JS III cannot be Understood

I bought the book of his memoirs, hoping to understand something about bim. But eventually realized there was nothing about him to understand. 

And there is nothing to understand about his followers either.

Sex means you aprove of each other

But how deep that approval may be varies considerably. 

My mother and father did not love each other very much. and considered that normal. They went to church instead. 

When I worked in Silicon Valley in the Nineties, the Computer employees were sexually active,  extremely so. And considered this part of their approval of their profession, and were quite put out if you did not have sex with them.

It is well-known that Cleopatra had sex with Julius Ceaser and bore him several children. How these children of complicated parentage managed this is not known, but there were plenty of them. 

Robot Guns that would Kill Taliban

These would not be hard to build, once we got a prototype working. 

They would be like small battle tanks with treads instead of wheels and a rotating gun turret.

Once it meets something, it must ask these questions:

is it a person? Does it have human brain waves?

Is it a Taliban? Does it not have the code assigned to the non- Taliban? This could be encoded and changed frequently.

Shoot it!

Every second or so, the system could send the following message:

From XXXXXX to XXXXXX time
in area from XXXXXX to XXXXXXXThis many
XXXXXX killings 

A demo could be parked on the White House lawn and would track people walking on the sidewalk outside the fence. This would show how smart it is.

Another way of doing this is with spacial-purpose aircraft, working with obsevers on the ground. Thry would decide what needed to be destroyed, and the plane would destroy it. 

Stupid Emma

The Emma I am referring to,  was Emma Smith the Wife of the Prophet. Her husband was killed by a mob in 1844, leaving her with three of his sons, all small boys. 

Her first decision must have made sense to her: she stayed in Nauvoo, because she owned most of the place. She owned a ghost town that was quickly becoming less valuable. But she did not realize this. 

Her oldest sub, Joseph Smith III, joined the RLDS church, and ended up in Lamoni, Iowa. But there is no record of her being part of this church.

She died in poverty, and all her buildings were sold at a Tax sale.

Joseph Smith was a Religious Dictator

He had the amazing ability to make other people obey him. And there were plenty of people willing to obey him.  

This is part of the leader/follower syndrome that is part of the human condition. 

There is no reason to panic over this, it's just another one of life's common problems.  

We Know who we are, and we don't Like who we Know

Can We Make a Better World?

No, there are too many things against us. 

I am not saying we should not try, but we should not expect too much. 

A better question would be "What things can we do to make a better world?" Or maybe "What are the easiest things we can do to make a better world?"

We have to start by defining the Good Guys and the Bad Guys. Or the Guys that are trying to be good (but can't quite make the grade, liked me) and those who are trying to be bad.
