Never pretend to know what you don’t

Why I branded the Two Colour Protocol

I’ve had a lot of support for the Two Colour Protocol from some of the people I respect most

which has been wonderful.

I’ve also interestingly had two types of dismissive, often savage, responses - each the polar opposite of the other:

It’s a ridiculous preposterous theory!

And

That’s just bloomin’ obvious! Why even say it? You’re saying nothing

!

Well, it is bloomin’ obvious but I need to say it anyway. Well someone does.

I don’t offer a hypothesis - only a way of proceeding wisely based on taking seriously a shared hypothesis pretty much everyone takes for granted.

Chances to falsify this underlying hypothesis occur continually

for everyone

second by second.

I don’t know anyone who ever has seen any counter example.

The implied ‘hypothesis’ in the protocol

The Reality Hypothesis

Some stuff we witness, some knowledge we gather is given to us - reality - green stuff - and some stuff is made up - imagination - pink stuff- and there’s a fundamental difference. No overlap

For some this is preposterous.

“But thoughts are things”

Quite possibly, but the thought of a microscopic alien space badger invasion fleet can do no harm whatsoever…

…UNLESS it is treated as real.

And ‘measures’ are put in place to ‘safeguard’ from them and ‘treat’ the damage ‘from them’ with pointless catastrophic results,

and people are drenched in fear so that the voodoo effect / nocebo mechanisms kick in.

“What about Magick?”

Can you ‘manifest’ something from the pink into the green? Like a helicopter? I cannot deny the ‘possibility’ but more likely is…

.

Could the Reality Hypothesis be falsified?

Only pseudoscience hypotheses can’t be falsified.

If a map of reality can’t be proved wrong by reality it’s no map at all. It’s just pie in the sky.

Pseudoscience fiction.

The Reality Hypothesis could be falsified -

(although inherently these falsifications could all be debunked and undermined using the Ultimate Thought Experiment. See below)

Falsifying the Reality Hypothesis

One day I may imagine a dancing hippopotamus and a real physical one is ‘manifested’ in front of me by the power of my thoughts and the lack of any real boundary between imagination and reality.

There may of course be explanations for such an experience that make it less than suitable as a reason to abandon the divide.

How weird is reality!

It is bizarre that in the whole infinite sea of pink possibilities - everything a God could dream -

there’s a set of them more special than the rest because they are not ‘possible’ at all, they are actually ‘the case’ ! True. Truth. Reality. Green stuff. God’s creation. Such that is.

Fenced in, in a complex interconnected web, observed from zillions of angles by the awake, remaining completely consistent.

We are all experiencing ‘this’ together. There is a ‘this’ - whatever it is.

However, as a thought experiment,

A mischievous God-acting simulation universe designer may be playing a long game, blurring the divide occasionally, maybe one day suddenly removing it to see what happens.

All good clean fun to imagine.

Nothing wrong with pink stuff

Imagining possibilities and maps (pink stuff) is very healthy.

Playing at Doll’s tea party with your daughter. Wonderful. She knows it’s play.

Starting to wink and smile as she says

Is Santa a real person Daddy?

so that she knows it’s the same as Dolls and cartoons. Play. You don’t have to sign up to lies. Pretending is just fun.

But, telling her outright when she questions:

Of course he’s real. Your friends are wrong.

would have many damaging consequences

to trust, yes,

but also in undermining the central importance of The Root Question

Now, are you sure that’s true? or is it just a story?

We are called to be witness to the truth.

Pretend games are cool. Pretend truth is not.

I would say the blurring of story and reality, whether consciously or unconsciously, is the root cause of every avoidable error.

The divide is being threatened

Now is the time to be rigorously sane. Reality is under threat.

The Two Colour Protocol cuts through all the bullshit. Instrumentalism and all kinds of Pseudoscience become impossible.

What is it? Just the clear distinguishing of the real and the made-up.

Who is blurring reality and fantasy?

One example: From Blavatsky and Bailey came Lucifer publishing. They changed their name to the Lucis Trust and are key partners with the United Nations. Bailey is the mid-wife of The New Age.

The much vaunted one world religion:

The New Age Trap

blurs the distinction between reality and imagination.

Sadly,

so does Science™️ officially since 1927. See below.

Also

Hollywood and the rest of popular culture.

Magic is in. And not by chance.

All the following rely on blurring what is true and what is made up in a less than healthy way.

Flagrantly ignoring and undermining the Root Question often almost trolling it.

Some blur the very distinction itself.

Applying the Two Colour Protocol cleans up or deletes all of them.

The point of propaganda is not to make people believe it. It is to foster cynicism so that we don’t know what to believe and come to believe that nothing is true, no facts are reliable

Roger Berkovitz

Reality itself is under attack

"The aim of totalitarian education has never been to instill convictions but to destroy the capacity to form any."

Hannah Arendt

Post modern days. Truth is what we are told it is or whatever we choose is true for ourselves..

The only true duality

I myself see pink / green as about the only genuine observable duality in the universe. I think you do too.

All other ‘Duality’ ideas are pure pink stuff. The two poles are conceptual only, in every case, and never observable Green stuff.

Except,

the duality between Pink Stuff and Green Stuff.

That appears to be observable - so far.

My experience is that reality and fantasy are not the same - and that it really helps things turn out soooo much better if you take seriously the notion of questioning every single story you are given or you give yourself.

We must particularly take care when things are

‼️‼️‼️‼️ as good as true ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Either it’s true or it’s just a story. Do you know it? As green stuff?

If it’s a story that claims to represent reality, we get a feel for how likely it captures reality well. Maybe the probability seems quite high.

Great.

Stick it in the bag with all the other stories

Intuition says story 5447alpha is true.

Great! give it a high probability and use it as a guide to action.

But it still stays pink side. Stick in the bag with all the stories.

You’d be a fool to throw it into the scenery and treat is like DATA: imagine a layer over your experiencing that you mistake for what is being experienced.

Delusion.

Being properly aware means catching as many of those (certain) beliefs as possible, as early on as you can

images that somehow became graven images, part of the augmented reality our head above our head goggles offer us.

We spot these - now brown - things, shove them back from the Green into the Pink (or vice-versa) where they belong.

so that

---

the habit is engrained of always being very clear what is

• actually reality

and what is

• Our guide-book to it.

  ---

Guide-books lie. Reality IS truth

Why invent more words to say nothing new??

It’s the obvious question.

How could messing up the epistemologisphere with more jargon help bring focus back to reality?

allowing

• peace of mind,

• strong Faith-without-belief,

• a purging of pseudoscience,

• a lessening of anxiety.

After all,

The Two Colour Protocol is completely covered by and equivalent in every way to:

The Awareness Principle

Never pretend to know what you don’t.

---

All the following are also equivalent to The Two Colour Protocol or founded on it.

(To be clear, all these ‘names’ are deliberately tongue in cheek and will explain why I decided branding the Two Colour Protocol is to me the easiest way of simply grasping the root of what sanity, science and Faith are all about)

The Sanity Principle

Avoid delusion

The Science Principle

Avoid group delusion

The Reality Principle

Distinguish what is given (DATA) to us from what we make up in our head

The Faith Principle

Make no graven images

The Authenticity Principle

Don’t pretend to know what you don’t to others

The That’s Just The Way It Is. Eat it up Principle

There is real stuff out there. How? Why? Who? Who cares. Reality is “a thing”. Face it. Your mental representation of it is not it and in some cases is totally incompatible with it, falsified by it. Sometimes this causes catastrophes that could have been avoided. You need to be clear what is: direct experience of the reality (that you deny at your peril!) and what are parts of stories in your head, that you treat as real stuff sometimes with dire consequences.

The Fully Alive Code

Live fully in the real world. Live fully in the farthest reaches of your imagination. Know the difference

The Way Of The Sceptic

Believe nothing 100%.

Either you know it or it’s a story.

Bored yet?

Just a few more

The Zen Principle

Be wary and aware of the head above your head.

The Root Question - central at age 3 - then forgotten

Now… …are you sure that’s true? Or is it just a story?

The method of Columbo

Imagine every possibility which is compatible with the evidence. Look for evidence that eliminates as many possibilities as possible. If necessary trick the perpetrator into supplying clear court-presentable evidence preferably hoisting him by his own petard, using his own method back on him, for dramatic effect.

---

In every case we are making a clear distinction between two very different types of stuff.

The importance of maintaining this distinction is drummed in as the essential core in each case.

Is it real, true?

Or is it made-up.

The warning in each case is that:

The Deep Warning

Failing to keep your images as images, engraving them onto reality - as if they were part of it - will often lead to avoidable suffering.

Oops. That’s the last one. (True at time of writing)

So why brand it?

I would guess that most of the above presentations of the Two Colour Protocol will be seen as obviously true platitudes by most people.

And I think here is the problem:

If everyone, at all times never pretended to themselves or others to know what they don’t we’d be laughing. Even if people didn’t pretend to themselves alone - that would do it. There’d be much less pretending to others.

But how on earth would we get there?

If a man walks into a psychoanalyst’s office and described a complex problem

and the psychoanalyst said,

“I can help you. The solution to your problem is easy.

Never pretend to know what you don’t. Bye.”

It is unlikely our sufferer will make use of this even if it literally went to the heart of the problem. Stories mixed up with facts. Self Blame and guilt are stories laid on top of actual memories of abuse. Self loathing, is being locked in the head above your head.

Taking it on board

Maybe if he’d travelled 1000 miles to get 30 seconds with a guru he trusted and heard the exact same thing, it may lead to more of a transformation.

All the above principles and codes sound so obvious but who takes seriously on board the act of applying this clarity every waking second as if it were the natural way to be?

Every Second Zen.

What if it is the natural way to be? And most of us are unnaturally deluded in many ways.

Because right now in every single sphere of life, very much including The Citadel Of $cience™️, stories and bullshit are mixed freely in with real stuff in all narratives without any distinction.

Many of the cases are harmless. Many are fatal. But the very habit itself allows for being dragged into any old nonsense by the media and their controllers.

Now, like no time in history, we need to have continually-active state-of-the-art bullshit detectors set at maximum focus.

Scepticism soaked in vinegar and baked in the oven like our invincible conkers from the time before Health and Safety took away that particular avenue of pleasure.

So why bran…

Firstly I branded it for the same reason I branded The Silver Bullet video.

“Everybody please spread the Northern Ireland Address of Mike Yeadon. 21 minutes and succinctly put”

vs

“Have you seen The Silver Bullet?”

Shamelessly using mind manipulation techniques to maximise the number of people who get to hear this blistering vital delivery.

Bite me.

The Two Colour Protocol is intended to be a clear simple practical focused application of scepticism.

All knowledge and its constituent contents are pink or green. That’s it.

It’s a hard uncompromising blade that asks the nature of each bit of knowledge. Which parts are reality? Green? Which are phantoms from the head above the head - however useful they are as features on a map.

Restoring Scientific Realism

Used in science methodically,

with every concept and ‘thing’ in each essay, paper, being classified pink or green,

With DATA and MODEL kept clearly distinguished,

It becomes impossible to fall into

The Trap

‼️‼️‼️‼️It’s as good as true‼️‼️‼️‼️

Things seem to pan out with this theory, and the invented abstractions within it. We may as well take them as real

This last anti-science madness is called Instrumentalism. This pseudoscientific attitude overthrew Scientific Realism in 1927

Bohred to Death

In 1927, at the Solvay Conference, Einstein and the Scientific Realists (Yay!) lost the debate to the Instrumentalists (Boo!) led by Bohr (Boo!)

EDIT: Not sure about Einstein now!

Instrumentalism, the reality trashing treating of pink stuff as green stuff destroyed science.

The fairy stories grew and grew - so now: practically all the universe is, apparently, invisible stuff we can’t see or detect and microscopic computer built genomes, against all probability magically exist without detection and spread disease despite 220 years of transmission experiments showing clearly that nothing does.

Transmission failure

Most of the world now believes in viruses - whose fictional nature is simply hard fact - as is unequivocally demonstrated by the ever rising, ever unclaimed Virus Confirmation Fund.

Pledge or claim the (currently) £56,000

The climate narrative is the most extraordinary piece of reality trolling imaginable.

The gas of life, just crawling out of drought levels (barely double that of plant extinction levels), after 500 million years steady fall and causing a greening gradually, is a dangerous chemical that needs lowering.

😳

Ice core-sample evidence, Tree ring evidence, IPCC fraud, Professor Zharkova’s papers and the many others, the close correlation between Global Temperature with CO2 graphs with CO2 lagging 800 years AFTER the Temperature graphs …….aside…

…this alone is enough of a urine extraction.

Instrumentalism sucks

The scientific method IS the careful separation of DATA from MODEL you silly billies.

Avoiding the reification fallacy should be basic.

You can’t just make shit up so that your hypothesis works! And then say it’s out there with absolutely no evidence.

Worth saying again, I maintain that a large proportion of avoidable error in science and life comes from the confusion of Green stuff with Pink Stuff.

If a strict adherence to the Two Colour Protocol is considered foundational to all science as basic

as it should be

then pseudoscience would be impossible -

- outside outright fraudulent genuinely isolated (excuse the pun) cases.

It’s a big claim, but like

Dr Mike Yeadon

I take a long time pondering something before I say it out loud. I’ve looked and checked.

Not a panacea

Accidents do happen. Of course.

But.

Safety engineers make sure they know what it would take to overwhelm a system. Because of this, collapsing bridges are few and far between.

Being (intuitively?) aware of all the possibilities in the moment and their likelihoods - certain of none of them - leads to

a better chance of negotiating the world and the sea of (nearly all) beautiful lovely damaged kind idiosyncratically extraordinary humans that live in it

than forcing reality into our intricate brilliant model of it and inviting it to repeatedly shock us with bashes to the head by doing something incompatible with our model.

The not knowing part is much more important than any probability assessing of outcomes

Coddiwompling

To strive purposefully forward in an, as yet unknown direction, (expecting nothing for certain)

---

Columbo expects nothing. He may think things likely. But he keeps every, as yet unfalsified possibility, open.

He flies by the seat of his pants. Most of his clues come out of the blue from genuine friendly conversations on everyday subjects.

Same with playing a solo over a psychedelic rock samba. You have no idea where you are going next at any point. You’re watching it happen more than executing it.

In the Zone

In the zone is when you leave the head above your head.

If you’re making love with your love and someone with a clipboard nearby is making constructive criticisms and suggesting new ways to go, in a compelling, nagging, interfering, controlling way…

…though some will no doubt be the exception - its a wild world - most of us would find it hard to get into the growing flow essential to that particular human activity.

The head above the head does this all the time, and it does it using a whole host of imaginary stuff as if it were real.

Religious language can be useful.

Your creation is wonderful. But never confuse it with God’s creation

In other words, separate the Pink from the Green.

Not because not to do so is naughty! That you are treating your creations as equal to that of an almighty jealous creator who wants you to be a good little boy or girl and cow tow. That’s just daft bunkum.

The truth is simpler.

It just leads to trouble if you ignore reality.

You are convinced that barman did that deliberately to spite you. You act on that basis.

But that was your pink overlay. He hadn’t even noticed you and now, you are barred.

I am not against fantasy

I loved Sapphire and Steel. It’s fun to blur reality and fantasy as long as you are clear that this very blurring itself is a game - pure fantasy.

Predictive programming though, is insidious; carefully putting ideas in our heads. Blurring fact and fiction.

‘Warning’ books that actually normalise technocratic and totalitarian mechanisms.

The dodgy giants of early science fiction

When you look at the early history of those writing Science Fiction and their connections with eugenics and dodgy societies, you come to realise the attempted moulding of what is seen as real has been going on a long time smuggled in the fantasy. H. G. Wells did not just write fiction:

In all his fiction, a global solution is pushed. Netflix - a Bernays family affair…

Things are now hotting up. The 100 years + of predictive programming is entrenched.

“What do you mean there are no aliens invading? Are you a conspiracy theorist?”

We are at the stage where the apparently long planned alien invasion hoax would be lapped up by a terrorised population.

Orson Welles’ “War Of The Worlds” panic showed how little it takes.

Nick Hudson

s maxim is well worth remembering in this case too.

The general rule of thumb that I believe everybody should adopt is that if any problem is being presented as a global crisis with only global solutions then it is a scam.

Branding the two types of stuff

(Two because BROWN STUFF - delusion, is not a third type of stuff - it’s just pink or green stuff in the wrong box.)

I think calling:

Data, observations, experienced reality, truth, witness:, what you know, knowledge of what is the case…

GREEN STUFF

for the actual Terrain that is out there, somehow.

With Hypotheses, maps, representations, theories, possible explanations, predictions, guesses, models, abstractions, imagined things, theoretical things, surmised things, pure stories, alleged stories representing reality that are not data, lies,

all PINK STUFF

Pink for the brain that holds (maybe) this augmented reality overlay of concepts, divisions, value judgements, interpretations, beliefs, projections and all the above types of stories.

Then it’s easy.

Never pretend to know what you don’t

Don’t let this happen.

The thin black line is our best friend.
