Autogenesism: A Rational Theory of Everything

Autogenesism: A Rational Theory of Everything

Kevin Brian Carroll

nidottu
AutoGenesism is a full Theory of Everything. It's the only full Theory of Everything that exists. This is what makes it singular among the many theories that have begun to pile up within the worlds of cosmology, physics and metaphysics in recent years. It's not a unification theory addressing the profound schism between the way that macro and micro systems operate. It's not a theory focused on reducing the mathematics of material reality to an elegant (if necessarily cryptic) equation that balances one side of the "=" against the other with miraculous precision and without leaning on any infinite values or convenient absences (like gravity or time progression). It's certainly not yet another bland attempt to reveal the science behind any of the handful of traditional religions that have dominated human culture over the course of recent centuries. AutoGenesism is unlike any Theory of Everything that's ever been proposed, and yes, I fully realize how many times this claim has been published in connection with Natural Philosophy; the centuries-old and on-going effort to define the macro-system that contains everything that is real. This AutoGenesism will prove to be a very different revelation, regardless of how it is measured, compared, or contrasted, and whether it is the world's modern scientific dogmas or its traditional wisdoms that are used as contextual reference. AutoGenesism fully addresses all questions concerning the true nature of Reality. It reveals how Reality came into existence. It reveals why Reality came into existence. It reveals how spatial dimensions emerged. It reveals why spatial dimensions emerged. It reveals how Time began. It reveals why Time began. It reveals the true structure of material existence. It reveals the truth concerning precedent and its relationship with the laws of nature. It reveals the actual parameters of our universe. AutoGenesism fully addresses all questions concerning the true nature of the human being. It reveals how humanity is unique within the material realm. It reveals why humanity knows it is unique within the material realm. It reveals the eternal nature of the human being. It reveals that the full human being is not a material manifestation, and why. It reveals how easily a fully developed human being can become imprisoned and explains why it can end up being literally impossible to free such a prisoner. It offers the most plausible explanation for our species' belief in gods, demons, heavens, and hells. It reveals the false connection between deism/theism and human afterlife. It reveals the physics behind all that humanity has known to be true about itself. AutoGenesism addresses these basics, and how they each relate intimately with one another, as it completely fleshes out Reality's structural foundation without the introduction of anything that hasn't already been proven fundamental to what's reliably true as a result of the last century of scientific research. That said, all that's become common knowledge will be properly placed and accurately attributed, with the net result being a fully functional matrix that is both familiar and completely counterintuitive - well, until the utter simplicity of it as a thoroughly natural response to raw physical existence itself becomes obvious, and its conceptual elegance forever invalidates all other Reality explanations. With clarity and specificity, AutoGenesism: A Rational Theory of Everything takes on the biggest and most intractable questions that our own human race has ever confronted while making a powerful case that, when all is finally revealed, Reality is probably going to turn out to be a lot less confounding than the world's greatest minds could have ever imagined.

Short Bus

Short Bus

Brian Allen Carr

Texas Review Press
2011

Short Bus is a darkly humorous collection of linked stories set in the southern haunts of coastal Texas--near where the Rio Grande dumps its brackish water into the Gulf of Mexico. The stories in this book ponder deformity in all its forms. Fetuses twist their mustaches, feet float in jars, a special- education teacher aims to rob a bank with the aid of his students. But binding these stories is a gentle humanity. Brian Allen Carr moves his grotesque characters toward the hollows of hearts, heaving despicable actions toward tender outcomes. Short Bus is a book about understanding the worst of us, smiling at that which makes us shudder. 'Brian Allen Carr's brain must be a snarl of firing pistons, sizzling fuses, hoses leaking blood and tequila and hydraulic oil. How else can you explain the twisted machinery of his stories? Each of them is a disturbing journey that will thrill and educate you in the sunlit haze of the Texas/Mexico border - and the sometimes subterranean darkness of the human heart.'--BenjaminPercy, author ofThe WildingandRefresh, Refresh 'Brian Allen Carr balances the harshness of his characters' lives with beautiful and precise language, making parched land feel lush. Carr writes the best kind of stories--stories that only he could have written.' --Mary Miller (author of Big World) "Brian Allen Carr has written a short story collection that is everything hardworking--the characters, the scenery, the sentences--all form to build a machine crafted to break hearts along the border. A ridiculously strong first collection."--Shane Jones (author of Light Boxes)

Full of gorgeous language and wild insights.--Nick Flynn Set in the beleaguered heart of Indiana's opioid crisis, Brian Allen Carr's timely and tender novel about a teen struggling to find his place in the world--and come up with $800 rent--is at once a moving rumination on the hopeful power of story and a harrowing insight into modern America. It is a book you won't soon forget. Seventeen-year-old Riggle is living in rural Indiana with his uncle and uncle's girlfriend after the death of his parents. Now his uncle is missing, probably on a drug binge. It's Monday, and $800 in rent is due Friday. Riggle, who's been suspended from school, has to either find his uncle or get the money together himself. His mission exposes him to a motley group of Opioid locals--encounters by turns perplexing, harrowing, and heartening. With empathy and insight, Carr explores what it's like to be a high school kid in the age of Trump--a time of economic inequality, addiction, Confederate flags, and mass shootings. Through the voice of its unforgettable protagonist--charismatic, confused, searching, by turns cynical and na ve, wise and impulsive--Opioid, Indiana pierces to the heart of our moment.
Weibliche Monster im Horrorfilm. Das Beispiel des Films "Carrie" von Brian De Palma
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Film und Fernsehen, Note: 1,0, Westf lische Wilhelms-Universit t M nster (Germanistisches Institut), Veranstaltung: Semiotik des Horrorfilms, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das Konzept des Monsters nimmt eine zentrale Rolle im Horrorfilm ein. Zumeist pr sentieren Horrorfilme ein als m nnlich zu identifizierendes Monster, dem ein junges, weibliches Opfer gegen ber gestellt ist. Das Erkenntnisinteresse dieser Arbeit liegt darin zu untersuchen, wie sich die Figuration des Monsters ver ndert, wenn es weiblich ausgestaltet wird und wie Weiblichkeit als Strukturmerkmal des Monsters pr sentiert wird. Als Beispiel dient der Film Carrie, welcher auf einem Roman von Stephen King basiert. Erz hlt wird von der Au enseiterin Carrie White, die sowohl unter der Ausgrenzung ihrer Mitsch lerInnen leidet als auch unter den Dogmen ihrer fundamental christlichen Mutter. Ausgangspunkt der Handlung ist das Einsetzen ihrer Menstruationsblutung, woran der Erhalt telekinetischer Kr fte gekn pft ist. Zunehmend lehnt sie sich gegen den radikalen Glauben ihrer Mutter auf und geht schlie lich ohne deren Erlaubnis auf den Schulball, wo es zur Katastrophe kommt: Bei ihrer Kr nung zur Ballk nigin wird sie von einer Mitsch lerin mit Schweineblut bergossen. Daraufhin nutzt sie ihre telekinetischen Kr fte, um den Ball in ein Blutbad zu verwandeln. Carrie White ist, im Gegensatz zu anderen Monsterfiguren, nicht offensichtlich als monstr s markiert. Vielmehr stellt der Film aus, welcher Gewalt sie ausgeliefert ist und unter welchem Kraftaufwand sie sich behaupten muss. Im Verlauf des Filmes entwickelt sie sich vom Opfer ihrer Mitmenschen zu deren M rderin. Demzufolge lautet die These, die dieser Arbeit zugrunde liegt, dass Carrie White strukturell von vornherein als Monsterfigur angelegt ist, sich ihre Monstrosit t jedoch erst im Fortgang der Handlung manifestiert. Katalysatoren hierf r sind ihr geistiger und k rperlicher Reifepr

Qoheleth critiques the teachings found in the rest of the Hebrew Bible, but why did he push back against his inherited traditions? Raising the possibility that Qoheleth's dissonant and defiant tone arose from a life lived in exile, Brian Fiu Kolia invites readers to engage Qoheleth's skepticism from the perspective of Kolia's own Samoan diasporic community, where skepticism toward their own house (maota) of traditions and religious practices results from the clash of old and new. In today's largely transnational world, the implications of this (re)reading are significant for understanding how the establishment of diaspora communities generates tension between worlds.

World War II US Fast Carrier Task Force Tactics 1943–45
Drawing on difficult-to-access wartime documents and other contemporary sources, this is the first compact, illustrated study of the tactics and techniques of the US fast carriers of Task Forces 50, 58 and 38 during the naval war against Japan in 1943–45. This title concentrates on exactly how these highly successful forces actually operated: their composition in ships, aircraft and men; the essential technology at their disposal; the evolving doctrine for their employment; the opposition and dangers they faced; and how they overcame them at the tactical level. It explains in straightforward terms the intricate details of topics such as how ships manoeuvred, how aircraft were deployed and recovered, the formations and approaches used by fighters, dive-bombers and torpedo-bombers against naval and land targets, and how Task Forces defended themselves. The text is supported by a wide range of wartime photos and full-colour illustrations, showing, for example, the formations employed by ships and aircraft, with altitudes and ranges throughout the course of attacks.
