Benevolism Test Quiz

Actually written MAY 22, 2006 Message originating from Luke Turner $100.00 reward for information leading to my acquaintance with people who score highly on the enclosed, 10 question quiz. Prize goes to the chronologically first person in a successful chain of leads who supplies fruitful information. If a single lead chain produces my acquaintance with multiple high-scorers, prize increases by half of previous prize increase: $100.00 for 1 high-scorer, $150.00 for 2, $175.00 for 3, and so on. Qualifying scores are by my personal judgment until I become confident in the quiz as a reliable measure. You can help me gain such confidence by taking the quiz yourself. If I happen to know you, your scores will help me measure the predictive accuracy of the quiz. (And be assured that high-scores, although rare, do exist. My sister-in-law is one of them.) Clues: Look for people who are inclined to work in nursing or theraputic professions, and who nurture their intellects. Look for unpopular peo...

Against Metaphysical Continua

Actually written JANUARY 29, 2018 Here I present my reasoning against the existence of metaphysical continua. Preface: What is a metaphysical continua? -WHAT IS A METAPHYSICAL CONTINUA?- First I will explain continua. An example of a continua is a number line representing the real numbers. Each point on the line represents a real number. Between any two of these real numbers there are more real numbers that can be represented by points and labeled. Real numbers can be found between any two real numbers infinitely. No matter how much we zoom in between two neighboring real number points, we can find more real number points between them, infinitely. We will never zoom into the space between two neighboring real number points and find a gap in the real numbers. Continua have no gaps. They are infinitely micro-scaleable. Real numbers, that we represent on number lines, are abstract continua that we grasp with the conceptual level of our consciousness. Space and time are examples of continu...

Competitive Compassion Dream Scene # 1 for IAOEAAO

Image
Actually written JULY 28, 2017 [IAOEAAO stands for: Incoherent Adventures of Everything All at Once. This was the title of a zine I once made, and later the title for a movie I hoped to make.]  Homeless person drifts off to sleep in a downtown business doorway. Thus begins their dream, as follows: GAME SHOW HOST: “Good evening, fellow humans and welcome to tonight’s episode of The Competitive Compassion Show! – the show where schools of thought compete to be the most compassionate as judged by our studio audience. “Tonight’s contestants: Elitist Compassion versus Egalitarian Compassion. Who will our studio audience judge more compassionate? “Let’s begin with you, Elitist Compassion. “Elitist Compassion: what does that even mean? It sounds like an oxymoron. Care to explain?” ELITIST COMPASSION: “Gladly. “It’s important to grasp two crucial aspects of elitist compassion. “1. We elitist compassion folk are cautiously prepared to recognize that at least some inequality may be natural...
