No worries, Ethic (can I call you Ethic?) my language is weird, as am I. Thanks for the admonition, I'm way behind you. But now I have an ethical compromise. I would like to use a wiki link on my new website, and is partly why I feel bound to contribute. The page is Neuroesthetics, as my art references Ramachandran's 8 point Laws of Artistic Experience rather well. I now hesitate to fund them until I get an answer on what their true principles are. But it will be hard to give up Ramachandran's Theory, I wonder if he's happy with it there..?
Most call me TES ('the' is meant in the subjective, and not self-identity context, although that is hard to glean as first blush - as my purpose is to define 'the ethical skeptic' as a standard, not really to claim identity as it).
I use Wikipedia as a reference often. Probably a third of the time, it is to show how social skeptics have infiltrated its integrity. But on most neutral subjects, those which do not serve to threaten their religion (see below), the format and address of topic is actually suitable to under-complete. The entry on Neuroesthetics seems to be pretty well done. It outlines the definition of the discipline, develops Ramachandran's and Zeki's Laws, approaches of study, history of the subject - and then ends with "Criticism" and "Future Direction". Awesome! I am not knowledgeable in any way about Neuroesthetics - however the structure of the article does seem in ethical praxis.
Subjects in Wikipedia are mercifully left alone by
this Cabal, under two circumstances:
1. The pin-head guerilla skeptics on Wikipedia do not possess the mental bandwidth to understand the discipline material in the first place. Nor do they understand the second principle (a tacitly enforced religion), inside which they are abused as useful idiots in order to enforce:
2. The subject bears no facet or element which could ostensibly be used to scientifically falsify Nihilism, as defined below: (please note that atheism, is about how one regards gods or God, only - most 'Atheists' are actually proponents of Nihilism in fact and deed; and specifically Metaphysical and Romanticist Nihilism. This is a little trick of Wittgenstein/definition they pull on society, to help conceal their malicious advocacy role.
One must ask them self, why would 'skeptics' obsess over Bigfoot, ghosts and the Loch Ness Monster? These are feckless, very low priority subjects, which really pale in comparison to our real topical needs for skepticism. Why do they obsess over specific minor impact topics? And if they are so invalid as topics, then why is their propaganda and doctrine surrounding them so well developed, and why has so much time been invested in their 'debunking'?
If a research horizon, risk, topic, set of observation or person threatens this narrative, or can lead to a subsequent pathway of research which threatens this narrative (even and especially inside Wikipedia) - then they will fuck with it, and they will seek to impart harm to anyone who opposes the following narrative (unacknowledged religion). They will harm your businesses, your family, your employees, your research, your finances and you yourself if necessary, in order to enforce this:
How it Works
Abused children are always hidden away and taught that they are worthless and stupid; that no one either exists and/or cares enough about them to desire their presence. Their captor loves them with a love which they could not possibly comprehend, but is Justly provoked by a past sin; and therefore now must by the integrity of this love, administer an awesome and righteous Justice. (“It puts the lotion on its skin!”) They are held in a prison, bullied and brainwashed into believing that they are isolated, receiving the Just ramification they deserve for being or doing something wrong to offend their captor/abuser. Religions used this approach effectively in the past to control thought. Secular Nihilism is crafted around the same approach they observed being effectively employed by abusive religions, because Materialist Nihilism is also an abusive religion itself.
In nihilism, you bear the original sin of being worthless and powerless.
The Ten EnDamnedments
We can no longer control them by means of hell threats/worship, cult social pressure and guilt. Therefore a new Charter is mandated as follows:
Human,
1. Your sentience and human intelligence have been proved to be exclusively an artifact of biological variation – iteratively mutated, survival culled, conserved along with a long history of precursor versions; replicated and expressed, all inside 43 randomly targeted, fantastically fortuitous, hyper-accelerated and first-trial-success blocks of your genome – comprising a mere 1 megabyte of actual novel allele data. This renders you nothing more than an extreme, single occurrence, fluke of nature.
2. You are isolated in an unoccupied far corner of all there is. Any faith holding a contrary idea will be mocked. Any discordant eyewitness observation or research you maintain, will be regarded as criminal pseudoscience. Your life as a solely deterministic flesh-bot is the result of single instance, accidental material chemistry and closed set energy. Therefore, you are alone.
3. Your lawless nature, the so called ‘free will’ and ‘self’, are proved to stem only from an illusion of neuro-synapse function. Your pathology inside this illusion renders you a wholly ignorant and pestilential presence on Our planet; unworthy to determine any ‘endowed, inalienable or certain’, health, diet, education, spirituality, domain, property rights or other supposed matters in defense of ‘self.’
4. Quantum Science predicts correctly that ‘you’ are happenstance through an infinity of possibilities; yet has also proved that upon this basis of ultimate plenitude, ‘you’ could not possibly have existed before, nor can you sustain in any form, nor can you ever naturally happen again.
5. We have demonstrated that We can re-observe you or anyone through Artificial Intelligence. There is therefore no need of an Other or competing Observer frame of reference, of any kind, which could relate to your presence nor bring ‘you’ to coherence. We are your only Observer and We can re-create you, or choose not to, at our whim.
6. As a pestilential weed therefore, you bear nothing special about you which would warrant an accommodation of life, liberty nor any pursuit of happiness. Your disarming and emasculation of power, freedom and unauthorized property is therefore now, a higher cause of social justice.
7. Only science is qualified to determine rights, beliefs, responsibilities, legislation and morals. A supreme rule through the fascism of science/governance is manifestly justified therefore, as your only ultimate option towards fealty. Any unauthorized ideas will be met with severe social, and eventually legal, punishment.
8. We are the science. You are not. It is our just right therefore, to hold you accountable by means of any deadly force, in order to ensure the greater and just good.
9. You exist and function at Our behest. There are no extant Other realms or intelligences which could hold Our Neo-Fascism morally or ethically accountable. Nothing exists through which you could understand differently, develop self, tender appeal; nor through which any other individual rights or societal morals could be derived.
10. Since all humanity now depends upon Our supreme rule for their justice-enabled existence, Our ruling entity must therefore be protected at all costs; including inevitably, the mutually assured destruction nuclear option. Therefore, you precious human, are collectively hostage in the game of ensuring that Our power (in all forms seen and unseen) is never toppled. We are more than willing to extinguish you, along with all this planet’s higher life forms, in order to defend and keep Our rule intact.
