Note 26 to "The master of them all"

Deism is the belief in a supreme being who remains unknowable and unreachable. God is seen as "first cause" and the underlying principle of rationality in the universe. Deists believe in a god of nature, a creator who never intervenes, who permits the universe to regulate itself according to the laws of nature. Moreover, the not intervening creator is most often propounded by those who hope that God is on their side. Theism is the religious philosophical view that assumes the existence of one or more gods or especially acknowledges a personal God or deity. Atheism is characterized by the absence of belief in the existence of God or gods. Some atheists believe that gods do not or cannot exist, others limit their atheism to a specific god, such as the Christian God.
It should be noted that these three -isms are agreeing that theirs is an assumption, a belief - although atheists generally do not regard themselves as believers. Back to the main text "

The Neolithic Revolution was the first agricultural revolution, marking the transition from a society of hunter-gatherers with a nomadic way of life to a society of people living in settlements [sedentary] that took to agriculture and livestock farming. Since then people also began to amass stocks for hard times - more organized than is possible for gatherers. Supplies had to be carefully administered -what is whose- which led to the development of writing. The creation of a surplus also led to the more pronounced emergence of a group in society that did not have to do physical labour -all day-, but that had to deal with regulatory tasks. The formation of a group of exempted -from physical labour- that may have heralded the emergence of civil servants, and more meaningful, giving the opportunity to the religious group to have a major impact on society. After all, a good harvest had to be sown in at the right time. The heavens had to be analysed and calendars were made. Often these calenders were marks on the landscape from which the four equinoxes in the year could be read. In southern Anatolia [Turkey] Göbekli Tepe [10th-8th millennium bce] still exists, a complex that could have filled this position and on the Salisbury Plain in southern England is the complex of Stonehenge [3rd-2nd millennium bce] that also may have had that function. On the plains of Xieng Khouang in Laos [500 bce - 500 ce] is a collection of giant jugs suspected to have had this feature also. Also in this time frame astrology emerged as specialty in the hands of scholars, and even more important also a completely different form of religion than the until that time usual ancestor worship.
The Neolithic Revolution took place in multiple regions of the world and most likely independently. In Southern Anatolia in the Fertile Crescent the Neolithic period began around 11,000 bce, around the end of the last ice age. It was in the Fertile Crescent that Zoroastrianism and Judaism emerged.

Note 28

Whether the involuntarily brain also exists in other animals has never been tested or cannot be tested. It is quite feasible that it is present in all animals, but that it has a different name, or is differently interpreted by humans. The involuntary brain in humans often is called intuition by the researchers. Data are collected then from the outside world and compared with evolutionary ingrained or later learned patterns to give the person involved a hunch.
That person then has the choice of acting on his feelings or to consider the supplied data with the autonomous logical brain and whether or not act based on that process. Generally a person accepts a conclusion made with the autonomous logical brain, but he may keep his doubts as the outcome contradicts with his presentiment, or when his logical conclusion does not confirm his presentiment. This to show the power of the involuntarily brain. Back to the main text "

Professor Daniel Kahneman. With Amos Tversky and others, Kahneman established a cognitive basis for common human errors which arise from heuristics and biases (Kahneman & Tversky, 1973; Kahneman, Slovic & Tversky, 1982; Tversky & Kahneman, 1974), and developed prospect theory (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979). He was awarded the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for his work in prospect theory.

Note 30

A well-known example of this is 'the decision of Stalin'. Stalin was the dictator of the Soviet Union -Russia- from 1922 to 1953. In August 1939 the foreign ministers of Stalin and Hitler signed the after these ministers named Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, a non-aggression pact between Russia and Germany. When in late 1940 and early 1941, ever more German troops were drawn together on the German-Russian border Stalin refused to believe that these forces were intended to invade Russia. As Stalin got more information from his intelligence service about Germany's aggressive intentions, he had executed the authors of these reports. Even when German troops were already in combat in Russia, Stalin dismissed the reports as a provocation by his own troops. The war between Russia and Germany actually began in June 1941, less than two years after the agreeing of the non-aggression pact. Stalin took his decisions and had always defended them based on what the involuntary functioning logical part of his brain had prompted him, refusing to accept the risk of war in a situation that Stalin -wrongly- assessed as positive.

Two further examples of the laziness of the brain. Or perhaps it is energy saving. Ask someone to count how many times the digit 9 occurs between 1 and 100. Expressly state the example: 19, 29, 39, and so on. Most people will follow the example and simply reply 10 - an incorrect answer. People who use their autonomous brain, a minority, will realize that they should include the nineties, and step outside the schedule from the example. They give 19 as a response - also incorrect. Only those who fully let go of the schematics of the example and fully make use of their autonomous thinking, a very small minority, realize that the number 99 is composed of two times the number 9. The correct answer on this ground is 20.
The second example of the controllability of the brain from the outside. Ask someone what he likes better, a beefburger or a cheese burger. The person gives his preference. Then ask this person on which day he wants to come and help you move house, Saturday or Sunday. An impressionable person who floats with the flow of his involuntarily brain, will make a choice between these two days, preprogramed as he is by the choice between the two burgers. Does that person laugh or smile when he answers, then he therewith lets know he realizes he is being manipulated - but chooses anyway. An autonomous thinking person, however, will create a wider range of choices, like not helping with moving house.
Every person is constantly confronted with such choices and usually trusting the involuntary brain is actually not so stupid. Life would become unbearable when one is continuously engaged in -internal- discussions as to decide on the colour of the toilet paper. It is getting more serious when one realizes that also advertisement techniques use this mechanism of the involuntary brain. These techniques are congruous to the narrative techniques that -consciously or unconsciously- also are used in countless myths and legends, in the great religious books and in the doctrines of all political philosophical persuasions.

Note 31

A criminal is admittedly someone who hurts, or more precisely someone who does not know how to solve his own pain and thereby hinders another with his anguish. Yet, this does not mean that the word criminal is used or intended here as negative or judgmental. Criminality is a disease and a disease can be cured. Back to the main text "

Note 32

The reader who now concludes that the author is a cynic who thinks in terms of conspiracy theories, misses the point. Who reads critically and thereby uses his autonomous logical brain will notice that no judgments are given in the text. A cynic and a conspiracy theorist judge, because they observe the world from a previously taken position - mostly a negative angle. The scope of what is stated in this book is that anyone who hurts -on any level- express himself that way criminally. That is not a judgment, but an observation, just as saying that cutting someone causes bleeding. Everyone is so used to it that the state functions as it does, that everyone to some extent identifies with the state - A Scotsman or a Thai will always feel to be a Scotsman or a Thai. In countries with a strong nationalist tradition criticizing the state or its functioning is interpreted as criticism on the core of existence. This feeling of identity makes a person an accessory of the state that hurts and makes every citizen a member of a criminal organization even if that citizen does not partake directly in the activities of the state.

A group of men and women Khoisan Note 33

The name Khoisan is a collective name for the San, who are hunter-gatherers, and the Khoikhoi [the “people people” or the “real people”], formerly called Hottentots, who are farmers. Whoever studies the face of a Khoisan, has the stunning experience to look into a countenance in which Negroid, Asian-Indian [as in Native American], and Caucasian features can be recognized.

Note 38

Akhenaten 1352–1334 bce I remember well my first encounter with Akhenaten on the steps of the Parisian former palace, the Louvre. Coming from an exhibition room I strolled down the wide marble stairs when someone said wordlessly in my mind, "Hey, do you not see me?" I stopped in my tracks, turned around and looked up straight into the face of Akhenaten, high on the wall in the majestic stairwell sublimely highlighted with gold filtered spots. Because of this perhaps, it was as if he were the only one in the presence of all other visitors who could have attracted my attention. From his elongated face with the big nose and sensuous lips rock-hard eyes looked straight at me. Both ruthless and loving. Both determined and defenceless. He made me remember my since long lost brother. He said no more. Apparently he was satisfied to have set my attention to him. Much later I went to see him again in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. There are more statues of him there and of his mesmerizing wife Nefertiti in a dedicated wing. How lovely Nefertiti is, the beauty for which I long. I need to go to Berlin one of these days.

Note 43

Secret society, organization of initiated persons whose members, purposes, and rituals are kept secret. Human groups throughout history have maintained secret societies. The ceremonies of initiation into such a society typically begin with an oath pledging secrecy as to all proceedings of the society, ascribing special obligations to its members, and assenting to penalties for violation of the oath. This is followed by tests of the candidate's worthiness, including physical courage and even painful mutilations. A dominant theme in the initiation trials of most of these societies is the symbolism of death and rebirth. After the candidate has passed the prescribed tests, the secret knowledge is transmitted to him. Secret societies have served as schools in which the elders instruct the young men in the ways of their society. These initiations are reminiscent of coming-of-age ceremonies. Women have comparable societies, but theirs have never matched those of men in number. A notable exception was the Hung Society of China, a secret society of women that lasted over 1,500 years. The mysteries, or secret rites and doctrines, of the Egyptians, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans, and other ancient peoples were transmitted solely through secret societies. In modern civilizations secret societies such as Freemasonry are numerous. They usually offer various types of mutual aid for their members; there are, for example, special obligations to members who are ill and to the families of deceased members. Some historic secret societies, such as the Bavarian Illuminati, have been the object of massive paranoid speculation, accused of conspiring for world political domination; but the model of the secret society, with its emphasis on absolute commitment and secret truths that set the initiate apart, has been used to explain various political groups from terrorists to Cold Warriors. Some secret societies, e.g., the Mafia and the Ku Klux Klan, under the guise of fraternal benevolence, have defended the interests of their members by violence.

Note 44

A brief overview. The eastern branch of the Indo-European migration: Around 1500 bce Aryan tribes moved into India and around 800 bce the Medes, Parthians and Persians migrated into Iran [more details in book 5]. The western branch of the Indo-European migration: The Achaeans was the name Homer used for the oldest group of Greeks who settled in Greece around 1900 bce. They were part of the Mycenaean civilization that began to dominate the Greek mainland from about 1600 bce. The Latins settled in the same period in Latium -current name Lazio- and especially in the area of the seven hills on the Tiber they called Rome. Within a relatively short period of time they established some thirty city-states spread across Italy. Their neighbours the Etruscans stand completely apart from the Indo-European migrations to Italy. The origin of the Etruscans is -also in antiquity- unknown. Possibly they came from Asia Minor. Their language was not an Indo-European language. They lived in the area between the rivers Arno and Tiber [nowadays Tuscany and parts of Umbria and Latium]. This area is also known as Etruria. The Etruscan culture was the first great civilization on the Italic peninsula and in their heyday [7th-5th century bce] the Etruscans were one of the most developed nations of antiquity. The further Indo-European migrations. Between the beginning of the first millennium and approximately 700 bce Celtic tribes migrated into the western part of Europe and spread over a large area. The Belgae settled in the lower coastal areas south of the Rhine - north of the Rhine the Germans lived. The Gauls settled in northern Italy, Switzerland and France. The Celtiberians, such as the Arevaci, Lusones, and Berones, settled in Spain and Portugal. The Galatians in Anatolia [Turkey]. A number of groups spread over Dacia [Romania] and Thrace [northern Greece, southern Bulgaria and European Turkey]. Some groups settled in Central Europe where already lived Germans and other Celtic tribes. Thus, the Helvetii finally ended up in Switzerland with the Gauls. A fair number of Celtic tribes crossed the North Sea and settled in Britain. Among them, the Picts [Scotland], the Caledones [along the Great Glen of Scotland], the Scotti [western part of Scotland], the Brigantes [northern England and southeast Ireland], the Parisii [East Riding of Yorkshire and Humberside] and the Cantiaci [current Kent]. Furthermore in Ireland tribes like the Connachta, the Uí Neill and the Dál gCais.
Germanic is also an Indo-European language. The Germans had already settled in the West -at the beginning of the second millennium- prior to the migration described above, mainly in Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein - the area considered to be the German heartland. From there, the Germanic tribes have spread across Western Europe and Scandinavia - Proto-Nordic is an Indo-Germanic language that gave origin to Old Norse by the 8th century.

Note 45

Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus [the Gracchi] The Roman Tribunes -of the Populares- Tiberius Gracchus [163-133 bce] and Gaius Gracchus [154-121 bce] -the Gracchi- observed that the large land estates of the nobility increasingly hampered the functioning of the state. The landowners let slaves do the work, causing ever more free peasants -the backbone of Roman society- to lose their livelihoods. The urban proletariat was thus increasingly supplemented with unemployed farmers, causing the proletariat as a whole to earn a living only with incrementing difficulty. Tiberius Gracchus tried to pass his "field law" through the Senate, a law that aimed to check landownership above a certain limit. A bribed fellow tribune vetoed the law. Tiberius was killed thereon by a client gang of conservative senators -the Optimates- and his body was thrown into the river Tiber.
His younger brother Gaius attempted ten years later to break the strangling monopoly of the landowners. As tribune of the Plebeians his proposed "corn laws", the right of every Roman on a ration of grain, initially contributed to his popularity. After two terms as tribune there was not much left of that fame and he also was physically cornered. Fleeing some client gang, he let himself be killed by his slave on the Aventine Hill. The social unrest in Rome, caused by uneven land distribution and unemployment, escalated in the bloody civil wars of the first century bce, which were finally settled by the first triumvirate of Gnaeus Pompey Magnus [106-48 bce], Marcus Licinius Crassus [115-53 bce] and Gaius Julius Caesar [100-44 bce] and thereafter Octavian Augustus Caesar [63 bce-14 ce].

Note 48

Francesco Carotta is an Italian linguist, philosopher, engineer, editor and writer. Quote> “Carotta developed the theory that the texts on Jesus are based on the life of Julius Caesar. He posited this argument for the first time in two publications with his own publishing house in 1988 and 1989. He then described his findings in two German newspaper articles: in the Stadt Zeitung of Freiburg [April 1989] and Tageszeitung from Berlin [December 1991]. Ten years later, he published the results of his research in the German book "War Jesus Caesar?" [1999]. The book was published in English [2005] under the title “Jesus was Caesar - On the Julian origin of Christianity”.
Any research issue should not only be verified with proper arguments. A serious researcher should also check whether a theory can be falsified. Is the latter possible? Yes, Carotta's cards are blown away by the testimony of Tacitus. The Roman historian speaks in Annales 15,44 (written around 115) with great condescension about the pernicious superstition, exitiabilis superstitio, of Christians. They are evil and they are guilty of hatred against mankind. In this regard, Tacitus explains to the reader where Christianity originated. 'The name is derived from the Christ who was executed during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of the procurator Pontius Pilate', as M. A. Wes translates the passage, which is recognized as genuine by all modern editors of the Latin text. However, Carotta knows better: we are dealing here with a forgery of evil monks!” <Unquote. The foregoing text is from Skepter, Volume 15, Number 4, 2002 and was written by the Dutch scientist Anton van Hooff. Carotta and van Hoof have ever met, both as a member of a panel discussion, on which occasion Carotta called van Hooff an ass because of his rejection of the theory.
It is true that van Hoof is correct in the description of the scientific process. This starts with a good research question that can be investigated, then a hypothesis that makes sense, and then a careful examination for verification and possible falsification of the hypothesis. If the hypothesis passes all tests, then it can be called a theory. Even so, that Carotta does not his examine his hypothesis scientifically renders it not less interesting. More realistic, however, is a third possibility not yet under consideration by any party. That the Jesus of the early Christians in Rome was an unacceptable figure, is shown by the quotation of Tacitus. Jesus was acceptable, however, to Emperor Constantine who made Christianity the state religion. In the period between Tacitus and Constantine, the about 280 years between circa 56 and 337, something happened that caused the Roman state to change its appraisal. It is not inconceivable, maybe even plausible that the early Christians in Rome remodelled the story of Jesus along the lines of the imperial cult. Octavian -Caesar Augustus- had persuaded the Senate to raise Julius Caesar to the status of God and Augustus took this as a starting point for his imperial cult. The Christians in Rome were persecuted because they saw Jesus as the Son of God, intolerable in Roman eyes because Augustus was already the son of God -Julius Caesar-. When the imperial cult had become meaningless and obsolete the Christian Son of God remained intact and was sufficiently acceptable for Constantine to serve as a replacement. Back to the main text "

Note 49

The Netherlands fought an eighty-year war of independence and separated itself from Spain [Philip II, 1581-1598], becoming the Republic of the Netherlands and at the height of its power richer than many a king. The literati and the trading houses after the Spanish sacking of Antwerp in 1585 fled north to Amsterdam. The Pope had no authority anymore in the Netherlands, because in the north of Europe the Reformation was virtually complete. The Netherlands for the first time ever revealed that a country needs no King and no Pope. The leader of the war against Spain, William I [the Silent] of Orange-Nassau, was not allowed to call himself a king, but only a steward. His descendants would only be crowned King during the restoration after the Napoleonic period [1815]. Moreover, the grandson of William I [the Silent] was William III [reign 1650-1702], King not of the Netherlands, but of England, Scotland and Ireland - as co-monarch of Mary II Stuart. In the Netherlands he still was just a steward, a Stadholder.
Only one reigned the Netherlands as King before the currently still prevailing dynasty of Orange-Nassau. Emperor Napoleon in 1806 appointed his younger brother Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, nicknamed the Lame King, King of the Netherlands. Back to the main text "

Columbus was actually looking for an alternative route to the spice countries through the western route. Columbus searched for it because the eastern route around the Cape of Good Hope, was assigned by the Pope as a monopoly to the Portuguese. The first to find a route through the west was Fernão de Magalhães [1480-1521], Magellan. He found the route around South America, Cape Horn, and his last ship with Juan Sebastian Elcano [1487-1526] as captain was the first ship that made the voyage around the world. De Magalhães was already killed by then in the Philippines when he militarily tried to impose his will on the natives. Back to the main text "

Based on the methodology of Carl Haub [How Many People Have Ever Lived on Earth?] Peter Grünwald [Peter Grünwald, the Dutch national research institute for mathematics and computer science] updated the figures. Perhaps also of interest in this context: What is your number?
Incidentally, another y'know, the space in the atom between the nucleus and the electrons around it is comparatively huge. When that space could be removed in one way or another, and the atomic nuclei and the electrons of all people on Earth could be packed closely together, then all people combined would take the space of a sugar cube.
