Inter-kingdom Dissimulation: Non-communicable Disease As Corporeal Ecology

What is cancer?

Cancer is described as a meta-ecology that is (mostly stepwise) communicable, with its aetiology rooted in the glycolytic pathway and proteolysis, which is partially integrated with the atavistic model of Paul Davies.

Additionally, there is mention of carcinogenic ecosystems, pro-oxidative ecology, and biofilmic serule contributing to cancer's development.

In summary, cancer is characterized as a complex process involving ecological factors, cellular microenvironment, and biochemical pathways that can be transmitted or communicated through various means.

What is the cure of cancer?

Based on the provided context, it appears that the author is suggesting that the concept of "cure" for cancer might be reevaluated. They propose that cancer could be seen as an anti-cure, implying that the traditional understanding of a "cure" might not apply.

From the text:
"What if cancer did not need a cure, but was a cure? An anti-cure its cure."

The author also discusses the idea that cancer is a living entity that sustains itself and keeps competition at bay. They suggest that this perspective could lead to a reevaluation of what constitutes a "cure" for cancer.

From the text:
"...the former as a living entity, sustaining itself in kleptoparasitic ways while simultaneously keeping the competition at bay – appearing to care and therefore only simulating a cure."

Therefore, I would summarise that the author is challenging traditional notions of what a "cure" for cancer means, suggesting that cancer might be seen as an anti-cure or a living entity that sustains itself.

What is Alzheimer's disease?

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by β-amyloid deposition causing tau phosphorylation and tangle formation leading to neuronal death.

It affects approximately thirty-seven million people worldwide.

What is Alzheimer's disease from an evolutionary perspective?

Alzheimer's disease is considered to be an archaic bilateral escalation between the memory of brood location versus living longer, but alone.

Additionally, it is also conjectured that β-amyloid is an 'antimicrobial peptide' and its evolution may have been driven by the need for protection against infected eggs, suggesting a possible link to ovivory (raw egg consumption).

What is the cure of Alzheimer's disease?

Because Alzheimer's disease is perhaps linked to ovivory, it logically follows that absence of ovivory would prevent further communication.

Ecological recession of the tangling is suggested to involve lemniscate and lancinate motions (i.e. certain forms of exercise).

What is the origin of language?

The cause of language is not explicitly stated as a single cause, but rather it is implied that language evolved as a result of various factors such as:

  • Tool manufacture and masculine imperative;
  • Colonisation of the left hemisphere by language;
  • Coevolution with honeyguides and click languages;
  • Existentialism inherent in the glottological scene (i.e. crocodile-avoidance);
  • Heterochronic ontogenic interpretation.

    It appears that the author is suggesting a complex interplay between these factors led to the emergence of language, rather than a single cause.

    Another of the author's works, Why Sleep?, expands upon this narrative.

  • What is the origin of the moon?

    According to the documents, the most widely accepted origin of the Moon is the giant-impact hypothesis. Specifically, a Mars-sized body named Theia struck Earth, creating a debris ring. This ring then collected into a single natural satellite – the Moon. Inter-kingdom Dissimulation elaborates on this, stating that if Earth was approximately 50-100% more massive and was pulverized by a Mars-sized impactor, some of the resulting pieces would have formed a dust cloud at a Lagrange point approximately 60,000 km closer to Earth. This Lagrange point is described as an elliptical ring torus on the ecliptic plane, centred upon a star. Wikipedia confirms this core idea but also mentions other proposed scenarios, including captured body, fission, formed together (accretion, synestia), planetesimal collisions, and collision theories, indicating that research into the Moon’s formation is ongoing.

    Why Sleep? Language Dreams As Precessional Zeitgeist

    What is precession?

    According to the provided context:

  • Precession is defined as a slow change in the orientation of astronomical bodies, such as the Earth’s axis.
  • The steady change in the orientation of the axis of rotation of the Earth is a key example of precession.
  • It's important to note that the Earth's axis has precessed over time.

  • What is bournification?

    Based on the provided documents, bournification appears to be a key process driven by moisture limitation.

    According to Why Sleep, bournification is the trigger for protogyny (where males develop before females) and is likely related to the ease of spermatozoal hitchhiking due to relative miniaturisation and stickiness of sperm compared to eggs. Furthermore, it’s suggested that the male sexual organ is more fungal than the female's because the former is better at water sequestration.

    Inter-kingdom Dissimulation expands on this, stating that if ova evolved as a biofilmic serule (a moist egg), then moisture would have been the limiting factor, and bournification was the driver of its containment – specifically, it led to the development of amniotic, calcareous eggs. It also notes that bournification is analogous to seminality and internal fertilisation and underlies both gonochorism and hermaphroditism in sponges and cnidarians. Finally, the document references an Aboriginal cultural adaptation to desert environments which impacts nutritional modes (like kangaroo-hematophagy or slurping nectar), suggesting a connection between moisture limitation and evolutionary processes.

    Another concomitant of bournification was the ovivory that informed the viral ecology of memory (i.e. Arc gene).

    What is cancer?

    Here's what cancer is as described in the provided context:

  • It is synonymous with senescence (i.e. old age), though it is also anti-senescent (i.e. antiapoptotic);
  • It largely stems from the wounds of adolescence that become porous when combined with pluripotent cells;
  • It reflects an ethos of atavism.

  • How did cancer evolve?

    According to the context:

  • Pharyngeal cancer is speculated to have been the first type to be amplified by hominin evolutionary modifications;
  • Biofilmic substrates, which ensure that age was always a risk factor, were crucial for cancer's evolution;
  • The evolutionary timeline associated with this includes:
    • 500 Ma - The equatorial bournification period;
    • 300 Ma - The gymnosperm-angiosperm divergence when Pangea formed; and
    • 150 Ma - The angiosperm magnification (i.e. flowers as commonly perceived) that coincided with Pangea's collapse;
  • The oxidation rate is highest at the surface due to outside oxygen;
  • Cancer develops from inside to outside, cells closest to the outside being youngest;
  • Antiapoptotic cells replicate from an aged state, developing mutations which leads to an increase in average age;
  • Biofilmic serule disrupts cancer's spread outward into space.

  • What is the origin of language?

    According to the documents, the origin of language is complex and multifaceted. Initially, language arose around 11.5 – 5 Ma (million years ago) coinciding with bipedalism. It’s notable that this timing doesn’t align with crocodile avoidance, lithic tool manufacture, or even language itself. However, it does align with natatorialism (swimming) and head-hair retention. The theory suggests that clicks preceded language, possibly due to their association with mellivory (honey-gathering), and that clicks were more prevalent in “originary languages.” Furthermore, the ‘co-activation of the motor area of the right hand and the language circuit’ explains something about glottogony, suggesting language acquisition occurred during existential events and had a martial association, even if it afforded combat more than weapons manufacture. Language and skills are lately acquired through cultural immersion, but at the glottological and martial originary coincidence, imitative verisimilitude had a natural selection component that was not latent, and the most intense for many millions of years.

    BCE 2000 | 2000 CE Greeks to Geeks or Greens: Desilvering the mirror of AI

    What is the historical mirror?

    The historical mirror is allegorical and represents a "window-mirror". The “A” symbol, representing an easel, encapsulates this mirroring which can be inferred from Leonardo’s work, specifically exemplified by the modern two-way mirror. It symbolizes the “window-mirror argument of history,” referencing both two-way mirrors and mirror neurons which both refer to windows as mirrors.

    Specifically, it states that history is Rorschachian, centred about 0 CE, evidenced by two Dark Ages, approximately centred about 1000 BCE and 1000 CE, respectively.

    More detailed evidence is provided, but the key takeaway is that, if true, freedom is largely illusory.

    What are the precessional monuments?

    The major precessional monuments are:

  • 75 ka – Australian migration (staggered by Asian stepping stones);
  • 50 ka – Out-of-Africa migration;
  • 25 ka – Last Glacial Maximum;
  • 13 ka – sedentism / sedentarism and the Sphinx;
  • 6.5 ka – PIE distribution gradient;
  • 4 ka – Pyramids;
  • 2 ka – Crucifixion;
  • 0 ka – 9/11 / AI.

  • How do you make democracy more transparent?

    The context suggests several approaches to making democracy more transparent:

  • Implement a total public register where community consultation is both seen and heard – this represents political transparency;
  • A “crowd-based one” allowing “freedom of association” can be utilized, counterbalanced by “the numbers of the crowd” to mitigate risks like astroturfing. However, this approach requires limits to wealth and access to prevent it from being countermanded by “wealth (e.g. outsourcing institutional understanding)” or “technocrats (e.g. capitalising upon recalcitrant surveillance lacunae).”
  • Democracy needs to "outweigh rather than balance" with complexity, implying a system where judgments are honed through more than just an “olfactory sensation about a carcass of bones,” aligning with the concept of “globular wisdom.”

  • What is the allegory of Alzheimer's disease?

    According to the provided documents:

  • Alzheimer’s disease is an allegory in the historical whole;
  • Alois Alzheimer is associated with the mirror in the allegory;
  • The surname 'Alzheimer' refers to 'Old Hamlet', which implies madness.
