Mistakenly but perhaps inevitably, relativity became confused with relativism .... No one was more distressed than Einstein by this public misapprehension.

MODERN TIMES: The World from the Twenties to the Nineties
(Revised Edition) [New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 1991]
Electric charge is an inherent property of matter.
Electronic inter-communication, inter-connecting and inter-linking human beings over a distance, is made possible by the use of communications satellites orbiting above the earth -- relaying (receiving and transmitting) radio signals or waves or beams to and from and among their points or locations on earth, with the help of ground stations on earth (electrical installations).
Such radio and television communications systems carry and relay radio and television signals (electronic images and voices; or electronic pictures and sounds) through space by radio waves.
Modern governments can control our citizens' brains -- with their electrical impulses -- with the transmission and reception of such electric radio signals, which affect and influence our mental activities: our consciousness; our sensations; our thoughts; our speeches; our memories; our emotions; our character; our behaviour; and our skills.
Used by modern governments against detainees (political or criminal), such telecommunication technology and surveillance techniques, based on communications satellite systems, and using some, or a combination or all of these electronic systems, devices and instruments (such as radio, handphone, broadcasting and telecasting), can be employed as the basis for brainwashing (IN OFTEN IRRATIONAL AND BRUTISH WAYS) troublesome, unruly, disruptive and other targetted citizens -- by isolating them, by (personally) humiliating them, by disorientating them, by (systematically) indoctrinating them, and by (alternately ) punishing and rewarding these victims, whose individual wills are subjected to such political manipulation, generally without their knowledge, and against their wishes.
PERSONAL COMMENTARY:
For more than 36 long years now, the Singapore Government has been trying to brainwash me. It is against my wishes indeed -- and hence I'm unhappy and unwilling to be such a victim. It is also done without my knowledge -- and hence I "can't tell pork from veal"! I have, for too long, been working, playing and living poorly in the dark. But I will tell you this -- positively: I will not let myself be subjected to any such political manipulation any further by Singaporean politicos!
I'm going to dig out the crucial identities and personal particulars of ALL those men (and, especially, women) who are -- and have been -- behind the (main) scene taking place on the front stage -- from their secret hide-outs at the backstage (controllong and influencing the events of my life -- as well as my ideas and my personality, since when they first came into the picture of my life -- from, yes, to repeat, way back when?).
All those wasted, lost and missing years ago -- and I was totally in the dark ("couldn't tell pork from veal," truly!)! And only now do I have any recourse to set things right and in the proper order of my values, principles and rights!
Yes, I'm turning to myself for help! I'm my own best source of help! (Who can really aid me, in any way?) I understand my own needs, goals, values, principles, views and rights better than anyone else! And what do I know about this small country and its people? That it is divided by such differences as race, religion, sect, clan, language, dialect, sectarianism and fanaticism! And that it requires a ruler who knows economics and the scienceof administration!
I know best my own manly abilities and virtues -- such as courage, confidence, resourcefulness, self-understanding, ambition, and my indomitable spirit and strong desire for attaining achievement as a dissenting modernist working-class writer!
I wish Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle are in charge or control! They are at least more accessible to a writer and intellectual like me! Yes, more mature and wiser enough to perform their tasks and roles -- in productive unison and harmonious synchronisation -- oh! that's the way! [Not in the way of those childish, boyish, girlish, playful and infantile -- but extremely cruel "human beings" who didn't -- and still don't -- know what is RESPECT and PRIVACY (especially for a thinking Senior Citizen like me)!]
Yes, these controllers are HYPOCRITES! Hypocrisy is the greatest crime of all! It is the cause of so much human sufferings, miseries, anger, pain, hurt, sorrow, bitterness, misfortunes, destruction (of the self and of others) and even death! (Hey, Tan Hong Huat, you're full of it! Do you know what it means to have harmony, beauty, originality, independence, individuality, neatness, democracy, liberty, opportunity, honesty, truthfulness, and unyielding hope? Yes, for those determined to live, play and work well? Do they have them -- as much as I do? By, and through, sheer resistance and persistence!) And by what kind of power -- and what kind of leaders -- are we going to be ruled? Traditional? Religious? Racial? Economic? Military? Or the great ELITE? (who has acquired the ideology and the techniques and, and above all, the VERNACULAR of modern Western politics!).
First Statement On My Intention Now:
I declare that I prefer to remain as I am now -- admittedly at a financial and logistical disadvantage -- rather than to sell myself to the fucking PAP Singapore -- especially when it is at its most egregious moment!! I just want to fight for my self-respect and to defend my own privacy and rights! (Especially at home in my own house!) That's all I've got to say!
To paraphrase Neil Young:
The first thing you people have to understand about me is that no one -- not even any "leader" from the PAP Government or The Establishment -- tells me what to do! Never! It's just NOT going to work! I'm not going to listen, simple as that! What I'm saying is that I don't give a damn! Never have! Never will! And I do what I do, and I always have done! It's all I can do! I can't do anything else! If that means fighting against the Establishment over every article or book every time I write, then that's the way it's gotta be! It doesn't really bother me! You can't stand still! You don't stop, ever! If you stop, you're dead! And I'm not ready for that!
So I keep writing! And I don't care what people think! I just want to keep writing! I want to keep my mind sharp, my heart sensitive, my body alive, and my senses alert. Hey, that's my work! Working well! And to live well? My aim of living well has a criterion -- of genuine value! And to play well? Happiness, for me, must lie --always! -- in the present (as an achievement!).
Second Statement On My Intention Now:
I'm struggling as an independent, freedom-loving and thinking individualist against the collective spirit of a whole society (as determined by the elitist Establishment) -- sadly fettered by modern organizations, modern unreflectiveness and modern popular passions. (Are you listening to me, and receiving this new truth of mine -- my precious thoughts -- with a positive and respectful responsiveness?)
I've supposedly or allegedly "dangerous" thoughts about our social and political system and they are worried and fearful that I'll "infect" all these square holes and strait-laced roses (and yet still many others who're all too compromised by the system -- yes, to the hilt!) with my civilised "discontents" -- that's the position of someone who has been, for too long and inexplicably -- to yours truly, considered (i) a round peg in a square hole; and (ii) a horny thorn among the strait-laced roses (in the female comunity of the Estabnlishment)!
To paraphrase all those romantic singers and lyricists:
I'm a man who will fight for the honour of those square holes and strait-laced roses -- for the glory of LOVE! Ha! Ha! Ha! [Well, those Ladies in Red are certainly more desirable -- surely more honorable and gloriously memorable -- than those Ladies of the Night, who were -- at least and in reality and in actual practice -- AT (and BY) my side, and with whom I'd penetrative sexual intercourse in such a fitting manner! -- ah yes!, those wonderful Asian (especially and most recently, Chinese) Beauties that I've been patronizing for so long now!]
