There is no reason why mathematics should coincide or describe the physical
world or history. It is only an assumption that mathematics should be
expected to describe anything.

Also I simply don't understand this current anti-drug culture. Cops and
soldiers are given drugs which are usually amphetamines to improve their
functionality -- read survivability and performance. The drug of choice in
GR is sodium amytal or penothol and not LSD. The truth drugs are very fun
indeed.

In a world where "They" run us and profit from both war and peace it seems
obvious that we should all just opt out. Recall that WWII mobilization
rescued Germany from an inflationary spiral and the US from a deflationary
spiral. In peace, it would have been politically impossible to institute
very large government expenditures and both wage and price controls. But in
any case, "They" always profit.

With respect to mass pornography, one could ask who the viewer identifies
with -- the dick or the enclosing orifice. It's another assumption to
suppose that pornography is a description of anything erotic. Some of the
characters in GR sell their dicks as a trade off for security or
entertainment -- Pokler and Roger Mexico perhaps.
