World Hack

The Obama Deception is a video created by Alex Jones, one of the only legit independent investigators still around.  It shouldn't come as any surprise that the most watched version of this film on Youtube has been removed illegally.  How about a world hack point of view?

The video was removed by someone who had access to the password on the account, or by somebody on the inside.  Don't forget that Google owns Youtube, and paid dearly for it.  Google makes all of its money through advertising, or so they claim.  If this is truly the case, there is no reason whatsoever for them to want a very popular video removed from their site.  That is what a first look might tell you, but it can't be the whole story.  How about a world hack list of facts:

• Multiple versions of the video are still present on Youtube under different accounts.
• Google and Youtube know who did the removal! What is their cover story?

I think the second fact is the most important.  Either youtube/google did the removal themselves, or they have a record of who did.  This isn't a conspiracy theory, it is an absolute fact!  Even the most simple websites are capable of recording the IP addresses of every single visitor, and every action they take.  Even worldhack.info does this!  Google and youtube definitely do this, and do it more effectively than anyone else.  I speculate that youtube is one big profiling system to detect and follow people who watch strange videos.  Don't even get me started on Google/youtube working with U.S. intelligence agencies, since now they have even admitted to such activity.

So, what do you do?  First, I suggest you boycott youtube and Google.  I don't expect this to have much of an effect, but it can't hurt.  Second, go find and watch a copy of the Obama Deception somewhere else in the meantime.

Who is the creator of the universe?  There are some pretty far out answers that would make the most dedicated believers out there think twice.  Does world hack believe in god?  No.  It is important that this question is looked at in greater detail.

I have been on this earth for a few years now, and I have come to the conclusion that the most foolish people I have ever met believe in a supreme being.  Some of the smartest people I have ever met also believe in a supreme being.  Damn!  Did you think this was going to be a simple anecdotal argument?  That wouldn't be the world hack way.  How about some random thoughts:

• Did Jesus rise from the grave and give the human beings on earth a get out of hell free card?
• When confronted by an atheist, why do believers always ask "then what do you believe in?" (I guess they don't see the irony)

I think the real problem is not the specifics of the story, but the ideas of belief and faith. To world hack, these words have real meanings, and are not flowery words to be used by fools toward foolish ends.  I believe in evolution because I can reproduce natural selection on a computer.  This is often called a genetic algorithm, and it is just one of a handful of techniques that demonstrate that evolution is possible.  It would take faith for me to believe that evolution took place to create the life seen on earth today.  I don't have this faith. This is what makes world hack different from the rest of the bullshit skeptics and so-called scientists out there.  There is nothing admirable about having  faith in the explanation that most closely fits your world view.  The information in an uncompressed human genome takes far less storage than a single movie on DVD.  I find it completely foolish that many atheists believe that such an amazingly small amount of information could only have created itself through evolution.  Evolution is, however, the answer I would choose if God gave me a multiple choice test.  There is your irony.

I often wonder how large a simulation can be done with computers.  The 13th floor and the Matrix asked this question by suggesting that in the future the entire civilization on earth could be simulated and the humans wouldn't have a clue.  If this were the case, God would be nothing but a computer programmer who could bend the rules on the simulation (You know, miracles!). Does this mean that God is possible?  Sure, I'll accept the idea that the universe is completely simulated by a supreme being.  This doesn't help us figure things out though, does it.  That is what I think is the real problem with belief and faith. It certainly isn't smart to use God as an answer when trying to figure out the universe.  The problem is that God is not a better explanation than the simulated universe idea, or "The force", or chi, tao, or any other witchcraft.  I have no opinion whatsoever on which flavor of booga booga, or hocus pocus anyone believes.  That assumes that your hocus pocus isn't telling you to kill people.  If that is the case, feel free to call me Satan while I kill you.  More irony! Shit.

This whole line of thinking reminds me of the arguments you hear out of philosophers regarding artificial intelligence.  Particularly those who say that intelligence is impossible for computers.  One of my professors said that artificial intelligence will never happen, because whenever computers can do something new, it is no longer considered intelligent.  Think about it!  Chess used to be used to demonstrate human-level thinking.  People were freaked out back when very powerful computers were able to play chess poorly.  A few decades ago computers got good enough to play well.  In what seems like the blink of an eye, technology improved to where a very powerful computer was able to convincingly beat the best human chess player in the world.  That was over ten years ago.   Now I wouldn't bet on any human in a match versus a computer program running on a typical home PC.  That is of course assuming that the program is designed to win.  You see, computers are so good at chess that chess software is deliberately designed to make bad moves in order seem more human!

What does artificial intelligence have to do with God?  It seems that both disappear when more useful explanations are found.  As soon as humans figure out how to do something with artificial intelligence, it is no longer intelligent.  It is just a stupid program.  As soon as humans find a way to do something that used to require God or other supernatural explanations, it is no longer supernatural.  Intelligent design is just backpedaling.  This explanation admits that science can explain something, but that God or another supreme being actually did it.  Don't seek answers!  Your human brain/mind will not meet God when you die, but some supernatural part of you might.  It is ok to think anything you want.

I do what I think is right because of how it makes me feel.  This requires me to believe that some people will cause more suffering during their lives than they will have to suffer themselves.  I don't believe that God, Karma, or the force exists to balance things out.  That is what ends up causing all the trouble in this world.  Suffering people won't be rich in heaven.  Evil people won't suffer in hell.  Wouldn't it be nice, though?  Do you imagine asking God why he allows evil to exist?  I imagine his answer:  "I allowed everything to exist.  I gave you the power to think and know good and evil."  What would God's opinion be on whether means justified ends, or vice versa?

World hack is a human being, and a super-villain mad scientist.  A world hack is also a way to use the tools of evil to improve the world.

Is anybody out there besides me wondering why completely electronic bank transfers take longer and cost more than overnight shipping of cash?  No, it isn't because of security.  You could literally hire a human being and pay a living wage and still do a better job!  Just think about it:

• Human being counts out the cash.
• Human being puts it in envelope.
• Human being sends the envelope via any overnight shipping.
• It arrives the next day!

Am I missing something?  Why does an electronic wire transfer work like the following:

• Fill out a bunch of numbers for your bank account destination.
• Initiate the wire transfer.
• Oh, sorry.  You missed the deadline for transferring money electronically today.  (computers apparently take afternoons off).  Did I mention that the deadline is in a different time zone too, where neither myself or the recipient live?
• Wait until tomorrow, but don't expect the money to be transferred first thing in the morning.

• Side note:  There is often another step here where a random number of cents is transferred in order to "verify" the account.  It seems that computers need practice swings just like douchebag golfers.

What do we really know about what is going on with the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico?  You know that something is important when any two strangers on the street can talk about it without any explaining.

Here are a few things I speculate about:

• Was it an accident?  Obviously some suspicious trading went on beforehand.  Everyone is demonizing BP, while simultaneously calling it an accident.
• How the hell much oil is down there anyway?  Is there anything about this oil spill that might be messing with the peak oil theory?  What if this thing leaks like this for a year with no hope for stopping?  Wouldn't that make you wonder?
• What is going to happen if the problem can't be fixed?  Massive forced migrations?  Widespread mutations?  Superheroes?

Speculation is interesting, and so is investigating.  Never forget the reasons we do it!  How are things going to change when we find out the answers?
