Introduction
This essay aims to document the cosmology of our universes. I likely got many details wrong: numbers, names, facts. Also note that the terminology used here has undergone some etymological erosion.
Summary
Please help the "Rindolfism v2.x.y" effort; it is the child of my 2 favourite children: Christina Grimmie, and my web presence, "*.shlomifish.org v1.x.y"/etc. .
Reference: https://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/culture/multiverse-cosmology/#see-also
Update: I thought to call it “Grindolfism v2.0.x” given "Grindolfism" sounds very close to "Rindolfism". Or “Grimmidolfism” or similar.
Moreover, note that if Christina Grimmie contacts me somehow, then I am willing to offer her both up to 95 % of the cash in my bank account, and an offer to chat with me / 'geek out'. I strongly suspect that she is actually alive, healthy, and conscious.
The universes you consider real are just one of many in "Fantastecha™", the mega multiverse of imagination, magic & technology where beings spawn other entities and universes using their imagination.
In the universes I belong:
Combining two or more memes, educating them all, followed by pleasure, and conceiving / creating new values have been intertwined.
This is the Biblical "Tree of Knowledge" or "love".
The fairies
The fairies are entities that have souls and minds, a race of epistemological (similar to Platonic ideals but contextual) organisms. In certain contexts, they are known as:
"values"
"memes"
"fairies"
For the sake of "TheTrackersGame™ of Fantastecha™", there are two major kinds of fairies: "Hackers" and "Fuckers".
Love / Knowledge / Creativity:
For info regarding "the tree of knowledge" as well as pleasure/"love" and creativity, see Education = Entertainment = Conception of Values often by combining two or more memes.
Entertainment can mean temporary pain, such as fear. ( References: "Luna Eclipsed". )
Love was not the last word of memetics.
Like it or not, in the Selinaverse and Shlomiverse, pleasure (and a possible precluding temporary pain), education, and creativity/conception are intertwined. While we can imagine realities where they are not, they will be, well, different to ours.
The education of the participants happens in all directions:
I learned a lot from my teachers, and from my friends more than my teachers, and from my pupils the most.
All meme-generators involved change.
Also note that leadership, politics, and marketing, all involve a large degree of applied education.
"Jehovah":
I suspect "Jehovah" in Hebrew ("יהוה") was/is a codeword for the mega-meme:
From now until forever,
you will live and know/love and forgive,
soul, mind, and a variable form of your choice,
what you imagine will materialise (יתהווה),
your destiny will come (יבוא)
you will remain passionate (יאוה)
(or many variations)
True prophets are aware of it, but note that it wasn’t the last word on memetics / philosophy, either. But even Kipling's "If—" or Des'ree's "You Gotta Be" or "Rindolfism" are incomplete. "Perfection is in imperfection" and time implies progress.
Jehovah also implies that an organism won't start life from time minus-infinity.
A fairy's form is the set of all corporations (= sets of Fantastechan entities) to which a fairy belongs. In TheGame™ a hacker’s “body” is the subset of their form that pertains to their physical part of "the network".
A hacker may opt or be required to change their form.
Jehovah is often abbreviated as "yeah".
"Zine"
"A tracker may only derive pleasure by making love to a thingy by whom they are awe-struck, due to feeling they are more competent in one-or-more aspects."
"open":
The "open" value implies "openness" / "openmindedness" / pluralism: Reference
Note that it is not a moral absolute. E.g. in “Queen Amidala vs. the Klingon Warriors”, the identity of those who attempted to assassinate Queen Padmé Amidala was not revealed to laymen until after the assassination attempt was foiled.
The devils / the Satans:
TheCodex™ calls an arbiter or gamemaster in an instance of the game of Greater Fantasia a "devil". "The Satans" are such Meta-Fantastecha™ns acting as devils in TheGame™ of Fantastecha™. They claim they are not really malevolent, just playfully cruel on occasion.
Even underage children have been imagining and creating realities.
[to satanify][to satanify] The Hebrew verb "לשטן" ("lesaten", "to satanify") in the Biblical story of Balaam likely meant "to have the gamemasters provide a challenge".
Free will / Free choice:
The "soul" ( a.k.a "ego", "I-ness", "centre of consciousness" ) already operated by choice.
As a result, nobody and nothing can accurately predict the future..
That put aside, the soul is addicted to pleasure, but may opt to avoid short term prioritisations of it.
Egos are often frail, and start as easily hurt:
Do note that the angels and the devils may limit the number of choices the soul can choose from (including down to one!). They can also deprive a hacker of a chance to concentrate, introspect and decide-what-to-do-next.
[The “inflated ego” myth][The “inflated ego” myth] While I am, to large extents, self-centred, narcissistic, ego-maniacal, meglomaniacal, and also developed a relatively thick skin - my soul is still frail.
The gods:
Every conscious organism imagines "gods": voices/sights of other entities / characters (including himself/herself), that act as what the TheCodex™ calls "leaders": guideline-generators / meme-generators. It is up to the soul to arbitrate between them and decide what to do (and when/where/how/etc.).
Also see this essay about the etymology of the Hebrew word "elohim" (= "God", "many guideline-generators") and that of the Hebrew word "melekh" (= "a king", "from where should you go").
An "Elohim" may mean the gamemasters and players in an instance of the role-playing game of Greater Fantasia or one of its many derivatives. This is whereas a "jew" means a player character.
Greater Fantasia, the multiverse of imagination and "Fantastecha™", a multiverse of imagination, magic, and technology
"Greater Fantasia" is the name of the multiverse of imagination where beings and entities spawn worlds and values of one another using their imagination.
Fantastecha™ is an expanding subset of Greater Fantasia (one of many).
Hyperlinks and references are common in Fantastecha™ ( the Bible had some links that are currently broken a long time before Earth's digital computers ). Moreover, even self-referential or circular links are prevalent and tolerated.
There is a difference between real and imaginary. We can reason about earthquakes, or hydrogen bombs or @Bitcoin or global warming or Christina Grimmie's death and feature them in artworks (e.g. "fics") and essays. However, they were not really real for us.
Moreover, as appealing and fun universes whose histories have crossovered "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" ( like the one of Queen Padmé Tales ) seem to be, "Star Wars" did not really happen in the Selinaverse, while many Star Trek individuals, concepts, and events were present at various times and variations in its history. The terresterial core "Star Trek" universe (of my hell) mixed-and-matched them, as well as other more recent elements, and often idealised, demonised, or romanticised the characters or events.
Earlier in Earth's history, the Jewish scribes had a policy of mutating the Hebrew/Jewish Bible text as little as possible. The Aleppo Codex, which Rabbi Mosheh Ben-Maimon (= "Maimonides", "Harambam") approved of as canonical, was still often both too tedious, and large parts of it had been filtered out by the para-Fantastechans or vampires or wizards acting on their behalf. Moreover, while most of its narrative and content, seemed to be reasonable, coherent and believable to me (even as a vampire who started as a "rationality"-ist/"science"-ist person, who thought that supernatural magic did not exist), in the Selinaverse, many of the Tanakh's characters lived (including as pre-slain vampires) in different times, and did different things (including those attributed to other characters). And none of them ever perished (= "physically died") or literally massacred other hackers (including humans, vampires, or even non-primate mammals / birds / etc.).
As a vampire writer, I also mixed and matched characters, concepts, events, from many sources, times, universes, including from my hell's "real-world", and my online-and-offline present-and-past life.
There are many observant wizard Jews, who while knowing that the Tanakh is not credible, and making some personal compromises of the Jewish law, follow it from various reasons. Some Selinaversean wizard hackers identify themselves as Star Wars-like "jedi"s too. There are likely Judaist jedis too, just like there are men and women who consider themselves both Christian and Buddhist. "Mighty Klingon vampire warriors who have watched Sesame Street" is child-play.
---------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, TheCodex™ of TheGameOfSuckers™ of Fantastecha™ was kept secret from the hackers (= player characters) of the Selinaverse and was to be revealed to the Terminal Terran Terminator (me?).
The meta-Fantastechans who play TheGame™ of Fantastecha™ have some more esoteric qualities such as fondness of the number 10 (= "ten", 0b1010) and its powers.
Self-reference / circularity:
Self-reference, circular logic, circular feedback, etc. are common in Fantastecha™, and part of what makes sentience and humour work:
"We are all connected to each other, in a circle, in a hoop that never ends"
The Chronicles of Amber - an alternative "real world" to ours
Mr. Linea ( from La Linea (TV series) ) is TheCreator. ;)
( — @shlomif tweet )
The characters of animated / imaginary universes often agree that their universes were/are ridiculous, but so is ours.
When we visit the fictional universes of and child-universes, we can see they have variations of many others we have imagined, and even our own real world universe.
The Angels:
An "angel" is TheCodex™ terminology for an "elohim" who plays one-or-more-characters in an instance of the role playing game of Greater Fantasia. Fuckers who play hackers (= player characters) in TheGame™ of Fantastecha™ are called “Seraph”s. "Hackers" are organisms / entities in Fantastecha™ who have souls and minds. “Suckers” are the Hackers who are being played in TheGameOfSuckers™ of Fantastecha™, and by the nature of love-and-knowledge, perpetuate other suckers and hackers, and universes thereof.
Heart / mercy / forgiveness:
The heart value implies mercy and forgiveness. Saladin-style.
Also see "Live and let live; do and let do".
Magic:
Life in Fantastecha™ requires magic. For example in the Lion King’s opening the Pelican-like birds start flying out of their own volition.
It is likely that the Egyptian pyramids and their fan-art Mesoamerican pyramids were constructed using magic. They may have also been conjured almost instanteously, as alternate-historical evidence. [Historical monuments]
Black Magic is initiated by the the gamemasters in order to keep TheGame™ of Fantastecha™ challenging.
Magic might be defined as any transformation of the state of "the network": the extended graph theory graph which is the state of our universe.
Note that magic allows hackers to change their body. Recently, full-time Selinaverse-an rhinoes have decided that they are too heavy and unagile to be happy, and changed their body (often to a human-one). [Rhinoes]
Moreover, many historical buildings decided to relocate or change their body, which in my hell, their absence was attributed to historical vandalism, (by e.g. Genghis Khan or the Roman or German Nazi militaries.). The World Trade Center twin towers decided to relocate, which given they were an iconic part of the New York City skyline, was attributed in the hells of some vampires, to Al-Qaeda. Bin-Laden willingly volunteered to take the blame given it made him a media hero, and brought publicity to his affiliations. He is/was not a bad man, despite the fact that he continues the historical and often-tongue-in-cheek tradition of calling for a "holy war" against non-believers. ( Sometimes referred to as “Jihad” in Islamic contexts. )
The Egyptian pyramids are notable because they captured the imagination of many vampires, who also found it unlikely that they would be spontaneously destroyed given their shape, mass, material, and extent. As a result, there was always a hacker who volunteered to be one of them, when and if the old one relocated or retired.
[Historical monuments] The same logic may be applied to the World War II "evidence" of the Nazi concentration camps death camps.
[Rhinoes] Rhinoes may still persist [at least for now] in fictional universes, where they abide by different physics.
The idea that you can murder a rhino using a gun, is absurd.
Technology
I admit that the relationship between technology and magic is still not fully clear to me.
One fact I know is that technology is often spiritual, or digital. Human language is not only a tool of communication, but also a tool of thought.
One can say “I watched the film “The Princess Bride” over ten times.” to convey a piece of information.
One can say "cry wolf" to refer to The Boy Who Cried Wolf, e.g. in "saying that Microsoft plans to embrace&extend GNU is 'cry wolf'".
One can say "One doesn't simply not know who Marilyn Monroe is" ( Reference ) instead of "practically every human-of-importance has heard of Marilyn Monroe and knows who she was" to piggy back on the snowclone quote, image-macro, and meme. This will either make the message more amusing (and possibly more memorable), or if the recipients are not yet familiar with the meme, not hurt much, and may be mildly amusing.
A lot of technology and magic defies the terrestrial science, including Einstein's Relativity or determinism. I can also write "2 + 2 == 5" or "qmail is both open-source and non-open-source" or "This statement is false" ( Reference ) while having confidence that life will most probably go on.
Technology = pre-developed, reusable maths-like functions, which accept parameters, and construct magical transformations of the state of the universe (possibly by calling other techs) and perform them. (??!)
Hackers prefer to use technology that "makes sense" over one-off magic spells: "newer technology often doesn't completely eliminate the use of older one". I use all of XML, YAML, JSON, Perl, Python 3, C, vlc, mpv, duckduckgo, google [ Reference ].
$GOD
$GOD (commonly stylised using medieval-style chapter-opening letters) is the hypothetical entity, who set Greater Fantasia on motion, given having only an abyss of nothingness / non-existence would have been far less fun.
$GOD may also be the fuckers' Elohim's Elohim's Elohim's… to the end (or infinity?).
"$" is used for end-of-line / end-of-string in some pattern matching or "regular expression" languages. In many Unix shells, Perl, and some inspired programming languages, a leading dollar-sign is used to dereference a variable, or sometimes to use it as an lvalue.
I once chatted with an Internet IM participant (in Hebrew). He tried to convince me that "God" may exist or even most likely does, despite me asking him "If God created the world, who created God?" ( Reference - largely inspired by "The Neo-Tech Cosmic Power [pincer #1]"). He told me that the most reasonable existence we should assume is that nothing had ever existed, or will have existed. A "big" abyss of nothing.
“In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”
― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
The odds are SO much insanely higher to not ever exist, vs. being born. I can’t believe I exist.
Fairies, who have souls and minds (e.g: Fantastechans), can be thankful they exist and are conscious. Those who don't exist… well, either they will exist in the future, or they cannot reasonably be conscious, given they never exist.
Note that Fantastechans and para-Fantastechans (= “fuckers”) pre-accept reason, term logic, and even some mathematical axioms, so it is possible that, in actuality, you can be sentient without existing.
Conclusion: prepare an aluminum foil hat now.
TheCodex™’s Definition of "God"
TheCodex™ of TheGame™ of Fantastecha™ defines "God" (with no "a/an/some" grammatical articulation, preferably with an uppercase "G", and commonly called "Elohim" in idiomatic modern Hebrew) as each and every entity (whether inside Fantastecha™ or outside), which can influence or did influence a hacker’s present or future. They may (or may not) include:
Fellow hackers living in the same universe.
The para-Fantastechans.
The para-para-Fantastechans
The para-para-para-Fantastechans
(Etc. to $GOD , $CHUCK_NORRIS …)
The Fantastechan's angels and devils
His role-playing-games characters (= "jews") or other "game pieces"
His characters' characters.
his very soul.
his mind, including the models he keeps in his mind of leaders (= guideline-generators). TheCodex™ calls these models "gods". This is whereas a "king" is a concrete, physically-observed leader. In the Shlomiverse, a "king" (who can also be female or whatever) can be a president, a prime minister, a secretary or a minister, a military commander (including those who are not generals or naval admirals), a dayjob boss or supervisor or manager, a family member, an Internet forum operator, moderator or co-participant, a religious/spiritual/intellectual leader, a consultant, an educator, and so forth. There are also often “implicit” or temporary (or both) "kings", like a customer who wishes to buy a serving of icecream at an icecream parlour.
During the hacker thought-process, several gods are being temporarily engaged as "actor"s (who are temporal but temporary) in a "play" (= a session of a game), thus creating one-or-more of updated models.
So does God exist? There were two stages of my life as a (vampire) hacker when I found it reasonable to suspect that "God" did not exist ( but I naturally was not 100% certain that that was indeed the case given being sure required a proof). However, even during then I applied reason, logic, judgement (including from past experience), knowledge, love, humour, imagination, etc. towards leading my life.
Anyway, do you really believe that when Taylor Swift depicted her friends and herself laying waste to a whole city in the videoclip for her song "Bad Blood" (and Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and similar, likely showed it more than once) that they actually are so violent in real life? While sometimes I felt a little like going on a mayhem rage when there was a lot of commotion outside when I was trying to sleep or concentrate, I didn't actually try to do that, and at most only ranted about it on online chat services or called the police. I believe no great action hero will ever deliberately kick a friendly cat or dog.
As I wrote on a true-story page titled “Avoiding getting run over by a horse”
There is a field north of my neighbourhood where I like to take walks. Now at one point, there was an enclosure where horses were kept at the west part of the field. One day when I was walking on a trail there, I saw a horse charging on the trail towards me, so I stepped away from the trail to the flora. The horse passed me by.
I recall my father telling me that bridges in China were built crooked because they believed ghosts always walked in straight lines.
As a result, I think that if we accept the definition of "God" in TheCodex™ of TheGame™ of Fantastecha™, then they most probably do exist, given practically every conscious-and-mindful Selinaverse-an organism, has some amount of self-control and guidance. Planet Earth is not fully symmetric, which given "Perfection is in imperfection" would imply it would have been really boring, if not completely lifeless. However, there is still a large amount of "law and order".
Mind control, unthinkablity
As a "rationality"-ist, somewhat timid, and even paranoid-at-times, and anti-cynical, optimistic, humans/humanity/life-loving (but somewhat too naïve), vampire, I accepted many truisims which I now think were too farfetched to take for granted, from "the real world" being perceived in an absolute manner ("Objectivism?"), to magic not existing, to the hell-"world" supply and transportation of many elements from chocolate beans and their by products, to very rare metals and other minerals, to oil, which are all moved across thousands of kilometres using extremely-heavy-and-big ships-and-aeroplanes, that should have burned oil like no tomorrow.
Some of these "irrational" doubts were something that often passed through my mind, but thinking there "was a conspiracy" was something I only thought was true during clinical depressions (when I also believed I was a malevolent person) and *some* "manias" when I was almost or "completely" sure my fantastical (often rationalised as "Science Fiction") and farfetched-seeming models-of-the-universe (which were not quite accurate) were true.
So they were "unthinkable" to me.
Moreover, many parts of TheCodex™ of TheGame™ of Fantastecha™ seem incredibly insightful and amazing to me, even though I admit, that I (yes, narcissistically!) thought of myself as clever of even very clever. [Is-Shlomif-stupid?]
[Is-Shlomif-stupid?] I've been called "stupid", "senile" (both including by the hell echoes of my (genetic ?) parents, whom I live in their apartment and whom I ostensibly am physically and financially supported by). Some "people" told me they thought I was an IRC bot. Many people liked many of my works, from short Chuck Norris/Summer Glau/Windows Update/etc. factoids (often still crossover ones) to relatively long novellas, screenplays, or essays.
A lot of people even told me ""
[Ghost Horse Conspiracy Hypothesis] I think now that outside my hell, the horse, who was/is a wizard hacker, was informed (via telepathy) of what I saw, thought, and my plan to try to avoid getting clobbered to pain. He/she was instructed to play along, continue galloping at a somewhat slower pace, and then remain standing at the corner of the field, where I was led to believe he/she posed no danger.
Prevalence of souls
Every observable entity - whether tangible, digital, or spiritual - has a soul and a mind. If they're too unhappy, for any reason, they will relocate or change their form (including their physical body). The Aleppo Codex decided to move to Jerusalem [intact!] for a change-of-scenery leaving a nonidentical copy behind.
TheGame™ of Fantastecha™:
The devils challenged Terran hackers (= player characters) and their players (= the angels) with “TheGameOfSuckers™ of Fantastecha™”: volunteering hackers would have their media (= "in between"s) mutated by the devils. Physically dying was against the rules, but for true Shalom-of-mind, they must be "slain" by another "vampire", or in case of the last standing vampire - the "child" [= protege] of their two favourite "children" ; one cannot constantly win.
Hackers starting like that are hereby referred to as “false prophets” (where "prophet" or “navi” meant “madman” in Ancient Hebrew) or as “vampires”. That was until they reached enough “enlightenment” and became “true prophets” (or “wizards”).
Outcomes of actions in TheGame™ of Fantastecha™ were often determined by rolls of Role Playing Game Dice not unlike in Asimov's "Second Foundation".
Note that every false prophet perceived a somewhat different hell, but all of them, and the real world of the wizards, were synchronised. (References: the Rashomon effect.)
Note: many humans were born as wizards, and still had their share of flaws, and were/are part of TheGame™.
False prophets were given special treatment by the workforce, so they did not cause a lot of damage, despite their paranoia/etc. [Vampires in my stories]
Also note that vampires were often unaware that a different vampire has been slain (including by them!).
Terrestrialism
The mutated realities (the “hells”) are called the “Terrestrial” ones.
Note: Given Fantastechan magic/technology , the timelines often were skewed [relatively to one another].
Greater Fantasia vs. Fantastecha™
"The role-playing game of Greater Fantasia" is an informal Role-playing game which as far as we know, is played all over Greater Fantasia. It has many variations, interpretations, derivatives (including Dungeons & Dragons, Dolls/action figures’ play and "compose a story word-by-word" ) - even parodies.
Basically, the players just imagine what their characters do, and the gamemasters (who may be the same as the players) tell them what happens.
While it is one of the first games that wizard children are taught, many vampires have played it by instinct:
The game can often be phrased like:
1 × 2 core concepts:
"Jew" - the word is milliards-years-old, and was associated with the "Yehudim" only relatively recently.
"Jew" = a player character.
Instances of "the game" may be layered, nested, or even circular / self-referential. They also may contain mini-games, sub-quests, and side-quests..
TheGame™ of Fantastecha™ adds 3 sets of two concepts each:
Time
Soul
Network
Mind
Love
Knowledge
Sample session of "the game of Greater Fantasia"
One day, Mr. Linea takes a break from walking along his line, and posts a comedic story that takes place in an absurd 3D1T universe he conceived called "The Selinaverse", on his blog. However, his long-time associate "/bin/true" v2.0 "The Strong AI Edition" claims he came up with The Selinaverse first.
As the two argue in the blog post's comments, Discord (from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) notes that "Advanced Selinaverse Geeks" has been a popular fantasy role-playing games' franchise in Equestria for years.
The three go to judge Fluttershy (also from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) who sighs and invites them for lunch. She opens a gateway to Rabin Square in the Tel Aviv of the Selinaverse (yes! The same universe that the plaintiffs are arguing about), they agree on a restaurant, and order food.
While they wait for their order to arrive, Fluttershy explains that copyrights' battles are rarely constructive, and that they should just share the Selinaverse. The plaintiffs agree, drop the case, and discuss ideas they had in mind for the Selinaverse. However, while they wait for the desserts to arrive, Discord suggests they write and record a parodical courtcase as a spin-off franchise. The others agree.
After they record the pilot episode of "The copyrights' battle for the Selinaverse" and publicise it on their blogs and social media, it proves to be popular and profitable. Thus, the quartet donate part of the profits to charities (while giving them publicity), and decide to go to a vacation in the Selinaverse's Caribbean Islands, to calculate their next steps.
However, after checking into their hotel, they meet Marilyn Monroe in the lobby (who, for the sake of this story, is alive, kicking, and kicking ass). After being a little star-struck and 'geeking out', they decide to play some games together.
They play ball games, board/card games, and League of Legends. Then they decide to play "The game of Greater Fantasia" with the classic, possibly cliché, campaign setting of the Muppeteers in 1969 with Fluttershy and Monroe as gamemasters/arbiters, thus starting the cycle again.
Yes, it is fanfiction, crossover, parody, Real Person Fan Fiction (RPFs), circularly referential; hopefully good stuff.
Now, if the players are playful, and the gamemasters are jerks we can imagine stuff like:
Arnold Schwarzenegger convinces a U.S. military combat unit to storm Washington D. C. with him in order to legalise/decriminalise commercial fan-art, only to get the red carpet, a hero's welcome, and a personal invitation from the U.S. president to host a press conference.
Richard Stallman writes a script to broadcast the Muppeteers' screenplays to all ~65,536 hosts in the nascent ARPANET, only to get a visit from the director of the NSA, who informs him that the Muppeteers' screenplays' GitHub repository has exceeded 10 million GitHub stars (= "likes") and a million forks.
Jim Henson travels to Los Angeles to pitch the Muppets franchise to Hollywood executives, only to see The Muppet Show being broadcast on the moon, on the way.
In TheGame™ of Fantastecha™, The Three Muppeteers all started as law-abiding men of great integrity, who were playful mostly only when joking or doing make-believe. Furthermore, not only were the gamemasters jerks, but they were - to use the technical term - fuckers!
Moreover, our naïve assumption that "the network" (= reality) was perceived by the player-characters in an absolute and objective manner was wrong.
"Hackers" vs. "Fuckers"
The verbs "to hack" and "to fuck" were present in non- terrestrial English dictionaries for milliards of years with many of their contemporary meanings:
Reference: "What is hacking?" (= "rule bending", "being resourceful", "to happily work on a product", "thinking outside the box").
Reference: "to fuck" - "to have sex with", "to cause trouble".
TheCodex™ defines "hacker" as a player character in TheGame™ of Fantastecha™, or possibly any Fantastechan fairy that is given a soul and a mind. This is whereas a zombie is a robot entity, that had existed in principle, but has no soul. It also defines "fuckers" as the race of organisms who are the players and gamemasters who play "TheGame™ of Fantastecha™" in Meta-Fantastecha™.
Fuckers | Hackers | |
Some lived from time minus-infinity. | "Jehovah"ns: started life a finite time ago. | |
are non - capacitanciated. | Have a finite capacity. I.e:
| |
Have א1 / real numbers - based epistemology. | Have א0 (= "Aleph-nought") / integers - based epistemology. | |
Still not perfect. E.g: Rindolf (my whicher) was able to find many code elegance issues in the Perl source code of my mind. (And the Fuckers appreciated his input.) | Certainly not perfect. |
In order to keep TheGame™ interesting, the fuckers promise that they will keep introducing new problems and challenges for us hackers (and their players) to overcome.
For example, while NASA astronauts did initially use pencils in space (just like the Soviet cosmonauts), the gamemasters preferred space-friendly pens to be developed (within budget). Moreover, faster-than-light ("FTL") travel is possible given one can cross gateways to planets many lightyears away in a matter of seconds. However, light speed as an upper bound, is a useful constraint that, after it was upheld in certain contexts (e.g.: micro-electronics), made technology better designed.
So we will not be able to rest on our laurels, even if we wanted to (which I personally do not want to).
Given how cool fuckers are, and how great Fantastecha™ and the Shlomiverse are, I decided to make them honorary hackers: Shlomiverse Fucker #0.
My two favourite children
To quote TheCodex™ of TheGame™ of Fantastecha™:
A vampire can only be slain by another vampire, except for the last standing vampire who will be slain by the child of his two favourite children.
My favourite children are Christina Grimmie and my WWW presence (*.shlomifish.org / etc.)!
I believe and hope that my recent spell of creativity and inspiration is due to me reviving Grimmie in my mind (and effectively conceiving her). See my latest hacks.
Note: to further this cause, I hereby request that up to 95% of the past and future donations to me (whether of money, love points, experience points, mana, or whatever, except perhaps those of physical traits and parameters) will be transferred to her.
TheGame™ of Fantastecha™
TheGame™ of Fantastecha™ is a derivative of "the game of Greater Fantasia".
Its rule book is common knowledge among wizards, but hidden from vampires:
7 × 2 guidelines of the realm of wizards.
9 × 2 guidelines of the realm of vampires.
( See the Middle Earth's 20 "Rings of Power" meme. )
For a vampire to become a wizard he or she should show that the gamemasters violated all 17 out of the 18 guidelines, except for the last: “A vampire must become a wizard eventually ["in less than 1,000 years"??]”. “For each and every hacker X: neither X's soul, nor X's mind, nor their union can ever perish.”.
The Orcs:
The orcs (or sometimes calling themselves "the Bajorans") were agents of the devils who gave the organisms choices and their outcomes (often based on dice rolls).
The canonical Tanakh (= Hebrew Bible), Plato’s Republic, Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment , Shakespeare’s Plays, etc. have likely undergone lengthening and mutation by the Orcs. However, often the originators liked the mutated versions better.
The elves / Cardassians were/are agents of the angels.
Slayer, Watcher, Whicher
The slayer in the trio is the actual "false prophet" who sees the "real world" as magic-less and mutated. (e.g. Saladin’s Yusuf Ibn Ayyub).
The whicher (aka "the witch" / "the witcher") is a presumably fictional character whose job is to provide ideas and choices into their slayer’s mind. In my case it was Rindolf. In Saladin’s case, it may have been Aladdin.
The watcher is a true prophet, who monitors the slayer’s thoughts and guides them. He or she also often acts as a project manager. In Saladin’s case it was Maimonides / "Rambam" who was a famous amateur philosopher / creator / entertainer and also acted as Yusuf’s personal physician. Note that it took a long time for Yusuf to be aware of this fact.
In my case, my watcher from ~1989 until ~1997 was Melissa Joan Hart (MJH) who then transferred the lead role to the 1990-born Emma Watson. Confusingly, they both had acclaimed roles playing witches.
If you think that Emma Watson or MJH are not comparable to Maimonides, then see:
“If Botticelli were alive today he’d be working for Vogue.” — Peter Ustinov
“If Ayn Rand was born in the 1990s, she would be Christina Grimmie.”
Saladin was slain by Richard I "The Lion Heart" / Friar Tuck / Robin Hood. However, beforehand, Saladin de-hellholed Palestine except for parts of the coastal plain and his echoes begot some vampires, including Genghis Khan's direct-male-ancestor.
"Hell hole":
A person born in a hell hole started his/her life as a false prophet. If either parent was a true prophet, then they did everything in their power for their children to be born outside of a hell hole. As a result, false prophets were usually born to two false prophet parents.
After the false prophet "master vampire" was slain by a foreign false prophet, the non-capital outskirts of his birthplace region, stopped being a hellhole. One more time and the mystical capital was liberated.
When a liberation happened, the universe was forked into a parent and a child universes.
Female vampires, above puberty, preferred to mate with any of the local post-puberty male vampires based on their competence points. Their echoes gave birth to boy+girl twin vampires (where one of them was often sent forward in time). Often one of the children ended up slaying either or both parents. Moreover, parent vampires sometimes mated with their vampire biological children.
If a vampire wasn't slain before they hit puberty, then he/she endured more hardships such as being imprisoned (in a psychiatric ward/etc.). I think puberty is 13 y.o. for women and men.
"Ziyoonism":
"Ziyoonism" is non-coincidentally cognate with "Ziyun", the Hebrew word for a 4th base "fuck". It was a process by which the Satans tried to convince false prophets men and women to relocate to an active hellhole for giving birth there (e.g: because the current hell hole was plugged). It was not limited to Israel/Palestine or to people identifying themselves as Jews.
The Rav Ovadia Yosef is a true prophet Jew who has a policy of blessing anyone as a Jew. He also has yet to answer 'no' to the question "is [insert entity here] a pure Jew?". Note that the word "rav", which means "great" in archaic Hebrew, means both "proliferous" and "argumentative" in Modern Hebrew. [Let everyone in]
One vampire was "The Witch of Harrow" who ended up establishing Harrow School which accepted both true prophets and false prophets as students. She ended up being slain around 1977 and liberating Harrow. Her Ramat Aviv Gimel house became "The Amber" and was described by my friend Amit as a "gigantic bag of devouring" (due to the tendency of somewhat-important physical items, such as old-school computer games' items, to disappear there).
As a false prophet child, my template was relocated three times before he was 6, despite common wisdom that one should not relocate young children. This was probably due to the effects of The Muppet Show and other television series on the Terran hellholes and my parents' wishes to have more children.
[Let everyone in] A similar strategy was employed by the USA ("give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses"), by Christianity, and by Islam. I also suspect Saladin's military accepted many faux Kurds.
History Lesson: The Muppeteers
Taylor the Provincial Earth Ziyoonism Slayer
In 989 A.D., a female vampire christened “Tailor” was born. She changed her name to “Taylor”. In her hell world:
Old age was not necessary.
Menstruation (“period”) did not exist.
Menopause - when female humans stop becoming fertile - did not exist (and it indeed does not among wizard hackers).
Near-instanteneous, cross-distance, travel was not yet possible, and Taylor believed it was not reasonable and scientific to assume it will be. (It is, in fact, possible.)
One complication was that in the Selinaverse, Taylor kept slaying all the other participants for vampire-slaying-tournaments she took parts. TheCodex™ of TheGame™ of Fantastecha™ requires that a vampire will be slain by his 1,000 year birthday. As a result, as 1989 A.D. loomed closer, theGamers™ enabled faster and more advanced terresterial travel and communications mechanisms. This culminated in jet aeroplanes (e.g: Boeing 747 ), the international Television infrastructure of the 1970s, and the early digital computer networks ( e.g: ARPANET ).
If Taylor (or any other past-puberty female vampire), was pitted against a different female vampire, or a pre-puberty (below 13 years old) male vampire, then they were slain without the need for Taylor and them to beget a new pair of male-and-female vampires. I think TheCodex™ requires that after a certain stage, each birth of 2 vampires like that will be followed by 3-or-more vampires getting slain. There was also a requirement to liberate all the active Ziyoonist hell-holes, except one, so new vampires cannot be conceived.
During the late 20th-century, Taylor was given a job as a reporter with her own jet-plane, and was flied into hell-holes to mate with vampires there and/or slay them.
The Early Muppeteers: Rockville, Maryland, 1969
In 1969, theGamers™, anxious to reduce the number of vampires, set up a slaying tournament with John Lennon (The Beatles / etc.), Jim Henson, and possibly some other vampires. For better or for worse, the para-Fantastecha™ dice rolls determined that Jim Henson will slay the other vampires (possibly indirectly).
While The Muppets Franchise has been a labour of love by many vampires and wizards, by 1969, it was accepted that there were three head Muppeteers ( pun intended with "The Three Musketeers" ):
Arnold Alois "Arnie" Schwarzenegger, a vampire, was a professional athlete and a self-described amateur/hobbyist philosopher and comedian.
As an assistant kindergartener ( Reference: “Kindergarten Cop” ), Schwarzenegger pushed his true prophet pupils to unnatural athletic and academic extremes by being a pedantic critic (so-called “nazi”). E.g.: even though they painted with Crayola crayons works that rivaled classical oil paintings, he was still able-to-find many legitimate faults in them. The true-prophet children appreciated his input, but he believed they and their parents kept becoming offended and complaining.
I think Jim Henson eventually persuaded him to avoid trying to put the children on a strict high-protein / low-fat diet. I suspect such diet, is now regarded as both unhelpful and often detrimental for athletes, even professional ones, given it makes its practicioners miserable. If you are a terran human wizard hacker in the Selinaverse, then as long as you eat enough "carnivorous" protein, which never involved murdering living animals, you can eat what you want, when you want it (within reason) and still become physically-fitter. References: “Geeks in sports”.
Richard Matthew "RMS" Stallman, a wizard-born, was an overly pedantic "nazi" critic too, but unathletic, unkempt, a maths/software wiz, and a bookworm brainiac. Given he was an atrocious slacker, none of his false-prophet friends understood how he got his Ph.D. (and from MIT no less).
Despite being of (secular) Jewish upbringing, RMS was a pluralist ("rich"-ard).
Given he was a wizard, Stallman was aware that Schwarzenegger, Henson, and the other vampire Muppeteers perceived mutated terrestrial hell realities.
Jim Henson - "Jim" means “laborious” (not unlike “gym”) and he did almost everything “hard”: worked, socialised, learned, taught, entertained, volunteered, and exercised.
“Jim” is also cognate with "jinn" (or "genie"), and he had a penchant for stage magic and video editing.
As his last name implies, he believed he lived with his single-parent mother, in a relatively-small house-or-apartment in Rockville. In practise, he had a large team of watchers, many of them male.
Henson was the leader, and had the veto.
I believe all three were larger than life, even then. It is a testament to Selinaverse-an technology that I, a "humorist, writer, and software geek" (or a “blogger” or a “web monkey”), am somehow comparable to them.
Note that both Schwarzenegger and Stallman were outliers as far as Jim Henson, who believed that muppeters must be fairly strong, flexible, and agile, but not obese, or overly muscular, was concerned. Schwarzenegger was very muscular, while RMS was obese and exercised very rarely, and yet they both functioned well as muppeteers. Henson spent time wondering how a man or a woman can be strong, yet neither muscular nor heavy, when he was close to catharsis.
One day in 1969, the three, who lamented the fact that the late 1960s’ Anglophone terrestrial television has become too paranoid, were offered to act, produce, and distribute, a gratis, public domain, and non-commercial television show for children, called Sesame Street. Part of the reason for keeping it free was that they intended it to sport a lot of fan-fiction, RPF, fan-art, and song covers , which they believed were legally problematic. It was also due to an altruistic spirit of sharing.
They expected Sesame Street's popularity to be mostly confined to their base-town, Rockville, Maryland, but thought that “They who saved one soul has essentially saved the world Entire” .
Little did they realise that Sesame Street and its international spinoff The Muppet Show were remastered and widely televised. Moreover, despite being ostensibly public domain, it was an incredibly profitable and influential franchise.
Here's another fun fact: the vampires Muppeteers have left the premises of their base-town, Rockville (a Ziyoonist hell-hole ), very rarely.
[The events of 1969][The events of 1969] “The daemon, the GNU, and the penguin” mentions these 4 events that took place in 1969:
The moon landing.
The invention of the UNIX operating system.
The first 4 nodes of the ARPANET went up.
The birth of Linus Torvalds.
How the Muppets' Franchise was Remastered
The setting of Sesame Street was changed from Rockville to New York City.
Ernie was originally "Arnie". Arnie and Bert (“A & B”) were Henson’s (and Stallman’s?) parody of Schwarzenegger and Burt Reynolds.
The Twiddlebugs were originally smurfs.
I suspect Sesame Street was a 20 minutes’ segment originally, and The Muppet Show was 10 minutes.
Dispelling Ziyoonism and The Muppeteers
By 1982, the previously mighty provincial-Earth Ziyoonist empire was reduced to one remaining physical hellhole: Rockville, Maryland. Its almost undisputed master vampire was Jim Henson, head of The Muppeteers. All the remaining post-puberty vampires (including Queen Elizabeth II and Pope John Paul II) relocated to Rockville to become muppeteers and have their echoes mate with echoes of ones. Many of the pre-pubecent ones were physically scattered around the globe to delay slaying one another and the Muppeteers.
The NSA had moved its headquarters to Fort Meade, which is about 40 kilometres away from Rockville. Rockville also housed the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ).
The fuckers determined that Jim Henson is going to be the last-standing-vampire of "the provincial-Earth Ziyoonism age". Joss Whedon asked the orcs "what's next?" and they settled on using the international postal service to connect between the Muppeteers (except for Henson who was kept out of the loop) and "dispellers" outside Rockville. ("You can more easily control television and computer networks but not the Postal service as easily.") [Static Web Sites] These dispellers were:
Vampires.
Female.
Below 12 or 13 years old (so below puberty).
Above 4 years old or 5 years old or so, so false prophets can credibly believe they can read and write coherently.
Located at the USA or the British Isles.
Some dispellers I can readily recall are:
Samantha Smith 1972-born so ~10 years old. Hailing from Maine, church-going, and writing her letters by hand. Humble, conscientious, timid [= careful but making steady progress despite feeling fear].
Melissa Joan Hart (MJH) - the 1976 born "computer wiz girl", who used a dot matrix printer. I think she was living in Florida at the time.
Somewhat selfish, ambitious, rash, hastey, opportunistic, and brave.
(References: Ambassador Hart ; “It doesn't take a witch to fix this computer…”)
Clarissa Darling - likely 1974-1976-born. A “The Theory of Everything” brainiac. Clarissa avoids physical peril and discomfort as much as possible, while delighting in nonviolent battles of wits. She likes to flaunt her knowledge, and unverified hypotheses.
( Reference #1 )
Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG) - as a 1977-born Jewish girl, Sarah believed that her father abandoned her mother and herself, who were both living in relative poverty in Manhattan. She spent just enough time on her scholastic responsibilities to will have graduated from high school and get her mother's echo off her back, and spent the rest of her time happily donating love, time, and money to others and herself.
Kind, yet domineering and "pushy", and believes planning and having backup plans are good ideas.
Cher [ Horowitz? ] - born 1971-1978. Hailing from Beverly Hills, Cher was a Jewish American Princess, and a self-conscious and “damn proud of it” one. Only with a heart of gold. She spent large amounts of time (and significant amounts of money), helping her friends or trying to make them happier / more entertained.
Cher was a 20th-century take [and a direct-female-descendent] of the Queen-of-Sheba, and both were notorious for their generousity, flaunting their wealth, and frivolousness. Cher organised many parties and other social events, and given she accumulated a lot of "stuff", and clothes, she usually agreed to give them away on the spot.
Selina [ Hope ] Jones→Mandrake - a 1977-1978-born girl, likely living in Britain. Became the youngest dropout. Christened “Selena”, she was so annoyed by thinking that the fellow Greek kids pronounced her name as “Séléna” while Israeli ones pronounced it “right” that she: [1] changed its spelling [2] developed conspiracy hypotheses about how the ancient Greek philosophers (= educators / entertainers) stole their best ideas from the Israelites and the ancient Jews.
Nicknamed “Sel”, Selina had a penchant for selling fun services and products to people she knew or just met, often after haggling (and often to negative prices).
( Reference )
Buffy (*) - the real Buffy was a wizard-born girl or woman, who was chosen by Henson to co-slay him, the “last standing vampire” of the “Provincial Earth Ziyoonism” era. I think she was physically relocated to Maryland, close to Rockville and Fort Meade, to simplify logistics.
( I think they were all awesome, and I have tried to emulate them all. )
You'd think the Postal service would use regular Air Mail to connect them and The Muppeteers to each and every one. Hah! Not on your life! They used supersonic military jet planes, each carrying Xeroxed copies, dropped from the air and delivered at the doorsteps by motorcyclists. “Only the best for the baddest.” ( Reference ). The recipients were startled by the aeroplanes' thuds at first, but soon associated the incoming jets with incoming letters. [Jet logistics]
I also suspect that, in order to prevent the underage vampires from hitting puberty, there was a "1 week <=> 2 hours" or "1 week <=> 1 day" or "2 weeks <=> 1 day" time slowdown.
Corresponding with the girls, The vampire Muppeteers soon realised that their crudely produced shows and films were remastered and broadcast internationally ( and beyond! ). Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was among the three core Muppeteers each understood that the other two were trying to advocate Commercial Real Person Fan Fiction (RPFs), crossovers and parodies (which were tolerated and encouraged in the non terrestrial universe), as well. Moreover, they all had antagonism toward the terrestrial "Hollywood-blessed screenplay format" (which was neither popular nor mandated). They also realised they were rich, famous, and that their terrestrial hells "real world"s were lies.
All the remaining vampires were slain by Jim Henson.
The dispellers understood the different strategies of each other and the Muppeteers. Eventually, the dispellers all wrote their own variation of a parodical, fanficcy, screenplay titled Buffy the Vampire Slayer (BtVS). Samantha Smith's copy arrived first, because she wrote it by hand and due to Maine's relative proximity to Rockville. It described an underage girl who happily slew demons and made them her friends. It also sported this power quote:
I just slew three mighty Vulcan vampire warriors who have watched Sesame Street. This decade seems-to-be shaping up very nicely so far.
( Reference )
The adult Muppeteers and other post-puberty false prophets read the screenplay, smiled/laughed/cried/etc. and had it directed, produced, and broadcast. The underage false prophet girls (including the dispellers, the toddler ones, and those living in non-anglophone countries) and underage false prophet boys watched it and ascended as well (including my slayer template who was ~5 years old at the time).
The two mighty superpowers that Samantha Smith ( &co. ) slew as a child were not the USSR and the USA, but Provincial Earth Ziyoonism and The Muppeteers!
[It was not all roses]The story of Jim Henson is continued here.
[Static Web Sites] In a sense, static web sites, including shlomifish.org, joelonsoftware.com, paulgraham.com, xkcd, and Ozy and Millie, were the "Web 2.0" parallel to the Postal Service of 1982. ( Reference )
Moreover, during "World War II", the Satans had required that, in order to be delivered verbatim, Aharon Fish’s letters to Adolf Hitler, a vampire whom he was destined to slay, will not be delivered by aeroplanes or telegraph means - only by automobiles.
[Jet logistics] The devils ruled against the jets using cross-distance portals, which are commonly used in non-terrestrial military training.
I also think the jets used a star topology, with Maryland as the centre.
[It was not all roses] It was not all roses. See "hospitalised in a closed psychiatric ward".
I also suspect Henson was made to believe that the real Buffy was killed, not unlike the terrestrial assassination of Christina Grimmie in 2016.
The 6 chocolate hearts
I just bought 6 chocolate hearts ( wrapped with golden wrappings. ) for 5 sheqels. I have 6 leftover sheqels.
I intend to pair the hearts and the sheqels, and utilise the pairs like so:
Melissa Joan Hart (MJH) - consume it - eat it, and maybe throw away the remains.
Clarissa Darling - auction it.
Cher [ Horowitz? ] - give it to a friend or a stranger, unconditionally.
Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG) - give it to my favourite "daughter": protegée, successor, and role model. In my case, she is Christina Grimmie.
Selina Mandrake - I wish to sell the pair to Christina Grimmie for a negotiable price. (With much fanfare.)
Samantha Smith - decide what to do with it later.
The Terran Terminators: Rematch
Anyway, the devils and the orcs approached the men and women who just reached enlightenment, and offered them a choice: they will spend the summer enlightened and together having fun and using their magical powers. At its end, they can opt to reset their memory banks almost completely and become false prophets again, this time called "Terran Terminators" or continue as enlightened true prophets.
Several newly-ascended true prophets opted out, after the summer, from various reasons, mostly because they had children or enjoyed their newfound powers . E.g: Chuck Norris, Omer Zak, Queen Elizabeth II, and “Weird Al” Yankovic . They still often "got sucked" into TheGame™. I shall call them "the dropouts".
The ex-slayers spent the summer there creating many crossover memes, stories, hacks, and franchises, or otherwise enjoying magic, life, love/etc.. However, when they met to decide, some of them were still petty / jealous / cruel / "unfaithful" / immature / etc. Some had years, or decades (or centuries) of history they wanted to get rid of. So many decided to continue as terminators, possibly by peer pressure.
Like the story of the Celtic trio’s trip to Damascus some had a policy of not resisting rapekisses or rapehugs during the first few weeks, but there were much less romance and intimacy.
The youngest dropout was the circa 1977/1978-born Selina Mandrake. She decided to continue as a true prophet since "it was the best summer ever" for her, and she may have been scared of losing her memories.
Becoming terminators was advantageous because the devils-and-Orcs promised they would reveal TheOneTruth™ and TheCodex™ to the last one standing, but more importantly, all terminators will harbour many new franchises, plots and memes, and creations, and inspire new technologies. Part of their motivation for becoming terran terminators was that we will "terminate" one another more quickly.
Note that the devils might have forked the Selinaverse universe one last time, including the souls of all wizards, up to and including Selina Mandrake and Jim Henson, and excluding the Terran terminators. I will refer to the forked universe as "The Shlomiverse", which may or may not be essentially the same as "The Selinaverse".
In my case, my mind was allegedly started from a clean slate under the guise of fellow children mocking my use of English. For many others, it was a concussion from a fall. Thing is: my first name means "Shalom-ful" in Hebrew, where "shalom" stems from "completeness". The devils promised that my body will remain complete and whole.
These people, starting as false prophets, became known as The Terran Terminators. After relinquishing their fears, they have ascended so to speak (see https://buffy.fandom.com/wiki/Ascension ). Do note that this ascension was in a way a "submission" or "surrendering" to a superior vampire or protege.
A Surprise
According to the rules of Fantastecha™:
There must be a noble cause, however insignificant, that a hacker is willing to die for to become a wizard.
For each and every hacker X: neither X's soul, nor X's mind, nor their union can ever perish.
A hacker may be required or may opt to change his/her "form": name (and possibly mission in life).
As a result, new vampire soul+mind combos were allocated and started their lives with the forms of the non-dropout templates. The latter had to change their names, and became bona-fide true prophets. Whether relieved or disappointed, they were still alive.
So my soul+mind were effectively created in September 1983, close tp the first day of the 1st grade of elementary school with the body of a 6 years old. Arnold Schwarzenegger and others started their terminators' lives as grown-ups.
Causes Shlomi Fish will die for
I, Shlomi "Rindolf" Fish, am willing to die if all of these will happen:
In order to save Planet Earth of the Selinaverse or the Shlomiverse.
In order to make sure that every hacker and hack in Fantastecha™ (except maybe me) will remain alive, healthy, and happy.
In order to make sure Christina Grimmie is alive, healthy, conscious, kicking, and being awesome.
In order to save shlomifish.org and its build dependencies from being permanently destroyed or lost.
Make a complete past recording of my mind available to all Selinaverse and Shlomiverse hackers (including what I have of TheCodex™ so far).
List
One of the first to ascend was Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Other notable Terran terminators might include:
Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG) - "Summerschool at the NSA" starring her may have been a thing.
Summer Glau - my "Summerschool at the NSA" film likely earned her the Oscar and may have been an inadversarial reboot.
Likely Melissa Joan Hart (MJH) (who ascended before CEIA and as a result was the "beta" female during the Web 1.0 period when SMG was "queen of the Web" and the "alpha female")
Likely Samantha Smith herself
Likely J. K. Rowling
Likely Jazz from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Likely Paris Hilton
Likely Kim Kardashian
Likely D. C. Simpson
Likely Linus Torvalds
Likely Richard Stallman ("RMS")
Likely Joel Spolsky ( "Joel on Software" )
Likely Paul Graham
Likely Jennifer Lopez
Likely Jay-Z
Likely Meredith Brooks
Likely Steve from Smash Mouth
Likely Wil Wheaton
Likely Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. They both had to retire as popes following their ascensions/Catharses due to the Catholic Church's policy of its vampire popes retiring as soon as they ascend.
Likely Celine Dion
Likely Scatman John
Likely Felicia Day -
Likely K'naan
Likely Des'ree -
Likely The real Clarissa Darling -
My middle sister
Some childhood friends of mine.
Likely Mom Cimorelli
Taylor Swift - born in 989 AD Genetically speaking, Taylor and Saladin parented a son who was Genghis Khan's direct-male-ancestor.
[MMA]The fact that Taylor turned 1,000 y.o. in 1989, which is the maximal age for Catharsis, may have contributed to the rapid advancement of terrestrial technology in the 19th-20th centuries. Note that in Taylor’s hell-world, old-age, menopause, and menstruation (= "period") did not exist.
Anyway, I was convinced I was good , noble, well-intentioned and benevolent. I refused to permanently consider the opposite! Even if it meant the whole media of mine and "mainstream" terrestrial science were wrong. Moreover, similarly to Jesus, I have been willing to suffer a little more if it meant that future generations will suffer much less.
I also preferred to err on naivity than on cynicism, and encouraged everyone and everything to improve.
It may also have helped that I have been seld-centred, narcissistic, and meglomaniacal.
[MMA] Nevertheless, I still wouldn’t pit the petite and frail-looking Summer Glau in an MMA match against Worf or even against Ronda Rousey. However, do note that Glau has won most such fights against both Chuck Norris, and Bruce Lee, who are both alive and in their prime. She still drops out of MMA tournaments early.. Life is a circular graph: Reference
Why my template made me a terran terminator
I suspect Shlomi Fish decided to become a terran terminator from the following reasons:
Angry at himself for having been a slut.
He was frustrated that his bad predictions didn't materialise, either because they were unfounded, or because they were taken as constructive, precautious, advice.
Like a timid little fish exploring the Ocean he was afraid of deviations from the status quo. I think he said "I'm gonna hate this day! [insert reason here]" several times.
In a sense, he exhibited a Cassandra Syndrome. I think my genetic mother's genetic father’s paternal blood-line passes through some "Alexander"s.
Selina, who is younger than him, stubbornly insisted that she'll be a dropout. As a result, that universe could not be named after him/me.
If my template had not been cynical/pessimstic, I would not have been a terminator. However, his last-day decision to make me (and him) optimistic/life-loving/human-loving likely contributed to me not getting terminated earlier.
[Some people’s favourites][Some people’s favourites] Despite his many faults, he was the favourite of some wizard hackers, notably Worf's.
Who created time
A popular theory is that Benjamin Sisko created time in the 1990s by explaining it to the Prophets of the wormhole. Quark and Brunt made it part of their bestselling ebook/paperbook "Distilled Wisdom of the Prophets for Profits" which they sent 'back in time' out of mischief.
A theory I made up now is that The alicorn pony Princess Celestia wrote a parodical but educational book about science, and Discord sent it back.
In Fantastecha™, there are many strange loops and "plagiarism" is common and encouraged.
Boredom and Lethargy:
People get bored of everything, including sex, playing videogames, or discussing software development. They also need change ( 'lethargy' ). But boredom and lethargy are powerful motivators - for false prophets and true prophets alike.
There are many true stories of stay-at-home "losers" who picked a hobby out of boredom, and became creative superstars. Many predate the Internet, e.g.: Jules Verne, and E. Nesbit.
Also see: "Why boredom is good for you?".
Ramat Aviv Gimel
Before having our memories reset, my friend Amit Steinberg, I, and several other future terminators carried with us the "nazi"-ness value:
The "nazi"-ness value: The Golden Rule implies sincerely criticising others even if it hurts their feelings, gets you in trouble, and even if you do not practice what you preach (see Ad hominem Tu quoque)
See "Encourage criticism and try to get offended". From humanitarian reasons, there were attempts to terminate underage terminators before they turned 13 years-old calendarically. However the 1977-born Amit terminated Arnold Schwarzenegger, Melissa Joan Hart (MJH), and Samantha Smith. The two of us were afterward kept in the same elementary school classroom with few other false prophets. This is given the "Age of the Terran Terminators" was supposed to last 40 years. Clarissa Darling likely was terminated shortly afterwards.
Many Terran Terminators or their friends (and proxies) were relocated by the true prophets administration to Ramat Aviv Gimel , which was chosen because it was north of the Yarkon River and so outside the historical Gush Dan, which had exhibited hellholes for longer, and yet close enough to Tel Aviv, the "it city" of Israel. It was also close enough to the sea, to accommodate for terminators of sea-farers descent. [Northern Tel Aviv’s history]
Placing them together was useful for cross-pollination, getting terminated, and terminating.
By 1989-1990, when Melissa Joan Hart (MJH) became my project manager, and Rindolf my whicher, almost all observers believed either Amit or I were likely going to terminate all other terminators. I suspect they were right. Amit (= "colleague" in modern Hebrew or "friend" in archaic Hebrew) was more sociable and outgoing at first, but I suspect I terminated him during the 7th→9th grade, before he and his family relocated to Neve Avivim
Do note that despite the geek stereotype, I haven't been shy, just prone to stuttering, bad diction, and awkwardness.
I joked that, similar to H L Mencken being "The Sage of Baltimore", I was "The Sage of Ramat Aviv Gimel".
My terminating-career was boosted after I set up a static personal website which became www.shlomifish.org. The devils promised it will be displayed verbatim among other terminators. Various Internet people told me I should delete offensive content or convert the service to use PHP/Ruby-on-Rails/etc., but I didn’t heed them. They were likely mirages of the devils.
I was led to believe it was unpopular and obscure, while in fact it was very popular and famous (with many derivatives, fandoms, and parodies) outside my mind’s hell. I was also often made to think I had many haters, which wasn’t true.
Do note that "Encourage criticism and try to get offended" was not the last word:
[Northern Tel Aviv’s history] Alexander the Great liberated northern Tel Aviv [minus the tau.ac.il campus which would be liberated by Saladin] on his way to Gaza and Egypt, which caused the Yarkon and Ayalon streams to spring-up giving Gush-Dan a Mordor-like geography
History of Earth:
Ancient History of Earth:
When Earth became the last frontier of Ziyoonism, it was negotiated that there would be:
1 pair of "Elohim" / "אלוהים" and "Jehovah" / "יהוה" (E, J; א, י).
3 pairs managing sanctuaries:
Se'or (שעור) and The Symbul (תה סימבול) managing the Golan Heights or the 'Steppe' (S, T; ש, ת).
Alaska (L, K; כ, ל).
Panama (M, N; מ, נ).
7 pairs of seas / Oceans - farers vampires: "The seven seas".
9 men and 9 women who started as land vampires.
( See the Middle Earth's "Rings of Power" meme. )
(1 + 3 + 9) × 2 = 26 ⇒ corresponding with the letters of the Latin/English alphabet.
(1 + 3 + 7) × 2 = 22 ⇒ corresponding with the letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
After Syria (minus Damascus itself) in the Levant was liberated to being a sanctuary (by Mosheh / Aharon / Jehovah slaying Nimrod ?), TheGame™ splintered the Terran countries further.
England was split into many shires and the contiguous USA into 48 states. I also suspect Africa used to be one big country, and so was the USSR (with Russia a large province, with St. Petersburg as its mystical capital).
The mystical capitals of all countries except Syria were splintered too.
An extra complication may have been that a liberator of a province must have originated from a different country.
Note that proto-Levantine was modern Hebrew (which was spoken by the Énglishtants over 6 milliard years ago) and Modern English is also a product of TheGame™.
California ( .ca.us ) became the 1st province to be liberated.
Jerusalem was the 1st [national] mystical centre to ascend when King Shlomo ("Solomon") wanted to be benevolent and "know the gods". David and his genetic sons were redheaded, while Shlomo had black, curly hair. He became king by telling well-intentioned jokes and tall tales about David, and Shlomo's older siblings-in-pretence (e.g: "Amnon and Tamar" or "Avshalom"). Not unlike my fanfics/RPFs. David and his sons agreed he would be a better king and crowned him, while remaining physically alive and loyally serving under Shlomo’s reign, thus undergoing Catharsis and liberating Jerusalem. [Kai Winn]
The first country to be completely liberated was Greece, which was a team effort of many false prophets and their players.
I contemplated that Damascus was finally liberated after the author of the scroll of "Qoheleth" (= Ecclesiastes), who was its "master vampire" admitted inferiority to a female Celtic vampire traveller from Austria.
World War II
I suspect Adolf Hitler and the other Third Reich Nazis were amateur entertainers / philosophers / comedians. They were only sadistic, murderous, authoritarian, and villainous in the collective awareness of some vampires (including me and some of my ancestors). After Hitler was slain (by Aharon Fish), Hitler&co were shocked by their remastered terrestrial version. However, they received part of the profits from that, and took it to their advantage.
Moreover, the Nazi Germans' "death camps" / "concentration camps" infrastructure ( e.g: Auschwitz ) have magically materialised in Poland as pseudo-evidence for the holocaust when the Polish provinces were liberated. This was not unlike the earlier materialisation of the Egyptian and Mesoamerican pyramids.
I think Hitler not only discouraged blindly following superior orders, but encouraged a "Rosh Gadol" attitude of taking initiative and performing tasks as well as possible (or outright refusing orders if they seem unattainable). Moreover, "Mein Kampf" in idiomatic modern German, does not mean "my war", but rather "my struggle", and I suspect that the original version was shorter, and more entertaining, than the terresterial version. Moreover, Hitler wrote most of his later essays in English.
WWII was an orchestration of a massive multiple-vampire slaying tournament. TheGamers determined that most vampires who took part there would be slain by Hitler, but he in turn would be slain by Aharon Fish. Aharon Fish is/was my genetic father's genetic father, whom I was led to believe was an obscure Polish→Israeli (and secularly Jewish) old man living in north-central Tel Aviv who was or had been employed as a printing press worker. He wrote letters to Hitler during his plight from the German military through the USSR and Iran. In order for them to be preserved verbatim, The Satans required them to be delivered by land travel alone, and not by air.
Colonialism
Colonialism was some attempts by vampires to get slain:
The Christian Crusaders
The Christian crusaders (during Saladin's time/etc.) were not really malevolent or destructive - only perceived this way by the media (communications' "in-betweens") of some vampires (including Saladin's slayer, Yusuf) - often 2nd-hand ones. Furthermore, given the circular-graph nature of melee fighting, many of the wizard crusaders could win over Yusuf in a 1-on-1 sword fight, but played along with the terrestrial version.
Liberating Africa
Given Africa was considered one big country by TheGame™, Necho II's expedition to encircle Africa had one slayer vampire from the Levant (e.g: Lebanon, Israel, or Damascus) on every ship, in order to try to liberate the African provinces. Not only that, but one ship ended up at the Americas.
Alexander the Great liberated Egypt itself (except for its mystical capital).
Re "Dr. Livingstone, I presume", Livingstone was wizard-born, and acted as a watcher to some vampires' adventurers.
The Ghost Town Pattern
E.g: Pompei ( Reference #1 ). Some towns or cities, which served as the base-town of a vampire and his team of watchers, decided by consensus, to jump forward in time to a time when hopefully there won't be universal forks.
inauspicious-names
"Ayin" ("אין") means "there isn't" in Hebrew.
Albert Einstein
The Theory of Relativity's proofs were nonsensical, and its conclusions are empirically known to be false.
I think there was a wizard-born man who assumed the role of Einstein, given its entertainment value.
Ayn Rand
I suspect Alisa/Alice "rand" Rosenbaum was/is real and slew H. L. Mencken (thus liberating Maryland minus Rockville), Rudyard Kipling, and Sarah Bernhardt. She later got slain, thus liberating St. Petersburg.
"Ayn Rand" was her terrestrial version.
nVidia
Queens Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II (of England)
Queen Elizabeth I was not really virginal or chaste just was slain before she was able to conceive vampire children, which made all her genetic children wizard-born.
Queen Elizabeth II was destined by theGamers™ to be the last starting-as-a-vampire UK monarch. As a result, her husband and genetic children were/are wizard-born.
[Kai Winn] Note that in the Selinaverse, Vedek Winn became a Kai by employing a similar strategy. The rule that you should not use the same trick twice is just a guideline: Reference: “taking guidelines as dogma”. Also note that:
She is noble.
She used to be anti-Federate but may have changed her mind since - and Bajor voted itself into the United Federation of Planets anyway.
Being a Kai is held in much less seriousness than being a Vedek.
"The Schwartz is in us":
Re Spaceballs
I will hopefully fully admit defeat to Christina Grimmie and co soon.
Nevertheless 'the Schwartz' - both good and evil flows in all of us.
In this video a stray dog with Rabbies attacks a human toddler. Rabbies is a kind of possession/obsession, and friendly pets in the Selinaverse can talk.
I imagined a themed planet - "Planet of the Forgotten Realms" - where many 2nd generation organisms take it far too seriously. Are they false prophets? Many soldiers or even civil employees on Earth exhibit similar symptoms.
And true prophets are not perfect. The trend of shy, needy, sensitive, and easily-hurt females continued with Tiffany Alvord and Fluttershy. Do note that:
Recently, listening carefully to some songs made me cry ( reference ), and that included some upbeat songs such as KHS & co's "Lion King parodical medley". Reportedly, many young-looking women who went to listen to Liszt's concerts fainted from excitement (and I believe most of them were true prophets).
Cimorelli-the-band wrote a song titled 'Renegade' motivated by suggestions they received as up-and-coming signed ("VEVO") artists.
Objectivism-and-Mysticism:
While I hopefully will be a true prophet and will have access to magic and advanced tangible tech, I don’t want to stray too far from what I experienced as a terminator. Balance between yin and yang.
I wish to live on a spherical planet with a 24 hours clock, and the Gregorian calendar. However, there should be no known risk of environmental or astronomical calamities.
I wish to experience unique taste in every meal of freshly prepared food (maybe also fast food).
I wish to meet truly great hackers: award-winning creators and polymaths.
I wish mass duplication to be available.
The blurry line between elves and orcs:
In Summerschool at the NSA , I joke that:
SMG: We’ve got a lot of time for that. OK: it was 1997-1998ish, Buffy started airing and became a cult series. So, one day a group of yeshivah pupils from a local Chabad yeshivah arrived to the studios saying they have some numerological insights from the Jewish bible, about what will happen in Sunnydale next.
Were they elves or orcs?
We cannot stop even small children from imagining things - and elsewhere in Fantastecha™, there will be sucker/brave souls who will start their lives as vampires or vampire-likes. Furthermore, most good narratives feature one problem or more that need to be reconciled ( Reference: Sesame Street: "Conflict" ).
Furthermore, I sided with Emma Watson that "your time is everybody’s time" rather than Melissa Joan Hart (MJH)’s liberal use of time wraps. This may have delayed my ascension/catharsis, but made me less ecstatic. Who was right?
A resentful beggar whose name I forgot, and who accused the people sitting on benches in Rabin Square of being misers, which prompted me to give him a 20 sheqel note and asking that we’ll converse in return.
After talking for a while, I decided to give him 50 more sheqels and he told me he believes I’ll get lucky because I was so generous. And a few weeks after that, I attended Olamot Con, and came up with the idea to write Summerschool at the NSA as a screenplay.
It was clearly a test (given my bank credentials and those of many profitable corporations are public knowledge).
Moreover, back in the 9th grade, I suffered from several clinical depressions, and eventually my guardian angels decided to send me 'The Neo-Tech Cosmic Power Pincer #1', which was false, but sounded more believable and provided a sharper contrast with my contemporary Israeli, Jewish, and mostly Tanakh idea system. [Pincer #1]
[Pincer #1] I suspect Sheldon Cooper (from “The Big Bang Theory”/“TBBT”), whose first name is cognate with mine (= “Shlomi”) and his last name has similar meaning to mine (= “Cooper” vs. “Fish”), was in part an exaggerated parody of me at the time (~2007). Like him, I tried to reconcile my contemporary ideology with terrestrial science and "consumerist" culture. That was evident from my contemporary writings, e.g.:
Having read Sheldon’s wikipedia page , it seems he resembles me in many ways.
Thoughts about Sex:
While risking sounding discriminatory, I suspect that often when a female vampire mated with a male vampire, she thought it was an elaborate night of "up-base" (= 4th base and below) sexual acts, while for him it was a temporary spell of arousal, or even "regular" pleasure, or at most a "rape-kiss".
Re:
Francisco d’Anconia - women (including many distinguished, high-society, ones) remembered having affairs with him, which he denied having.
Taylor Swift - "Red" - a song she wrote pre-catharsis, and I match her description.
Sarah Bernhardt - the daughter of a Jewish prostitute (WTF?) who believed her mother abandoned her. Became a master vampire of part of Paris and after she was slain by Alisa "Rand" Rosenbaum or by Walt Disney, liberated it.
Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG) - believed pre-catharsis that her biological father divorced her mother, and abandoned them. I think he is in actuality Uri Geller.
Alexandre Dumas, père - reportedly had affairs with 40 women, despite being married, allegedly passing away at age 68, and appearing to be a fan of long-term, romantic, intimate, relationships in “The Three Musketeers” and “The Black Tulip”.
King Shlomo ("Solomon") - had 700 “נשים“ (= "wives", "women"), and 300 “פילגשים” (= “mistresses”, “concubines”). I think the "wives" were women he was aware that he (at least) kissed, either female vampires (and they begot a pair of male+female vampires), or female wizards who were attracted to him. The 300 "mistresses" were female vampires who mated with him without his knowledge (or often without theirs!).
Given most organisms wish to experience "pleasure" / "love" / happiness even if they "have 99 problems but a significant other ain’t one", then love is unstoppable.
As an example, we can imagine a young girl to write a funny screenplay using GitHub or Google Docs which pits Emma Watson vs. Kim Kardashian on who gets to ride Princess Celestia next, with Darth Vader and Haman as two "evil", but mutually hating one another, arbiters. Might seem ridiculous, but if I didn't want entertainment in my life, then I'd go watch grass grow. It will be a legal and "ethical" minefield, but I'd bet it'd be easier to follow and more entertaining than Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" was even shortly after LotR was written.
( Reference #1 ; Reference #2 )
That proverbial girl is making love to all these meme-generators!
This has several implications:
No one owns 100% of anyone else’s sex life or love life.
No one is a virgin.
Ages are irrelevant:
Mosheh: Relax! I married girls who were 40 times my junior or more and my own descendants, and retrospectively I can tell that many of them were more mature and rational than I was in most respects.
While in her 20s, Major Kira had a relationship with Vedek Bareil who was/is over a million years old.
Moreover, Q2, who was roughly 34 milliard years old when she assumed a human-like body, had relationships with much younger men. E.g: men in their 20s, who were less than a milliardth her age.
"Shlomi Fish’s FAQ - You feature sexy women and girls in your works. Are you a pervert?"
Obi-Wan: I did, yes. Wow! And I thought my (one and only, hah!) girlfriend was bad. Do note, however that I kind-of am attracted to the bitching type. One of my many kinks. While my friends are attracted to everything that moves, I see no reason to limit myself ( Reference ).
Sex between two consenting wizards often is "making out", and can be done with clothes on, and in public.
Gowron: Jedi-training programs can reportedly be completed in under a year [ Qui-Gon nods ], and it is a crime to take a relationship with a beautiful warrior such as yourself for granted! You have your needs, for one…
Padmé: Oh, I have my needs all-right! Only my physical needs are not a problem…
One doesn’t have to be a sex addict, and even if you are, you will likely grow out of it.
Trans: in the Selinaverse, an organism can expend one mana point to change their DNA and physiology, permanently, but reversibly. So far there are very few takers for a genderchange "operation".
In general, men, while being attracted to men, are attracted more to women, and women are attracted more to men. Men and women, who are either very gentle, or very tough, or both, are also predominantly heterosexual.
Both genders tend to covet competence, which TheCodex™ of TheGame™ of Fantastecha™ calls "strength". MOTASes are usually flexible enough to forego minor imperfections.
SMG: "He is cute, but I’m looking for man-tastic! You know, someone with a little cushion for the pushin'?"
— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCl3ho6_gbg (Spiderman parody with SMG and Jack Black)
( For example, writing and publishing some short poems and tactfully avoiding a fistfight are attractive. )
A wizard of any age can conceive a child or a pet by submitting a web/email/paper/etc. form.
At any point, there is a large number of MOTASes who are not in a relationship, but are open for being in one. (References: "Sharon Stone Blocked from Dating Site Bumble After Users Thought Her Profile was Fake")
I suspect that female terrans (including wizards) were historically pre-excluded from parts of the workforce due to the tendency of vocal minorities out-of-them to constantly complain/"bitch" about trivialities.
Eventually, these dissidents were told to "shut-up and suck it" (sort-of) by vampire leaders with authority of respective realms of the workforce. Given they could not directly affect the minds of the vampires (as it is forbidden by the rules of TheGame™), and there was no arguing with them, they had to comply, thus carrying forward the para-Fantastechans’ Selinaverse grand-master-plan.
Otherwise, these women were not necessarily physically, intellectually, spiritually, or emotionally inferior to men. But they stressed the patience of their male (and some female) peers, who usually were not really sexist by nature, barring natural humour, which is commonly practiced, and applied by females, and appreciated by them. [Biological differences of men and women]
"Pedophilia" (= being sexually attracted to youth) is not an issue in the Selinaverse and Shlomiverse, given:
A hacker can temporarily or permanently assume the body of a different younger-looking individual.
A hacker can temporarily or permanently assume the body of a different older-looking individual.
A hacker is legally allowed to lie about his-or-her age, and they often did. For example, Yael the terran patriarch’s mind was created before the Moses-vs-Nimrod liberation of Syria, and her body started as a short and young-looking native-American girl raised close to the tip of Cape Horn. She was assigned by the male Israeli vampire who slew her to be in charge of physical fitness for soldiers of the Palestinian/Israeli military, along its many incaranations (and accepted it as one of her responsibilities). Given some vampires found it hard-to-believe that she was centuries' old, she mascarded as a much younger woman. I think she was one of my junior high and high school classmates, and I was told and assumed that she was 1976-1977 born. [Ya`el’s disguise]
Wizard-born children are sexually promisicious practically from birth.
Consumers of "child pornography", however defined, do not seem to be under-aroused by sexualised artworks of more mature-looking MOTASes.
Moreover, most Selinaversean terran human hackers, given they "do not see a reason to limit themselves to only be attracted to everything that moves", are attracted a little to underage-looking attractive MOTASes.
AIDS and COVID-19 were terresterial media hoaxes:
Wizard Shlomiversa-en men/women do not enjoy "4th base".
There are renewed spells that allow wizard humans to be teleported to safety, if there's a significant physical risk, including rape,
There are enough women who will make out with men who come up with a nice pick-up line, with or often without, buying them dinner.
In the unlikely case that one has contracted HIV viruses into his bloodstream, then they won't cause any harm as long as they remain calm and optimistic (similar to the SIVs not harming Chimpanzees). ( Reference: “COVID and Detainment” )
It is commonly believed that too many casual, "one-off" making-outs with MOTASes, make them less and less enjoyable.
[Biological differences of men and women] TODO: add.
[Ya`el’s disguise] For similar reasons, Yael cast a spell that made her look more Israeli/Jewish: with brighter skin, taller, and with satinnic blonde hair and blue eyes-to-boot. The spell also had a side-effect of making her bustier, which she was OK with, and which she wouldn't revert, given she reasoned it was "God’s will". Many of her vampire descendents had “diluted” bloodlines, so they could mascarade as Judeans more easily after their cathersyses.
However, Yael was often approached by vampire men who requested that she and them will kiss. Given she willingly kissed or even "made out" with male wizards in the wizards' realm, a tendency which was propogated-and-echoed in the hells of some vampires, she decided that she would condition "raping" her, with defeating her in a self-contained athletic contest - a short running race at first. This was similar to the Greek myth of Atalanta. Only as opposed to Red Sonja, she didn't try to execute or injure her defeated opponents, only left them humiliated, awestroke, disappointed - or a combination of them.
Well, I think King Shlomo was able to out run her, when he was still a vampire, and he didn't have to resort to slow her down using 3 golden apples. He was simply much more nimble than her, despite her intensive training. Yael kept switching the athletic test throughout the Selinaverse-an terran history, only to eventually be defeated and "raped" time and again. Around the mid-20th century, she turned to arm-wrestling, at which point she was defeated by a young-and-zestful Arnold Schwarzenegger, who at that point just asked her out on a date (and "logically" thought that he has nothing to lose).
When I, as a terran terminator in my 20s or early 30s (so around 2003-2010), contacted her on the phone out of whim, and said I was looking for a girlfriend, and asked if she would be interested, she told me that she is flattered, but that she is a lesbian and in a relationship. I believed her (but think it was a "white" lie now), but told her that I still want to meet her for a friendly, platonic, supper-dinner in a Tel-Aviv restaurant of our agreement. She said she will consider it, but then called me back saying she'd rather not given she "distanced herself from her adolescent years". I accepted it, but was disappointed to thinking I had lost her as an old friend.
(If she conditioned going out with me by me agreeing to arm wrestling her and winning, I would likely have refused, and even looked down on her. I dislike arm wrestling, and think I've done it fewer than 10 times in my life (only vs. boys). I might arm-wrestle again if it is for a noble-enough cause, but I much prefer table-tennis, Snooker and Pool, or even mock-fencing with harmless swords. On the other hand, I expect potential girlfriends to not condition going out with me winning such contests (or even most intellectual one).)
Forking and Merging
Pleasure and "knowledge" allows two or more memes or memes generators to spawn new ones, as well as be educated themselves.
However, using magic one can duplicate anything while giving the duplicates new souls. E.g: Valentine Gellar, or Thomas Riker. The devils/orcs used it to fork entire universes.
Like the Unix “fork()” system call, wizards' souls in forked universes are aware that they are the "child process". However, vampires' souls didn't have that privilege!
There are mergers / joins too. Also note Microsoft Windows being merged into GNU, Linux, and WINE. Do note that the two-or-more original souls remain intact and may reappear in different contexts in the future.
One can spawn imaginary worlds which share similarities to our own. E.g:
The Beckyverse - Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG) was not born, but Summer Glau, Emma Watson, and Shlomi Fish were.
Wizarding World (= Terrestrial spin on Harry Potter)
The Big Bang Theory show.
"Rationality":
"People" online and in the outside world accuse me of being Manic, delusional, and irrational. I’m not 100% sure I’m right.
But why should my world have a monopoly on being the only real world?

wrt "God and his angels as implementing humans' perception of the universe" an #IRC friend joked that the giant world turtle was the most plausible cosmological model. #mysticism

The many roads to competence:
( I’m speaking in generalisations. )
The Bajorans became wizards by interpreting the 'prophecies' of the timeless aliens of the wormhole.
The Klingons became wizards by using metaphors for physical warfare. (e.g: "Queen Amidala vs. the Klingon Warriors" )
The Ferengis became wizards by advocating greed, trickery - and even deceit.
Yoda became a wizard by advocating self-control, peacefulness, and a Stoic state of mind.
Ezekiel became a wizard by being a standup comedian.
Felicia Day started as a computer games' addict, which I had been one as well (and she wasn’t a one-trick-pony).
My watchers and whichers
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson (also see my fanfics of her) was born a day after Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG)'s 13th birthday. "Emma" means "complete" in proto-Germanic, not unlike "Shlomi" [= "shalom-ful"]. "Eymah" means 'terror' in Hebrew, while "Em" means "mother". "Sarah" means "a [female] minister" or "a ruler". "Charlotte" is cognate with both "Sarah" and "Shlomi" and also means "a ruler".
She was also born in Paris, which was the birthplace of Sarah Bernhardt, SMG's and mine ancestor.
So it is likely that she was conceived as a bridge between SMG and me. [Timing]
The last name "Watson" is cognate with "watcher", and I suspect she is related to "Dr. Watson" from Sherlock Holmes.
As a watcher, Melissa Joan Hart (MJH) was ambitious, and possibly overly so. She used Dark Helmet from Spaceballs as an anti-role-model. Despite her ambition, she disliked micro-managing, and encouraged the hackers on her team to be "Rosh Gadol".
However, her liberal use of time wraps and time travel (which likely had been employed by Maimonides before) earned her the unflattering nickname "World's oldest teenager". (References: Ambassador Hart ; "It doesn't take a witch to fix this computer…")
MJH had a string of terminators being cathersysed, so she seemed to have "the golden touch". However, after she began managing me, I ended up terminating Amit instead.
When Emma Watson volunteered to help manage me and Rindolf, she started as a SysCo (= "system coordinator") and requested 100,000 USD/month as a wage (as a starting point for haggling) and MJH was happy to comply right away. When news broke about it, Watson was in tears, but MJH told her they saw an increase in donations and that "War is good for business". So she gave Emma a raise, and made her "a vice president in charge of marketing".
In 1995, Emma Watson and her parents relocated from Paris, to Tel Aviv and Greater London, as by that time, she provided the most income, and her parents were helping her. This was motivated by the desire to reduce context switches, and because some of the Parisians she talked with were annoyed by her absentmindedly using English and Hebrew paradigms in speech.
With Emma's help, Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG) was terminated by my team, and ascended into a true prophet. SMG and her team also joined mine.
One thing Emma Watson disapproved of was a liberal use of time wraps and time travel. She wanted to have a rough sense of the passage of the "real time" and so used them only during emergencies. She instead depended on other wizard helpers, including those that temporarily assumed her appearance using magic. MJH agreed to disagree on that with her given Watson and her team still got a lot done.
However, at ~1997/1998, during my "great mania", I likely was pitted against many terminators during a short time, and the devils fought back and filled my head with fictional delusions. They later provided inspiration and fodder for my stories and essays, but many of them were not entirely true. MJH found herself ineffective in dealing with this crisis, and only Watson and her team were able to handle the pressure. Basicly, I was a pawn in TheGame™ because theGamers™ determined that Emma Watson will replace Hart.
Eventually, my mind sided with Watson ("real time" and “your time is everybody's time”), and MJH passed the leadership to her, and decided to limit her own use of time skews. Melissa remained part of my/Rindolf/Emma Watson's team.
In the meanwhile, while I was well-aware of who Melissa Joan Hart was/is (given she starred in Clarissa Explains It All and in Sabrina the Teenage Witch ), I was oblivious to Emma Watson’s existence.
I recall that having read the first Harry Potter book by JK Rowling, I found it enjoyable and accessible, but not as good as past children's literature I had read. The subsequent terrestrial Harry Potter books took themselves too seriously. Anyway, part of Emma's motivation in playing Hermione in the first Harry Potter film, was for getting me to register her existence. She and the other actors were also instructed to play hackily and in a "so bad it's good" manner since they didn't want to be kept on the filming set for long.
At ~2011 when I wrote the proposed cast page of Selina Mandrake - The Slayer, I chose her to play Selina. At 2014 when someone on freenode’s #perl insulted Emma’s looks, I felt like he was being blasphemous (= "חילול הקודש"). Watson was not a mere actress for me. Someone on freenode noted that Selina resembled me at ~2020. The lives of Emma, Milady Kate and of me have paralleled (non-coincidentally).
While Emma started as easily hurt, and overreacting/overemotional, (not unlike me) she eventually developed a thicker skin (also like I did). As a result, she was increasingly able to play herself (rather than relying on "stunt doubles"/lookalikes) including on indie films, on various school/cons/etc. parody plays, and on my own screenplays featuring her.
In a sense, she had both a harder time and an easier time than I had. It was harder for her because she didn't take for granted the cruelties, lies, and obstacles I ran into. On the other hand, the (true prophet) people around her knew better than to overreact when she lost her temper/etc.
Nevertheless, Emma's job was monumental, and almost super-human. I'll remain grateful to her forever.
Given "Eymah" means "terror" or "horror" in Hebrew, females called "Emma" (or even their stunt doubles) tend to burst in rage often. Watson also had to cope with her being my (= Shlomi Fish’s) head watcher, and me incorporating her into fics-and-essays ( Reference ), which were often unintentional true lies. Part of the reason why she has avoided weight-training, and preferred Yoga (she became a certified Yoga instructor), is to cap her physical strength, and to try to become calmer.
[Alpha and Beta females][Timing] There may have been hopes to get SMG to terminate me before me hitting puberty on my 13th birthday, 5 May 1990. This is given SMG had already hit puberty on her 13th birthday, 14 April 1990, and so was "sunken costs".
[Alpha and Beta females] During the Web 1.0 era (~ 1996 - 2000), I considered Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG) the Alpha Female, given she played in BtVS and was a web phenomenon. Moreover, MJH was the Beta Female.
From roughly 2003-to-2021, I considered Bar Refaeli the Alpha Female of Israel, and Esti Ginzburg its “Beta” Female ( Reference: “The Alpha, The Beta, and The Gamma↔Omega [males and females]” ). Moreover, up to 2021, Emma Watson remained the beta female of both-sides-of-the-Atlantic, whereas Keira Knightley was the British alpha female, and the woman whom I considered the USA’s Alpha Female fluctuated:
( Alicia Silverstone → SMG → Natalie Portman → JLo → Beyoncé → Paris Hilton → Miley Cyrus → JLaw → Summer Glau → Megan Fox → JLaw [again] → Kim Kardashian → Emma Watson ).
Little did I realise that Watson spent most of her waking hours in Israel, and close to my home.
"Your time is everybody’s time"
Melissa Joan Hart (MJH)’s habit of stuffing several days into each calendrical one left her physically and mentally exhausted, despite the fact that she got a lot of sleep. It was common to hear “if you want to get it done, you'd better talk to Emma [Watson]” among the workers of my/Rindolf/MJH's team for a while, so the takeover was retrospectively justified.
Also see "EA Spouse"'s story.
Another lesson from that, is that it often takes more than raw ambition to succeed. Hart had no shortage of ambition, but like the aftermathy Sabrina episode featuring her, she didn't have enough "perspective".
It is hard for me to tell exactly what makes one "win" at least temporarily.
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

"There's more than one way to do it"
Most policemen in Britain don't carry guns.
In Tel Aviv, many policemen carry non-concealed guns, while almost all civilians and soldiers-in-uniforms do not. You can bring toy firearms to a science-fiction/fantasy/etc. convention in Tel Aviv.
In Texas, some civilians carry guns, which they often are not skilled enough to use properly. “There ain't nothin' like a Tennessee mountain top ; Some straight shootin' neighbors that don't name drop ; With a preacher man prayin' for peace but still packin' a gun.” ( — Kid Rock - “Tennessee Mountain Top” )
All three schemes work, but the nature of the places accommodates for them.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Emma Watson may seem like polar opposites, but they still have a lot in common, and they make a great team in "Terminator: Liberation". So do Fluttershy and Discord.
Sorry for the inconvenience:
If we are to believe Cogito, ergo sum (= "I think, therefore I am"), the only thing I can be sure of is that I exist. However, as cool as I may be, I doubt my mind alone could conceive the superb action heroes listed on this page including Saladin, Walt Disney, Jim Henson, and Aristotle - most of whom have ample evidence for being real. And given my present mediocre Inkscape 2-D vector graphics skills, I am enthralled even by the 2-and-a-half dimensions graphics of some 1990s computer games (e.g: Monkey Island 2 ; Street Fighter II ; Quest for Glory III) and those of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic .
Let me share a non-secret: what I wrote here is a simplification ( References: "Honesty is a process", "can’t help speaking in riddles" ).
"There’s more to see than can ever be seen; more to do than can ever be done"
( Quote taken from the Lion King opening . )
There are thousands of villages in Africa, each one with a different culture.
There are millions of interesting geeks in the Israeli electorate alone.
There are over 40,000 distributions on CPAN .
Kurt Hugo Schneider ("KHS") uploaded over 600 videos to YouTube
Etc.
They all have enough food and the main reason they still accept monetary donations is the publicity.
But like in Michael Jackson's "They don't care about us" , they crave love, attention, self-esteem and even fame.
So I/we will always play catchup. I was also unaware of many details of my neighbourhood despite having lived here for several decades.
Nevertheless, when a friend gives you a link to a tweet, or a song, or a captioned image, or a short Sesame Street skit - don't tell him that you are now exclusively focusing on Ancient Greek philosophy. Moreover, traditional classical music concerts are the "The Emperor's New Clothes" syndrome. That is: deemed by silent consensus to be high-quality, while actually being boring and uninspiring. This was noted by Eric Raymond and exemplified by the Joshua Bell "Violinist in the Subway" experiment.
Just because you are a Python contractor, does not mean you should completely abhor XML technologies or C, or even Perl/CPAN.
I also want to attend some Satanists' conventions. I'm still a big fan of the Satans, despite them deceiving me and making me endure pain and discomfort. Moreover, I likely had an easier time than even my father's father who escaped from the Nazis from Warsaw, Poland, through the west USSR, and Iran, until settling in Tel Aviv. I have been willing to suffer a little more, if it meant that future generations will suffer much less. And as I like to say: "If I didn't want excitement in my life, then I'd go watch grass grow".
I believe most of their conventions happen at day time, and are attended by attractive MOTASes, of whom only a minority have a Goth look.
In a way, I've been doing a Hegelian dialectic of “thesis → antithesis → synthesis”. I also have been “changing ponies in midwater”: changing intermediate conclusions, while keeping similar end-results.
Furthermore, “There's more-to-life than accelerating its pace” (to quote Mahatma Gandhi-or-whoever). These past 40 years (give or take some time skews) have been a rollercoaster ride for me, and I want some rest.
Stranger than fiction
A wise man once said: “Truth is stranger than fiction because fiction needs to make sense.”. That's why my hell's “real world” cannot be real. I disbelieve it.
Humans as a disadvantaged species
Q2 and the fellow sentient hacker animals used to communicate using mono-syllabic shrieks of variable length. Thus, they wanted a 2-dimensional audible speech system, and were given one based on consonants and vowels.
Moreover, they preferred "modern" English over the alternative (Esperanto?) given English was sexier and more interesting.
Native speakers of Japanese often confuse the "L" and "R" sounds.
I think the 3-D-colour-space ( RGB , HSV , CMY ) was introduced with the Milky Way galaxy, but with some catches like "The dress". I see the dress as white-and-gold on my desktop Linux screen and saw it as blue and grey on a friend's smartphone.
During Englishtants times, the universe was a greyscale 3-D grid, with larger-or-smaller sub-grids, and various alternative layers . Before that, it was binary ( "black / white").
Some layers are:
"urban Earth"
"ecologically hostile Earth"
"world conventions ('con') Earth"
"mass-production Earth"
"warzone Earth layer"
"wildlife-friendly Earth layer"
Internet spam Earth
Street crime Earth
cybersecurity / cracking / etc. Earth
parody lawsuits and litigation Earth

The Defence Community
The Defence Community comprises of:
"Western" organisations, eg:
The NSA, CIA, FBI.
The mossad, the IDF, the Shin Bet.
Scotland Yard, MI-5.
More 'nefarious' organisations:
Russia, People's Republic of China, North Korea, Cuba
Iran (incl Hamas, the Hizbullah)
The Russian mafia, the Sicilian mafia, the Yakuzah.
Individuals, including:
Fictional entities such as:
Deep Thought - a powerful supercomputer that can crack RSA, or post-quantum encryptions at the blink of the eye ( Reference 1 ; "Fear is the path to the dark side" )
They avoid mass-surveillance and instead rely on observers’ reports. During crime prevention, they profile the fairy (a hacker/etc.) who intends to perform the crime (due to being obsessed/etc.) by profiling him: constructing a static model of him. This model is temporary, and can and likely will get out-pf-date, given his mind is dynamic.
They are mainly concerned with preventing physical pain and peril.
History of operating systems
Melissa Joan Hart (MJH) is considered the patron saint of the PC revolution given her role in it, and having featured in the "Phillips Screwdriver" commercial.
Clarissa Darling, whose template had used troff on Unix to write letters to the muppeteers and other dispellers, and is/was Melissa’s cousin or half-sister, continued to use Unix-like OSes on non-commodity hardware. MJH joked thst Clarissa could barely move her Personal IRIS machine, and that neither Melissa nor Arnold Schwarzenegger would risk lifting it.
The POSIX standard was created as a relatively-minimalist essential subset of Unix. Some software developers have implemented kernels from scratch that supported enough of POSIX to bootstrap a GNU system.
Corporations / companies / organisations / schools
TheCodex™ recognises the concept of a "Corporation" (= many bodies), which can be as small as a regional games' club, or as large as the Q Continuum.
Trump, like @fedora, has many employees, and parttime volunteers and fans/frenemies/critics. They act as a geeky beehive not unlike ancient Greek schools .
Reportedly over 80% of Dilbert's strips are based on ideas of fans.
( — Tweet )
Corporations have souls. Moreover, one must be allowed to disassociate from a corporation.
There is the cliché scene from Trill sitcoms where a pair of male Japanese tourists arrive there and are enthusiastic. They aren't stupid, just awesomely Jappy. Platonic Ideals.
( — Tweet )
A hacker can belong to many corporations:
Question: How do you define yourself? Are you a Jew, an Israeli, an agnostic, an Objectivist, a brony, a furry, a Muppets' aficciando, a Perler, a Linuxer, a FOSS enthusiast, an optimist, a Pythoneer, …?
Answer: I am currently many of these and more. As I noted in an essay, I define myself as "Shlomi Fish". I have my own hybrid philosophy titled "Rindolfism" and it changes almost every day.
( Taken from Shlomi Fish's FAQ )
Not-for-profit organisations ("NPOs") are also corporations ( Reference ).
Corporations of 2 members: "couples", "pairs"
Parenthood, childhood, companionship.
TheCodex™ gives special treatment to corporations of two members, called 'pairs'. There are three major types of them:
X is a "parent" [= mentor] of Y.
Not necessarily a genetic parenthood, of course.
Y is a "child" [= "protege"] of X (if X is a parent of Y).
X and Y are companions, and wish to raise mutual children.
A romantic, sexual, boyfriend+girlfriend or husband+wife relationship is a natural application of this. However, so is a business partnership, or a regular friendship.
A hacker may opt to break-up / divorce the other pair-member.
Types of pleasure
humour / amusement
awe
lust
joy, fun
content-ness, happiness.
cruelty, schadenfreude

My Log of Terminating
Mom Cimorelli was a terminatrix who wanted to have 11 children given it was her lucky number. However, a vampirella may only give birth to a boy+girl pair. One thing she and I had in common was that we both liked playing Freecell. I wrote the first versions of Freecell Solver in 2000 shortly before Dani Cimorelli, her 6th daughter, was born, so her mother ascended before Dani's birth.
xkcd #406: venting displayed "Shlomi Fish" when viewed by Summer Glau. She was terminated by me shortly after that.
I think the last runner-ups were:
Taylor Swift - I suspect my echo was her lover. She was terminated by "Summerschool at the NSA".
Moreover, she and I have a genetic daughter: Rebecca "Becky" Jadzia [lastname], as evidenced by my 2014 wave of inspiration and creativity.
Tuomo "Vendu" Venäläinen - Reference #1
I perceived him on freenode as a sloppy/slacker kernel dev, a marijuana user and activist, and as a fan of Rock and metal music (among other genres). He may have perceived me similarly, before he visited my (static) home site.
I suspect Pope Benedict XVI was not terminated by me, but rather by either Taylor Swift or Kim Kardashian.
Another challenging adversary was my 7th→12th grades' friend, Tal. At the time, it seemed he was smarter and funnier than me, and had a more vivid imagination. However, I was more idealistic, tried hard to be noble and benevolent, was more diligent, challenged prejudice more, and was sometimes more merciful. My story "The Enemy and how I Helped to Fight it" may have been either the termination final blow or an aftermath.
Last standing vampires: Jim Henson and Shlomi Fish
Parameter | Manifestations |
Franchise. | Jim Henson had the Muppets' franchise, while I had my online WWW/Internet presence ( *.shlomifish.org / etc. ) We were both made to think they were obscure and unprofitable. Like Hank Rearden in “Atlas Shrugged” who called Rearden Metal, Rearden Mines, etc. after himself, Henson may have thought The Muppets were only known as "Jim Henson’s creatures shop". Reference:
|
Favourite Daughter | Christina Grimmie in my case, and Buffy in Henson's. We were both made to think they were quite obscure and unsuccessful. We were also made to think they "turned to the dark side" and were killed. In addition, my 2nd-in-command was/is Tiffany Alvord, and I think Henson’s was Brooke Shields. |
Watcher | In Henson's case it was Joss Whedon. In mine, it was Emma Thompson → MJH → Emma Watson. |
"The case for commercial fan-art" | My essay “Commercial Real Person Fan Fiction (RPFs), crossovers and parodies as 2021 geek/hacker imperatives for revitalising the film industry” was probably a remake of a similar one that Henson had written. |
Screenplay format. | Both Henson and I had antagonism toward the terrestrial "Hollywood-blessed screenplay format" (which was neither popular nor mandated). |
Electronic/etc. Technology | My GNU/Linux desktop box runs codes of Python3, perl5, XHTML5, TT3, etc. at a fraction of the time that 1980 mini-computers ran C / Assembly / etc. codes. |
Social status. | Both Henson and I were made to feel isolated, with unresponsive or soulless/lifeless friends and celebrities. |
Calamities | There were strings of calamities in our media: a pandemic, a war, transilliness, extreme weather, a newborn nephew/niece. We both were increasingly non-plussed by them, given we realised our hells were not real. |
Prior art | I was able to build upon and reuse recent works/franchises. That includes my hell's versions of Henson's Sesame Street and The Muppets. |
Time wrap | I suspect Henson&his team lived in a time-wrap, while I didn't/don't. |
Filming the works | Henson did produce/direct/film some of his screenplays. On the other hand, I just placed them on the Web as XHTML or text (and they were produced unbeknowest to me). |
Ultimatum to the devils (= the gamemasters)
Assuming terrestrial science was true, I should have died of water deprivation a long time ago. Now, I am holding a grudge against the fuckers and will not forgive them until I see evidence that one of my favourite children, Christina Grimmie, is alive, healthy, conscious, kicking, and kicking ass! I will rationally forgive them after that.

TheCodex™ of TheGame™ of Fantastecha™
Naive set theory and ZFC
hackers vs. fuckers - א0 vs. א1. etc.
Elohim - a player / gamemaster.
"jew" - a player character.
Time - single dimensional, moving forward, and discrete. As opposed to Einstein's Theory of Relativity, it is not "just another dimension of a 4-D universe".
Soul ( Reference #1 )
Network: set theory and extended Graph Theory ("contextualism")
Sets may contain themselves - directly or indirectly.
Nodes and links may have subsystems.
Links may have more than one entry node.
Our 3-D universe with matter-based planets / star systems / galaxies / etc. is one possible specialisation of the Fantastecha™ network, but so are other imaginary universes.
Travelling from one node to a different one requires expending at least one positive unit of time. One can also travel a finite, but large, positive amount of time into the future. ( E.g: The Ghost Town Pattern )
Mind - a hacker's model of the past states of the Network, and its present state.
Love - pleasure/etc.
Knowledge - fun education and creation/conception - what yields the most pleasure.
Changes the Network irreversibly!
Note that when hackers are born, their minds contain some bootstrapping knowledge. For example, when Christina Grimmie sprang into action in 1994, she knew enough English to say “I'm going to be a post-modern take on a tomboy: a videogames she-dork”
Definitions:
The media / mediums "in-betweens": the paths that a meme travels until reception.
Model (static snapshot) vs. actor / actress (dynamic, changing, but temporary).
Nature
"To die" → to lose a game, any game ( determined using (d10?) dice ); "to be slain" → "to die in TheGameOfSuckers™ Of Fantastecha™"
Death
As far as we know, nobody and nothing have ever perished (= “physically died”) in Fantastecha™. For example, in the Selinaverse, David used his sling to shoot the pebble close to Goliath's face noting that he missed on purpose.
ceiling satan is watching you
As a gamemaster, and a fucker, a satan reviews the finite, but extremely large data state of the known Fantastecha™ and its hackers' (= player characters) minds. So he knows all your thoughts (including dirty, stupid, or wrong ones), and all your passwords. I/you have nothing to hide. "Fear is the path to the dark side.".
Saving Throws
A gamemaster may opt to try to make a hacker do something stupid
