graphic design commission

Dear Jez

Ah hahahaha your website is so funny… don’t worry, I’m not going to say your work is shit.
I’m out turning the internet upside down a bit pitching and out hunting for art and music contractors that I can work with.

So, just to introduce myself, my art only went as far as art foundation as I decided to do an academic degree; what I am doing now is to commission graphic art about neuroscience- yes neuroscience and nothing else.

I have my rusty Adobe Photoshop skills and did not look at my graphics portfolio for a couple of years, I know I can switch the MAC computer on and get designing and my skills will come back, but it is a rather large project.

May I just tell you what my project is about? Basically I am inviting you to do work 100 years late. I have identified a huge knowledge gap in the world and as I was reading up about TARA in America I realized that while there are 10 personality disorders as laid out by the professional psychologists, altogether they deserve the amount of attention that cancer gets, due to their seriousness and the number of lives that are affected by them, but the issue just does not receive such attention because of the huge barriers to knowledge transfer. I am specifically interested in bringing knowledge of 2 personality disorders to the world, the least well-known ones- the narcissistic and anti-social personality disorder. Anti-social personality disorder really has nothing to do with anti-social behaviour at all; ASPD is very much more serious than throwing things through windows and whatnot.

Now, I have read over 50 books on the subject, enough to make me sick, and there are some basic facts that need to be communicated to the lots of lots of people out there because the vast majority of other methods used to reach them fail (failures in magazine journalism, newspaper journalism, central government education reforms as they chronically lack data to use for justification, professors write papers in publications but nobody reads them outside of academia). Yes, the other methods will work maybe 80 years late, that is just too late and I find it to be unacceptable. Something needs to cut in fast, and while I have enough content there to generate enough songs to be published across a dozen albums (I published 2 songs last year), I also want to support endeavours in graphic design.

Anti-social personality disorder is also called sociopathy. What teachers did not tell me in high school, when they were teaching me about smoking, anorexia, drink-driving, please-don’t-take-heorin, is that, sociopaths (or psychopaths) are very difficult to spot, most are Not. serial killers and most of them live well outside of the prison, we assume that we’d be able to spot a psychopath if we ever saw one but that is not true- victims do not know something is wrong for a year or two when they know the psychopath well, then one day, the truth is revealed and everything crashes. History repeats itself in a new place. The diagnostic statistical manual (fourth edition) gives a diagnostic criteria for anti-social personality disorder, even Dr. Robert Hare- an expert in the field- failed to distinguish a sociopath in his own personal life.

Now this sounds scary as hell, so the purpose of the graphic design project is to look at broad trends and broad patters, population statistics and case studies, common themes, and lay the facts down digitally and on paper. This enables people to absorb important knowledge when they are relaxed and can take it easy so they are stimulated and intrigued, and be able to use the knowledge one day, rather than when they are deeply traumatized and they read psychology books full of words but cannot concentrate or heal. Magazine journalists want to interview the victims, but some of them died of suicide and the remaining suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, one symptom of this is the inability to recall what happened. So how are interviewees supposed to give information if they cannot use their brains to recall what happened? As a child I assumed that the only time people would suffer memory loss was if there was a big crash in something like a car accident, but actually PTSD causes memory loss as well. People have lost life as it is but they do not even know why that is, in a way that is doubly tragic. This explains why for as long as human civilization has existed, this vicious cycle has existed and currently it is a terrible burden on the British tax system since each ASPD costs £ 31,240 per year with no hope of rehabilitation. This is something that I found really tough, they really cannot reform their characters, by the age of 15 that’s that and nothing that therapists will ever do will actually be of any help, until someone wins the Nobel Prize with a cure I suppose. I wish sociopaths could just swallow a pill and sort it all out, but there is no pill.

My email is probably so bloody long that you want to turn all this into typography. The graphic design project is manageable as it is turning neuroscience facts to graphics. There are some key facts about the condition: 4 % of the population are sociopathic, they have an inaccurate perception of self and are never able to view events accurately no matter how intelligent they are, lives are devastated beyond repair and I am an exceptionally fortunate victim as I have received spiritual support from an Earl, a Lord, a Right Honourable, Chairmen of companies whom I fiercely protected, which was such a long story… well I protected so I was protected, ultimately, in return…

This project is loved by a dozen doctors that I talked to, various British politicians that I talked to (what they hate the most is a destructive burden on the tax system), the Harvard professors who wrote letters to me, the UCL professors who wrote letters to me, 2 lawyers who have somehow become fans of my music and that is so random- ., people who’ve cried on my shoulder etc. I need to write a more detailed business plan, finished books can be published (I don’t know much about the processes of book publishing but can put things online first) and formulate something like a save-a-friend scheme, school teachers are not capable of saving us on this front until 80 years or so later and so a teenage kid can spend 5 quid on buying a graphics book (that hasn’t got an education agenda but is actually education) because given the 4% figure, the friend will probably need the knowledge one day given the life expectancy is 79 years old, and while we cannot realistically avoid persons with anti-social personality disorder we can realistically make dramatic improvements on how a person copes once the worst has happened.

So would you like to do some of this work? Harvard Professors are dying for more awarness since they don’t want doctors to have to pick up PTSD patients who are almost dead, intervention needs to work a number of steps before PTSD- for the same reason our school teachers told us what anorexia was when we were in high school because once the problem gets too serious, things are out of hand and it is all too late.

Martha Stout won the ‘Book for a Better Life Award’ by publishing the book ‘The Socipoath Next Door’, I should do the knowledge-sharing and demand an award…

100 years late!!!

If possible, you can give this proposal to tutors at art college as well!

You’re having your summer holiday anyway so come out!

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

In life, in some areas there can be no transparency, I want to know some things but not knowing them makes me feel lonely. Nonetheless, I might as well pray for those people who probably suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder from working with a colleague who has anti-social personality disorder, oh heck, all the torture and daily sinister deeds.........

Music Recording and my vulgar body

I know I am still very busy, but I will share a few experiences from making recordings of music.

My singing self can have food& fuel issues, an ordinary amount of foodstuffs inside my system is not necessarily enough for the task of singing. I don't know how you find it if you're a singer, but I tend to need to go into a session on a full stomach.

I also need to be very fully hydrated, but then when I recorded songs last time, I was burping here and there under such well-fed conditions which was of course undesirable... In normal circumstances, gentle burping here and there wouldn't be any significant issue, but while all of the recording equipment was out, it became challenging!

From the singing recently, the O sound has been stronger than most other vowels... It is hard work and even harder work at a recording, to the extent that I actually felt devastated after a recording session last time... I am a highly trained artist too and the tutors always said being a high-quality artist is a case of having minor nervous breakdowns from working so hard, I find this to be perfectly true, about us creative people.

I've been doing fast singing recently, wait, how the hell does it work to go from having such a remarkably traumatized heart to fast singing... it's so high-energy. Slow songs are kinder for the time being.

Calling All Actors and All Actresses!! Now! Not 125 years later

Dear Nez

Hi!!!!! I haven't seen you for ages, I'm just being cheeky writing to you- how're you doing? I am actually writing to you about comedy, drama, and even potentially a bit of TV.

Vicky is coming to see us in a couple of weeks... I saw her 3 times last year... was eating strawberries and drinking champagne.

I know I'm really busy and shouldn't write too many emails, but there's stuff I'm going to do.

Basically, I propose to do (a) music making to produce songs about elementary neuroscience (b) potentially graphic books about neuroscience issues, in the category of entertainment and comedy, I do have very decent art skills from art foundation and (c) maybe tentatively , the making of comedy to related themes. I've been doing comedy improv for fun, it's hilarious, but anything acting-related is stuff I feel I have the least understanding of: I got a grade 7 in acting, I don't even know what that means.

So, to get to the point,
all of this is because I have come to realise that the world faces a huge challenge, a huge problem that is barely publicized. In a way, it is a medical- physiological problem, on the same scale as cancer in terms of how many lives are ruined/ affected but the media does not talk about it nearly enough. Thinking of perspectives from the history of medicine, it's a lot of waiting and anticipating before someone wins the Nobel Prize and finally gets the cure, but a lot of suffering before that. To be clear, the problem is narcissistic personality disorder and anti-social personality disorder.

So, what's the relevance to comedy and entertainment? For reasons that really take quite some time to explain, comedy is potentially one of the very few effective means of engaging attention on this issue, which is also why I want to produce semi-popular music on it as it's one of the very few effective means of raising attention.

This is not meant to trivialize the predicament of victims, but to reach out to people with basic scientific facts that they need before they get into serious trouble, so my mission has a huge humanitarian motivation.

To get more specific about acting, and what acting-related stuff I can do, I am hoping that I will be able to work with writers/ actors to get the talented actors to act out something, hopefully film it with any odd domestic equipment/ semi-domestic equipment, and do something with it in a business plan, send it out everywhere to people who need to see it the most (nearly 100% of the population, really. Fine, if they have the patience, go into the British libarary to dig out books published by Yale University Press instead like I did...)

I don't really know how the commissioning structures of the drama world work, but narcissistic sociopaths, also called persons with Anti-social personality disorder, cost 31,240 pounds of tax per sociopath per year, incurring a huge and incredible amount of human suffering (myself being one victim. So I am trying to act fast instead of leaving the problem there for 100 years or so, the world has wrestled with this problem unsuccessfully for the past 100 years, in fact, for the past 2000 years.

In terms of the sketch itself, it would be good if the writer(s) (and I have relevant knowledge from reading 12 psychology books) can concentrate on a few concepts:

-the obsessive concern with the age of 15
-the concept of permanence, something that doesn't revert back to what it was before
-one character changing his life's history with every new character coming along- where he was born, in what circumstances he was born in, who his parents were, who his extended family were
-most importantly, a sketch on deception. According to the DSM-IV, diagnostic statistical manual of mental disorders fourth edition, pathological lying is one prominent condition of antisocial personality disorder, and it succeeds for a while, even up to a year sometimes, because of the processes of socialization and unsuspecting victims.

etc.
these are some provisional ideas.
I was really shocked to learn that anti-social personality disorder is set by the age of 15. It was one hell of a super difficult job for me to even get through to the word 'sociopath' as my school never told me anything about them. I didn't realise most psychopaths are not serial killers (psychopaths are sociopaths) and I didn't realise that most sociopaths actually live outside prison and I didn't realise that 4% of the population are actually sociopathic, getting through twice a dozen victims each year and it is like that every year since the age of 15. People need to know this so that they are better at staying away and avoiding them fast. I didn't manage to avoid it all, but was fighting fraud fiercely in summer '09 and Earl of Home wrote me a nice letter when he was on holiday and he called himself David....!!!!!

We don't really normally think about the age of 15. Recently, I've been quite obsessively interested in the age of 8 because of greek mythological stuff that I've been enjoying in my leisure time, this princess got a vision on her 8th birthday, on the prince's 8th birthday something would happen- ah nice.
I'm just thinking, it could be nice to do some social drama, but still drama of good quality- not drama of diminished quality because its social nature gives some excuse for the quality to be reduced.

So: I could have 2 13-yr-old characters having a fun chat, talking about how life will be like at the age of 15;
in another scene, I could have 3 15-yr-old characters having a fun chat about oh HOW FIFTEEN WE ARE!!!
Then in yet another scene, have some 18yr old, 20yr old, 35yr old, 55yr old etc. characters reminiscing about things that happened when they were fifteen- totally unrelated to antisocial personality disorder. It's all a laugh.

So this is a sketch obsessively going on about being fifteen years old, and the audience needs to be very gently introduced to the occurrence of anti-social personality disorder by the age of 15, maybe in a screen with text written on it, and this is really the unfunny part. But, they need to realise that a problem exists so that if it affects them and they encounter an ASPD (for example, anaroexia is another problem , etc) they know where to begin research and access other scientific facts, like it is just not their fault, ASPDs are remorseless (which is the chilling thing) , etc.

Inevitably, this is very sensitive, but telling people out there is a lot better than leaving them out there to die, people need to know that problems are out there so they can figure out how to handle them, not remain oblivious to them at their peril. Likewise, I think a sketch on deception could be really awesome and fun, but this also has the very serious side and the fun is not meant to be at the expense of suffering victims etc. it is there to prevent suffering more than the status quo reduces suffering. The sketch can just be based on some very basic domestic scenarios, 'did you take my hand mirror?? Do you know anything about it? ' ... 'nope', that kind of stuff

Just to give you some reasons/ notes on why people do not already know about personality disorders:

psychologists with PhDs who've been based at Harvard for 20+years etc. have felt incredibly frustrated that the media does not raise nearly enough attention that the issue deserves. This is at the expense of ordinary people who suffer the most
the media don't even write the word 'sociopath' in the magazines, newspapers etc, for fear of getting sued by that sociopath in a 100,000 pounds defamation lawsuit. Even if the magazine successfully defends, it is possible that the sociopath will never be able to pay the defence costs from getting ordered by the courts to pay it, so even if the sociopath goes bankrupt, the media organizations has lost 100,000 pounds or so- and may have to file for bankruptcy too. Basically, we have to rely on far less traditional means of getting the message out.
a lot of victims die, like they're made homeless then they die of some random disease, they die of post-traumatic stress disorders etc, suicide etc., out of those who live, most do not want to talk about their traumas. The government gets very inaccurate statistics on the number of cases etc., they really should recommend to the boards of education that all 16-yr-olds and 17-yr-olds should be educated about antisocial personality disorder, the same way they are educated about smoking, contraceptives, anaroexia, gender differences etc. But as the information they're getting is so inaccurate, it's not enough for them to rely on to propose educational schemes. So most people still grow up into people who don't understand some of the dangers that they have to face, in my case my life was going great and then it completely fell apart and Parliament has been taking good good care of me, phoning me up more often than my friends call me!

Okay then, without meaning to make this email even longer, I hope I haven't scared you off completely!!! So I basically have a social drama proposal, at least I want to tell you about it even though I don't quite know what directions you're going in and I don't know if you'll be able to do anything about it. But I am certain that the TV will have to cover this stuff somehow. If it is really boring nobody will pay attention and few will be saved, that's also the problem. I could just go and write the studies/ sketches on deception etc., it is just so time-consuming and I wouldn't mind working with someone to take some workload off. I am very happy to utilize the knowledge in psychology that I've had to gain (no one helped me really!!!! So I had to do it myself! Painful, read so many books that it made me sick, I've got studied by sociologists in Texas and psychologists too) . Music-wise I'll be out hunting for a guitarist and composer, I have music 'oh... they are so bad for you..... they're bad for fish eyes... bad for frogs' legs... bad for cats' tails.... bad for you and me.... they are sociopaths'

I don't really believe in bitter things like writing letters to press for the release of prisoners who're imprisoned for complicated reasons, human rights issues. The difficulty with this sort of thing is that it can accomplish little, make me feel bitter and depressed when I wasn't directly involved, and even add some risk to myself in making my name and address known to some really quite scary people. I would rather be joyous and proposing to save the world at the same time, I don't want to wait for so many deaths in the next 100 years for me to wonder hmmm shall I do something about this then?

I don't think it does any harm for a writer and even some actors to work with me. It is about a set of generic stuff, not connected with any one person's particular case. It's disconnected from politics and law (often 2 very sensitive and controversial things) so I don't think professionals can get their lives into trouble from doing this project, it's just helping people. I've already told my ex-landlordie actors about all this, I can always contact every writer-actor I can think of, even if I get through over a hundred who're all doing something else I am sure I will eventually make a link with the appropriate writers/ actors who will get up and get all of this work done, under whatever commissioning structures and systems that they find feasible. It's far better than waiting and waiting for stuff that will never get done. But if you know anyone who is interested in this project, please send them all my way!!

Happy Easter

George Galloway and Charity Commission

10th March 2010
To: George Galloway MP, House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA
Dear George Galloway MP,
I have been a constituent of Right Honourable ** and I have been seeing him more often than my own friends, due to some serious issues, but on this occasion I am writing to you about the Charity Commission.
I have had my struggles with the Charity Commission and a quick internet search revealed that your opinion of the Charity Commission is consistent with what I have to say about this Charity Regulator, sadly speaking.
To be brief, I have had more than enough knowledge of a serious incident that took place at the registered educational charity that is *#@#*@# UK. This is mainly because they had the misfortune of employing a man whom I can now say is a sociopath with 100% confidence, someone who practically turned the place upside down. Other words for ‘sociopath’ include ‘anti-social personality disorder’ and ‘psychopathy’, which is permanent. In January 2009, I reported *****. Recently, I have had 2 formal documents for the Charity Commission to prove the damage of reputation as the charity tried to sue me for defamation. The case had no legal strength as the information that I disclosed to 1000 or so persons was so factual and provable with hard evidence, but the letters from lawyers (originally to me) do prove the damage of reputation concerning this registered educational charity and that is within the Charity Commission’s definition of what a serious incident is.
I am not a Trustee and it is not my job to report a serious incident. Here I am, writing letters to the Charity Commission to say they should at least log the Serious Incident and I also have indicators that there has been significant interference with the work of the charity which is also within the Commission’s definition of what a serious incident is, but even without such indicators, a serious incident already occurred last summer. The Charity Commission has read the 2 documents with the evidence that Asia House’s reputation was substantially damaged by August 2009, then they wrote back to me saying there was no evidence of the damage to its reputation. This is incredible. In the reporting of misconduct initially in early 2009, all that I wanted was to sleep at night, in peace, in warning the whole community of Mr. Sociopath who ‘got through’ a remarkable number of victims in just one year, and from the middle of ’09 to about now I had to write to Charity Commission employees to tell them to please do their jobs after all of it. Ironically, I am the true charity volunteer. Zealously helping and not paid at all. I have to feel concerned about the implications of the Commission’s incompetence and thus I feel quite anxious about the most vulnerable members of our society that are in the greatest need of charitable help- the homeless, alcoholics, the physically disabled, the bereaved, and so forth.

Is there anything that you and/or I can do to drive the Charity Commission into please doing their jobs? This issue should affect your constituents extensively as a great number of them will be in need of charitable help at some stage and a great number of them are volunteers. Of course, the public purse has no money really for this evil institution to waste on what you call the ‘hysterical campaign’. I find it incredibly frustrating that the Charity Commission interferes in cases where it should not and on the other hand, will not do the most basic paperwork in the universe in other cases– the logging of a serious incident, even when that is already 7 months late (which is ridiculous in the first place anyway). I thought it was a formal legal requirement.
So what plans do you and the rest of Parliament have to make the Charity Commission please do their jobs? I welcome any ideas as that would also encourage me to sleep at night…

Yours sincerely,

Business plans for crocodile music

Dear M-P

Hellooooooo!! Hope your teachers are supportive of you (they seem to have a history of being unsupportive) and that you haven't been playing too much monopoly lately.. hehe

I was meant to email you earlier but didn't have the time... so are you still watching 'Dragon's Den', and what have you learnt from it?? I vaguely looked at it, wow it's so tough to be an entrepreneur, in a way it's a bit dirty really... a few attacks here and there... I guess that is necessary because the entrepreneurial world is highly demanding...

As I registered a company in my name in the middle of last year no. 696**** I got bullied the hell out of doing anything much really being a public sector employee at the time, what a shame...
but now that I'm in the Asia-Pacific Region I think I probably need to register it as a 'foreign' business and run all the business accounts from here. Aaahhh if I was a qualified accountant and bookeeper, I could do it all myself and wouldn't need to pay someone to do it- heheheh...

Something on the side...

I basically want to commission a whole load of music that educate the public about basic neuroscience facts, mainly to educate people about anti-social personality disorder... there are about 10 different personality disorders and I think I'll concentrate on 2-3. I have identified a gap in the 'MARKET' because this is something that really needs to be done but journalists won't be talking about it in the newspapers and magazines for fear of bankruptcy-inducing 100,000 pounds defamation lawsuits (which is a bit of a complicated story), teachers should tell you about this stuff now at school when they tell you all about the anaroexia etc. but this sort of thing won't happen for ANOTHER 30 - 50 years or so because the government are getting highly inaccurate statistics of the problems, grossly under-reported problems, and we can't wait for 50 YEARS for something that really needs to be done when it needs to be done now, basically, so that's my mission.

So my issue is that I struggle to think in an entreprenurial sort of way, I wasn't born with the entrepreneurial blood flowing within my veins so this is a bit of a disadvantage, possibly. My brother's the complete opposite as he's done so many awesome entrepreneurial things since he was about 12, making a profit on foreign exchange, even making a profit from selling second hand DVDs and light bulbs.... he is totally hilarious! I have zero history-inclination of being entrepreneurial. But I will basically put crocodiles into songs, having amused Parliament and got telephone calls from Parliamentary employees to tell me that my songs are entertaining, ...
I hear a few stories about people with anti-social personality disorders eating pencils which is weird so I can go and put that into songs too.

It's not technically complicated to make songs, I grab a guitarist, write the songs, get someone to compose, record... But I think I need to be cleverer than paying someone 50 - 60 pounds each time I do something (which then becomes a financial burden) and if I seek PARTNERS there are trust issues and I want to be autonomous- I want to have complete control of the material and make sure I will be able to get it out and make sure I will be using it to help people without hindrance. There will also be important music marketing plans in the (much) later stage, 14/ 15 yr olds don't mind being able to listen to a few FREE songs on the internet to amuse themselves when they're actually getting educated more than when teachers tell them not to smoke; so how do the business plans work, this will be important as well at a later stage; ;

There're people who've got more musicianship than I have but I am able to identify a need from reading so many psychology, psychiatry and sociology books that it has made me sick, so combined with my own compassion I've formulated a manifesto.- -.... I think this is Okay and I do not need to feel I am inferior to those concert pianists or something. They do other things that I cannot do, and it is not as if they are determined to cut a lot of crap in the next 50 years to help a lot of people now or close to now, and I certainly do not want to wait for another 125 years. There are reasons why blocks of 125 years are conceptualized but never mind that, really. There isn't particularly any time for me to wait for people to suffer in the next 50 years and instead of me sitting around wondering if I can do something about it I should just go and do it... there is nothing to lose and my 'business enterprise' does not require any capital investment. It's not as if it's possible to lose a chunk of money.

So I don't know how I'll really get on in the later stages, but I'll need to refrain from making any financial / business arrangements that don't make so much sense and I'll need to formulate business plans and business relationships that make the optimum amount of sense so at some point this may become a bit of a struggle for me because the entrepreneurial blood is not flowing within me....
It might work to pay some fees for music production out of my salary a couple of times and sign the copyright legal paperwork, but it might emerge that there is a cleverer way of doing things,

Do you understand what I am saying??? Not matter what I've got to make the decisions that are good and not hide in my own non-entrepreneurial shell...

Ahhh so I may need to call you for business advice, which is just so ironic to have a 26-year-old calling a SIXTEEN-year-old for business advice and business strategy recommendations!! hahahahahaha....
It's still ever so easy to make you a co-director of a British-registered company, I just sign a name on a piece of paper... lol lol lol lol. nnnnnaaaaahhhhh, I would not want to ruin your life with a bit of a history of political activism, even though I can detach all upcoming activities from it, and I am sure your HOMEWORK at school is more important than running a company and being a director, isn't it? lol lol.

Business advice! Business Advice!!! Business plans!! Oh the company directorship conferences and meetings! ah...
