The Chaos Protocols, by Gordon White

^^^^^^ Perhaps, but I still want the references, as I will be returning the book to the library.

But let me tell you about the kinds of libraries we are going to have in the organization I am building!


From Gordon White's "Chaos Protocols", page 52

"When it comes to selecting or determining preferred outcomes, there are two essential concepts that are frequently confused: possibilities and probabilities. It is possible that a billionaire with a heart of gold will leap from his limousine, dart through five lanes of traffic and propose marriage to you on your walk to work. But how probable is it? Failure to distinguish between these concepts is at the root of why the lottery may be legitimacy called a tax on poor people."

We have talked on this board about state loteries, and especially about California's.

White doesn't really go along with the 19th Century occultists who want to source everything in Ancient Egypt.

Economic Harvesting, our financial system is set up to let the top 1% do this.

So continuing here with Gordon White's "Chaos Protocols", mostly his references:

Grant Morrison's "Pop Magic"

Ioannis Marathakis, "The Magical Treatise of Solomon, or Hygromanteia, 2012

Adam Braun. "The Promise of a Pencil: How an Ordinary Person Can Create Extraordinary Change", 2014

Jocelyn K. Glei. "Maximize Your Potential: Grow Your Expertise, Take Bold Risks & Build an Incredible Career"

Paul Huson, "Mystical Origins of the Tarot"

In the 18th and 19th Century occultists wanted to source everything in Ancient Egypt. And so they say that playing cards were derived from the tarot. White is a huge tarot fan and tarot user. But he rejects this Egypt centered view. Playing cards came from the Near East in the 1300's. He feels that tarot cards were derived from these, adding the 22 trumps.

He also emphasizes that there is no line between games of skill and chance, and divination, and that these would have been illegal games, tavern games, maybe also with gambling for money. It is also just about learning to live in a probabilistic world. (FWIW, tarot decks have 4 court cards per suit, where as playing cards have only 3).

Russel Targ. "The Reality of ESP" 2012

From Charles Hugh-Smith, 2015

35% of Americans have debt in collection, 3/4's live paycheck to paycheck, almost 1/2 cannot cover a $400 expense without going into debt or selling something.

One in four college graduates still live with their parents.

The wealth accumulated by the top 1% in the years since 2008, exceeds the cost of all America's social programs combined.

Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew Mcafee. "The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies, 2014

From Catherine Austin Fitts, the total value of every stock market on earth in 1990, $11 trillion. Today it is $70 Trillion, and it is on track for at least $150 Trillion, as more countries launch their own exchanges and the emerging ones continue to grow, "securitisation of the entire planet".

lots of other references, especially to blogs.

White is extremely down on home ownership in inflated markets. Sees people who go for this as completely nuts. I agree.
