Sam is a native Texan who embarked on a journey to discover himself and in the process, came across the message of liberty. Sam lived the American dream everyone said he should have, complete with: a high paying corporate job, a new car, a big house, 401k, frequent vacations around the world, and still something wasn’t right. Life had lost it’s luster, despite following everyone’s advice. A series of personal effectiveness trainings combined with the right people, events, and influences, began transforming his life from unhappy corporate lackey to activist, filmmaker, and entrepreneur. Today, Sam runs OTN Productions, The Obscured Truth Network, he’s a board member for CD Evolution, and he volunteers time to advance the liberty movement in various ways.
Jesse, recently arrested in the Milford courtroom for refusing to remove his hat, and Charlie, arrested for asking about the hat rule in the courtroom lobby, were both found guilty on Wednesday of disorderly conduct. However, no punishment was required because they were both sentenced to “time served”, which would be the 4 hours they were held on the day they were arrested.
Jesse, apparently not wishing further conflict with courtroom dress codes, wore a suit to trial and followed the court’s desired procedure throughout. Charlie, while following procedure, also went with questions to ask of the court and officers.
The human body is said to be constructed of a few dollars worth of common chemicals, though I’m not sure what the point of saying this is. A blank DVD costs about a quarter in bulk these days, but you could pay thousands of dollars for one that has the bits on the surface rearranged in a preferred way. The software is what makes it valuable. Patterns are what matter.
In a universe equivalent to a blank DVD, the occasional emergence of a pattern more likely to persist dominated the chaos surrounding it and gradually led to the emergence of yet more complex patterns. It’s almost as if the universe itself is making choices, choices that sometimes seem correct and sometimes seem wrong, but it simply seems like a matter of time before it makes the right choices, the ones that move order forward. This is why I occasionally and reluctantly use the word “pantheist” to describe my views.
The human body was constructed over billions of years of natural selection, and of all the parts of the human body, the brain is the organ that stands out. The brain itself is a microcosm, a pattern which like the universe itself, makes choices and enhances the order of its own pattern through the process of learning and responding to the results of those choices, good or bad. Every other part of the human body seems to exist for the sole purpose of ensuring that this one organ can continue making choices, for preserving what we think of as consciousness. I’ve often discussed my predictions about the human race preserving what matters about us, our consciousness, in a superior and more persistent manner such as through some really advanced computer system. Such an advance would allow us to extend our personal lives dramatically; almost indefinitely. (Read on…)
I’m attaching scans of the concepts sketches from when I was designing the anarchy boogeyman. The idea was for him to represent this concept of anarchy that was so scary because it was just very different that what we’d been indoctrinated into. That’s why his parts are all mixed up. He’s gold and black to represent the colors of market anarchy. That’s why he has spots. They’re easy to draw and an easy way to add the black.
I was following a formula for cuteness that I’d read about for cartoon characters. You give them big, wide-set eyes and make them pudgy with short limbs. When I did that at first, he looked way too much like Patrick Star from Spongebob Squarepants, so to make him distinctively different, I rounded his head. You can see the progression in the concept sketch.
Robin Hood paid a visit to downtown Keene this week and came to the rescue of some individuals whose parking meter had expired, saving them from the clutches of the Meter Maid!
