"Reality" Spawned Of Mother
|
(Conspiracy Nation, 07/15/05)
-- Saddam Hussein now exists in Limbo, neither in Heaven nor in Hell.
Sharing his cell is The Ether, also in uncertain exile. (See "Jesus Is
The Ether," http://www.shout.net/~bigred/JesEther.html,
"In The Bosom Of The Ether," http://www.shout.net/~bigred/BosEther.html,
"Insipid Realities," http://www.shout.net/~bigred/Insipid.html,
"Ether Abandoned!" http://www.shout.net/~bigred/Ether.html)
Hussein had been laughed at when he foresaw "the mother of all
battles." (See "Mother Of All Battles," http://www.shout.net/~bigred/MothBatt.html)
Cocky westerners had not understood the statement. They mistook the
"mother" for the battle. The "mother of battles" is not the battle. She
spawns the battles.

Elmer
Fudd Guards Against Chaos

"Reality" construction is now complete, following the July 7th (7/7)
London bombings. It has been a tough seven days.

Faced with math anxiety, a "word math" problem called "London
Bombings," frightened mathophobes retreated into "reality based
communities" and "conspiracy based communities." (See "Math Anxiety and
London Events," http://www.shout.net/~bigred/MathLondon.html)
By now a "reality" has been constructed which you can plug in to soothe
the influx of chaos. (See "Constructing a 7/7 'Reality'", http://www.shout.net/~bigred/London.html)
But ask yourself this: Was it the terrorists you feared? Or was it the
chaos, the collapsing reality?
Chaos intrudes, however. At the "Humbug Tavern" (See "Tall Tales Of
'Science'", http://www.shout.net/~bigred/TallTales.html)
anyway, that is a
current yarn. In a closed system (they say), "heat will spontaneously
flow from a hot region to a cold region." This dissipates the energy.
One of the yarn-spinners, Rudolf Clausius, decided to call this
"entropy." "Let us say, 'The entropy always increases,'" proposed Isaac
Asimov, a hanger-on. "The increasing evenness with which energy is
spread out can be interpreted as increasing 'disorder.'" The
"scientists" guffawed. "And," Asimov added, "in general, all
spontaneous processes do indeed seem to bring about an increase of
disorder. So, the order of the universe is, first and foremost, a
perpetually increasing disorder." (Understanding Physics by
Isaac Asimov)
Inspector Elmer Fudd of Scotland Yard, disguised as a dumbwaiter,
did not like what he was hearing. At the Humbug Tavern, he
surreptitiously jotted down notes. "I suspect the wascal wabbit to be
behind this," he mused.
A collapsing universe intruded on July 7th, 2005, in London,
England. Following the events, Fudd, seen as having failed to stave off
chaos, was replaced by Detective Charlie Chan of the Honolulu Police.
(See "Chan On The Case," http://www.shout.net/~bigred/ChanCase.html)
Chan sought a new approach, to pursue all avenues of investigation,
regardless of where they might lead.
But Chan was stifled in his pursuit. Despite his international
prestige, he found certain avenues being closed to him. "Closed avenues
like pretty girl," he stated. "Very enticing, and can lead somewhere."
Inspector Fudd was brought back. He re-implemented the old approach
of constructing walls to contain chaos. Emergency Reality Technicians
assisted Fudd. They established another bureaucracy and prepared
various forms which would need to be filled out.
Yesterday, the hastily-constructed fence, the "explanation"
containing the chaos of 7/7, was solemnized by a religious ceremony.
Throughout Europe, by consensus, millions of people shared a moment
of silence and bowed their heads in homage to the "explanation" of 7/7.
Case closed. "Reality" constructed. Charlie Chan heaved a disappointed
sigh and packed his suitcase.
By and large, the British people take comfort in the "explanation"
of 7/7. Standing in lines and filling out forms is at least familiar to
them. Chaos (for now) has been contained. The threat of disruption to
the usual "reality," imperiled by the London events of July 7th, is
fading. The bureaucrats, the cavalry, have arrived, and the "Indians"
are vanquished.
Detective Chan has graciously extended an invitation to this editor
to join him in his garden for sassafras tea. I have accepted and will
be
chartering a DC-7 and flying across the Himalayas to the Plateau of
Leng. Therefore, for the next week or so, during my visit with Charlie
Chan, Conspiracy Nation is
not likely to
be issuing any reports. In my absence, "reality" will be constructed by
the "associated" press.
