Endymion said:Mrs Tigersoap, the following excerpt from Political Ponerology is relevant to your question regarding your daughter. It's on pages 156-157 in the edition with the red cover.
Lobaczewski said:Persons less distinctly inclined in the pathocratic direction include those affected by some states caused by the toxic activities of certain substances such as ether, carbon monoxide,* and possibly some endotoxins, under the condition that this occurred in childhood.**
Editor's notes:
*Considering the fact that the last attempt to impose a pathocracy on the global scale, Nazism, campaigned vigorously against smoking, and the current U.S. pathocracy is also behind the global attempt to 'stamp out smoking' as a 'health hazard', all the while generously distributing depleted uranium, a far more dangerous substance, into the environment, as well as refusing to join any environmental preservation activities, one has to wonder if there is not some connection here. If carbon monoxide, one of the primary substances inhaled when smoking, actually produces a state or condition that is a defense against the mental predations of pathocrats, they would obviously wish to eliminate it. That also suggests that much of, if not all, the so-called 'data' supporting the anti-smoking campaign is 'cooked'.
**i.e., so-called 'second hand smoke'. This actually suggests that second-hand smoke can have highly beneficial effects on children in terms of immunizing them against the effects of psychopaths.
Carbon monoxide intoxication (COI) can result in severe neuropsychiatric lesions. Cognitive impairments and other neurological symptoms are frequently present after years following COI. Affective disorders are observed in almost three-fourths of patients and personality disorders in more than half according to a study by L. Borras et al. Numerous cerebral lesions and perfusion disorders were observed through brain imagery and related to the clinical symptomatology of the patient. For long-term psychiatric consequences of carbon monoxide poisoning, see the case report and literature review in La Revue de médecine interne 30 (2009) 43–48.
Endotoxins are toxins associated with certain bacteria. The prototypical examples of endotoxins are lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or lipo-oligo-saccharide (LOS) found in the outer membrane of various Gram-negative bacteria and are an important cause of their ability to cause disease.
Ailén said:Psyche wrote an excellent article about this, with details about the causes and the symptoms. That, combined with Laura's article about the Golden Age and human devolution, and you get an amazing picture of what we may experience in the not too distant future!! Coming soon, in the next issue of the Dot Connector!!
But then, does this idea fit with what actually happened during Black Death? It was death by comets, all right, but it still looked like bubonic plague or something similar, with infected lymph notes, organs, and everything else, right? Or perhaps it was the progression of the infection, and initial neurological symptoms were the opening for more deadly autoimmune reactions that affected victims' organs according to their susceptibility and weakened state? And it could be something else entirely, of course.

Great! Looking forward to it!

I see resistance coming from my wife to both change as she won't be ready to give up vegies or tolerate smoking in the house but, let not anticipate.

A: Yes

Woodsman said:This isn't the first time I've experienced this sort of thing with respect to all the work going on here. I feel like every time I sit down at the keyboard, I am shadow boxing with some kind of cloud of misguidance. I understand what some reasons for this might be in a Matrix sense, but I have to say, I feel like it's two steps forward, one step back. For a long time, this feeling prevented me from sharing my thoughts and discoveries here at all, but that seemed like a type of stagnation. I actually consulted some I-Ching cards, and the message boiled down to, "You can achieve nothing sitting still. Trust in your community to make the right choices. It's not all on your shoulders." Etc.
I was writing heavily on double-slit experiments a week ago, and now I wonder if I was serving up poop there as well.
I know the solution is to remain open and to continually question myself; I understand the challenge better each time I face it, and my intention is to continue pushing into the wind and sleet, so I get it. But I did want to share.
I suppose I should also add that this post may also be totally misguided in some manner I can't quite conceive of at the moment.
We balance probabilities and choose the most likely. It is the scientific use of the imagination.

Approaching Infinity said:Just want to point out that it Psyche took a look at this section, and it seems like that wasn't what Lobaczewski was trying to get across. Here's some info Psyche found on the things mentioned in that paragraph:
Carbon monoxide intoxication (COI) can result in severe neuropsychiatric lesions. Cognitive impairments and other neurological symptoms are frequently present after years following COI. Affective disorders are observed in almost three-fourths of patients and personality disorders in more than half according to a study by L. Borras et al.

Endotoxins are toxins associated with certain bacteria. The prototypical examples of endotoxins are lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or lipo-oligo-saccharide (LOS) found in the outer membrane of various Gram-negative bacteria and are an important cause of their ability to cause disease.
In the context of the chapter, Lobaczewski is saying that those affected by endotoxins, CO and ether, are less distinctly inclined towards pathocracy compared to the psychopathies and characteropathies he lists just before that paragraph, but more inclined towards pathocracy than those without such damage. He’s giving a list of how susceptible these groups are to pathocracy.
He specifies at the beginning of the page: “The first conclusion which suggested itself soon after meeting with the “professor” introduced at the beginning of this volume, was that the phenomenon’s development is limited by nature in terms of the participation of susceptible individuals within a given society.” Lobaczewski previously gave examples of characteropathies induced by toxins (i.e. diphteria’s exotoxin). CO intoxication produces neuropsychiatric disorders. It's unclear which ether Lobaczewksi was referring to. Synthetic ether lipids analogs are both cytostatic and cytotoxic and bioactive ether lipids are involved in neurological disorders. The ether anesthetic has been used for recreational purposes and the perseverance of its use has resulted in serious nervous disorders.
Of course, that's not to say smoking doesn't have good effects, just that Lobaczewski was referring to something different, i.e. more common carbon monoxide poisoning which produces minor neuropsychiatric disorders.
