18 June 2011 Dear ComputerSaysNo / IT Lines Ltd Directors, Mr. Jody Nel‘s Twitter account implies that he is an employee of Computer Says No:

On 17 July 2011 @iJodyNel tweets: ―I'm sorry but if you're a journalist and Lara Johnstone compliments you, you know you've fucked up professionally.‖

If Mr. Nel’s Criticism was meant Honourably, Seriously and Constructively:

Lara Johnstone is a member of the Radical Honesty culture and religion. Radical Honestly highly values sincere and serious honourable constructive criticism; no matter how blunt. If Mr. Nel considers himself an honourable person, and his remarks were founded on scientific journalistic or ethical theoretical principles and relevant evidence; we welcome him to share his evidence for his conclusions with us.

Radical Honesty‘s psychological, political, ecological, emotional, socio-economic etc policies and principles are founded on the best science we can find. We are always on the lookout for sincere and serious constructive criticism founded on scientific evidence, so that our policies can be updated with the latest scientific knowledge.

We have no allegiance whatsoever to political correct left or right, extreme left or right, communist, socialist, capitalist, nazi, multi-cultural, black or white ideologies. Our primary concern in applying any ideological problem-solving blueprint to any particular circumstance is: DOES IT WORK for the individuals involved? Does it solve their problem? If it doesn‘t work in that circumstance; we flush it down the toilet.

Undoubtedly our ‗does it work‘ problem solving attitude has resulted in a degree of problem solving that has not been replicated by any other culture in the world (to my knowledge). Our culture has no murderers; no rapists, nor have any of our members conceived any unwanted children. We have no lawyers. Our members are taught our – being specific about anger and forgiveness social contract – communication and noticing skills of honourably resolving their disagreements with each other face-to-face. Our political, cultural and religious leadership is 100% transparent including any corporate or individual funding of any project or campaign.

We welcome Mr. Nel to provide us with any honourably constructive criticism about any of our policies and practices, whenever he chooses to do so. If his statement is founded on sound scientific evidentiary arguments, we sincerely would like to hear what those sound scientific evidentiary arguments are.

Req. for Information: Mr. Jody Nel endorses Censorship of Media Corruption, and Media’s endorsement of persecution of minority cultures?

As a member of the Radical Honesty culture, Lara Johnstone only compliments journalists when they demonstrate their commitment to honest, honourable scientific journalism.

It appears that Mr. Jody Nel‘s comment implies that journalists who have demonstrated a commitment to honest, honourable scientific journalism ―have fucked up professionally.‖

Please could Mr. Jody Nel clarify whether this interpretation of his tweet is accurate.

If it is not accurate; could Mr. Jody Nel please clarify; including answering the following questions, including relevant evidence for his perspective:

1. Does Mr. Nel dispute that Lara Johnstone is a member of the Radical Honesty culture?

2. What is Mr. Nel‘s perspective to Radical Honesty‘s Refusal to practice Edward Bernaysian Bullshit-the-Public Public Relations

3?

3. What is Mr. Nel‘s understanding of the Wikileaks concept of scientific journalism, and Radical Honesty‘s scientific journalism campaign?

4. The reasons why Mr. Nel opposes Honest, Honourable Ethical scientific journalism?

5. Reasons why he supports Edward Bernaysian Bullshit-the-Public Public Relations?

For the Record: SA Media’s Censorship of Scientific Journalism Campaign:

Details of SA Media‘s censorship and cover up of Radical Honesty SA‘s legal and activism efforts on behalf of scientific journalism campaign: (I) to expose the media‘s censorship of the Population-Environment Connection (How and Why Journalists Avoid the Population-Environment Connection); (II) establish a Scientific Journalism Media Publication rating system, which could be monitored by anonymous Media Inspectors, similar to Restaurant and Hotel Inspectors, can be found at: Censored: The War You Don’t See: Root Cause Problem Solving: Scientific Journalism Campaign

4:

To issue an advisory ruling, with expert witness input from Wikileaks and/or OpenLeaks ‗scientific journalism‘ experts, in support of a clear classification system of ‗media corporations‘; similar to Hotel Star Ratings and Smoking Label warnings. For example: (a) Three Star Media Corporations practice unbiased and politically incorrect scientific journalism; (b) Two Star media corporations practice left or right ideological propaganda when it contradicts scientific journalism truths, and withhold from their readers access to the original documents they are reporting their bias upon; (c) One Star gutter yellow smear propaganda journalism, which has no interest whatsoever in scientific truthful reporting, only profiting from spreading gossip and malice. All media corporations are required to publish their ‗scientific journalism‘ hierarchical star status, in a designated space on their front page, clarifying their Star Status, and what that start status means regarding the scientific journalism or not quality of factual information being sold to the reader.

People who have confronted the reality that: Truth And Transparent Leadership are currency.

Radical Honesty leaders would rather have no fans, no followers (we only have colleagues), than any ignorant moron imbecile schmuck who believes that you can solve relationship problems, by political correct arse-kissing; or that you can solve socio-economic or political problems, by refusing to address their root causes.

Radical Honesty solve relationship and socio-political problems, like engineers solve engineering problems. We find the true source of the problem. We eliminate the source of the problem. End of Problem.

As you can no doubt gather, Radical Honesty do not practice any form of public relations image management whatsoever. Unlike image Edward Bernaysian PR management chameleons who put forth a false image to the public, and hide any possible perspective that could be negatively interpreted by citizens who suffer from Dunning and Kruger

14; with Radical

Honesty: WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET! We don‘t do the Bernaysian Chameleon PR corporate and political bullshite.

―Love your neighbor as yourself‖ doesn't mean that you are supposed to lie about anger; it means to tell the petty, unreasonable, unjustifiable truth—good and loud and direct so you can authentically get over it so you can love that neighbor for real again, not phony it up and talk about how nice they are while lying through your teeth. Try treating other people as poorly as you treat yourself. At times, being honest about your anger is the only way you have of sharing who you are. Love is sharing what you have, even if you're having a fit. Telling the truth is loving your neighbor.‖ – Brad Blanton, Practicing Radical Honesty

Of course this requires a measure of courage, honour and integrity, not to measure a herculian commitment to transparency; and psychological security; no longer obedient to the Ego‘s psychological infant bicameral mind:

That type of psychological infancy also demands that ‗I Think, therefore I am‘ be considered Sui Generis, i.e. Unique as the only concept of Self, and an absolute, which cannot be questioned. But it is not Sui Generis (unique) because there are many other concepts of Self.

Mr. McBride seems to think that his mind is who he is; does he? But he forgets that it is his mind whom he has put in charge of making that decision? That means there is a conflict of interest, his mind has to make a decision as to whether his mind is who he – Mr. McBride – is? So surely his mind should clarify the decision-making process of how his mind came to that conclusion, based upon what psychological and philosophical and neuro-science evidence? Cause minds just like politicians don‘t always tell the truth!

So, is Mr. McBride‘s mind, who he is?

Or does Mr. McBride consider his being, the little baby of head, arms and legs, who grew up to be a being of a man, while growing a mind, a being whose eyes see, whose ears hear, and whose skin touches, a being that effortlessly provides this seeing, hearing, touching feedback information to the mind that he grew in his brain, to analyse and then provide his being with a final report about the feedback provided to it?

If we are a conscious being, then our being uses our mind – an analytical tool -- to evaluate information, from numerous sources, analyse it and come to a conclusion. What is Mr. McBride‘s mind‘s concept of self, the foundations for his belief in his dignity, etc? It is a fragile-ego autocratic dictatorial mind that chooses ‗I think, I am Unique‘, and the right to psychological infancy (sycophancy), as its definition for dignity; but if that is what Mr McBride‘s mind wishes to be, it has such a right, but it should practice transparency and disclose that information, and take responsibility: I am a psychological infant, and I demand the right to psychological infancy and sycophancy, based on whatever evidence he wishes to put forth.

[..] The meme is a unit of information (or instruction for behaviour) stored in a brain and passed on by imitation from one brain to another. Dawkins gave as examples; ideas, tunes, scientific theories, religious beliefs, clothes fashions… The most obvious (and scary) conclusion from modern neuroscience is that there is simply no one inside the brain. The more we learn

13 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect 14 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_bias

about the way the brain functions the less it seems to need a central controller, a little person inside, a decider of decisions or an experiencer of experiences. These are just fictions - part of the story the brain tells itself about a self within (Churchland and Sejnowski, 1992; Dennett, 1991). We seem to live in a muddle that we think matters to a self that doesn‘t exist. I want to find out why.15 (Radical Honesty Concourt Amicus: Citizen v. McBride16)

For the Record: Citizens Right to Choose Non-Radical Honesty Leadership:

Radical Honesty however totally respects all citizens‘ rights to choose to:

1. Remain in relationships founded on political correct sycophancy and lies.

2. Drown in their leader‘s ever-rising tide of corporate and political bullshite.

3. Be burned, duped, fooled, conned, scammed and screwed over by their political, religious, corporate and media leaders.

Conclusion: Req. for Information: Mr. Jody Nel endorses Censorship of Media Corruption, and Media’s endorsement of persecution of minority cultures?

We welcome Mr. Nel to provide us with any honourably constructive criticism about any of our policies and practices, whenever he chooses to do so. We are unaware of the foundation for Mr. Nel‘s statement in his tweet, and hence, should his statement be founded on sound scientific evidentiary arguments, we sincerely would like to hear what those sound scientific evidentiary arguments are.

In the absence of any honourable correspondence from Mr. Nel clarifying his statements our working hypothesis – as endorsers for scientific journalism, and the rule of law for all -- conclusion is that: Mr. Jody Nel endorses (1) Censorship of Media Corruption; (2) Media‘s Endorsement of the legal and political persecution of minority cultures.
