Information Overload

Schizophrenia is a disease of salience.

The brain loses the ability to tune out information that is irrelevant.

"Patients sometimes say they used to be able to read books, now they can't read books. They can't sustain focus. They used to build models, now they don't. They used to be able to play the guitar well, now that's deteriorated." - Daniel Mathalon, UCSF neuroscientist

"They are walking down the street trying to have a conversation and their brain is being flooded with the sound of the door slamming, the airplane going overhead."- Sophia Vinogradov

"The brain is starting to process all of that information as if it has meaning, and is something the brain needs to pay attention to and needs to do something about."

The social engineering idea of segregating out those people considered unfit to reproduce dates back to antiquity and may have biological underpinnings.

The hypothesis that early humans violently replaced Neanderthals through genocide was proposed by French palaeontologist Marcellin Boule in 1912.

The Septuagint describes the Amalekites – a supposedly degenerate group that God condemned to death for living in a unclean depraved manner.

"While the Jews were still in Rephidim, the Amalekites, a mightily and fierce people, descendants of Esau, and well-trained in the art of warfare, suddenly attacked the people of Israel. The battle lasted a whole day until the Amalekites were finally defeated and routed. An oath was taken to wipe the Amalekites - the incarnation of all evil - off the face of the earth. There could be no peace between Israel and Amalek for all time to come." - Jacob Isaacs

Fitness at this point in time requires the ability to serve God the Father.

At this time in human history there is always an Iærophántis assigned to stand in stead of God as the Caretaker and Patriarch of the Culture.

Even though the position is assigned each asignee has the choice to serve either Wakan Takan or, if they have chosen the dark path, Angra Mainyu.

Intelligence quotient becomes intricately related to the ability to dissemble.

340 BC Aristotle composes The Art of Rhetoric.

"Rhetoric then may be defined as the faculty of discovering the possible means of persuasion in reference to any subject whatever." - Aristotle

Aristotle lays out 3 types of persuasion that can be used in public settings.

Ethos, Pathos, and Logos are the modes used to convince audiences.

Ethos or ethical appeal - to convince an audience of expert credibility.

Pathos or emotional appeal - to emotional manipulation of an audience

Logos or appeal to logic - to convince an audience by linear logical reason.

Aristotle defines 3 ways the Art of Persuasion can be used in public settings.

In classical rhetoric, oratory is divided into three branches: judicial oratory (or "forensic"); deliberative oratory (or "legislative") and epideictic oratory ("ceremonial" or "demonstrative").

Aristotle stresses that rhetoric is closely related to dialectic.

1563 Council of Trent states that celibacy and virginity are superior to marriage.

early 1700s Concerns about environmental influences that might damage heredityleading to ill health, early death, insanity, and defective offspring – are formalized as degeneracy theory.

Masturbation, then called onanism, is presented in allopathic medical schools as the first biological theory of the cause of degeneracy.

Degeneracy theory maintain a strong following until late in the 19th century.

1857 Bénédict Morel published degeneration theory Traité des dégénérescences physiques.

Morel includes images of twelve patients that demonstrat the physical, mental, and moral traits as evidence of degeneration.

Some of these characteristics included altered ear shape, asymmetrical faces, extra digits, and high-domed palates with psychological representations.

Foundation of degeneration theory: psychological disorders are genetic.

Bénédict Morel extends the causes of degeneracy to some legitimate agents – including poisoning by mercury, ergot, and other toxic substances.

Most scientists believe toxic environments cause degenerate heredity.

1877 The sociologist Richard Dugdale believed that good environments could transform degenerates into worthy citizens within three generations.

This position was the backdrop to his influential study on The Jukes, a degenerate family of paupers and petty criminals in Ulster County, New York.

1883 Francis Galton coins the term eugenics perceiving it as a moral philosophy to improve humanity by encouraging the ablest and healthiest people to have more children.

The Galtonian ideal of eugenics is termed positive eugenics.

Negative eugenics, on the other hand, advocated culling the least able from the breeding population to preserve humanity's fitness.

The eugenics movements in the US, Germany, and Scandinavia favor the negative approach.

1893 August Weismann studied how the traits of organisms developed and evolved in a variety of organisms, mostly insects and aquatic animals and publishes Das Keimplasma (germ plasm).

Degeneracy theory dovetailed into his work when he recognized a gradual loss of genetic information which occurs commonly in zoos and microbiology labs.
This basic inbreeding problem Weismann framed as naturally occuring.


Theory of the germ plasm convinces scientists changes in body tissue (soma) have little or no effect on reproductive tissue (germ plasm).

Inheritance in a multicellular organism must take place by means of germ cells: gametes - egg cells and sperm cells - inheritance is unaffected by environment.

It is theorized soma cannot pass information to germ plasm and other cells are unable to influence heredity.

The Weismannian notion that the germ cells are unaffected by somatic cells or their environment has proven incorrect.

Chemical modification of the nucleotide bases that constitute the genetic code such as methylation of cytosines as well as modifications of the histones around which DNA is organized into higher-order structures are influenced by the metabolic and physiologic state of the organism and may be inheritable.

Epigenetic changes alter the DNA sequence.


1899 Fear of degeneracy leads Harry Clay Sharp, a prison physician in Jeffersonville, Indiana, to carry out vasectomies on prisoners.

The advocacy of Sharp and his medical colleagues, culminates in an Indiana law mandating compulsory sterilization of "degenerates."

1900 The model of August Weismann is eagerly adopted by degeneracy theorists who embrace negative eugenics as their favored model.

1904 Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon develop the first modern intelligence test in IQ history.

The French Ministry of Education asked the researchers to develop a test that would allow for distinguishing mentally retarded children from normally intelligent, but non-compliant children.



The moral depravity of human husbandry



1907 The first eugenic sterilization law in the US enacted.

Adherents of the new field of genetics were ambivalent about eugenics.

Mainstream scientists – William Bateson in Great Britain, Thomas Hunt Morgan in the US – shun eugenics as a vulgar unproductive field of research.

Unfortunately, Bateson's and Morgan's contribution to basic genetics is quickly absorbed by eugenicists, who take an interest in Mendelian analysis of pedigrees of humans, plants and animals.

Many eugenicists had some type of agricultural background.

Charles Davenport and Harry Laughlin introduced by a shared interest in chicken breeding ran the Eugenics Record Office.

Both were active in Eugenics Section of the American Breeder's Association (ABA).

Davenport's book, Eugenics: The Science of Human Improvement through Better Breeding, had a distinct agricultural flavor, and his affiliation with the ABA was included under his name on the title page.

Agricultural genetics also provided the favored model for negative eugenics: human populations, like agricultural breeds and varieties, had to be culled of their least productive members, with only the healthiest specimens used for breeding.

Evolutionary models of natural selection and dysgenic (bad) hereditary practices in society also contributed to eugenic theory.

There was fear that highly intelligent people would have smaller families (about 2 children), while the allegedly degenerate elements of society were having larger families of four to eight children.

Public welfare might also play a role in allowing less fit people to survive and reproduce, further upsetting the natural selection of fitter people.

Medicine also put its stamp on eugenics.

Physicians like Anton Ochsner and Harry Sharp were convinced that social failure was a medical problem.

Italian criminologist and physician Cesare Lombroso popularized the image of an innate criminal type that was thought to be a reversion or atavism of a bestial ancestor of humanity.

When medical means failed to help the psychotic, the retarded, the pauper, and the vagrant, eugenicists shifted to preventive medicine.

The German physician-legislator Rudolph Virchow, advocated programs to deal with disease prevention on a large scale.

Virchow's public health movement was fused with eugenics to form the racial hygiene movement in Germany – and came to America through physicians he trained.

Eugenicists argued that "defectives" should be prevented from breeding, through custody in asylums or compulsory sterilization.

Many doctors felt that sterilization was a more humane way of dealing with people who could not help themselves.

Vasectomy and tubal ligation were favored methods, because they did not alter the physiological and psychological contribution of the reproductive organs.

Sterilization allowed the convicted criminal or mental patient to participate in society, rather than being institutionalized at public expense.

Sterilization was not viewed as a punishment because these doctors believed (erroneously) that the social failure of "unfit" people was due to an irreversibly degenerate germ plasm.

1910 Henry Herbert Goddard bring Binet's test to the US.

Goddard believes intelligence is a fixed quantity.

1916 Stanford University psychologist Lewis Terman standardized Binet's original test using a sample of American participants.

Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale became the standard used in the US.

The IQ score was calculated by dividing the test taker's mental age by his or her chronological age and then multiplying this number by 100.

For example, a child with a mental age of 12 and a chronological age of 10 would have an IQ of 120 (12/10 x 100).

Children who had exceeded the average of their age group were said to have a higher "mental age" while those who performed below that average were deemed to have a lower "mental age".

1955 David Wechsler publishes the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale.

Data collection for the next version (WAIS 5) began in 2016 and is expected to end in spring 2020.

This web site is not a commercial web site and is presented for educational purposes only.




This website defines a new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."

This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation does not occur at the point of a gun.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
