20 years of #orgone #studies later, what've I learned⸮

#Sexology is mostly bunk & reproductive #science sorely lacks comprehensive development past drugs & birth control.

You may #travel the world but what realistically to expect was already outlined in #Saharasia by the '90s.

The Boring #Twenties

My grandfather told me about the Roaring '20s: driving 10 MPH was "speeding."

Bad as it is now, these are boom years between 2022 & 2029 #shmita busts.

I remember being 20-something, clueless to how wrong I am but eager to learn: memories #taper.

It's a seven year boom-bust cycle, Shemita, plus add one year every forty-nine to make an even fifty:

1944 Nazis win
1951 Commie Scare
1958 I like Ike
1965 Vietnam
1972 Gas crisis
1979 hostage crisis
1980 run on silver
1987 Black Monday Jr

The data doesn't match but we teach curved #miles (Einstein, Basis for Theory) by convention (Ibsen, Dollhouse) which, for any who know the truth, gives them nausea (Sartre, Nausea). Why Reimann geometry is easier to teach than confluence idk but computation requires fewer steps.

Vortex mechanics replaced wave mechanics after Charles Poor debunked Eddington 1919 in 1930. Then came a decade of war & book burning before the UN Security Council banned references to a turbulent ether.

Greed & selfishness are #miles apart, separated by a mountain of stupidity.

A smart selfish person understands the benefit of reciprocal altruism, 1 hand washing the other.

The greedy fool destroys these relationships that maintain our social contracts, living a life of crime.

What Bradshaw notes as biological disadvantage in
~What #Animals Teach Us about #Humanity,
"The #Biology of #Forgiveness,"
Robert Axelrod et al term #noise.

Generous tolerates only 3% noise,
Contrite only 7%.

🤷🏼‍♂️
Systems fail w <90% #signal.

Forgiveness is the buffer, not the noise itself.

Writing something down makes the truth feel heavier and lighter at the same time. Still it’s freeing.

Some forms of ambiguity don’t ask for clarity. They ask for honesty. I finally answered.

Wild how a tiny decision can drag you all the way into a new chapter. Even wilder that I almost gave up.

#Ashamed
Metabolism contracts
Shoulders sag
Blood & tissue cells, the very protoplasm they inhabit, all shrink

To what purpose

Unlike fear culture relying on personal safety, guilt culture on conscience
Shame culture relies on what others think, say, do
Idiots know no shame

I’m paying attention to the space between what I used to do and what I’m learning to do now. That tiny gap has a lot to say.
