure tech companies started getting to hire more females.

In the lobbying effort the feminist movement have been labeling the low number of females in tech companies as “Gender Inequality”.

In reality, the problem is that there are few women in STEM, maybe simply because usually girls do not like math and engineering domains, as a result, there are less female programmers and engineers than men …

As a result, Tech companies have to get an all female staff for marketing, Human Resources, and any other department that do not involve STEM, just so that they can increase their percentage of female employees … and that ladies and gentlemen is discrimination against males looking for jobs in HR, advertising or any none STEM field.

Another silent discrimination we all ignore, is when females get chosen over males simply because the boss find the candidate sexually attractive. Candidates for a job, should perform interviews and be recruited from behind curtains, and that is specially necessary for small and medium businesses where the owner is usually a male and they usually select women for jobs because of their looks, while when the owner is a female the women get selected as well because it’s easier for a woman to manage other women.

So this is a real gender inequality and discrimination issue.

 

update:

A comment i found online, in reference to a WSJ article, where Facebook is accused of gender bias, and i find the comment very relevant to this article:

“According to the analysis, female engineers received 35 percent more rejections of their code than male engineers. ”

Explanation for this couldn’t possibly be that female programmers simply write crappier code, could it? And it is not possible that this is linked to companies being under pressure to hire more females just to improve their gender ratio, even if it means giving the job to a less skilled candidate?

Of course we shouldn’t even consider the most obvious and direct explanation. Females are never responsible for their outcomes. Unless their outcomes are positive, of course. Then it is proof of their superiority.

If code written by female programmers was rejected 35 percent *less* often the spin would be that female programmers are better and that companies would be smart to hire them over men.

Equal Pay is Not Fair

Today it’s International Women’s day, so I have a couple blogs to share about different issues.

First I wish to tackle the Equal Pay cause.

Equal Pay have been one of the battles of Feminists since some time, and actually it is completely and utterly wrong, and here’s why:

1- The salaries are usually negotiated, so every individual have the possibility to accept or reject the salary.

2- Women have more away of work time, like pregnancies, pregnancy leaves, sick kids … that poses problems for the employers, especially during pregnancies, when employers must find and train substitutes.
Simply put, to compare 2 salaries, you need to have same conditions, and when hiring women and men, these same conditions are not there. When plotted business wise, you have men that take x days away from work/year and women that take y days away from work/year. And y is always more than x, and sometimes can be multiple of x.

Here you go, that’s why men get paid more than women, and that is fair!

Morality for Athiests 

Many say religions are bad, I disagree. With the exception of extremist currents, I think religion is good for the masses.

Why ? you might ask …

Well, religion simplifies morality, it makes it so simple that even the dumbest humans could understand …

In almost all religions: you steal, you kill, you do bad things you will be punished by God/gods …

It take it even farther, you do good , you get rewards, like paradise etc …

Result > more people doing good and less people doing bad things.

Now, if we remove the religion factor, and ignore the criminal justice in a given country, things get complicated.

For example, how morality should have any effect on an atheist ? 

– stealing ? Why would that be wrong ? Some would rationalize it if they want.

– murder? With the human history full of savage barbarism, don’t think it’s hard to rationalize murder …

– Corruption, lies, cheating, Scam…. easy to rationalize 

In all honesty, for people that do not believe in Devine laws, morality becomes a personal struggle …

However, it is easy avoid this struggle especially concerning the minor “sins” …

Once we understand that small steps can lead to a destination we don’t want to go to.

Meaning, once we understand that small bad actions will lead us to normalizing them, and eventually lose part of self respect.

Example, the shoplifter, who continues shoplifting will probably end up becoming a criminal.

Thus Morality should be seen as a way to avoid becoming bad. 

Our brain always seeks validation, that’s why we rationalize, but if we mark clearly that such minor actions lead to this result, then the actions would be clearly rejected by our brain, not because of morality, but because of self validation.

Women’s March Against Trump?

There’s something amusing happening around the world …

There’s few dozens women’s marches taking place in several major cities …

The amusing part is that it’s women’s marches, why it’s amusing ? because they are objecting the democratic election of a US president.

So these chicks either don’t understand the word democracy, or have a problem realizing that they will not get what they want!

In other words, these are the “empowered” women that have been holding the flag of emasculating men for a long time, and now they are not happy that a women wasn’t able to get the throne.

Again, i’m not a Trump supporter, i’m not even American. I have no idea what kind of president he will be, and honestly don’t care!

This post was intentionally written in a male chauvinistic tone, because let’s be honest what’s happening is childish.

 

Edit: Having reflected on this subject for more than 10 minutes, i realize why women in general are expressing their disapproval of trump presidency, whether image wise -trophy wife- or more concrete subjects -abortion aid ban-.

The last of the real men !

I would like to classify this in the category of contrarian thinking, but in reality this is simply freethinking, basic logical analysis.

What differentiate a man from a woman, well, go to any gym and you’ll immediately spot the difference, the average woman is training with a 1 pound dumbbell, while the average guy is training with a 40 pound dumbbell.
Men are bigger, much stronger and with a hormone that makes them more aggressive and more assertive, all these qualities where the reason why the human history so far was mostly if not entirely written by men.

But things are changing, the feminist movement, which was born to give the women their rightful rights of equality, have with time morphed to become a freak that works hard to strip men from their manhood. Yes, it’s no longer about being equal in the eyes of society, now feminists are waging wars to denigrate men’s instinctive behaviors, lobbying for equal job opportunities in sectors where females under-perform, and downright trying to reshape the male ideal image towards  the image of a woman with a d#ck!
The new image of women, is that they should go out try few dozen men, the settle on a guy whom they can basically control.

Since when women wear the pants in the house ? In eastern society this is a laughable situation, in western society this is the norm!
Since when women should have so many sexual partners, and why the heck should men settle with these modern day wh@res!

Yes for equality as citizens, yes for equality as partners, but hell no for trying to pacify us! The feminists are pushing towards the extension of Alpha males, why ? Because these Alpha males are ridiculed, and accused of sexual harassment!
Let me give you a couple examples:

Cat calling: Defined as a whistle, shout, or a sexual move, is considered as sexual harassment, across the US the laws/punishment for street harassers falls into the hands of the state. In Illinois there are laws that relate to street harassment. Laws such as disorderly conduct, intimidation or soliciting a sexual act can be used in court if a report is filed. All good, till you realize that this is probably how your grandparents met, and your grand grand parents met, and so on to the beginning of early communities. So in theory if you see a beautiful girl walking and you tell her she’s beautiful hoping to be able to get to know her, you can end up in jail. But then we wonder why some guys have problems finding dates, or worse we rely on websites to find us life partners (don’t get me wrong, i run several dating site, i don’t want to spit on my food, but that’s not natural!).

Mansplaining: When a guy interrupts a girl, and tell her let me explain, well, there’s a reason why he interrupts, as you might have noticed many women can’t stop talking (some men too), the feminist love to use this term to ridicule men that exhibit some alpha male behavior.

Dear feminists, you want real equality ? earn it! push for no makeup and no breast plastic surgery. Ask for women to be chosen for jobs when they have no makeup and are in descent clothes. Yeah, don’t take men for fools, half the jobs women get are based entirely on their fake looks, you want real equality ask the women of not taking advantage of their sexual image to get things done!

Here’s the qualities of real men (funnily none of these are major qualities for women):
– A real man do not gossip
– A real man’s word is his bond
– A real man is the man of the house
– A real man can and is willing to defend himself and his family.

 

Freethinker VS Contrarian thinker

I have labeled myself a freethinker since many many years, to be honest, i was born a freethinker, and did not really coexist peacefully with rules and general opinions. But as i got older and hopefully wiser, i started noticing that being a freethinker is not enough, being a contrarian thinker fit me even better.

But really what is the difference and what are the similarities?

Let’s take the definition of a freethinker: A free thinker is defined as a person who forms his or her own opinions about important subjects (such as religion and politics) instead of accepting what others say. Freethinkers are heavily committed to the use of scientific inquiry, and logic.

The definition of contrarian thinker is: A contrarian is a person who takes up a contrary position, especially a position that is opposed to that of the majority, regardless of how unpopular it may be.

So to be a contrarian thinker, you’ll need to be a freethinker, but that’s not enough, you’ll need to have the courage to say out loud your opinions, regardless of how unpopular they are.

To understand this you’ll need to visualize yourself within a group of people defending an idea, that most find unacceptable.

For example, the champion of contrarian thinking, and my personal hero, is Peter Thiel, this guy is really unpopular these days, especially after expressing his interest in young blood transfusion

But as a contrarian thinker true to his nature, he is going after what many consider a taboo, but at the same time, if this science works, it would be a great scientific achievement.

There are so many practical solutions to world problems that are not considered, due to political correctness, human emotions, etc … Contrarian thinkers need to start knocking and showing the way, maybe the world would be reasonable again.

 

Reverse Human Migration

This blog post belong to my contrarian thinking series …

Humanity have successfully built a system to motivate individuals to work hard, and that’s good, except the majority of the human population have fell victim to this system, and this system is based on money and land ownership.
Earth is a planet that belong to all it’s creatures, no one creature can claim ownership of a specific part or terrain, from this perspective all states/countries and land ownership are fictitious.

This land have existed for millions of years, and it is capitalistic absurdity to even imagine that a person or a group of people have ownership on a land, region or country.

We are just a bunch of evolved monkeys that have migrated throughout the world and claimed ownership on the lands we inhabited, then some of the smarter ones appointed themselves kings, or declared themselves owner of the lands …

Then the next generation of smart monkeys, printed papers and convinced us to use them for trade, and the newest generation of smart monkeys realized they do not even need to print money, and are creating fortunes through the bank systems.

Have you noticed anything wrong with this picture? it’s all fictitious…

Let’s get back to the migration topic:

Past migrations / Early migrations:

The modern man originated from Africa, he migrated throughout the world in search for better environments, the modern man encountered a lot of humanoids, they mixed together and sometimes competed and fought.

below map shows the migration of the homo sapiens sapiens – or modern man
Spreading_homo_sapiens_la.svg

Another Early migration that took place is actually a reverse migration: when Eurasian farmers migrated to Africa 3,000 years ago –article

Hundreds of migrations have taken place since then, human migrations were initiated due to different reasons.

Current migration:

Current migration has some similar causes like the previous ones, mainly wars, and the search for a better life.
And, thanks to fast spread of information, these days migrations are often more polemic…
for example immigration to Europe , Syrian Refugees problem

 

Reverse migration:

Logically, the human should be searching for a better life, and that does not mean only better salary, but also means a better climate, and a less stressful nature, from this perspective you would understand why most of Europe’s Rich people go to live in Spain and the French riviera, while most of the US rich establish home in Florida, California and co …
What i find strange though is that very few people -not rich- decide to go live in countries where the weather conditions are favorable, especially when these people go to retirement.

It might not make sense for a family with kids to leave a rich European country to establish home in a poor African country, there are usually a lot lacking compared to the Western standard of life.
But it would make a lot of sense for an early 40’s or late 40’s couple to do that, i mean the money they have would be more than enough to live the rest of their lives in many African countries, or even to launch a profitable business, but there are some problems …

Establishing home in Africa is not that easy, as a white person you are immediately assumed to be rich, and probably you are, compared to the local standards, and that is an invitation for trouble, meaning, being mugged, robbed or even killed by thugs or criminals.
This was the case for example for many westerners and also for Lebanese communities in some African countries, where political events led to chaos and led to attacks on the Lebanese businesses and communities 1 2
So the problems are thugs and criminals -criminals are everywhere in the world- , and sometimes political instability.

But the fact that there are Lebanese communities and more recently Chinese communities, should be an indicator that reverse migration is a viable option.

How to implement Reverse migration:

If the reverse migration becomes a trend, sooner or later we might see a reaction from the local population, wherever the local population is … People feel threatened of losing their jobs or competition stealing their clients …
The best way to implement and regulate reverse immigration is through bipartisan agreements,
for example there are a 400.000 Moroccan in France, thus the Moroccans should allow at least 400.000 French in Morocco … and so on …
This way, local populations know that the foreigners are here in an equal number as their nationals in the foreigners country, that would be fair and reasonable.

Side effect: that would reduce racial tensions between communities, as when an immigrant goes to a country, he is allowing a foreigner to go to his country, which is a fair trade…
