Stumbled across a book titled

"Suppressed inventions and other discoveries"

By Jonathan Eisen

Makes interesting reading
Covers everything from

Waterpowered cars and supressed medical therapies to UFO technology and alien contact...

Here is a copy of the preface

We are taught it all started with stone tools.

Then fire was discovered.

The wheel.

metalurgy and then gunpowder.

Then machines.

We discovered if we mix fuel with the machine we have the engine.

Now we have machines fueled my electricity able to think and compute.

We have now incorporated all that for the robot.

Perhaps a self replicating robot is in the future.

Or are we there already, with the human?

With the discovery of dna

I wonder if our maker is concerned about how far we have come.

...Individual adult therapies, groups for children, families, couples, even our dogs. Most folks would be surprised to learn of how the various programs that train counselors teach the craft. Many adhere to unproved dogma, such as rank behavioralism, or Freudian psychodynamics. Where there is some evidence of efficacy, as with CBT, didactics are often sloppy. You read papers or books on the techniques, then have supervision during training, on what goes on in working with your charges. Rarely, mostly in learning family work, two way mirrors are involved. but systematic testing on knowledge, techniques or success is not the rule. No wonder we hear of so many incompetent counselors. But when AI advances enough, perhaps using depth cybernetics, based on quantum phenomena and speed, and including near human levels of relating, psychotherapy may finally be much more effective. And as an added bonus, no more having the doctor trying to put her hand up your kilt.

Does that mean the late bird catches coronavirus?

It is difficult for an open-minded person, especially if he/she has a scientific background to deny that the various issues of the socially-accepted concepts of sense-experience reality are open to question. Yet, despite the above-stated factors, very few people are willing to give serious consideration to seeking other perspectives of reality. Perhaps the main reason for this is the very powerful factor of social conditioning or socialization coupled with the need to avoid a feeling of aloneness in one's existence.

Social conditioning is necessary for the existence of a society, otherwise there will be chaos and confusion. Nevertheless, it tends to rob an individual of some measure of his/her individuality, giving in return a certain degree of social security which has a vital role in helping an individual to overcome a feeling of aloneness in his/her existence. This social security may be defined as a sense of belonging and recognition within the society. The actual amounts taken and given by the social conditioning process vary with different individuals.

Social conditioning has such a powerful effect on one's concept of reality that very few individuals are seriously willing to seek new perspectives of reality even though many realize that the perspectives of the socially-accepted concepts of sense-experience reality are very open to question. If they attempt to do otherwise, they run the risk of being denied the social security mentioned and of experiencing alienation and estrangement from society, and of facing a frightening and almost unbearable feeling of aloneness in their existence, and most are unwilling to take that risk.

The few who realize the shortcomings of the socially-accepted concepts of reality and who dare to seek new perspectives of reality are faced head-on with the question: Is it possible that one can experience some form of reality in life which transcends human sense experience and the process of logical reasoning, since these factors necessarily give a distorted view? What do you think?

If something can be measured, whether directly or indirectly, is it real? According to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, if energy has to be added to or taken from a system to implement the measuring process, as is generally the case, then this energy causes a change in the variable that is to be measured so that the value of the variable is no longer what it was before the attempt was made to measure it. In other words, the measuring process itself generally introduces an error into the measurement. For the measurement of macroscopic values, the energy change due to the measuring process is negligible and the error may be ignored. However, for the measurement of microscopic values, the Uncertainty Principle becomes critical and a substantial error may be introduced into the measurement.

For example, suppose we wish to measure the position of an electron. Consider a microscope powerful enough to make an electron detectable to the human eye. To perform the measurement, it is necessary to illuminate the electron with an intense source of light. Because of the extremely minute mass of the electron, the energy imparted by the source of light is of sufficient magnitude to cause a noticeable displacement in the electron's position, so that it would no longer be in the position in which it was prior to the illumination; nevertheless, such illumination is necessary for the measuring process. This same effect occurs in all measuring processes in which energy is added to or taken from a system as is generally the case.

Thus, it seems that even the ability of measurement to define reality is questionable since the very act of measurement itself generally introduces an error, human or otherwise, into the measurement to be made.

There was a wicked intense wind storm cross over my province a few days ago. Apparently, this happened.

I came to this seminar in good time to get a place on the first row, center.

…I always prefer to sit on the best seat be it opera, ballet, Yeti watching or just a domestic dispute…

I made myself comfortable for the next 60 minutes and immediately let deep and sound sleep consume my whole person.

… I never snore – checked against different sources…

So far so good. And my life was indeed heavenly sweet for the first half.

…Säg den lycka som varar…

Then, as usual, some forgetful bum’s phone went all excited somewhere in the bum’s bag’s intestines, which made the lecturer halt his stream of monotonic mumble, which consequently woke me up. My hardened nervous system wouldn’t have any difficulties to swing me back to sleep, but another bum – a very observant one – suddenly asked: “What’s that grey area under the curve?”. And that question put me on the perch straight and alert.

While the lecturer was staring at his graph as if he saw it for the very first time and the merry audience was suggesting solutions borrowed in the number of difference sciences – from landscaping to astrophysics, those oblique rotations in 3D – I recollected

…as a few years ago we used that very screen as a table cloth at a minor celebration when someone in our group published their first article and some clumsy bum spilled a bowl with dressing or the like…

and understood that the mystical “area under the curve” was just an oily spot, that looked grey contraluz.

Ages have passed, but I still consider my greatest contribution to the science that I kept composure until the end of the seminar. Then I went out, hugged a tree and laughed my heart out.
