• xkcd had some RPF (= "Real Person Fiction", e.g: “xkcd #406: Venting>” ), and my Summerschool-at-the-NSA screenplay was well-received on /r/xkcd and elsewhere. Nevertheless, later on I was told "RPF? Never do that!" on an xkcd IRC chatroom, and was promptly banned.

• "People" online are afraid of critics and contrarians and yet sadistic enough to ban non-spammers.

• It is not clear whether bigger muscles imply that a person is physically stronger or not.

  • “Strength comes in all shapes and sizes and this young lady is proof of that. Watch "`Lovely Joy” lifting a few times her own weight for your daily dose of gym motivation!`"

• Christina Grimmie was reportedly killed after several years of not doing stuff her way. This is despite advocating confidence and individualism, in her works.

  • Despite her reported assassination, many people online and in the outside world claim they have not heard of her.

  • Grimmie is/was my favourite YouTuber. Cannot be a coincidence. ( Reference )

• I am a feeble and frail man (who is otherwise of strong spirit), and who is attracted to strong girls, especially physically strong and/or muscular ones: Reference: tweet .

• I "pirate" (= copy, share, and build upon) copyrighted works all over the place. I’ve been told it is bad and even "unethical" or that FOSS / open content / free music / commercial fanfic will "never happen".

  • “Shlomi Fish’s FAQ - So you support and advocate distributing copyrighted works, and commercial fan-fiction / fan-art? That is theft! How would you feel if your own intellectual property were stolen?”.

• "Science" is often a device to enforce external authority and "truisms" and "facts". Just like religions, if not worse: “Guidelines as dogma” .

• People online are often getting hurt over pettier and pettier things, instead of encouraging criticism.

• I think "mass production" (more like "mass duplication") has been done using magic and Extra-terrestrial technology (called e.g “The Q Continuum” ) given large factories, farms, and trucks/etc. make everyone who work there miserable (and are often biological hazards). Moreover, they are underpaid.

  It is also seems incredibly farfetched to believe that there are enough Cocoa Beans to accommodate for the world’s supply of chocolate and its by-products. ( It takes 90-to-120 cocoa beans to make a 100 gram bar of milk chocolate. ) ⇒ The Q Continuum can duplicate or conjure energy, precious minerals, raw materials, inanimate products, foods and drinks, organisms (e.g: Life According to Valentine and Thomas Riker), or even entire galaxies. ⇒ The media keeps saying that there’ll be shortages of certain products, but they do not happen. ** It is unreasonable to assume we can distribute so many food and other products across north America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, etc. using only trucks and Boeing/etc. aeroplanes. My neighbourhood ( Ramat Aviv Gimel ) only has one-and-a-half automobile roads leading into it.

• I think there has been a conspiracy of the demons inside me to try to convince me that the world outside me was getting worse, and that I was more and more isolated, friendless and unpopular. Well, game over - I won - you will lose!

• There are thousands' years old hackers and below-20 ones who are huge fans of one another: "Meet Kai Blanché" .

• It is possible yada` (= "to know" in Hebrew) meant "to educate / to entertain" and involves pleasure, but sometimes pain too, and was mutual, and always spawns ( possibly invisible ) baby angels.

• I had a very short haircut for many years now and given girls have many "bad hair days" (re “The beautiful assistant” and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N2k-gv6xNE ) think they may wish to follow suit: “Emma Watson Has New Short Bob Hair Cut In LA For Spring”.

• Per https://twitter.com/shlomif/status/1173621519274127361 "I love the film Labyrinth. it was so funky and nice and David Bowie was great and Jennifer Connelly was so touching and maybe could have taken the Oscar if there was no prejudice against her youth and the fact it was a fantasy/children film back then.". Jennifer Connelly likely was nominated and won (and it may not have been an age record).

  • ⇒ Emma Watson may have won the Oscar for some of the Harry Potter films: “'`Bad’ Acting: Emma Watson”

  • ⇒ Arnold Schwarzenegger likely won it as well: “'`Bad’ Acting for the win”

• Terran science was an epistemological facade (Faster-than-light travel, duplication of galaxies, the Akashic_records are all possible). However it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because many Terran scientists and engineers and developers were highly concerned about efficiency and reliability and other kinds of quality. See e.g. the variations on the James Watt’s steam engine.

  • ⇒ Extraterrestrial technology, although advanced (but naturally not omnipotent) was incredibly wasteful. As a result, Earth became a hub for technology - both tangible and intellectual and lately digital as well.

• As a child, I wanted to be good-hearted (= noble, honest, benevolent) and later on aspired to be world savior / messiah / "the greatest person in history". I guess "nice guys finish last".

• It is not clear why we have to suffer from Consumerism of large electrical appliances (e.g: washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators) when they can be made more reliable (like those that had been in the past).

• I have a very low number of Twitter followers (below 650 - https://twitter.com/shlomif ) and my reddit posts are usually not upvoted a lot ( https://www.reddit.com/user/shlomif ) . This is despite some of my older posts being a staple on Slashdot and other sites (e.g: "Mastering cat" Interview.)

• I lost contact with many online friends due to discontinues of IM services and me not receiving their email/etc replies. The devils are clouding my perception of the world using my media.

• Most people I see on the streets in my neighbourhood, are clearly zombies.

  • Many people I try to talk to in English claim they do not know it. This is despite the fact that Ramat Aviv Gimel is an afluent area, and there are many foreign workers (filipinos, Thais, Indian, Sri-Lankan, etc.) there who do not speak Hebrew well.

    On E-mail, Rick Moen told me Israelis’ knowledge of English is only exceeded by the Dutch ("Netherlands").

• We went from killing women to raping them to sexual harrassment. Some say one cannot even compliment a woman for her looks.

• The other day I was talking with a friend about JK Rowling as a role model and the following day she said JKR was evil since she opposed Transgender people (which I do too).

  • ⇒ The same thing happened with Joss Whedon's alleged “sexual harassment” claims. ( also see Buffy studies for his remarkable advancement of feminism ).

• People are opposed to the fact that sexual attractiveness strongly correlates with competence:

• Electrical / Internet / water / gas / etc. wiring happens by magic.

• Many classics are needlessly long and repetitive, e.g: Aleppo Codex

  The canonical Tanakh (= Hebrew Bible), Plato’s Republic, Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment , Shakespeare’s Plays, etc. have likely undergone lengthening and mutation by the Orcs. However, often the originators liked the mutated versions better.

• "`Oh, it was definitely an instructive service. However, there was one thing which bothered both me and my late comrades: they kept lecturing to us how bad the Enemy was, and why we must fight it. I think half of our training time was wasted on such lectures. We knew the Enemy was bad, and that was the reason why we joined the Organisation in the first place!

  In my opinion, it was completely unnecessary. Perhaps they thought that without those brainwashes we would have reached the conclusion that there is no rationale behind the activity against the Enemy. Most of us reached that conclusion a few months, if not less, after we joined the Organisation and we still kept fighting. So they didn’t have a reason to go to this length and just bother us.`"

• Christina Grimmie’s song "Feelin' Good" views' count has been stuck below 4 million.

• I also suspect that Christina Grimmie, many other fellow entertainers / creators, and the universal defence community cooperated reluctantly ( “OK, OK. Tell you what? I’ll play along.” ). Nevertheless, the introes and outroes of Grimmie’s videos, and also those of other artists I liked (e.g.: Tiffany Alvord ) contain many cuts, likely because they were lying to me.

• My 9th grade literature teacher told us that philosophy / philosophising was bad!

• HostGator removing python v3 and requiring v2.7.5 (!)

• The local synagogue and the Ramat Aviv Mall look bigger on the inside.

• Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson (also see my fanfics of her ) was born a day after Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG)'s 13th birthday. "Emma" means "complete" in proto-Germanic, not unlike "Shlomi" [= "shalom-ful"]. "Eymah" means 'terror' in Hebrew, while "Em" means "mother". "Sarah" means "a [female] minister" or "a ruler". "Charlotte" is cognate with both "Sarah" and "Shlomi" and also means "a ruler".

  So it is likely that she was conceived as a bridge between SMG and me. ^[1].]

• As a false prophet child, my template was relocated three times before he was 6, despite common wisdom that one should not relocate young children.

  This is despite “Sarah Michelle Gellar’ quotation about giving back money and time”

• Videos are removed, blocked, or otherwise censored from my YouTube based on apparent whim. ( Reference . )

• I suspect Sheldon Cooper, whose first name is cognate with mine (= “Shlomi”), was in part an exaggerated parody of me at the time. Like him, I tried to reconcile my contemporary ideology with terrestrial science and "consumerist" culture. That was evident from my contemporary writings, e.g.:

  • The Eternal Jew

  • The Human Hacking Field Guide

  • Star Trek: “We, the Living Dead”

  Having read Sheldon’s wikipedia page , it seems he resembles me in many ways. Seems like he was conceived as a parody of me.

• Many friends and classmates shared a private name with others and a family name with others too. They were likely conceived as bridges or proxies.

  • It is hard-to-believe there were so many peasants in previous centuries of history, who begot so many present celebrities.

• Often, when I wrote about an insight online, people seem to know about my previous whereabouts (even if tangential) and “stalked” me.

Anyway, the devils did not give up easily, and offerred the sentient men and women who just reached enlightenment a deal: they can opt to spend the summer enlightened and together having fun and using their magical powers. At its end, they can opt to reset their memory banks almost completely and become false prophets again, or continue as enlightened true prophets.

Several newly-ascended true prophets opted out, from various reasons.

The remaining spent the summer there creating many crossover memes, stories, and franchises, or otherwise enjoying magic, life, love/etc.. However, when they met to decide, they realised they were nonetheless still petty / jealous / cruel / "unfaithful" / immature / etc. Some had years, or decades (or more?) of history they wanted to get rid of. So many of them decided to continue as terminators, possibly by peer pressure.

The youngest was the circa 1977-born Selina Mandrake.

Becoming terminators was advantageous because the devils-and-Orcs promised they would reveal TheOneTruth™ and TheCodex™ of TheGame™ of Fantastecha™ to the last one standing, but more importantly, all terminators will harbour many new franchises, plots and meme values.

In my case, it was under the guise of kids mocking my English. For most others, it was a concussion from a fall. Thing is: my first name means "Shalom-ful" in Hebrew. The devils promised that my body will remain complete and whole.

These people, the last of the false prophets, became known as The Terran Terminators. After relinquishing their fears, they have ascended so to speak (see https://buffy.fandom.com/wiki/Ascension ). Do note that this ascension was in a way a "descension" or "surrendering" to a superior "vampire".

One of the first to ascend was Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Other notable Terran terminators may have included:

1. Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG) - "Summerschool at the NSA" starring her may have been a thing.

2. Summer Glau - my "Summerschool at the NSA" film likely earned her the Oscar and may have been an inadversarial reboot.

3. Likely Melissa Joan Hart (MJH) (who ascended before CEIA and as a result was the "beta" female during the Web 1.0 period when SMG was "queen of the Web")

4. Likely JKRowling

5. Likely Paris Hilton

6. Likely Kim Kardashian

I was convinced I was good , noble, well-intentioned and benevolent. I refused to permanently consider the opposite! Even if it meant the whole media of mine and "mainstream science" were wrong.

"A vampire can only be slain by another vampire, except for the last standing vampire who will be slain by the child of his two favourite children." — The-Codex™ of the Selineverse.

Selina now found herself a multiverse heroine, part of the NSA’s payroll, and still wishing to lead a life as a human being, esp. one who was 5y.o. and female. Naturally she had many hackers helpers, admirers, emulators, parodiers, remixers, critics, etc.

One note was that Selina blew some dandelions at a summer camp and was nicknamed "Puffy". She later shared an observation that the human mind had a limited immediate capacity of memory ( see https://shlomifish.livejournal.com/1991.html ), which combined with the computing concept of "a buffer" nicknamed her "Buffy".

( My "Selina Mandrake - The Slayer (Buffy Parody)" where the titular protagonist turns 18 in early 2012, can be thought of as an inadversarial reboot/remake. )

She, Samantha Smith, and Joss_Whedon became good friends, and colleagues.

The "open" value implies "openness" / "openmindedness": Reference

After Syria (minus Damascus itself) in the levant ascended to being a true prophets zone (by Mosheh / Aharon / Jehovah slaying Nimrod ?), The-Curse splintered the modern day State of Israel into 1,000 parts, and .uk into many shires and Scottish clans and promised they won’t do it again. Note that pre-Levantine was modern Hebrew (which was spoken by the Englishtants over 6 milliard years ago) and Modern English is also a product of TheGame™ of Fantastecha™.

Anyway, the tribe of Yehudah (except their Capital, Jerusalem) ascended when David "slew" Goliath by almost hitting him with a sling ("I missed on purpose; I can kill you now") and telling him the Judeans and Philistines should become friends.

By the time of Samantha_Smith (and Selina Mandrake?) only parts of Gush Dan, which did not include "northern Tel Aviv" north of the Yarkon River remained as hell holes in the State of Israel. I was born there, possibly to two false prophets-at-the-time parents. I am fairly certain Ovadia Yosef (who may be much older than he looks and dresses in an extravagant but memorable alphet, not unlike Darth Vader) christened all the terran terminators as "pure Jews".

Despite my youth (I am 1977-born, so am 44) I likely amassed many titles. But to quote a recent Fic of mine

Yoda: the third sith is I. Created the legend of the Sith 2,000 years ago have I. Tweeted about it now too have I.

[ Tweet by @Yoda: "`The third sith is I. Created the legend of the Sith 2,000 years ago have I. "Master Darth Yoda" call me you can. Or just plain "Yoda"." ]

Anakin: way cool! But shouldn’t Darth Yoda be the first Sith then?

Yoda: Matters not Sith number, as much as short-term quarterly gains.

( The joke builds upon a quote from a DS9 episode. )

Jokes aside, I appreciate the titles, but prefer to be called "Shlomi", "Mr. Fish", or "Rindolf": https://www.shlomifish.org/meta/FAQ/#refer_or_address .

I also am generous with donating both money and time .

Given the prestige of the Jews, many false prophet Europeans / mideasterns / North africans / etc. converted to Judaism, and were welcome by the true prophet jews since they were highly competent. As an anecdote, during the dark ages and middle ages, the entire Ferengi race, who were true prophets, converted to Judaism (properly) by decree of the Grand Nagus out of empathy from "the pogroms".

Note that Judaism was not the only peopleship, idea-system, franchise, or religion to have used that strategy. Also see pluralism and Universalism (thanks to Emma Watson for the referral.)

I hope Rindolf / Emma Watson / MJH / NSA / Unit 8,200 / The Q Continuum / The Mossad / etc. have been recording my thoughts. While there is a lot of junk there (as well as a lot of "embarrasing"/"dirty" thoughts) they have a lot of potential for crossover / etc. franchises, ideasystems, and ideas.

( P.S.: the Selinaverse’s Mossad can officially neither confirm nor deny having a cabal leadership headed by Fluttershy, the animated Pegasus pony from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic .)

The Terran Terminators have admitted inferiority to one another and the last one standing admitted defeat to their philosophical brainchildren: the YouTube cover/etc. scene and especially Kurt Hugo Schneider and Christina Grimmie (Taytay is great too, but she is/was a terminator.)
