Irreni World Scale

Hi! Zappy Friday! Let's get zapping! So yesterday was the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearing regarding unsubstantiated sexual harassment charges. I followed on Twitter as well as watching live and came to the conclusion that this would make a good teaching moment about Irreni, good Irreni introduction. So welcome to YAII! Yet another Irreni introduction. Irreni is based upon a fundamental principle of massive moral relativism that springs from the information rule. Information rule: treat people as they are, not as you are. Golden rule: treat people as you are. I saw quite a bit of golden rule behavior exercised yesterday in the Kavanaugh hearings that are illustrative of why the golden rule is so pernicious and evil. Golden Rule Corollaries Since you are not X then X can be unnatural and morally reprehensible. Everyone's behavior is my behavior. My experience is everyone's experience. I know it when I see it. Random Observations I'

Eye Witnessed! Happy Tuesday! This is a response to the #WhyIDidntReport posts on Twitter. As a white male in my fifties I thought I would write about some of the messed up rape and sexual assault I witnessed as a kid. This was in the 1970s and 1980s. I also wanted to start a new hash tag, #EyeWitnessed. Child Prostitute I'm going to start with my first and worst, totally messed up witness of child prostitution. There was a girl on the end of block who had a reputation of her Dad pimping her out for money. He had sole custody of her and you just went to his house. I'd see various boys in my neighborhood walk home with her. I don't remember too many faces from that era but I can still see her face, clear as seeing someone today. But the story doesn't end there. I had only ever exchanged hellos walking home. I felt sorry for her because she was ruthlessly teased for being a whore. She was one of the few people in our class who got bullied more than I did w

Systemic Solutions The social problems today like racism and sexism are in part systemic problems and those systems must change. Irreni World Scale erases and replaces those systems because you can't get ahead by staying even. The #MeToo movement happened thirty years ago with Anita Hill. I remember when the Anita Hill event took place and I greatly celebrated the outcome. Today conservatives lament the character assassination of Clarence Thomas all the while overlooking the greater good that came from it. Sexual harassment policies and laws quickly became policy for large corporations. Because of Anita Hill women are treated far better today in the work place than they were before the Anita Hill came forward. Progress. And yet, #MeToo is still a thing. Those corporate policies didn't seem to stop Harvey Weinstein? The rule of law is only as good as its enforcement. George Bush gave Congress the finger after Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley act. He did so by re

A Useful Fiction Hi! Happy Hugs! Sunday! YAII! Welcome to yet another Irreni introduction. Well, I thought I was done with these introductions but then I thought it might be useful to write about the genesis of Irreni. Irreni is a design with guiding principles. These are those principles. Irreni is derived from values taken from a useful fiction. Irreni represents a departure as social engineering in that it swipes left on aspiring to steer in the direction of ultimate truth and swipes right on steering in the direction of ultimate useful fiction. This is that fiction. Conceit In the beginning we don't know what created the universe. We do know what we can observe and that is what this useful fiction is derived from, our very best most up-to-date observations of 2018. From these observations we do know why the universe was created. It was created as an experiment to search for answers about something springing from nothing. Something did spring from nothing.

The Least of Us Hi! Zappy Friday! Welcome to YAII! Yet another Irreni introduction! I was thinking today that my previous introduction, Political Ideas 2018 , was going to be my last introduction before compiling the introductions into a book. But, I had to include an introduction about the least of us. Least of us, noun: a group of people who noticeably have experienced the least opportunities in life. This includes location of birth, genetics of birth, parenting of childhood, education, poverty, health, bad decisions, unforeseen circumstances,   and just plain bad luck. least of us is not a statement of human worth, we are all priceless. At issue with the least of us is that some of the least of us cannot manage their own lives and are self-destructive, for example I'm thinking of drug addicts. Because the Irreni MGO has thirty people then what happens to governing when self-destructive, group-destructive people are an important part of the decision making o

Hi! Zappy Friday! Political Ideas 2018 (Why aren't we having these discussions?) Welcome to YAII! Yet another Irreni introduction! This introduction has a bit of a floral twist and asks the question: where have all the flowers gone? The flowers of our new political ideas? Instead of talking about what Irreni political ideas, this introduction talks about other new political ideas. Where have all the flowers gone? Where have all the flowers of  new political ideas gone in 2018? Here is a very serious question: should our future be lives be filled with concrete or flowers?

Hi! Happy Wednesday! Welcome to YAII! Yet another Irreni introduction. !!! WARNING !!! This introduction is rated BM, Blasphemous Maximus. If denigrating religion causes you pain then don't read this. Today's topic is marketing, memes, and people programming. As a reminder this blog is about solutions and not punditry. Irreni World Scale promotes maximizing free will and therefore freedom by defending against mass marketing, memes, and people programming. Why is Coke one of the most universally recognized words in the world? Coke is just sugar water. The answer? People programming. People are computers that can be programmed. At a benign cultural level we call this marketing. Marketing as programming is nothing more sophisticated than a mental drum beat. Coke's success has zero to do with its flavor and 100% due to its aggressive marketing. Coke, in a sense, is a 100% people programming product. This means that since programming people is its product then
