Protopanpsychism and the consciousness conundrum, or why we shouldn’t assume uploads

Inplants/subliminal suggestion/genetic surgery/drug & diet therapy/submersed psychological programming/genetic regression
etc...with all modern methods of enhancement/control are we who we think we are? Are we to a greater or lesser degree just variations of Faustian/Frankenstinien pact with possible extra-terrestrial control...Nikola Tesla believed so!

And is'nt every-thing an "Illusion"...what is the value of money and what does it measure...there one thing for sure: "Money is Highly Inflammable"...We are in a great need of another method of trading that is not at the mercy of speculation...that is based on Karma and need not greed...

If The Light goes out

Believing in nowt
And to be cast-out...
On a sea of doubt

With a mighty shout
Cries to the devout...
Never be with-out!

Avoid the mean tout
And the thuggish lout...
Let the Evil out!

By stealth be a scout
The Villains...do rout
With a hefty clout

If The Light goes out
Do not the Law flout...
But to Truth be stout.
