Exactly How The "Jeopardy Guy" Will Lose

He's become "the Jeopardy Guy" - with his amazing accumulation of wins and unique style - to become an icon for game show history - and now an internet sensation. But you only hit this story to find out how he is going to lose, right?

Well before that.....

First...he's changed the entire Jeopardy game in less than 3 weeks play. As watchers know... he generally is starting with the hardest and most valuable (moneywise) question in the category - to accumulate the MOST money possible BEFORE he encounters the "daily double"....which he then goes "all in" in round one every time. And, he generally is the one to find that and every daily double - because of his unrelenting board control. 

Indeed...the breadth of his knowledge boarders on having an imbedded computer in his brain, as it is nearly instantaneous with answers in most categories. It's easy to imagine he is "cheating" (remember the 64,000 Dollar Question in the olden days?) in some sort of manner (questions in advance at the minimum) especially with that coyish smile he carries.

Alright...so how does he lose? Well, there is the slightest chance that he will get carried away and bet stupidly...but as a professional gambler..that isn't likely. No one is going to go into Final Jeopardy double their score and catch him betting too much and losing with a wrong answer. NO ONE. So, might he bet a lot of his total and miss TWO of the Double Jeopardy's? And...therefore be catchable by some other contestant? All I can say is it is very doubtful. Indeed...these are about the only ways he can so-called "lose", in the old idea of the game --- and it's simply - highly unlikely.

No, the Jeopardy Guy will NOT lose... ever. He will ONLY BE BEATEN BY THE EXACT SAME STRATEGY - and even then, there will need to be a special circumstance IMO. What it will take is a "match" between James Holzhauer and someone worthy. Note that I said... someone. NOT two other competitors...one competitor will have to be literally non-existent and a non factor. That and only that will produce the "match" aspect between the Jeopardy Guy and the challenger.

Then, the challenger will need to adopt THE EXACT STYLE used already by James Holzhauer - nothing else will work. I'm already looking for that one competitor who goes all in on the first round Double Jeopardy. Oh...and a weird mix of categories would be helpful too.... If no one adopts the new style and soon... this guy could break the bank and beat the house.

Castaneda's `Structure Of Perception' - The Structural Analysis

Believe it or not - this blog is noted for the word `Carlos' in search engines - due to a few posts about Carlos Castaneda.

But, perhaps, Barf Stew is ultimately an excellent description for the works of the writer Carlos Castaneda.

`Barf' due to the fact that perhaps Don Juan was a fabrication and the near certain possibility that all (IMO, except for an interesting possibility that the first may be `a little true') the books are complete fiction.

And, `Stew' due to the fact that, without question, his writings explored at least a few ideas that were seemingly `new' (controlled lucid dreaming-world) that many people were able to experience just by following his methods.

But, today - I'd like to explore the idea behind the title of today's post. You see, unless you actually read Carlos's first book - you missed the whole point. I mean it.

Because, at the end of the first book - Carlos actually explains the whole book in terms which clearly describe that he is himself describing a reality `structure' OF perception - with the example experiences in the book. Literally, different realities existing - WITHIN - spaces of  agreed `description'. With access to that reality gained by understanding the `perception clues' - all pointing to a `structure'.

So, he does that at the very end of the book - literally after the end of the `story' ------ in an area called  `Part Two' - A Structural Analysis. And, when I searched Google with those words I found this link with the very section I'm writing about today. (Link at end of post)

Here are some of the highlights of this link and the concept itself.

The `structure' involved a `man of knowledge' - who had an `ally' - the `ally' had a `rule' & finally - the `rule' was corroborated by `special consensus'.

Simple right?

But, let's do a little interpreting - and, even apply it to Carlos's most famous idea of Controlled lucid dreaming.

First, as a knower of his ideas - you could be a `man of knowledge' - (your starting point, your being, your being influenced by his writings) - Next - you would use your `ally' in dreaming - that would be the `trigger' - your ally - of purposely looking for and looking AT your `dream hands' - bringing them `consciously' in front of your dream eyes for viewing.

The `rule' at that point - was that to `gain more space within that reality' the man of knowledge would have to `change focus from the hands to other locations past the hands - establishing a location in the reality - the reality NOW having `special consensus'.

By following the above techniques - many folks, readers, of Castaneda's works WERE able to experience `special consensus' realities. Many WERE able to expand the literal size and scope of the dream world and abilities with the intentionality they possessed. Able to move about - to do things. To actualize more reality.

All because of being able to `perceive' (have perception of) a `structure'. But, it's really even easier than that - if - you think in terms of phenomenology.

Simply, one dreaming space (you) - anchors your dreaming space into a location via finding your body dream hands - (a space extending in the dream reality) - AND, establishing PERCEPTION in this new reality with a location to see from. Next, looking PAST ones `hands', `brings more space to explore'. One literally has a location - a space-time - in a special consensus reality.

Which brings us to our Barf Stew question; could most `paranormal' experiences be happening thru a `similar structure' process? A similar phenomenology? Could `perception itself' be a structure which is learned?

Thanks for stopping by today. Here's some links.
