Halloween post - a value in chanting?; Life Expectancy math; "Luce" a new Vatican cartoon character; the Vatican symbology; and Political Ponerology and psychopathy.
School's not out yet, we're revisiting Arithmetic class with the math involved in calculating a Life Expectancy average age for a population. and Bruce Lee for 'Spelling' class.
Halloween no longer seems happy to me, after finding out it really is a season of ritual sacrifice and missing homeless people or kids. Happy day to you all anyway.
The Vatican has released an adorable anime style cartoon character, winning fans of cartoons. I burst someone's bubble when they shared the cartoon with a statement suggesting it would likely be made into Fan art. So, I replied with a variation.
I added this altered inage with no additional text:
…and I got a confused response asking why/what?. The character's name is Luce. I was informed that Luce means Light. I responded that Lucifer means Light Bearer.
The cartoon character Luce has blood-marked shoes …as if walking in a torture room with bloody floors perhaps…. I didn't share that with the anime cartoon appreciator, who likes the character it turns out, but I did wake up with the character on my mind this morning. I had forgotten about the shoes until I looked at the image again and started working on this post *This had been part of the 1812 and 1913 sections initially and it was already long so I removed a lot to here.
Zachary King, former High Wizard, turned whistleblower and Carholic convert, says praying the rosary was effective at delaying three abortions long enough for the baby to be born. Yet, the Vatican and Catholic Church are hiding darkness at top levels. 🤔 A Christmas event at the Vatican with this Pope was Satanic in its imagery, including a horned masked executioner holding a shield and a spear or scimitar of sorts.
Other decorative features (Is that a demon behind the Pope?, catholic.com) or architectural features of the building at the Vatican are also very Satanic.
“Can anyone explain why the Paul VI Hall has the shape of the head of a snake? There are no crucifixes, and a sculpture of Jesus rising up from a nuclear explosion in the holocaust does not look like Jesus but rather the devil. Did the Pope or Vatican do this on purpose? (reddit.com)
Evil takeover doesn't necessarily mean that faiHerr. people praying the rosary in the ancient style are now evil too. An evil human Pope wouldn't have power over the energy-being known as the Blessed Mother Mary.
But donating money to the Vatican may be a bad idea. …
The Vatican uses donation money to make bloody footed cartoons that may fool children and anime lovers into trusting their intentions are cute and ‘light’, rather than being part of international child trafficking. Or it might be trying to accustom us into accepting that there is both light and dark - to accept that some children are to be protected, while others are to be tortured and eaten - and that is so cute, like cartoons!
Positives of the Catholic religion seem to exist - the truly faithful may be working with energy beings who are positive rather than demanding child sacrifice like Baal, Moloch or Baphomet.
I think chanting the rosary, or “Our heavenly Father, hallowed by thy name...” (The Lord’s Prayer), or some other types of chanting may help to keep out more evil mental manipulation.
In a spiritual battle, disrupting the helpful patterns of worship may be a goal. During the worse of my mental problems, I had to stop listening to pop music radio as it is repetitive in a negative way and worsened my problems with verbal repetitive breakdowns.
During the episodes of lost control, I learned to substitute repeating to myself either “calm, serene, rational” (hoping to reach that state again), or The Lord's Prayer. My brain was stuck on repeat, like a scratched old fashioned music record, and I couldn't just stop the verbal onslaught, but I learned to substitute less horrible words…
I broke the pop-music brain washing by chanting other things instead — but also by turning off the media. It is insidious I learned. Repetitive messages sink into the brain even if rationally you don't believe them.
‘Spelling’ class with Bruce Lee as our instructor:
“Don't speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn't know the difference. Words are energy and they cast spells, that's why it's called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself, and you can change your life.” ― Bruce Lee, via G_d wins, (x.com/haz_doge)

Video and movies are dangerous to us because our real memories are also video like. Reality and falseness can get mixed up in our memories. Did that really happen? Or was it Memorex? (*Old person joke, TV commercial reference).
The history of national medical care practices and expenses vs national life expectancy is also worth thinking about:
»»» It is a real puzzler as to why the US has the worst life expectancy . . . while also having the highest medical expenditure of other developed nations. Almost seems to suggest that the US medical system is harmful to human life 🤔
A related 2016 post of mine - was also related to the presidential campaign: The U.S. scores on the 2016 Social Progress Index have dropped, (transcendingsquare.com).
More Arithmetic class … Life expectancy and calculating the sum and the average of a number set.
When babies are lost to “SIDS” it has a bigger math impact on the life expectancy average than when a 50 or 60-year-old dies. When hundreds of thousands of children disappear, that also has a bigger impact on our average life expectancy than when a middle-aged person dies earlier than age 70 or greater. When government bonuses encourage mass losses in Nursing homes and hospitals though, there could be a larger impact on the average life expectancy age.
People who live to be 80, 90 or 100 are helping to increase the number of the average life expectancy age.
Extra data points of zeros added to a set of numbers from 0 to 100, would bring down the average from 50, while adding more 100s, would bring the average up from 50.
{0+1+2+3+4…100} sum = 5050, number of datapoints is 101.
(Brave AI) shows us how to do that (hopefully correctly):
S = n(n+1)/2,except adjust for the zero, which is typically not included in a number series equation. 1 is expected as the first datapoint:S = (100/2)(1 + 100) - 0 + 0,simplify that equation to:S = 50 × 101 - 0,and sum:S = 5050)We can calculate the average then as 50. An average takes the total of a group (5050) and divides it by the number of datapoints in the group (101) to reach the average of the group of numbers: 5050/101 = 50
{0+0+0+0+1+2+3+4+….100} If we add 3 extra zeros, the sum is still 5050 — so why would we bother to do that? . . . Answer: If the group of data represents a group of people who all died at different ages plus some extra ‘zeros’ then those zeros represent extra babies who didn’t make it to age one. They still.count as a life lost - which is our dataset.
When calculating an average life expectancy age of a group - the age of death of the individual people in the group are the data points. An infant dying under the age of one would add a zero to the life expectancy equation.
5050/104 = 48.56 is the average age of this group of people who died.
Life expectancy is not based on the number of alive people in a larger group. It looks at age at death of a group of people who have died in that nation, during that time period. Nations with a life expectancy nearer the 50s likely has 100-year-olds living and dying in the population too, but it probably has a lot more deaths of infants and early childhood occurring, than a nation with a life expectancy of 70 or 80.
{0+1+2+3+4+….100+100+100+100} If we add 3 extra 100 year-olds to our data set, the average life expectancy goes up to a higher number than 50 … The easy method math, (count it on our fingers)… 5050+100+100+100 = 5350/104 = 51.44

Political Ponerology, is an excellent Substack (introduction) to psychopathy and modern-day society, which was recommended by Anonymous Anomalous in replies here, thanks! 25 Predatory Tactics- (Substack).
Ponerology is the study of evil, or the science of evil and is considered both a multi-disciplinary science and a branch of theology. Political Ponerology is about work of Andrew M. Łobaczewski and looks at how psychopaths, as evil leaders and role models, can affect a society and increase psychopathy among the group.
“A new edition of Political Ponerology, by Andrew M. Łobaczewski, edited by Harrison Koehli, is now available on Amazon.1 This strange and provocative book argues that totalitarianism is the result of the extension of psychopathology from a group of psychopaths to the entire body politic, including its political and economic systems. Political Ponerology is essential reading for concerned thinkers and all sufferers of past and present totalitarianism. It is especially crucial today, when totalitarianism has once again emerged, this time in the West, where it is affecting nearly every aspect of life, including especially the life of the mind.”
The Science of Evil: A Personal Review of Political Ponerology, by Michael Rectenwald, Mises Wire, (mises.org).
That makes sense - if the role models and policy writers are evil/psychopathic, then they are guiding the young and old in examples of evil behavior - imitation happens, and they may be mandating evil behavior in policies that the public or workers have to follow or else risk being censured or punished in some way. I was a government worker, and agency program director, so I saw what good and bad policy requirements can do to the staff or consumers who are affected - and wrote a website/book draft on the topic:
The first 12 pages of my effectivecare.info site are about human instincts and how policy can be written that works with our innate codes of behavior instead of working against our innate expectations and leading to the policy never being followed, or it being taken advantage of or manipulated in some way. (effectivecare.info/)
More general human nature business related topic - policies or bonus systems for a workplace can really backfire because there will be a natural inclination to get more of the reward, and therefore, a tendency to manipulate the data in some way, to appear worth receiving the extra reward.
Anything that is a ‘widget’ of data and is collected or rewarded or punished in some way,
will also become a unit of cheating in some way.
A basic rule of thumb about human nature and policy/rule writing is to be careful about what you ask. It can backfire in dramatic and unexpected ways. Regarding “performance measurements” (thethrivingsmallbusiness.com) for example - whatever you track is likely to have some people manipulating the count. What you reward will increase in count, but might not increase in reality - roughly.
Reference - varied business sources. Including the book “In Search of Excellence: Lessons from America’s Best-Run Companies” (1982), co-authored by Tom Peters and Robert H. Waterman Jr.. (1982 ed. Amazon) (Updated 2004 edition, Amazon)
Why to write policies and procedures for a business - increases quality and consistency of products and customer service and once you them, it is easy to use to train new employees. It can save time streamlining routine tasks into the most efficient steps or for desired quality standards. 8 Reasons To Write Business Policies and Procedures, By Patricia Lotich, MBA, April 9, 2020, (thethrivingsmallbusiness.com).
People will modify their behavior to do more or less of whatever affects the data widget - that is likely the policy goal, but sometimes the adapted behavior isn’t really meeting management’s needs, or there is outright cheating to affect that data unit to meet expected goals or standards (example: car emission numbers by VW engineers, “Dieselgate”, Brave AI summary).

Glad you find ponerology of interest Jennifer! Most welcome.
My parents used to live in Lake Lure NC, about an hour from the mansion. Visited there many times. The pool in the basement level is truly a creepy place. Astounding place overall. It’s unimaginable that some live like that. Just huge! Look up pics of the library which occupies one whole end. An average house could fit in there. 😵💫
Keep up the great research Jennifer! 🙏💖
