The Evolution of Thinking Pre 10,000BC

From the pre-Neolithic age, non-conscious humans lived as highly-intelligent animals roving in packs or herds.

8000BC to 500BC

In advancing from the Neolithic age into post-Neolithic ages, bicameral minds broke into consciousness about 1000BC as hallucinating civilizations became non-hallucinating civilizations.

500BC to Estimated 2010AD

During this Pathological age, conscious minds operating through irrationalities and mysticisms devolved bizarrely-destructive, political/religious anticivilizations.

Estimated 2010AD Onward

The coming free-market business/science/art civilization will naturally evolve toward a Universal Civilization that flips (1) self-doubt/faith-following mortal minds into (2) self-confident/self-commanding immortal minds.

For 2500 years, people have lived and died in schizophrenic societies. For 2500 years, political-and-religious miscreants -- neocheaters -- have usurped livelihoods and power by manipulating delusions throughout the populace. Their lethal tools include:

1. socialist/fascist/populist/nationalistic politics, 2. egalitarian/collectivist/utopian philosophies, 3. a non-existent God or Gods,

4. Scriptures, Bibles, Qur'ans,

5. arrays of mysticisms, scientisms, and occultisms,

6. a willingness to live via profuse dishonesties, irrationalities, and criminalities,

7. frauds hidden in politically-correct/force-backed extortion laws and envy-based income taxes.

8. envy -- it is humanity’s most destructive manipulation tool. To understand the destructive power of envy -- a power that can destroy humanity -- first know the difference between envy and jealousy: Envy wants to destroy the good because it is good; jealousy wants to possess the good because it is good. Envy is the most ignoble of vices. As Plutarch said, “envy is the ulcer of the soul”. Indeed, envy has no boundaries and usually grows with time. By contrast, hate and anger have boundaries and usually diminish with time.

...Envy seeks to destroy the values of conscious life. Envy is the driving force behind the Islamic Jihad against the West.

The following quote from Usenet reflects the upside-down pathology dominating today’s anticivilization: “Most anticivilization citizens enviously despise those who keep them healthy and alive while ignorantly revering those who sicken and kill them.” In an anticivilization, business and science are lashed as Prometheus to a rock of envious malevolence. Politicians, journalists, academics, clerics, celebrities, and parasitical elites steeped in hatreds of competitive value creators and producers return every day to peck out Prometheus’s innards. Every

day they suck life-giving blood from competitive business and science. …After 2500 years lashed to that rock, who or what can unbind Prometheus? Heracles could not. Shelley could not.

Can Pax Neo-Tech advancing in a hail of Neo-Tech Bullets free Prometheus? Can the life force of Neo-Tech unleash competitive business, honest science, and creative art to bring never-ending prosperity, non-aging health, and ever-happy romance to conscious life on Earth?

In realty the most-noble-and-heroic individuals are neither kings nor saints, neither politicians nor celebrities, but are those light-and-life givers who honestly-and-productively create competitive jobs, values, and beauty for others and society. Only they are worthy of kneeling reverence.

#2 -- October 2001

Since Pericles in fifth-century BC Greece, every democracy self-destructs in seas of dishonesties and

irrationalities. Why? Because the electorate and elected become symbiotically infested with “gimme” populism and criminal socialism/fascism. In that process, earned capital is increasingly forced into parasitical hands -- a process that continually diminishes conscious life toward decline and death.

If not the politics of democracy, then what? Realize that the responsibility of consciousness is to render human life eternally creative, prosperous, and joyful. That responsibility falls upon neither politics nor religion, but on conscious individuals fulfilling their value-creating/value-producing nature. The way to meet that responsibility is not via a rule-by-men populist democracy but via a rule-by-law constitutional republic that protects the life, liberty, property, and sanctity of contract for each-and-every individual.

On July 4, 1976, America’s 200^th birthday, Neo-Tech’s first publication, Psychuous Sex, forecast the crossing of a nuclear-decision threshold within two generations -- a crossing that could end the human race.

Earthlings crossed that threshold on September 11, 2001 when the political-and-religious terrorists became willing and able to annihilate human life in America via financial-and-weapon enablers in Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. ...They all must be defanged or America loses.

Perhaps those religious Jihadists will start by detonating on Wall Street an easily-made radiological bomb packed with intensely-radiating cesium-137 with a half life of 30 years or even more-deadly strontium-90, causing the evacuation of several million residents and rendering Manhattan and perhaps the surrounding boroughs uninhabitable. Or, will they harness bio/chemical weapons and sooner-or-later nuclear weapons to annihilate human life by the millions?

Among the most-harmful aspects of today’s long-term war of survival against genocidal terrorists is its asset-and-attention-draining effect that prevents the economic, technological, and biomedical focus needed to achieve reverse-aging/non-aging health.

#3 -- November 2001

Islam? Look what Islam today does to millions of young Muslim men. Islamic mysticism devolves them into unhappy, socially-inept incompetents. Muslim clerics then whip them into envious, “kill-'em-all” rages against arrogant, decadent infidels -- against happy, free-spirit Americans.

Christianity? Look what Christianity did to the brilliant mathematician/engineer Blaise Pascal. As Nietzsche bitterly-and-unforgivingly observed, Christianity turned Pascal into a babbling delusionary hallucinator. And, the resolutely honest-and-principled mathematician/astronomer Giordano Bruno? Christian prelates burned him alive at the stake for his unyielding integrity. [Late note: A comprehensive article about the Catholic hierarchy’s key role in Hitler’s rise to genocidal power is found in: The Great Scandal: Christianity's Role in the Rise of the Nazis.]

Judaism? Where and when did murder in the name of God begin? In the Western world, it began with the ancient Jews. Consider the following excerpt from Joshua and the Promised Land, pp. 23-24 by Roy H. May, Jr. :

The most disturbing aspect of the Book of Joshua [Chapter Six] is the divine command to commit mass slaughter.

In Hebrew, this is herem or ‘ban’. God required that certain things be ‘devoted’ only to death and destruction.

Some things were reserved for religious functions. According to the ban, enemies were to be completely exterminated. …In this theological tradition, such destruction was to be dealt out because ‘foreigners’ or non-Israelites were viewed as impure idolaters. They deserved to die because their ways were opposed to Yahweh.

The ban was required to remove obstacles to Yahweh.

Even more malevolent is the conception of a Christian/Muslim afterlife that yields a no-escape ‘end time’during which everyone on Earth is violently murdered with hateful premeditation and malice. By contrast, the benevolent conception of a free-market business/science/art civilization that yields a never-occurring ‘end time’ in which each conscious life on Earth happily flourishes forever.

***

Qur'anic commandments expand, overlap, and then consolidate into psychotic incentives to exit a Muslim’s

miserable life via a martyr’s glorious death. For example, death by killing infidels means swapping a hard, loveless, wretchedly-boring earthly life for a no-effort, luxuriously-debauched afterlife of romping forever with seventy-two, sloe-eyed virgins. …Enjoyment of life on Earth is bad; enjoyment of death in heaven is good. Life is bad; death is good. “Look, it says so right here in the sacred Hadith,” proclaim nefarious and hypocritical mullahs to their youthful dupes.

Equally nefarious and hypocritical are the money/power-extorting Christian leaders such as

business-shakedown-racist Jesse Jackson and race-war-bigot Al Sharpton. Gleaning parasitically-sumptuous livelihoods, they both lie and defraud with impunity to lead their duped followers into becoming enviously-enraged losers.

…Bin-Laden/Mullah-Omar demagogues inspire losers to kill infidels who love life, freedom, and prosperity. Jesse-Jackson/Al-Sharpton demagogues inspire losers to loot businesses run by gooks, hymies, and honkies.

And, what about sanctimoniously-dishonest evangelists Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson who maliciously blamed the unreligious(!) and gays in America for the September-11^th mass-murder attacks upon the United States?

#4 -- December 2001 Background

Consider Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics designed to cultivate the goal of conscious life -- enduring happiness.

Aristotle identified happiness in three types of friendship -- the friendship of pleasure, the friendship of utility, and the greatest-and-rarest friendship -- the friendship of virtuous character.

Friendship of character, however, first requires earning self-virtues. Cicero (106-43BC) later identified friendship and envy as opposites: Friendship yields benevolent advantages. Envy yields malevolent destructions.

…The golden prize comes when, in a rising business/science/art civilization, Aristotle’s three friendships meld into happily-profitable camaraderie among conscious life.

Cicero also identified that romantic love involves looking into each other’s eyes; friendship involves looking in the same direction. And, the melding of Aristotle’s three friendships forms the foundation of ever-enriching romantic love. …From such friendship and love arise a universal civilization in which conscious life is never defrauded, never assaulted, never destroyed.

Finally, Cicero, the most revered and quoted moral philosopher for 1800 years (De Officiis "On Moral Duties”), postulated the exact opposite of Machiavelli (The Prince). For example, Cicero: No immoral act is expedient over the long term; all moral acts are expedient over the long term. By contrast, Machiavelli: Any act that gets and holds power is expedient. …Both men were accurate: Machiavelli spoke from the context of a mortal

Anticivilization. Cicero spoke from the context of the immortal Civilization of the Universe.

Neo-Tech Roots

Politics, religions, and most philosophies are generally rooted in history’s most original-and-comprehensive thinker -- Plato. He represents the unreal, higher-realm seeker of illusions via mind-created ‘realities’. By contrast, business, science, and NeoTech are generally rooted in history’s most realisticandimportant thinker -- Aristotle. He represents the commonsense, earth--bound seeker of knowledge via nature--created reality.

Neothinking Roots

Neothinking is rooted in Socratic wide-scope questioning and Aristotelian wide-scope logic. Neothinking yields optimum competitive advantages -- often at Aristotle’s golden mean. Also, consider Aristotle’s cardinal virtues:

They are the three non-manipulative character virtues of courage, temperance, and justice plus the intellectual virtue of prudence offering practical wisdom yielding reliable judgments. By contrast, Christianity’s cardinal virtues are the four manipulative virtues of faith, hope, charity, and humility. …Which set of virtues stimulates competitive creativity to yield prosperity and health throughout humanity? Which set of virtues stifles competitive creativity to yield stagnation and death?

Creative Destruction

In 1952, Austrian-economist Joseph A. Schumpeter was quite correct in his identifying the economic-and-social benefits of competitive “creative destruction”. Neo-Tech, for example, often involves the creative destruction of the corrupt, the stagnant, and the regressive. Indeed, an essence of Neo-Tech involves the nullification of those scourges by competitively leaving them behind to dry up, shrivel toward null points, and then forever blow away.

#5 -- January-July 2002

Seventy-billion dollars were lost in the great crash of 1929. But, who are responsible for the seven-trillion dollars lost in the year-2000 stockmarket crash? Moreover, who are responsible for the even-greater, mortgage-debt liquidation losses to come? Bush, Enron, and September 11^th are not. They are not the root cause of the debt-ridden housing bubble to burst probably after the 2004 elections, perhaps as late as 2009. Al, Bill, and Bob are the root cause. In the 1990s era of endemic dishonesty, the economic troika of look-good/sound-good Bill Clinton, Alan Greenspan, and Robert Rubin set up a decade-long time bomb -- perhaps a Freddie-Mac/Fannie-Mae housing-loan meltdown and then a debt-liquidation debacle occurring years after they are safely out of office.

Political-genius President Clinton started the looming debt crisis in February 1993 when he began corrupting the supposedly nonpolitical Federal Reserve. He lured fame-and-romance seeking Federal-Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan into breaking both precedent and principle by having him embarrassingly sit politically in the president’s box next to Hillary Clinton during her husband’s first State-of-the-Union address. From that moment onward, former Gold-Standard/Ayn-Rand-acolyte Greenspan freely bought into the media/celebrity approval of Clinton’s self-serving, political-and-economic machinations. Greenspan then swooned and sold out to Keynesian machinations in accommodating Clinton’s agenda.

Al’s Story

(1993-2006-2010)

Fed Chairman Greenspan joined by a suave Robert Rubin readily conspired to plant an “after-I’m-gone” time bomb of unsustainable debt: Arriving in the mid 1990s, the manipulation genius of the new Secretary-of-Treasury

“silent” Bob adroitly facilitated the tax-raising Clinton/Greenspan pyramid schemes. Rubin designed an artificially high dollar to mask inflation and foster lower interest rates. “Rubin the Regulator” then corrupted the

International Monetary Fund (IMF) to bail out his Wall-Street banking cronies facing debt defaults from Mexico and elsewhere. …Rubin thus corrupted the global system of international debt to the lasting harm of especially the working classes in developing countries.

Most harmful to America, Rubin created delusions of budget surpluses and falling government debt by covertly “borrowing from” (plundering) social-security funds from which most baby boomers will never collect.

Thus, that Clinton-Greenspan-Rubin troika kept inflating their debt bubble. To facilitate that bubble, they created an era of accounting frauds to hide deteriorating government-and-corporate balance sheets along with

unsustainable debt growth that continues to this day -- and possibly continuing until even after the 2008 elections before the debt collapse is complete.

Especially dangerous are the unchecked interest-free/low-interest/variable-rate mortgages combined with frivolous debt-driven consumption -- a well-proven formula for personal, family, and social disasters. …That bubble will continue to inflate for perhaps three to six more years before deflating -- probably during President Bush's second term if he wins in 2004.

Bush or any future American President, however, has a way to escape that debt collapse by creating an economic boom to generate earned capital and liquefy balance sheets faster than any possible forced debt liquidation. How?

By (1) nullifying the IRS through the economic “miracle” of replacing income taxes with consumption-and-use taxes, (2) similar to repealing in the early 1930s the disastrous 18^th Amendment that prohibited the sale of alcohol, the even-more disastrous 16^th Income-Tax Amendment must also be repealed to prevent income taxes from ever again emerging in America, (3) privatizing economy-draining Social Security and Medicare Ponzi schemes, and (4) tort reform that eliminates fraudulent business-looting lawsuits.

#6 -- February 2002 Mysticism

Unbelievable what people believe in, act upon, and embrace. They believe in rank stupidities often blended with the ignorances of mindless crowds. They embrace breathtaking irrationalities and mind-numbing mysticisms

ranging from astrology to angels. They act upon life-damaging scientisms and life-destroying superstitions. As a result, they embrace camouflaged cults that propagate lethal faiths and utopian ideologies ranging from

Christianity, Islam, and Judaism…to Populism, Fascism, and Socialism.

Art/Religion/Romance

Neo-Tech’s precursor, nonbeliever Mark Twain, demolished anticivilization icons, especially with his fictional character, Huckleberry Finn. Huck is perhaps the only moral spirit in artistic/romantic literature who never surrendered to the anticivilization. In the end, he “lites out” from the anticivilization and alone heads toward new frontiers -- toward the Civilization of the Universe.

Through Pax Neo-Tech, one discovers new frontiers that allow spirituality to grow not through religion or mysticism, but through art and romance -- a spirituality that flows forever into the future. Neo-Tech aligns with Schopenhauer’s and Nietzsche’s conception of art transcending Earth’s anticivilization. ...Art reflects the redeeming values of conscious life.

Philosophy/Politics/Neo-Tech

Studying and understanding philosophy offer values and advantages in an anticivilization. For example: In 1967, the works of Objectivist-founder Ayn Rand inspired the birth of Neo-Tech. Yet, realize that Neo-Tech is not a

philosophy. Instead, it offers a hitherto unknown form of thinking -- neothinking -- honest, wide-scope statistical thinking. Such thinking yields profitably-predictive knowledge coming from the past, moving across the present, and then integrating that knowledge into a never-ending future.

In addition, through its 1970 ad in Barron’s magazine outlining a future “Capitalist Party of United States”, I & O Publishing Company (the forerunner to Neo-Tech Publishing) served as a precursor to the Libertarian movement and party.

***

What became increasingly negative about Objectivism and Libertarianism was their fixed ideologies becoming petrified within unchanging boundaries. Such petrifaction dooms every closed-system ideology -- good or bad.

Thus, today, the unchanging old guards of Objectivism (dogmatically-fixed certainties) and Libertarianism (arbitrarily-selected certainties) are increasingly lost, confused, and impotent -- stuck in their obsolete

“alchemist” past. Because of certain narrow-scope or tunnel-vision views, the founders, leaders, and followers of the Objectivist and Libertarian movements exhibit at times gross naïveté and ignorance about crucial realities ranging from indeterminate quantum mechanics to self-defense war against genocidal Jihadists.

Consider the twin foundations of philosophy -- Plato and Aristotle: Plato the father of philosophy -- stunningly original, brilliant, and comprehensive -- was dynamically evolving during his lifetime. For the next two-and-a-half millennia after his death, however, politics and religion ossified and then destructively dogmatized his volumes of poetic philosophy. As the most recent examples, tyrants Hitler, Stalin, and Mao dishonestly ripped Plato philosophy out of context to justify their bloody totalitarian rule. Likewise, Aristotle the father of earthbound commonsense philosophy and science was also dynamically evolving during his lifetime. After his death, as with Plato, his philosophical works became ossified and then destructively dogmatized ironically, for example, as an out-of-context philosophical justification for both Christianity and Islam.

Neo-Tech by contrast is not a philosophy. By its very nature and definition, Neo-Tech always evolves throughout the changing Universe of space and time. No one can ossify or dogmatize Neo-Tech. For, it always changes to adapt to an ever-changing eternity.

Neo-Tech forever unfolds open-ended knowledge that determines the future by dissolving the dishonest biases and ideological boundaries of politics and philosophies. ...Neo-Tech liberates those trapped inside narrow-scope/tunnel-vision prisons.

Finally, consider the following letter sent to an Abuse Manager for Usenet newsgroups:

Dear Abuse Manager,

Thank you for forwarding a net-abuse/spam complaint about a Pax Neo-Tech posting to a libertarian newsgroup. Ever since establishing the www.neo-tech.com website in 1996, fervent Libertarians and Objectivists have reacted with energetic flames and ad-hominem attacks across the Internet. In fact, the orthodox Objectivists rushed to establish a fully-moderated newsgroup -- humanities.philosophy.objectivism -- explicitly and solely to forbid even mentioning the word Neo-Tech!

Even a cursory examination of the occasional Pax Neo-Tech postings, including the attached sample you sent, reveals such posts lack any attribute of spam or net abuse.

In fact, the content of each post is stingingly relevant to that newsgroup.

Neo-Tech, moreover, does not advertise, promote, or sell on the Internet -- not even
