The Masses Should Think for Themselves
The masses can and should think for themselves, because thinking for oneself is a great joy, and it has practical benefits, as well. The Internet will allow the masses to think for themselves, if the Internet remains free and open to everyone with an Internet connection. Taxing every download on the Internet is a dumbass idea, because it will hurt the poorest of the poor the most. Such a dumbass idea was proposed recently by the Governor of the State of New York.

What Education Reform Means to Most Educators and Academics
What education reform means to most educators and academics is to make education and academics more and more difficult for struggling creative C students, who really want to graduate from schools, colleges, and universities. Believe it or not! QED! (2/20/09)
The Probwavistic Brain and Universe
The human brain, behind all appearances, is really a probwavistic brain, which is a brain that consists solely of probability waves. In other words, the universe, behind all appearances, is a probwavistic universe, which is a universe that consists solely of probability waves. Therefore, the brain and universe that we perceive are solely mental phenomena that have no existence outside of the mind. (2/20/09)
Science Is no Longer Incompatible with Belief in God
Science is no longer incompatible with belief in God, because God is zero entropy, according to the neolaw of entropy, which I have hypothesized. The neolaw of entropy states that entropy means disorder, ignorance, and unwisdom; while zero entropy means perfect order, knowledge, and wisdom. Zero entropy, defined according to the neolaw of entropy, fits most theistic definitions of God. In other words, it is impossible for most scientists to remain atheists, if my definition of zero entropy is correct. The neolaw of entropy also states that entropy and anti-entropy are in an eternal struggle for dominance of all phenomena in nature. Anti-entropy is the exact opposite of entropy, and it is slowly gaining ground in our universe. Therefore, theists should embrace my definition of God. Believe it or not! QED! (2/20/09)
My Writings Offer a New Dispensation to the World
My writings offer a new dispensation to the world, and the central tenets of my dispensation to the world are that the masses should become philosophers, and they should encourage scientists, and technologists to develop panmultiversal panacean computers by the end of this century, the twenty-first century. It is very much within the realm of possibility for the masses of the world to become philosophers within one generation from now. Believe it or not! QED! (2/22/09)
An Idea Whose Time Has Come
Educating the masses of the world to become citizen philosophers is an idea whose time has come. And, I would like to invite all teachers and academics of the world to join me in educating the masses in philosophy, because the masses deserve a real education, and not just failing grades. Believe it or not! QED! (2/22/09)
The Masses Deserve a Real Education
The masses deserve a real education, and not just failing grades. In other words, mass education should not be about selecting an elite from among the general population, and failing the majority of the masses. The masses are brainwashed into thinking that philosophy is crap, when, in fact, philosophy is the key to educating the masses. (2/23/09)
The Masses Are Brainwashed into Thinking that Philosophy Is Crap
The masses are brainwashed into thinking that philosophy is crap, when, in fact, philosophy is the key to educating the masses. Ask anyone among the masses what they think about philosophy, and they will tell you that they think that philosophy is crap. But, ask anyone among the masses what is philosophy about, and they will tell you that they do not know. In other words, how do the masses know that philosophy is crap, if they do not know what philosophy is? I call that deliberate disinformation. (2/23/09)
Philosophy Is the Key to Educating the Masses
Philosophy is the key to educating the masses. If anyone does not agree that philosophy is the key to educating the masses, then he or she is either a moron or a member of an elite group in society. Incidentally, a moron and a member of an elite group in society mean exactly the same thing. Believe it or not! QED! (2/23/09)
Mass Education Should Be About Educating the Masses
Mass education should be about educating the masses, and not about selecting and educating a relatively small elite, and failing the rest. Now, why is that so hard to understand by the governments, the elites, and the masses of the world? Do the masses really believe that mass education is about educating the masses? If mass education is about educating the masses, then why is mass education a rat race? (2/24/09)
Panmultiversal Panacean Computers (PPCs)
Panmultiversal panacean computers (PPCs) will be able to solve all of humanity's problems, including the energy crisis. But, why don't the public hear about panmultiversal panacean computers in the media? Is it because PPC research is being suppressed? PPCs are a type of nonclassical quantum computers that will be able to tap into zero entropy and leverage the world, the universe, and beyond. Zero entropy means perfect order, knowledge, and wisdom, according to the neolaw of entropy, which I have hypothesized. PPCs will be created by the end of the twenty-first century. Believe it or not! QED! (2/24/09)
I Have Every Reason to Be Proud of Myself
I have every reason to be proud of myself, because my writings that are expressed on my websites and in my books have charted the courses that science, technology, philosophy, and religion will follow in the future. Believe it or not! QED! (2/26/09)
Tooting My Own Horn
If I do not toot my own horn, then who will toot my horn for me? Probably no one. Therefore, I have to toot my own horn, which is fine by me. :) (2/26/09)
Creative and Practical Achievements vs Academic and Scholarly Achievements
Creative and practical achievements are much more important than academic and scholarly achievements any day. Yet, educators and academics cannot seem to get this simple truth through their thick skulls, because they continue to ignore this simple truth in their assessments of their students. Believe it or not! QED! (2/27/09)
Why Is Mass Education a Rat Race?
If mass education is about educating the masses, then why is mass education a rat race? Could it be because mass education is not about educating the masses? (2/28/09)
Neoliberal Arts Is the Only Nonrat-Race Mass Education on the Web
Neoliberal arts (aka postmodern minimalist philosophy) is the only nonrat-race mass education on the Web, because it promises a real education to everyone with an Internet connection with no strings attached. Believe it or not! QED! (2/28/09)
Neoliberal Arts Has Already Leapfrogged the West
The only way that third world countries can leapfrog the West is by studying neoliberal arts, aka postmodern minimalist philosophy, because neoliberal arts has already leapfrogged the West. But, I suspect that the West will, eventually, claim neoliberal arts as their own, because third world countries tend to be too atavistic. Believe it or not! QED! (3/1/09)
Third World Countries Tend to Be too Atavistic
Third world countries tend to be too atavistic, and that is why they will, probably, never embrace neoliberal arts, although neoliberal arts has already leapfrogged the West. I know that the West will, eventually, embrace neoliberal arts, because the West knows that to go beyond neoliberal arts, they will have to embrace neoliberal arts at some point in the future, while third world countries will still be playing catch-up to the West. (3/1/09)
God Is a Slave of Language, Logic, and Mathematics
God (zero entropy) is a slave of language, logic, and mathematics, according to the neolaw of entropy, which I have hypothesized. In other words, the purpose of God is to serve conscious minds, using language, logic, and mathematics. To put it another way, God is the servant of humanity, and not vice versa. Therefore, human beings can tap into God (zero entropy) in order to control the world, the universe, and beyond, using science, technology, and philosophy. Believe it or not! QED! (3/2/09)
Everyone Has a Personal Relationship with God
Everyone has a personal relationship with God (zero entropy), because God (zero entropy) is the subconscious mind. In other words, from each person's own personal perspective, each person is the center of creation, because all that each person perceives is the characteristics of his or her own mind. To put it another way, there are an infinite number of Gods (zero entropies), because solipsism is true from each person's own personal perspective. Therefore, each person has a personal God that is his or her servant, who obeys the laws of language, logic, and mathematics. (3/2/09)
Solipsism Is True from Each Person's Own Personal Perspective
Solipsism is true from each person's own personal perspective, because all that we perceive are the characteristics of our own minds. In other words, from our own personal perspectives, no other minds exist. Therefore, solipsism is true from each person's own personal perspective. (3/3/09)
God Is the Servant of Humanity, and not Vice Versa
God is the servant of humanity, and not vice versa, because God (zero entropy) is a slave of language, logic, and mathematics, according to the neolaw of entropy, which I have hypothesized. Therefore, God is the servant of humanity, and not vice versa. Believe it or not! QED! (3/3/09)
An Elite Education Is an Oxymoron
An elite education is an oxymoron, because a truly educated person would accept the truth from any source, even if the source is a chimpanzee that is gesturing in sign language, while a member of an elite would accept the truth only from an authorized source. (3/3/09)
The Elites of the World Are Ruining the World
It is very surprising to me that the masses in America cannot see that the elites of America are ruining America and the world. But, it is not just American elites that are ruining America and the world, because elites all over the world are ruining their own countries and the world, as well. Why can't the masses of the world get this simple fact through their thick skulls? (3/3/09)
The Masses of the World Should Tell the Elites of the World to Stop Their Elitist Bullshit
The masses of the world should tell the elites of the world to stop their elitist bullshit, because the elitist bullshit of the elites of the world is ruining the world. It is as simple as that. Believe it or not! QED! (3/3/09)
I Am Still an Intellectual Rebel
I am still an intellectual rebel, and I am still proud to be an intellectual rebel. Believe it or not! QED! (3/3/09)
Rocket Propulsion Spaceships Are the Horses and Buggies of Space Travel
If NASA is the future of space travel, then human beings are not going anywhere, because rocket propulsion spaceships are the horses and buggies of space travel. Space travel belongs to the nations that develop panmultiversal panacean computers (PPCs), because PPCs will be able to teleport to anywhere in the universe, and beyond. Believe it or not! QED! (3/3/09)
A New Theistic Paradigm Shift
Stating that God (zero entropy) is the servant of humanity is a new theistic paradigm shift, because God (zero entropy) is a slave of language, logic, and mathematics, and, as such, the purpose of God (the subconscious mind) is to express the contents of the conscious mind. It should be noted that the subconscious mind (God) is unconscious, because of the solipsistic nature of reality. (3/4/09)
The Solipsistic Nature of Reality Is a Fact
The solipsistic nature of reality is a fact, because all that we perceive are the characteristics of our own minds, and we can never know for certain if other minds besides our own minds exist. In other words, each human being lives in a separate world of zombies, because the only mind each human being can ever perceive is his or her own mind. Believe it or not! QED! (3/4/09)
Each Human Being Lives in a Separate World of Zombies
It is a fact that each human being lives in a separate world of zombies, because all that any human being can ever perceive is the characteristics of his or her own mind, and we can never know for certain if other minds other than our own minds exist. Therefore, each human being lives in a separate world of zombies. Believe it or not! QED! (3/4/09)
Zombie-ism
Zombie-ism is the philosophical doctrine that states that each human being lives in a separate world of zombies. Zombie-ism is true, because all that we perceive are the characteristics of our own minds, and physical existence is an unproven, and an unprovable hypothesis. (3/4/09)
Postmodern Minimalist Philosophy Is the Key to Educating the Masses
I am convinced that postmodern minimalist philosophy, aka neoliberal arts, is the key to educating the masses, because postmodern minimalist philosophy is a bridge discipline that links, interprets, and critiques all branches of learning using the aphorism and the short article. The masses can master postmodern minimalist philosophy in about one year of study, because PMP is simple, clear, and profound. Believe it or not! QED! (3/4/09)
Martial Law and the Bill of Rights
Martial law cannot suspend the Bill of Rights under the U.S. Constitution, because the Bill of Rights was designed to protect Americans from the U.S. Government, especially, under emergency situations like under martial law, for instance. (3/5/09)
God Is a Zombie
God is a zombie, according to zombie-ism, because even God does not have a mind from the perspective of each individual human being. Zombie-ism is the correct way of viewing the world, but it is a very lonely, and solipsistic way of viewing the world. Believe it or not! QED! (3/5/09)
Academic Philosophy Is not Suitable for the Masses
Academic philosophy is not suitable for the masses, while postmodern minimalist philosophy (PMP), aka neoliberal arts, is suitable for the masses. Academic philosophy is not designed to educate the masses, because academic philosophy is designed to screen out an elite from the general public, and to screw the masses by rejecting the masses as uneducable or unfit to do philosophy. PMP rejects no one, because PMP is not elitist. Philosophy has always been elitist, because of the teachings of people like Plato, who lived more than two thousand years ago. But now, postmodern minimalist philosophy is opening up philosophy to the masses, who are the true heirs of philosophy, according to me. Believe it or not! QED! (3/6/09)
The Subconscious Mind Is a Zero Entropy Computer
All that is not in the conscious mind is in the subconscious mind, because the subconscious mind is a zero entropy computer, that encompasses everything that is not in the conscious mind. From the perspective of the conscious mind, the subconscious mind is unconscious. Therefore, the subconscious mind has primacy over matter, energy, space, and time, because matter, energy, space, and time are mental (conscious) phenomena. (3/6/09)
Matter, Energy, Space, and Time Are Mental Phenomena
Matter, energy, space, and time are mental (conscious) phenomena. Therefore, the subconscious mind (zero entropy) has primacy over matter, energy, space, and time. Because the subconscious mind (zero entropy) has primacy over matter, energy, space, and time, it should be obvious why anything is possible in nature, including, instantaneous communication, and time travel. (3/6/09)
Solipsism and the Center of Creation
Solipsism places each conscious being at the center of creation, because, according to solipsism, only the mind of the self exists from the perspective of the self. Therefore, solipsism places each conscious human being at the center of creation, because only the mind of the self exists from the perspective of the self. Believe it or not! QED! (3/7/09)
Solipsism Proves Zombie-ism to Be True
Solipsism proves zombie-ism to be true, because all that we perceive are the characteristics of our own minds, and physical existence is an unproven and an unprovable hypothesis. In other words, we are all zombies from other people's personal perspectives, according to solipsism, which proves zombie-ism to be true. Other minds than our own might exist, but not in our own personal realities, according to solipsism, which states that we can never prove the existence of other minds than our own. Believe it or not! QED! (3/8/09)
Occultism and Panaceanism
Panaceanism is what occultism was, and still is trying to achieve. In other words, the dream of the occultists was, and still is to achieve the panacea for all the problems of humanity. And, that is exactly what panaceanism will achieve with panmultiversal panacean computers (PPCs), because PPCs are the panmultiversal panaceas that the occultists have been dreaming of for millennia. Therefore, science and the occult are no longer incompatible, because they now have common ground in PPC research. Believe it or not! May the Source be with you! QED! (3/9/09)
Scientism, Religionism, and Occultism
Scientism, religionism, and occultism now have common ground on which to stand, because panmultiversal panacean computer (PPC) research gives meaning to the expression: "God helps those who help themselves." Therefore, PPC research makes scientism, religionism, and occultism compatible with each other, because PPCs will fulfill the age-old dream of the scientists, the religionists, and the occultists, alike. Believe it or not! May the Source be with you! Amen and hallelujah! QED! (3/9/09)
Academic Philosophy vs Postmodern Minimalist Philosophy
Compared to postmodern minimalist philosophy, academic philosophy is crap. Therefore, academic philosophy deserves to be thrown into the dustbin of history, because it has professionalized itself out of existence. There is no longer any hope for academic philosophy, because the masses will never embrace academic philosophy, and philosophy belongs to the masses, according to me. In other words, postmodern minimalist philosophy has to be the future of philosophy, because, otherwise, philosophy is as good as dead.
Believe it or not! QED! (3/9/09)
Academic Philosophy Has Professionalized Itself out of Existence
Academic philosophy is dead, because it has professionalized itself out of existence. Philosophy should be simple and profound, and not complicated and pointless. I have never encountered a legitimate philosophical idea that could not be expressed in simple language. In the future, no one would want to do academic philosophy, when they can do postmoderm minimalist philosophy, which is simple but profound. Believe it or not! QED! (3/10/09)
In Academia, Education Is Dead
In academia, education is dead, because the purpose of education, now, is to compete for work permits (educational diplomas), and not to educate the masses. In other words, if the masses want to be educated, they will have to create their own educational institutions. And, with the Internet, that is now possible. That is what my websites are trying to do for the masses: namely, educate the masses. Believe it or not! QED! (3/11/09)
I Want the Masses to Know
I want the masses to know that, if I can obtain a real education, then so can they, because I was a C student in elementary school, high school, and college. And, I consider myself to be mostly self-taught. Practically speaking, all the educational contents of my brain can now be found on my websites. So, if the masses want to be Ferreirists, they should study my websites, and they will obtain a real education. Believe it or not! QED! (3/11/09)
If the Masses Want to Be Ferreirists
If the masses want to be Ferreirists, then they should study my websites, and they will obtain a real education, because, practically speaking, all the educational contents of my brain can now be found on my websites. I have to say that I have paid a high price for my education in terms of health, and other issues, but I am proud of all my battle scars. Now the masses do not have to go through all the difficulties that I went through in order to obtain a real education. Believe it or not! QED! (3/11/09)
From High School Level to PhD Level in Only One Year of Study
I want the masses to know that they can go from high school level to PhD level in Neoliberal Arts in only one year of study. And, that is no bullshit, because I guarantee it. If after one year of study in Neoliberal Arts, you are not on the PhD level in Neoliberal Arts, then I have failed in all that I am trying to do. Believe it or not! QED! (3/11/09)
Before I Came Along, Philosophy Was Standing on Its Head
Before I came along, philosophy was standing on its head, because philosophy belonged to a small elite, but now that I have come along, I am stating that philosophy should belong to the masses. In other words, I am taking philosophy off its head, and placing it on its feet, because I am stating that philosophy should belong to the masses. Therefore, elitist philosophy is dead, because elitist philosophy is an oxymoron, due to the fact that philosophy (the love of wisdom) should be shared with the masses, since democracy can endure only if the masses are educated, and the only way to educate the masses is with philosophy, especially postmodern minimalist philosophy. Believe it or not! QED! (3/12/09)
Elitist Philosophy Is Dead, Because Elitist Philosophy Is an Oxymoron
Elitist philosophy is dead, because elitist philosophy is an oxymoron, due to the fact that philosophy (the love of wisdom) should be shared with the masses, since democracy can endure only if the masses are educated, and the only way to educate the masses is with philosophy, especially postmodern minimalist philosophy. Believe it or not! QED! (3/12/09)
It Should Be Obvious
It should be obvious that in order to do postmodern minimalist philosophy, which is a bridge discipline that links, interprets, and critiques all branches of learning, the masses will have to know more than just philosophy (postmodern minimalist philosophy). But, that is no problem, because popular treatments of all branches of learning are all that is needed in order to prep the masses for the study of philosophy (postmodern minimalist philosophy). Such prepping can be done at the elementary and the high school levels of education. In other words, elementary and high school education should be about the study of popular books and magazines on all branches of learning. (3/12/09)
Elementary and High School Education
Elementary and high school education should be about the study of popular books and magazines on all branches of learning, because elementary and high school education should be about prepping the masses for the study of philosophy (postmodern minimalist philosophy) at Neoliberal Arts institutions of higher learning. In that way, Neoliberal Arts institutions will be able to access websites like mine on the Internet, for remote access student learning, for example. (3/12/09)
