Post Game Analysis; Square Payton Manning Loses Doper Bowl

I will stipulate that I didn't see the Super Doper Bowl between Seattle and Denver last Sunday, the entertainment industry's W.W.A. cavalcade of winners isn't to interesting especially when the sewing economic disorder broadcast media reports the event. Washington State and Colorado are the two states that legalized dope sales so how could they not be the favorites to win in the second term of the Obama administration. Washington State legalized homosexual marriage besides so that state had to beat the legal dope only with a square old-style quarterback that reminds some of Johny Unitas-another notorious square that didn't find playing with the dopey San Diego Chargers keen.

News reports of the other championship bowl games of Iraq and Afghanistan report that they are becoming losses through the reverse causality of the administration though they did have help with their foundations. New ways of producing another Vietnam are being delivered yet the financial costs of entering dubiously necessary contests without a syllogistically sound exit strategy will keep on compiling especially with Obamacare, post-traumatic stress injured vets for the next several decades along with their stressed families.

Bread and circuses were too popular with the plebians of Rome while the Empire developed its royal classes without a clear line of succession. It's lucky that Brit's royals have so many princes so they can become kings of the political economy for the next hundred years as the United States dissipates its notions of national independence. 

Seventeen trillion dollars is a lot of public debt, the broadcast media is a force of moral and economic disorder and Microsoft has named someone named Satya (n?) as it's full disclosure CEO at last and St. Ignatius was fed to wild beast in the Coloseum by the order of Emperor Trajan in 107 A.D. At least the fans of  doper bowls are satisfied with the way things are.

Utilitarian Argument Favors Political Interests of the 99% vs. the 1%

If 2500 billionaires on the planet-a small number equal to the population of a very small town such as I once lived in at Wrangell Alaska, can control 33 trillion of the world’s 250 trillion dollars of capital assets and if the 30,000 Ultra-High Net Worth individuals on the planet control perhaps 150 trillion together what are the prospects for egalitarianism in democracy for the United States? Isn’t it most likely that the 1% will manipulate the politics of the 99% and that the bought and paid for media will support the interests of the 1% prevalently?

I was thinking about the odd situation comparable to if the politics of the United States revolved around the city of Wrangell and if political theory and economics existed to support the right of the billionaires to have low low taxes and through Wall Street networking own much of everything in the nation and plenty of stuff abroad. That would be rather silly I think, and if the citizens of the United States had any of the stuff of the revolutionary founders of the nation they wouldn’t lay down for that.

I ought to say that the people of Wrangell are ordinary people except for a few perhaps and there aren’t any billionaires. In fact some Alaskans have built remote huts without electricity, running water and so forth without even power tools or a road to get building materials out to it. Instead they packed everything in themselves. Even so, the rights of those poor Alaskans are supposed to be equal politically to those of the billionaires of the nation (that total is less than the 2500 maximum in the world though, yet to be equitable, not all the people of Wrangell are registered voters).

In order to reform capital practice and advance preferred socially beneficial methods of political economy the electorate needs to actually have the power of self-determination. That term, self-determination is seldom used in political discourse these days. Formerly in cold war times against the evil empire self-determination was a prime rational for liberating the people of the Eastern bloc from communist government authoritarianism. The East bloc states of the Democrat Party (e.g. Massachusetts, New York, Vermont etc) seem to favor authoritarianism and concentrating wealth simultaneously-not especially political progress.

To reform political economy a polity of citizens needs to be sovereign and not ruled by expensive bought and paid for UHNW representatives, senators and Presidents. It is not enough to select non UHNW politicians, they must actually have an idea about how to reform the economy so competition is restored, sovereignty of the people and their borders are secured and the environmental disasters ahead over-ruled. It is possible to locate such individuals yet the prospects for electing any are nil today. Ralph Nadir was the last candidate with as much as 30% of the qualification for such a task.

I should say something about the straw man argument of socialism as the alternative to oligarchic irresponsible dialectical evolution of capitalism as is developing today in the class networked mode; its only one of an infinite number of possible reforms to capitalism. Examples of reform formats are limiting the size of corporations to 3000 employees, capping the number of corporations an individual may invest in directly or through mutual funds at three and indexing minimum wage to mean salaries of the top 25% of at something like a limit of 50:1. There is more motivation for the poor to invent and become rich than for the rich to invent or allow others to invent-instead they have a trait of networking, repressing inventors, repressing rival free enterprise and co-opting politics to their advantage.

The 99% cannot just redistribute income from the 1% as if everyone got it existentially from a practico-inert fairy cheese of the Universe with a finite size and everything will be hunkie dory. One must reform capitalism along real functioning principles such that it would produce full employment, satisfy the material and spiritual needs of the 99% (a good utilitarian argument exists for preferring the interests of the 99% over the 1%) including the freedom to allow worship of God without coercion from any sort of authority.

There may be an approaching economic disaster stalking the world like a vast tidal wave over the horizon in an era before electronic communication and when sailing ships were the fastest boats on the sea. Unlike that period when it took months to cross 5000 miles today that distance is just a few hours away and for an economic tsunami much closer; it could occur at the speed of light through electronic trading and financial collapse or biological designer weapons could be unleashed from the increasing arsenal of Pandora’s vast bio-research box. Global warming could transition the world into a proto-Venus through a cascade of doom as CO2 levels steadily rise with sulphurous tar sands and perpetual reliance on automobiles and roads to kill off bio-diversity threatening the rich tapestry of life on Earth that is interwoven and inter-dependent for its evolution.

It is believed that the 2008 Wall Street meltdown was just a vague outline of the economic collapse lurking inn the shadows for Americans and even the world economy. Innumerable writers and economists have described several of its parameters as the blind men once described the elephant. It is time to consider restoring national economic independence and the well being of the 1% even as the nation helps with good Christian neighborliness our friends in the world.

Ideas for Next Generation Nook/Ebook Readers

Nooks with audio reading accompanied by appropriate bouncing-ball along highlighted text would be an invaluable tool for teaching literacy and increasing vocabulary and comprehension. The audio reading could be built it yet with capacity for downloaded upgrades yet some books could be designed for audio e-book reading by pros with a phrase of highlighted text moving simultaneously. Mathematics instruction e-books could have highlighted formulae and geometric elements. What else besides solar recharging ability, more storage space and lower cost would be good for instructing the third world with super-cheap units and access to a U.N. free e-book library?

Davos, St. Moritiz or Auschwitz for the Rich? Tom Perkin's Archetype of the Rich's Unconscious

Tech billionaire Tom Perkins may have expressed a class consciousness archetype for the rich’s collective unconscious fear that people of the world who aren’t Ultra High Net Worth individuals might awaken from their dogmatic slumber and send the rich who control most of the world’s approximate 250 trillion dollars of capital assets to a new Auschwitz rather than Davos, St. Moritz or wherever it is the rich skink off to for plotting hostile takeovers and leveraged buy outs of the remaining non-networked aspects of the free world economy.

For the .6% that control most capital assets the chance of being removed from wealth and sent naked to gas chambers could be a recurring though vague nightmare almost as bad as a 90% tax rate that could restore the world environment, space exploration and buy new shoes for orphan Annie. Who can say the French Revolution couldn’t happen again with a mobile snappers hydraulic guillotine bringing supply-on-demand chop shops to lop off the heads of planetary misers? It’s not the sort of thing the happy poor think about generally. At least an Auschwitz isn’t going to happen since there are so few people with that big a pile of wealth on Earth- they could stay in a couple of Marriots and await ultra-fast snappers without spending much..

Since Tom Perkins brought the subject up though I make ask, what use are billionaires? Is the world better off without them?  Are they a net gyp? Do they contribute more to the world economy positively or are they really net repressors of competition through networking? Though there is a lot of good tech product that development could happen in an infinite number of alterative ways so different as to make it seem like a different world. Maybe one that is more fair, secure and meaningful to a majority instead of a minority .6% in a UHNW class. Maybe a poll could determine popular opinion on the question of should the rich should be relocated to a concentration camp like Davos with no exit (not the Sartre play)?

If billionaires control the world economy through networking corporate ownership then they comprise a discrete monopoly that has evolved its form over the monopolistic corporate world of the era of F.D.R. Instead of a corporation such as Microsoft being viewed as a monopoly now and then that dominates a business area, or as a state supported quasi-monopoly such as the big Wall Street Banks circa 2008-2009 the modern monopolists concentrate capital power owning everything as a class through networking, speed of light trading in dark pools and purchase of political influence and favorable legislation such as tax cuts to ‘stimulate’ there economy with a tingling running up their legs. A monopoly of the UHNW class stops competition like any monopoly does-if it threatens class economic power. That’s a bad prospect for the survival of human life on Earth that can use all the competition, inventiveness and innovation it can not to mention democracy, a more egalitarian distribution of income in the U.S.A., full employment, restoration of a healthy wild ecosphere and freedom of ubiquitous government and corporate network surveillance.

Actually though Americans seem rather doomed economically and politically speaking being too ignorant to know or care how things are developing or to fix it. In Greek city-states there were assemblies only citizens could attend. Those citizens took their democracy seriously and were vigilant against insidious oligarchy working sedulously to take over the state.

The least a U.S. Government could do to safeguard civil rights of free expression in the tech-control era of global communications would be to make broadcast wavelengths as non-exclusive as cell phone calls and to provide a terabyte of online cloud U.S. citizen text and video storage with personal choice of who can read the data. That would prevent the present insecurity of internet publishing where the rich can just buy up and silence or marginalize search engine listings and so forth for any web site not to mention N.S.A. treachery for partisan political purpose. Even NPR took down it’s free access ‘Talk of the Nation’ Your Turn discussions area a few years ago where anyone could post a comment on about anything. The trend is toward the rich and corrupt ruling the Internet. One may publish anything so long as it’s senseless sycophancy or short-lived.

Organizing the Decline of Democracy With Multi-Culturism

A democratic government exists to represent the proprietary interests of a majority-that is of a coherent culture with shared goals. Historically the Untied States benefited from the lack of vast social organizations and social hierarchies that brought Europe into countless wars and religious organizations to side with governments in sectarian conflict. The frontier that Frederick Jackson Turner wrote of as being formative of American democracy brought the benefit of preventing the formation of vast social organizations in the era before mass electronic communications. Time and technological development would end that era of course.

Large social organizations arise to repress individualism. In an age of multi-cultural social fracture with the concentrations of wealth through preferred network locations democracy is withering away replaced by the large social organization phenomena of prior centuries in new forms. A democracy made of individuals with enough similarities and with representatives from the people that accurately represent their shared class interests is no more. A multi-cultural globalism with religious and corporate hierarchies along with the royal trappings of international political organizations render a T.V. watching organization man, woman or person of transitioning gender more of a spectator of democracy, government, church and a tool of corporate business rather than a peer. The efforts of Congressman Ryan and Democrats of a radical globalist agenda to flood the United States with millions of illegal aliens after making the existing millions of illegal aliens in the U.S.A. legal may be the final nail in the battered body of democracy. The U.S.A. is developing a decoherent polity without the common interests required for a meaningful democratic environment. It isn’t remarkable that a dumbed down State Department consistently seeks to foist a utopian democracy upon nations abroad with radically polarized cultures no more capable of democracy than any nation where organizational splintering of a crazed degree prevails.

In human history the rise of large social organizations seems inevitable and it requires the grace of God to provide new lands without the repression of individuals by sundry organizations. Mankind s a social animal and forms collectives to rule or consume, worship a secular god or provide more bread. Allegiance to organizations brings strife and competition for dominance, wars and rumors of wars arise and individualism becomes an anachronism. Little provision is made to keep the U.S. Government from being led by flunkies that in decades couldn’t pay off a national debt, win a war decisively and at low cost, secure the Mexican border from illegal immigration or prevent the going away concentration of wealth that buys rule through proxies over the masses of proles.

Consistent Histories Issues With Anomalous Time Travel in a G.R. Universe Paradigm

In general relativity space-time is a necessary coefficient. To travel through space near light speed means to experience the passage of time slower than in non-accelerated space-time. That isn’t surprising; time is generally a change in the configuration of mass. With less mass such as has an elementary particle there is less to change. A photon is a photon, a neutrino just a neutrino with maybe a quark or two about it and not much else. Massless particles often travel at light speed, yet that’s just their own existential space and speed in relation to larger clumps of steady state mass.

So to convert mass into photons that are massless and accelerate them to the speed of light is a dream for physicists and erstwhile explorers of other star systems who could as photons travel at the speed of light over immense distances of space that would take a normal rocket ship thousands of years and planetfulls of fuel. It isn’t practical to accelerate mass to light speed because it would encounter the gravitational field super fast and develop counterproductive increase of mass requiring more fuel. Nearing light speed mass and fuel values would become infinite.

If gravity isn’t a field though could mass accelerated to light speed with a photon engine (science fiction) avoid gravity with gravity-Teflon spray? If it could maybe after spraying on gravity-deet what about the other fields that exist in mass such as the electro-weak or nuclear force between quarks? Would those fields be changed at all accelerating through the gravity field, the Higgs field or whatever uncertainty field exists out there and lose their relative condition of decoherence and consistent history locally that gives them a sense of who they are?

If there is only one space-time growing, expanding or whathaveyou as a field decohered from a coherent and uncertain uniform senselessness as a Higgs field and time is only a description of the entangled and decohered steady state of the evolving mass that it is, even if that mass is monistic viewed in the big picture then the past does not exist except perhaps as an image-for-other-viewers from afar traveling at the slowish speed of light. Time travel to the past isn’t possible though the entire Universe could be a recycling thought of God’s that may or may not be set into motion-as needed I would guess if that’s how it is).

Some believe though that if the entire Universe is something like a wave in a two-dimensional ocean juxtaposed with other flat-screen dimension membranes it might be possible to extract oneself from the present wave, relocate to another membrane Universe and reinsert oneself, or one’s mapped steady-state configuration back into the past making new waves in the process I would guess (again).

It seems sort of unreasonable to think that mapping one’s mass configuration and transferring it in some way outside the steady state mass entangled field to relocate in a hypothetical elsewhen would not add or subtract mass from the Universe- so such things might require careful balance and compensation or not as the case may be.

Well, the general relativity of the steady-state Universe that Einstein developed his theoretical parameters about are largely a way of measuring or regarding space-time changes and relationships within it. The field of space-time has local and non-local components and the relationships of mass with local and non-local fields of which it is formed might be malleable or subject to non-standard reformation with the power of intelligent thought that would allow light speed or faster-than-light-speed travel, if one should actually find it beneficial to do so.

Perhaps physicists down the road will discover new ways to quantify, shape, reshape, combine and/or relocate or reconstitute values of mass clumps along with attendant human mind within the Higgs field or whatever other meta-field of coherence and decoherence may exist. That seems like a challenging quantum mapping project especially since keeping consistent histories of a meta-field with exfiltrations of contingent field (post hoc) parts of it relocated elsewhere would probably affect the integrity of a meta-field.
