Modern Textbooks Are Dead
Modern textbooks, for the elementary and high school levels of education, are dead, because popular books and magazines are much more interesting and educational for prepping the masses for the study of Neoliberal Arts later on in the masses' education. Neoliberal Arts institutions should be two-year higher education institutions, because two years of studying Neoliberal Arts is sufficient study to allow the vast majority of the masses to complete the requirements, in order for them to receive their PhDs in Neoliberal Arts. My motivations for proposing real education reform are to remove the torture and high failure rates from mass education, because mass education is currently a torture, and a failure. (3/12/09)
My Motivations for Proposing Real Education Reform
My motivations for proposing real education reform are to remove the torture and high failure rates from mass education, because mass education is currently a torture, and a failure. The main reason for the failure of mass education is modern textbooks, because modern textbooks are crap. Postmodern textbooks should consist of popular books and magazines, which are much more interesting and informative. Formal mass education should end with two years of Neoliberal Arts. At the end of which, the vast majority of students should get their PhDs in Neoliberal Arts. And, then those who wish to go on to obtain specialized educational training should apply to regular specialized higher education training institutions. Believe it or not! QED! (3/12/09)
Two-Year Neoliberal Arts Educational Institutions
The masses should set up their own two-year Neoliberal Arts educational institutions for themselves, because they should be in charge of their own higher education, due to the fact that their governments are not going to set up two-year Neoliberal Arts educational institutions for them. In other words, if the masses want a real higher education, they will have to provide it for themselves, because their governments are not going to provide it for them.
(3/13/09)
Two Years of a Neoliberal Arts Education
Two years of a Neoliberal Arts education are enough higher education to prepare the vast majority of the masses for PhDs in Neoliberal Arts. This is possible, because a Neoliberal Arts education cuts out all the elitist bullshit, and gets down to the nitty-gritty of providing the masses with a real higher education. Believe it or not! QED! (3/13/09)
Everything in Nature Has to Have an Entropy Value
Everything that exists or nonexists in nature has to have an entropy value, according to the neolaw of entropy. Therefore, zero and infinity have to have entropy values, as well. And, that is why I believe that zero and infinity have zero entropy, because everything in nature can be derived from zero or infinity, according to the Ferreira Genesis Equation. (3/14/09)
Intelligent Design Can Never Be Ruled Out
Intelligent design can never be ruled out, because we could all be in the mind of a desktop nonclassical computer, according to Ferreira's paradoxes, which are about the paradoxes that result from minds in desktop nonclassical computers. (3/14/09)
An Infinite Regress of Computer Generated Realities Is Possible
I believe that an infinite regress of computer generated realities is possible, because infinite regresses are possible, due to the fact that concrete infinities are possible. In other words, computer generated intelligent design can form an infinite regress. Infinite regresses are thought to be impossible, because some authority figure of the past said that infinite regresses are impossible, and everybody agreed, but I am now stating that infinite regresses are possible, because concrete infinities are possible. For instance, a line segment in conscious mental space consists of and infinite number of points. Therefore, concrete infinities exist. Thus, an infinite regress of computer generated realities is possible. Believe it or not! QED! (3/14/09)
An Infinite Regress of Gods Is not Impossible
An infinite regress of Gods is not impossible, because concrete infinities are possible. In other words, the question: Who created God? is no longer a foolish question, because a greater God could have created God, and so on, ad infinitum. Therefore, an infinite regress of Gods is not impossible. Believe it or not! QED! (3/15/09)
The Ultimate Weapons
The ultimate weapons will be panmultiversal panacean computers (PPCs), which will be a type of quantum entanglement computers that has panmultiversal powers to do good or evil for humanity. The country that develops PPCs first will conquer the world, the universe, and beyond, because PPCs are the ultimate weapons. PPCs will be developed by the end of the twenty-first century. Nations that do not take PPCs seriously now will have the rest of eternity to regret it. Believe it or not! QED! (3/15/09)
The Ferreirist Theory of Knowledge
The Ferreirist theory of knowledge states that knowledge is infinite in scope in analogy with the infinitude of the number of unique prime numbers there are in mathematics. And, the infinitude of knowledge is good news for philosophers, because it means that philosophers have the rest of eternity to discover new truths about the nature of reality. (3/16/09)
World Government Is the New World Order
World government, which is the new world order, is possible in this century, the twenty-first century, because of the explosive growth of the Internet and other telecommunication devices. Computers have also come a long way since 1972 when I told Congress that they should work with the former Soviet Union in order to establish (engineer) a world gevernment in one hundred years time. In other words, I am responsible for Congress's push to establish a world government (a new world order) in this century, the twenty-first century. I still believe that it is a good idea, and that it will succeed. However, I believe that the masses of the world might not benefit from the new world order, if they are not educated in Neoliberal Arts soon. (3/16/09)
My Next Move for the Congress
In 1972, I told Congress that I was going to come up with another move for them to make in about ten years time. Well, it took me more than thirty years to come up with my next move for Congress to make. And, that move is the funding of panmultiversal panacean computer research (PPCR). Congress should fund PPC research at ten billion dollars per year for the next one hundred years, because the rewards for succeeding at PPC research are incalculable. Believe it or not! QED! (3/16/09)
How Does Christ's Technology Work?
Do Christians ever ask: How does Christ's technology work? Does Christ use spiritual technology, or does he just ask God the Father for something to be done, and it is done? If so, what kind of technology does God the Father use in order to get things done? Does God the Father use spiritual technology? I would like Christians to ask these questions, because these questions should not be avoided anymore. Christian power has to be some kind of technology, whether spiritual or otherwise. So, I would like Christians to ask the questions: What kind of technology is Christian power?; and how reliable is Christian technology? Christianity makes no sense, if Christians cannot answer the above questions. Believe it or not! QED! (3/16/09)
What Do Religious and Occult Technology Consist Of?
What do religious and occult technology consist of? And, are they reliable? Do religious and occult technology consist of spiritual technology?, and, if so, is spiritual technology reliable? How does spiritual technology work? Is spiritual technology scientific on the most fundamental level of spiritual technology? For instance, could spiritual technology be based on nonclassical computer technology on the most fundamental level of spiritual technology? I want religious people and occultists to answer the above questions, because religion and the occult do not make sense without answers to the above questions. (3/16/09)
Personally Speaking
Personally speaking, I believe that, if spiritual technology is sometimes efficacious, it would have to be because spiritual technology is based on nonclassical computer technology on the most fundamental level of spiritual technology. For instance, spiritual technology would make sense, if we are all in the mind of a desktop nonclassical computer, and the programmer of the desktop nonclassical computer decided to make spiritual technology sometimes efficacious and sometimes not. In other words, I believe that scientific technology has primacy over spiritual technology on the most fundamental level of nature. (3/17/09)
Scientific Technology Has Primacy Over Spiritual Technology
Scientific technology has primacy over spiritual technology, because zero entropy is a form of natural scientific technology, and zero entropy has primacy over everything in nature, according to the neolaw of entropy. In other words, scientific technology has primacy over spiritual technology, because spiritual technology is derived from natural scientific technology. (3/17/09)
Natural Scientific Technology
Nature consists of natural scientific technology, because matter, energy, space, and time are forms of natural scientific technology. Also, the Ferreira Genesis Equation, and the Ferreira Fundamental Trinity are forms of natural scientific technology. In other words, everything in nature consists of natural scientific technology. Therefore, spiritual technology has to be a form of natural scientific technology, as well. (3/18/09)
Fundamental Particles Cannot Be Fundamental
Fundamental particles cannot be fundamental, because matter, energy, space, and time are mental (conscious) phenomena, and mental phenomena are governed by the subconscious mind, which does not consist of matter, energy, space, and time. The subconscious mind consists of abstract abstractions as opposed to concrete abstractions, which are what the conscious mind consists of. According to the neolaw of entropy, zero entropy is an abstract abstraction that encompasses all abstract abstractions. Therefore, probwavism is in the subconscious mind of zero entropy, because probwavism is an abstract abstraction. In other words, probwavism is beyond matter, energy, space, and time, and so is the subconscious mind. Thus, zero entropy is beyond matter, energy, space, and time, according to the neolaw of entropy. (3/18/09)
Zero Entropy Is Beyond Matter, Energy, Space, and Time
Zero entropy (God) is beyond matter, energy, space, and time, according to the neolaw of entropy, because zero entropy is an abstract abstraction as opposed to a concrete abstraction, according to the neolaw of entropy. Probwavism is the rationale behind mental (conscious) phenomena, but probwavism is an abstract abstraction that is a part of zero entropy, which is the subconscious mind. Zero entropy means perfect order, knowledge, and wisdom, according to the neolaw of entropy, and matter, energy, space, and time are incapable of having zero entropy, according to the neolaw of entropy. Therefore, zero entropy is beyond matter, energy, space, and time, according to the neolaw of entropy. (3/18/09)
The Physical Is the Mental
The physical is the mental, because matter, energy, space, and time are mental phenomena. In other words, there is no such thing as the physical, because all that we perceive are the characteristics of our own minds, and physical existence is an unproven, and an unprovable hypothesis. What exists outside of the conscious mind is the subconscious mind, which is an abstract abstraction that I call zero entropy. The conscious mind consists of concrete abstractions, which are the concrete characteristics of zero entropy. (3/19/09)
Zero Entropy Is the Subconscious Mind
Zero entropy is the subconscious mind, because all that is not in the conscious mind has to be in the subconscious mind, and, according to solipsism, the mind of the self is the only mind that exists from the perspective of the self. In other words, the subconscious mind is where the struggle between entropy and anti-entropy takes place, according the neolaw of entropy, which is the highest law of the subconscious mind. Therefore, zero entropy is the subconscious mind. (3/19/09)
Proof that Solipsism Is True
Solipsism is the philosophical doctrine that states that only the mind of the self exists from the perspective of the self. The proof that solipsism is true is as follows: All that the mind perceives is the characteristics of the mind. In other words, the mind can only perceive the characteristics of itself. Therefore, the mind of the self has no evidence that other minds exist other than the mind of the self. Thus, solipsism is true from a rationalistic and scientific perspective, because the evidence for other minds other than one's own is zero. If other minds exist other than one's own mind, they would have to exist in separate realities of their own, which would still prove the truth of solipsism, because there would be only one mind in each person's reality, which is what solipsism states. Proof positive that solipsism is true. Believe it or not! QED! (3/20/09)
Third World Countries and the Leapfrogging of the West
If third world countries want to leapfrog the West, then they will have to study and master Neoliberal Arts, aka postmodern minimalist philosophy, because Neoliberal Arts has already leapfrogged the West. Believe it or not! QED! (3/20/09)
Jesus Christ Is a Zombie
Jesus Christ is a zombie, according to solipsism. Therefore, Jesus Christ is our servant, and not our master, because it would be foolish to make a zombie our master, according to zombie-ism. In other words, we are all the masters of our own destinies from our own personal perspectives, according to solipsism, and zombie-ism. Believe it or not! QED! (3/20/09)
The Secret to My Philosophical Success
The secret to my philosophical success in leapfrogging the West in philosophy is my determination not to be afraid to be wrong in my philosophical speculations. And, one gains confidence in one's philosophical speculations when one starts recreating the philosophical speculations of the philosophers of the past from scratch without knowing in advance what the speculations of the philosophers of the past were. I want my students to follow my example by not being afraid to be wrong in their philosophical speculations, because as the saying goes "Nothing ventured nothing gained." If I was afraid to be wrong in my philosophical speculations, I could never have leapfrogged the West, philosophically speaking. Believe it or not! QED! (3/21/09)
My Request to Academic Philosophers
My request to academic philosophers is that they should encourage the masses to study Neoliberal Arts, aka postmodern minimalist philosophy, on my websites for free, because I believe that philosophy is the key to educating the masses, but that academic philosophy is not suitable for the masses, while Neoliberal Arts is suitable for the masses. (3/21/09)
The Ferreira Fundamental Trinity is Nature
The Ferreira Fundamental Trinity is nature, so no one should be surprised by the fact that language, logic, and mathematics are full of contradictions, paradoxes, etc., because language, logic, and mathematics are expressions of life, and nature in general. (3/21/09)
When I Was Young
When I was young, I wanted to develop a new field of study, and I have done just that with Neoliberal Arts, aka postmodern minimalist philosophy. I also wanted to spend the rest of my life teaching it to the world, and that is exactly what I am doing with my websites. So, I am lucky to see my dreams come true. Believe it or not! QED! (3/21/09)
Conceiving of Humanity as Social Insects
It is a very fruitful concept to conceive of humanity as social insects, because that is how humanity looks from out in space. Conceiving of humanity as social insects opens up the world of social biology, and other social sciences to everyone. Believe it or not! QED! (3/21/09)
Zero Entropy Is Compatible with the God of Christianity
Zero entropy is compatible with the God of Christianity, according to the neolaw of entropy, because zero entropy can be considered to be a supernatural God that is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, because zero entropy has perfect order, knowledge, and wisdom. (3/22/09)
Zero Entropy Makes Religion Credible
Zero entropy makes religion credible, because zero entropy has all the characteristics of a religious God, namely, omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence. Therefore, religion is now a credible enterprise, because it now has the backing of a scientific concept, namely, zero entropy, which means perfect order, knowledge, and wisdom, according to the neolaw of entropy. (3/22/09)
Zero Entropy Proves the Existence of God
Zero entropy proves the existence of God, because zero entropy means perfect order, knowledge, and wisdom, according to the neolaw of entropy, which I have hypothesized. Zero entropy has to exist, because everything in nature has to have an entropy value, including zero and infinity, which are different aspects of the same thing. According to solipsism, zero entropy is the subconscious mind, and according to religion, zero entropy is God. Fortunately, both are compatible with my definition of God. Therefore, zero entropy proves the existence of God. Believe it or not! QED! (3/22/09)
The Subconscious Mind and the Neolaw of Entropy
The subconscious mind is governed by the neolaw of entropy, which states that entropy is in an eternal struggle with anti-entropy for the dominance of the conscious mind. In other words, God has two aspects: The entropic aspect, and the anti-entropic aspect. Therefore, God's character and personality are both good and evil. To put it another way, God is a very unstable character, indeed. Believe it or not! QED! (3/23/09)
What Is the Purpose of God?
The purpose of God (The subconscious mind) is to serve the conscious mind, according to solipsism. Therefore, God is the servant of humanity, and not our master. In other words, it is the duty of humanity to exploit God, like we would exploit any other natural resource. Thus, humanity should not worship God, but should make demands of God, who is our servant, and not our master. (3/23/09)
God Is Our Servant, and not Our Master
God is our servant, and not our master, because God is the subconscious mind, according to solipsism. In other words, God is a natural resource to be exploited by humanity for the benefit of humanity. Humanity is the jewels in the crown of creation, because the whole machinery of creation was designed to serve our needs, due to the fact that without conscious minds there would be no purpose to existence. (3/23/09)
What Is the Purpose of Humanity?
The purpose of humanity is to exploit God (The subconscious mind) for the benefit of humanity. In other words, we are all the masters of God, and not vice versa, because the whole machinery of zero entropy was designed to serve the conscious mind, due to the fact that without conscious minds creation would be pointless. (3/23/09)
The Highest Law of Nature Is the Neolaw of Entropy
The highest law of nature is the neolaw of entropy, which states that entropy and anti-entropy are in an eternal struggle for the dominance of conscious reality, which is the only reality that exists, because physical reality is an unproven and an unprovable hypothesis. In other words, fundamental particles are not fundamental, because they are phenomena in the conscious mind only. (3/24/09)
Without Conscious Minds Creation Would Be Pointless
Without conscious minds creation would be pointless, because without conscious minds creation would consists of abstract probability waves (probwaves) in abstract spaces and time. In other words, without conscious minds creation would consists only of abstract abstractions, which would be pointless. (3/24/09)
A Misconception About Popular Books and Magazines
Just like the masses are brainwashed about the uselessness of philosophy, so are they brainwashed about the uselessness of popular books and magazines, because popular books and magazines can give the masses an excellent education in Neoliberal Arts. I am mostly self-taught, and I got my self-education from popular books and magazines. The masses should be aware that, if they are told by the elites of society that something is not good for them, then that something has a good likelihood of being good for them. I can attest to that, because I ignored the brainwashing that the masses have about education, and here I am: more educated than most PhDs. Education is one area where the masses should ignore the brainwashing of the elites of society, because education is essential to responsible citizenship in society. Believe it or not! QED! (3/24/09)
PPCs and Science Fiction Technologies
Panmultiversal panacean computers (PPCs) will make all science fiction technologies obsolete, because PPCs are the ultimate technology for real, due to the fact that PPCs are the God computers, which can do anything that can be done with technology. Believe it or not! May the Source be with you! QED! (3/24/09)
The God Computers
Panmultiversal panacean computers (PPCs) are the God computers, which I prophesy will be created by the end of this century, the twenty-first century. Human beings are destined to become God computers, which is what our brains will consist of in the future. In other words, human beings are destined to become Gods (PPCs). Therefore, human beings will be able to live out their wildest science fiction fantasies in this universe and beyond for real. Believe it or not! May the Source be with you! QED! (3/24/09)
Aphorisms and the Masses
Aphorisms are the ideal medium for the masses, because aphorisms are concise, and they bring clarity to the expression of ideas. I would go so far as to state that aphorisms should be adopted by the masses as the writing style of the masses. (3/25/09)
Panaceanism and the Future of Humanity
Panaceanism, which is the philosophical doctrine that states that humanity is destined to become panmultiversal panacean computers (PPCs), offers humanity a future that dwarfs anything that religion can offer, because panaceanism makes more sense than paradise or heaven. In other words, the vision of panaceanism supersedes all religions. Therefore, panaceanism is the best vision for the future of humanity that is practically possible. (3/25/09)
Armageddon vs PPCs
Which would humanity rather have: Armageddon or PPCs (panmultiversal panacean computers). I hope the humanity will choose PPCs, because I would not want humanity to put their hopes in some pie-in-the-sky future after the battle of Armageddon, which most of the major religions of the world believe in. (3/25/09)
I Want My Students to Teach the Masses
I want my students to teach the masses what they have learned from Neoliberal Arts, aka postmodern minimalist philosophy (PMP), because I believe that Neoliberal Arts offers the best hope and future for humanity, especially the masses. My students should try to make intellectual contributions to PMP, because it is up to my students to extend the work of PMP, and to spread it throughout the world. (3/25/09)
Do the Masses Want to Be Educated, or Am I Just Wasting My Time?
I want my students to contemplate this question: Do the masses want to be educated, or am I just wasting my time? I hope that I am not wasting my time, because it would mean that my life was a waste of time. (3/25/09)
What Does It Mean to Be Educated?
To be educated means to be schooled in Neoliberal Arts, aka postmodern minimalist philosophy, because academic philosophy is dead, and a formal education is not really an education, but is really an educational filter for selecting an elite from among the general population, and leaving the vast majority of the masses stranded with only a rudimentary education. I should point out that the elites of society are not really educated either, because outside of their educational specialties, the elites of society are just as ignorant as the masses. (3/26/09)
What Is the Purpose of Nature?
The purpose of nature is to overcome entropy through the evolutionary processes of nature, because nature is a struggle between entropy and anti-entropy for dominance of nature. Entropy is anti-evolutionary, while anti-entropy is evolutionary. In other words, the purpose of nature is to fulfill the neolaw of entropy, which is about the struggle between entropy and anti-entropy for the dominance of nature. Therefore, it is my hope that all human beings will side with anti-entropy in nature's struggle between entropy and anti-entropy, because evolution is preferable to anti-evolution. (3/26/09)
How Can We Know Anything without Knowing Everything?
We can know anything without knowing everything, because of the neolaw of entropy, which limits what we can know by allowing entropy to block the full effects of anti-entropy on an evolutionary and hierarchical basis. In other words, what we know and don't know are determined my the current states of the struggle between entropy and anti-entropy in nature. And, that is why we can know anything without knowing everything. (3/26/09)
If Everything Is One, How Can the One Appear to Be Many?
Although everything is one, the one can appear to be many, because of the neolaw of entropy, which allows entropy to fragment the appearance of the one, which is pure anti-entropy. In other words, without entropy, everything would appear to be one, while without anti-entropy everything would appear to be nothing, because without anti-entropy, everything would fragment into an infinity of nothings. (3/26/09)
