Evidence that this hell is not real
More thoughts:
In this meditation, I am starting from accepting the assumptions that 1) the world, as I perceive it, is real, and - 2) there is no entity capable of employing super-natural "magic" effects that will either make me perceive it in a different way, or actually change it to make it less scientifically acceptable. I will try to show why accepting them and the media "facts" will result in having to reject them ( Reductio ad absurdum ).
xkcd had some RPF (= "Real Person Fiction", e.g: “xkcd #406: Venting” ), and my Summerschool-at-the-NSA screenplay was well-received on /r/xkcd and elsewhere. Nevertheless, later on I was told "RPF? Never do that!" on an xkcd IRC chatroom, and was promptly banned.
"People" online are afraid of critics and contrarians and yet sadistic enough to ban non-spammers.
It is not clear whether bigger muscles imply that a person is physically stronger or not.
A typical Gorilla is far stronger than even the strongest humans, while not exercising.
Christina Grimmie was reportedly killed after several years of not doing stuff her way. This is despite advocating confidence and individualism, in her works.
Despite her reported assassination, many people online and in the outside world claim they have not heard of her.
Grimmie is/was my favourite YouTuber. Cannot be a coincidence. ( Reference )
Others with bad outcomes: Summer Glau, Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG), Jennifer Aniston , John Candy , Chris Farley , Ron Lester, Jim Henson, Ayn Rand.
I am a feeble and frail man (who is otherwise of strong spirit), and who is attracted to strong girls, especially physically strong and/or muscular ones: Reference: tweet .
I "pirate" (= copy, share, and build upon) copyrighted works all over the place. I’ve been told it is bad and even "unethical" or that FOSS / open content / free music / commercial fan-fiction will "never happen".
I think that commercial fan fiction not only will be ethical, but is necessary: “The Case for commercial fan fiction”
"Science" is often a device to enforce external authority and "truisms" and "facts". Just like religions, if not worse: “Guidelines as dogma” .
People online are often getting hurt over pettier and pettier things, instead of encouraging criticism.
Someone on freenode even complained about me voicing my criticism of “Windows Update”, because it was some software developers' work.
A different chat participant noted that she had been angry at me, for having linked to several posts on Eric S. Raymond's blog, on a mailing list discussion.
I think "mass production" (more like "mass duplication") has been done using magic and Extra-terrestrial technology (called e.g “The Q Continuum” ) given large factories, farms, and trucks/etc. make everyone who work there miserable (and are often biological hazards). Moreover, they are underpaid.
It is also seems incredibly farfetched to believe that there are enough Cocoa Beans to accommodate for the world’s supply of chocolate and its by-products. ( It takes 90-to-120 cocoa beans to make a 100 gram bar of milk chocolate. )
And then there's oil, coal, natural gas, sugar, milk, wheat, rice, copper, iron, gold, silver, rare-Earth elements, corn, helium, apples, other fruit, almonds ( Reference: Green, “raw”, almonds )
⇒ The Q Continuum can duplicate or conjure energy, precious minerals, raw materials, inanimate products, foods and drinks, organisms (e.g: Life According to Valentine and Thomas Riker), or even entire galaxies.
⇒ The media keeps saying that there’ll be shortages of certain products, but they do not happen.
It is unreasonable to assume we can distribute so many food and other products across north America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, etc. using only trucks and Boeing/etc. aeroplanes. My neighbourhood ( Ramat Aviv Gimel ) only has one-and-a-half automobile roads leading into it.
There are many byproducts, bybyproducts, derivatives, mashups/mixes: chocolate, chocolate icecream, cakes, kitkats / mars / snickers, popsicles, lollies, icecream (and milk) treats, chinese/etc. food. hamburgers, etc.
They and their ingredients are moved from place to place, and there are no shortages despite the low-throughputs of the networks.
No one seems to be doing any paid physical/tangible labour, and yet there are rarely shortages.
I think there has been a conspiracy of the demons inside me to try to convince me that the world outside me was getting worse, and that I was more and more isolated, friendless and unpopular. Well, I probably cannot be fooled anymore!
There are thousands' years old hackers and below-20 ones who are huge fans of one another: "Meet Kai Blanché" .
It is possible yada` (= "to know" in Hebrew) meant "to educate / to entertain" and involves pleasure, but sometimes pain too, and was mutual, and always spawns ( possibly invisible ) baby angels. If it makes you bored or indifferent, it likely is not effective. Reference: “The case for commercial fan fiction”
I had a very short haircut for many years now and given many girls have many "bad hair days" (re “The beautiful assistant” and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N2k-gv6xNE ) think they may wish to follow suit: “Emma Watson Has New Short Bob Hair Cut In LA For Spring”. That page was published a day after I wrote “Beauty Products as the Stone Soup/Placebo Effect”
Per https://twitter.com/shlomif/status/1173621519274127361 "I love the film Labyrinth. it was so funky and nice and David Bowie was great and Jennifer Connelly was so touching and maybe could have taken the Oscar if there was no prejudice against her youth and the fact it was a fantasy/children film back then.". Jennifer Connelly likely was nominated and won (and it may not have been an age record).
⇒ Emma Watson may have won the Oscar for some of the Harry Potter films: “‘Bad’ Acting: Emma Watson”
⇒ Arnold Schwarzenegger likely won it as well: “‘Bad’ Acting for the win”
Terran science was an epistemological facade (Faster-than-light travel, duplication of galaxies, the Akashic_records are all possible). However it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because many Terran scientists and engineers and developers were highly concerned about efficiency and reliability and other kinds of quality. See e.g. the variations on the James Watt’s steam engine.
⇒ Extraterrestrial technology, although advanced (but naturally not omnipotent) was incredibly wasteful. As a result, Earth became a hub for technology - both tangible and intellectual and lately digital as well.
As a child, I wanted to be good-hearted (= noble, honest, benevolent, kind) and later on aspired to be world savior / messiah / “the greatest person in history”. I guess “nice guys finish last”.
It is not clear why we have to suffer from Consumerism of large electrical appliances (e.g: washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators) when they can be made more reliable (like those that had been in the past).
I have a very low number of Twitter followers (below 650 - https://twitter.com/shlomif ) and my reddit posts are usually not upvoted a lot ( https://www.reddit.com/user/shlomif ) . This is despite some of my older posts being a staple on Slashdot and other sites (e.g: "Mastering cat" Interview.)
People cite contemporary copyright law as a justification for censorship:
I lost contact with many online friends due to discontinues of IM services and me not receiving their email/etc replies. The devils are clouding my perception of the world using my media.
Most people I see on the streets in my neighbourhood, are clearly zombies.
Many people I try to talk to in English claim they do not know it. This is despite the fact that Ramat Aviv Gimel is an afluent area, and there are many foreign workers (filipinos, Thais, Indian, Sri-Lankan, etc.) there who do not speak Hebrew well.
On E-mail, Rick Moen told me Israelis’ knowledge of English is only exceeded by the Dutch ("Netherlands").
We went from killing women to raping them to sexual harrassment. Some say one cannot even compliment a woman for her looks.
The other day I was talking with a friend about JK Rowling as a role model and the following day she said JKR was evil since she opposed Transgender people (which I do too).
⇒ The same thing happened with Joss Whedon's alleged “sexual harassment” claims. ( also see Buffy studies for his remarkable advancement of feminism ).
People are opposed to the fact that sexual attractiveness strongly correlates with competence:
People become non-responsive on social media:
People censor me saying "I Would Not Say Such Things If I Were You" rather than "why, thank you"
There are many one song guest performances in longer live shows. E.g:
Would they travel by plane/automobile for 10 minutes?
Moreover, "Stutz" ["סטוץ"], an Israeli dating gameshow used to match teenagers from distant towns.
I adore Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG), but learned of her reddit IAmA only when it was too late.
"If you’re the smartest person in the world - you are in the wrong world."
"People" online are afraid of hearing contrasting views, yet are often cruel enough to block/ban/devoice contrarians. Encourage criticism.
A correspondent told me that "[a flat] 100% of the Aleppo Codex (the Hebrew Bible) is crap." Then I gave https://biblehub.com/parallel/1_kings/20-11.htm as a counterexample, and there was no commentary for it in a site of atheist objections.
The latest obsession of 'geeks' with Japanese culture is a mirage of the fuckers done to make me feel unpopular: https://youtube.com/watch?v=xZLwtc9x4yA ; “The Case for commercial Fan-fiction.”
Likewise with the 'Asperger syndrome': https://shlomifish.org/meta/FAQ/asperger_syndrome.xhtml ; obesity ; environmental issues ; etc.
arduino is a mirage of the devils just like Angular / react.js and bitcoin and discord.gg .
Why did Monty Python and Python-Lang cross streams only on 2021? Has @EricIdle been living under a rock?
"People" are afraid to live: told me there is risk when invoking the #MeToo tag; told me I should not approach people on the street.
Electrical / Internet / water / gas / etc. wiring, distribution, and networking is highly involved, wastes raw material such as metals, plastic.
There doesn't seem to be shortages in the supply despite the fact that only a few civilians work there.
Many classics are needlessly long and repetitive, e.g: Aleppo Codex
The canonical Tanakh (= Hebrew Bible), Plato’s Republic, Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment , Shakespeare’s Plays, etc. have likely undergone lengthening and mutation by the Orcs. However, often the originators liked the mutated versions better.
“Oh, it was definitely an instructive service. However, there was one thing which bothered both me and my late comrades: they kept lecturing to us how bad the Enemy was, and why we must fight it. I think half of our training time was wasted on such lectures. We knew the Enemy was bad, and that was the reason why we joined the Organisation in the first place!
In my opinion, it was completely unnecessary. Perhaps they thought that without those brainwashes we would have reached the conclusion that there is no rationale behind the activity against the Enemy. Most of us reached that conclusion a few months, if not less, after we joined the Organisation and we still kept fighting. So they didn’t have a reason to go to this length and just bother us.”

Microbiology is a pseudoscience - most of its processes are unexplained.
The terrestrial food supply cannot/could-not scale so well.
we cannot reasonably distribute so many food products all over USA, Europe, Asia, Israel, etc. without magic.
I have fanfics featuring Emma Watson - Emma Watson fan-fiction. She can film them, or similar fanstories and screenplays written by other writers. But she allegedly hasn't made a film in years. Moreover, despite all that, everyone are talking about her
Tiffany Alvord’s manager told me she wants to record original songs, but she hasn’t uploaded either them or covers.
Occam’s Razor tells me there’s a conspiracy— Christina Grimmie is probably alive
Someone on freenode told me my site is a "waste of space" even though:
Christina Grimmie’s song "Feelin' Good" views' count has been stuck below 4 million.
I also suspect that Christina Grimmie, many other fellow entertainers / creators, and the universal defence community cooperated reluctantly ( “OK, OK. Tell you what? I’ll play along.” ). Nevertheless, the introes and outroes of Grimmie’s videos, and also those of other artists I liked (e.g.: Tiffany Alvord ) contain many cuts, likely because they were lying to me.
During the 9th grade, I suffered from MDDs and as an undereducated teenager had natural aversion towards "philosophising". My 9th grade literature teacher told us that philosophy / philosophising was bad, and that was a symptom of "ego-centric" individuals! Moreover, previously my friend said I/we were born on the “Indian Year of the Philsopher”.
I saw badly photoshopped people on the streets while I was walking outside.
Some technologies are too complicated for a human to understand, much less to implement: e.g: C++, CSS 3.x, ghc, Common Lisp Reference.
The local synagogue and the Ramat Aviv Mall look bigger on the inside.
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson (also see my fanfics of her ) was born a day after Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG)'s 13th birthday. "Emma" means "complete" in proto-Germanic, not unlike "Shlomi" [= "shalom-ful"]. "Eymah" means 'terror' in Hebrew, while "Em" means "mother". "Sarah" means "a [female] minister" or "a ruler". "Charlotte" is cognate with both "Sarah" and "Shlomi" and also means "a ruler".
So it is likely that she was conceived as a bridge between SMG and me. [Timing]
Emma Watson’s terrestrial wikipedia page implies she is a workaholic, who still had time-to-pose for many "nudes" (despite having been a self-proclaimed "feminist"). She also did not star in a film role since 2019, despite the fact I (and others) wrote screenplays featuring her.
There are many battery-powered speedy self-moving vehicles [e.g: electrical "קורקינטים"] whereas it takes a very large terrestrial battery to have as many joules as a tablespoon of peanut butter.
"Hundreds of golden retrievers met in Scotland for 150th anniversary of breed" - no way can you fly so many (over 300) in Boeing/etc. planes, or even drive them by automobiles. Moreover, many Scotland roads have a single lane, with pass-by road-widening extensions.
I have a supposedly younger cousin called "Shlomi" despite our Jewries' unwillingness to name newborns after living relatives.
As a false prophet child, my template was relocated three times before he was 6, despite common wisdom that one should not relocate young children. This was probably due to the effect of The Muppet Show and other television series on the Terran hellholes and my parents' wishes to have more children.
My friend, Tal, who was born in 1977, was moved from Harrow, Greater London, to Israel when he was a month old.
Everyone seems to know about freenode and other IRC networks, but they are not too mainstream and popular. This is despite having many advantages.
Despite freenode allegdly being unpopular, Andrew Lee found it a good idea to capitalise on it. So the freenode / 'libera.chat' split is hard-to-believe.
discord-dot-gg is clearly so bloated, insecure, and proprietary that a hacker must be borderline-suicidal to use it.
Apple M1 is hard-to-believe:
ARM is underperformant while having low gates' count and power consumption.
yet, Apple added an x86-64 emulation, which wastes gates and power!
Boeing 747/etc. aeroplanes are so heavy that they can only fly by magic.
Same for honey bees.
At one point close to 2020, I drank so little for many days, that I should have died of water deprivation.
I survived biting an Oak acorn (as a child) despite Guns, Germs, and Steel's claim that acorns contain poison.
The third-reich nazis could not have remained motivated to kill so many people.
Likewise for the NSA, many terrorist/activist organisations, militaries, low-paying jobs.
The Gazan Hamas is at war with Israel, to free the Hamas-men imprisoned in Israel, which causes Israel to bomb the Gaza strip and kill many more people.
Pacifists may be disappointed, but after (and if) the rest-of-days, there’ll still be wars. Civilian wizards can opt-out of Earth’s warzone layer, and it's safe.
One does not need good excuses for taking parts in wars, just like one does not need them to play Chess/Checkers/Street-Fighter/etc.
Such games are often fun and educational. Love and Knowledge.
There is a high-performance chess engine, written in C under GPL/AGPL. One developer maintains an enhanced fork of it, of which he privately gives binaries, only after lengthy background checks (a grand waste of time/energy/love).
Android could not have been developed so quickly without using GNU and/or iPhone's source code.
In this hell, I have received very few PayPal/etc. donations, and few people have published critiques of my sites' pages online. This is despite many voicing them on online chats.
“People” keep reporting broken links on the webpages of my websites, while the owners of the websites to which they point are not responsive to my requests to restore them. "How the hell does one misplace an entire website?"
There are many youtube-blocks, youtube takedowns, reddit blocks, broken links in static/etc. websites, placing resources behind a login wall or a pay wall. They likely affect only me.
Paul Graham about free WWW resources:
The second big element of Web 2.0 is democracy. We now have several examples to prove that amateurs can surpass professionals, when they have the right kind of system to channel their efforts. Wikipedia may be the most famous. Experts have given Wikipedia middling reviews, but they miss the critical point: it’s good enough. And it’s free, which means people actually read it. On the web, articles you have to pay for might as well not exist. Even if you were willing to pay to read them yourself, you can’t link to them. They’re not part of the conversation.
RIAA's youtube-dl takedown request exhibited both technical and legal competency, and complete naivity about the power of git-scm, the Internet, etc.
The amount of hatred / prejudice / ad-hominemry "people" have against the techs listed on “guidelines as dogma” intro and geeks and hackers are cool.xhtml and Shlomi Fish’s FAQ are immense.
Hollywood’s mandated screenplay format - finicky and boring. Would never have been tolerated by screenwriters, who were/are geeky and hackery.
"People" with whom I chat online find poor excuses not to peruse my recommendations:
"I'm now focusing on Ancient Greek philosophy"
"There's still a lot I don't know about Ruby-on-Rails" [as if one can learn it all!]
I suspect the reason that Christina Grimmie’s introes/outroes had so many videos' interruptions is that they were lying to me: Reference: [my] Christina Grimmie fan page . Occam's Razor tells me there *is* a conspiracy.
E-mail / blogs / etc. spam should have been stopped by karma (= "what goes around, comes around"). Case for Commercial fan-fiction: all people are good
In the Russia-Ukraine war, the Russians are stupid enough to keep using tanks.
Alexandre Dumas pere had 40 affairs.
Arnold Schwarzenegger reportedly started his acting career when in his 40s. Ageism aside, the real reason was his template’s secret history as one of The Three [Head] Muppeteers.
Taylor Swift - "Red" - I match her description, and as of 2023-11-13 my sex-life has amounted to one, brief, kiss .
It is likely that the Egyptian pyramids and the Mesoamerican pyramids were constructed using magic.
The nearest sites for the rocks are 100s of kilometres away.
Many people to whom I wrote, have not replied to my messages, or requests.
This is despite Sarah Michelle Gellar’s quotation about giving back money and time
Videos are removed, blocked, or otherwise censored from my YouTube based on apparent whim. ( Reference . )
I suspect Sheldon Cooper, whose first name is cognate with mine (= “Shlomi”), was in part an exaggerated parody of me at the time. Like him, I tried to reconcile my contemporary ideology with terrestrial science and "consumerist" culture. That was evident from my contemporary writings, e.g.:
Having read Sheldon’s wikipedia page , it seems he resembles me in many ways. Seems like he was conceived as a parody of me.
Many friends and classmates shared a private name with others and a family name with others too. They were likely conceived as bridges or proxies.
It is hard-to-believe there were so many peasants in previous centuries of history, who begot so many present-day celebrities.
Often, when I wrote about an insight online, people seem to know about my previous whereabouts (even if tangential) and “stalked” me.
I have no coherent memories since before the 1st grade ("Kitah Aleph", ”כיתה אלף“) in Ramat Aviv Gimel school in Israel, when I was 6-7 years old. This is while two younger sisters had been born then, (and was told that I wanted to "return" the older one, and constantly conversed with the younger) and I was moved from Dallas, Texas to Rockville Maryland, to Ramat Aviv Gimel.
Shlomif's FAQ: “How did you learn English?”
I also seemed to possess some significant inherent knowledge of Modern Hebrew and Modern English.
I was told people forget painful experiences much more rarely than pleasant ones.
It seems farfetched to believe that psychiatric drugs will help in preventing depressions, hypo-manias, manias, etc. yet many people support the media’s position.
These drugs have to be bitter, because otherwise they won't be considered medicine, right?!
The Jennens vs. Jennens court-case supposedly took-over-a-century and wasted a lot of money. In actuality, the two sides split the money 50-50. The case began as a relic in hells of some vampires. But the participants received enough additional money to keep the show afloat. It was a parody court-case that exercised the functionality-of-the-real-legal-system.
It is probable that the courtroom action involved tangential discussion, and crossovers / mash-ups / collaborations.
the Smartphone patents’ wars are a facade for smartphone vendors pointing out flaws, features, and misfeatures in each other’s products. There is little money at stake, and no bans.
Lately, blogging and chatting online has become an obstacle race of censored resources, resources that require registration or payment, broken links, links that are deemed non-free by FLOSS zealots, etc. Paul Graham had written about that years ago:
The second big element of Web 2.0 is democracy. We now have several examples to prove that amateurs can surpass professionals, when they have the right kind of system to channel their efforts. Wikipedia may be the most famous. Experts have given Wikipedia middling reviews, but they miss the critical point: it’s good enough. And it’s free, which means people actually read it.

Why are there so many copyright takedown requests? As far as the copyright holders or the lawyers acting on their behalf are concerned, they are a waste of time, love, and often — money.
Seems like I am not the only man who, as a general rule, dislike seeing women naked, and rather see them in bikini/lingerie (“scantily-clad”) “women look way better in a bikini/lingerie than completely naked. : r/unpopularopinion” . However, one allegedly needs to be naked to "4th-base" (or is it "home-run"). Moreover, people pee from penises and vaginas!
In this IRC convo someone keep protesting the fact that Firefox, is in some aspects, superior to Opera because it is open-source, changing his arguments and evading mine.
( Possibly-related: “No true Scotsman”. )
Cimorelli were a music band of 6 sisters (who also have 5 brothers) in a Catholic family. ( Reference: "make your own kind of music" ). They were signed artists ( “VEVO” ) for several years, which I doubt would have been politically-correct enough in the context of this non-real-hell.
( Outside this hell, I believe that Earth is not over-populated, nor are there global warming and other environmental problems. )
I find it strange that Tobacco smoking is allegedly so prevalent among youth. Many smokers are intelligent and noble enough to have known better.
“Auld Lang Syne Bagpipes - The Snake Charmer - YouTube” the setting for this video looks extremely-close-to-fully-identical to the field north of my neighbourhood. However: The Snake Charmer is a musician from India, and the video features running boys in traditionally-Indian-outfits. Moreover, to the extent-of-my-minds-hell-education, that field is not a very big tourist attraction.
Iran has been working on an atomic bomb for over 30 years whereas it took the Manhattan Project fewer than 5 years, and a study was published on how to construct a nuclear bomb only with home-equipment, except for Uranium ores.
Moreover, Iran let Stuxnet happen.
Microsoft Windows is plagued by such major problems as Windows Update being slow and unusable, and proliferation of malware and harmful anti-malware (e.g anti-viruses). Nevertheless, GNU/Linux and FreeBSD allegdly have little traction on the desktop, despite being cheaper, faster, less buggy, more secure, more free/open, less bloated, etc.
Refer to the post “Linux for One’s Mother” for why they didn't have major usability problems (and likely do not now). There is also The “Broken Window” fallacy.
From my experience, when a hacker is being imprisoned (in a psychiatric ward/etc.), like I did, they play “The Fox in the Chicken Coop”, engage the staff and coprisoners in amateur philosophy, and end up getting out after some months, while the prison becomes a nut-house. Yet, there are hell-media reports of people being imprisoned for years and decades.
My father’s father, Aharon Fish, told me he had been imprisoned in Arkhangelsk, Russia when he started his plight from the German Nazi military, as it supposedly invaded Poland including his birthplace, Warsaw around 1939.
The word is "slavery". How do you get many men/women working for free? You need paid supervisors, but then the supervisors are unhappy. Other people and I quit high-paying jobs for various reasons. Moreover, a hacker (who has soul+mind) exhibits the fox-in-the-chickens-coop effect.
I suspect Alexandre Dumas pere’s father’s mother was not actually a slave or thought of herself as one. It was just a facade for my hell's unified / absolute (and not real) history.
I recall that when I was in the 7th grade (when I was 12y.o / 13y.o ), a distant female relative from the USA came-to-my neighbourhood and the local Scouts allowed her to use a device to pull me to air. I think it was Sarah Michelle Gellar, and I didn't imagine it, and it was intended for passing the master-terran-terminator status to me.
The terrestrial Free Software Foundation is stupid enough to keep its software packages GPL/LGPL/AGPL , and even apple.com cannot pay enough to relicense them. Moreover, its websites beg visitors to register as FSF members.
mold-linker (for example) was relicensed from AGPLv3 to MITL.
In the real world, the FSF is well-financed, and receives/gives enough money to not care for hunting GPL violators. Most downstream users of GNU/etc. software are clueful / open enough to submit their enhancements upstream. ( References: “Openness, Freedom, Sharing, “Stealing”, Remixing” )
People are bogged down with so many redtape, time-consuming activities (laundry/dish-washing/cleaning/child-rearing/government-bureaucracy/etc.) that hardly anyone should have gotten anything done.
On Freenode, vendu, who lives in a small town in Finland, noted that the local policeman accepted him being a Marijuana user, as long as he won't push it to underage children or teenagers. Sometime later, a different freenode user tried pushing them to an underage boy.
I've been suffering from fingers/hands/legs stiffness (possibly caused by my cursed hell, or by treating the psychiatric drugs as more than placebos). Moreover, it comes and goes based on an apparent whim of the gamemasters/players. I've been diagnosed with "Parkinsonism", as if that is a real thing.
My online chat/E-mail/etc. buddies often pointed to a significant number of people who hate me, and refuse to interact with me. This is despite the fact that I didn't deliberately lie, the forums appear to be small, and people should know well enough to Encourage critics and become offended ( “Keep your friends close and enemies closer” / etc.).
Someone on IRC told me I should not phrase sentences in the negative. E.g.: “2.1 times 2.1 is not 4.1”. This is a very stupid superstition.
A fellow Israeli FOSS enthusiast published an essay where he claimed that while there are hundreds-of-thousands (“100,000”s) of vendors of proprietary software on Earth, there are “only 3 or 4 profitable ones”. In a drupal/post-nuke comment, a responder listed 10 well-known and profitable vendors of proprietary software. While being a proprietary software vendor, does not guarantee profitability, I suspect there are at least 1,000 profitable ones. ( This is while I try to avoid depending on non-open-source software, and I also originated many FOSS projects or contributed to ones that others have originated. )
Anyway, when I confronted him about that (in the "real", physical, world; eye to eye), he said that Economists agreed with his original assertion.
In this IRC chat "Felishia" was smart enough to find her way to freenode, but stupid enough not to know that commas (“,”) are used for separating thousands in English (and Hebrew) while full stops / dots (“.”) are used for decimal/fractional parts.
She also told me I should not be a "grammar nazi" because I'm Jewish (and because fellow Jews were allegdly killed by the Third Reich nazis). That's a stupid Equivocation if I ever saw one.
Foods of the same type, e.g: hamburgers from restaurants in Gush Dan, taste much the same eventually, despite supposedly being made by different cooks, from different source animals and plants, made on the spot, even at different restaurants chains.
The Hebrew texts of Oded C.'s stories' incorporated grammar/syntax errors when I reread them, that I should have noticed when I originally read them a few years back.
The implementations of the Raku programming language were/are unreasonably slow.
Most major cities in the USA have slums full of Black Americans: NYC, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, even San-Francisco ("a very geeky town") and Washington D.C. whose USA Admin centre is clean and beautiful, and full of white/Oriental tourists, and Caucasian police officers riding brown horses.
Why? The newer parts (often formerly hell-holes) benefitted from close/enthusiastic Negro labour which had been there previously. Moreover, the slums were in worse condition before the white settlers came than they are now.
A similar thing happened with Jerusalem in Israel/Palestine. When Sulliman the Magnificent rebuilt the old city, it was a marvel of beauty. But by the 1800s, even many Judeans established Mea Shearim and other neighbourds.
The British mandate, and the Jordanian and Israeli admin ( Teddy Kollek / etc. ) made the situation better, by a lot of volunteer labour.
“Monty Python's Life of Brian - What Have The Romans ever done for us?”
I've been thinking of Christina Grimmie. Ellen DeGeneres said she was the youtube unsigned artist with the most total views, 200 million ( Reference, Reference No. 2 ) and yet Grimmie later went through the ordeal with being a contestant on The Voice ( Reference ).
In a video on Grimmie’s channel, her father notes that she received many legitimate/nonspam emails to her personal email inbox in succession, and they were legitimate emails from her fans.
I recall reading a youtube comment from a school boy who noted that he had mentioned Christina Grimmie to his friend, and a few weeks later, the whole school was talking about her.
Starting from around 2012, there were some “viral” videos: Gangnam Style, Harlem Shake
“Fish” is reportedly a fairly common last name in England and among Americans of English descent. In Israel, it is rare, but associated with Jews of Polish descent. When I studied in the Technion, there were three "Fish"-es studying there: I, my sister, and Marina Fish, who was non-coincidentally my next door neighbour, and also studied Electrical Engineering.
The following entities are too obscure or too antagonised than they should be:
People online expect me to stop being attracted to women who are lesbian / in a relationship / etc. as if repressing these emotions will be fruitful or healthy.
Many times, I received criticism of my posts in private or semi-private, and after I replied with a rebuttal or a request for clarification, I didn’t receive a reply.
Speaking of critics, I would love to receive more public criticisms of my works, but Google search and duckduckgo searches do not display many.
Anime fans often would rather watch bad Anime than quality English-speaking films or clips.
People online keep accusing celebrities of being stupid, selfish, and overrated just because they are famous.
“Kim Kardashian is the worst human in history”
Why should our universe be the only "real world"? If we imagine universes like the American Sesame Street, Dragon Lance, the Forgotten Realms, the Hebrew Bible's, La Linea, My Little Pony, Star Trek, Star Wars, and the Monkey Islands, — why cannot they imagine ours? ( Reference )
Moreover, if this is the only real world, then it is a pathetic one indeed.
The people I refer to these issues online could not until now give sufficient rationalisations or explanations to refute any substantial number of these "What-The-Fucks?". Quoting Amos, I can accept 3, but I have many more.
Obstacles and Delays:
Pro/anti-Israel; Pro/anti-"Zionism" - “Define Zionism” / “Are you a Zionist?”
"Israel is a Nazi Country"
"Zionism = Racism"
"Tel Aviv is a rock in the desert"
Licence Proliferation and incompatiblity: “FOSS Licences Wars“ ; “Which open source licence should I use?” .
"your writings are 'too smart'"
I recall seeing a videoclip that advocated trying to "Act naturally". However, often hacky acting is preferable.
"XHTML is deprecated"
"People are stupid"
"No self-promotion" - treated as a moral absolute
Hollywood’s mandated screenplay format - finicky and boring.
"Geeks are shy and anti-social"
Back when I was in the 9th grade, when I had a series of clinical depressions (MDDs) a friend told me I was born in the Indian "year of the Philosopher", which given I was under-educated made me feel bad. Later he told me "My philosophy is [x]" (for "my look-on-life").
Moreover, the 9th grade literature teacher said Philosophy is bad (she must have studied Philosophy for her B.A.). And that it is a symptom of "self-centred people".
My parents also said philosophising was bad and that I shouldn't have it, when I shared my thoughts with them.
Accused of being "self-centred"
Accused of being "passive-aggressive". This is while no one was able to provide a suitable description / definition of what "passive-aggressive" means that can be applied to me.
This included several online acquaintances and my psychotherapist who has a Ph.D in clinical psychology.
Accused of being an asperger
Accused of being Bipolar, including any and all of Bipolar II, Schizoaffective disorder, and Schizophrenia.
Accused of being a "spammer" ( reference #1 ; reference #2 )
Accused of "trolling" when I was being frank.
Accused of being narcissistic.
Accused of applying the words “hacker”, “hack”, “hacking” to describe enthusiasts who are not computer intruders, or software developers: “Are you a hacker?” ; “‘hackers’ vs. ‘fuckers’”.
When I noted on IRC that I think the best diet may vary from person to person, based on their genetics, physiology, etc. someone said "it's always the same ATP [Adenosine triphosphate] processing". That does not explain how different people have variable Food allergies.
“The Lost Souls of Freenode” - ridiculus constraints for help-requests.
Whatever generalisation I make, there will be someone on IRC/facebook-chat who will claim an exception.
Nevertheless, there are often people who do agree with me.
I Give up on this hell
Regarding the current bombing of Israel (by Gaza and Lebanon), no missile hit my building yet, and I sleep through the alarms. I doubt the war is real as far as I'm concerned (References: “The Programmer and the Genie” ; Tweet about the mideast warzone layer)
Moreover, I am not “off my medications”. I am taking all the pills that my “father” gives me. However, I think of them as effect-less placeboes.
Also note that I am not 100% certain that I am right. This is given my observation that people who are sure of themselves are often wrong.
They say I am escaping from the harsh, demanding, real-world to a fantastical paradise instead of coping. I've been a fan and advocate of self-sustaining and coping for many years: “the gods help them that help themselves”, “reality to be commanded must be obeyed”, and all that jazz. (See the link for more.)
However, despite trying to be benevolent, diligent, kind, generous, honest, sincere, rational, forgiving and non-vindictive, believing people can change and grow, open-minded, etc. , I was met with lack of responses to my posts and with violent antagonism (bans, filterings, devoices, downvotes).
There were also reported perishing of many people, whom I liked and admired: Christina Grimmie, Jim Henson, Avicii, John Lennon, Carrie Fisher, John Candy, Ron Lester, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston.
I am also unable to overcome the deceiving communication mediums (= "in-betweens") in this hell:
Downvotes / dislikes / non-responses.
reddit removals
youtube censorship ( Reference ).
email being unreliable
discord-dot-gg obviously being insecure, bloated, proprietary, and unreliable
A hacker must be borderline-suicidal to use discord-dot-gg.
IRC networks are seemingly unpopular. ( References: Do people still use IRC? )
Despite that, the freenode/libera.chat schism happened.
WordPress-based blogs eat readers’ comments. ( References: Shlomi Fish’s “WordPress” Wiki page )
Non-voluntary Spam is rampant, despite being very bad karma for the spammers. ( References: Karma on the Wikipedia)
"People" accuse me of “spamming”, when I send very few copies, and of "trolling" when I'm frank.
Slashdot keeps my posts in moderation queue for months.
Furthermore, I supposedly cannot fight "death" which is the alleged perishments (of me and other noble humans) and losing a game - any game - in the terminology of TheCodex™.
“People” tell me to try harder. But I tried very hard, and, based on my analysis, both Christina Grimmie and I are household names outside my hell (and naturally - rich). I think the non-hell domain of true prophets is called the Selinaverse or the Shlomiverse. My strategy now is to try and be as physically healthy as possible in this hell (where the gamemasters know my history/etc.) while intellectually trying to transition to the non-hell Shlomiverse. I also have no plans of actively commiting physical suicide. I suspect causing my mind, soul, or their union to perish, will be a violation of the multiverse’s ethos.
Moreover, I'll try to stay on the safe side of the terresterial law:.
Return home, and not venture far away from it
Do not try to "steal", vandalise property, or physically hurt others.
Eat, drink, sleep, and rest, well.
Do physical exercise.
Do not approach strangers in the physical "world".
I can still do philosophy/comedy on Internet forums and sub-forums (Freenode/libera/etc.), where there is usually less risk for potential damage. (References: Encourage critics and become offended)
Write/"blog" mainly on my home-domain ( *.shlomifish.org ).
My "parents" become berserk when I am annoyed by they patronising me, or that I get startled, or I try to request explanation for a magic-requiring phenomenon. As a result, I will try to be as non-provocative as possible.
If God thinks I am a malevolent hacker (= a Fantastechan character who is given a soul and mind) and the multiverse will be better without me, and the allegedly-murdered hackers will be alive and happy, then my soul can be perished. Just note that I consistently tried to be noble and perform the most benevolent and beneficial action and be honest.
The hell people also keep using an appeal to “science” or “common sense” or “rationality”. As appealing as it is, it does not explain most of the 10s of “what-the-hell?”s I listed here. Common sense and intuition can be misleading. For example, when a planar body is heated, its holes expand outwards, rather than shrink inward. When my class asked my Physics teacher why, he said “Because that’s the way it is”. Moreover, in Newtonian mechanics, a body in equilibrium maintains its velocity, rathar than remains in the same place.
Claiming that my hell "world" is real, does not explain all the phenomena, and so fails Occam's Razor. Moreover, given I accept that there probably is a conspiracy and that I am being deceived by an evil demon, I can dismiss the appeal to "rationality" as another of his deceptions. It seems reasonable on the surface, but is logically unsound.
[Timing] There may have been hopes to get SMG to terminate me before me hitting puberty on 5 May 1990 [= my 13th birthday].
