  • Remedy to our world crisis, hit on by chess, science, history & religion

    A remedy to our world crisis (which can be hit on by chess, science, history, science & religion), based on a relatively recent Post that I made on LinkedIn (besides on my Comments there, regarding that Post):

    USA MAGA Moderates in GOP Democrats Congress Trump Canada 51st State Chess Science Law Religion Oh God Films I became a chess master in the 1980s while living near Toronto. I don't want to be 'He Who Restrains' & 'Removed' (= EndTimes), so I'll 'Reveal' some Streetwise things that I learned while I become a chess master, to put some perspective on the (5th) recommendation below:

    1. Any who have childlike faith about a given book, e.g. concerning a chess opening (which typically includes many series of moves that a reader may hope to recall & play, if an opponent allows such a series to happen), now & then may regret that they read such a book, i.e. when they find themselves in a poor situation that apparently wasn't anticipated by an author (or the reader);

    2. So unsurprisingly at times settled science has been overturned down through the Ages;

    3. Anecdotal evidence (except e.g. claims re: religion -bit unfairly in my estimation) is allowed in court, though it's not weighted as much as eye witness testimony would be;

    4. I'm open-minded, e.g. re: reincarnation (wikis re: author/age of various religious texts don't convince me);

    5. Likely safe & quick to try at least once in your life: pray (ideally asap) 'LORD please put into effect the most exact version of scripture' (whatever that might turn out to be -looking at e.g. wiki re: Wycliffe Bible I have doubts about it or anything newer).

    I. Regarding point 3 above, here's 2 links relevant to courtroom rules concerning anecdotal evidence (note that Google's AI can produce a result that may at least slightly differ each time that a search with it is made):

    II. The capture of (what I'd perhaps somewhat too loosely call) 'Venezuela's First Couple' happened in a successful raid against Venezuela's capital city, that was conducted by the USA (as ordered by POTUS Trump 2.0) only a few short days ago. That rather unsettling raid's 'result' was 'compounded', in terms of its 'sobering effect' (circa yesterday) worldwide, by what I'd call the (hard to fully conceal) resulting 'panic' that suddenly came upon various world leaders, due to Trump freshly (but now very unsubtly) alluding to his desire to have the USA annex Denmark's territory of Greenland, using brute force if necessary. For example, a significant number of those leaders began to meet (again, circa yesterday) in Paris, France (including our own PM Mark Carney), in a get together that was initially designed largely to address the matter of possibly ending a major war that's been going on in Europe (between Putin's Russia and Ukraine) that has not stopped for a considerable number of years now.

    III. Other things to consider:

    A. There are currently nine (9) nations on Earth thought to have (possibly besides other kinds of WMDs) nuclear weapons (and at least some of those nine [9] nations presently have leaders who may well not have recently had a proper 'mental health' evaluation, at least as far as I can tell);
    B. The Middle East, alone, is currently a hotbed of conflict (potentially being of scriptural proportions, presently, as far as I can tell);
    C. That's not to mention that the situation in the Far East (never mind the one that involves India, Pakistan & Afghanistan) is at least still 'simmering', as far as I can tell;
    D. Add to all of the above that (at least as I'd assess things) there's a madman that's currently in charge of by far the most powerful nation on Earth (namely Trump, the USA's present POTUS), making all of the rest of the national leaders who are responsible for various lands/property located within The Americas quite possibly shake in their boots (at the least while they are awake);
    E. Thus, anything at all related to (the GOP or) Trump himself (e.g. regarding his USA [2025] NSS document, which includes discussion of what I'd call the plan for exclusive domination of the entire Western Hemisphere by the USA, besides other things that are alluded to in that document that's been in the news for some time now).

    1A) To try to anticipate any question about my reference to 'He Who Restrains' (and is later 'Removed'), in the short second paragraph of this Post, I seem to recall it's very known to many Christians (perhaps especially to those in the USA, where most Christians who believe in a 'Rapture' reside) as a reference to a mysterious 'Restrainer' (many who believe in the concept known as 'the Rapture', or possibly otherwise, think it refers to 'The Church', but it's been theorized that it could also refer to a single individual) who is somehow delaying the clear arrival upon the world stage of the 'Anti-C'. I believe this idea of a 'Restrainer' is specific to Christianity (and it may not necessarily be interpreted as why such a thing as a Rapture would ever happen, e.g. Catholics do not believe in a Rapture concept, as far as I know).

    2B) Nevertheless, I still feel my recommendation for a remedy to what I see as our present world crisis may well be worth trying, at least once per person in their lifetime (ideally asap). In the 1970s era Oh God movie series, George Burns plays the part of the LORD. In the first movie, I think, George as the LORD addresses the question of a final judgement, and hopes that that it won't happen, due to there being so many casualties as a result (mind you, this is what the movie's script writers had George say). I can tell you, I myself don't like the idea of a 'Rapture', for starters - can you imagine e.g. any plane, as flown by a Christian who was unexpectedly 'Raptured', possibly dropping in altitude etc.? Makes zero sense to me, in terms of compassion for any number of half-decent people suffering, compared to at least one madman (Anti-C) causing war etc. as any 'End Times' might come to pass. Never mind if something terribly unexpected were to happen in a judgement of a vast multitude of people, should some nasty person[s] with an evil/insane agenda ever have gotten involved with changing any exact version of any sacred text at any tiime in history.

    F21. 1st ask online Q (Google AI A differs per try) like: How should person who's religious, atheist or agnostic react if they see suggestion to privately [or otherwise] pray [at least] only one time (at all) in words of their own choosing so as to have the most exact version of any sacred text of any kind to be put into effect in some way, such as by a deity reading that exact text to themselves, & thus possibly help, even by using such minimal means/effort[s], change the course of history, e.g. as it is now unfolding (despite possibly not physically putting any copy of such a sacred text anywhere onto the Earth, at least as yet), especially as 1 attempt to save much/all of humanity in a perilous time e.g. with the increased possibility of WW3 such as in 2026?;

      Note: I've edited some of my earlier posts in this chesstalk Thread. Plus, here's some (still) relatively recent material:

      Regarding my suggested remedy to our present world crisis (see point 5, in the following link):

      https://lnkd.in/eA_VUbxn

      First of all, about my own #religion: I currently would be regarded as a rather unorthodox Christian. Here are some of my beliefs (much of the material that follows is already available within a blog entry of mine that can be found within the CFC's Discussion Board):

      1. Where people end up:

      Reincarnation is possible and may well be commonplace. Happens to those not good enough for one well known place, nor bad enough for the other. Even those who may go to the other may ultimately be saved from there if they haven't been too bad. Incidentally, I have heard that in Orthodox Judaism, the possibility of reincarnation isn't ruled out.​

      2. Is the apocalypse nigh?:

      I believe there is a big chance that we're soon about to be spared from that, and possibly from far worse (e.g. all-out global nuclear war).​ Note, however, that there are many views on possible End Times scenarios. I'd advise: don't guess, pray at least once in your lifetime for a sacred text (whatever that may turn out to be) to be enforced (asap, preferably) 'as if from above'. For Christians in particular, here's a few of my own (unprovable) experiences that have helped me in drawing my own conclusions from (on top of more credible things I've noted in the link I've given), if you are hesistant to try what I suggest: I've had memories (starting around 1990) of a past life in the Middle Ages, when I learned that someone nasty (ID was hard to verify, back then, such as for a translator) was involved with mistranslating the bible into English (with relatively few changes, perhaps, so as not to clue in believers at the time, too much, re: a possible deception). He somehow turned (more or less, perhaps) a few parts of it to make parts of it act as a kind of 'spell book'. Anyway, there is a point in the Last Book where it talks of the LORD and JC getting new names. It is known that the d_v_l always wanted to take G_d's place, so I put two and two together. That's without even yet considering whether there might be any special 'code' in the bible that's as if 'below the surface'. Besides all these things, I still can only guess at e.g. who the AntiChrist may turn out to be (if ever is one - hope not); well, POTUS Trump all but self-declared himself, on that score, with his recent AI images in his PR battle vs. Pope. Also, who is 'He who Restrains'? Assuming if ever an Anti-C is revealed (even Trump, already??), many in USA think 'Rapture (if any, ever) of' The Church (='Restrainer', that's thus 'Removed'). It could easily be anyone that's 'The Restrainer', I think (perhaps even an average guy, like.. me? - just kidding). By the way, what does being 'Removed' feel like? If it were supposed to happen to an average guy like me, I don't really wish to know. Please pray, e.g. as I've advised to in point 5, in the link that I gave further above.



      17-May-2026 [addendum] edit:

      ​[Based on email to #atheist friend]: I get asking why #God made what you call The Design as is. I'd reply as I heard on radio yrs ago: I'm not in management. I've mostly ceased trying to defend what I mainly in thought call The System. By my life/our world eg leaders/weaponry coming soon may be sort of global 'Reset' as half in jest you & I've happened to call.

      In '25 I'd guess majority of us still being here if/after a Reset (also any may forget/recall things as sudden sort of miracle maybe even going by my youth 10s yrs ago). Reality's Judeo-#Christian-like (doubters have 1 'out' in saying schizophrenia may cause believing/perceiving things in this Comment) based on some basic facts I'm certain of due to what I've experienced/perceived including my certainty about some vivid memories of parts of a life I lived in Middle Ages.

      I'd note of #scripture (that may in places speak of our day & what must/may occur): some scholars think there's currently no exact version of it on Earth, as online searches show. As for a few other basic facts about Reality I'm certain of: The Father, The Son (& The Trinity), Angels (eg Guardian), Virgin Mary & (still, at least currently) a certain (maybe very badly underestimated) snake do exist.


      Some #religion anecdotes1960s: I saw man on cross on sun on half cloudy day. Maybe made to forget before share. Yrs later recalled maybe to cheer up. Mid1980s In library glanced at piece of paper, put down & looked away, looked back & it's gone; among words: Who says #God doesn't have a sense of humor? 1 night changed TVchannel, saw preacher. He acted funny but then serious&interactive, telling me things I'd got wrong but got past. I then was shown snippets re the future sometimes re what I'd be thinking or news re future I'd later see eg on a TV. All it seems without my ever knowing context (eg 9/11 footage). I don't recall how what He showed me ended as I seem to have been made to forget even He (after falling asleep) until 1990. I've since recalled many snippets (after a corresponding event occurs) maybe as milestones saying I'm on course. 1990 Had many memories eg Middle Ages life I had. After recalled He exists I wondered if He has sense of humor then recalled paper in library. D_v_l began bugging me (up to as much as I can bear I learned) eg simulated pain. I'd been as if tagged by nasty person near end of Middle Ages life I had, at least until exact #scriptures are again enforced on Earth as if from above, which I pray for.

        Kevin, I think that increasingly many people worldwide understand the major problem here (USA President Donald Trump remaining in office), and it then becomes a question as to whether the Republicans in the United States Congress and Senate can figure that out, and do something about it. A high proportion of what Trump does and says benefits Russia, directly or indirectly. According to the book by Mark Seal, 'American Kompromat" (2021), Trump is a Russian intelligence asset, who controls the Jeffrey Epstein client dossier, with videos. NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was founded in 1949, with the USA, Canada, and Denmark as founding members. Its purpose was collective security; that is, an attack on any NATO member could activate a group response. What NATO didn't consider is a scenario where one NATO member would threaten another, and this is now we are now seeing (here, USA threatening Denmark and Canada).

        A cartoon in the Globe and Mail this week showed the Devil in discussion with Trump, saying that he may as well go for it, since backtracking is now futile!! A pretty scary thought.

        By the way, we are coming up on the 50th anniversary of your key victory over me in the last round of the 1976 Ottawa Youth tournament!! It was directed by Les Bunning and Terry Fleming, if memory serves. We both had 5/5, and only the winner would advance to the provincial youth championship. My loss led me to virtually give up tournament chess for the next three years; one could say that it was disappointing!! I interchanged the proper order of two moves in the late opening in a sharp line in the Winawer French, and you took full advantage, to win a miniature!! I did get a post-mortem with IM/IMC Dr. Fedor Bohatirchuk (former Soviet co-champion, 1892-1984), who advised me to take up the French myself, and I did so! I did feel very much better about that loss, when I saw you had defeated future GM Kevin Spraggett (then an IM) in a tournament game a couple of years after that!!

          Interesting post Frank (also, thanks for the trip down memory lane, now that we're both somewhat older).

          Meanwhile, here's another thing that's been in the news that's related to Trump (and tangentially to chess, perhaps, since Iceland is famous for hosting the 1972 Fischer-Spassky world chess championship match):

          Trump's pick for US ambassador to Iceland jokes about making it 52nd state:

          CBC report on Trump's choice for ambassador to Iceland's 'joke' about making Iceland a '52nd state':

          [edit:: below is a link to the most recent thread that's at least somewhat related to POTUS Trump 2.0 (and his admin) that I started some time ago, which is located in chesstalk's Non-Chess Forum - note that recently Trump (as far as I know) again has managed to publicly 'outdo himself', ego-wise (in terms of an order of magnitude previously not yet reached), somehow.]
