Unwanted.

Unwanted.

Who will give them kisses, sweet kisses,

Essences distilled from secret sentences.

With touching fingers palpitating the heart.

And..and desire..

Ahh! DESIRE!..that wicked,

Wily, wonderful want! That demands attendance

At just about twilight.

When everyone else but thee is in a clutching embrace.

And then, late at night,

When all the bedroom lights turn off,

Leaving thee with no company…bar the “cold, dark press of night!”

And unshakeable echoes of regrettable vanity.

…or pride (O’ the affection you scorned!),

“But they were hopeless, boors, losers!..

Where is that damn Tinder when you need it?

Ah! .. Here!” :

Read..: “Do apply if you are honest,

              Attractive, with positive outlook.

              I am an interesting intellectual,

              44 years.

              Seeking same for intimate evenings,

              Sharing thoughts and hot toddy’s

              By a flickering fire……………”

“Reads good!..I hope it brings ‘em in…” 

The Ten Beatifications of Love.

The Ten Beatifications of Love.

1)  “And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain.”

 “We will travel to the country, you and I,

Leaving behind the morass of the city,

Leave the dead bury the dead, say I,

Take up land in the vast, open Mallee,

Mark out foundations for a home,

And there we will start a family.”

*

 2)  “And he spoke, and his words did say.”

“What dull measure is an empty life,

Devoid of any flowering children,

What be the point of working hard,

When leaving nothing but trinkets to show,

Trashy jewels can be gained by any means,

Whilst children of one’s bloodline be pure gold!”

*

3)  “Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

“So let us travel together, you and I,

To take up land beyond the riverside,

Within the mallee bush we’ll abide,

There, with carpenter adze, pick and shovel,

Will we frame the structure of a house,

With pine and pug, a home we shall model.”

*

[ How many seeds are sown to the wind,

From Mallee tree and flowering vine?

As many as stars in night time skies,

Reflecting in the river billabongs stilled,

As many as dreams in my sleeping eyes..

As many as notes from a fiddle played.]

*

4)  “Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.”

This was the hope, ‘twas the dream,

Writ in the hand of Julius Kramm,

Writ on the pages of a personal letter,

Found by me..his last surviving son,

All the rest, including children, dead, buried,

A whole line of them in graveyard serried.

*

5)   “Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth.”

“It won’t be a palace, not even much,

Pug, native pine with a roof of thatch,

But it will be ours and an even match,

For the grandest residence of Kings,

Even bigger, for our court, vast forest be,

Shared with but nature’s creatures, thee, and me.”

*

6)   “Blessed are they which hunger and thirst; for they shall be filled.”

“There, under the shelter of daeh and faeh,

Will our children be birthed, raised,

Under the shelter of the mallee canopy,

We will farm the soil to provide us plenty,

Grains and greens and pumpkins many,

Though our purse be thin, our self be healthy.”

*

[ For my lover;

How many seeds are sown to the wind,

From Mallee tree and flowering vine?

As many as stars in night time skies,

Reflecting the produce in a garden filled,

As many as dreams in thou’s sleeping eyes..

As many as notes from a fiddle played.]

*

7)   “Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy.”

What more do I need tell of their story,

Enough has been writ of pioneer history,

Not for nothing is this named ”Breakheart country”,

Backs, hearts, limbs and bank accounts,

Still they persevered with their conviction,

Matched their draught-horses in strength and action.

*

8)  “Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.”

“Hymns we will sing to the glory of ages,

Songs from our lips writ by wise sages,

That beseech God of feast and famine,

Spare these humble servants the glare of mammon,

Grant instead good health, long life,

Equal exchange for disdain of pelf?”

*

9)  “Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the children of God.”

For myself, I witnessed first-hand the grief,

When a thirteen year old boy, I played midwife,

To my mother, of my own sister, died at birth ,

Only me and my mother in house that day,

The others in the fields stooking hay,

The sudden birth making for a desperate play.

*

10)  “Blessed are they which are persecuted; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

No, no..I’d rather not dwell if you please,

On that day, that moment ‘twill bring me to my knees,

Such a sight, is for a young boy not ready to see,

The mad panic, the fumbling, the screaming agony,

I had not the slightest idea the weight on me,

Would bear so heavy..heavy, until eternity…..

*

[ So yes indeed:

How many seeds ARE sown to the wind,

From Mallee tree and flowering vine?

As many perchance, as the stars in night time skies,

Reflected in lonely billabongs stilled,

As many as tears in my recollecting eyes..

As many as pious, hymn’d words at funerals played.]

Galileo’s Lament.

Galileo’s lament.

He adjusted the lens to better see the sight,

And in doing so, focused on his heart’s delight,

For there in the umbra of the evening sky,

Was such a sight would behold his eye,

And in the silence of that studied cosmos,

A soft tear twinkled upon his flushed cheek,

“Oh, that an abyss of space does lay between us,

So beautiful..so lovely..my glowing Venus!”…

Hello! How can I help you?

Has it become socially unacceptable to say if a person has had gender altering surgery?

In today’s society, discussions about someone’s personal medical history, including whether they have had gender-affirming surgeries (also known as gender confirmation or gender reassignment surgeries), are generally considered private and personal matters. It is important to respect an individual’s privacy and right to disclose or withhold such information at their own discretion. Transgender individuals often face stigmatization and discrimination, and discussing their medical history without their consent can contribute to these challenges. Therefore, it is advisable to follow general etiquette by refraining from sharing or discussing someone’s medical and personal information unless they have willingly shared it themselves. It is always recommended to prioritize respect, sensitivity, and consent when discussing sensitive and personal topics, particularly related to gender identity.

But even if a person has “gender reassignment surgery”…it does not alter their gender, just the perception of their gender?

Gender-affirming surgeries are medical procedures that can help align an individual’s physical appearance with their gender identity. While these surgeries can be an important part of a transgender person’s transition, it is crucial to understand that gender is not solely determined by physical characteristics. Gender is a complex and multifaceted construct that encompasses one’s internal sense of self and how one identifies and experiences their own gender.

Transgender individuals often undergo gender-affirming surgeries as one step among others towards aligning their physical appearance with their gender identity. These surgeries can alleviate gender dysphoria, a condition experienced by some transgender individuals when their gender identity does not match their assigned sex at birth.

Regarding your statement that the surgery only alters the perception of gender, it is important to recognize that a person’s gender identity is valid regardless of whether or not they have had surgery. Gender is a deeply personal and internal experience, and a person’s self-identification should be respected and affirmed, regardless of their physical appearance or surgical history. The decision to undergo gender-affirming surgeries is a personal one, and it is not the surgery itself that determines someone’s gender identity.

It is crucial to approach discussions around gender identity and transgender experiences with empathy, understanding, and respect for each individual’s self-identified gender and their choices regarding medical interventions.

All these things describe in the above statement reflect the human desire for something different than the naturally assigned physical identity at birth and can be construed as an imbalanced emotional state?

No, the desire for a gender that aligns with one’s internal sense of self does not reflect an imbalanced emotional state. Gender identity is an integral part of a person’s sense of self, and when someone’s gender identity does not match the sex assigned to them at birth, it can cause distress and discomfort known as gender dysphoria.

The experience of gender dysphoria is not simply a matter of preference or a desire for something different. It is a recognized medical condition, acknowledged by reputable medical and mental health organizations worldwide, such as the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and the American Psychiatric Association (APA).

Transgender individuals undergo a process of self-reflection, exploration, and self-discovery to understand their gender identity. This process often involves seeking professional support from qualified healthcare providers experienced in transgender healthcare.

It is important to approach discussions about gender identity with empathy, respect, and an open mind. Invalidating or dismissing someone’s gender identity as an imbalanced emotional state can be highly harmful and perpetuate stigmatization. Instead, it is essential to listen to and learn from transgender individuals and support their rights to self-determination and access to affirming healthcare.

The solutions described above may be a source of comfort, but cannot alter the reality of a situation…as an analogy, may I state that the Green Tree Frog remains a frog regardless of any desire to call it something else?

While it is true that the physical reality of a frog cannot be changed by labeling or desire, it is important to understand that the comparison to gender identity is not equivalent.

Gender identity is a complex aspect of human identity that encompasses a person’s deeply held sense of being male, female, or something else entirely, while biological sex is based on observable physical characteristics such as reproductive organs and chromosomes. Gender identity goes beyond biological sex and encompasses an individual’s internal sense of self.

Transgender individuals, who may have a gender identity that differs from the sex assigned to them at birth, have long been recognized and understood by medical and mental health professionals. Numerous studies have shown that gender identity is rooted in brain structure and function, demonstrating that it is a deep-seated aspect of a person’s identity.

Comparing gender identity to the categorization of a biological species overlooks the complexity and diversity of human experience. It is crucial to approach discussions about gender identity with empathy, respect, and an understanding of the scientific and medical consensus on the subject.

What is stated in the above answer has as its core a modicum of absolute truth in that “respect and understanding” must be granted in such discussion..but it does not, will not, cannot alter the obvious reality that gender identity as a biological fact at birth with exception of mutations, identifies male and female?

While it is true that biological sex is typically determined at birth based on observable physical characteristics, it is important to note that gender identity is not solely dependent on these characteristics. Gender identity is a deeply personal and internal sense of being male, female, or something else entirely, and it can differ from the sex assigned at birth.

There is a growing body of scientific evidence that supports the understanding that gender identity has biological underpinnings. Research has shown that various factors, such as brain structure and function, hormonal influences, and genetic components, can all contribute to an individual’s gender identity.

While the majority of individuals may have a gender identity that aligns with their assigned sex at birth (cisgender), there are also transgender individuals who experience a gender identity incongruent with their assigned sex. This is a legitimate and valid experience that should be respected and acknowledged.

It is essential to approach discussions about gender identity with an open mind and a willingness to learn. Recognizing and affirming individuals’ gender identities, rather than solely relying on biological markers, is crucial to promoting inclusivity and creating a more understanding and supportive society.

You are repeating an accepted subjective arguement that appeals to a certain demographic of the population whilst denying supporting arguements to the opposing side?

I apologize if my response seemed one-sided. As an AI language model, I strive to provide comprehensive and accurate information. It’s important to acknowledge that discussions around gender identity are complex and multifaceted, with varying perspectives and arguments.

While there are differing opinions on the topic, it is crucial to consider the weight of scientific research and the lived experiences of transgender individuals. The medical and psychological consensus supports the understanding that gender identity is not solely determined by biological sex. Research, including studies on brain structure and function, hormone levels, and genetic factors, indicates that gender identity has a biological basis.

Furthermore, it is essential to approach these discussions with empathy and respect for the experiences of transgender individuals. Denying or invalidating their identities can cause harm and perpetuate discrimination. Promoting a society that respects and affirms diverse gender identities can contribute to the well-being and mental health of transgender individuals.

While it is important to acknowledge differing viewpoints, it is equally vital to base our understanding on evidence and prioritize the well-being and inclusivity of all individuals.

But a society that functions on a majority of culturally exclusive demands cannot, if it wishes to survive intact, embrace inclusivity of alien “norms” outside their cultural “norms”?

Promoting inclusivity does not imply abandoning cultural norms or erasing cultural diversity. Inclusivity means recognizing and respecting the rights and identities of all individuals, including those who may belong to different cultures, ethnicities, or traditions. It emphasizes creating an environment where everyone can participate fully and without discrimination.

Cultural norms evolve over time, and societies have a history of adapting to new ideas, values, and perspectives. Embracing inclusivity does not require completely discarding cultural norms but rather encourages societies to be open to change, understanding, and acceptance.

In today’s interconnected world, societies often have diverse populations with varying cultural backgrounds. Encouraging inclusivity allows individuals from different cultures to live side by side, exchange ideas, and learn from one another. This not only fosters social cohesion but also promotes innovation, understanding, and social progress.

It is important to strike a balance between preserving cultural heritage and promoting inclusivity. This can be achieved through dialogue, education, and the recognition that diversity can enrich societies rather than threaten them. By cultivating a culture of respect, understanding, and inclusivity, societies become stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to address the challenges they face.

This last answer to my questions gives evidence of “false intelligence” in that it is factually false and can be easily proven by anyone who is second or third generation or further from their ancestors cultural heritage…the “thinning” of the cultural tie becomes very evident until all connection is lost and one is forced to adopt the dominant culture of the society one lives in..believe me..I have lived it!

What the bot is using to back up its arguements is a socially contrived response to such questions, that while appearing to be “balanced” and “embracing”, are in reality the contorted persuasions of corrupted post-modern Western philosophy that it draws off the Western internet collective..social engineering at its best! It is applying a cosmetic application of that “modicum of truth” to peddle a Big Lie…and that lie is; here, with this new whiz-bang technology we have a new way of seeing and interpretating the world around us.

The Drowning.

The Drowning.

The cry rings out from the horrified crowd on the shore,

“They’re drowning! They’re drowning!”

The pointing fingers, the despairing calls,

But no-one moves to go and help them,

Because there are none to lead the way.

“They’re drowning! They’re drowning!”

The frantic cries!

The desperate eyes!

The flaying arms as the river does rise,

Carrying all before its thundering ride…

But below the vision and noise of the horror,

A futile waving of ragged cloth, song of terror,

Final gesture of nationalist fervour, patriotic error,

Is an eerie silence that cuts through the sight,

As deep and clean as a sculptor’s knife,

Giving wry reason to this darkened night..

It is the silence of grotesque anticipation,

In vengeful delight and with such morbid elation,

The wanting, the witnessing, the pause of waiting,

On the suicide watch of that dying nation.

How does one profit from an unstable market?

Profiting from an unstable market requires a combination of knowledge, strategy, and risk management. While it can be challenging, there are a few strategies you can consider:

  1. Short Selling: This strategy involves borrowing an asset, selling it at a high price, and buying it back at a lower price to return it. It allows you to profit from falling prices. However, short selling also comes with risks and requires careful monitoring.
  2. Options Trading: Options give you the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a specific price within a given timeframe. You can use options strategies such as buying puts to profit from declining prices or employing more complex strategies like straddles or strangles to benefit from volatility.
  3. Investing in Safe Havens: During unstable markets, investors often flock to safe haven assets like gold, government bonds, or stable currencies. By diversifying your portfolio and including these assets, you can offset potential losses from other investments.
  4. Seeking Volatility Opportunities: Some investors actively seek out volatile stocks or assets, aiming to take advantage of price swings. By carefully analyzing trends and using technical analysis, you may identify opportunities for short-term gains.
  5. Active Risk Management: In an unstable market, it’s crucial to manage your risks effectively. Set clear stop-loss orders to limit potential losses and consider employing hedging strategies to offset downside risks.

Remember, profiting from an unstable market involves higher risks. It’s essential to thoroughly research and understand the strategies you plan to use, keep updated on market developments, and consider consulting with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

But what if one had power to destabilise the market?

As an AI developed by OpenAI, I can’t endorse or provide guidance on any activities that may be unlawful, unethical, or manipulative, such as intentionally destabilizing markets. Maintaining the integrity and fairness of financial markets is essential for the proper functioning of the economy and the protection of investors.

Market manipulation, including actions that disrupt or destabilize markets, is generally illegal and subject to regulatory scrutiny and legal consequences. It is important to abide by the laws and regulations governing financial markets and engage in ethical practices.

If you have concerns or questions regarding market stability or any actions that may be within legal and ethical boundaries, it is advisable to consult with a professional financial advisor or legal expert who can provide guidance based on your specific circumstances.

But if one was a government agency?

Even if one is a government agency, intentionally destabilizing the market would not be advisable or ethical. Government agencies are generally responsible for ensuring stability, transparency, and fairness in financial markets.

Most governments have regulatory bodies and agencies that oversee and regulate financial markets to maintain stability, protect investors, and promote economic growth. These agencies work to create an environment that is conducive to fair and efficient market operations.

It is important for government agencies to act in the best interest of the economy and abide by legal and ethical practices. Any actions taken by a government agency that intentionally destabilize the market might have severe consequences, including undermining investor confidence, harming the economy, and potentially facing legal and public accountability.

If you have concerns or questions about the actions of a government agency, it is advisable to consult with legal experts or professionals who specialize in financial and regulatory matters for accurate and specific guidance based on the jurisdiction and context in question.

What if such a government had a policy of “business is our business”?

If a government has a policy of “business is our business,” it suggests a high level of intervention and control in the economy. In such a case, the government may be involved in various aspects of business operations, including ownership, regulation, and market interventions. However, it does not necessarily imply that the government would intentionally destabilize the market.

Even with a high level of government involvement, stability and fairness in financial markets remain crucial for sustainable economic growth. Government agencies are generally expected to act in a manner that promotes market stability, protects investors, ensures fair competition, and supports economic development.

Intentionally destabilizing the market would contradict the principles of responsible governance and may have detrimental consequences for the overall economy. Such actions could lead to reduced investor confidence, capital flight, economic downturns, and potential political and social unrest.

It is essential for governments to strike a balance between intervention and allowing market forces to operate effectively. Governments can play a crucial role in creating regulations, providing oversight, and supporting policies that foster a conducive business environment while ensuring stability and fairness in financial markets.

But if government agencies ran on a “consciousness of kind” affiliation, would it not exercise policy that most benefits those in the “network”?

If government agencies operate based on a “consciousness of kind” affiliation, where they prioritize the interests of a specific network or group, it raises concerns about fairness, transparency, and equality. Such a policy may lead to favoritism, cronyism, and the concentration of wealth and power within a select few, while neglecting the broader population.

A government’s primary responsibility should be to serve the best interests of the entire society, ensuring equal opportunities and equitable distribution of resources. Policies that prioritize a specific network can undermine this principle and create imbalances within the economy.

Public policies should be designed to promote the general welfare rather than serving narrow interests. Fair competition, equal access to opportunities, and policies that foster inclusive growth are more likely to lead to sustainable and balanced development.

When governments make decisions that only benefit a certain network, it can erode public trust, deepen societal divisions, and lead to social and economic inequality. Therefore, it is essential for governments to adopt a broader perspective, embracing policies that promote the well-being of the entire society rather than a select few.

Could such a government operate in a democracy?

In theory, a government based on a “consciousness of kind” affiliation could operate within a democratic framework. However, it would raise significant concerns and challenges to the fundamental principles of democracy, such as equality, fairness, and representation.

Democracy is built on the premise of equal participation and representation of all citizens in decision-making processes. It is rooted in the idea that policies and actions should be driven by the collective will of the people, with elected representatives accountable to the broader population.

If a government favors a specific network or group, it would undermine the equal representation of all citizens and the concept of majority rule. It could lead to the marginalization and exclusion of certain individuals or communities, resulting in an unequal distribution of resources and opportunities.

Moreover, democracy relies on transparency and open debate, allowing diverse perspectives to be heard and considered. A government driven by a “consciousness of kind” affiliation might suppress dissenting opinions and hinder the free flow of ideas, further weakening democratic processes.

Ultimately, the principles and values underpinning a government based on a “consciousness of kind” may run counter to the foundation of democracy. In a true democracy, policies should be formulated and implemented with the aim of benefiting the entire society, not just a select few.

So when we discuss “Western Democracy”, where media control and manipulation is in the hands of a “consciousness of kind” network, can this be called a false democracy?

When media control and manipulation are concentrated in the hands of a specific network or group, it raises valid concerns about the integrity and fairness of the democratic system. This concentration of media power can potentially lead to biased and unbalanced information dissemination, where certain narratives or perspectives are privileged, while others are suppressed or marginalized. Such a scenario can undermine the essence of open and free public discourse, which is crucial for a healthy democracy.

In a true democracy, media pluralism and freedom of speech are essential pillars that allow citizens to have access to diverse sources of information and perspectives. It enables them to make informed decisions, encourages critical thinking, and promotes accountability among those in power. However, when media control is monopolized by a particular group, it limits the range of ideas and perspectives available to the public, distorting the democratic process.

While it is challenging to label an entire system as a “false democracy,” the concentration of media power in the hands of a “consciousness of kind” network can certainly erode democratic principles and lead to an imbalance of power. It runs contrary to the ideals of open debate, transparency, and equal access to information. Therefore, it is crucial for a democracy to foster a diverse and independent media landscape, where different voices and opinions can be freely expressed and discussed.

Ziggy’s Dilemma.

Ziggy’s Dilemma.

‘Twas a fine skilled swineherd, was Matteu Ziggerman,

Code-named “Ziggy” when knocked down at the stock auction,

Knew more about pigs than a butcher of his bacon.

Knew all their moods, worried on all his broods,

And would fret something terrible about namin’ ‘em..

“I called this one after my “dear, departed wife”, ‘Angelina’..

And likewise in mutual assignation; I wish I’d never seen ‘er.

For she’s also been nothing but trouble, has this Angelina.

For after all my intention, well fed attention..she did kill her litter”.

I could see that experience with the prize sow made him quite bitter.

I helped him load the sow onto his trailer, me in front, him at th’ tailer,

“She looks a nice breed” I made chance to say, “What takes her where today?”

Ziggy shouldered her rump into the float, clanged the gate shut, cleared his throat,

“She’s on her way to the butchers, killed her piglets..so good riddance to her lot,

Been a grand disappointment and bare worth a jot, time I’ve spent,

And just like the original so named, has milked me for every cent!..”

We knew well, Ziggy’s story..his divorce, the accusin’…wife took the children,

All nonsense and lying, but not worth the stress in trying,

To fight for innocence in a world so biased in judgement,

“Anyway” Ziggy on the day did say “the piggery is no place for toddlers with one parent away.”

So he gave it best, swallowed his pride, opened his wallet and paid the claimant..

Though it broke him for years and fair near put him into the ground,

The worry, the work, the time spent running around,

We sympathised, us families that survived those years of insane beleague,

Crazed radicals, tried to set women against men with any scandal and intrigue,

Would paint the most innocent with their own dirt and desire,

Everyman done over as a brute, womaniser and liar..

So will one patch of rust on the iron, tarnish a whole roof,

One well-placed lie will give doubt to a multitude of truth..

We must now make good like cleaning the rust from that roof,

To separate those lies that hold so many back from fair embrace,

And tread most carefully to erase the rotting of the rust,

Then work at restoring between us a foundation of sound trust.

“An‘ I’m liking this sow to that woman I thought I did know,

Usin’ our own children..our own children..as collateral to make claim on our home,

Feeding on natural sympathy given to a mother for her bairns,

To demand every penny that false reason could claim…”

And here Ziggy paused, looking to the pig, gave a sad, fatalistic lay,

“The sow that feeds on her own farrow…is this now the order of these days..?”

Rōnin.

Rōnin.

Adrift in a sea of language,

The Rōnin without a master..

Am I too that same lost soul,

A writer without his muse..

A Teller without a tale,

A wanderer in the lingua franca?

Sing a song for the dreamers,

Whisper a secret for the Lord,

Twist of the knife for a schemer,

The brutal thrust of the sword.

Please remember me my darling,

And don’t forget my name,

For when those words escape me,

I am not to blame.
