"Slow is smooth, smooth is fast."
- US Navy SEALs
The wise man shook his head and smiled.
'It is men,' he called out, 'who corrupt women; and everything that women lack should be atoned for and improved in men - for man creates for himself the ideal of woman, and woman moulds herself according to this ideal.'
'You are too tenderhearted towards women,' said one of the bystanders, 'you do not know them.'
The wise man answered: 'Man's attribute is will, woman's attribute is willingness - such is the law of the sexes, verily! A hard law for woman! All human beings are innocent of their existence, women, however, are doubly innocent; who could have enough salve and gentleness for them!'
'What about salve! What about gentleness!' called out another person in the crowd, 'we must educate women better!'
'We must educate men better,' said the wise man, and made a sign to the youth to follow him.
The youth, however, did not follow him."
- Fredrich Nietzsche, "The Gay Science", 68. Will and Willingness
Cycle time limited by reaction chamber decay, not Solid Electrolyte Interphase bridging across seperator.
Static storage for areas that have heat, or require heat.

Wrath brings Heart Disease.
Sloth causes osteoporosis.
Polygamy risks the manifestation of a malformed body&mind when your random scattered offspring begin dating each other years after your death (centuries before Birth Control "cured" pregnancy).
Sullen faces, hunched posture, double chins, pot bellies - evidence of a derailed populace convinced to open the floodgates of desire. Your curse is a Cattle Car Healthcare System.
Eat less, do more. Pain is Weakness Leaving the Body.
Lest the Fast Track sequesters even more useful talent.
The clergy knew this, but you would rather overrule judgement with surgeries and pills (clean-up crew salary&options).
Morality is about someone else's tomorrow, because you will not be abandoned (despite your folly). Citizen Upkeep described in the form of iambic pentameter and parable.
The Objective supersedes Vanity.
The optimist designs the airplane, and the pessimist designs the parachute.
"All warfare is based primarily on deception of an enemy. Fighting on a battlefield is the most primitive way of making war. There is no art higher than to destroy your enemy without a fight by subverting anything of value in your enemy's country."
-Sun Tzu, c. 500 BC "The Art of War [0]
"Rules of Revolution"
"1. Corrupt the young, get them interested in sex, take them away from religion. Make them superficial and enfeebled.
2. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial issues of no importance.
3. Destroy people’s faith in their national leaders by holding the latter up for contempt, ridicule and disgrace.
4. Always preach democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
5. By encouraging government extravagances, destroy its credit, produce years of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.
6. Incite unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of the government towards such disorders."
- Tomas Schuman (post-KGB-defection Yuri Bezmenov), "Love Letter to America" [1]
An effective way to prepare a child (newcomer to language) for the timeless bombardment of foreign ideological subterfuge is by telling a simple story of how paradise was lost [2] because the soothsayer targets the spirit of the life-affirming (compassionate) component of the city-state as the most direct path to that which provides its strength. The taste of judgement is forbidden because you will then spend your days (as an agitated, less productive civilian being physically protected by an authority) wondering about how local conditions should be changed according to your personal opinions&comfort which means you have rejected the requirement of loyalty&obedience. At this point you are not worth being provided for since you become the source of expensive internal convulsions, and are therefore cast back out into the unorganized chaos for which need of the nation-state arose. In the same breath, through this story-telling, you elevate the ideals of the assignment of order&purpose, creation, cooperation, and organization as central tenets for the foundation of civilization.

If you cry wolf and agitate the masses with fear, then you gain free advertising for a "new" search engine because the spin of the "journalist" requires anxiety to circulate organically.
"A nation of thirty millions of people, had been for ten years agitated by the most terrible convulsions... Conflagrations had laid the palaces of the wealthy in ruins, and the green lawns where their children had played, had been crimsoned with the blood of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters.
A gigantic system of robbery had seized upon houses and lands and every species of property and had turned thousands of the opulent out into destitution, beggary, and death. Pollution had been legalized by the voice of God-defying lust, and France, la belle France, had been converted into a disgusting warehouse of infamy. Law, with suicidal hand, had destroyed itself, and the decisions of the legislature swayed to and fro, in accordance with the hideous clamors of the mob. The guillotine, with gutters ever clotted with human gore, was the only argument which anarchy condescended to use. Effectually it silenced every remonstrating tongue.
Constitution after constitution had risen, like mushrooms, in a night, and like mushrooms had perished in a day. Civil war was raging with bloodhound fury in France, Monarchists and Jacobins grappling each other infuriate with despair. The allied kings of Europe, who by their alliance had fanned these flames of rage and ruin, were gazing with terror upon the portentous prodigy, and were surrounding France with their navies and their armies. The people had been enslaved for centuries by the king and the nobles. Their oppression had been execrable, and it had become absolutely unendurable. 'We, the millions,' they exclaimed in their rage, 'will no longer minister to your voluptuousness, and pride, and lust.'
'You shall, you insolent dogs,' exclaimed kings and nobles, 'we heed not your barking.'
'You shall,' reiterated the Pope, in the portentous thunderings of the Vatican. 'You shall', came echoed back from the palaces of Vienna, from the dome of the Kremlin, from the seraglio of the Turk, and, in tones deeper, stronger, more resolute, from constitutional, liberty-loving, happy England.
Then was France a volcano, and its lava-streams deluged Europe. The people were desperate. In the blind fury of their frenzied self-defense they lost all consideration. The castles of the nobles were but the monuments of past taxation and servitude. With yells of hatred the infuriated populace razed them to the ground. The palaces of the kings, where, for uncounted centuries, dissolute monarchs had reveled in enervating and heaven-forbidden pleasures, were but national badges of the bondage of the people... At one bound France had passed from despotism to anarchy. The kingly tyrant, with golden crown and iron sceptre, surrounded by wealthy nobles and dissolute beauties, had disappeared, and a many-headed monster, rapacious and blood-thirsty, vulgar and revolting, had emerged from mines and workshops and the cellars of vice and penury, like one of the spectres of fairy tales to fill his place. France had passed from Monarchy, not to healthy Republicanism, but to Jacobinism, to the reign of the mob. Napoleon utterly abhorred the tyranny of the king. He also utterly abhorred the despotism of vulgar, violent, sanguinary Jacobin misrule. The latter he regarded with even deeper repugnance than the former.
'I frankly confess,' said Napoleon, again and again, "that I must choose between Bourbon oppression, and mob violence, I infinitely prefer the former.'
... He had two foes to encounter, each formidable, the royalists of combined Europe and the mob of Paris. The quiet and undoubting self-confidence with which he entered upon this enterprise, is one of the most remarkable events in the whole of his extraordinary career. He took with him no armies to hew down opposition. He engaged in no deep-laid and wide-spread conspiracy. Relying upon the energies of his own mind, and upon the sympathies of the great mass of the people, he went alone, with but one or two companions, to whom he revealed not his thoughts, to gather into his hands the scattered reins of power. Never did he encounter more fearful peril. The cruisers of England, Russia, Turkey, of allied Europe in arms against France, thronged the Mediterranean. How could he hope to escape them? The guillotine was red with blood. Every one who had dared to oppose the mob had perished upon it. How could Napoleon venture, single-handed, to beard this terrible lion in his den?"
- John Stevens Cabot Abbott, "Napoleon Bonaparte" (1855)
Now you do not have to pay attention to anything. This is utopia. It was a waste of time for my father to tell me to work hard.
My great-great grandfather didn't have "health insurance" or "social security deductions", and neither did yours. Yet we exist as their descendants.
Evangelical advice about "death preparation" is the original "buy the cryptocurrency I already own".
I am the youthful energy of an aging empire, and so are you. I do not look forward to doing nothing. When I begin to feel the pangs of mortality - what will my character be like?
"All men die, not all men die whining."
To be born at the beginning of the longest cumulative period of R&R [0] since the beginning of recorded history is to instinctually rear children (policy influence) with a value system that revolves around "comfort" (a Permobil factory is coincidentally located next to my Amazon alma mater BNA2 [1]).
The Greatest Generation [2] survived the turmoil of their youth (fighting an "enemy" as it was reacting to stagnant, lifeless neighbors) and after becoming investor class (age 60-90), they completed their magnum opus by bringing back [3] the first extralunar beings [4] (equipment built by employing the hands/ingenuity/ambition of the youthful, inspired Boomer Generation).
To have many children and make them build spaceships is why global encyclopedias [still] call you "the Greatest".

The recent conscription of Mr. Cruise to showcase air superiority is an insight tactically granted at the behest of American government as a reaction to international upheaval. A reminder. After the success of "Star Wars", Mr. Ford fulfilled a similar role in a film about infrastructure sabotage (hydroelectric dam and bridge - Force 10 from Navarone).
I always appreciated the Top Gun franchise because there are many scenes showing a large group of people enjoying each other's company.
Reminds me of Eli Whitney seeing a cat defeather a chicken while trying to pull it through a fence, inspiring the cotton gin (learn from nature). Wasn't the original Starlite also derived from edible matter [0]?
They started with the bread because of its spongey texture (fine, compacted flour expanding as yeast yields gas) but arrived at the egg white protein structure which is less apparent to the naked eye (the light color implies low density solid? Polar bears appear white but hair is clear, which means more empty space thus insulated?).
> Egg whites are a complex system of almost pure protein that—when freeze-dried and heated to 900 degrees Celsius in an environment without oxygen—create a structure of interconnected strands of carbon fibers and sheets of graphene.
I wonder if this rapid temperature change is embrittling the structure (squeeze with cold then stretch with heat) causing it to fragment into the "two dimensional" graphene sheets after being depleted of everything but the carbon. But the carbon fiber protein strands are cylindrical - how is this leading to flat one-atom thick sheets? Perhaps this rapid temperature gain to a specific 900C is akin to the specific resonant frequency that will shatter the crystalline structure of glass.
Robert-Murray Smith has experimented with graphitizing various natural materials like banana peels, seaweed, wood, and coffee grounds [1].
Regardless of the quality&vandalism - the name of the topic visited for review is in itself a valuable notification.
"... Normalization. At that stage, the self-appointed rulers of the society don't need revolution anymore... Stabilizing the country by force. So all the sleepers, activists, social workers, liberals, homosexuals, professors, and Marxist/Leninists are being eliminated. Physically sometimes. They've done their job already, the are not needed anymore. The new rulers need stability to exploit the nation, to take advantage of the victory." [15]
Prevention is possible via fellowship, but their "freedoms" are the same as yours, which allows you to more easily identify these casualties of the lawless information distribution avalanche. We are "redirecting the blow" in our own way by allowing the termination of susceptible lineages in humane fashion to create "lebensraum" for the citizens who understand that strong family means the human duty to yield/educate/endow your replacements to carry on the mission because "non est ad astra mollis e terris via".
". . . so the answer to ideological subversion, strangely enough, is very simple. You don't have to shoot people, you don't have to aim missiles and Pershings and cruise missiles at Andropov's headquarters - you simply have to have faith, and prevent subversion. In other words, not to be a victim of subversion. Don't try to be a person, who in judo, is trying to smash the enemy, and being caught by their hand. Don't strike like that. Strike with the power of your spirit and moral superiority. If you don't have that power - it's high time to develop it. " [16]
The proponents of ideological infiltration do not want to be your enemy. Out of necessity, you must be kept in check, since your displays of opulence, gluttony, sloth, wrath (et al) are not the same motivational forces that has long been the prompt for the strong minds&bodies of all nations to seek immigration into the pioneering American ranks. They are seeing their hero fall ill, and it arouses a suspicion and skepticism to fill the void of inspiration and keeps the long chain of human existence intact.
"... you're essentially absconding your position in the great chain of civilization. Every individual is the result of a lineage that goes back a billion years, from the very first organisms to you, and you're like 'I don't need to carry on that chain, abolish all of that. I am going to live off other peoples effort and energy.' What makes you think you have the right to be like 'I don't need to do anything about upholding this civilization by producing future generations for it. I am going to get myself sterilized, drink my wine, and live off the fruits like a conqueror.' This is a totally unsustainable attitude. It's not going to last. You're going to be miserable." [17]
It is the same energy as found in Locker Room Talk. The jeer/insult/defiance in the absence of the Coach is meant to size you up and prove your worth, to probe for your eligibility to bear the conch shell. Your teammates don't push you around because they despise you - they want to know that you can be trusted in the heat of the moment. If your scheming reaction is to "cancel the bullies", then you've failed the test. The drill sergeant draws salary for the sole purpose of introducing you to chaos so that you are far more durable than ever before.
"... It has to be stopped, and it's easy. They won't be offended, mind you. As a matter of fact - they will respect America more." [18]

"... blindly raging industriousness brings riches and honour but at the same time deprives the organs of refinement that make it possible to enjoy the riches and honour; also, that this chief antidote to boredom and to the passions at the same time dulls the senses [0] and makes the spirit resistant to new attractions. (The most industrious age - our own - doesn't know how to make anything of all its industriousness and money except still more money and still more industriousness, for more genius is required to spend than to acquire! Well, we'll still have our 'grandchildren'!) If education is successful, each virtue of the individual is a public utility and a private disadvantage with respect to the highest private end - probably involving some deterioration of the spirit and the senses or even a premature demise: consider from this standpoint the virtues of obedience, chastity, piety, and justice."
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, 21. To the teachers of selflessness
The title of the article describes the merit of deliberate inaction to gain the virtue of wisdom. Wikipedia (universal standardized knowledge database edited by verified "wise" people?) defines it as the "ability to contemplate and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense and insight."
I agree with the author, Jideofor Onwugbenu, that there is utility in the pensive reflection required to digest the broad spectrum of memories accumulated throughout each period of labor. But he/she has produced other articles with titles such as "Tactics to Accelerate your Career" and "Pensions, Exponential Growth, and Investing" which seem to promote the concept of restlessness.
Mr/Mrs Onwugbenu claims that he/she "labors" in yet another remotely located "financial technology" startup which is a synonym for "banking" which is the sector that rides the ("Leverage") waves generated by productive societies. Ever since I saw my tax dollars swallowed by the bloated "financial sector" after failure to enforce restraint among it's mortgage lending "talent" in 2008 (followed by the American coin mint authorization to spend even more of my tax dollars to change the back of the penny, stamping dies used for only one year), I've had to develop a necessary skepticism of any information broadcasted. It makes sense that a person on a computer all day is going to arbitrarily advise us to "do less" [1].
"... a Soviet scientist, Shafarevich, who has nothing to do with religion - he is a computer scientist - did a very intensive research on the history of socialist countries. He called socialist, or communist, any country with a centralized economy and the pyramidal style of power structure. He discovered (actually he didn't discover - he just brought to the attention of his readers) that civilizations like Mohenjo-daro (in the river Indus area), Egypt, Maya, Incas, and Babylonian culture collapsed&disappeared from the surface of Earth the moment they lost religion. As simple as that - they disintegrated. Nobody remembers about them anymore (well, distantly). The ideas moving society and keeping mankind as society of human beings. As intelligent, moral agents of God. The facts, the truth, the exact knowledge, all the sophisticated technology and computers will not prevent society from disintegrating and eventually dying out... " [2]
After I made the decision to spend my limited attention reading what a banker has written about the merit of idleness, I see that the Convenient Almighty Recommendation Algorithm has projected the option to play-back footage of Bishop Fulton Sheen telling me that "Most of us live below the level of our energy, and in order to be happy - we have to do more. Now, we can do more, spiritually and every other way than we are doing as is proven by hypnotism..." [3]
But the pocket computer is a statesman's dream: gps/microphone/camera/accelerometer in every pocket? Yes please. The SysAdmin(s) Among You that desire to play God seek omniscience. And with "helpful" Youtube videos showing how to "employ" surplus devices [5] - you too can add [6] to the chaos of moral dearth by getting paid (wide net indirectly cast via venture capital fueled dot-com-bubble-2.0, transponder switched off [7]) to pretend to be the guiding hand of the calculated opinions of millions of "real" people. A list linking you to digital profiles (proof) "who" have clicked "like" is not available to the user, unlike any stage performer who spends "all this time running around" personally inspecting the "legs and limbs, millions of eyes [8]" - instantly accessing their user base by gazing upon a sea of movement. Fake (virtual) engagement can raise or lower the reception metrics displayed next to the content of both your impressionable children and their teachers - this is the closest thing to centralized hypnotism.
Since the most funded organization of Sol-3 is the United States Military, global hegemony can be challenged by circumventing it's strike capability. Subvert their civilian labour via the shiny trojan horse pocket device:
"... if an enemy is bigger and heavier than yourself, it would be very painful to resist his direct strike... the Chinese and Japanese judo art tells us what to do. First, to avoid the strike, then to grab the fist and continue his movement into the direction where it was before. Until the enemy crashes into the wall... in every society there are people who are against the society. Simple criminals ideologically in disagreement with state policy, conscientious enemies, psychotic personalities that are against anything, and finally there is a small group of agents of a foreign nation (bought, subverted, recruited). The moment all these movements will be directed in one direction - this is the time to catch that movement and continue it until the movement forces the whole society into collapse and crisis... We don't stop the enemy - we help him to go into the direction we want him to go." [9]
It would be "wise" to destroy the conditions that led to the availability of "Rosie the Riveter", that is, the dutifully disciplined daughter descended from strong family values, with her meticulous/patriotic/productive precision operating the industrial equipment providing the steady stream of reliable asset reinforcement to be operated by her beloved man with his high pain threshold staged throughout multiple theatres of engagement.
"... to take advantage of these movements, to capitalize on them... religion, education, social life, power structure, labor relation unions, and Law&Order. These are the areas of application of subversion. In case of religion - destroy it, ridicule it. Replace it with various sex cults [10] which brings peoples attention away from the purpose of religion - to keep people in touch with a supreme being..." [11]
Promote sexual promiscuity disguised as "revolution" across a few decades. The cinema, mass produced televisions, and those that curate their broadcasted content could be considered thrifty foreign military assets because the "useful idiot" does the bulk of the subversion work for free by responding to where the money flows and what the traditionally reliable institutions are projecting.
"... We think a subverter is a person who is going to blow up our beautiful bridges. No - a subverter is a student who comes for exchange, a diplomat, an actor, an artist, a journalist like myself... " [12]
Since the men will eat the apple of "knowledge" because their women insist, then they are aiding their own subversion by having their Goddess Bound by ideology delivered by the voice who moves slowly therefore undetected:
"It's everywhere, it's everything, it's everyone, It's anywhere, its anything, it's anyone , It's a neighbors saving face, by saying grace, Today for yesterday's behavior" [13]
"... Education - distract them from learning something that is constructive, pragmatic, efficient. Instead of mathematics, physics, foreign languages, chemistry - teach them history of urban warfare, natural food, home economy, your sexuality, anything that takes you away..." [14]
A "painless" genocide in slow motion - gender swapping sterilization will be your own "revolutionary" idea, a combination of post-surgery anesthesia and infinite "news" scroll sedating your natural reaction to this final blow. Put it in the credit card commercials, corporate literature circulation, entertainment screenplay dialogue, elevate it to the top of news feeds by social engineering internal FAANG operators via high salary - the bribe to turn the blind eye of the state official is a small price to pay, but an unnecessary expense when a pocket device can show 40k+ zip codes the same story of "progress".
