Phrenology and Pre-Crime

Post by D5CAV »

An Israeli Firm is resurrecting the debunked theory of Phrenology - that we can tell who will be trustworthy and who will be criminal based on examination of the head.

I'm guessing they consulted the Joker for some of their "classifiers of negative traits": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3dl32LaOls

"I know a squealer when I see him." The Joker

However, this is nothing new. Just putting computer analysis to an old idea - Phrenology: http://www.theness.com/index.php/phreno ... doscience/

Now, this leads down a very scary rabbit hole, since Eugenics theory grew out of Phrenology.

What is truly ironic is that Phrenology was a favorite of the eugenicists and their water carriers, the National Socialist Democratic Workers Party of Germany: https://answersingenesis.org/charles-da ... holocaust/

Given how so many of my Jewish acquaintances are pro-gun control, and now an Israeli firm is resurrecting Phrenology as a way to separate "undesirables", I can't help but think how AH got it so wrong. He shouldn't have persecuted the Jews, he should have recruited the Jews. They would have been his most enthusiastic henchmen.

German Jews were supporters of both gun control and eugenics - both policies which pre-dated the rise of the National Socialist Democratic Workers Party: "The German eugenic leadership was originally less anti-Semitic than even the British leadership. Most early German eugenicists believed that German Jews were Aryans, and consequently the eugenicist movement was supported by many Jewish professors and doctors both in Germany and abroad. The Jews were only slowly incorporated into the German eugenic theory and then laws." from the above linked article

Which goes back to the lesson of Thomas Moore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMqReTJkjjg

"When the last law was down and the Devil turned around on you, where would you hide Roper, the laws all being flat? ... I give the Devil the benefit of law for my own safety sake." Thomas Moore in "A Man for All Seasons"

Since this is all hidden in plain sight, it leads me to the conclusion that "Never" translates to "70 years" in Hebrew, because I always hear "Never Forget" from my Jewish acquaintances.

They have all forgotten, and it is only 70 years
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
