A "GOD GENE"? A "DOMESTICATION" GENE? THE LUZ BONE!!; AND BUSTIN' THE BIDEN OP IN TWO EASY STEPS
Leading off today with these great jokes which substack buried in my mail-out by cutting the mail off very, very short. Never seen that before. And wouldn't want you to have missed this.
Here it is. Go to this man’s substack and get your own copy for posterity. Home Schooling Supplies Here.
Hurry with that sand please, they are still able to speak.
Also, skunks don’t smell all that bad.
LET’S BUST THIS BIDEN OP, SHALL WE?
STEP ONE:
" The gro-tesque, or, if you prefer, the "Ubu-esque" is not just a term of abuse or an insulting epithet, and I would not like to use it in that sense. I think that there is a precise category, or, in any case, that we should define a precise category of historico-political analysis, that would be the category of the grotesque or Ubu-esque. Ubu -esque terror, grotesque sovereignty, or, in starker terms, the maximization of effects of power on the basis of the disqualification of the one who produces them. I do not think this is an accident or mechanical failure in the history of power. It seems to me that it is one of the cogs that are an inherent part of the mechanisms of power. Political power, at least in some societies, and anyway in our society, can give itself, and has actually given itself, the possibility of conveying its effects and, even more, of finding their source, in a place that is manifestly, explicitly, and readily discredited as odious, despicable, or ridiculous. [ Dumb and Dumber? ] This grotesque mechanism of power, or this grotesque cog in the mechanism of power, has a long history in the structures and political functioning of our societies. There are striking examples of it in Roman history, especially in the history of the Roman Empire, where the almost theatrical disqualification of the origin of power in, and the coupling of every effect of power with, the person of the emperor was precisely a mode, if not of governing exactly, at least of domination: a dis- qualification that ensured that the person who possessed maiestas, that is to say, more power than any other power was, at the same time, in his person, his character, and his physical reality, in his costume, his gestures, his body, his sexuality and his way of life, a despicable, grotesque, and ridiculous individual . From Nero to Elagabalus, the mechanism of grotesque power, of vile sovereignty, was perennially brought into play in the functioning of the Roman Empire. The grotesque is one of the essential processes of arbitrary sover- eignty." Michel Foucault, "ABNORMAL"; Lectures at the College de France, 1974-1975
STEP TWO :
S E E ?
It’s all a show. Bread and circus while the fox is in the hen house.
Movin’ on….how about we open the curtain on this “god gene” ridiculousness, okay?
Now that Joseph Farrell, bless his little sexist soul, is hypothesizing about a possible “domestication gene”, I can see exactly where this is going.

From Joseph Farrell: “ Destroying Our Connection to God with Gene Editing Injections”
“ There's nothing for it but to dive right in; from the beginning of the article”:
More than a hundred years ago, Rudolf Steiner wrote that. “In the future, we will eliminate the soul with medicine. Under the pretext of a ‘healthy point of view’, there will be a vaccine by which the human body will be treated... so that the human being cannot develop the thought of the existence of soul and Spirit… He would be extremely smart, but he would not develop a conscience, and that is the true goal of some materialistic circles.”
“Most regular readers of this website or participants in our members' vidchats know that I am not a big Rudolf Steiner fan. To put all my cards on the table, I find his writing dry, one dimensional, and unreadable, and the endless claims and assertions without the slightest attempt to cite any source from which he draws some of those assertions to be downright irritating and frustration almost without parallel. After all, he's German, and when it comes to footnotes, he should know better. But in any case, Steiner's speculation here is one of the few that I think is highly intriguing,”
That of course, leads me to my high octane speculation of the day, which must be asked in the form of a question: one assumes that the "God gene" is not the only such "spirituality-influencing" gene in the human genome, and that there may be other genes and even epigenetic factors involved. The question then becomes, is there or are there present, within animals and particularly the higher beasts, similar genes that enable their domestication, as these genes appear to enable human reason and emotional life?”
Thank you, Joseph. Seriously??? Is this what a guy has to do to make mulah these days?
Oi Vey. We are,….. as I have been saying, because this is a Rahu/north node agenda all the way, ….in a time of The Great Illusion Factory.
Neptune is in Pisces too at this time. Neptune is the Psychopomp of Illusion. The GREAT DISSOLVER. WATER IS THE GREAT DISSOLVER.
WIZARD OF OZ, REMEMBER?
“ …as these genes appear”….and natives and animals and bugs and life continue to diss-appear. Dissed in favor of machines.
The realm of illusion, genes that “appear”, but not to the naked eye. No, sire, but clearly to the “human logic”.
Right.
(Spoiler re. a “domestication gene”: Bad women and feminists, just about all mature females, will be found to be lacking, and need “therapy”. The “gene philosopher-kings” will demand all the females be given to them by the age of eight. It’s a “Platonic” thingy, you know? Plato the Pederast. Famous for his “logic”. )
So, let’s go back in time to one of the original “god gene” discourses. The “Luz Bone”.
Strap in for the ride. From “Spook: Science Tackles The Afterlife”. By Mary Roach.
Chapter Two: "The Little Man Inside the Sperm, or Possibly the Big Toe" Hunting the soul with microscopes and scalpels " There is a very good chance that you underestimate the historic import of the sea urchin.* (Here we will pause to read the note indicated) * "There's a good chance you underestimate almost everything abouth the sea urchin. For instance, the Encyclopedia Brittanica tells us some sea urchins use their little sucker-tipped feet to hold pieces of seaweed over their heads like parasols, for shade. Plus, they have teeth that can drill into rock and excavate entire living rooms for their owners. The teeth are hard to see, because sea urchins sit on their mouths; possibly they are self-conscious about their "complex dental apparatus called Aristotle's lantern. " One type has spines that can be used as pencils, though not, disappointingly, by the urchin itself. " Don't miss the notes. All the best stuff is there. " In 1975, a German biologist named Oskar Hertwig watched a sea urchin sperm nose its way into a sea urchin egg and fuse with it to form a single nucleus, right there under the microscope. It took civilized man six thousand years to figure out how life begins, and the honors go to humble Oskar and his amorous echinoderms. Scientists had long suspected that human generation had something to do with eggs - most everyone who owned a chicken suspected this - and they knew it had to do with intercourse and semen, but beyond that they were unclear on the specifics. This was largely because the couldn't see the specifics. The sea urchin's eggs offered two advantages: (a) they're see through, and (b) they're fertilized outside of the female's body, in the ocean or, in occasional cases, under some German dude's microscope. (Fast forwarding through Aristotle's "logic": ) "Some of the earliest and most thorough speculation was done by Aristotle. The learned Greek - who, I was interested to read, went through life with a lisp - decided that the man's semen supplied the soul of the new individual. The breath, ...given breathing's obvious connection to being alive. Hence Aristotle's name for the spirit: pneuma, which is Greek for "wind". ..........the pneuma would set to work, building new life from the materials it had on hand: menstrual blood, to be unpleasantly specific. Aristotle described the process as a sort of coagulation, using the apt if inelegant analogy of a cheesemaker's rennet solidifying milk. ....the pneuma would infuse it with the first of three eventual souls. This vegetative soul, as it was called, was a sort of starter soul, a learner's permit for human existence. You were a thing that eats and grows; more than a potato but less than a human. [ And Not Much More in some cases. Couch potatoes are still forming souls? ] 'On the fortieth day...morphed into... the sensitive soul. ..."relating to the senses"....After some further, unspecified amount of time....the pneuma would allow the newly minted sensitive soul to upgrade to a rational soul. Here was the black belt of humanness, the sort of spirit that rises above animal lusts and girly emotions and pays no heed to people who make fun of the way it says semen......" [ LOL Arithtotle ]
"And that's pretty much what people believed for the two thousand years after Aristotle put the word out. The man who elevated the ovum to a leadership role in the proceedings was seventeenth-century English physician William Harvey. Harvey is best known for figuring out that blood circulates in a closed system of arteries and veins, a feat he managed by dissecting cadavers, including that of his sister. For his pioneering work in reproduction, you will be relieved to learn that Harvey left the womenfolk alone. Here he turned to a herd of deer that wandered, ever more warily, the grounds of his employer, King Charles I. ....Harvey expected to find the requisite coagulated blob....was astonished to instead find the beginnings of tiny deer: embryos and fetuses encased in sacs, which he mistakenly identified as eggs. The egg, Harvey felt, contained the makings of "all that is alive". Semen was relegated to the role of a "contagion, ", prompting human generation much as a virus does a cold. And how would the life force, the soul, get into the egg? here science abandoned Harvey, and he fell back on religion: "It is given....by the heavens or the sun or the Almighty Creator. " [Harummph!! Onward.....] " And so it is not surprising that the next milestone fell to Antoni van Leeuwenhoek: the man who loved microscopes." [ Here I pause: L. got obsessed with oral bacteria. The Royal Society published his papers, and soon......] ".....encouraged him to move on to the rest of man's moistnesses. In particular, they wanted him to examine [seamen]semen. ...Leeuwenhoek refused. "He questioned the propriety of writing about semen and intercourse. ...Several years later, a medical student presented Leeuwenhoek with a vial of semen from a gonorrheac man. ( Hey, thanks! ) ....Leeuwenhoek ...set about exa-mining his own semen. In a 1677 letter describing his findings , Leeuwenhoek was careful to point out that the material was a "residue after conjugal coitus", and not the product of "sinfully defiling myself. " [ Sigh ] [ Fabulous entertainment here, and we're gonna skip ahead to the luz bone. Get the book. It's outrageous. "Bonk" is even better. "Stiff" will surprise you. You never suspected that dead bodies could be so funny.] " I managed to find only two other references to scientists rummaging around in corpses looking for souls. One comes from the Midrash, a collection of ancient rabbinical commentaries on the Torah. The Midrash makes a reference to a single indestructible bone, called the luz. The luz is shaoed like a chickpea (or an almond, depending on which rabbi you listen to) and located at the top of the spine (or the bottom, depending on which rabbi you listen to.) From this bone, the Midrash states, a person is reconcocted after death. It's the soul bone. "...upon being confronted by the Roman emperor Hadrian. "Prove it to me," Hadrian is quoted as saying. So the rabbi did. "He had one brought.... (Like , he just turned to some underling: Smetak! Fetch me a luz! ) He put it in fire, but it was not burnt, he put it in a mill but it was not ground. He placed it on an anvil and struck it with a hammer; the anvil split and the hammer was broken but all this had no effect on the luz. " ".....when the science of anatomy began to gain momentum in the Middle Ages, it's practitioners sought to find it. They nominated, among other bones, the coccyx, the sacrum, the twelfth dorsal vertebra, the wormian bones of the skull, and the tiny sesamoid bones of the big toe. .....The famed Renaissance anatomist Vesuvius, having spent an afternoon mucking around with a set of sesamoid bones, more or less laid the matter to rest: "We should attach no importance whatever, " he wrote in De humani corporis fabrica, "to the miraculous and occult powers ascribed to the internal ossicle of the right great toe. " [I"ll bet that was a relief!! Imagine ..stepping on someone's big toe....could get you possessed or land you in hell? ] Contemporary rabbinical discussion of the luz bone is harder to come by. On the website Ask The Rabbi, a mohel from Paris posted an e -mail seeking information about the luz. The rabbi's reply confirmed the bone's alleged indestructibility and added that it has been described as "having with it many intertwined spider-like vessels. " He referred the mohel to......I e-mailed the mohel to see what he'd found out. "Dr Eli Tenstet of Paris has gone to a better world. " "Now , he sure knows where and what exactly is the luz. " I sent an email to Ask The Rabbi. Was there a paper on the spider-like blood vessels of the luz? The rabbi did not Answer the Writer. I consulted a book on Talmudic medicine, but no mention was made of the spidery veins of the soul bone. * * My disappointment was short lived, for this was a wondrous book. Here were detailed rabbinical opinions upon "whether or not a cattle breeder whose animal caused damage by knocking something with its penis must make restitution" (undecided) ; upon the inadmissibility of cleaning the anus "with the snout of a dog"; upon "the misconduct in which a woman places into the vagina of another woman a piece of meat from a fallen animal. " Here were descriptions of "hairy heart" and treatments for chronic uterine bleeding ("take three measures of Persian onions, boil them in wine, make her drink it and say to her, 'Cease your discharge!" )
Full Moon in Mula asterism is upon us. Careful, folks.
We musn’t let our hearts get…hairy.
Blessed Be

Intriguing stuff here... will get back to it... obviously domestication has already been bred into, for example. horses. so that would imply one or more genetic components, or epigenetic at the very least...
would not be surprised if domestication has already been bred into many genetic lines of women.
I like how your mind wanders and connects stuff. mine does that too, but yours seems to be full of so much more stuff to get connected!!
Always a pleasure…
