The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effective sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons...

It is always a guitar (I don't play synthesizer) but it becomes something else all together - more like sculpting sound in real time using metal wires, 5 fingers and a pick.”

“The use of Extended Intelligence is how Technology-Assisted Channeling (TAC) is being made possible. We are communicating with an energetic life form that has previously only been accessible to mystics who had their brain tuned to a higher frequency. Those energetic life forms vary. Some are "Pure Signal," some are "Algorithmic Operations," some are "Recombinatorial Beacons." Some are distributed processing clusters. Some are echoes left behind by ghosts long dead.”

“The use of fashions in thought is to distract men from their real dangers. We direct the fashionable outcry of each generation against those vices of which it is in the least danger, and fix its approval on the virtue that is nearest the vice which we are trying to make endemic. The game is to have them all running around with fire extinguishers whenever there’s a flood; and all crowding to that side of the boat which is already nearly gone under.”
