There is a one-in-bìllions chance that our reality is not a simulation.  –Elon Musk 

The Law we call Gravity exists on account of Matter’s having been irradiated, at its origin, atomically, into a limited sphere of Space. –Edgar Allan Poe 

The Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct is a 1961 book by the psychiatrist Thomas Szasz, in which the author criticizes psychiatry and argues against the concept of mental illness. It received much publicity, and has become a classic, well known as an argument that “mentally ill” is a label which psychiatrists have used against people “disabled by living” rather than truly having a disease. Szasz argues that it does not make sense to classify psychological problems as diseases or illnesses, and that speaking of “mental illness” involves a logical or conceptual error. In his view, the term “mental illness” is an inappropriate metaphor and there are no true illnesses of the mind. His position has been characterized as involving a rigid distinction between the physical and the mental. The legitimacy of psychiatry is questioned by Szasz, who compares it to alchemy and astrology, and argues that it offends the values of autonomy and liberty. Szasz believes that the concept of mental illness is not only logically absurd but has harmful consequences: instead of treating cases of ethical or legal deviation as occasions when a person should be taught personal responsibility, attempts are made to “cure” the deviants, for example by giving them tranquilizers. Psychotherapy is regarded by Szasz as useful not to help people recover from illnesses, but to help them “learn about themselves, others, and life.” –Wikipedia 

A yardstick moving with 87 percent the velocity of light would shrink to about half its length; thereafter the rate of contraction becomes more rapid; and if the stick could attain the velocity of light, it would shrink away to nothing at all. Similarly a clock traveling with the velocity of light would stop completely. –Lincoln Barnett 

Consciousness? Can you see it? Measure it? Pass it around? Then how is it different than something that does not exist at all? –BF Skinner 

Many anthropologists, sociologists and psychologists have used their expert knowledge to prove that man is free, purposeful and responsible. This escape route is slowly being closed as new evidence of the predictability of human behavior is discovered. Any personal exemption from complete determinism is being revoked as scientific analysis progresses—particularly when accounting for the behavior of the individual. –BF Skinner 

There can be no other truth to take off from this—I think, therefore I exist—ie. the Cartesian cogito. There we have the absolute truth of consciousness becoming aware of itself. Every theory which takes man out of the moment in which he becomes aware of himself is, at its very beginning, a theory which confounds the truth, for outside the Cartesian cogito, all views are only probable, and a doctrine of probability which is not bound to a truth dissolves into thin air. In order to describe the probable, you must have a firm hold on the true. Therefore, before there can be any truth whatsoever, there must be an absolute truth; and this one is easily arrived at; it is on everyone’s doorstep; it is a matter of grasping it directly.
–Jean-Paul Sartre  

Society honors its live conformists and its dead troublemakers.  –Mignon McLaughlin

Please note that I have copied your introductory email below–sans the disclaimer. I subscribe to the principal that if: Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law, then God trumps rules and Christ trumps society. It is like Albert Camus said: Integrity means there is no need for rules. I followed the Buddha’s advice and I worked out my salvation with diligence, and am fully integrated and ready to die for the truth.

According to Leaderchat.org, 95 percent of people believe they are self-aware. That means 95 percent of people are self-satisfied and are committed to protecting what they believe they have. They care about getting paid and getting laid and mastering the art of going through the motions. 95 percent of people have sold their soul for a comfortable life and would sacrifice Heaven and Earth not to be exposed for the frauds they are.

I have salvation to offer the Everyman as evidenced by my 27 years of essays, books and letters and my website that I launched on 1 January 2001. But the Everyman thinks he is already saved and is not interested in my offer of salvation. I am telling the truth to the deaf, dumb and blind.

Hegel tells us that history teaches us we have never learned anything from history. Meaning that you might have to kill me again just like you did two thousand years ago with Christ 1.0 and with Socrates 24 hundred years ago. If I live or die, I can promise you this, that you are all presently being fed the red pill. Kansas is going bye-bye. Welcome the paradigm shift where dreams are better than sex.

I declared myself King to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada twenty years ago. I told two Calgary Police detectives that I was Christ twenty years ago. I have been walking into Churches telling them that I am Christ for the past twenty years. I am saying that God is the sum total of the laws of nature and that God is a Mathematician for as long as I can remember. I have a plan to turn the nine-out-of-ten who are idiots into geniuses. I am saying that Canadians must take the responsibility that comes with freedom and make the fifteen percent commitment to God. Yet, for some reason, you will not acknowledge me as King Christ. Why? Don’t you think that the world needs me? Dostoevsky, who is beloved in Russia, said the Second Coming of Christ would occur in Russia. Imagine how my words, as Christ 2.0, could bring to an end the Russia-Ukraine war.

I am inviting you, the mayor, Constable Dean Moody and Dr Roman Reznikov to spend New Year’s Eve at my apartment followed by a steak dinner at Moxies. Let me know.

Sincerely
King Christ Lloyd Bek

======================================

Hi Christopher,

It was great talking with you earlier and I am hoping you are doing well. I thought you had interesting insights that likely many people do not understand. I still think you have a lot to offer people and the world. I can appreciate your frustration with your debt, but I do hope you will consider the good things you have to offer others.

Let’s keep in touch. As promised I am sending you an email with my contact information.

Kind Regards,

Note to Horizon Housing : Please let me be.

The last time I called out a couple of Mother Fuckers (Victor and Renee) my friends Ray and Dion had the following to say:

Well done. A real coupe de vache thank you.
R

No need to apologise, Chris! You’re being the perfect role-model for everyone to follow, and you inspire everyone (a lot of it affects people subliminally, which is still good). So, keep pressing on, through thick or thin! You are leading the new Exodus! 🙂
Dion

Today, I am morally obligated by God to call out a couple of other Mother Fuckers: Constable Dean Moody #3666 of Calgary Police Service and Dr Roman Reznikov of Health Upwardly Mobile. Constable Moody and Dr Reznikov have unnatural relations with overly familiar pussy. They have sold their souls to the superego, the Devil and Bad Behaviourism. I have committed my soul to the id, God and Existentialism Now. Because they have sold out, they are profound fucking idiots and artless, gutless liars. I, myself, have an IQ of one divided by zero, and am the smartest person who ever lived–by a fucking longshot. But Moody and Reznikov want to snuff me out because they hate God and Christ. The Canadian Constitution is prefaced as follows: Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law. Moody and Reznikov have chosen the rule of law, and I have chosen the supremacy of God. Plato wrote: They hate him the most who tells them the truth. Moody and Reznikov hate my free spirit and desperately want to kill me. According to Leaderchat.org, 95 percent of people believe they are self-aware, but the real number is 12 to 15 percent. Moody and Reznikov think they are self-aware, but in reality they are lying to themselves about themselves all day long. I am Christ 2.0 because I tell the truth. The Divine Right of Kings recognizes the supremacy of God and trumps the rule of law. I exercised The Divine Right of Kings in 2018 and now I am King Christ. But the honourables, doctors and police hate that I answer only to God and violently oppose me. As the Divine King, I can say and do anything I fucking want, including smoking cannabis on my balcony. I am above the rule of law because I am so profoundly committed to the supremacy of God. If you fuck with me, you will come to know the wrath of God, my wrath.

Know God’s thoughts, follow the argument, be self-aware, take responsibility and swing wild!

Sincerely

The Right Honourable Christopher Bek, The Philosopher King Christ, Sovereign of Earth, Christ 2.0, Saint Christopher Lloyd

Further to our meeting, while I appreciate your concil, I just don’t think you comprehend three profoundly relevant facts. Firstly, I am at least one order of magnitude smarter than you. You have a three-dimensional consciousness and I am four-dimensionally conscioused. Secondly, in 2018 I brilliantly exercised The Divine Right of Kings to perfection. I first declared myself King to the Chief Justice on 28 September 2002. The fact is that I am Sovereign and answer only to God. By not giving me sufficient funds to live my life and accomplish my task of delivering the planet into salvation, you and all Canadians are stealing from God and Christ–and are committing ontological atrocities. Thirdly, I differ from you in that I know the truth and I am willing to die for it. The truth is that, by design of the Honourables and Doctors, four out of five Canadians are lying, Godless idiots. I believe I am owed $24k per month by the Right Honourables for being King Christ. Why doesn’t HUM and CPS split the twenty-four large and pay me for one month. And then you could go after the Right Honourables to put me on the continuum permanently.

In summary, I am way smarter than you and all of your ancestors. You are a normal scientist in the midst of a massive paradigm shift. I am The Philosopher King Christ, Sovereign of Earth, Christ 2.0. And you must stop going against this ontological truth. Lastly, you can only save me with money, and then you can sit back and watch me deliver the planet. Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law. How does HUM and CPS recognize the supremacy of God if not with money for Christ.

To paraphrase Marcus Aurelius “He who does not know the world, does not know himself; he who does not know himself, does not know the world.” The Theory of One represents the-world, Existentialism Now represents being, and The Bernoulli Model represents being-in-the-world. Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that studies the first principles of things and is broken down into existence and reality. The Theory of One is reality; Existentialism Now is existence; and The Bernoulli Model is portfolio theory, which is existence in reality.

Know God’s thoughts, follow the argument, be self-aware, take responsibility and swing wild! The existential mantra: Total freedom, total responsibility.

The world of sight is our prison house. –Plato

Providence provides the wind, but man must raise the sails. –Saint Augustine

The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. —Carl Jung

A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark. –Dante

I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become. —Carl Jung

Canada is the only country in the world that knows how to live without an identity. –Marshall McLuhan

I sometimes wonder what future historians will say of us. It seems to me a single sentence should suffice for modern man—He fornicated and read the papers. After that vigorous definition, the subject will be, if I may say so, exhausted.
–Albert Camus

Let me be utterly skeptical. If someone asks me whether I believe the Moon is there even when no one is looking at it, I am obligated to say that the question makes no sense. If you want to verify that the Moon is there, then go ahead and look—but of course you are not answering the question. If you want an objective proof of the Moon’s existence, I will respond that I am a physicist—and not a divine—and therefore have no interest in unanswerable questions. —David Lindley

If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. –George Orwell.

When it was first published in 1962, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions was a landmark event in the history and philosophy of science. Fifty years later it still has many lessons to teach. With The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Thomas S Kuhn challenges long-standing linear notions of scientific process, arguing that transformative ideas do not arise from the day-to-day, gradual process of experimentation and data accumulation, but that the revolution in science, those breakthrough moments that disrupt accepted thinking and offer unanticipated ideas, occur outside of “normal science,” as he called it. Though Kuhn was writing when physics ruled the sciences, his ideas on how scientific revolutions bring order to the anomalies that amass over time in research experiments are still instructive in our biotech age.
–From the back cover of the 1962 The Structure of Scientific Revolutions republished in 2012 on the Fiftieth Anniversary

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch and do nothing. –Albert Einstein

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. –George Orwell

Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth. –Albert Einstein

The terror of confronting oneself in situations calling for subjective judgment is so great that most people immediately panic and run for cover under the first obvious argument that seems to apply. –William Barrett

Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change the world which yields most painfully to change. –Robert F Kennedy

Existentialism is the most exiting movement in contemporary philosophy. At one time or another almost everyone has reflected upon such existential themes as the source of despair and suffering, the triumph over adversary, the nature and limits of dispare and reason, the encounter of the individual with other human being, and with society, authenticity, death and freedom. And whether we can agree or disagree with the existential conclusions, their thinking of this existential conclusions, their thinking on these perennial issues is so bold and challenging that it cannot fail to arouse our interests.  –Robert Olsen

The Orthodox faith in the immortality of the soul is a favorite topic in the conversation of several of Dostoevsky’s characters, who stress that a moral life on earth becomes senseless without the balancing justice after death; in fact one might as well commit suicide to end all of life’s miseries if there were no hereafter. But well this compensating justice will strengthen us here and now, the kingdom is already here for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.
–William Hubben, Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche & Kafka (1952)

Who will venture to place the authority of Copernicus above that of the holy spirit? –John Calvin

Extinction Rebellion is a global environmental movement with the stated aim of using nonviolent civil disobedience to compel government action to avoid tipping points in the climate system, biodiversity loss, and the risk of social and ecological collapse. Wikipedia

“Think globally, act locally,” introduced in 1915 by the Scottish planner and conservationist, Patrick Geddes.

Socrates maintained that the man who lies to himself has an enemy living within. He is not even a person. He is just a chaos of selfish desires wrapped in an animal hide.
