"13+1"

By Rock Shawn

Synopsis

Book 13+1 is a unique book written in its own genre, which does not resemble any other books I have read before. It may seem chaotic in the beginning, but as the reader advances, it becomes coherent and interconnected.

The main challenge in writing a narrative arc for me is the inability to narrate this book. Having an advanced degree from a well-known and accredited university, I have been trained in different writing techniques, but I intentionally did not maintain any of them. The book has no characters, no story, and no single plot. This aspect makes 13+1 something very unusual. The book consists of 13 chapters and one (+1) short, philosophical story at the end. The main challenge in summarizing this book is that every chapter is a book on its own. One may think of it as 14 books condensed into one small book. So, in a way, it is a summary on its own. While writing this manuscript, the goal was to condense and immerse the reader in each specific chapter, discussing something unthinkable before, and at the same time, not linking the chapters so that each chapter could stand alone. 13+1 invites the reader to step aside from the normal daily routine and rethink and reconsider the most important values, beliefs, and logical deductions that have been taken for granted for centuries based solely on faith that they must be correct. 13+1 is an attempt to flip the coin and show the reader the other side of life and traditions, which many forget in this modern high-speed, high-technology life cycle. The book touches on many subjects that have been considered untouchable for centuries and have been taken for granted. 13+1 asks wild, eyebrow-raising questions and then gradually and methodically provides answers to them, explaining why these questions must be brought to existence and reconsidered. It brings up new concepts and metaphysical notions while questioning the old values and beliefs. This is the only book I know that will generate a wide range of emotional effects on readers. I presume the emotional impact from reading 13+1 will range from discussion and anger all the way up to admiration and followers. Rest assured, it will definitely give readers of the book something to contemplate and discuss chapter by chapter for a good while. I strongly believe that if presented to the right audience, 13+1 should generate a tremendous resonance in the advanced book readers' community with a considerable ripple effect. According to my extensive research, nothing quite similar has ever been written before, and it will require some effort from the reader to stay closer to the logical side while pushing away emotions and feelings in order to reach the end of it and make an unbiased logical analysis of the chapters read.

Respectfully,

RP.

Introduction

Don’t shoot the messenger.

Only those who make absurd attempts can reach the impossible (Albert Einstein). Please do not be alarmed by the long and complicated writing style description above. I wrote this book in a very simple and fun manner to make it interesting, short, and easy to read. Some of the chapters in this book may be overwhelming; therefore, I suggest stepping back, thinking about it for a few hours or days, and then getting back to the book. It took me about 30 years of advanced research, analysis, traveling the world, and educating myself to dare to write about these subjects. All 13 thoughts described in this book are the final products of my brain. I have very few citations because I was writing this book with a disconnected router out of fear of plagiarism. Having a graduate degree from a well-respected USA university and speaking fluently in 5 languages, I have been trained in writing styles and techniques in all of these languages. However, I am not going to maintain any of them. I will intentionally put myself at a disadvantage by not using proper writing techniques, which may make the essay dull and unattractive. My goal is not to become famous or gain popularity. I also realize that people with extraordinary thoughts usually get shot, hung, burned, or sent to asylums and prisons. Nevertheless, I am asking my readers to step back after reading my book and take a good, neutral look around and inside their minds. People don't like change. Extreme thoughts like mine are doomed to failure, but only for now. In a few years, some of my predictions will start turning into truth. I am asking you to take a different angle and look at this world in a way you've never looked before. I am asking a lot. Nobody is safe anymore. Only when the entire world acts as one can it prevail. We are at the point where we have to make a selection. There is a train heading our way, and we are standing in its path. Humanity has a few options: either step aside or stay still. We will all act only when we see that the train is coming, but if I could convince my readers that we are standing on the rails and the deadly train is coming, I would feel that I achieved something with these chapters. Each of these chapters is an expression of my thoughts in its initial stage. None of them has been fully developed; hence, they require some additional work and research. This book will at least give my readers something to think about, and some aspects of it may even require contemplation. The first chapter is about the development and evaluation of medicine, the role of medicine in human evolution, population, and the outcomes humanity has reached due to medical advances. I am going to show how the science of medicine has evolved from something noble and altruistic to a ruthless money-making mechanism. From doctors walking miles from one village to another guided by the Hippocratic Oath, to doctors sitting in their offices with dozens of nurses impatiently waiting for 5 pm to go on their multimillion-dollar boats to have fun with cocaine and prostitutes. I am going to show humanity, who still goes to churches and mosques, but decides on their own who is going to live and who is going to die, where to bend the rules and where to maintain them strictly. Humanity keeps 90-year-old people on oxygen and catheterizations for $3,000 a day, while 9-year-old promising and healthy children die of hunger, heat, or cold on the streets. I am going to tell you the secret of why the world's science and scientists are limited to researching and exploring only those subjects that are being funded by businessmen and have no time to look at more important problems. I will shed light on a world society in which 30% of hardworking people feed the remaining 70% of people while avoiding talking about it and acting as if everything is normal. I will talk about people who have broken all of God's and nature's laws just to live in extreme luxury and comfort today. Those very people who will die protecting their children today, but want to have nothing to do with their children's future in forty or fifty years. People who have changed and damaged the natural life cycle of germs, bacteria, and their own DNA without having any clue about the possible long-term outcome, guided only by revenue, popularity, and today's comfort. I will share a secret of why we are ready to spend trillions on Mars quests but want to have nothing to do with cleaning trash on Earth. I am going to shed light on a new way of living, describe the possible outcomes and inevitability of the upcoming disaster, and explain and assess the risks we are facing, suggesting corrections and remedies. I will introduce COA, SFRCS, DS systems, and COA tests, which must be implemented ASAP. I will explain and describe why and how governments, corporations, and conglomerates hide, mask, and distract the population from thinking or exploring these forbidden areas of our daily lives. I will attempt to sound an alarm and send out SOS signals on a sinking boat, where most of the passengers are so involved with drinking and dancing that they cannot even see that their ship is sinking. I will put a time stamp with my signature in my (Chapter 9 De Facto) for a guy who will read my book, laugh, and burn it in his fireplace because he owns a fishing or hunting company or something similar, hence he dislikes any ideas interfering with his cash flow or lifestyle. I will clearly explain the path and proximity of the upcoming disaster. I will describe and illustrate modern humanity working on nanotechnologies and living by rules and laws invented 6,000 years ago by half-naked people residing in caves. Corporations installing forced induction air intakes on wheels invented over 10,000 years ago and making us buy it because it would be too expensive for them to rebuild or modify their plants and factories. Frankly speaking, the situation is hopeless. We are in 2023, taking off our masks after this devastating pandemic of COVID-19, which killed millions of lives, mutated into three different forms, developed almost full immunity to the most advanced antibiotics and modern medications, and the lesson we took away from it was to keep social distance and wash our hands. This is what I call masking the current situation, distracting the population, and misleading people. Dear reader, what if we do not have space for this social distance? What if we are completely running out of water within the next 20 years to wash our hands, while all of the pressure washing services operate on potable water? What if I prove that most of the ruling civilized codes, legal systems, moral and ethical rules are not suitable or obsolete due to our advanced technology and overpopulation factors? Nobody likes change, including myself. We do not like change because it interferes with our comfort zone. However, I understand that the problems I describe in this book will not go away if I get home and close my doors and windows. These problems leak through my door gaps, pipes, and find their way into my home — problems such as air, water, people, food, bills. Topics touched upon in these chapters usually receive a stamp of Confidential and get locked up in file cabinets, out of sight, out of mind, with the writer as well. Unfortunately, we are the last generation who can afford to keep these topics in those secret file cabinets locked up. My book is an attempt to explain that our children will have to bear the outcomes of our decisions inevitably. This book is the key for those file cabinets, and it is only our choice whether to use it or not. This book briefly and clearly explains that if we take no action, our children will have no choice. Yes, it is an ugly, unattractive, problematic, expensive, cumbersome, and bothering truth that we managed to keep outside for a long time by keeping our doors locked and curtains down, but the time has come where it cannot be ignored anymore because it is about to explode. I am that lucky guy who is going to dig into this trash can, trying to make sense out of it. Alas, I always wanted to write about something charming and romantic, but I presume that share was not put on my plate. I hope you will enjoy the book, make new discoveries, and learn while reading it; encounter thoughts that never came across, different views and angles that will be introduced to you. I have accumulated some knowledge through education and research, which I would like to express in these 13 chapters. Many of these thoughts may seem too extreme to the reader. Some of these thoughts may have already been expressed by someone in the past. Many of the logical deductions introduced here are in finalized result to simplify reading, omitting the step-by-step chain of events. For example, the statement the earth cannot be saved in pieces is given as a final statement, omitting premises and the chain of events in order to not unnecessarily overcomplicate the book. I have also omitted all of the advanced calculations I made in Econometrics, Statistics, Biometrics, and Calculus to further simplify reading.

Chapter 2

Magic pills are here  

Sir Alexander Fleming had no clue about the magnitude or impact he made on this world. In my opinion, his invention is the most significant ever made by humanity. The impact of his invention has changed the natural life cycle for almost a century. Only now, after almost 100 years, bacteria have been able to mutate to the point of resistance in their DNA chain to survive modern antibiotics. Since 2016, very few new strain antibiotics have been developed. Up to this point, we have only observed the benefits and positive effects of antibiotics. Without Sir Alexander's invention, I would have died at least 17 years ago. The world's population has doubled in the last 50 years, and Penicillin has played a key role in the improved health and miraculous recoveries we have witnessed. We are now a population of 10 billion and continue to multiply. We have eradicated almost all other species from the face of the Earth and are utilizing this planet to its maximum capacity. It is in our nature to use resources without considering the consequences for the future, and this behavior is unlikely to change. The natural selective cycle has already been altered and disrupted. The death toll has decreased to unprecedented levels in human history, and life expectancy has increased from 40-60 years to 75-90 years. The normal cycle of bacteria has been altered, and unexpected mutations are occurring and evolving at a rapid pace, surpassing the abilities of science to keep up. Worldwide natural resources are nearly depleted, with Siberian Taiga trees being chopped down by over forty-five percent. The majority of animal species are either already extinct or on the brink of extinction. We have selectively increased the number of domesticated animals and
