Plastic is a TOUGH one.
Why is that? Because it’s ‘like’ an element in terms of Kabbalah teachings, but it’s not.
It’s like Earth, but it’s not.
It’s like Water, but it’s not.
It comes from Fire, but it doesn’t really.
Carbon makes plastic, but carbon is also in the air.
It’s aggravating to classify.
So, let’s give it the ol’ college try. Walk through it with me here, and maybe together we might find something serviceable…
Plastic. How do work?
A big thing about plastic is that it melts before it burns. When all is said and done, that’s really its defining characteristic. That attribute allows you to melt it into a liquid or paste, not have it burn, and then inject it into any shape mold you can think of.
Alternative, things like Aluminum and Titanium, when in raw ore form, burn before they melt. It’s only with vacuum smelting with argon gas that we broke through and got to be able to use them as materials realistically.
Back to plastic, though, and we see a material that is objectively modern in its use. Before the modern petroleum-based plastics we have today, most plastic-like alternatives ran the gambit from bone, ivory, shellac, resin, and other animal or plant based products. There simply wasn’t an alternative.
Plastics were rare, if not completely unheard of, before the advent of neoprene rubber, polymers and all subsequent formulations. Bakelite and other such formulas did exist, but they still had the critical flaw in the burning and melting points being far too close to one another. Once cast, Bakelite can’t be remolded. It just burns, because the compounds involved would have gone though too much stress to survive another bake. They also couldn’t survive being turned into large panels, so most Bakelite items ended up being pens, glasses frames, knobs, buttons, etc. Anything larger than the palm of your hand had a 10-year shelf life before it just self-imploded.
Which means, in terms of Comms, the associate mirror has to also be a conception of the modern age. Unless we count plastic’s number one use as a container.
Before plastic we had glass and paper. Metal too, but that’s expensive and reactive to food/drink.
You wanted to “contain” something? A liquid? You either had to learn how to blow glass or collect a hell of a lot of beeswax and lather some thick, chunky paper with it.
So, in terms of narrowing down what “plastic” is, we have to also consider the glass and paper that came before it. No better circumstance exists than at the check-out counter where you might hear the all-too antiquated words “Paper or plastic?”
Paper bags or plastic bags? Interchangeable.
Can you not make a cup out of either glass, plastic, or paper?
Which holds water best? Which worse?
Water = Information, right?
So, at the very least, whatever plastic is in Comms, it refers to something that enables the transfer of information. A “carrier”, if you will.
A carrier that tolerates heat better than paper, but not as well as glass.
A carrier that can be molded into far more than either paper or glass.
A carrier that doesn’t decay, can burn under the right heat, and piles up in the water making it hard for animals to survive.
Petroleum oil-based…
So, what is Plastic?
Plastic is Data
That’s my estimate, and I’m stickin’ to it.
It’s very vague. It has to be, because it’s become so ubiquitous.
Plastic is malleable.
Like data, you can “manipulate it” to fit your mold — to lie with statistics:
Historically, glass’s primary purpose outside of a bar was for the use of alembics in the procurement of tonics and other scientific pursuits. Science = Glassware. Any chemist worth his salt likely has taken a blowtorch to a glass vessel of some description. Associated with such logistic pursuits, is the logging of results — what we know now as Data.
Whereas the past relied upon logs and research, we now rely upon data and statistics as an evolution of understanding the logged information and researched experimentations.
Paper, too, allows one to research, but the scope is limited. Theories in mathematics cannot always take place with scales, weights, or other Goldbergian apparatuses. At that point, you just have to hope your calculations on paper “hold water.”
So, moving forward with the concept of Plastic = Data, what can we decipher in the most common Comms?
Well, since Oil = Liquid Blackmail and plastic is derived from crude oil, Plastic would then be a “byproduct” of using blackmail.
Can data be harvested from used blackmail?
Can you get value out of a story of extortion?
Sure you can.
Blackmail happens, someone is forced to push an article to cover their ass as part of the extortion racket, and what you’re left with is an campaign of articles supporting an action which spun otherwise would be rather unpopular publicly. “We have to push [insert scam here] because if we don’t the data shows we will all die in 5 years!”
Blackmail, fossil fuels (old leverage), is used(burnt) and a story pops out to enact the terms of the ‘agreement.’
It’s a “container” after all. It holds water, it holds information, so isn’t it appropriate to say information can be held in data just as you would say water can be held in plastic cups?
You’re presented a graph, the article distills its meaning, and you receive information.
The data today, as compared to either glass or paper, is a far more ‘artificial’ type.
It doesn’t decay…
This is akin to old articles from news outlets showing data that is now contradicted by new data. That’s “plastic in the ocean.” It’s a discordant mass of irretrievable data that they are forced to host and can only deal with when the contradiction has already been pointed out. Deleting the original article only proves the hypocrisy. You can try to “edit” the article to “correct” the contradictions, equivalent to “recycling” the materials, but just as with plastic it’s simply not worth the cost.
So, they’re stuck with it. Having to clean it up whenever they can get around to it.
Like all the plastic in the water supply.
How ‘bout some examples?
Stories about turtles getting straws stuck in their noses?
Cocaine Turtle Mitch McConnel comes to mind.
The “straw” in the turtle’s nose getting stuck refers to a “post turtle” type of politician getting caught snorting coke somewhere. Probably one so addicted to it they can’t get the straw out of their nose.
When the Media says “We have to ban plastic straws! Only paper straws allowed!” it’s not just a scam to push their family owned paper-straw companies. No, it’s also a call to get the politicians to stop “becoming a statistic” and start using “paper” straws.
Rolled cash snort tubes, anyone?
But, that’s just one possible example.
What else do we got? Something recent…
“Could microplastics found in penises affect fertility and sperm count?”
I mean… that’s as Clown-World as headlines get, really…
What’s really being said here?
Well, in my Sex article I talked about how Sex = Making Deals.
“Microplastics in the penis affecting fertility”
Translates as:
“Extraneous faulty data in your sales pitch might be enough to sabotage your business deal.”
Penis = Sales Pitch / “Pitch a Tent”
They’re lamenting the horrible deal-making economy they’re fighting amidst the death of the Old Guard. Internal trust in the Cabal is at an all-time low.
Basically, in trying to put together a neat and tidy sales pitch portfolio, you pad it with graphs and data to make things look good, but people are getting so strapped for cash that just one tiny error in the dataset is enough to spoil the deal. People, especially within the Cabal, are tired of getting scammed on “sure things.”
Extrapolate that out to the wider economy, and we see that tons of scholarly articles might have faulty or entirely made up data. Data being used to make billion-dollar deals. Despite the money backing it, the reality is that most research experiments cannot be replicated. The Science industry survives by conducting experiments to meet pre-determined results that benefit their employers. Add to that, the majority of articles coming out of Universities and Labs these days now are assumed to utilize some form of generative AI…
It’s bad, really bad.
Too much “plastic in the water.”
With all that data pollution, what’s the goal?
Well, there isn’t one. They’re just working around it. Using it as “cover” and hoping no one notices before they can do the rug pull.
Meanwhile, Trump promises what?
To end Fake News and clean our water?
What if those two things are related?
Crystal Clean Water = Transparent, Reliable Information you can Trust
Can’t you make plastic fruit?
Define: “Fake and gay.”
Like manipulated data, it may look real at first glance. Upon further inspection, however, you realize it’s fake. Fake = Lies. As with plastic fruit, manipulated data isn’t nefarious on its own unless you try to pass it off as real. That’s the problem.
When you check out at the grocery store, and someone asks you “paper or plastic” or “cash or card” remember that the little plastic card you’re swiping or shoving in a hole is really a data-transfer device. It can be manipulated, molded. It’s plastic in more than one way.
It can be made to look like real money, but it isn’t.
It’s fake and gay, just like plastic fruit.
When I thought about the term plastic, even before reading your article, I thought - It is "LIES". Not data specifically, but falsified kind of one. Interesting that you got the same reading
