We Put Our Money Where Our Minds Are

Payments by Cathy Spence and Bob Barnett to Timism reflect decades of belief in Timism's potential. Timism originated as an undergraduate theory on how the brain processes infomation: Rate of Integration (ROI) and Integrity of Intellect and Information (iCube). In graduate school it was realized that all thoughts had a time value relative to an individual's survival whether living or non-living. Then like the Latin word for gathering (legere/legein) Timism evolved as a Periodic Table of Existence when applied to existing schools of thought: morality, politics, economics, mentality, chemistry and physics.

Time is the thread in the fabric of life ... the gravity of existence.

Cathy, the ground zero of Timism, was the primary funder for better democracy and economics. The cost has been about $2,200 per month or $26,400 per year ... in ten years, over a quarter of a million dollars ... about 40% of our monthly income. An unfairness of life is how creeping dementia will deny the bedrock of Timism a full mentality to savor its success.

Since I retired from positive cashflow in 1999 to focus on Timism, our direct investment in Timism is over a half a million dollars. Indirectly, I could have been working generating six-figure incomes. We invested into and sacrificed a lot for the goals of Timism.

Cathy has always believed in Timism. She did not and does not believe in people taking the time to learn and live the benefits of Timism. We live in a world of play and waste in which over 90% of paychecks are fueling the global holocaust from CO2-sinning. How much of your spending is for wants that in the future will be forgotten like the painful awkwardness in high school? But the consequences of your spending will be in Mother Nature's surprise climate change disasters.

More important than ever is Socrates statement that the unquestioned life is not worth living. Today, 2,500 years later, the unquestioned lives of lies are killing the future. "Shucks," says the masses, "I don't have time for your egghead dribble nor for dirty politics."

We have lived minimalists' lives: We live like baby chickens: cheap, cheap, cheap. Our personal cheapness allows us to un-cheaply help others beyond the norm. A $3 bag of beans seasoned par excellence will last three meals with the last being burritos. We are thrifties at food and re-sale outlets. I drive a 22-year old car because last year my 35-year old car died. We try to observe Gandhi's credo of "Live simple so others can simply live."

We don't publicly preach our morality, but malignant materialists resent our evident cheapness. Our lifestyle quietly rejects their suicidal self-validation. They are non-questioning, wasteful, CO2-sinners against life on earth. Igknowance is bliss until the igknowed problems blitz your life.

Perhaps we should have put the money into long-term care insurance. Or, to have lots of female caretakers, I might have bought a bordello instead of pimping for Mother Nature.

What needs to be done will not be done without better economics that requires better democracy which requires better morality: The Morality of More Time.

As I daily have less time for Timism, only 25% of six months ago, I fear this analogy may come to be: A aged farmer planted and cultivated his highly productive fields even as he spent more time each day caring for his ailing wife. One day, he did not return to his fields. The needed food died unharvested.

Timism's existential question: When the doors are open, finally, will people sign up to implement the Chain Letters for Democracy? We'll see.
