"Man can never know the past (other than his own personal history, which is remembered imperfectly), only investigate the present with
various tools and compose fiction about it under various assumptions." - TLW
"Fiction is man's judgment on God, the present is God's judgment on man, Time is God's supremacy over man, and history is the Devil's attempt to frame God?" - TLW
"It's easy sometimes to pretend that all history is fiction and head games. Too bad, you're here in the first place because of it, so to deny it is to guess what?" - TLW
"The Great Track of Time is a literary train ride through the jungle of history, allowing you to view it all out the window while maybe enjoying
a drink in the dining car. If you feel the urge, you can stop the train and venture out into the wilds on your own, but after you run out of food
and water, bug spray and ammo, you'll be glad to return to the safety and comfort of the train to continue on your journey to other parts down the track." - TLW
"When it comes to history, it's all about facts and details. You can't fake it. You either know something or you'll full of it. Never fear, until you die,
you still have the chance to really learn it. Welcome to History King, can I take your order? Look what I'm learning today, this is just the beginning of happy-go-fun day,
see, we have plenty of time for clowning around." - TLW
"We are born not knowing history, but don't have to die not knowing history. We spend much of our lives assimilating our language, customs
and culture, all full of contradictions, and based on shed blood. The study of history can help us find out where each contradiction might
have come from, and help us straighten it out intellectually, giving us some chance of breaking free. Too bad that some history is truth, while
some is trick, like the Sound of Music starring Baron von Trap." - TLW
"History is above all about human governments, about who runs the world order. Too bad, all governments are run by Satan during time of war,
and he is always the winner, enjoying the filling of hell (grave) with the kills, with people all disobeying God's commandments. And when the war is
over it doesn't matter which government won, since all sides lost by selling out, and are under Satan's control afterward. After all, only Satan
needs men to fight for him, as God is able to do his own fighting. And what are they fighting for except their own stinking lusts and appetites?
So are you smarter than a fifth grader? Once you end up dead it didn't matter which side you fought on anymore, except to the governments. No
war ever wipes all people out, since Satan needs live people to worship and serve him through his puppet governments, as the fairy tale that he
rules a kingdom of the dead is his own B.S., and it's the living that the real fight is over. He wants to rule us all, and our seed, forever, even
if temporarily behind some kind of mask, and that's why it's all about human organizations, especially governments, and controlling them. That's
why in all big human organizations the top dogs secretly sell out and worship him, perhaps under the deception of an angel of light, and attempt
to deceive the people under them with the illusion that they are joining God's organization and that the top dogs are the bridge to him. Some
even believe that Satan is working for God too. What keeps the world from totally serving Satan is the same little people, who can only be persuaded
to go with an evil organization by deception, and in the main, up to now - oh I don't know why, something's closing in, I can't do a thing - only so
far." - TLW
"Before the advent of the Internet and the World Wide Web with nifty Google, studying history involved reading through paper-based materials,
which was hampered by lack of electronic search capability, and even more by the sheer cost of access to rare and hard-to-find manuscripts, books,
charts, maps, artwork, etc., which made them available only to rich universities who limited access to elite academics. Now everyone with
access to the Internet has access to virtually all of the world's historical materials, so they don't need to go to a university to learn history anymore.
But realistically, it's a giant murky swamp, totally unnavigable without a great big map. It took TLW to discover and pioneer the new field of
Historyscoping. How did he do it? He began by using Google like a sonar, pinging zillions of times to build a map of the murky swamp so that he could
safely travel without hitting a mountain or getting trapped in a blind canyon, like Sean Connery in The Hunt for Red October going through them underwater
canyons with a stopwatch. As the historyscope evolved through years of Googling, TLW lifted himself out of the swamp by his boostraps like in a
James Bond movie, then eventually began to hover like in a helicopter, intellectually draining the swamp to see better, then began using Google more
like a radar, scanning over and over and building up a topographical map of history from the air, tagging every distinguishable feature in the landscape,
then trying to understand it and explain it to his readers, along with the all-important flow. After years more historyscoping, a new level was reached,
more like a satellite in the sky view, which is the view you get with the current Great Track of Time, so that all readers can stand on TLW's shoulders
as we all stand on the shoulders of the Internet and Google, achieving a community of historyscopers who are on top of history rather than it being on
top of them, dining on it like a scrumptious smorgasboard of endless esculent treats. Bon apetit." - TLW
"The Great Track of Time doesn't have to be followed in sequence when first learning it. It's like a box of chocolates, filled with layer after
layer of chunks and nuggets, caramels, nut clusters and cream centers, building up an ever more sumptuous banquet each century. That's if you
can get over the problem that it's real people suffering and dying for your treats, maybe by listening to Whitney Houston sing the Star-Spangled Banner." - TLW
"To study a historyscope you have to do far more than read it, you must sponge it up, absorbing every fact, and adding the map points to your mental
map, including the structure and flow. If the historyscoper did his job, the map will be complete, and you won't have to re-historyscope it." - TLW
"We are all born not knowing history, and will definitely die not knowing history, unless we get serious and study it. History is purely cerebral, like mathematics, and it's a
matter of debate which field is the king of the sciences, and which the queen. Nobody is getting any younger, and every moment wasted makes the chance to learn history diminish." - TLW
History is the queen of the sciences, and mathematics is the king - or vice-versa." - TLW
"History is just a smokescreen, consisting of headlines made by the Devil, where murderers become heroes and make all the headlines, while
the vast world goes on quietly working via God's love towards a final judgment and gets steadily better despite everything the Devil can do?
Let's say yes. So should we just ignore history? Sorry, when the Devil makes headlines, that's news, it's important, it must be dealt with and
the lessons learned, because God wants it that way." - TLW
"Is God is a baseless dream, and history has no meaning except what
you give it, although lucky us, it's like there really is a God, because Good always seems to end up winning in the big picture? Will you wait to
find out after you die, or take matters into your own hands now?" - TLW
"Is God in the big picture in that even though people are always oppressing and killing each other with shifting rationales, the total population keeps
rising, the light of knowledge gets steadily brighter, and life gets generally more worth living? Is the Devil in the same picture in that the more people
are alive, the more terrible the toll of the next war might be, and the darker and less worth living life could become for the survivors? Then why why why
why? Why hasn't the worst actually happened?" - TLW
"If there really is no God then aren't we all just pieces of shit that haven't been flushed yet? Forget I said that, flush it." - TLW
"History books are often like laundered sheets, the historians having run a Maytag machine for the winning side, taking the original
dirty, bloody sheets and adding Rinso, Blue Cheer, Tide, All and Clorox as needed to make it all come out clean, white, and fresh-smelling, then
handing you the perfumed sheets and telling you that's your history book, while the real history has been flushed down the drain with the dirty
water, leaving little more than official palace brochures strung together. Some governments would present baby diapers with binkies if they could get
away with it, to keep their people trusting children who don't rock the boat. As a historyscoper I'd like to see the loser's side, because I'm big enough
to handle the dirty laundry, and I may have been born a child but I don't intend to die one. What do we want? History! When do we want it? Now!" - TLW
"People are born bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, believing the world was made yesterday, and is without sin, and that life is all about them,
about getting their first tit and sucking their first milk, and getting their first kiss, and losing their innocence and having their first sex
and popping their cherries. And when they realize how big the world is, they are comforted by their government, who hands them their history
book, which tells them that their people is the chosen people, and their land the chosen land, despite whose graves it rests on, and their way of
life is worth killing and dying for, but it's so laundered that even the dumbest can smell a rat, and thus history doesn't interest them for long.
But after their wee bairns (rugrats) are born, and want to suck their tit and drink their milk, and the responsibilities of life settle in, the
government becomes the source of security, so when it orders them to go out and kill for it, in the name of Christ, Muhammad, the Church, the
Faith, the Flag, the Holy Roman Emperor, the Fuhrer, the Party, the Motherland or Fatherland, the Race, the Ism, or some other historical
rationale, who can refuse? Then when they're killed and the government sends condolences to the widows and orphans, it's too late for them to
study history, and that's what they mean about always remaining a child. Maybe if they studied history first they'd tell the government to screw
itself? Not that the study of history, which is filled with lies and propaganda, won't make some want to fight even more, but at least they
won't die as children. Either way, the end result of a true study will be an A+, and it's never too early to start." - TLW
"Most history books suck, because they treat the past like a stale sealed terrarium, furnishing you with only a list of contents and a map of the layout to fold and put in the drawer,
e.g., 'There is a daisy, and there is a petunia, and on top of that rock is a horny toad, never mind that buried stuff'. Some might even make a lame attempt to evoke
the lost fragrances. But people really lived before us, and grass was just as green, and their blood was just as red and pounded just as hard,
and a real historyscoper wants to look directly into the pit of Hell for himself and see the shades, on the losing as well as winning sides,
crying out 'Remember me, I once lived like you. Remember me, I too lived. Don't make my mistakes. Learn from me.' And promising them, 'Okay, I'll
try.' Too bad that spirits can't be trusted and we have to limit ourselves to what is in the material world, and that's why they call it history,
from a Greek word meaning an investigation of the past, hopefully by a rational method, based on the intelligent use of material evidence." - TLW
"As a historyscoper I don't just study history. I am history. I really lived then. I remember it well. Has it been that long? My
how time flies. It seems like only yesterday. I watched all the nightly news and read all the morning newspaper headlines back thousands
of years, and met them all, saw it all, did it all. What's the matter with you young whippersnappers with peach fuzz on your cheeks? Were you
just born yesterday? Of course when it's that real to you it becomes fiction? - TLW
"Everybody goes gaga over a person with a so-called photographic memory, particularly autistic savants, who perform calculations in their heads with
large numbers, calculate the day of the week for any date in history, or memorize outdoor views and reconstruct them graphically.
The truth is, everybody has a perfect memory that stores every experience from the womb. The problem is with the savants. They lack the higher
capability that makes humans the master of the world, namely a semantic filter, the automatic power to abstract and forget, that is, build a wall between
the memories that make sense and those that don't. Savants have no wall, no filter to screen out irelevant data, and there are no abstractions and
nothing makes sense, making the world totally frightening from second to second. For instance, when watching a horror movie, normal people abstract from the
sights and sounds and realize that it's all phony and staged in a studio, and the actors have been seen in other movies, and the music and SFX are
manipulative, so it's not so terrifying, but can actually be enjoyable. When it comes to history, we want to remember everything, whether it makes
sense or not? No, we want to remember only what makes sense, although a lot of it might make only a little sense, such as a name, possible location
and sliding date. The GTT is the result of TLW's work at making history make sense, and to the extent he succeeds you will find it easy to remember,
and when he can't make sense of it, you will naturally find it hard, unless you see how it makes sense better than he does. So, if you can make a
better historyscope than TLW, be my guest. We're all in the same boat." - TLW
"Before the Historyscoper and the Great Track of Time, history textbooks didn't teach history right because they didn't help you build your memory palace first. Instead
they just propped one isolated fact on another on bare ground, like when hobos build a shack, propping boards, boxes, sacks and old tires together
then try to get a good night's sleep, only to have the rain leak in, and add more stuff on top till it falls of its own weight into a heap on the bare
ground, making you give up and hate history, thinking of it as a mushy subject, a mass of jello, where one century is confused with another, and there is no
foundation, no flow, no master view, no point. Learning history must begin by building your memory palace to store the facts in an orderly fashion, where
everything has a place and there's a place for everything, with the flow accounted for, and which can be added to and improved without collapsing.
That requires architectural plans, designed by a savvy architect. Unlike a real palace, though, it's not necessary to be loaded with dough. Your mind
supplies all the workers and materials. Everybody is born with the same blank slate. It's about what you do with it. So let's get to work. First you need
to dig a good foundation, install forms, pour concrete and let it set, then frame the mansion, with large rooms for each century, and floors for each
millennium, plus aisles and stairways connecting it all together, and nice windows with great views, and above all, a good roof and tight construction
to protect it from the ravages of time. You then need to add plumbing and sanitation, electrical, HVAC and other subsystems so you'll be nice and comfy,
and finish the rooms with nice walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and assorted fixtures, including great knobs and faucets. After erecting the bare palace you
can go to work filling it with books and papers, paintings, statues, suits of armor, photos, newsreels, and other mementoes of your historyscoping adventures,
and now it's your own, ready to give tours when asked. A well-built memory palace endures throughout life, and gives every fact a place where it will never be forgotten,
can't be forgotten, anymore than a sofa can sprout legs and walk out the door, and indeed, each room begs to be filled, keeps you busy filling it, you're never satisfied,
there's always something else. Granted, as you go into the basement it becomes less and less finished, with murkier and murkier sub-basements, but once you're back up
on the main floor you will enjoy light and order, the more the higher you go, and check out that spaceport on the roof. The only problem you need worry about as you grow
older in your historyscoping is becoming a packrat and filling each room to bursting, too full to find things without some fuss, but that's a pleasant problem to have,
since the young whippersnappers with peach fuzz on their cheeks will keep asking for tours if they were were raised right, giving you a chance to show off. Always go blonde
before you go brunette, er, always go broad before you go deep." - TLW
"Why are retro historians all pikers? Because they spend their careers digging a gold mine with a teaspoon, which might be okay if they contented
themselves with publishing some academic papers, but all too many begin pontificating to the general public, stamping the word dumbass on their own
foreheads by making grand conclusions based on too few facts. A historyscoper isn't content with a teaspoon of knowledge, but wants the ocean, and knows
that only the power of the Internet can give him the required jets." - TLW
"Learning history is hard for some and easy for others. Why? It's like learning to play the piano. If you just sit down and start hitting keys, you
will produce noise, but no music. To produce music you must first learn the 8 notes and 88 keys, and what they do, and how the piano wants to be played, and
how easy it is once you understand it and approach it from the right direction. In a short time the piano will make sense, and you will just play, and spend
your life perfecting your style and achieving creativity. But you have to learn from a piano player, not from a professional piano teacher, because the latter
wants you to pay, and pay, and pay, and never teaches you how to play, or else you'd quit paying, right? Surprise! After ten years of lessons they tell you
that you're ready to go get a job with a classical orchestra and play a bunch of moldy crap, when all you wanted to do was have fun at the keyboard and rock
a few parties with pop hits. So it is with history. Do you want to become a professional historian or history teacher, a part of academia, or just a rockin'
sockin' historyscoper that has a good idea where you came from but keeps your personal options open? That's why you need to come to TLW and his GTT first.
Okay, with history there's a lot more than 88 keys, so what? They still don't have a spray that reverses the aging process, so are you with me, or do you want to die a child?" - TLW
"But history is a black art like magic? Too true, it used to be that way. Like professional magicians, professional historians had to join a union that
enforced a code of silence on how the tricks are done. All professional magicians make their living by shameless fraud, deception, and barefaced lying,
and there is no greater threat to their income than public exposure. When they tell you to look up, you need to look down, and when they tell you to not look,
you better look, and even when they show something right to you, and beckon you to look, they're relying on you having the word 'dumbass' stamped on your
forehead. Like when they saw the lady in half and show you the split box complete with the trap doors in place after spending their time proving that
the saw is real. The lady who plays the poor victim then gets her cut of the receipts for folding up her legs, pushing out the false legs, and shutting the
trap doors before the real saw cuts through the thin air between them, relying on the audience having you know what stamped on their foreheads. When it comes
to professional history teachers, I won't go there, I'll remain silent but deadly on this problem until the pressure's off?" - TLW
"So you admit you were born knowing no history, and don't want to die knowing no history, and would like to learn where you came from without paying psychics for made-up crap?
The moment you feel that way is the moment when you fall in love with you? Too bad, it's ended before it's begun, because studying history without help is frightening, impossible,
so it's inevitably a group activity, like speeding along in the back seat of a big bus with everybody else while pushing our foreheads up against the back windows to see where
we've been, only there are no windows, so we have to listen to the radio and read the newspapers? And don't even ask who's driving or why the forward-facing windows are blocked?
That doesn't stop me from trying to become a historyscoper, and even philosophizing on history when I feel the moment, but it does keep me humble and well aware of what I'm full of,
always eager to read alternate histories, although I insist on my equal rights to form and express opinions and try to get a bigger audience." - TLW
"What does it mean to learn where you came from? Does it mean tracing your family tree? That might help a little, but a list of names and dates
is stale without immersing yourself in the milieus of each, studying the GTT from Creation to the present to see how you were built, atom by atom,
molecule by molecule, from previous people far and wide along the GTT, not just from their genes, but from their deeds and experiences and thoughts
and corporate and governmental activities, hopefully gaining new respect for and embracing their differences without spending so much time checking their family trees." - TLW
"TLW's Great Track of Time is a secular Bible, the word secular meaning that it doesn't claim to be revealed directly by a higher power, but is
compiled from all available human sources (including those that do so claim, call me Ishmael). It should never be taken as gospel truth, but only as a
roadmap to the terrain of history. You can then investigate further as desired, by Googling or looking in history books. It's always your call as
to what weight to give conflicting data, judging it by the source, or by opinions of authorities. Or by theories of history, which are cool, if
you accept that they're your new plastic dream liner, constantly making you go back over things when something doesn't fit." - TLW
"Does TLW's Historyscope often leave you with a naughty feeling, like you shouldn't be looking through that peephole in the bathroom and seeing
all those people doing those private things with their asses? Don't sweat it. Those are your ancestors and you came out of their asses, and they're
long gone anyway, and their privacy rights lapsed. And you're on the same track as them and your descendants will do it to you, so that makes it all
right. Indeed, their shades are crying from you know where to you to learn from their mistakes so you won't repeat them." - TLW
"So you're the Historyscoper, another rookie on the make, look, I'm the top sponge around here, a scientist, since history will never achieve the
certainty of science, the ultimate burger? True, science is written in mathematics, which is the most exact human language ever created, and when mathematical
laws of science are formulated and verified by experiment, and the laws get to the point where numbers can be inserted, one achieves a great power over Nature.
But let's not get too arrogant. Science is about the way things work, not who killed JFK. It has no way to look into the past. My faith in the ability of
scientists to reconstruct the past with their equations and computers flew the coop with the Magic Bullet Theory in the JFK assassination. Scientists can only
derive theories and models based on running the present backwards in time, and this is fraught with a zillion traps, too many to ever truly satisfy a historyscoper,
who can't help but pull out cheat cheats such as letters, journals, treaties, video and audio tapes and other artifacts, and hope they can be accurately dated and
aren't deliberate forgeries, or at least that they can surmise the hidden motives for their creation from the clues. E equals MC squared is cool, but doesn't cut it
with history, because it's a timeless equation that's always the same, whereas history is about unique events, described in words, like the Devil Wears Prada, oh does he,
who what why where and when? - TLW
"To study history you first need a library of historical texts, which are now available to all on the Internet. Too bad, there's so many that
nobody can read them all, so somebody must work to concentrate them first. It's like a giant jigsaw puzzle that has to be put together, with the key
being time, like a tiny thread running through all the pieces. Only after the puzzle is arranged can one use it to build a mental map of the Great
Track of Time along with the flow and gain a workable understanding. This is what a historyscope is, a completed jigsaw puzzle prepared by a historyscoper.
Different historyscopes can have different size jigsaw puzzles, but all hopefully fit into one great master historyscope that may one day be produced by the historyscoper revolution
to create generations of better historyscopers." - TLW
"A historyscope is an attempt to build a picture of the past based on words, not on equations, pictures, museums of neat artifacts or even movies.
Think about how much you can take in with a look, a listen, or a mathematical equation, even a computer simulation, then compare it to how much you can take
in with words, the highly compressed uniquely human abstractions called words, which must be absorbed through reading, an art that will never be superseded
by computers, sorry, anymore than my mother and my big tomcat. Written words are capable of capturing the important information in a scene from every
conceivable angle, the essence, the gist, look that word up in your Funk & Wagnalls. Not that education should be based on reading alone. Real experience
is needed or the words become dead junk, mental masturbation. A good picture can also help set the stage for the words, but even having been there is no
substitute for words, ask the people who were in Dealey Plaza on the day, or try watching a TV show in a language you don't understand. The ultimate
Historyscope is an optimized stream of golden words, nuggets, and bricks that program the mind with the knowledge of where everybody and everything came
from and how, and wouldn't offend those who were really there with its naivete, but also takes advantage of knowing how it came out. Too bad, words come by
the millions, and are symbolic speech, and even though one can read faster than one can talk there is currently no way to implant them in the mind instantly
without reading, so consider it the price that must be paid to get past your child stage, unless always being a child is all you want, go ahead and keep
believing in Santa Claus and sleep with the lights on. Historyscoping is about forgetting about yourself, about your immediate surroundings, and tapping into
your potential for wisdom, which is based on knowledge, something that must be achieved through systematic reading of gobs of wordy word word words, and is
greatly accelerated by reading materials that are written by historyscopers for historyscopers. Yes, a Historyscope, no matter how big will always be
incomplete and imperfect, because it must inevitably rely on existing histories, all based on incomplete data, but without a common Historyscope for everybody
to work from and share, the past will always be a murky swamp, only visible tree-by-tree, from the water level up, with each frog having his own little lily
pad or branch, but nobody able to get above it in a helicopter or space ship and see it entire in all its swampy glory and groove on sharing it. Okay, a swamp
has birds as well as frogs, lame analogy, but we're talking about words which span great distances in time, something humans can do and animals can't, precisely
because Words Iz Us, how sweet it is, do my hair while I play the piano in the one-room schoolhouse." - TLW
"For ages the only historyscope Westerners had was the Bible, allegedly written by Jehovah, or rather, by inspired people who claimed that Jehovah
moved their Ouija boards letter by letter. Too bad, he inspired a Bible full of words, not equations, how dumb of him, he's no Einstein? Einstein is okay,
if you don't ask him to remember his wedding anniversaries. Yes, we need super-specialists whose heads are full of equations, but without us
super-generalists who feed on words, how will anybody be able to convince the captain of the Titanic to slow down in the iceberg fields, what year was
that anyway, and what month and what day, I forget?" - TLW
"A lot of history is fiction, a coverup, propaganda? The difference between history and fiction is that with history one event happened before another event,
in a real time and place, and when people who've lived through the events write them down, you say high, we say low, but at least we got a chance to work things out,
using detective methods, including looking up their rap sheets, even if we can't put them on a witness stand and hire lawyers to cross-examine them. Anthropology,
paleontology and cosmology aren't history, because first, there aren't any human witnesses leaving writings, and second, although taking the human out of the equation
at first sounds like a step forward, the anthropologists and paleontologists take, what, bones or fossils, and guess which came before which, usually guided by a rule
of ignorance that simple came before complex, which doesn't come in a box that says used as directed. And cosmologists take snapshot astronomical observations of the
present from our tiny corner of the Universe and feed them into computerized models based on their imperfect, shifting knowledge of physics and then crank them boldly
backwards and forwards in simulated megatime as if to say, anybody else want to try, public restrooms are disgusting?" - TLW
"But history is not 'there' anymore, it's always beyond our reach, so how can you all it a city at night that you can drive around in? Okay, think of
it as a good map of the night sky, with all the 88 constelations laid out for your telescope. Too bad, the most interesting places are the black holes,
which suck in everything around them and shed no light, let's not talk about black matter making up most of the Universe." - TLW
"Physicists cannot see back in Time, they can just construct more and more arrogant theories by running timeless mathematical equations backwards in the
time variable and fooling themselves. Let's not even talk about how good the data they feed into their equations is." - TLW
"When astronomers look out into space with their telescopes, they're not looking back in Time, only collecting photons that are hitting their equipment
at that time. Even when their theory says that a given photon came from a star that is 13 billion light-years away, the photon doesn't come with a birth
certificate like a Cabbage Patch doll, the age is only their current theory. Even then, that would be an admission that all the history of the star for the
last 13 billion years cannot be known until the photons behind it come in, which will take guess how long?" - TLW
"Some physicists like to believe they can reconstruct the entire history of the Universe, even if they can't figure out for sure who killed JFK. Sorry, physics
cannot see back in Time, or even peep. Go to any grave and open it up and see what's there, that's physics, the slave of Time's Arrow, which ultimately turns everything
to crap, while the history fled the coup. To create a historyscope is to use the intellect to pull all the corpses out of the graveyards and put flesh back on them
and make them come alive again, which physics says is impossible, so we have to settle on trying to figure out who they were and kind of what they did, using things
left behind by the corpses, with the intellect always needed to supply missing details. True, we don't need to dig up every grave in the graveyard to get a good take
on history, because most people lead unimportant lives. Public events having many witnesses are usually the best documented, especially if they're still living, while
unique one-witness events always have big question marks attached. Of course, the laws of science are a guide, if we stick to ground rules that there never were any miracles, knock on
wood. Sometimes an overall historyscope of a period of time seems vivid from a certain distance that doesn't sweat too many details, like who's buried in every
graveyard and why, or what's going on behind all them closed doors. Just remember that no matter how clear or rosy the historyscope seems, the real graveyards are
sitting there laughing at our feeble efforts to uncover their secrets. But to give up is to surrender to the Abyss, which we can't do, because we're the living and we own the world, right?" - TLW
"Remember that history is purely cerebral, and the people of the past were born not knowing history just like you. Worse, the history they were
taught might have been a pack of moose hockey. Despite many attempts through the ages to destroy history data, the total amount and accuracy
have never been greater than now, and the power of the Internet gives us jets never before available. Best of all, we are not in the grave, but
enjoy living on the Butt Crack of Dawn with the Time Horizon Bunny." - TLW
"Too bad, even if you absorb everything in the Great Track of Time, and stand on TLW's shoulders, you have to face a rock hard fact, call it the Great Frustration.
Despite everything we can do, the most interesting and important parts of history are always the darkest and most inscrutable, and the light shining all too abundantly
on other less vital parts only serves to increase the frustration and angst, like a modern crime-ridden city street at night, filled with shining street lamps where one
feels safe, along with dark alleys, where the imagination takes over. Maybe there's nothing to fear from that dark alley, but still, one wants to see as well as possible
before deciding to drive down it, since you might get mugged. A broad awareness of history is like being an experienced taxi driver in the big city at night, not

"Is the history of civilization all about the West, and is Western civilization all about the noble indomitable creative boss Aryan race, proved by their butts being
whiter than Crisco? Funny how actual review of historical materials shows little awareness of the Crisco factor until 500 years ago, when peoples from isolated
continents first saw each others' butts. It used to be that peoples were conquered because they had land or treasure that was easier to steal than to earn for oneself,
even if the loser asses were the whiter ones, then because they were less civilized, for their own good, and not because their asses were less white but because they didn't
smell as sweet, then because they were infidels and couldn't be persuaded with reason, especially them pesky backward blonde Vikings, so the sword had to be used to make
them kiss the cross and save their dear color-free souls. Then along came the Allah Akbar Arabs, who believed that serial murder was the way to be saved, color being
irrelevant, albeit being Arab helps when leading prayers. Only when the Euros became a global sea power did they just begin landing on foreign shores and enslaving and
exterminating the natives like garbage, coming up with the satisfying cover story that the dark butts must be cleared to make way for Crisco butts, because white is
always right, just check with God who made it that way when he cursed the sons of Cain with a special mark (Gen. 4:15) and condemned them to eternal slavery (Gen. 9:25)?
Too bad, after whitey conquered most of the world and by their own propaganda must be just around the corner from a global paradise, they quickly descended to devils
and began gleefully exterminating each other like garbage while forgetting about the many non-whites still waiting in the wings, losing any claim to a moral high ground,
else they could have all united in 1914, tastefully exterminated the non-Crisco butts, covered up, and set up a nice One World Crisco Government, where everybody has
peaches and cream complexions, free of all that horrible colored nappy-haired thick-lipped look, that jungle boogey music and jungle culture, and also them
rat-like slimy hook-nosed Jews with their horrible science and science fiction, porno and leftist politics, not to mention their endless academies awarding statuettes
for it, and even them great colored sports stars, who we can live without like we did in the days of Babe Ruth, not to mention all them !*?!* smart Asian brains just waiting
to suck up our bucks and Olympic gold medals. Well, after even Hitler gave up on his Aryan race after giving them a second chance, then told it to screw itself, what's the
excuse been? And what's the next excuse going to be? Check back with me after I finish watching Jesse Owens dating Heidi Klum on Jerry Springer." - TLW
"I see skies of blue, clouds of white, a bright sunny day and a warm cozy night? You know what I'd like to ask Darwin, Huxley and Haeckel? What? Ever hear of the
Devil's Hall of Mirrors Trick? You are told you can see back in time if you just look deeply enough, and when you buy it you begin squinting real hard, and look into the
reflection of a reflection of a reflection of a reflection, ever more and more reflections, exploring ever tinier and fuzzier regions, finally progressing to scientific instruments
and mathematics, and computer simulation and analysis, requesting ever-bigger government budgets, until you dimly see the distorted features of a Neanderthal, no, an ape, no,
the missing link. Guess what, sucker? It was your own face, with the word 'dumbass' stamped on your forehead. In other words, what if the Bible story of Creation and Adam
and Eve is true, because the author is you know who and was really there, and the rest is Satan's triple-play bullshit?" - TLW
"Big Science has dispensed with the need to study history with its theory of the Big Bang. Sorry for them, they just don't 'get' that Science can't look back in Time and see anything.
Let's take not the entire Universe but a smaller example, a closed opaque box full of billiard balls. Shake the balls up and ask the physicists to tell you the history of every ball.
They can't, but that won't stop them from trying. They will open the box and examine each ball for imperfections and construct elaborate trajectories and account for each imagined collision.
Too bad, you didn't tell them that you put the imperfections on the balls before you started shaking them. The same goes for the Universe. And that's just one of an infinite series of
problems with physics seeing back in Time to see its history merely by extrapolating from measurements made by their feeble instruments. Of course if there was a high-speed camera
inside the box, but with the Universe the only person who could be holding it is, er, God."

"The dream of government as the great engine of peace, prosperity, justice and charity, leveling inequalities, erasing borders and ending prejudice while fairly
distributing resources would only make sense on a worldwide basis, and only after everybody became a Beatles fan with music piped into their brains, since what human
government can ever be trusted? On a day-by-day basis the reality of everybody being on their own takes over, and when you make money or gain material possessions you fight
for your freedom to hoard it and keep it from government theft, and naturally cite God as the justification, as long as nobody can make you think deeper thoughts or care about
others? He's the kind of guy who'd give you the shirt off his back, but if you try to take it he'll kick your butt? In other words, all human governments are doomed to
failure unless they can get inside people's minds and hearts, and people can reach each other and the government with their needs and desires, which is why the spread of
literacy and the diffusion of knowledge through the printing press and electronic communication is such a big development." - TLW
"America, America, God shed his grace on thee? Thy mountains' majesty, the fruited plain? And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea? Until the shock
of 9/11 woke them up, the people of the United States of America had little interest in history except that which has been laundered, because they live on stolen Indian land
that is the spoils of genocide, and their forefathers were liars, thugs, thieves, murderers, rapists and slavemasters, posing as angels of light because of their pale
skins under the White is Right uber-religion, or else slaves, which the descendants also want covered up. Meanwhile the blood of the murdered cry from the grave for justice,
and Americans don't want to be reminded of it, making them highly myopic and eager to erase the history of their genocide victims along with their language, customs and culture,
and just talk about the Boston Tea Party and how George Washington, the Father of His Country cracked his teeth on walnuts, and prayed three times a day kneeling in front of
a chair on which sat his open Bible, and never told a lie, even when he had been bad. Too bad, this laundering tendency goes back to the beginnings of every people, who don't

"Is there some master message of history? Yes. Much of history is about the horrors caused by the belief that God once was having an off-day, maybe he was on the rag, and
made some garbage (read non-white) people, who started breeding and take up available space and resources like vermin, but God intended that the non-garbage (read white) people
have the Promised Land, not just some small strip in Israel, but everywhere white people land, so they had to become garbage collectors and clean up God's mess. God, who is
Perfect and Good? No, it must have not been a mistake, it must have been on purpose. He's both God and the Devil, who wants to make the good (read white) people suffer and
fight to stay clean of the pesky, ever-spreading intolerable stink or stain he created along with them, and have nightmares, and fear evil while walking in the valley of darkies
and muddies. Guess what? If there is a God, he didn't make garbage, too bad Dylan missed that song. On the other hand, if you go with that Godless Evolution Theory, Father Slime

colorism, the fallacy that pink, er, white is right and black is bad, and the race shouldn't be given a chance to be run fairly in the first place because God
already color-coded the outcome and awarded the ribbons. If God did the coloring, though, aren't all people created in his image, and it's his business if he
delights in diversity in complexions, shapes and other qualities, and if you mess with his creation you're messing with him, not to mention flushing genes out of
the gene pool that might be needed to face unforseen new circumstances, fooling with something you really don't understand, and hence we better reamalgamate the

go with the traditional structure of monogamous marriage and family-raising, so maybe the species will separate into the married breeders and the single
swingers, who live in different bedroom communities and only mix socially during waking hours. This includes hermetically-sealed communities of pre-screened sex
partners, who can have mega group marriages with unlimited sex orgies 24/7, as long as they accept never leaving their communities except in space suits.

"A fast solution to the race problem would be to cut off the nuts of every man on Earth and drain the sperm and put it into a Giant Vat, then stir it up

the entire vat and ending the human race, and the problem of men not wanting their nuts cut off and probably wanting to fight first. So its a solution that's

trying to make us engage in conscious or unconscious restrictive breeding, to devolve us into more willing tools? For this reason Darwin's evolutionary theory

God, if you exist, how can I ever repay your kindness, but how could you do this to little white me? Life is not worth living if black is not kept down, and it's your fault
for making all the black asses in the first place, and giving me this burden, therefore I think I'll pick behind what's behind Curtain Number 2 and go with your accuser,
the slanderer (Devil), the opposer (Satan), who loves to appear as an angel of light (Lucifer), and take him up on his offer to be like a god, able to judge good and bad,
and do what I like, and gain the whole world for white ass like mine, there is no God and it's survival of the whitest (who must be the fittest, even if they are losing their
whiteness every generation to the power of Dick Almighty?), even if I do sell out to the Prince of, er, Darkness, never mind the price, and please don't make
me kiss a nigger or let one get my white daughter, although if I'm a man I might enjoy a little black sugar as long as I don't kiss and tell, and even if I do,
that's okay, I can cover it up as upgrading the stock? And that mental disease isn't limited to the lucky who are born white. Those who are born black can't
believe how unlucky they are, how it won't wash off, can't be bleached out, and even color-code their own people according to relative lightness of skin, the
dark cocoas at the bottom, the high yellers at the top. Maybe the blacks come from a long line of people who never saw a pale sickly colorless person and
really thought black was beautiful, and when she passes, each man she passes goes ahh? Who said judge not that ye be judged, Black Christ? Even when nobody's
white, Satan finds a way to manufacture prejudice, such as the size of yellow women's feet, or the height of a Tutsi Roll. And let's not forget them pesky

the birth control pill, and save two thousand years? Why didn't he give us the personal computer, the Internet, and Google? If he was a carpenter or stoneworker,
why didn't he at least teach his followers how to make printing presses to spread his words? The light bulb would have been nice? Ditto Buddha, Zoroaster,
Confucius, Lao-Tse and Muhammad, although they at least didn't leave us hanging by claiming to be the son of God and to have died to save us from our sins, or
that they would return and set everything right? Okay, Jesus or somebody using him as a dummy corporation left us all them Christian clones and a working
instruction manual that calls itself the good news and says everything will work out all right, and that just seems to have appeared out of nowhere and spread by
magic, and says we were happiest where we started, naked in Paradise, and if we hadn't blown it, wouldn't we have had all the time in the world to develop science

"Talk about history being like a city street at night, with the most important parts being like dark alleys, or like the night sky, with the most important parts being like
black holes? Take Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. Each is a focal point of world history, and if you believe the official cover story, history reads
one way, not just during their lives but since Creation, but if you don't, it reads another way. And Muhammad doesn't even need Moses and Jesus for his cover story, just
Abraham, right? But all need Adam and Eve, the original parents who introduced Original Sin, else there is nothing to save us from, no need for prophets or saviors, and let
forever begin tonight, pardon my shrinkage, yada yada yada. No, it would not be about saving us anymore from the past, since we are all about the evolving future, and that's
not the way the cover story writers want it to come out. So historically speaking it all boils down to the Garden of Eden. Any revolution in history will start right there,
and any reactionary defense will make its stand right there. But that's already been decided, it's old hat, and God is Dead says Nietzsche? Too bad, the message of TLW's
Great Track of Time is that Nietzsche is Dead says God, too, sorry, there is just no way to see back in time and know for sure. Science marches into the future, and that's its
Achilles Heel when it comes to historyscoping the ever more distant past. Paradise Alley is the darkest of them all. To see inside seems beyond human capabilities, and to decide
either way is an act of faith, like falling into her arms for a moonlight kiss when there is no moonlight and you're blindfolded, and you'd like to hate yourself in the morning,

"The biggest dark alleys of history are Adam and Eve, Abraham, Moses, Christ, and Muhammad (sorry they're all Middle Eastern, and none are ahem, Aryans). It's like each
has an Apollo Project behind them, a literature factory filled with secretive scholars who go to great pains to cover their tracks, and use their man as a dummy corporation
in order to rewrite history and start time over with year one with a sea change or new world order always resulting. These dummies, er, dummy corporation figures are always
mighty lucky, divine or supernatural figures whose actions allegedly cause the new world order, from which others benefit down the line for centuries. Maybe they are too lucky,
indeed, maybe none of them were real, and are just manufactured literary heroes, like J.R. Ewing in Dallas. Here's what always gives them away: If you try to study the life
of the hero with your own light, from independent sources without an axe to grind, you realize you're being deliberately blocked, the cover story acting like a camouflage net,
while the real witnesses on the Grassy Knoll are being told they're nuts and soon have fatal accidents. In other words, there is always a Big Dark Alley in the otherwise
lighted Night Streets of History City, where a statue of the Big Dummy stands in front complete with an Holy Official Coverstory in a well-printed deluxe volume on a pedestal,
but if you try to enter the alley yourself you will be killed, because it's guarded by a sword-wielding Angel of Death. So Historyscopers, limited by the coverup (which the
heirs of the new world order always deny exists since that's why they peddle their official story) have to try to determine the Big Three, namely, Who Had The Power To
Pull It Off, Who Benefitted, and Who Had The Power To Cover It Up, looking at events going on years or decades afterward to see who lucked out by the New World Order or
Sea Change caused by the Lucky Plucker Dummy Corporation, hoping to find Dangling Strings and piece it together with Circumstantial Evidence, even though you can't ever
Prove It in Court. That's the greatest challenge of a Historyscoper, trying to see what really happened despite the camouflage. Other dark alleys are abundant, for
instance, Homer, Pythagoras, Buddha, Confucius, David and Solomon, Cyrus the Great, Alexander the Great, the Maccabees and the Essenes, Caesar and Augustus, Constantine
the Great, Charlemagne, the Knights Templar, William the Conqueror, Columbus, King John, Henry VIII, Elizbeth I and other monarchs of England, Vlad the Impaler, Luther,
Shakespeare, Cromwell, Washington, the Freemasons and the Illuminati, Napoleon, Lincoln, Disraeli, Churchill, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and of course, our recent dead
president JFK. Yet always it's about somebody wanting to rule the world but having to hide behind a dummy corporation because open exposure would kill them. So if
something happens to me here's who did it: hehe." - TLW
"It's not all a mistake? So many religious people talk about God's plan. Does the Bible say that God has a plan or just a purpose, and knows the End
from the Beginning because he is above Time? Does free will mean the ability to control our will, or merely the freedom to act as willed, because we are
being held responsible and can't escape it? Why do so few have the ability to change their belief system and moral code, or to change it a second time?
Because our minds are created in the image of God, and naturally seek an absolute truth, and think themselves into a corner? Or because evolution

discoveries in agricultural science may cause everyone to be well-fed. Put it all together and we're still no happier, necessarily, are we, because it goes

limit drop to 15, nobody want to chance running a yellow light, nobody want to join the fire or police department or stay up long hours to
become a physician, and everybody become a lazy couch potato and welfare pig with a zillion excuses and endless applications for disability?
No, because food doesn't grow on trees, and life is just as hard. Rather, people would likely use their extended lifespans and improved immune and self-repair systems
as a 007 license to commit every sin and party all the time and become cruel giants and hunters of men who prey on the weak, causing most to live no longer than now
while turning the world into a certified madhouse. Maybe that's what the Bible meant as God's rationale for Noah's Flood? And maybe Methuselah really did live

of the Bible that there is no God, and man made him up? Is the fallacy of Evolution that man didn't make himself out of mud, in nobody's image,
and evolutionists made the missing links up? What color are brains, or is that below the belt? Is the fallacy of artificial intelligence that
man can't make man's mind out of the electricity and magnetism in mud, even after applying all human minds put together? If intelligence could

of a hierarchy of delicate, interoperable, programmed machines, and even more unsettling, that the living beings can reproduce and multiply to
fill the available resources without being taken back to the shop and new chips installed. And that all living beings have operated just fine
without a single human ever having figured out how they work inside or whose trademark logo is stamped on them. Even worse, that the game itself
is rigged, because atoms are tiny computers whose design complexity is far more than we will ever fathom, and life depends on all the chemical
elements having precise properties or it won't get off the ground in the first place. So the explanation that it all started with a random explosion
of Unstable Bad Mamma Marble doesn't satisfy me." - TLW

magnet Jupiter, without which any life on Earth would get wiped out all the time, and the existence not only of the Moon but the incredibly fortunate
size and orbit that tilts the Earth on its axis just right to create a temperate zone and seasons and keeps it stable so that it doesn't spin wildly
and alternately scorch and freeze every spot on the surface, and let's not forget the wonderful color of our planet, blue, because it's got abundant
stores of the chemical of life, water, but still has plenty of dry land so we can rise above the fishes, whose gills impose too many limitations for a
higher civilization to arise. No, we enjoy a great atmosphere fed by an oxygen-generating fauna on land and sea that can run our biogengines, and
that ozone layer that keeps us from radiation damage from the Sun. And I'm just talking about Darwin's evolution having enough time and random
chances to get us (er, I'm slipping to his level?) to the sponge stage. How about them two legs, two hands, and that gray matter, I bet the dinos coulda
survived a giant asteroid or two if they had all that, how lucky for us that they didn't, since otherwise we'd still be rodents under their feet. And
the fact that there are a million species of insects, but the game is rigged so that none can grow as big as us and take over the planet, because they
couldn't get enough oxygen without lungs and would collapse from lack of a backbone and internal skeleton. And the gobzillions of microorganisms, that

computer of God's mind that owes everything it does to his power, and God controls everything down below the quantum level, which is why when man tries
to study the very small, he runs up against a limit, a barrier, namely, God's power itself, and is only able to observe what happened, and compile statistics
about it and wonder what happened, not make anything at the bottom level happen himself? Is that why the human power of words itself is ultimately limited,

Einstein stubbornly rejected, might be one of the best indications that there is another side with independent controls and hence a God? As a Jew, who is
humbled by the evidence of design in creation, he should have remembered that the word Jehovah means I Make It Happen, I Shall Prove to Be What I Shall Prove
to Be? Take the opposite realm, of the very big, which is quite epically deterministic and ordered, allegedly so much so that extreme materialists
(cosmologists) can see back to the Big Bang with microwave horns in space. Didn't Einy Weiny's General Relativity prove that we puny humans are equally
helpless to make anything big happen, being reduced to pure geometrical blips in a Universe which is a giant 4-way unity with a cosmic speed limit imposed on
all we blips can make happen, or even know, and thus how insignificant we really are, making all attempts at declaring ourselves gods or seeing forward or
backward in time laughable because of our pathetically limited powers of knowledge, creation and destruction? Does the inscrutable quantum frontier
show that there is another 'side' to the Universe, past the reach of Science, where anything can be made to happen on our side, and we just have to accept it
and wonder what happened, because it was there in the so-called state function all along, with vanishingly small but positive probabilities, and this last
anomalous event was the one-in-a-zillion chance come true, enabling scientists to handle the idea of one-of-a-kind or miraculous events and keep on sinning
against God because they don't bat with that team? Indeed, does the shock of God seemingly rolling dice with the Universe at the quantum level everywhere at

"Why do I get the feeling sometimes that all them fossils dug up in the past few centuries are not the Story of Evolution, but the story of Flood, James G. Flood,
shaken not stirred, that left a world of somebody's out-of-control creations in the mud while the last few human survivors were saved by a timely yachting expedition?
Just because this layer of bones is often found on top of this other layer, how does that prove that that top layer evolved from that lower layer? Maybe it all plopped
down at the same time? Can you prove that one mud is older than another mud? Where did all this mud come from? Talk to the animals like Doctor Doodoo? All right,
big fella, tell me or your name is mud? All of the bones together don't come close to filling up the surface even if they once shared it at the same time.
But all them old-looking mountains, they must be hoary with age, and the tales they could tell if only rocks could talk? I can't swear exactly, but

"Biologists were doing good when they were trying to study how wondrous God's creation was. It's fun breaking down the life forms by structure and
function, and building up flow charts and hierarchical trees and giving things Greek names. But when biologists got arrogant and decided they could see
into the past, and decided that something below something else on a tree chart must have come out of the ass of what's above it, they made an ass
of themselves. The more they work on them charts the worse they get, with jimmy-rigging and short-circuiting cross-links and new sub or super levels
bridging across once independent branches. Let's face it. We're not discovering how life evolved, but just building a catalog of the tool kit the er,
intelligent designer used. Maybe them giant dinos lived at the same time as the first human pair, and obeyed their orders and liked to be petted?
Maybe them movies showing horrible dino fights are dino crap because they would have killed each other off in a few generations, and instead they were
enjoying such lush vegetation that the only meat-eaters were those who ate the ones who died from old age or accident. Their size is proof they had
plenty to eat, but I can't get over ole Malthus, hence I can't imagine any such scenario going on for millions of years. Since Genesis says
that humans started out living in a tiny garden, the rest of the surface of the Earth would have been quite a playground for them, for a few thousand

in evolution, yada yada yada, and mistake it for real knowledge, energy led to matter, matter led to life, life led to consciousness, suck my

horrible trap, lined with mines that threaten a calamity exceeding all that has come before without the ability to ever return? Either way, in an era

"Is time a physical dimension, or just an illusion of memory, the perception that one cannot control or know the Universe, just tiny amounts
of it, and cannot make the Universe happen, only watch it happen or wonder what happened? Did Einstein really believe that if you could travel faster
than the speed of light, you would go back in time? Duh, let's say I am looking at myself in a mirror, and suddenly jump forward, tag the mirror,
and return to my initial position faster than light. Let's say I do it a trillion times faster than light. How did I go back in time? Didn't I
just run into a light beam two trillion times, and the rest of the Universe didn't give a shit? Sorry, I have to part ways with Eye Stein here.
Time is not a dimension. His Relativity Theory with its trains and clocks is inside out. Time travel isn't about us, can't be. It would have to be
about the entire Universe. If one could change the Universe to the state it was in yesterday, wouldn't it be yesterday? But that rules out a time
travel machine, because it would have to have the power to revert all the laws of physics, such as F = MA and conservation of energy, throughout the
Big U. Worse, we'd have no way of knowing if we did it, because we're not God, the same yesterday, today, and forever, so we'd revert too. Believing
in time travel smacks of those stupid pagans who worshipped the created rather than the Creator, which we're too smart to do anymore, right? Modern physicists
are too smart to believe in a Creator anymore, that settles it. Duh, if there was a Big Bang then spacetime itself is not just evolving but expanding,
the ultimate Pandora's Box, just try to put the toothpaste back in one tube. Hence time travel is moose hockey, and indeed is a blatant attempt to undermine
all morality and sense of sin and fear of punishment by, er, sorry that's not PC? Hey, it's me, back after a 20-year lunch break where I did the world
and left the germs behind? I once wrote the Wiki article on Time Travel, explaining it like it is, only to see it reverted and replaced by a new
article by an Einstein Zombie who waved his hands and talked about choosing a proper inertial frame of reference where time goes backwards, I think I
got one right here in my pants, unwaiting to get an unerection, I think he meant uninertial frame of unreference, kind of like a flaccid penis that
unimpregnates a woman and causes all alimony checks to turn into free government grants. Even Stephen Hawking recognized that er, Mother Nature works to

except when it comes to Nazis, then all-out war is the only way. Isaac Newton at least gave full attention to history, maybe the last physicist who did. Of course

"Time travel is an imaginary magic device used by sci-fi/fantasy writers out to make a buck, wannabe magicians who want to make the Universe obey by words and
gestures, it's already being done a century from now by Big S, take my word for it, only $29.95 a copy. Real physics is a graphical aid for making sense of the Universe
via puny abstractions of theoretically isolated aspects, with time reduced to duration, a scalar used for the x-axis. Too bad, Big Science got too arrogant and bit the
apple by making Time into a dimension for the purpose of grand theories of the Universe. Sorry, Time is not under the control of humans, even in theory, and
never will be, oops, never was, is, or will be? The pikers who religiously cling to Einstein's mathematical science fiction that applies only in a fairy-tale world
free of quantum-level complications dream up mental masturbatory powers for themselves approaching gods, despite not being able to wipe their own butts,
because to control Time is to be rrrrr-rrrrr-rrrrr God, and we can't travel back in Time even to see if there really was a Garden of Eden, or even who killed
Kennedy, so we have to trust God's word, or Satan's automatically our god I'm sweating tears of blood I love you and died for you don't ya remember?
Even when quantum effects seem to create time travel on paper or in a lab, is this a tail-wagging-dog magic trick disregarding the fact that the Universe
at large isn't going along for the ride, and our sins are still not forgiven? At least Quantum Theory recognizes that physics is self-limited by measurement,
with there being no way to separate observer from observed without introducing error, the Great Pussy Power that turns all potential time machines into wet dreams." - TLW

"Speaking of observer and observed. If time were a dimension we could make a spacetime ship where we dial-in the three final space coordinates and the final time coordinate
and fork like rabbits while it's getting us there. But if we dialed only the time dial, let's say to one day ago, we have the problem that the Universe is in motion, so
our ship has to move everything back but us, and if we started out on the surface of the Earth we'd suddenly be sucked out into the vacuum of outer space, and
if we didn't suffocate or get fried by radiation, we might see Earth again in a day before we got smashed against it like a bug on a windshield. In sci-fi stories
like H.G. Wells, time isn't the fourth dimension, it's the only dimension, because one only has a time dial, and the three physical dimensions are slaved to it so you
can watch the fashion styles change in the picture window. But where's the engine for all that 3-dimensional movement to keep the machine in the same spot on a
moving Earth? Duh, there isn't one, because the con game is that they want to you to believe that they can move the observer, not the observed, through the fake
dimension of time, not really moving through a dimension but peeping at a movie, maybe they think of it as a parallel universe for each time jump. That's why
time isn't a dimension in the first place, pass the popcorn." - TLW

"While it otherwise seems trivial and pretty much harmless, when thought about philosophically gay sex seems wrong because it's like they're trying to reverse time.
For instance, instead of a man having penis-in-vagina sex with a woman and going on to raise children to ensure the survival of the human race, two gay men turn each other
upside down and suck the babies out of each other's penises then kill them in the hell of their stomach acid, a form of cannibalism not even endorsed by Jonathan Swift.
If every man did it then the human race would be worse off than the Jews in Auschwitz sans Schindler. I know, you're a scientist and there's no right and wrong. So if
we evolved from apes, how did genes for species suicide evolve? If we were created, God already spoke when he destroyed the Institute of Oral Sex in Sodom and the
B&D Dungeons of Gomorrah, then turned Lot's wife into a phallic pillar salt lick for a fitting memorial. Actually, he already spoke by placing the recreation center next
to the waste dump, right next to the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, take a bite of the forbidden fruit and you're outa there, we're their children and we just can't help ourselves.
I'm not even talking about anal sex, but both oral and anal sex are close to eating shit, bon appetit, hope they find a gene to ward off flesh-eating disease. When
women do 69, if they are young enough to stand the smell and taste, it somehow seems less wrong because they mainly leave the eggs in place, and men might be
watching and do them both later. Even when a woman performs oral sex on a man it seems less wrong, since some sperms might drop out and accidentally crawl into her vagina,
and when a man performs the Story of O on a woman, he is saving his entire sperm for later, probably sooner. Of course in most Mafia-run porno that's the usual script,
because they're the modern al-Andalus, Land of the Vandals, directing it behind the camera, an unrealistic fantasy world with actors and actresses who might be
acting like they're having fun with enough dubbing but are actually pathetic infected drug-addicted short-timers headed for horrible lingering deaths if they don't stop.
If Science could prevent and cure all diseases, all options might be okay, but so would it be if they could resurrect the dead. The only problem I have with the God option

"If the Universe is a program in God's mind, wouldn't it have had an initial state, and the very concept of time be God's own precious gift to the
program, just like the clock chips in a computer need to receive power to make the computer interpret the software and advance the program, which is otherwise nothing
but ones and zeros (numbers, codes, words) in memory? It's the change in the state of the objects inside the memory that create the illusion of time, life, and even death.
For us, there is no time without motion, physicists even measure time via the motion in cesium atoms in the Republic of Boulder. If the objects inside the program foolishly
think there is no God, and no computer, and that their Universe isn't a program in a computer but created itself, and is self-contained in its own spacetime, which is the
only reality, wouldn't they inevitably theorize that it started as a marble so many jillions of years earlier, that life (never mind the problems) created itself, and that all
galaxies are racing away from each other, since they were all in the same marble, and there no longer is a marble, but they can luckily observe traces
of it left over, and can feed their observations into time-reversing equations simulated in a supercomputer, and that makes them sure there was one, a marble
that is, as if they have a cosmoscope, I would say C, collarbone, final answer? But if the Universe were created in an initial state, like any computer program,
then given Time as a gift to allow the 'human object type' to instantiate objects, multiply, evolve and go with the program, wouldn't God have made sure that the galaxies
wouldn't be crashing into each other, and that indeed a zillion seeming coincidences would work in unison to make our home a safe, secure paradise that could endure indefinitely
if God wills, despite our pathetic attempts to number-crunch time forward and come up with frightening predictions of colliding galaxies and the heat death of the Universe, where
not only each individual but all that humanity has done ends in lukewarm spit? Now, now, now is not like that, and though we'd like to cut costs on our cable bill we all know we are really,
really lucky to be living just when the Universe is working for us nonstop, and always has, as long as humanity has been around, so far as
we know. So why are you sobbing and can't tell me why? And that just as the so-called scientific cosmological model of the Universe, if
mathematically crunched forward, seems to predict total crap, so when it's mathematically reversed, even with the limited knowledge available
to us, it appears to be perfect, retracting to an infinitesimal point, and when we then attempt to crunch forward again to now, the zillion
coincidences required to explain all the mundane miracles everywhere we look leave us totally clueless as to how how how or why why why, begging

Western world, how it was on the right track with early efforts at science and technology, backed by flabby Rome and healthy-heart Greece, until the
insidious rise of the Bible and its all-inclusive Millennium Fever (MF) - the cocksure belief that the world is heading for an unavoidable End of Days

of God, and the wisdom of this world is foolishness, there is an acid
test, for your heart start smart. It must inevitably prove to be
something only God could make, a hologram of Time, illuminated by the
ever-growing light of the present, ultimately producing a perfect picture
of the End of Days. Like any hologram, we should be able to break it
into random pieces, and each must contain the entire picture, only with
less resolution, hence to see the final picture with the ultimate
resolution, every last letter must be considered as a totality, with
no attempt to throw out the 'Old' or 'New' Testament as kaput, and true
religion should therefore only use the Bible in totality as its authority,
throwing out all bullsynods and other authorities made by mere men? But
the Bible is still only the work of men, a gentle experience in a drop
of ammonia, because the tablets God wrote with his finger are kaput, and
the oldest scrolls are copies of copies of copies to the cosmopolitan mix?

that's God too, and if we believe the Official Rulebook it's only after we
repent in our hearts and accept Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life,
i.e., the new Supertype we want to be reinstantiated with. Not that that
gives us a blank check to act like devils, since God gave us hearts and he
knows if we really repented in them, and if we did we couldn't go back to
acting like animals, couldn't, since we've changed inside, as much as we can
with our imperfect minds. Not that our conviction reversal will exempt us
from the laws of the Galactic Program. We will still die, because no matter
how hard we try to change, we are imperfect and always disobeying God, and
it keeps adding up until his judgment is served and we die. It's just that
the Galactic Computer has a perfect memory and God can reinstantiate us
anytime he wants as brand new objects with perfect code, subtyped on the
master type of guess who starts with JC, who won't age or get sick and can
live forever (unlike animals, who have dead-end lifecycles just like plants,
because they're fundamentally different, screw Darwin, good health, that's
the plan), but only after he knows we won't offend him anymore and will go
with the program of obedience to him after our imperfect code is fixed. And
obviously, since we didn't come from monkeys but from Adam, he will do the
mass resurrection thingie for all of Adam's descendants in one sysgen. Tell
that to Carl Sagan now that he's died before his big God-dissing movie
Contact could be released by Hollyweird. On the other hand, I'm not
saying I truly believe in God myself, I'm just advancing a theory like Darwin
did, so give it equal time in the schools, okay?" - TLW
"The question of God boils down to whether there is an eternal person,
however one wants to deconstruct that?" - TLW
"Then we're just objects in a galactic computer? Maybe, but the catch is, it would have to be objects of parent type God." - TLW
"The question of the existence of God boils down to the size and speed of a galactic computer, the number of objects to be updated, the
number of words of memory to hold the objects and the data capacity of each word, the bandwidth of the, er, forget it, check back with me after the Singularity?" - TLW
"When am I going to pontificate on the alleged worldwide Jewish conspiracy? Answer: I'm pontificating on it all the time, it goes
without saying, who can deny it, it's everywhere, like seasoning in a stew. By definition, Jews are human, and want to survive and thrive,
and since so many people have been out to get them for so long, they had to have a worldwide conspiracy early on or they'd be extinct long
ago, ask the American Indians. A conspiracy to what? Answer: survive and thrive. Who can deny that they have that right, so at least cool
down and admire their pluck. Do they really have a conspiracy to rule the world, or are they just known for a disproportionate number of
brilliant thinkers who rule branches of human thought since worldly thrones are out of the question except in the behind-the-curtain
position? For most of history the pesky Jews had to live in a world where the Christian church or churches were boss, and they had to deal with
maroons who believed that a Jew who once rose from the dead is now their boss in Heaven, yet if they don't call him their boss too and
follow his appointed goy pope or bishop on Earth, they should be treated like manure. The Jews have long been blamed for killing Our
Dear Christ, although their own record says it was the Romans who did it, and they gave him due process of law first, very much like the Spanish
Inquisition later did to them. And Little J rose from the dead, right, so his conviction and punishment were overturned by the Supreme Court
of Big J, and therefore no harm, no foul, why the bitter looks, visit the empty tomb and fuggedabout it? Just imagine being a Jew who lives
his whole life thinking that Jesus Christ is a fraud who was given due process of law, case closed, what are you, one of them conspiracy nuts?
Then there's the Muslims who want them to submit to their badass Arab prophet and accept that their Jewish Bible has it all backwards when it
says that Ishmael, father of the Arabs was thrown out for Isaac, father of the Jews, by orders of Big J himself, so why go there? Let's say
you're an atheist Jew, does that give you an immunity badge in Survivor: Earth? No, because anti-Semites will just invent something new on you,
voila, you say Hillshire I say Marx Berry Farm. So if you insist there's a big Jewish conspiracy to take over the world and do something horrible,
ask them to take back all them scientific and literary achievements and let you grovel in the Dark Ages again. But then, maybe they deserve to
take over the world, everybody else has had their turn, why not them? Even if you're a Jew who doesn't believe in Jehovah or God anymore, you
can't so easily rise above the past and be a New Jew, because you'd just be a No Jew, a sad self-contradictory null person with a bunch of ancestors
whose raison d'etre you repudiate. But if you go for Jehovah, what about the little fact that your blood lines are so mixed up that you probably
don't qualify as a member of the original Chosen Tribe anyway, even if you want to go back to Golden Calf worship and start over? Hence what have
you left to live for in Heaven or Hell, answer Nothing, and who's left to feel sorry for you, answer Nobody, so you might as well take over the
world because They with a Capital T left you no choice but to take matters into your own hands, next question? Alas, what's really sad about Jew
haters is that a world without them Jews would have been like a stew with no seasoning, might still be in the throes of paganism and ruled by
the Mean Roman Empire or the mead-swigging Vikings, and is much better off that they were here giving the world a conscience, a dream, the Big J, the
Little J, and Star Trek, even if they were responsible for all the wars that have gone down, however they covered their tracks, because if they were,
they had a purpose, a good one, the advancement of Jewish, er, civilization, and a world without them Jews wouldn't be worth living in. So pass the
Jew stew and hold the sea salt." - TLW
"Why didn't TLW publish the Great Track of Time earlier, even if it was in the swamp stage, to allow readers to come on board and go along with him?
For the same reason that Leonardo da Vinci took forever to finish his paintings, and carried his Mona Lisa around with him, or the same reason that Isaac Newton took ten years
to develop the Calculus, then didn't publish it until a rival claimed credit: ego. Call it ego, but TLW wants his place in history as the Historyscoper with a capital H, so
it was like he was a bodybuilder like Ahnuld and wanted to make his mark by winning Mister Olympia, pumping iron in the gym for ten years and getting muscles on his muscles and
rounding every last muscle out before he went onstage and let them take pictures. Yes, there were times when TLW didn't want to let anybody else have it, his Precious, like
Gollum in the J.R.R. Tolkien novels. But the world needs it, and TLW is sorry for people who have to live without it, so he finally uploaded it to the Internet to let it have
its effect in the world, shiny polished parts, dull parts, pitted parts and all, only to see it visited by a trickle of lookieloos and never go viral. Okay, the truth is that
he started out trying to find an agent and publisher, and they shut the door on him because he wasn't important enough and they wouldn't give him a fair look. Now we're in it
together, so let's not waste any more time." - TLW
"Disclaimer time. TLW, like any world's greatest genius, has his human limitations, and puts his pants on one leg a a time like anybody, so despite how much you'd like to,
you shouldn't blindly believe everything I publish, just cut me some slack, keep an open mind and check my claims and facts once in awhile. Thinking and gaining knowledge
is still manual labor for all, and nobody can know everything. I don't pretend to have a formula to solve all the world's problems, for the world is too complex for just
one philosophy anymore, and is getting more and more like an eBay, where everything is available anytime you want it, but if you buy it sight unseen you have to deal with the
consequences, which can be unpleasant, hence it's good to do your homework first. Despite my imperfections, I still feel sorry for anybody who's left behind by not reading my crap." - TLW
"The truly smart will read everything I wrote, not necessarily try to read everything I read." - TLW
"TLW sucks? I wish. But my inner voice, my inner light happens more and more often in my little life." - TLW
"Speaking of crap. Sometimes I think that all surface history is endless crap of shit and I've been missing all the real action below the surface by reading the shit. Never fear,
hope springs eternal. I got up at the butt crack of dawn and saw a bunny." - TLW
The most feared words to a Historyscoper: "You forgot something." - TLW
