More logical treatises & scientific theorems should include symbols instructing perceivers to shift their mind-body state (e.g., meditate, walk in nature, take psychedelics, perform a ritual) before proceeding with the computation or thought. A lost art form.

William.S.Burroughs on Secret Science
"Civilian researchers publish their findings. Top secret projects can then develop these findings in negative directions designated under 'military use' but they do not publish their findings. They are withholding valuable knowledge not only from the public but from other workers in specialized fields. If we lived in the Middle Ages, the fact that the world is round would be a top secret, enabling us to attack the enemy from the rear."

Throughout history, many of true substance came to a common conclusion: life is too precious to waste on fleeting fame, empty allegiances, or hollow power and riches. Once you grasp this, you see history with new eyes—not through the famous, but in the shadows.

Since medieval times, savvy rulers knew to stay in the shadows, letting others take the throne while they held the power. This tradition lives on in today’s corpocracy.

Discussing secretive historical organizations, like The 1001 Club, with an LLM leads to intriguing yet highly censored insights. For comparison, here’s a human-compiled dossier on the 1001 club.
Origins and Structure
The 1001 Club was established in 1971 by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands as an exclusive environmental fundraising organization to support the World Wildlife Fund (WWF, now World Wide Fund for Nature).

Modern Relevance
While the Club's prominence has diminished since Prince Bernhard's passing, its legacy continues through:
- Established conservation networks
- Resource management systems
- Financial structures
- International cooperation mechanisms
- Development frameworks
The 1001 Club represents a unique historical example of how environmental conservation efforts intersected with global power structures, resource management, and international finance during a critical period of global transformation. While many details of its operations remain private, its influence on modern conservation and resource management approaches continues to be studied and debated.
The Club's complex integration of conservation, finance, and strategic resource management provides valuable insights into the evolution of global environmental governance and the intersection of private power with public policy objectives.
End Note: Due to the private nature of the Club and limited public documentation, some aspects of this report may benefit from additional verification against primary sources. -

The Service: The Memoirs of General Reinhard Gehlen by Reinhard Gehlen (1972)
"Our suspicions were largely confirmed when, independently of one another, we found out that Bormann and his group were operating an unsupervised radio transmitter network and using it to send coded messages to Moscow. When OKW monitors reported this, Canaris demanded an investigation; but word came back that Hitler himself had emphatically forbidden any intervention: he had been informed in advance of these Funkspiele, or "fake radio messages," and he had approved them" (p.71).

AI video generation models in 2001 were far from perfect, but for their time, they were impressive.
If you conduct a detailed, large-scale analysis of viral video footage from 'the event' in 2021/22, you'll find a pattern of strange image artifacts, highly indicative of AI-generated content. Interestingly, much of the footage has since disappeared.
