Neo

The team cleaning trainer is Neo, from the movie the Matrix.

He doesn’t know where he is, how he got there, or what he is supposed to do, but everyone keeps telling him that he is going to be awesome.

This is the story of my life. At least, it was. Life has become quite blessed and meaningful since I started attending Open Door Baptist Church. It was October 2015 if I remember right. I heard Mary the Piano player sing beautifully then Pastor Don tore into a hell fire and damnation sermon. I walked out of there that day knowing for sure what I needed to do. This made everything fall into place and I finally got my priorities straight.

The Election is Over

It’s finally over. Now the world is coming to grips with the fact that Donald Trump is going to actually do all the things he told us repeatedly that he was going to do.

That’s why we elected him folks.

Yet I happened upon a picture that I saved to my phone during the campaign and it perfectly symbolizes what happened. I feel like sharing.

Carlton Feathers

Passing maniac. Occasionally crops us as a minor distraction in the lives of women who ought to know better. Pathologically single.

Carlton is a genius, but that’s really not any excuse for why he’s such a social clunk. Genius is a lot of things but it should never be used as a reason for people to be aloof and inconsiderate of others. Carlton didn’t get the message apparently. He’s a whiny baby that can’t get anyone to listen to him so he turns all the angst into passion for his work of building computers.

Something else about genius that can be a problem is that the victims of it think that what they do is no big deal. I mean, really, why hasn’t everybody invented a computer operating system that runs on human blood and has the unexpected consequence that the computers now have souls? This delightful aspect of the disconnect between genius types and reality is part of a syndrome that is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect. Carlton has it big time. The reason that I know about Dunning-Kruger is that I frequently am accused of having a bad case of it as a result of my activity on Twitter promoting Matty’s Paradigm as an alternative to the dominant paradigm of modern science. So much so, in fact, that Dunning and Kruger are now characters in Biblio’s Blood.

The name Carlton Feathers comes from a pub in my hometown that I occasionally frequented. The Carlton Plume of Feathers it was called. It just happened to be on the very street in Minehead, England where the legendary Science Fiction author Arthur C. Clarke was born. It’s not there any more. For me its removal perfectly blends the worlds of Arthur C. Clarke and Douglas Adams. Arthur C. Clarke wrote a novel called “Childhood’s End.” The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy begins with bulldozers demolishing Arthur Dent’s house. The confluence of these worlds is described in my post “The Bulldozer at Childhood’s End.” Carlton Feathers is a bit Arthur Dentish in the sense that he isn’t ever quite at ease with himself or properly prepared to meet reality.

The Carlton Plume of Feathers

I think Wil Wheaton would be the perfect Carlton Feathers. In contemplating the potential for frustrated romantic overtones in the Carlton Feathers/Rachel Robbins relationship I see them as a couple with absolutely zero natural chemistry. Negative chemistry if that’s possible. They are thrown together through circumstances and mutual need and it, well, let’s not give away any spoilers… Anyway, a combination of Wil Wheaton and Ronda Rousey should be able to achieve the zero chemistry dynamic in a very entertaining way.

But then there’s also Ben Wishaw if this was ever made in an English version. This would be very interesting if paired up with the English actress Kate Marie Davies.

Ben Wishaw as Carlton Feathers?

Galileo & The Mind Pirates

I don’t know about you but I’m really having fun.

I mean, destroying the dominant paradigm of modern science is serious business, but I’m really having a blast. It’s not hard for me to be merrily entertained as I work on presenting these ideas across different social media platforms. One driving force is to explain Biblical exposition, another is the rebuttal of the conventional wisdom but a third is the creation of art. I found my self contemplating the direction that the collective will of society has gone and how its direction has been profoundly influenced by certain key players. I’m thinking primarily of Kepler, Galileo, Newton & Einstein.

So then I got the idea that this little quartet was a band like the Beatles going on tour and leading the whole world astray. It’s like a dystopian future where everyone has been trained to think that hell isn’t real.

Except that it isn’t a dystopian future, it’s right now.

Our minds have been captured and held hostage by the Dominant Paradigm of Modern Science, aided by their armies of henchmen, the Peer Review.

We destroyed it, by the way, the dominant paradigm. It’s dead.

Sadly most people will continue to believe it because they are too afraid to confront the reality of life: hell is real and Jesus Christ is the only way to escape.

Anyway I was thinking of calling the piece, Galileo and the Mind Pirates.

I keep myself very entertained…

The Hebrew for Gravity

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

(2 Corinthians 2:10) KJV

If you know anything about Matty’s Paradigm you should know that we break from every flavor of mainstream Creationism that ever existed by proposing that life began in zero-G and that gravity was created on the second day of creation.

Your Paradigm is Dead. Now What?

And the Lord said:
“Because this people draw near with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,
therefore, behold, I will again
do wonderful things with this people,
with wonder upon wonder;
and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.”

(Isaiah 29:13-14) ESV

The popular science paradigm (SciPop) is dead. You can argue and fuss all you like but it’s too late. We’ve shown you that the theoretical construct upon which SciPop rests is constructed with faith.
