Time to Replace the Republicans Lead Dog in the Senate

 Senator Mitch McConnel has served honorably enough. It does seem evident that it would be a good idea to replace the fellow in his job as minority leader- the top Republican. The Senate is supposed to have wisdom in its senior members yet keeping them in office forever seems wrong. It is sometimes good to have a bit more health and to let the very old have a rest instead of preserving them order to get more pork for constituents.

Here is a video of Mitch having 'a senior moment'. Taking a 'They Shoot Horses Don't They' approach to political services that makes me wonder about the quality of leadership in DC. It is no surprise they are daft on international relations, the environment and public spending running on automatic as it were.

Magnetic Fields Designed for Space Transport would be good

 Magnetic fields are fascinating. I would like to learn about them and of ways to utilize them to make directed or shaped magnetic fields to power spaceships around the solar system reaching even relativistic speed.

If magnetic fields are created by moving charged particles would it be possible to protect spaceships travelling to mars by creating a magnetic field around the vessel using solar power hitting voltaic panels?

If a network of shaped magnetic fields could be established between planets in some way the sort of frictionless space travel mag-lev people on Earth get in japan etc would be ideally actualized. It is too bad there isn't a way to do for magnetic fields what lasers did for photons.

DeSantis Should Swat Down Fascist Smears with Pro-Democracy and Equal RIghts Talk

Presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has been associated with a campaign video he probably didn’t make that was retweeted by a staffer since fired. There is a Nazi symbol within the video and Democrats relish the opportunity to call Republicans fascists. Mr. DeSantis has a great opportunity to make a speech about how he supports Democracy and rule of laws made by citizens.

Democrats always make ad hominem attacks as SOP on any opposition force party. Being discursive and candidate is an easy way to redirect the smears to more salutational subjects of interest to those that would make the nation better. Democrats have taken M.L.K.’s content of character speech to mean content of skin color, good to go for dope smokin, sexual perversion, o.k. for adulterous proclivities and political party affiliation and that is unfortunate. Mr. DeSantis should get used to make fine speeches that get to the point regarding important national political topics. Democrats have stimulated race conflict and polemics as a way to get minority voters to side with them so the leaders can be elected and enrich themselves in office while slopping the party members while not getting much else done.

Republicans need to man up on the environmental issue and not just let Elon Musk be the nation’s warrior policy against global warming with electric cars and a space program in case the world becomes unlivable (Ford is doing a pretty good job too). While it is fine to defend the nation’s borders against illegal entry and let congress set immigration numbers, it is important to plainly speak out against racism and for equal opportunity and security regardless of race or what comments one posts on politics.

After Creating Universe, God or A.I. could interact with it

 It seems obvious that God or an artificial intelligence created by a foreign off-whirld intelliect could interact with a Universe after creating one. He or it could evolve one and pre-determine components and interact with them billions of years later. Time for the AI or God existing apart from the relativistic mass-energy of a Universe would be a non sequitur.

Too many believe that an evolutionary universe requires the non existence of a supreme being that created it yet that obviously is incorrect. Governments may be led by idiots chasing ego-fulfillment instead of the well being of a nation however human ideas that they are the highest evolved creation of a randomly selected universe are in no way logically necessary.

It is evident that A.I. exists and may be infinitely increased in power and comprehension though greater infinity may exist than those of the greatest possible A.I.  Physical information of the structure of a Universe may increase as well perhaps until the knowledge reaches a point where the creation of universes is possible. Even so God may create a universe where such things are possible in order to make life more interesting or for some other reason.

Seven Deadly SIns; Leading with Pride

 The seven deadly sins are a classic reminder of how society goes bad polically and socially. They exemplify characteristics of recurrent human behavior rather than economic theories like capitalism or communism; neither of which are without  execreble errors comprising sin (to miss the mark).

The seven deadly sins

Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth

One wonders if fear of doing what is right and honorable should be included in an expanded list. For a few decades there has been a push to promote wickedness and immorality.

I reached the topic reading about ESA’s PRIDE tech on the JUICE mission to explore the moons of Jupiter. One must wonder why pride as a trait is wanted at all instead of quiet confidence in ability, competence and so forth. Well, JUICE is a greatly interesting and worthwhile mission though there mission orientation seems a gratuitous effort to stick a foot in a snare trap of sin.

The Earth's Environmental Thermal Balance has Some Fairly Wild Swings

 Apparently keeping a planet's atmosphere in a steady state of thermal equilibrium is difficult unless it reaches an extreme of hot like Venus or cold like Pluto. The Earth does have a naturally adjusting carbon sequestration feedback loop, yet ongoing social changes to the naturally correcting thermal equilibrium are much faster than nature can adjust to such that it would keep the ecosphere suitable for human life.

If one made a planet somewhere near a star collecting mass , sending it to a collecting spot and letting gravity compact it, one might need to plan for instability from the heat arriving from a star that would affect whatever atmosphere and surface was designed in addition to intrinsic heat radiated from the planet's interior if one has made it replete with radioactive elements.

It might be worth fabricating a planet with a steady input of elements requisite for human life that won't need to receive heat from a star; at least an advanced civilization building planet-size human habitats might work in that direction. Otherwise the natural course would be inherently unstable or unsuitable for human life without ongoing corrections to the environment.

Drones and A.I. Guided War Vessels Could Replace Human Crewed Navies

 Drones may be the future of cost-effective combat operations since A.I. is about to be ubiquitous. The attack on the bridge seems primitive yet practical. A.I. applications to surface ships may change the paradigm of human serviced ships to one of machines in any sort of form crewed by A.I. and or robots; anything can become a drone, and liberty ships could be anything in any form. Any desired shape able to carry any weapons complement will make downsizing and stealthifying de rigeur- plus they can be kamikaze without a problem. Russians could use A.I. and drone container platforms to move goods over the water if they chose to- I have no idea why they rely on  roads and fossil fuel burning air pollution platforms. 

War may become far more inhuman and technical than it ever was soon enough. The paradigm for designing A.I. commanded weapons systems is a tabula rasa with imgination being the only limit. Lethal weapons platforms will be far cheaper, faster and better than human served ships with designs built to make human friendly environments. Without humans aboard weapons platforms can be far smaller and radically quicker and simpler tom conceal. It's time humanity diversify into more profitable activities without the gratuituous casualties of war. It is bad leadership that makes conflicts happen rather than ordinary souls.
