Forgot this stuff, sorry:

Aviation:

• you need ALL of Mike Busch’s books!
• Barnaby Wainfan, at Kitplanes: read ALL of his stuff. I disagree with some points of his ( & consider his faceted lifting-body aircraft to have been needlessly unsmooth: I like Mike Arnold’s ultra-low-drag paradigm! ), but he gives you sooo much understanding, that you simply aren’t competent in this domain if you aren’t understanding the stuff he’s giving.
• S-Glass is nearly as stiff as carbon, but MUCH tougher: consider it for your wings.
• E-Glass is radar-transparent, the other composites generally aren’t: make any radome of it.
• Turbine-engines cost about 10x as much as piston-engines, to buy, but maintenance-intervals can be MUCH greater, which is why commercial operations like them.
• All aircraft NEED redundant angle-of-attack indicators: fly that indicator, & you’re safe: nearly-all the final-approach-crashes due to stall would have been prevented with AoA-indicators on the flightdeck. ( the McDonnell Douglas 737Max fiasco is because McDonnell Douglas, now falsely-labeled as “Boeing”, they did a reverse-takeover from the inside, after the merger, allowed only 1 AoA-sensor on the airframe, & if that reading went wrong, the avionics highjack the aircraft from the pilots. People died. IN AVIATION, REDUNDANCY SAVES LIVES, for critical-avionics! )

Boats:

• there is the Kelvin Wake Angle that you need to understand: it is the angle from the longitudinal-centerline of your boat, out at an angle, along-which your wake’s peak lies. It is 19.5-ish degrees ( 19.47, iirc ). For multihulls, you NEED to make-certain that that angle doesn’t go from the bow of 1 hull to touch or get too-close to any other hull: it NEEDS to have space, xor you’re creating needless drag. Also, for slenderness, you need to be able to create that angle from your bow, & NOT have your bow’s bluntness violate that angle.
• the LWL:BWL ratios ( Length or Beam, WL means WaterLine ) of interest for multihulls are between 8:1 & 12:1. Going longer than that, as Gerr pointed-out, gives you too-much skin-drag. People who’ve studied aircraft-design know that you want the skin-drag to equal the other kinds of drag, because that’s your minimum-drag. Making a hull 18:1 means you’ve got less bluff-drag, but you’ve got waaay-more skin-drag, so you’re losing, in the displacement regime. Hydroplaning boats are different. Wave-piercing speedboats are different. The multihull designers generally target 9:1 because it really is an optimum LWL:BWL.
• Silicone-Silane is the ONLY anti-fouling that people ought be considering, nowadays ( “Silic One” is 1 brand of that kind of stuff ). NOTHING else works as well, or is as slippery for reducing drag.
• After you’ve earned you real-competence, & now you want to instantiate a business, you’re going to need ABYC membership, & if you’re wanting to sell into the EU, you’re going to need the ISO/DIN standards, which will cost you … about $30k, so you can make your designs compliant with their regulations. They intentionally constructed their standards to enforce as much buying-of-other-components-of-their-standards as possible. To me that is anti-economic-flourishing: putting needless barrier-to-entry, but they’re the ruling institution, so they get to make their economy obey their authority.
• The 1st implimentation of a boat, that vessel’s name, becomes the model’s name, so if you want to control your boat-names, then you can’t have your customers deciding on the name of the 1st implimentation of a design, can you?
• NOLO press makes books on intellectual-property, including Patent It Yourself, which includes a section on getting EU patent protection. Give yourself perhaps a year to get through that book: it’s technical stuff, and there is one hell of alot of stuff to know, in patent-applications, in order to not need to hire ( for $10k+ ) a patent-lawyer for your single application. EU patents are covered in a section of that book, but EU patents cost WAAAY more than North American patents, per point-of-application, or search, etc.
• look at the designs of Cape Falcon Kayaks: they’re elegant in ways that nearly-no boat-designers would do.
• look at the designs of Dave Gerr, if his site is still up, & see how solidly good his work is, compared with normal
• BoatDesign.net is the primary place for boat-design discussion, though … I think it was called “sailing anarchy” was a competitor to it, don’t know if they still exist ( don’t know if either still exists, actually )
• you need to study & understand composites, if you’re doing that, & I’d recommend studying some of the stuff from the aircraft-domain, too ( I got Niu’s composite-airframes textbook ), so you get much-better-than-DIY-“information” about what’s proper. 2" radius minimum for composite-carbon, & that may be pushing it, & you CAN’T mix reinforcement-fibers & get the benefits-of-both: you get the disadvantages of both, not the benefits… this one’s important & non-obvious, so I’m breaking it out into a discussion, not just this little list-point…

Say one has reinforcement-fabric with graphite fiber going east-west & kevlar going north-south.

Then the next layer is with the graphite going north-south & the kevlar going east-west.

Now vacuum-infuse it, so resin spreads forces between all the fibers…

What happens when the temperature rises, in hot sun?

The kevlar SHRINKS. Kevlar has a NEGATIVE Coefficient-of-Thermal-Expansion ( CTE ), but graphite’s is close to zero, & epoxy’s is positive…

So, now your layup is stressing, because some fibers are shrinking, & others are not, & the matrix is expanding.

Worse, when you try flexing it, kevlar isn’t stiff, so NO flexing-force is going onto those fibers, ALL of the flexing-force is going onto the graphite.

But did you calculate your layup so the graphite fibers would be able to take all the flexing that your piece needs to bear?

If not, now it’ll break.

In composites, the stiffest fibers resisting flexing, are taking ALL of the stress of that flexing, until they break, then the next-stiffest are taking all the load.

Mixed reinforcement-fibers is IDIOCY, but you can buy many brands of differently colored aramid+carbon reinforcement-fabric, from many vendors.

It is Niu’s composite-airframes textbook that caused me to know that, & the industry is pushing snake-oil bling, instead.

The only 2 cases where mixed-reinforcement-fibers makes sense, are

1. entirely-cosmetic pieces, which bear no structural load, &
2. pieces where you’re orienting all the stiffest fibers in 1 particular direction for stiffness in that direction, & you want flex in the other direction, so you use e-glass or something in the bendy-required direction.

Oh, & graphite-fiber’s just thinner, stiffer carbon, generally. Processed at a higher temperature.

There: hopefully I’ve given you enough so that you can compete against me better, in the future.

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?

IF that link is about fecal-transplant, to put a healthy biome into people,

THEN just taking a good pro-biotic, instead, puts a good microbiome into one ( cures diahrea in 2-ish hours ), if one takes it with a probiotic-supporting meal ( like one’s favorite diverse meal, including each of the kinds of food one eats, some starches, some proteins, etc… ), seems FAR saner, in my eyes.

The whole “you need a fecal-transplant procedure” thing is a scam, in my eyes, because pro-biotics provably work, after one’s gut has gotten borked ( by food-poisoning, by antibiotics, by whatever ), & it works in mere hours.

Repeatedly good pro-biotics have un-wrecked my gut, after things like food-poisoning ( & I’m a guy who’s racked-up 7+ years of outright-homelessness, so food-preservation isn’t always possible ).

Dad had been a medical-researcher: he taught me to think.

Getting the right diversity of microbes ( you need both Lactobacillus & Bifido strains, multiple of each ) in one’s gut doesn’t, in any way whatsoever, require any clinical-procedure.

It requires a good bottle of pro-biotics, of a good, trustworthy brand.

Doing the experiment is something that people can do on their own.

https://xkcd.com/2501/

Understanding that you need more conductor-cross-section to carry more current’s sooo fundamental to me, that that itself is a problem, obviously…

I’d presumed that telling people to go search for AWG that can carry whatever-current, would be enough…

The 14AWG point, though, should do for apartment-dwellers & normal home-owners.

( seriously, if you’re doing some kind of mega-installation, & you’re putting 20A circuits in, specifically for your amps, then you’d better be able to calculate Ohm’s law, for your speakers, & work-out what currents are required for them )

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_school_of_economics#Fundamental_tenets

The only-the-individual-is-real, collectives/groups do not either think or act, as agents, is spectacularly rejecting evidence.

The psycologist/psychoanalyst/whatever to dug into the question “are we individuals, or are we groups”, to crack group-therapy, discovered that both is the ONLY valid-answer.

In Marganalism, they’re essentially re-discovering that principle identified by the root-guru of the Christians, that if a person only owns 1 shekel, & they give that, that is IMMENSE giving, compared with some wealthy person giving what they didn’t care about, no matter how much that was, compared with the median-income.

shudder seems divorced-from-reality, the more I read about it…

There are 2 books which combined give the understanding that “economics” education seems to … ignore?

Thom Hartmann’s book “Screwed” identified, in its beginning, what was wrong with all the other economics stuff I’d read, simply & clearly.

& the book “Who Gets What, and Why” is on how markets work, & what their requirements are, which really gives a better understanding of what Hartmann was pointing-out, that the normal economics … consistently misframes.

A fundamental point is that among nature democracy is normal ( animals ).

Not representative-republic, but democracy.

Among post-agriculture humans, however, feudalism, whether monarchy-anchored, or oligarchy-anchored, or corporate-feudalism, is normal.

Why?

Human-nature. ( the dark end of it )

Force-dismantling that dark nature’s mechanisms-of-ruling … that’s going to take SPINE, if any portion of humankind finds the courage to do it…

Force-emplacing evidence-based fixes, no matter what machiavellianism does … would be beneficial, for the people in that regime…

but it would take spine.

Anyways, until now I’d only known about their Marganalism principle, but now I know they’ve anchored on a whole-set of bogus, contradicted-by-evidence, principles, & … I don’t respect that kind of thing.

Thank you for prodding me into reading a bit more about 'em, though: actual-learning’s necessary…

LMAO … I just realized that they held that collective-action isn’t real, WHILE CORPORATIONS EXACTLY ARE COLLECTIVE-ACTION.

That’s about as ivory-tower divorced-from-actuality as anybody could possibly get, isn’t it?

_ /\ _

I apologize for not explaining why I was investing-in putting all that there, for the person I was replying-to:

They were focused on the religion of the 1st-century followers of benJoseph.

Why focus on those followers, when the religion of benJoseph himself is ignored by all of Christianity?

Why not see the religion of benJoseph himself?

That is what my motivation was.

Thinks like Donald Spoto’s book “The Hidden Jesus: A New Life” identifying how central meditation was to benJoseph, & the Essenes being the only Jews around who had a “The Book of Meditation” ( mentioned repeatedly in the Dead Sea Scrolls stuff, but after benJoseph got back from the East, … they systematically didn’t include it in the scrolls they tried saving for future-generations. Probably simply because he’d obsoleted the whole book/scroll, when he returned. )

whatever.

IF someone prefers the followers’ religion to the root-guru’s religion, that’s entirely valid: it’s their choice.

But for mainstream stuff to systematically keep people in the dark about that root-guru, that I’ve got problem with.

As Elisabeth Haich explained, back then, people enacted symbols, so the “5000 fed, but lots of leftovers remained” symbolized that the teachings given them didn’t all get in, see?

&, of course, “baptism” is simply a symbol-enactment representing that ChildrenOfG-D/souls immerse themselves in universes, OceansOfAllPhenomena, & when they “come up” from that, they’re “returning home” to G-D.

The “Prodigal Son” parable was the same soul-immersing-itself-in-samsara, but told from a different perspective ( climbing down "Jacob’s Ladder, relying-on the “kingdom of the worldly, without” then turning, when hitting rock-bottom, to “the kingdom of G-D, within”, & climbing “Jacob’s Ladder”, see?

Same fundamental-meaning, just different appearances on it. )

See through the appearances!

See the universal, that the traditions are hiding-so-as-to-protect-their-importance.

The universal is what continuums/souls are.

The whole Abrahamic-religion presumption that G-D discards all of its children who aren’t within that religion-regime, Gospel of Mary torpedoes that: when the soul says to ignosis/soul-ignorance “you never knew me”, that’s the ultimate-truth: ALL souls return home, to their origin.

Religions which claim otherwise, … they’re rejecting the infiniteness of G-D.

Let 'em.

But don’t be fooled by 'em, see?

Anyways, that’s the motivation: anchor to the root, not to the branch, & get a more-universal view.

If you want…

_ /\ _

Here’s another: the hot-rod/car-racing field is CRAMMED with snake-oil, & the best information is sooo shoddily converted into book-form, that is nearly useless.

David Vizard’s books, & the related books on the domain, are important-to-study, but DEAR G-D is there a RIPE market for anybody who wants to convert all that shit-publishing into quality publishing…

That’s a contributing-factor to why the entire internal-combustion-engine aftermarket is mostly snake-oil bullshit, unfortunately.

I bet the entire internal-combustion-engine industry could have made their engines 10% more efficient, average, had they studied what the inventors/racers had published, & used that information competently…

sigh

the same is true for the general-aviation industry, as a whole.

Notice that the 2 absolute innovators in these 2 domains, were Smokey Yunick & Burt Rutan: anarchists who did more research-engineering than … pretty-much the entire rest of the industry.

IF you want to become competent in sailboat-design, THEN you NEED:

• “The Principles of Yacht Design”, get the most-recent edition of it.
• ALL of Dave Gerr’s books.
• Fossatti’s Aero-Hydrodynamics of Sailing, or whatever that book is called
• probably Nigel Calder’s books, to understand what makes a lifelong sailor value a design-decision
• Tom Cunliffe’s books, to understand the difference between excellent captaining vs “good enough”, & the implications of that, on the design
• a book on windvanes, if you intend to impliment one, on your design ( for cruisers )
• “The Rigger’s Apprentice”, by Brion Toss
• “The Sailmaker’s Apprentice” or something like that, can’t remember, right now…
• the North Sails book on sails/sail-design/sailmaking
• look up the Sharrow propeller, on yt, for power-boats ( annular-box-wing prop, for outboards: no cavitation! )
• Harry Riblett’s book on General Aviation airfoils, available at the Experimental Aviation Association, if you are going to do ANYthing interesting with hydrofoiling ( he nailed the ATR-72 icing problem last-century, & that airfoil’s problem killed an airliner in 2024, with NASA still not admitting the truth about that foil )
• Julia, the programming-language, for doing your math: better than spreadsheets, can use real math symbols, & you aren’t touching any part of the code that you aren’t working-on ( in a spreadsheet, a stray typo can distort the entire sheet, & you can’t find what it is that is skewing everything unless you’re seeing the whole sheet’s equations: it’s the wrong paradigm: error-accumulation, instead of error-eradication. Julia has a learning-track on Exercism, & has a few good books. )

Getting that set of knowledge into one, will save you thousands of wasted dollars, chasing “wild geese”.

For aircraft-design, I’d say begin with Snorri Gudmundsson’s book, NOT Raymer’s.

( Raymer is careless, & you will save yourself much frustration if you avoid his books. Snorri’s is on its 2nd edition, so I’m presuming it to be the go-to book for the industry, nowadays: I can’t afford it, & may not ever, but I wish I’d got Gudmundsson’s book, instead of Raymers, now )

You’ll need Harry Riblett’s book on airfoils, as mentioned above. https://www.kitplanes.com/the-airfoil-adventures-of-harry-riblett/ Notice that the Bearhawk has his foil on it, and its reputation is awesome.

You’ll need this video-playlist, in order to understand just how AWEFUL the interference-drag is, on normal designs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZhyjYE4Le0&list=PLO-XZZWFTH5ELMG3CECqMPZoEFREgwkPn

( I think it was 67HP & 250mph, in level flight, for one of Mike Arnold’s birds. )

Once these things by Mike Arnold & Harry Riblett sink-in, then the normal designs you see in general-aviation … become unconscionable: all that wasted-opportunity, all the needless drag-inefficiency.

Harry Riblett was using Eppler’s simple software, simple simulations, & nowadays you’d HAVE TO use OpenFOAM to do your simulations, XFoil mis-represents stall-onset, apparently, & XFoil is vastly better than what Riblett was using, years ago.

You NEED to understand both Bernoulli’s principle & the Reynolds number, in aircraft-design.

There are sites with video-training for OpenFOAM: CFD/Computational-Fluid-Dynamics’s complicated, & I’d recommend that.

It is entirely possible to design an aircraft, nowadays, on your own, using X-Plane, OpenFOAM, & the choicest study-materials, & YEARS of thinking on it, until your own unconscious-mind groks that-specific-component in the problem, then get digging on the next one…

Further, IF you take into consideration what Riblett & Arnold gave us, THEN you can do better than what most of the new designs in general-aviation are doing.

There is a video, which I now can’t find, on changing Burt Rutan’s Vari-EZ or Long-EZ aircraft to have blended canards, & it noticeably reduced the drag.

That is exactly the sort of thing that Mike Arnold instinctively understood, & if you begin with that kind of instinct, then you … don’t waste the opportunity that the normal aircraft-designers are enforcing.

You need to consider Prandtl wings, too, as that’s beginning to become significant in modern designs.

All the stuff I’ve realized in both these domains is affects patentability, & therefore I’ll not give you that: I want to be able to create a not-for-profit keiretsu which makes both sailboats & aircraft ( a keiretsu is like Panasonic: an organism made of companies, not a single-company ), someday, & patent-protection’s required to break the for-profit monopoly in both industries.

Sorry I’m not just giving you a bunch of answers, instead pointing you at competent-learning-means…

but the world really is better when you learn your-own way, & others learn their-own way, & the results are more … exploring-evolution’s-potential.

Both of these domains will take you under a decade to get from beginning-learning to where you’re really knowing-what-you’re-doing enough to become able to begin competently inventing.

Don’t expect to get to that stage in less than 7y, though.

It took me 8, before everything suddenly fell-into-place, & the different fluid-dynamics-interactions fit together, for different kinds of design, etc…

But I’d rather the world have other-people doing it, … than me knowing, but not doing it, & others thinking that university-courses is the only valid way.

LibreTexts.org iirc is also a place with some good information on it, in the aircraft-design space…

Whatever: IF anybody cares to earn competence in either domain, THEN I hope this boosts you into it, more efficiently.

If not, then just ignore this.

Use ANY shielded-cable which can handle the current, & has the right kind of connectors on the ends.

Period.

That’s the ONLY 3 criteria I care about, now.

That’s why I recommend Cat6A cable for the foil-shielding in it, to block alien-crosstalk, in ethernet setups: you don’t get speed-degradation-due-to-alien-crosstalk.

All the screaming that computer-speakers did, when a GSM phone was near them, that was due to lack-of-shielding.

Find any trustworthy site which lists AWG vs Amperage, & you’ll see what current you can put on that gauge of wire.

Match your current-carrying-capability, & don’t go overboard ( 2AWG for speakers for anything less than a DisasterArea concert, is stupid ).

( a litle context for people who see that I’ve jumped-in, in-depth, in multiple domains, in this post:

I’m autistic, retired-for-many-years, & fighting-off 3 waves ( in different decades ) of MASSIVE brain-injury, through thinking & forcing-healing … where the medical-profession ordered me to just drug myself into an acceptable psychiatric-zombie, on major-tranquilizers ( like Thorazine/Chlorpromazine ), & wait until I died.

I dig-into EVERYthing I care to understand, & am not satisfied until it makes sense to me, at the grass-roots level I want.

So, yeah: lots of stuff about competent-programming, philosophy sociology, speaker-building, science, space, religions, fluid-dynamics, engineering, functional-design, safety, management-processes, leadership, ALL kinds of stuff!

You get FAR when you spend a 1/2-century studying, while others are socializing, you know?

White medicine told me that me healing was just, itself, my psychiatric-delusion: “healing isn’t possible”, for the literal-brain-decimation I’d experienced as the 2nd wave of brain-injury…

I spent multiple-years much-of-the-time catatonic ( intermittently ), so I’ve been a human-rutabaga ( eyes-open, drooling, nobody-home, fighting-with-all-my-strength-to-EXIST-in-my-brain-for-hours ).

The reason I got better is because I finally decided that they were contradicting evidence-based-medicine, which they were, & set-about engineering healing into me.

I’ve had multiple-comments deleted from this site for “medical misinformation” when I describe the DOABLE EXPERIMENT that people with autism can do, to prove the mitigation that Walsh published, years ago, actually works, … so I’ll not bother trying again:

“evidence-based” medicine means authority-based medicine, as I linked-to with this: https://www.edge.org/response-detail/25433 … & Lemmy.World stands absolutely behind authority-based-medicine-that-calls-itself-evidence-based-medicine, I’ve learned.

That article became a chapter in one of John Brockman’s books, btw, so it isn’t “just” a web-page: it’s properly published, in a book, which you can see here: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/this-idea-must-die

Anyways, digging into a subject to “sufficient” depth has very different meaning for students-seeking-passing-grade, than it does for an autistic who wants to understand & command a domain’s meanings/knowledge-functions.

Anyways, as I’ve stated on another of my comments, in this post: feel free to block me, site-wide, so you never see any “pollution” of mine, ever again, when logged-in, here.

For all who don’t want to see any of my in-depth stuff, just block me on Lemmy.World, & the filter-bubble will protect you from perceiving any of my “polluting” your world, anymore, within-site.

For a perspective on what-was-benJoseph’s-actual-religion that is different, I’m asking you to please read these items, & see how they interlock excellently:

• the beginning of “The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible”, for the fact that benJoseph in the new testament names the bible the Essene way, & when I checked, it validated.
• a yt-channel has a video by “Paulogia” on Jesus & the Essenes

( you will notice that once one understands that benJoseph was Essene … then suddenly mainstream Judaism’s HATING him becomes … absolutely normal, doesn’t it? Essenes competed against the mainstream-establishment! )

• Cannon’s “Jesus and the Essenes” ( please disregard all Cannon’s beliefs, but simply consider Suddi’s tesimony. Suddi contradicted the Catholic-upbringing that convicted Pontius Pilate of evil-intent, but Suddi contradicts this? I dug into the Christian bible, & … in 3 gospels, it testifies how Pontius Pilate fought against rule-of-unjust-legalism, for rule-of-Just-law, & how he failed, & then washed his hands of the crime he couldn’t prevent … & in 1 of those gospels, after that evidence, it orders the believer to hold that Herod & Pilate were “of one heart”, which is a lie: they were on opposite sides. I’d never have noticed this, except for Suddi’s contradiction of what the Christian bible & the Nicene Creed, which also convicts Pilate, … had imprinted into me!
• Thomas Ragland’s “The Eightfold Path of Christ” ( shows how the new-testament is filled with evidence of Sutra Buddhism: benJoseph put that evidence there! Does it count? Not to believers, it doesn’t. Which is more-valid? benJoseph’s actual religion, XOR the religion that the believers make, about their root-guru? Your answer to that controls whether you dig with open-heart & open-spirit, or not, doesn’t it? in Science, one’s worldview MUST yield to evidence, consistently! : )
• Karen King’s, or Mark M. Mattison’s, translation of the Gospel of Mary ( they provide the 3 key evidences. Other “translations”, like the aweful “The New New Testament”, muddle it enough to prevent one seeing the key evidences. )
• Cannon’s “They Walked with Jesus” ( again, disregard her beliefs: no, the English-monarchy ISN’T the bloodline of benJoseph. Michael Bradley’s “The Columbus Conspiracy” identifies evidence that the Templars were guarding the bloodline, but he missed 2 key evidences: Columbus had Black crew, who were buried in the crew graveyard in the Americas, that they made, & also benJosephs’s “Father, Father, why have you abandoned me?” line, which would have been inevitable, after he broke his inner-yoga to get someone pregnant. His identifying of all the other evidence backing that bloodline hypothesis stands up much better, when you see the evidence he missed. Cannon had both machiavellian/malevolant & honest/good guides, & couldn’t tell which was which, unfortunately, so her stuff’s ALL over the place, for trustworthiness. Her Nostradamus trilogy is trustworthy, IF one keeps in-mind that Michel de Notradame was living in a different history/worldline than we are ( yes, free-will is physics-real ), … IF one does that, THEN … that trilogy becomes useful for helping solve/crack some of the historical-facts we’re right-now caught-in. Cannon’s other stuff? I avoid it, outright )
• Notovich’s stuff from Hemis monastery, on how benJoseph spent lost-years 1st with Hindus, then with Buddhists, before returning through Persia, to his old stomping-grounds… ( *which is corroborated by the esoteric-buddhist stuff in Gospel of Mary: “Space Conqueror” has ZERO business being in recorded in Judea, then, … but there it is. Eknath Easwaran’s “The Dhammapada” is the excellentest intro to benJoseph’s religion, AwakeSoulism/“Buddhism” that I know-of, & you’ll see that kind of language in it, so then you understand where Mary of Magdala got it from, … & the odd use of the word “powers” fits with Beth Jacobs’ “The Original Buddhist Psychology”, though that is screamingly-advanced science ( neuroscience’s machines & Buddha Gautama both described the stages in an individual perception down to millisecond-resolution, as she discovered in university ), compared with what Abrahamic-religions culture is used-to dealing-with, & the Stainless-doctrine ( when the soul says to ignosis “you never knew me” ) in Gospel of Mary directly contradicts “original sin” doctrine of Christianity… ALL of these evidences in Gospel of Mary corroborate Notovich’s stuff. I’ve also got an aweful travelogue-book by a Hindu who in-person corroborated Notovich’s testimony about that specific scroll being there, so the White rejection of it … is itself bunk ) here is one rendition of Notovich’s stuff: https://ocoy.org/original-christianity/unknown-life-of-jesus-christ/
• Mark M. Mattison’s “The Infancy Gospels”
• CJB’s “2 Kings” ( biblegateway has CJB, which isn’t as prone to over-interpretation for ideological reasons, … though it is prone to using incomprehensible Jewish terminology. I keep AMP & EXP open, sometimes, to help decrypt CJB’s jargon. : ). Elisha was the one who asked God for “a double measure”, & benJoseph was his reincarnation, with that double-measure. Elija re-incarnated as John the Baptist, from what the Christian bible itself says, in the new testament. ( notice the using-bears-to-kill-a-gang-of-threatening-boys, & compare that behavior with the “Infancy Gospels” stuff: it’s the same soul/entity! )
• glance at Eitan Bar’s books, to see what you find interesting…
• Mark M. Mattison’s “The Gospel of Q” which is simply beautiful.

In the end, it doesn’t matter what anyone believes: souls, aka ChildrenOfG-D, are a little like pinballs: they ricochet here, there, wherever, among their karma, what benJoseph called “what a continuum sows, that continuum reaps”…

If no-one checks that evidence-avalanche & sees what it’s saying, & accepts what it’s saying, that’s fine.

Natural Selection is UNIVERSE’s LAW, & IT will reap most of humankind, this century.

However, what the evidence is showing, is that the 1st of Judaism’s moshiaches/mashiaches, the benJoseph moshiach/mashiach, was benJoseph, the root-guru of the Christians.

According to the evidence, what the Christians call “the 2nd Coming” is at the same Punctuation ( between 2-millenia-long Equilibriums, or Ages, or “generations” ) as what Judaism calls benDavid, the 2nd moshaich: they both happen this century.

Eknath Easwaran’s “the Bhagavad Gita” ( recommended & is beautiful ) directly tells us that every “age” or “generation” ( benJoseph used the term “generation” to mean “world-age”, or about-2-millenia: each “day as a 1000 years” & “night as a 1000 years” is about 2 millenia, & there have been 6 of those “day”+“night” pairs since the FLOOD when the Laurentide-ice-sheet drowned all coastal-civilization from the North Atlantic, so the coming “generation” would be the “7th day as a 1000 years”, right? ) … every “age” or “generation” gets sent its own help by G-D.

THAT ties the help to roughly-now, doesn’t it?

Centuries-ago couldn’t possibly have been when the Rev predictions fulfilled, because the cascade-of-Industrial-Revolutions ( causing ClimatePunctuation’s acceleration to begin biting-in ) hadn’t happened, yet, right?

Please understand that I want you immoveably-disagreeing with me, if you don’t find what I gave here to be true: honesty’s best, for karma!

Anyways, from what I can see, seeing the 2-layers-deep-&-surface, what G-D has rigged, is that the benDavid moshiach/mashiach & the Muslim Al-Mahdi are the same guy, & that should “separate the wheat from the chaff” pretty damn well, here, through the “1st Seal” time, the time of Conquering ( the setting-up of the Empires, represented-as-3-serpents-in-Rev ), before the time of WAR.

The Christians, however, are going to have to wait until next-decade, for their promised 2nd-coming, which matches the time of the “2nd Seal”, the time of WAR.

The Muslims predicted the sequence correctly: 1st smaller help, for less than a decade, … then bigger help, the 2nd one staying for 4 decades or so…

Daniel’s “abomination which makes desolate” & the collapse-of-all-food-web-planetwide, in Rev, are also 2 distinct labels for the same stage in this-century’s future ( waaay later in ClimatePunctuation ), & the American Indians have scientifically-tesable-predictions about all this stuff, too…

The benDavid/Al-Mahdi guy is one they describe as being some kind of sky-galloping elk, who KNOWS what’s going-on, & teaches humankind the way of galloping ( on the inner-winds, the inner-abyss, climbing the inner-mountain ) “into the sky, in enduring galloping”…

It’s the same guy … just draped in different cultural “makeup”, is all…

Maybe the concept of 2 fundamentally-different-levels expressing “history” together makes more sense, with that last view added?

~ All the forest ( civilization ) afire, all the animals ( kinds of people ) were panicking, all over the place, there was 1 great bull elk, who stood calm, knowing, certain, & people began collecting around him, then he began moving, & his people stayed with him as well as they could, & his speed began picking-up, & his people were streaming out behind him in a great river, then his hooves parted the ground, & he began galloping up into the sky, his people following him ~

is an approximation of the American Indian prophecy about the guy that Jewish prediction calls benDavid, & Muslim prediction calls Al-Mahdi.

Same-guy, different cultural-appearances/labelings.

IOW, I’m saying that what’s going-on is HUGE, & individual-cultures are blinkered-views into this IMMENSE process, see?

“crazy” is what White-religion automatically deems Indigenous-religions, what Scientism automatically deems meditation, etc: it is usually just cultural-programming’s prejudice.

I happen to hold that there are 2 fundamentally-distinct domains that human-history has to be considered in, separately, in order to be able to understand anything properly in history:

• the profound collective-unconscious level, with its myths, its archetypes, its currents, its trashing-the-world-for-sake-of-its-egos-and-identities level…

• & the SurfaceMind level, of details that we pretend are the “causes” in history.

The most-perfect example of the deeper level’s action controlling our history … is that assassination of some guy which started WW1: it didn’t need to happen at the originally chosen place, it only needed to happen, & humankind’s unconscious-mind made it happen, even acting through complete-bullshit level of “mere coincidence” ( the guy being shot from a cafe, or something, after the hit-man had missed the original hit-location’s time, or something like that )

Therefore, the scientifically-testable-predictions in various religious-traditions, like “ecological collapse of both terrestrial & marine food-webs, lots more earthquakes & storms” is absolutely inevitable when it is dropped-into the original Industrial Revolution of the Roman Empire, because once humankind ( the category, on ANY world ) gains that, original Industrial Revolution, then Newton et al become inevitable, one “Age” later.

& once that later Industrial-Revolution cascade happens, … then ripping-out the until-then Climate, & altering plate-tectonics’s forces with the immense ice-removal ( thereby multiplying the earthquakes expression, during that ClimatePunctuation ) … all that becomes inevitable for the toddler-with-nukes species who’s living on that world.

IOW, that scientifically-testable-prediction can be dropped into ALL worlds who hit the original Industrial Revolution, and it will come true, inevitably in either all, or in nearly-all, of them.

The fact that that scientifically-testable-prediction happened to be in the Christian bible’s “book of Rev” doesn’t matter to me: it matters whether it tests-to-be-true.

Empiricism.

White medicine does authority-based-medicine-that-identifies-as-evidence-based, & Scientism is the same thing, only in Academia.

https://www.nature.com/articles/nindia.2015.148

White medicine is adamant that Ayurveda is only delusion, baseless “woo”.

NO amount of evidence will ever have any power to falsify that ideological axiom that White medicine stands on.

Here is an article, which became a chapter-in-a-book, calling-out medicine for being authority-based-medicine, while identifying-as evidence-based medicine ( but they didn’t have the spine to call it industrial/professional gaslighting, as I do )

https://www.edge.org/response-detail/25433

So, is it “crazy” to claim that evidence backs Ayurveda’s 3-fundamental-metabolisms & 4-composite-metabolisms, as White medicine adamantly insists it is “crazy” or “woo” to claim??

XOR is it in contempt of integrity to disallow evidence, because one’s ideology prohibits that, while gaslightingly identifying as evidence-based knowing, of any kind?

HERE ARE OVER 8000 SCIENTIFIC-PAPERS WITH “AYURVEDA” IN THEM, THAT WHITE-MEDICINE IDEOLOGICALLY-DISALLOWS:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=ayurveda

Also search for Prakriti for some that are missing from that set, but not many, if you want the evidence based medicine.

All this to say that human-reality is SOOO deeply-complex in cause-effect relationships, that the sorts of things that the person you’re calling “crazy” may well be accurately describing a set-of-forces that is simultaneously beneath-our-notice and violating-our-prejudices, and be both accurate & precise in its being true, to some significant degree.

Finally, here’s a treasure, from the Christian book of Rev, that has nothing to do with religion:

John of Patmos, the Rev guy ( different from the gospel guy: totally different writing-style ), wrote of being given the Book of Truth, to eat…

so, he ate it.

It was syrupy-sweet in his face, but bitter in his belly.

Why?

Because superficial-truth, apparent-truth, ideological-“truth”, mere-idea-truth is syrupy-sweet, in one’s face,

but completely digested experience-induced-understanding is bitter, in one’s belly.

That bit in their bible was giving us one of the most important & profound PSYCHOLOGICAL truths around … and apparently nobody recognized it for what it was.

It wasn’t just “religious nonsense” as many held all to be, it was incisive required-for-growing-up Truth, of the psychology domain, right there, for all to have.

But it was seen only through “religious” glasses, & therefore rejected, even though its truth is both testable & obvious, once one has understood the meaning for what it is.

Wisdom once instructed us: “1st seek to understand…”

That consistently is true, though it also is true that once one has true understanding, one does have to act, to cut-from-our-world disinformation & machiavellianism, & narcissism…

The dimensions-of-human-evil that I’ve found testably-exist are, so-far:

• narcissism
• machiavellianism
• sociopathy-psychopathy
• nihilism
• sadism
• systemic-dishonesty
• displacement-of-objectivity-for-ideology/prejudice
• displacement-of-considered-reasoning-for-ideology/prejudice

Contrast that with the psychology-profession’s “Dark Triad” of narcissism/machiavellianism/psychopathy, & you see they outright reject many of the dimensions I’ve found testably-are dimensions of human-evil.

( yeah, that-too is specialized-knowledge that few would know, IF one takes it to be knowledge, as I do, … or as bunk, as Establishment does.

Empiricism, however, isn’t established-majority’s rule: it is Objective Truth’s rule!

Muhahahaha, eh? : )

That ice is piezoelectric should be considered with that experiment in space, where they discovered that free electromagnetic-fields reach WAAAY farther than we’d presumed…

It means we’re mis-framing electromagnetic-influences here down on Earth, in some sense…

( by this all, I mean that the piezoelectricity of ice may have MASSIVE effects for comets, but little for Earth, where MUCH stronger-signal overwhelms it,

but … in biochemistry, it may well create an entire dimension of ecological-niche-ness that we’d been blind-to, in polar ice!

& that may increase the ecological-niche-complexity of Europa, e.g. )

NYT’s an institution, it isn’t that its journalism is better-quality or better-integrity…

I remember in the US elections, NYT was … silent … on the Progressive’s issues, & voices…

They were suppressing them, systematically…

I found this infuriating, because for me the difference between Journalism & “journalism”/propaganda is a religious issue:

Integrity’s a REQUIREMENT, self-inherently!!

Anyways, a few years later, a brainrot show called “Joe Rogan” had a guest on, who identified that CNN & NYT intentionally “shut down” ( his term ) the Progressives, including Bernie Sanders…

I’ve read that the board/committee which decides the Pulizer-Prize is stacked by NYT, in order that they remain dominant in the media-empires landscape…

& their systematic normalizing of things which should be attacked by actual Journalism, these last few years…

& finally, they make it their paradigm that only-the-paying-get-true-access, so therefore, as another here on Lemmy.World so accurately pointed-out, something like…

~ if a new & important news event happens, I can go look for news on it, but NYT paywalls it, & Fox doesn’t: so what do I have to read, to find out what’s going on? ~

( very bad paraphrase, but that’s the gist of it: I think in abstract-shapes, & that’s the English-approximation of the abstract-shape I’m remembering )

NYT’s woven deeply into the upper-middle-class identity.

You can’t defeat identity when acting within any socio-political domain…

The Boston Globe was the newspaper that broke the Catholic relocating-molester-officials story, they were excellent, I don’t know if they’re any good now, because … yet-again, the upper-middle-class news is paywalled.

Nobody seems to understand that accountability, including both whistleblowing and Journalism with a capital-J, are national security requirements, strategically…

shrug

We’re watching the “drug-addict” of human-civilization choose its disinformation-drugs instead of surviving its addiction…

This is going to be the worst century our planet has ever had, unfortunately…
