Analogy of Reality

Analogy of Reality

Pin in a haystack is my closest analogy to reality.

It is very difficult to find the reality.

If at all, we would only see the relative reality.

In my opinion, the absolute reality is illusive to mankind. 

There is some inherent tendency to  limit our capacity to comprehend everything.

I create a plausible concept called "Uncertainty Principle" to elucidate the underlying tendency.

Then, one can begin to comprehend there is the Virtual or the  Visible Reality.

In a classical physical fight of the old, one is destined to bite the dust.

In war death is inevitable.

It does not matter whether it is a war of attrition or a nuclear disaster.

The moment we discovered the gun powder and the gun, everything changed in humanity.

Now we are in the ballistic stage.

Knowingly and willingly mankind always chosen the fight.

Go for all out war.

There is no flight but fight on the first instance.

One's gain is the others loss.

That is the reality of a Zero Civilisation.

I do not believe, in spite of technological progress we can ever ascent to the Level I Civilisation where harmony is the base and war is nonexistent.

That is the stark reality.

No religion, no political system and no military system can mitigate the eventual destruction of mankind at this present juncture.

It was true for Sumerians.

It was true for Arcadians.

It was true for Asirians.

It was true for Greeks.

It was true for Byzantine.

It was true for Muslims.

All the above mentioned are in relation to Euphrates River.

Not global at all, for proper scientific analysis.

It is true for the neocolonialism of the West but however, it has met its nemesis.

That nemesis may be Russia.

This is only about 8000 years of modern civilization.

This is where I tend to disagree with StevenHawking's Singularity and One Universe.

I think he left it open for us to debate it’s inconsistency.

Multiverse is as plausible as the single Universe.

We will soon join the Aztecs, Mayans and Sumerians.

Unfortunately, we are not going to leave behind any significant artifacts for the next generations of civilization to didcover and ponder. 

What went WRONG?

We have to assume that next and new civilization may emerge from the ashes we have left.

AI and MAD

 

AI and MAD

This piece is to highlight that the "War ofAttrition" has no currency when AI is at work. Nobody seems to have understood this precarious situation. 

I do not think even China has given credence to this evolving situation.

China is obsessed with AI.

Russia in my belief does not believe in efficiency of the AI operations. It may be useful in a battle situation where surprise is intended. They still believe in human intelligence supervising the  AI drones.

I do not want to use the term AI spy agents.

They have boots on the ground.

If AI is given the full control what evolves has no logic or algorithm. Americans do not have reliable boots on the ground and depend heavily on AI gathered intelligence.

At best AI stops at 95% efficiency.

The outlier of 5% is the one which leads to catastrophe in an AI battle of supremacy.                     

The End Game has no logical endpoint but depends on the redundant data set of uncertainty.

It is presumed to be infinity.

In scientific sense, infinity has a different connotation.

As for knee jerk reaction, I think we have to worry and suspect Americans who would jump the gun prematurely, on a preemptive strike.

Beware.

By the way, this is an American manufactured war. Russia never wanted a war in Ukraine but they preferred negotiations. It was the war monger, Boris Johnson who coaxed Zelensky into the war path. Already one million Ukrainians have scarified their life to war of attrition.

It is easy to start a war.

It is very difficult to stop.

In human terms at this point of time, diplomacy, may or may not work.

The stakes are very high.

Then man made devices are used preemptively.

We have examples in history and the Atomic Bomb in Japan did end the World War II.

Unfortunately, we never managed to come to term with Strategic Arms Control for a sustainable period of time in our history. The Treaty for  Nuclear Arms Control ends in 2025. Russia proactively extended it by one year.

There is no attempt to reactivate this Treaty.

Due to Presidential election in USA, no attempt to end this war was envisaged.

Status quo remains fragile.

Democratic mechanisms may fail in this type of scenario.

One man rule like in China may fail.

Dialogue may fail.

We have a vulnerable president in power, at a time where diplomacy is at zero strength.

The end game or end point is in "a state of flux".

When we have unstable leaders who do not have mature advisers to lead them, the tendency to rely on AI is realistic. Paradoxically guys who may be eyeing for a  regime change in USA may become proactive. This was regime change in reverse gear.

The man who envisaged Regime Change in Russia will be a victim of his own devises.

The pendulum swings from war to no war.

Putting the finger on the AI button, is a realistic probability. It is literally called the "Panic Button". This is an example of “Uncertainty Principle”, hard at work.

Victory is uncertain but stale mate is factual.

War posturing against Iran by Israel was evident. The 12 day attempt at regime change did not come to fruition. The tendency is the same but this time Iran is well prepared and there seem to be some cohesion with third parties.

Russia and China have helped in the surveillance strategy which Iran refused in the first instance.

Everything is in volatile mode with two guys over 80 heading the regimes.

I would stop at that.

Mutually Assured Destruction may ensure.

Uncertainty Principle

Last think before boarding the plane,I do is bit of gambling, if I am alone and I win the money paid for the TAXI to the Airport.

Uncertainty Principle

This as a principle was ingrained in my mind form childhood.

There is the cardinal principle in physics.

It is called the State of Flux.

Lately of course, I have expanded it to many other areas.

Cloud forming and the unpredictability of the weather was of my special interest.

There is long chapter on that topic later in this book.

However, long before I mastered statistics,  I have seen how a six sided dice fall on the ground when it is thrown up. When we add two dices the number of combinations increases exponentially.

This fact is used in gambling.

In good old days, during the annual Esala Perehara in Kandy, there would be a special carnival ground erected in Bogambara Grounds. The gambling stalls had a special attraction and I used to go there and gamble. 

Then of course there was a Casino stall, belonging to Mr. E.W.Balasuriya in the Kandy lake round, opposite of the Buddhist Publication Society.      

I have gone there once or twice for musical shows but we were not allow to gamble as children. As a medical student of course, I have gone there and gambled a few times and a even won few quids.

Gambling is the best game that illustrates the Uncertainty Principle. 

Some days I did go to Buddhist Publication Society and bought a few Bodhi Leaves only 20cent apiece. That was my entry to Dhamma in bits and pieces.

Abortion Rate in Ceylon

One should do a retrospective study of Abortion in Tamil Women of the North and the East  in Colombo and Kandy when Pavans were observing (keeping) peace in Ceylon.

Abortion Rate in Ceylon

This function can be used to derive the real growth, putative growth and what is reported by the Health Ministry (reported to WHO) of Abortion Rate in Ceylon.

I am going to propose a lucrative proposal to our Health Minister. 

A money making industry for Ceylon.

In some states of America abortion is prohibited by law. 

In this proposal American women supposed to be illegally pregnant should be allowed the free Visa to visit Ceylon on holiday. By the way,abortion is illegal in Ceylon and nobody had been persecuted for this offense for over 70 years.             The doctors and guys and girls  involved in this industry have ways and means to bypass the law.

Thankfully, in my discipline, I have not seen a single case except still births. However, forensic guys see more of the bizarre cases like a Catholic priest becoming a putative real father or a Buddhist monk causing unnatural death to a baby he helped to conceive by extortion or trickery.

For the abortion equation the variables are;

1. Naturally occurring abortions. Factor a.

2. Illegal abortions by non professional guys and girls. Factor b.

3. Legal abortions performed in the public sector and private sector institutions. Factor c.

Abortion is a lucrative industry in Ceylon.

My observation is that the average age of first pregnancy is 28 in Ceylon which is 12 years above the Western average.

Are you going to say our girls are virgins till the age of 28?

Even in prison women become pregnant in Ceylon.

There is current MP who went to prison making an underage girl pregnant.

There is another popular singer who went to prison raping an underage girl. This is probably a common occurrence here and abroad.

Infertility is very high in Ceylon and that is related to poor post abortion care and Fallopian tube infections.

We cannot apply this Principle to moral or Buddhist background. What I know is Buddhist monks have made young women pregnant.

They are the first category to promote this industry.

If we apply the available data in Ceylon we are unlikely to see the Gompartz behaviour.

So my premise is by using this curve we can show how far the putative numbers deviate from the real biological trends.

It is difficult quantify.

A worthwhile candidate for a PhD thesis.

The real problem is our women keep numb about abortions and under report episodes.

Prerequisite for the study is to evaluate the less than desirable openness in reporting, rather lack of reporting of incidents.

The number of Tele Drama episodes over the past 70 years is an indirect indication of the prevalence of legal and illegal abortions in Ceylon.

This is not about Truth Factor but about Validity of  Data Collection in planing for this industry.

Currently it is ad hoc.

ChatGPT an AI instrument are valid tools for deriving the trend so that proper pre-event education of the vulnerable souls.

I hope the reader use discretion and empathy on this issue and evade religious and cultural stigma which is a significant  barrier to objective analysis.

That is why I suggest one should do a PhD on Sociological Grounds, like the study of suicide in Ceylon.

Suicide is linked to this issue.

I would not discuss this matter in future, even if a guy or girl who wants advice before diving deep into research.

Now what is the difference from accounting?

Accountants are interested in taxes and capital gains and how to evade payment to government coffers.

Gompertz function is not attractive to them.

Tax rates are arbitrary in Ceylon.

Gompertz Function and Curve

Gompertz Function and Curve

My blog activity fits very well with Gompertz Curve. 

My blog function started slowly, then had an exponential growth before tailing off.

The war in Ukraine and my antagonism to American Proxy War made me to come out of hibernation and bring out the Dhamma Principle of Uncertainty of Life on the battle field.

American propaganda is now in the decline with the colossal loss meted out to the Democratic Party by the electorate. 

The election episode did not follow the Gompertz Function.        

There is no mathematical equation for electoral catastrophe but usually the expression of frustrated citizenry is  abrupt and unpredictable.

The Gompertz Function was domain of actuaries who were interested in the risk of death. 

Currently it is manifested in the Stock Market and its eventual downfall.

Gompertz Function has three variables a, b, c.

These variables follow calculus model.

But the curve is in two axis of x and y.

It is simply very informative.

I hated calculus since my interest was physics with motion, constants and time dimension.

But I now consider events exploding into 4th and 5th dimensions.

I also hate statistical Bell Shape Curve model which cannot be expressed in Gompertz's terms.          

On surface, the outliers and the middle portion shows similar behaviour but the gradients of outliers are unnatural, acute and sharp.

Insurance companies fear death that means payment and loss of capital.

Their obsession is the risk of death.

The lower the risk of death and higher the number of young people included in the protocol better their profits. They calculate the risk for each age group and determine the premium that has to be paid.

The large pension schemes also use the Gompetz Function for their investment plans. 

This is where I have my reservation for private pension schemes.

The Gomperz curve has a universal claim.

Tumour growth, cell culture growth and bacterial growth follow Gompertz function but they have more variables than the 3 used in the curve.

That is why I love natural biological events and consyant cell cycles of 50 or around 50.

 

Reality and Abstract

Reality and Abstract

My gut feeling was to stop blogging well before US and Ceylon Elections but I could not. Politicians are shoddy people and their followers are stupid to the core. 

I have decided not to educate simple folks and let them live in their own simple but delusional state.       

Whereas, I do not want to give an inch to the politicians to hoodwink the masses with hope and bright outcome.

Let the politicians sink on their own mess.

Having said that, I deleted all my political pieces on this blog site some of which were pretty long and elaborate to avoid misinterpretation of my own logic and reason by inadvertent visitors to my site by chance or by accident.

For example, a guy picked my "Uncertainty Principle", a  reasoning tool of physics of mine.       

This guy made a YouTube presentation extending Uncertainty Principle on a  metaphysical level.

Metaphysics by definition is outside of the material world.

It was like tail wagging the dog.

The real philosophers work on abstract thinking and there is no limit to their abstract thinking. 

That is the beauty of philosophy.

All religions are derived from abstract thinking and none of these religions can delve into reality. 

Reality is simple but even rich guys likeElon Musk and Richard Bronson take reality as an extension of the abstract imagination.

Branson expressed his desire to become an entrepreneur at an early age. His first business venture, at the age of 16, was a magazine called Student. In 1970, he set up a mail order record business. He opened a chain of record stores,Virgin Records later known as Virgin Mega Stores, in 1972. 

Branson's Virgin brand grew rapidly during the 1980s, as he started the Virgin Atlantic Airline and expanded the Virgin Records music label. In 1997,Branson founded the Virgin Rail Group to bid for passenger rail franchises during the privatisation of BritishRail.

In 2004, he founded spaceflight corporation Virgin Galactic, based at Mojave Air and Space Port in California, noted for the Space Ship Two, suborbital space plane designed for space tourism.

Reality

1. We are one gravity people.

We cannot neither live in space nor on Mars.

By the way, Mars do not have plate tectonics and rock formation. 

I think it has a thick mantle.             

I am not sure if there is any water in its belly.

2. Without water man cannot survive.

70% of our brain is water.

60% of our body is water.

In infants it is 80%.

Water intoxication and electrolyte imbalance are critical in new born babies.

Baby 70%

Man 60%

Woman 50%

 

3. We are 24/7 people and any alteration in our sleep/awake cycle alter our melatonin secretion and biorhythm.

Sleep deprivation leads to confusion and impair critical thinking.

4. Van Allan Belt is not narrow.

5. Even Moons atmosphere is alien to humans.

Its geostationary (we never see the darker side) orbit is not conducive for our melatonin secretion.

The bottom line is let only rich people spend their money on rockets and we ordinary people think of global warming and biodiversity.

Statistics of Sri-Lankn Temples, Kovils, Mosques and Churches

Statistics of Sri-Lankn Temples, Kovils, Mosques and Churches  

 

Hindus and Muslims in Ceylon have more places of worship than an for an average Buddhist.

 

In actual fact, Hindus and Muslims have more privileges in Ceylon than in India.

British used Divide and Rule Principle but not Buddhists in Ceylon.

That Nirmal Ranjith Guy who is the political advisor to Anura is the one who distort facts for political reasons.

Anura is the Niragamikaya who is trying to destroy peaceful coexistence that existed in Ceylon.

Hindu Kovils

I for 420

 

In India 1 for 850

7000 Kovils 

Muslims

1 fo5 750

In Saudi Arabia none for Hindus

3000 Mosques

 

The total places of worship  for Hindus, Muslims and Catholics exceeds what Buddhists have for worship who are 70% of the population.

While Muslims were expelled from North there existence of Tissa Vihara is the most felt irritation for Tamils.

This hilarious. 

Catholic and Christians

1 for 1100

1000 Churches 

Buddhists

1 for 1450

10,000 Temples

Exit from Hell and Heaven

Exit from Hell and Heaven

I have never been to heaven and what is told here is only a hearsay and not a heresy. I had some connection with the heaven for a very short period of time when one of my dog friends ended up in heaven and that story for completeness sake is told here in brief, when the current and the latest story is dealt with.

That particular dog is no more and has attained Nibbana by stroke of luck and his clever strategy.

He is extinguished in the way of Buddhist Tradition.

My connection to heaven is through an email facility, which the Maha Brahma granted me while the dog who “Exited” was acting as the Maha Brahma’s Assistant. 

I still have this email connection.

There was no email facility in heaven, at that time and with myLinux Computer Connection,I established a Server in Heaven to assist Maha Brahama who is on eternal holiday. My interests are not on Heaven but on Hell where I was told by our Paraya Dog that some manipulations of sentences are made by surreptitious mechanism created by Ceylonese Lawyers, regarding sentences meted out to our politicians, who have already left us for good.

All lawyers, except a few end up in Hell, by default since the either distort or misrepresent fact in defense of their clients

Suffice is to say, no politician has reached heaven from Ceylon.

I have gone into depth, in that regard and I have written a solid software in Linux to screen all applications made from Ceylon and that act of vandalism has being aborted and Apaya Server is very well maintained. I am currently the Acting Director of Apaya Server, until I kick the bucket from this existence.

I accepted this post since, Maha Brahma himself requested me to look into that problem before, he went on a long vacation. He could not take leave until, the problem in Apaya Server  was sorted out.

The current agreement is, I will hold the Acting Capacity of Apaya Server until I exit from here and  I am only interested in meting out justice to our politicians who are ace manipulators of our current affairs. That post would fall vacant after my demise and a new guy would be elected at the discretion of Maha Braha, himself.

I have no intention leaving here, just yet.

I have no interest in continuing in this post, since the Server and the Software I created would last aeons and aeons, since it is made out of Linux Code.

I have already upgraded the kernel to Debian 14 series.

Let me deal with the heaven in general.

All the Gods have a good time when they are there but descend to lower realms the moment they exit. They know it very well and that is why they want us to give them life wire as merits when we dish out Dhana when one of our guys or girls do exit from the planet earth. I have no intention of letting lose, any of my merits left and I wish not I come back to earth as a lowly animal.

I wish something better.

I wish to have a full exit, just like our Paraya Dog.

But there is a caveat here.

Our dog Zimba is supposed to be in heaven and   I wish to see him at least once or twice because he was  such a good soul.

I lost my “temper tantrums” thanks to his demeanour while he was with us.

That is my entry point to this book about current dogs. It is said that all dogs go to heaven and very few humans go there by default. The dogs who go there also realize that when they exit, when the time comes is also very dicey. Nobody has any control our Rebirth Protocol which is automatic and instantaneous,           not even Maha Brahma has any say. What Maha Brahma tries to do is to allocate the remaining merits (Kusal) or demerits (Akusal) in accordance with Cause and Effect Principle and nothing more.

It is not a laborious task but a boring task, Nevertheless, he enjoys the sequence of events and       he lives longer than the other gods. In other words,      he has more merits and he does not wish to extinguish his flame of good Kamma as the Boss of all Gods.

This is where bit of rivalry happens in heaven but that is not the topic of this book.

He is only interested in Dementia in humans.

 There is currently, no Dementia in Gods, they do remember everything big or small. All what Maha Brahma (no vetting at all) does in heaven is monitored by other gods who wishes to take his place, when he exits. This has created some issues to Maha Brahma who wishes, some of his cohorts develop some form of Temporary Dementia so that he can enjoy his long and much welcome holiday without any snooping by other greedy gods.

He is considering some form genetic manipulations in a few of his aspiring God Candidates without any malice. I have been working with children all my life except for a brief period in New Zealand where I had to deal with geriatric patients. For the first time, I saw lot of them with dementia and had developed some interest in preventing dementia which is not a problem for the victims but to their non demented kith and kin.

It is a big pain, for the next of kins.

I have make some reference to Dhammapada here and it is relevant.

It is rare to be born as a human and do not waste that instance with mundane affairs.

That is where the “Exit” dog had put a stamp of approval of Buddha’s Teaching. This dog who was frequenting the Malwatta Temple in Kandy had heard some wise sermons in his time as a dog. Rest of the dogs including Pedigree dogs only realize their plight only when they have reached the mighty heaven.

Exit

In closing, I would repeat the final words of the Exit of our clever Paraya dog. Maha Brahma before dishing out the next round ask set of questions after exchanging his opening pleasantries.

One has to give precise answers.

Are you sure of your parents?

I am sure of my mother but not sure of my father.

This is the same answer Abraham Kovoor gave when I asked him in an open forum, are sure of your father.

What was your last birth?

Parya Dog.

Before that?

Paraya Dog.

Before that?

Paraya Dog.

I am not sure he stops here but may be asks final and for the fourth time,

Before that?

Paraya Dog.

Satisfied he asks,

How you wish to be born?

After a brief thoughtful moment,

No Entry

Repeats the Quentin

No entry

Re-repeat the question,

No Entry

Maha Brahma was baffled.

For the fourth time with a commanding voice he asks,

How you wish to be born?

No Entry.

All his life he never had this as an answer.

He closed his eyes for a moment for a thoughtful moment.

When he opened his eyes.

He did not see the dog.

Exited in full.

Attained Nibbhana the Supreme in one go.

Open Source Linux is Becoming Vendor Locked and Immutable Linux SUCKS

Open Source Linux is Becoming Vendor Locked and Immutable Linux SUCKS

Yes, it is.

Only Step by Step.

I started with Mandrake KDE.

Then there was a legal battle for the name.

It became Mandriva and it got frozen in 2012. Mageia that followed it, is still in development version 10.

I moved to SuSe somewhere down the line it become Enterprise SuSe

I gave up.

Moved to Redhat.

Rehad created a bizarre Ferora Stream. I think I stopped at FEDORA 3 in 2004. It was difficult to get and this Metta Vihari monk at Sarana Road gave me 3 out of 4 CDS. I think this monk was a homosexual and wanted me to come for a second visit for the 4th CD. I had a friend in Nugegods who visited Singapore regularly and he got me a working set. Then I bought Redhhad 8 book which had 2DVDs. 

Then, I have up Redhat and I hated FEDORA and moved to Debian with 6 or 7 CDs. Upload, Complie, Reload and compile and got a working Debian. There are no books on Debian but by this time I was into Linux Magazine Subscription and I used get a new set of DVDs and had a flash with Linux Mint for a while.

What it meant was without that greedy homosexual monk, I was in constant touch with Linux but DEBIAN was my base.

No UBUNTU at all which I hated from version 6.

All these time I could fiddle with the Opersting System if I wanted to but I did not since I always had the latest version.

These YouTube guys who try to spoon feed newbies sickens me.

One got to learn it by trial and error and Linux Bible has everything in Text Form.

I hate these Atomic Immutable distribution which fall into the Vendor Lock system. They assume that the USER is stupid and should not give any control of the system.

Vanilla OS is one of them.

Immutable distributions I hate:

1. Valve SteamOS

2. ENDLESS OS

3. Fedora 

4. SuSe 

5. Vanilla 

6. Nix OS

They use Flatpak and AppImage to install new stuff and they are in Containers which I hate overloading the System.

Need to reboot to entire system.

In normal APT one install an application and never reboots 

FEDORA is a classic example needing reboots.

They takeover the entire Hard Disk and one cannot install another Linux Distribution in the system

Please Avoid them by default.

They are not in my NUC.

Linux Penetration is insiginificant on Desktop

 Linux Penetration is insignificant on Desktop

Yes, LINUX Penetration is insignificant on the Desktop Realm.

If is less than 1% if one takes away, the Steam Deck and Valve Factor.

When, I started many moons ago, there were only 32 or 34 other guys including me globally.

My mission was to up it to 10%.

My ranting here, at Google Blog Spot has done nothing, at all.

No qualms at all.

Object of this piece is to announce that, just a little while ago, I published a Free Private Blog Post.

Its name is downthememorylanecom. wordpress.com. I posted the first 10 posts already. The 10 distributions I have instaled in my NUC Basic.

No financial or monetary intentions based on Richard Stallman's 4 Principles of Freedom Software.

The real intention is to promote my book Linux Essentials which is coming to the finishing line or tape in athletic terms.

Once, the book is published, I may go into hibernation of some sort.

THANKS to GOOGLE for the Blog Space where I have over 30,000 blog pieces, mainly on Linux and Dhamma.

Political ones, I removed long before Ceylonese Elections which RAW and Modi manipulated.

My anti-indian stance is not recent dating back to an Indian Post Office woma and Indian Grocery guy cheated me on my American Traveller's Cheques. Even in Singapore, Indians cheated me.

That is why, I adopted the African Sly on Indians, the "Black Jews".

That is why I would not use ZorinMail, even though I have registered myself an account. I had an account there but the new Indian company, just like Microsoft erased my account already there. Some comment applies to Outlook.

MXM AV Linux Moksha Edition

AV Linux Moksha Linux

My Linux base is always Debian Gnome and MXM Moksha will be one of the other 9 distributions,   I already have in my Intel NUC box.

Thank you Bodhi Linux for Moksha Desktop, but I moved to MXM due to my multimedia requirements. I a

Gnome is neither ugly nor beautiful and that is the standard I use as a neutral distribution. There are other beautiful Desktops like, Elive and Enlightenment.

Like Zorin and I would never support Linux Lite which calls itself light but it is not light. Besides,    it comes with ugly XFCE.  Well KDE Neon, Ubuntu base is much nicer, looking.

MXM is based on AntiX.

Its Kernel 7.0.10-1

It takes less than 10GB of the /root partition of 15GB and I have 5.7GB left for other applications including GNOME Desktop.

I am installing GNOME it took only 300MB.

Blender takes 1.1GB.

GIMP takes 100MB.

VLC takes 200MB.

Audacity takes 100MB

Audacious takes 100MB

Asunder takes 200MB

All audio utilities may be under one folder sharing common GTK utilities.

Handbrake takes 100MB

Deluge takes less than 100MB.

AbiWord took may be 300MB.

LibreOffice takes 1GB.

PDF takes about 100MB.

DeaDBeeF may be 100B.

Palemoon 100MB.

Opera 600MB

Vivaldi 600MB

LibreWolf 500MB

Brave may be 500MB.

Remaining Space is under 1GB and no more software would be added.  GNOME is running smoothly on top of Moksha. Moksha Desktop is Beautiful. It is developed by Bodhi Linux which is a Ubuntu Linux Derivative.  I do not trust Ubuntu and its future direction.

I used AV Linux in the past because of its Audio and Video media support but gave up because of its slow response to change to the new Debian Kernel.

It looks like it is coming out of slumber.

I really liked Enlightenment Desktop.

ELive is Beautiful but it is stuck with the old kernel and also wants me to pay for its new desktop.      I promote Linux but I do not promote monetary ventures that are against Linux Fundamentals.

Linux Lite is also on a monetary course.

Developers also eat rice and curry or hot potatoes. I do not mind donations for maintenance. FOSS has a target but they are always below the targeted estimate. Having a maintenance target is mandatory in this capitalist world. I do not expect innovations from China and Russia. Certainly not from India and Ceylon.

Ten (10) or more reasons why I do not use a cellphone

 

Ten (10) or more reasons why I do not use a cellphone

Posted on June 3, 2011

Now that WHO has released the warning for radiation and cancer PHOBIA, I should state why I hate using cellphone.

Some of what I say below are scientific in nature and nobody has done adequate studies.
This is based on the premise animals have more evolved senses for their protection and navigation especially at night.

 
For example some snakes (who do not have ears) infrared sensors to to detect their prey namely rats.

 
Hearing is not essential for some animals and mosquitoes probably have thermal as well as olfactory (smell) sensors to feed us at night.
 

What it means is that whole energy spectrum is used to various degrees by various beings including insects.

 
They all originate from sun rays and most of them even do not reach us and reflected in the stratosphere.
Any artificial high intensity laser included have adverse effect on life on earth especially the animal species.

1. There is scientific evidence emerging telecommunication signals effect navigation of bees. Apart from the suspected virus infection, I believe the microwave and Telecom signals are the one that effecting the bees. 

Whole chain of events and food cycle will be effected by this impact. 

Instead of wasting time on cancers WHO and WFO should investigate this context seriously.
We know the bees are diminishing.
Why?

2. These energy waves and other waves generated also effect birds. 

Birds who carry seeds around the world also will impact food scenario of other wild animals. Bird population is diminishing and we do not know how these energy sources affect eggs when they are hatching. 

We know that most of the agricultural pesticides concentrate on eggs and their shell and diminish fertility of birds.

3. When birds are diminished, alarming rise of parasite on domesticated animals will rise. For example ticks which infect cattle and dogs.

4. We do not know what other animals wild and domesticated affected by these artificial energy and bizarre propagation. We do not know even how it affects dogs who have powerful hearing senses.

5. It takes generally 20 years to discover facts and by that time (brain tumours) one generation is affected by the ill effect.

Those are scientific speculations but what about day to day effects.

6. I am one who believes in that talking reduces the working capacity of mankind. Cellphone invariably does that in our life.

I prefer the land phone which everybody in the neighborhood hears loud enough and knows that the house is not abandoned.

Even current Dhamma Desanas pollute the Mind. 

I hate when the telephone ring when I am engaged in some intellectual activity. Even the mosquito is enough to disturb my activity. Imagine I am or a meditator deeply engaged in Ana Pana Sati insight meditation and one mosquito is enough to distract the attention.

7. I prefer both my hands free when on holiday and hate somebody send a SMS on the road crossing highway.

8. Cellphone contributes to road traffic accidents.

9. Imaging I am engaged in a group activity or suturing a coronary artery bypass and the cellphone rings.

10. Many use this as a ploy to get out of a important meeting to make decisions. Politicians are good at this and they slip away leaving a mediocre guy to listen to trade union guys.

Cellphone takes the thinking capacity and concentration away and few years from now research will indicate it was the most bizarre invention of ours.

Enjoy it now and very soon there will be legislature controlling use of cellphones.
Remember I said it.
