True Colors



In speech class I came across a system in which is able to determine an individuals personality, stressors, and possible career choices. This system is called True colors. There are four true colors: yellow (gold), blue, green, and red (or orange). Each color has distinct characteristics in which a person can determine which one fits their personality type. Often one can have two colors as some of their personality can share traits from other colors. I will share the properties of each color and you will have to decide which color best fits your personality.

Things I Would Like To Do As A Political Leader

I have always told myself if I was a political leader, what type of world I would like to imagine. What kind of laws would I make today?

I don't know if this is right; however, over time I will probably make another list with more corrected ideas. This is my first draft of a list of things I would do as a political leader or president.

1.       Limit free trade and instigate growth of products made in the US.

2.       Give more power to local governments. Move towards more of a republic system.

3.       Give incentives to businesses and business growth.

4.       Create a more simplified flat tax system. Also find ways for the government to give back to the people to promote confidence in government. An idea would be for every couple of years, the government gives out free gifts or events in exchange for government participation and appreciation. Another idea I would like to create is using taxes to implement plans that could help benefit every citizen, such as plans for a more beneficial health care system, plans for personal deficits and specific liability payment...ect. Ultimately, I want a system where the government gives back to the people seemingly more than what the people put in.

5.       Give incentives new energy ideas; laws based on psychology and scientific methods; and scientific development. This will also include testing Jacque Fresco's government idea and ideas for a resource-based economy.

6.       Create a free education system. This is using both a single track and multi-track system.

7.       Implement a class with the teachings of world ethical and moral principles and understandings (like the teaching of Confucius, Plato, Buddha, Christianity, Gandhi, and other moral and ethical leaders of the past) so that children can learn what is right from wrong and wisdom of life at an early age and what it takes to succeed in life.

8.       Incorporate a new decision and congressional communication system where the average individual can look and give suggestions on refining existing laws for voter consideration. Use this system also to enact a simple summery explaining a blueprint or diagram of every law in simple English to where a child can understand using videos and visual elements. Make our law making system simplified and intractable for average individuals.

9.       Instigate a body that puts high priority for personal freedoms, privacy, and perusing happiness in a manner that every individual desires that does not impose on each other.

10.   Enforce privacy by not tracking GPS signals, not monitoring internet or electronic devices, or anything else without a court sepina or a notice telling the individual so.

11.   Fund an agency/organization of modern non-bias philosophers for ethical decision making in every state. 

12.   Fund a new agency dedicated to government investigations and to dissolve conspiracies. Every state will have an agency of their own and will come together if there is a problem in Washington. This agency is the war hammer of any litigation, conspiracy, or hint of corruption. It will bring any conspiracy or form of corruption to light which will then be passed to the representatives of every state.

13.   Release all critical or extraterrestrial intelligence for enthusiasts and those who desire to know. This includes information in regards to full transparency for journalists and media outlets. All intelligence regarded to be secret should also be released and done so with the use of agreements and confines of the law or more secure circumstances to ensure no information leak (ultimately everything is determined by how badly do you want to know and if one is willing to take the measures to protect the information).

14.    Build up the borders. Pay private individuals or local governments to build up the borders.

15.   Examine the prison system and come up with a better plan of incarceration and revise all inmate who are incarcerated to see if they deserve incarceration (such as letting go of those with minor felonies). Another idea would be to separate inmates and relocating them to specified incarceration facilities depending on their offense, perhaps in hope to promote a less violent or inhumane institutionalized environment.

16.   Stop crimes with the use of scientific methods, such as psychology, neurology, and sociology.

17.   Give families incentives for raise children properly (families with both parents).

18.   Build a bullet train system throughout the US. Build a walk path with occasional shopping districts through the US. Ultimately, make a transportation system not limited to vehicles and airplanes.

19.   Create a nation and state ID that can be used for voting, transportation, and identification (and that cannot be stolen or used by another individual).

20.   Instigate new methods for protecting identity, credit, and person income. Seek corrupt businesses and take them to court. (Crack down anyone who disrupts personal freedoms.)

21.    Set a date and make all illegals before that date a citizen and stop the further flow of illegal immigrants.

22.    Politicians get no money from lobbyists (maybe; or until negotiations are made public) and are limited of two terms.

23.   lower the cost of building homes, rent, and products.

24.   Raise standards and wealth among farmers and build a surplus of food production.

25.   Put the dollar back on the gold standard by making a gold surplus over a long period of time.

26.   Develop a more secure national defense along with a global defense.

27.   Enabling undesired orphans to join scientific or military institutions at an early age.

28.   Set up a system where we can further move towards more complex systems and futurist ideas and developments.

29.   Implement drug facilities for those who desire to use illegal substances. Permit the allowance of marijuana and harmless illegal substances with a list of required regulations. An example such as not allowing individuals to elicit substance in public or near children.

30.   (maybe) Create a leniency for unnecessary traffic violations and implement the use of vehicular communication technologies.  Ex. Create a system where if a person is late or has an emergency to allow other vehicles to allow the speeding vehicle to pass them by.

31.   Create a system for unused food production from supermarkets and restaurant don't throw food away. Instead, create a new government run facility that will allow families and individuals in poverty to get food for extremely cheap prices. (Second change to hunger foundation)

32.   Enable flying vehicles, regulated with technologies that pertain to national and individual safety.

33.   (highly controversial/ debatable/maybe, if desired) Because of sex trafficking, I came up with an idea to make a specific law-regulated contract allowing the use of personal care or owning of another or apprenticeship with the use of heavy regulations. Regulations such as the contracted individual can be granted certain freedoms. If their freedoms are impose on, their guardian/contractor will be subject to custodial terminations. The desired apprentice/ contractee has the freedom to choose to be contracted or not. I think it's best that contracts should be updated annually. Such contracts will include mandatory and exceptional living conditions, education, health and labor standards. To summarize, this is for individuals that desire to be taken on a as apprentices or to allow themselves to be taken care of by another with the use of contracts which is regulated by heavy lawful conditions.

34.   (controversial) Allow the use of prostitution with strict regulations regards to health, hygiene, personal protection and to solicit their services in designated area that has no children-related facilities, institutions or businesses.

35.   Create massive reserves designated for no human development or tampering with nature.

36.   Simplify the federal grant system for individuals and businesses to receive funding within 2 weeks.

37.   Switch our entire government to be caught up with modern standards of computerized technologies as well as simplified physical filing methods.

38.   Maybe make a limited (for four to six years) production of easy to manufacture federally funded cars and give them to college graduates.

39.   (maybe) Make a different system for high school graduates or college students to live within a different circumstance to where their expenses are cut exponentially. This is if housing expenses or previous plans cannot be cut or implemented (Maybe this can be a plan that a person can later pay for by paying taxes).

40.   (maybe) Promote the renovation and job expansion to old and forgotten towns, if their community approves. Allow small towns to petition and possibly implement their own unique features that can be made functional in cooperation to universal laws. This is to make small towns more attractive and open to trying new ideas to expand personal freedoms and lifestyles. For example, a small town petitioning then implementing their own traditions or ethical lifestyles. A crazy idea such as a town desiring to be like the renaissance fair where this becomes the norm.

41. Invest in infrastructure, such as the renovations of roads and bridges. I would also incorporate new technologies such as solar powered electronic roads throughout America. I would put all power lines underground in a secure, protected, and accessible enclosure beside roads. I would also invest in the design of more scenic routes, highway art, and other ideas that could make traveling exciting outside city limits; for example, using road bumps to play music, using side rails to display animated graphics, or decorate tunnel systems. I would also invest in paved paths that run from city to city throughout the United States for people to travel by foot or bicycle. 

42. I would invest in machines that filter pollution from cities and turn them into sources of energy or fuels. 
43. I would invest in public-use underground hyper transport systems. 
44. I would focus on developing, redesigning, and protecting the grid. 
45. I would make the use of wifi free for everyone throughout the country. 
46. I would allow for the carry of firearms only with a valid permit. Allow for military grade rifles and non-explosive/ projectile weaponry to be sold to the public. Only permit sales and issue permits to carry with the use of extensive background checks and mental illness and criminal evaluations. 

47. Implement a system where people can rent a portion of a city or public location and take care of it or decorate it to their liking. For example, a person rents out a park or a public highway. They can then decorate it or take care of it for a limited number of days before it returns to the city or owner. 
48. For conflicts and problems around the world, I would use technology to survey ideas, decisions, input or ideas made by the general public, groups of philosophers in major universities, and ideas generated by military or political leaders in order to come up with fully functional strategies to help eliminate conflicts and problems around the world. 
49. Replace old military gear, hardware, electronics, machinery, weaponry and vehicles and update it with modern technology. I will also include non electronic components so EMP does not become an issue. 
50. I would make it so that military-like armed forces cannot train or conduct military exercise around public areas, towns, or cities. In the event of civil conflict, such forces cannot engage local militia (militia defined as average or local civil population banning together to protect constitutional rights or patriotic duties). 
51. I would initiate mandatory recycling and refining or reusing of used materials. I would also find new alternatives or develop new technologies for the disposal of harmful substances and materials; or convert these materials into alternative fuels or energies. 
52. I would allow for the disclosure and use of free energy. If the energy industry is harmed by this action then maybe it would be a good idea to have a tax or some sort of payment or return for energy companies (like giving them energy as a form of payment). 
53. (maybe) I would create a new space station or moon base for the further development of space and modern science, space exploration , weapon engineering and entertainment recreations. This idea would also involve the colonization of Mars or Europa. 
54. Further develop medicinal technologies; reexamine current medicines and treatments; provide methods or technologies where individuals can grow or treat their own symptoms (at their expense if desired); and research, discover and rediscover of new medicines and treatments with preexisting and unconventional methods. 
55. Create and allow alternate ways of living and transportation without the use of social security.
66. Maybe create an organization that investigates identity theft, bank account fraud, and other seemingly financial frauds to which law enforcement, banks, and other financial institutions seemingly fail to take action from. The purpose of this organization is to seek, track, and hold to justice those who feed on fraudulence and corruptions.

67. I would remove income tax and have only a flat sales tax with a fixed tax percent for different wealth bracket. 
 

Pursuing Happiness

A recent movie I watched, called The Pursuit of Happyness (2006). This was a movie that moved me so much that it immediately had become one of my favorite movies of all time. The philosophical meaning of the movie is something I will treasure for the rest of my life. To begin, the movie is about a Chris Gardener, played by one of my favorite actors Will Smith, and his son who comes to a point in his life where he struggles to make ends meet and eventually becomes homeless. When things are progressively getting worst Chris Gardener, who is also supporting his son, is constantly fighting for a better life as he struggles to make ends meet. The following quotes that were addressed in this movie, as well as in the book, are more precious to me than gold itself.

“The future was uncertain, absolutely, and there were many hurdles, twists, and turns to come, but as long as I kept moving forward, one foot in front of the other, the voices of fear and shame, the messages from those who wanted me to believe that I wasn't good enough, would be stilled.”

“Others may question your credentials, your papers, your degrees. Others may look for all kinds of ways to diminish your worth. But what is inside you no one can take from you or tarnish. This is your worth, who you really are, your degree that can go with you wherever you go, that you bring with you the moment you come into a room, that can't be manipulated or shaken. Without that sense of self, no amount of paper, no pedigree, and no credentials can make you legit. No matter what, you have to feel legit inside first.”

“It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. No matter what. How did he know that?”

And my most favorite quote:

“Hey. Don't ever let somebody tell you... You can't do something. Not even me. All right?”

“You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period.”

After watching this movie, I can honestly say my life has changed. I look at what others want me to be and do and I decide if it’s right for me. Routinely, I look at where I want to be in life and what I need to do to get there. I will always understand that life will never be easy. There will always be self-doubt and obstacles; however, as long as I can listen and think for myself with clarity, or even have that next step of what needs to be done next, I will continue to work on where I want to be until my goals materialize. When I eventually get there, I imagine the reward will be fruitful and the sacrifice will define my achievement. Until then, it's a bumpy ride.

My Passion for Jrock and Visual Kei

Roughly around 65% of the time when I’m not doing anything or waiting, I’m humming, singing to myself, or playing a song in my head. More than likely it’s Jrock (Japanese Rock or Visual Kei). I have a colossal passion for Japanese rock. I love the beat, the pace, the rhythm, the fashion, the culture, and expression behind the music. When I’m in the shower, I often daydream about being in a Visual Kei band where I’m mostly the singer or on the bass, drums, or guitar. I have developed this passion ever since I began highschool. I use to use Limewire and Kazaa to download the latest and greatest bands rising in Japan. For those familiar with Jrock artists, this was when Larc en ciel became popular, Gazette was raising in popularity. Miyavi stared in a movie, and Dir en Grey was new where Kyo was wearing his white crazy dress shirt and black tie.

When I talk to people that dislike Visual Kei, it mainly for the reason that their guys look like girls and their girls look like guys. However, for someone who sees beyond the physical appearance and looks at the expression the bands portray, I immediately find myself in a world of creativity, a extremely unique and vibrant and entertaining subculture with amazing personality and freedom, with downright hypnotizing, psychotic, and fascinatingly unmatched music that portrays emotions, story, and poetry.

In conclusion, it would be a dream come to true if I could be performing and singing on stage doing the crazy awesome things popular Jrock artists do. Having listened to so many bands and having so many ideas for music, I believe I would never stop making songs and would probably never retire. I would go down singing even in my grave. 

Personality Defects

I personally have a disbelief in the idea of social mental disorders. I believe such mental challenges are personality defects. By socially mental disorder, I mean individuals that act awkward, cannot communicate effectively, have some sort of perceived mental disability or are perceived as socially awkward. Although mental disorders are relevant in the mind, I believe an individual should not be judged or judge themselves based on the idea of being mentally defected. I believe if one perceives themselves as being socially mentally defected will acts or become influenced by their condition and will never have the opportunity to better themselves or get out from that disabled mindset. I believe by thinking one is socially mentally defected they will set themselves up to staying that way if not getting worst over time. For this reason I want to state this condition as a personality disorder, because by looking at it from this angle one will see they do have control over their actions and behavior and can influence a change in themselves to make themselves more socially engaging.

I also believe that those who feel extremely socially awkward should also take in the consideration to be very polite to others. Being polite allows for a sense of humility which puts the perceived individual on such a level that allows them to be socially accepted.  When I meet a person for the first time I can become very shy. Often when I become very shy I cannot communicate effectively. In fact I rather just nod or not say anything at all. When I do say something, I try to be very polite. I do this to distance my insecurities. It also shows humility which can be very influential in some cases. When I become too tired, I also find myself lacking in communication. When this happens I try to retreat in conversation, otherwise I feel like I would be lying, hiding something, or I’m uncertain of myself. I’m not sure why this is, I could perceive this as a neurological disorder, but with a change in environment or attaining of new stimuli I find myself breaking out of that habit. I think this could be a great example of me seeing this as a personality disorder and using that idea to change my mindset.

If I may extend to discussing something more personal regarding the topic, I do find this as an insecurity when looking at females or interacting with peers and individuals of greater status than myself. If I may add more about how I feel towards females, I would like to state that I do feel torn between two worlds when it comes to desiring a female. I feel like I should have a companion in life that extends the outreach of having pleasure in life; however, at the same time I feel like I don’t want to be a burden in someone else’s life by bringing them misery. I feel as if they can always find a better person then me. For this I accept the idea of staying alone and having the desire to devote my efforts in my goals, travels, and my career.

Getting Out

Stated in a previous post, I described how I was a bit of an introvert. However, an event happened to me that had gotten me to see thing differently, pulling me away from my usual comforts. I see this now as an extremely effective method to get introverts, like myself, to get out of their comfort zone; perhaps getting antisocial individuals to want to go out and socialize; and for the average individual to see their environment in a new perspective and to even look at themselves deep inside and possibly change their perception about the mental environment in which they can also be considered introverts. What is this method you ask? It’s simple. It’s traveling.

By traveling, I got the feel of how small the world really is. When I was living in Houston Texas, I felt insignificant. It felt people were always better than me, in competition with me, or that I was living in a habitat designed for me to be, feel, and live the same way as everyone else. After I traveled, all of that changed. From Houston, we drove all the way to Kingman Arizona to visit relatives. While we were there, we traveled around to Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon, Sedona, through Sadona’s epic scenic route, Lake Havasu and various other places. It was an epic adventure that opened my mind as I enjoyed interacting with the extremely friendly locals, taking hundreds pictures, and feeling free just being myself and having a great time. One of the most notable things for me was how close we were to the sky. When I was in Houston, the sky seemed so distant and vast. It made the world feel colossal in size making me feel tiny and insignificant. In Arizona, it’s as if you could climb a mountain to experience what it’s like to be above the clouds. For some reason this made me feel very comfortable and free. Furthermore, being in a different environment has changed me a lot. Now that I am back in Houston, I realize how much of an illusion it seems to be confined to such a small urban area. In addition to that, I find the people here with somewhat of the same confined-mindset. Reflecting upon how I felt and how I continue to feel, I believe if others were to travel more often, preferably by car, they would get a sense of how small the world actually is, how greatly significant they are, how their urban environment can be seen as somewhat of an confined-institution. By traveling, I believe they can learn things about themselves that can be completely life changing. In conclusion, I believe everyone should travel at least once or twice a year to some place far away from their usual environment; so that they can see and experience new things, meet new people, and learn about uniquely different life styles.

The Governing of Humanity

If humanity is ever to establishing an interstellar community, they would need to rethink their current mindset of how they coexist living with each other. I have come up with what I believe is the best fundamental system for such an idea. I think humanity should be governed by two principles of ethics: the principle of himself and the principles of society. The principle of himself is the set of ethics in which the individual learns to critically think about the understanding of what is right and wrong through their own initiative. They learn a sense of personal-abiding morals in which they utilize to live harmoniously with themselves. The principles of society is the set of universal ethics in which an individual utilizes an understanding as well as a personal moral obligation towards coexisting harmoniously with family and other members of society. Utilizing these two principles, I believe an individual, as well as society as a whole, can govern itself. However, until then the use of morals taught through religious practices is necessary as society has still yet to learn benevolence or to utilize critical thinking for the rest of the good of their species.

Self-driving Cars

For those who’ve seen batman, I’m pretty sure you remember his self-driving auto-fetching vehicles and how it would be there to catch him when he jumps from tall buildings. Reflecting upon this idea, I had a thought of how useful this idea would be to physically have. Imagine driving to work and your family member needs your car. You could simply use a GPS, mobile device, or perhaps even a button on the car’s key chain to remotely activate a retrieve function where the vehicle would return to a designated location, thus allowing the transportation for another member without physically picking them up. Although, self-driving systems for cars using GPS is not new, when it is finally utilized it would be a useful feature to have in any car.

In addition to having cars having the ability to remotely return to previous destinations, when on the road and feeling tired, he or she could have the car automatically drive to their destination, pull over to the side of the road, park itself, parallel park itself, and even fuel itself.

Taking the step further, it would be a great idea to have a reasonable number of taxi-like vehicles or busses where the vehicle can be driven to designated locations on their own. It would be a good idea to have such vehicles run on electricity so that they could have charging stations designated specifically for those vehicles when they are not in use or when required. I think busses with this system would be a good idea for the safety of children getting to school routinely.

Wrapping up the article, I think in the close future vehicles will involve self-driving systems along with regular driving vehicles.

Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) Chips

I agree that biomechanical technology is an impressive innovation for our generation. I believe it has great potential in the distant future. However, in our present time in history I see more harm than good. The way I see it is that primarily it’s impractical. It seems pointless to implant a device into your body with limited capabilities. The next negative aspect is that it’s in your body. If a more new technology were to come out, it would be a terrible or potentially dangerous idea to try and remove it from the body. Then there is the problem of having it damaged and replaced. Removing it and replacing will most likely be difficult compared to implanting the chip. The next problem that could arise is what if the chip shows harmful effects, such as cancer, bacterial infection or some sort of allergic reaction during the implant phase or the long term duration of having the chip inside a person’s body. My final problem is addressing the controversial topic of the existence of this chip. It’s obvious that many individuals are drawn to the conspiracy of the mark of the beast and how it could lead to being used as a brainwashing device or a device used for monitoring or tracking purposes. I believe because we’re in an age of controversial political agendas, it would be most wise to avoid such an implant because the intentions of such life-influencing and privacy desiring government agencies can be seen as being kept secret and their agendas unknown.

Mind Control

I fear mind control is very possible. If our mind is a series of millions of electro-neurological impulses happening simultaneously, then it is indeed possible for one’s mind to be hijacked. I theorize there could be methods to hijack an individual’s brain with the use of light, sound, frequency, or even radio waves, forcing an individual to enter a hypnotic-like state or to be sent false, manipulated and uncontrollable subconscious neurological commands. Perhaps it’s a good idea to start making laws in order to prevent such an event where an organization can utilize mind control technology in order to control their targets. In an age where neurologists are mapping out the brain with precision, it's a good idea to prevent what could potentially be a method for control or even devastation.
