It's 5:00 PM locally, you know what that means.

Antenna broadcast tv-news telling us about woman and her changed attitude about humanity.

Because she has it so hard, people!

The extremely slight adversity of her life as a First Worlder polluter has made her and you all so cynical that you are crying out for sympathy from strangers.

Get over yourself, polluter!

All because of a few dollars. From a person whose problems she most certainly caused for herself, by actions and inactions.

If you care about the fiction of "The Stars My Destination" - discovered for the first time by me only this very day today - then read first the book before reading this note by me, this continuation of a previous note by me

The Tyger

From Wikipedia

The Tyger (also spelt The Tiger) is a poem by William Blake, published in 1794 in Songs of Experience

Poem

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?









excerpts

The Stars My Destination

From Wikipedia

The Stars My Destination is a science fiction novel by American writer Alfred Bester.



Premise

In the 24th or 25th century (depending on the edition of the book), humans have colonized the Solar System and also learned to teleport (although not through outer space). It tells the story of Gulliver ("Gully") Foyle, a man driven and transformed by a thirst for vengeance.

Plot

At the time when the book is set, "jaunting" - personal teleportation - has so upset the social and economic balance that the Inner Planets are at war with the Outer Satellites.



He seeks out Robin Wednesbury, a one-way telepath



Finally he lands in the future, where Robin telepathically tells him how to escape from the collapsing cathedral



He jauntes from one nearby star to another, finding new worlds suitable for colonization, but reachable only if he shares the secret of space-jaunting. He comes to rest back with the cargo cult, where the people see him as a holy man and await his revelation.

Eugene Nida

passed away today









by me, Kerry Burgess, March 25, 2017

I even tried to get a real professor of bible-thumping to review a couple of prime blog reports I made. I mean, anyone who claims to be an expert at interpreting the fairy-tales written by cavemen about that mythical figure "Jesus Christ" should be able to have an insightful opinion about "Star Trek: First Contact" right? I mean, that's some intriguing stuff from the year 1996 and every time I ask for an opinion, it's nothing but crickets out there in the real world.

I've described before notions about "Extinct" and how it seemed humorous it was, when I first saw it, on my tv Channel 232.

I'm certain those Jesus Christ bible-thumpers learned nothing from it.

As I've said before, a professor of theology is expert only in circular reasoning









by me, Kerry Burgess posted by me: May 23, 2022

For you people out there, your Jesus Christ bible-thumper mythology, as with all other religions of any type, that marketing-buzzword "faith" or even "karma", was invented by cavemen and those superstitious imbeciles were completely ignorant - almost as much as you, but less so because of the work of progressive scientific-research filtering down into elementary-school text books and not because of your ridiculous fairy-tales - of the difference between the stars in the night sky and the clouds in the sky above

The clouds are where your Monkey God(s) exist in your dim-wit dullard monkey-brain.

You're too weak to admit that you've become brainwashed by scam-artists because you're gullible and you're susceptible to superstition, in your cowardly terror of mortality. You make the world a worse place because you're unable to cope with reality. You're dumb and stupid and you make others dumb and stupid.









by me, Kerry Burgess, December 16, 2017 7:01 pm

Jesus Christ bible-thumpers, will simply change their story when the facts prove they are wrong. Million of monkey-men were wrong about Zeus so they simply invented a phony God easier to believe.

[The elevator doors open and they both exit, Kawalski holding the door open.]

KAWALSKI
There you go.

[They pass other personnel entering the elevator.]

DANIEL
(nervously)
Hey, hi.

[Myers and Shore are in the corridor, carrying papers, they join Kawalski and Daniel.]

MYERS
Doctor Jackson?

DANIEL
Hello.

MYERS
Doctor Gary Myers, how are you.

DANIEL
What is this place?

Stargate (1994)

MYERS
Now there's two lines of hieroglyphs. The inner track has the classic figures, but the outer track is like the cartouche in the center. It's got writing unlike what we've ever found before.

[Daniel steps back to see better.]

DANIEL
Those aren't hieroglyphics. Might be some form of hieratic or maybe cuneiform.

SHORE
Yeah.

[Daniel moves to a blackboard, looking at where the hieroglyphs have already been partly translated into English.]

DANIEL
Well, the translation of the inner track is wrong. Must've used Budge. I don't know why they keep reprinting his books.

[He starts erasing some of the translation.]

MYERS
Ex-excuse me. Wha-what are you doing? We've used every known technique.

[Daniel finally turns around, pointing to an untranslated symbol.]

DANIEL
That's a curious word, to use, eh, "Quebeh"?

MYERS
Yeah...?

DANIEL
Then an adverbial sedjem-en-ef with a cleft subject. Then "Sealed and buried."

[Adds the words to an untranslated section of the hieroglyphs, then crosses out "coffins".]

MYERS
Ex-excuse me. Wha-what are you doing?

DANIEL
That's not coffins.

[Daniel ignores Myers, crossing out the word "forever to eternity" and replacing it with...]

DANIEL
"For all time." Who the hell translated this?

[Catherine and Shore look at Myers.]

MYERS
Uh, I-I did.

DANIEL
Well, this should read: "A million years into the sky is Ra, sun god, sealed and buried for all time..." It's not "door to heaven". (He crosses that word out and replaces it.) "His Stargate."
