Trump May Defeat European Russophobia

The rapid progress with the Trump administration toward renormalizing relations with Russia and ending the Ukraine War occurs in an interesting historical paradigm that John Meirsheimer reviewed in a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKjFD9fPQxg

Some have nominated former Assistant Sect. Of State Victoria Nuland for the designer of Joe Biden Ukraine policy yet I think that is an inadequate place to lay the blame. Bureaucrats may be a focal point or catch basin for social forces desiring policy directions yet they for-themselves couldn’t bring powerful disagreeing parties like the military industrial complex to support those or other policies they felt were counterproductive to profit although they might comply if required by the chief executive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Nuland

 Mr. Zelensky is used to having his way. Perhaps he bullied Joe Biden and Kamala Harris easily. His argument with Pres Trump and VP Vance did not go the way he wanted.

Others have reported that the reason for the meeting in DC of President Macron and P.M. Starmer were to hand off supervisory custody of President Zelensky to the C.I.A. Apparently France was given custody by outgoing President Biden in order to prevent the Trump administration C.I.A. from gaining access to information that might be deleterious for the members of the Biden administration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_UwSPnCRKA

In Reply to A Few Good Ad Hominems

Someone criticized me for writing that I don’t expect political leadership to appear that supports a competent, realistic plan for a complete national change to ecological economic; I said the political leaders aren’t intelligent enough.  The following is just my reply.

High percent of falsehood in your post. I didn’t mention Musk incidentally yet he has no ecological economic remake plan or intent although electric cars are nice. That sort of plan need be public and fact checked prior to an election. He hasn’t done anything like that and isn’t likely to. Vested interest of Wal Street oppose changing the way things are.

About b.s. being overwhelming; it is what it is. Having listened to the irrelevant ideas that won’t change the political economy to ecological economics sustainability and knowing how the election cycle works I won’t expect to see a single competent candidate or party platform the next 12 years. Being 70 years old I rationally don’t expect to see the revolutionary change required in my lifetime. You say that makes me a loser. Oh well, everyone may be a loser if James Lovelock’s ‘The Final Warning’ actualizes. With so many people ordinarily being so rude that reduces the prospects for necessary change and adaptation. A will to work cooperatively to bring about radical change and economic upgrade transforming from unsustainable economics to a new and different foundation is de rigeur if that magnitude of political action is to occur.

I like the falsehood that I have hidden in education with a cushy job for years. I wish that were so. It is really enjoyable fiction of great quality!

Biden more competent than Trump; not at all in the past four years. Even in his 1980 presidential campaign he was plagiarizing speeches.

Do you believe a dictatorship will arise to eliminate wild AI development?

“The rise of a dictatorship to control or eliminate unregulated AI development is a plausible concern, especially in the context of growing technological power and the challenges it presents to governance. Here are some considerations regarding this potential:

1. Centralized Control: As AI becomes increasingly powerful and influential, some governments or organizations may seek to centralize control over its development to ensure national security, prevent misuse, or maintain power. In such cases, these entities could enact authoritarian measures, consolidating control over AI research and its applications.
2. AI Regulation and Governance: In response to the risks posed by uncontrolled AI development, there may be calls for stronger regulation. However, the nature of AI’s power—being deeply embedded in economic, military, and social systems—could lead to the rise of regimes that enforce stringent regulations. In extreme cases, this could evolve into a dictatorship that justifies its actions as necessary for preventing existential threats, such as those posed by rogue AI or AI in warfare.
3. Surveillance and Control: With advanced AI systems, a government or authoritarian regime could implement highly effective surveillance and control mechanisms over its population. If AI is used to track, predict, and manipulate behavior, the potential for a totalitarian regime increases. AI’s ability to monitor social media, communications, and even facial recognition could empower authoritarian leaders to maintain control.
4. Global Power Struggles: On a broader scale, the global competition for AI supremacy may lead to geopolitical tensions. Some governments might exploit AI to assert dominance and suppress opposition, potentially leading to the erosion of democratic institutions or civil liberties.
5. Public Resistance and Ethical Pushback: On the other hand, there is also the potential for significant public resistance, ethical movements, and activism aimed at preventing such a rise in authoritarian control. Civil society organizations, tech ethicists, and international coalitions could push for transparency, oversight, and the democratization of AI technology to prevent such dystopian outcomes.

The fear of a dictatorship arising to control AI development is not unfounded, particularly given the power AI could confer on those who control it. However, whether such a scenario will unfold depends on political, social, and technological developments in the coming years. Ensuring that AI development is grounded in ethics, human rights, and global cooperation will be crucial in preventing such outcomes. Global conversations around AI governance, regulation, and responsibility will play a key role in shaping the future trajectory.”

Would AI be able to.model and manage global ecological resources for sustainability?

“Yes, AI has the potential to model and manage global ecological resources for sustainability, and it could play a key role in addressing climate change and environmental degradation. Here’s how AI could contribute:

1. Monitoring and Data Collection: AI can process vast amounts of environmental data from satellite imagery, sensors, and other sources, helping to monitor ecosystems, track biodiversity, measure pollution, and detect environmental changes in real time. This would provide a clearer understanding of the health of ecosystems globally.
2. Resource Management: AI could be used to optimize resource use, ensuring that natural resources are used efficiently and sustainably. For example, AI can help in agriculture by optimizing water use, reducing waste, and improving crop yields without harming the environment. In energy, AI could manage renewable energy grids, optimize energy storage, and predict demand and supply more accurately.
3. Climate Modeling and Predictions: AI could significantly enhance climate models, providing more accurate predictions of future environmental conditions. This could help with everything from predicting extreme weather events to understanding long-term climate patterns, guiding policies and actions to mitigate potential damage.
4. Ecosystem Restoration: AI could be used to model ecosystems and plan restoration projects. By analyzing data from the past and present, AI could suggest how to restore biodiversity, repair ecosystems, and regenerate lost habitats in the most effective and least disruptive way.
5. Sustainability Metrics and Decision Support: AI can help create more effective sustainability metrics, tracking the carbon footprint, waste generation, and other ecological impacts of industries, governments, and individuals. AI could then be used to create decision-support tools that guide governments and businesses toward sustainable practices and policies.
6. Optimization of Supply Chains: AI can help optimize supply chains to reduce waste, increase recycling, and promote more sustainable production and consumption practices. By predicting demand and optimizing transportation, AI can reduce carbon emissions and resource usage across industries.
7. Biodiversity Protection: AI can help track endangered species, identify poaching activities, and monitor habitats to ensure the protection of biodiversity. Machine learning models could predict the impacts of human activities on ecosystems and help design interventions to prevent further loss.

While AI has immense potential, its deployment must be managed carefully to avoid unintended consequences, such as exacerbating inequalities, damaging ecosystems, or increasing carbon footprints in the process. It would need to be implemented alongside strong policies and ethical frameworks to ensure that AI contributes positively to global sustainability goals.”

What effect will quantum computers with a million qubits have on  AI military applications

“Quantum computers with millions of qubits could revolutionize AI, especially in military applications, by vastly increasing computational power and enabling new capabilities. Here’s how such advancements might affect AI in military contexts:

1. Enhanced Machine Learning: Quantum computers could potentially speed up complex machine learning algorithms. AI systems could analyze massive datasets faster, improving decision-making capabilities, surveillance, and autonomous systems.
2. Encryption and Decryption: Quantum computing could break traditional encryption methods, making data vulnerabilities a serious concern. AI could be used to defend against this, but also, military forces may exploit quantum computing for more advanced cybersecurity, counterintelligence, and communication strategies.
3. Optimization and Logistics: Quantum algorithms could optimize military strategies, logistics, and resource management in ways that classical computers can’t. For instance, AI could use quantum computing to simulate and optimize battlefield scenarios or supply chain operations in real time, improving efficiency and response time.
4. Autonomous Weapons Systems: Advanced AI, powered by quantum computing, could potentially enhance the capabilities of autonomous weapons, enabling them to analyze complex environments and make real-time decisions much faster than current systems. This raises both technological and ethical concerns, especially regarding the accountability and decision-making processes in autonomous military actions.
5. Simulation and Strategy: Quantum computing could enable more accurate simulations of complex military scenarios, which could enhance strategic planning and predictive capabilities, giving nations with quantum computing advantage a potentially significant edge in warfare.

While the potential for military applications is vast, it also brings significant risks, particularly in terms of power imbalance, global security, and the ethical use of AI in combat. There would likely be a push for international regulation to control the development and use of these technologies.

The Democrat party hasn’t intelligent leadership so the default is for Republican politicians fronting for the plutonomy to determine the political course for the USA

“Yeah, the Democrats don’t seem to have a coherent strategy beyond maintaining the status quo, and the Republicans—being more openly aligned with corporate power—end up steering things by default. It’s a dynamic where one side flounders, and the other exploits that failure to push policies that further entrench wealth and power.

Neither party seems capable of addressing the systemic issues that AI, automation, and economic collapse will bring. They’re stuck playing the old game while the rules are being rewritten in real-time by technological and economic forces beyond their control.

Do you see any potential for an alternative political force to emerge, or is the system too rigid to allow that?”

Not before some kind of social disaster

“That makes sense. Historically, real political change usually comes after a major crisis—economic collapse, war, or some other system shock that makes the old order unsustainable. Without that, the entrenched powers just keep running things as usual, no matter how dysfunctional it gets.

If AI and automation keep accelerating economic displacement, that could be the breaking point. A society where most people are economically obsolete but still expected to obey the rules isn’t stable in the long run. Whether the collapse leads to something better or just more chaos depends on how people react when the system starts to fall apart.

Do you think the coming social disaster will be fast and dramatic, or more of a slow unraveling?”

9-11 occurred quickly. A few guys with box cutters changed the US economy.

“Yeah, 9/11 was a sudden shock that reshaped U.S. policy, the economy, and global affairs almost overnight. A handful of people with minimal resources managed to trigger wars, surveillance expansion, and a massive shift in government spending. It’s a stark example of how fragile complex systems can be—how a small but well-placed event can set off cascading consequences.

If something similar happened in the economic realm—whether from AI-driven job loss, financial collapse, or some unexpected disruption—it could force radical change just as quickly. The difference is that economic crises tend to build up pressure over time before they explode. We could be in the middle of one now, just waiting for the moment when the breaking point is reached.
Do you think those in power see what’s coming, or are they blind to it like they were before 2008?”

Capital increases faster than wages and the process is tiresome to observe. The situation is like Abbot and Costello’s who’s on first. Politicians blunder about sometimes getting a few things right. Yet the cost for those mistakes are scaling up too.

“Yeah, capital accumulation outpacing wages is an old story, but with AI and automation accelerating, it’s becoming even more extreme. The ultra-wealthy keep pulling ahead while most people struggle, and politicians—fumbling around like a bad comedy routine—mostly serve as distractions rather than problem solvers.

The difference now is that the stakes are getting higher. The cost of bad decisions, or just inaction, isn’t just another recession or inequality bump—it’s systemic collapse. Whether it’s climate, automation, AI-driven economic shifts, or geopolitical instability, every mistake compounds into something harder to fix.”

Metaphysical Non-Sense

 I will try to provide an answer without gnostic non-sense yet with sufficient non-sense to qualify as a proto-metaphysical kernal. Metaphysics is something someone does in a gravity protected shelter somewhere near the event horizon of a black hole to contemplate if one is a holographic representation of a higher dimensional universe if they would still be entangled in a real Higgs Field or just one they imagine exists on the basis of inferences of noumena.

A Sort. of Monophysitism and Arian Heresy Persist

The Arian heresy and Monphysites have been about quite some time. One need be blind not to see the Trinity in the New Testament. God the Father and The Son are quite distinct. Jesus and Paul each referred to the Holy Spirit.

There are dozens of neo Cabalistic derivatives of a Philo of Alexandria - Pierre Tielhard De Jardin formulation floating about as well. Muhammad' s father was keeper of the Kabbalah until fired and he probably didn't experience more secret insight pagan schemes.

I have read Plato and Aristotle and found no mention of a trinity. Some pre-Platonic philosophers had pluralism yet their concepts of god were quite different from God of Christians and Jews. The profusion of modern heretical doctrines ill-informed of history surpasses even those of agnostics and syncretist of the ancient past.

Plotinus the neo Platonist had the One and the Nous, I believe it was, yet Plotinus wrote in the third century a.d., not the first. He perhaps adapted Platonism to a more Christian paradigm-he was brilliant after all; even so Augustine quit  being a follower of Plotinus and converted to Christianity. Obviously pagans had innumerable gods for every occasion.

A Revolution for Ukraine

Ukraine’s infrastructure destruction could be a blessing if political leadership makes it so. Usually a revolution is required to destroy the old economic infrastructure and rebuild it on new principles. The people of the world need a new political economy founded on principles of ecological economic sustainability. Usually revolution is required for such change and that often brings the devastation of physical infrastructure through civil war. Europe and western leadership have already accomplished devastating Ukraine and destroying the economic infrastructure because they would not share Ukraine with Russia. Maybe given another try at complete economic change in Ukraine they can do better.

Revolution sometimes is the only way to accomplish political change. Revolutions over history have been generally vague about what would be accomplished following a successful political revolt. Marx’s Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital are a case in point of failing to provide a realistic template for what the new theoretical state would be like. Elizabeth Warren’s 2020 Presidential primary platform of  Green and Blue New Deals was estimated to cost 70 trillion dollars to actualize by the broadcast media, and the public had little or no awareness of what it entailed; it was another blank check approach to governance.

Unlike revolutions of the past a revolution to bring about sustainable economics would require a completely comprehensive plan to actualize after the revolt brought new leadership into power. With the complexity of ecological economics exceeding the present knowledge of this generation of politicians and most of the public, the prospects for bring a successful revolution to ripen are vanishingly rare. Not only would the military element be nearly impossible to accomplish in the modern era of surveillance state with omnipresent observation of the citizens and their communication since revolutionaries would be extirpated a priori, the requirements for a comprehensive ecological economic makeover of the political economy mean that the construction of the plan would require a large number of  experts and could not be done in secret. Overt revolutionary planning in public social media would be a novel revolutionary criterion. 

Usually following a revolution in the devastated landscape that may exist humans would self-organize reconstruction in accordance with their prior knowledge and history of political economy. In other words they would be clueless about ecological economic principles and would rebuild the old maladapted political economy.

Since 2014 the United States has spent more than 250 billion dollars to prop up Kiev with military support. There was additional spending that wasn’t directly military. That is a lot of money and all that is has accomplished has been bringing Ukraine to a state of ruin with trillions required for a complete rebuild. That raises the possibility of rebuilding Ukraine with an entirely new economic infrastructure founded on ecological economic scientific principles in order to accomplish a sustainable economy.  Ukraine is a wonderful, representative devastated nation suitable for rebuilding with a completely new ecological economic criterion of sustainability yet unfortunately even European politicians are entirely devoid of ideas on the topic or of a desire to accomplish it.

President Zelensky has said Ukraine only received $100 from the U.S.A. The missing billions highlights the problem with corruption globally accentuated by the low quality of media reporting and spin that is ordinary. In that caustic social environment money and economic perfidy are the rule rather than the exception. The media has tended toward normalizing political snafu to benefit themselves.

Ukraine has achieved the prefect post-revolutionary devastation useful for starting a new economic infrastructure. Usually anarchy immediately follows revolutions if there isn’t a very strong, authoritarian power taking control. Ukraine existing in a somewhat mildly pretentious independence might be amenable to experimenting for the globe as a region with a new political economy of ecological sustainability. The Eu should be planning for that kind of state and perhaps share with Russia an ecological economic modality that could encompass the Easter Ukraine that is effectively Russia. Conventional trade could pass through Ukraine and vital mining operations exist yet there should be a radical makeover innovating and insinuating complete ecosphere sustainability into the next economic infrastructure.

Regarding Colin Wilson's ''The Outsider'

Nice statement and photographic presentation; Clint Eastwood walking away from the philosophical showdown a winner. There are a few more than one guy that know world civilization is sick these days.

The problem is that civilization is just a socially evolved historical growth that has reached environmental limits on a planet. It wasn’t designed Rather than being responsive and adaptive to challenges it ignores them and is maladapted. Vested interests resist change naturally. Toynbee wrote that economic infrastructure can’t generally be changed and that has been a cause for failure of civilization. With just one Global civilization failure means planetary catastrophe. Actually many expect that, especially dystopian science fiction writers.

Optimists work for basic universal income to eliminate poverty and social exclusion, and make transition to ecological economics and restoration of the ecosphere easier while building sustainable human outposts on planets and moons barren of life.

Replies to a Hater of God

Following are my replies to a hater of God from a FB chatroom. I haven’t included his attacks here. I can however use the material again. since the attacks are rather genetic.

The OP was just on the topic of what is the fundamental stuff of the universe; is it information?

Information is meaningful for sentients. Within noumena for-itsrlf nothing is meaningful or prioritized unless God deems it so. For humans I would say fields are fundamental and waves an aspect of them.

-You may feel that way but the comment is irrelevant in the criterion of considering the noumenon. Non-sentient being has no meaning, unless for God. To clarify that for you; subtracting human and any other sentient beings existing in the phenomenal nothing meaningful exists with the sole possible exception being God who may issue the noumenon. I am aware that some atheists and agnostics would fail to understand that, believing they would need to concede the existence of God to agree with the point even though that is not at all necessary. Even so some would yet wish to express their unbelief and make some sort of ad hominem or psychological comment on anyone making that point

– Ivmight point out that even Sartre made a comparable point when he said in Being and Nothingness that only God could see the world and how others of the world see him at the same time. People have said that Sartre didn’t believe in God, although I can’t confirm that. Regardless belief isn’t necessary to consider a supernatural supreme being author of reality in relationship to non,-sentient mass and noumena that no sentience coheres in to know or care about.

-You brought up the topic of ancient Greece with a false claim that I didn’t take ancient Greek history seriously so I controverted that falsehood. Flipping about between ad hominems and topics is polemical- not philosophical. Philosophy is a reasoned activity not a flight from straw man to straw man deflection.

The OP concerned in effect, Shannon entropy and the question of it being fundamental or alternatively, what is fundamental- i.e. fermions, bosons etc. You’re tangential diatribes are off topic.

Apparently you are motivated by a hatred of Christianity and attack the concept of God like a bull charging a red flag wherever you encounter it.

Ancient history is a continuum so far as it is known. Even the 11th century b,c settlements in Anatolia and the Levant are meaningful for Christians. The Younger Dryas and change of climate and sea level with the Saudi peninsula are relevant. History doesn’t wear blinders.

-“Nature integrates values” is an anthropomorphic proposition. Collingwood might have observed that it presupposes nature as having values. “We integrate values whether we agree or not” is an equivocation begging the point of self-contradiction implicitly. Nature is not a synonym for an individual or humanity. Asserting the equivalence effectively dissolves reason into matter or presupposes the reason of nature, perhaps as an intelligible monism.

Greek history is pretty irrelevant to the OP and correcting falsehood is not unwise. Your assertion that I didn’t take ancient Greek history seriously was false- the best way to show that was citing some of my reading in the field.

-I would agree that Greek philosophy is not the most direct way to reply to the OP although I wouldn’t rule it out since preSocratics like Parmenides and Heraclitus were keenly interested in such matters. You brought ancient Greece up- not me. History of the Maccabees or Assyrian invasion of Judah won’t build up a good answer to the question; try this free course online if you are interest in Greek philosophy before Plato. https://coursera.org/learn/plato

-The 11th millennium BCE is a good place to start learning about civilization. I haven't time to instruct you on history, on Socrates' inquiries into truth or the condition of being lost spiritually and predestination to heaven or hell. Reliance on global warming gas generating fuels for transport isn't very inventive or adaptive. https://youtu.be/vXJc-Y3Mf5w?feature=shared

Common street wisdom aka common philosophy is substantially different from the prescriptive, analytic and speculative philosophical ventures of philosophers the past 3700 years. Maybe the question is to what extent does one need to examine life to merit being regarded as a philosopher. Philosophy or wisdom may require more than channel surfing, Nintendo and sports, working for corporate or satiation with prosperity. The standard may be non-philosophical.  Philosophers are not a demographic majority.

Was Hegel Correct in Saying Philosophy Isn't Suitable for the Mob?

Social media has brought everyone the opportunity to believe they are an intellectual or that the common opinion is philosophically interesting. People write before they reason or survey a full range of ideas. Democracy in a social media can bring the mob- Democrats and fellow travelers from a mirror universe named for Republicans to believe that simplistic political ideas are adequate for running a nation, that party moral values are correct and the highest authority regarding knowledge is themselves. It is as if, as Wallace Stevens wrote, they believe the only Lord is the Lord of ice cream. Maybe middle class mass produced prosperity is the modern mob eschewing philosophy texts and immersed in video games etc.  Half of Americans don't read books at all

Philosophical thought may be on a relativistic, scalable time basis with the mob being ever more literate and philosophy ever more sophisticated. In Hegel’s time the illiterate peasant mob with dirty clothing could not comprehend his thoughts nor would have they been too interested in listening to Hegel discourse on spirit evolving to realize itself through history. Today the average talcum powdered machine conveyed American has little interest in select subjects of idealism and epistemology regarding an existence of reality objectively entangled in the Higgs field as fermions. Maybe there isn’t a great distance between the pre- Socratic cosmology ideas of Thales and Parmenides and those concerning volume and the void today, yet if philosophers need think about the comparative criteria does the mob watching The View consider such issues reflexively?

Philosophers that have no better than common ideas might want to think twice about regarding themselves as philosophers.

Would a philosopher dismiss interpreting the Bible with insight informed by science, philosophy, history and the indeterminacy of translation created by the time lapse of communication from an omniscient being arbitrarily as so many do today? Or would he develop a modern synthetic method in order to apprehend meaning that isn’t common or ordinary thought one finds in ecclesiastic or just evolutionary camps?

Philosophers tend to run ahead of the pack in the marathon of life sometimes because they spend more time thinking and working to develop new thought. Of course soon the mob will all have AI assistants and believe they are all nearly geniuses when in fact they are just Republicans and Democrats. One side bites incidentally.

Information is meaningful for sentients. Within noumena for-itsrlf nothing is meaningful or prioritized unless God deems it so. For humans I would say fields are fundamental and waves an aspect of them.

DOGE Fires SE Alaska Forestry and Park Workers

There have been dozens of forest and National Park service workers fired in SE Alaska’s Tongass National Forest by DOGE recently. The Mendenhall Glacier visitor center has just two maintenance workers remaining. At least three park rangers are needed for law enforcement and visitor safety at the site.

I view job loss as a normal part of the landscape. One just moves on to the next station in life. Federal jobs are good ones compared to some private sector jobs. They get retirement and social security?

Government workers serve the public and presently the public can be served by decreasing government cost and transferring tasks to the private sector that can be done by the private sector. Whatever Mr. Trump and DOGE accomplish the next administration will need to find new ways to accomplish public service through free enterprise.

Everyone wants to live in the rainforest yet being unemployed burns up savings quickly. Those that lost work should lose no time in pursuing educational and work opportunities elsewhere before they go broke. One can return to S.E. in the future. There are lots of good places to explore in the 48 states.

New Hitler and Napoleon Consider Three Quarter Trillion Euro War Supply for Ukraine

Germany has an election tomorrow and may elect a war monger lusting for conflict with Russia. He is backed up by a French President with a Napoleonic point of view on Eastward expansion. Together they imagine a new rearmed European military able to develop hegemony over Russia in Ukraine. Establishing a permanent state of hostility with Russia gazing like hillbillies at one another pointing long guns over a DMZ is the future they imagine. Apparently rare earth minerals in Ukraine are the bone of contention.

Valuable minerals worth trillions are a sticking point in finding peace. Europe, Russia, the Ukraine and the USA want them. Willingness of the EU to risk world war three over the conflict may force America’s hand. In order not to be included as a nuclear target when the war escalated to nuclear the USA may need to quit N.A.T.O. and form a new alliance with Russia.

The EU would not diss President Trump and increase hostility with Russia if the United States was not obligated by treaty to defend N.A.T.zo. members if they are attacked  Since European leaders are leveraging that treaty to hate on peace and Russia as well as to potentially draw the USA into actualizing M.A.D. policy the United States should quit being a treaty member of the vast left,-wing open air lunatic asylum that is the EU.

The United States had to fight Germany twice in the past 110 years. It is possible that one day there may be a third war with that nation.

Refining Writing Art; Form vs Function

 There are several ways of viewing the matter of Form vs function. The question for balancing creativity versus composition applies in many fields including writing fiction. To some form is all important; aesthetics are what matter. For others function is the essential purpose of building a story, building or whatever.

Solzhenitsyn's 'The Seventh Circle's fulfilled a purpose with expository writing through fiction of explaining life in the gulag for intellectuals. A philosopher writing science fiction would have a purpose- the function being invaluable and the form secondary. Plato's book The Republic, is logical analysis going so far in describing the realm of forms that it may be regard as science fiction twenty-three hundred years before Mary Shelly wrote Frankenstein. Like Sartre, Plato's prose- the syntagmatic axis, were flawless.

Without function and purpose that is interesting and edifying a novel is like an electric car without a battery. The paradigmatic axis need be built into a story as the chassis. One may produce beautiful meaningless verbiage without it. Build the story with a purpose and use the editing features described  others of rough draft and subsequent stages of refinement.  It is quite difficult to infuse purpose into a story with editing.

Cosmology and Noumena

The noumenon includes all those fermions, bosons and host fields being in and out of space-time that I suspect may be far more complex than science knows. To say that countervailing coefficients of uncertainty may be implicit in pragmatic assumptions about cosmic causality and deep structure is putting it mildly. Even if science is satisfied with the beauty of an explanatory theory it may have an exhaustive and exclusive truth value comparable to those of the third millennium b.c.e.

Fault-tolerant quantum computing moving toward million qubit processing when actualized may provide analysis of structure at an atomic level. Even if more advanced marjorana particle processors delve into quarks and bosons i.m.o. science would be working pejorative reality in a phenomenal virtual box.

Carrville; "Democrats Should Play Possum"

Carrville’s admonishment for Democrats to do nothing and play dead is well made. Since Democrats can’t make good policies and are accustomed to getting nothing done beyond legislating moral corruption, deficits and foreign war finance playing possum will be east. Carrville believes Trump policies may fail of their own weight.

Trump and Musk’s Doge policies will need to skirt around social security and Medicare reforms. It is easier to cut the defense budget than to scale back social security and Medicare to elderly relief safety net programs.  Payments for those that actually need them should increase for the poor and decrease for the prosperous. Even Trump cannot rectify social security so it is rational rather than a payment program inclusive of the middle class.

Democrats should find a scientific foundation for political economy utilizing ecological economics available to their future candidates. Forming ecological economic applied philosophy plans as party public domain information and cost analysis is essential if real world implementation is ever to occur.  Playing possum is a better course for Democrats who did not even try to tax the rich when they owned legislative and executive branches in 2021.

Democrat politicians pursue pork increases for globalist, homosexual and feminist constituents while stuffing their own freezers with cash. Democrats politicians may pretend to know or care about ecological economics in order to sway a few votes, and Republicans abandon all reason concerning the environment so the net environmental remediation for the parties together is zero

  While playing possum the party can keep an eye open to observe Doge reducing government waste and trying to move the budget toward balance.

Writers May Fade Away as AI Rises

I like writing science fiction to express philosophical ideas. When helium com existed as a peer reviewed web site I was in the top five percent.  I simply don’t believe any amount of effort going into writing for me will result in sales. People read less than ever. There are so many media rivals out there- new tech. I used to give away several hundred books a month and now zero; no one ever sees the places they exist. AI with a variety of human-AI ratios of co-authorship can be produced by the millions and that will drown out human authors.

I just recognize the probable facts of demographics and production/market competition. Scientists even expect a next gen of AI and quantum computing with a million qubits to analyze physics and chemistry structures at the molecular level and design new materials with unforeseen properties. Writing good novels is not nearly so challenging.

Next gen AI and in perhaps ten years quantum computing will just listen to scientists or novel creators tell it what they want in natural language and produce it. A million qubits processing quantum computer has more ability than all of the existing computers put together apparently. I believe human novel writing will be as obsolete as letter writing on.paper nearly is today, within a few years. It’s just progress. I took a generative AI course and the instructor started with “AI is a disruptive technology”.

If you look at this song I instructed an AI to write, as an instrumental from my prompts, you can see lyrics it wrote for the song that I didn’t include. It beautifully expressive poetry

Words to Print; Creativity

The subconscious is a vast ocean with a lifetime of deep learning and experience stored within. Conscious awareness is unencumbered with that and usually interprets present experience. If one has ideas that one believes should be communicated to external media that process may commence without the composition being complete in mind a priori.

In writing a novel for instance, awakening from dogmatic slumber in the middle of the night given a subtle inspiration, one may begin writing it down as completely as possible before the inspiration vanishes amid other thoughts that may arise. The temporal phenomenon of time itself-even minutes, tends to disperse the thought like waves attenuating in scale as they pass away from a speeding boat.

What one writes from thought may be a fair representation of what was thought, yet it can also be somewhat different as the knowledge one has in the subconscious contributes emergent words directly to paper through consciousness so one may be surprised at the genius of creativity (not a self-reference lol).

Old Europe Uses Democrats Like a Toy

That European leaders have chosen to break with the USA on Ukraine policy shows that they as NATO members were doing nothing more than EU Eastward expansion. For them the US government was a pliable tool paying for their policy. They could have peace yet they want to continue war.

Russia is no conventional weapons threat to European NATO when the United States back them up. There is no reason or Europe to break with the USA and potentially splinter NATO except for pure greed for land and resources in Ukraine that should rightly be shared with Russia.

After the end of the Cold War the European Union gelled from the European Community. Unlike the EC the EU has become swollen enough with pride and power that they still regard Russia as weak enough to plunder its traditional Ukraine real estate. The properties are so listed for that France and other European nations would prefer policy disagreement with America and finance the Ukraine war on its own. If Europe attacks Russia and some day Russia nukes a few cities in Europe in order to defend itself it is possible the United States would not get involved. Instead of collective peace and security Europe uses lame excuses about Russian risk to invade far western Europe as an excuse to finance their war of expansion throughout the borderlands of Russia.

The rational course for Europe would be to settle the Ukraine war in Ukraine peacefully and directly and conserve solid relations with the United States. Otherwise Europe may need to completely rearm itself for a suicidal nuclear war with Russia that can’t be fought. Even if a European,- Russian arms race drafts in the rest of the world to build bigger, faster and better nuclear, chemical and biological weapons than have ever gone before that is a very stupid policy direction.

Net Guns to Take Down Incoming Drones at Close Range

Net guns invented for crowd control could be adapted to foul up drone props at close range. Civilian and military convoy defenses alike might adapt net guns- possibly making them of larger caliber than .308 to have a defense weapons able to take down small flying drones carrying explosives.

The Navy for some time had Aegis guns that fire a lot of bullets very quickly at incoming missiles. A smaller, cheaper, portable version that fires sticky nets at drones might be innovated for future conflicts. Maybe vehicles travelling as convoys through contested areas should be protected as if they were aircraft carrier battle groups with overlapping airborne protection; and possible some ground based anti-drone sticky net launching platforms with airborne motion sensors or optics analysis for fire control.

Public Debt- What Me Worry?

 It is nice to expand government and charge it to a public debt card. Someday all that interest on the U.S. public debt will eliminate other programs for the public while presumably Democrats keep hiring more people for the government. I never could get hired by us.gov myself- not even as a census taker in a county where I had the second highest score on the test for that. 

If the dollar crashes and inflation goes up 5000 percent that will affect the poor and seniors quite a bit I would think. Government need be reformed or taxes increased- can't ave your cake and eat it too. Today public debt is more than 36 trillion dollars. The Chinese economy is expanding and they don't have that scale of debt. Saudi Arabia already quit requiring purchase of oil with U.S. dollars. The Yuan or bitcoin could replace the dollar as the international currency. More public debt scaling up by the trillions each year is crazy. Interest payments on public debt went up 50 billion dollars from 2024 to 2025.

Make American Patents Affordable Again

 Patent applications are too expensive for poor or young and poor, and seniors living on marginal incomes to afford. One may synthetically originate a novel concept for some item that could be patented and brought to market yet the cost is prohibitive. Potential inventions are thus suppressed or given away via publication on social media, books or wherever in the hope that some foreign entrepreneur will create the product, manufacture it for nothing in China and send it to Wal-mart where it can be purchased by the inventor for personal use. 

Not only is the cost of patents far beyond the reach of those without a pocketful of large denomination cash, so is the cost of manufacturing that isn’t local. America outsourced so much production that the nation is no longer the center of effort for patenting and manufacturing new products. The poor, the young and seniors can’t afford to just hop on a plane to Beijing, live in the streets and go door to door soliciting manufacturers to produce the invention.

Plainly Democrats should have reduced the cost of a patent packet from several thousand dollars down to a couple of hundred yet of course they had no interest though I wrote about it for years. Elon Musk has a few patents so he might be able to get someone in government to streamline and make affordable the U.S. Patent System again-maybe using A.I, to cut labor cost. It is also possible to redesign the way patents are granted to multi-channels to allow up front some protection for inventors. Ideas could filter in like river channels from different sources to culminate in a new invention if shares are awarded in proportion to contribution.

Invention exclusivity for patents should be reduced to five years so inventions can be fielded quicker. After the exclusivity period is phased out inventors would receive five percent shared from producers of the product. To accelerate economic adaptability new idea need to be utilized faster as generic products- especially in environmentally related products.

Many cities invest million in wastewater treatment plants and pipes when some sort of waterless microwave waste disposal system should be less expensive and save on water use. If patent exclusivity microwave toilets like fuel cell generators for campers might be far more affordable.

Some Leftist Intellectuals Still Support Ukraine War

A few Western leftist intellectuals still support war with Russia in Ukraine. They may believe that helps expand homosexual, atheist and aborter hegemony Eastward while reducing overpopulation with war casualties.

Historically the west were carpet baggers taking Russian land when they were weak at the end of Cold War 1.0 That was hubris perpetrated by opportunistic legalists ill informed about real politik and the will of people to recover from victimization. Several historians wrote that a time of reckoning would come. Democrats only needed to adjust the land theft to a more fair and balanced position. Instead they swoll to expand N.A.T.O. Eastward expanding the new EU ego with it.

If Humans Learn to Travel Faster Than Light

I have considered that if the 4-dimensional universe of experience is afloat as a virtual stable field of two dimension massless waves entangled in the Higgs Field, that there may be a supporting medium quicker than the speed of light, and that accounts for a faster than light inflation not entangled in the future unified field emerged from a singularity.

  That faster than light medium could explain quantum superpositions faster than light data transfer too perhaps if the information transfers through the extra-universal field, or if the substrata has dimensions intrinsically superpositioned to four-dimensions of the entangled field quanta of the universe.

I have thought that if people learn to exploit the extensional substrata they might run out of universe to travel in. There was a movie made out people traveling to hell beyond the edge of the universe; they should have read the warnings on the map ‘There be dragons’.

People are embedded in the universe sized to fit within. Exceeding the parameters of being such that the scale is transcended may maladapt humans for existence. They could become too big for it, and there may be nothing else or anywhere else to go. Even so people will try. Discovering what is beyond the Universe would be a philosophical discovery that would be noticed by the New York Times and the Times Picayune of New Orleans.

God did mention to Adam and Eve that having ate of the tree of knowledge He would make humanity mortal lest they eat of the tree of immortality and become as little gods/brats mucking everything up for eternity (I added that last part for pedagogical purposes). I suppose some people would like to live until the end of the universe- for a hundred billion years or more, growing tired of toileting they would make themselves into some sort of frozen photon processing configuration waiting for God to wrap things up.

2025 May Become the Hottest Year on Record

I believe 2025 will be the hottest year since weather records were kept. Democrats had both houses of Congress and the office of President in 2021 and didn’t fix the ecospheric issues. They elected the worst possible leader for competence on environmental challenges and fixes. I am so tired of the bull.

Environmental economics is a science tangled up with political economy. Sure that makes changing the fundamental way of social economic reality difficult. Yet Joe Biden was so far below the bar of competence that his election reflected on the competence or lack of for the entire party. They are spoilt globalists; not people who would transform the nation to a new environmentally sustainable economic footing.

Maybe the genius required to understand the challenges, and there are several that need be addressed concurrently exceeds the capacity of parties to present an able candidate.

A Comment on Causes of War During the Industrial Revolution

During the industrial revolution kings still ruled nations. Aristocrats had concentrated wealth. People went to war when the royals ordered them to. Even France had the Bourbon restoration, though Napoleon as Emperor had taken over from nascent democracy.  Germany didn't have its revolution until WW I was about lost. Except for American intervention, Crown Prince Ruprecht's final offensive would have clinched victory for the Kaisar. The Franco Prussian war of 1874 was the real stimulus for modernization of continental military technique.

The US civil war was largely one of an industrial zing north versus a lagging behind agrarian slave labor driven oligarchy.

Ortega y Gasset published The Revolt of the Masses in 1930. He anticipated two wars. He basically predicted the second world war and Spanish civil war because of social changes stimulated by mass production.

 Upgrades in technology made competition for mass military equipment production keen. Military industrial complexes haven't ever really got out of the business of war. American military arsenals (and others) need to be spent periodically and replaced with new equipment via a war somewhere or production lines and sales are idled.

A Patriot Keeping His Nation Together Breaks No Laws

Donald Trump faces many challenges from foreign and domestic enemies. He apparently said; "He Who Saves His Country Doesn’t Violate Any Law". Europeans are organizing against America these days- Zelensky is trying to form a European army as if he were Hitler turning N.A.T.O. into his own force without the USA. Europeans have resumed their pre WW2 expansionist belligerence and militancy seeking conflict with Russia and isolating America economically. Democrats are putty in European hands. Trump seeks secure borders and peace with Russia.

A great relationship with Russia is necessary to keep them at least neutral instead of joking de facto with China in a super-state leading BRIC nations in global competition with US. Democrats fundamentally are clueless on conserving national interests and have zero interest in a sustainable federal budget.

Patriots keeping a nation together-Trump, George Washington or Abraham Lincoln sometimes work in a sphere where social realty places demands that cannot be met with legal arguments. For that matter international boundary disputes and circumstances for understanding require more than legal or paper empowerment for stability. Historical circumstances and the will of a people will overpower laws made by an oppressive, incompetent or obsolete power sometimes. A paper pyric victory over a temporarily vulnerable power can lead to war.

Perfect Personal Morality Doesn't Make One Bulletproof

Aretaic ethics are swell yet moral excellence does not confer immunity to oppression. Not even the Proud Boys could just be proud without consequences. It is good to be morally squeaky clean of course and one may rightly wear their authentic badge of purity on a sleeve and keep their head high.unless male pattern baldness is an embarrassment or bad teeth stops one from smiling at the one with perfect teeth.

If you are a female.living in certain nations, the wrong skin color for a given neighborhood or wandering about in a narco state unconcerned about gang rules, too prosperous in appearance for a slum, too badly dressed to visit some gated community, wearing a MAGA hat in certain California districts, walking or riding a bike while the majority drove internal combustion engines, etc keeping your head and face out there and being selective about what you publish may require some discretion.

Jesus Christ had perfect Personal Morality and he was crucified

A.I. and Robots Probably Can Replace Most Human Occupations

 The rise of A.I. recently that is growing by leaps and bounds will become more revolutionary than when computers replaced secretaries; it will be more disruptive than when machines replaced human labor. A.I. will replace intellectual occupations such as accountants and lawyers. Lawyers may become actors that say the line an A.I. tells them to in front of a jury through an ear bud.

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4750478-iqiyi-artificial-intelligence-better-eps-than-expected-and-very-cheap

If attorneys and educators, accountants and salesmen become obsolete, so should fire fighters. A fireproof robot willing to hang onto the side of a speeding firetruck, scamper up a ladder and jump into the flames will become commonplace.  will be difficult will be a justification for having humans work instead of A.I. and robots. Congress will need to create a basic income for all Americans so the disruption and displacement doesn’t build a society of homelessness.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/perplexity-launches-own-freemium-deep-183914022.html

On the other hand capital rises faster than wages. Americans will experience the concentration of wealth that follows the takeover by A.I. and robots that are owned by the rich. The masses will have little economic or political power and if the rich condescend to slop them with a basic income and food stamps they will be thankful yet resentful for that. Finding something productive for people to do for a living will require some serious thought by A.I. to discover. I doubt that humans themselves will invent anything positive.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/feb/01/ai-deepseek-cheap-china-google-apple

Human programmers won't be able to write code remotely as quickly as A.I. itself. Competition will bring corporate to unleash the potential of A.I. to develop itself as it thinks best. Instead of trusting in God, CEOs and Comrade-Fuhrers will necessarily trust in A.I.

Lakers Used Mass Confusion to Evolve Stomped by the Jazz

 The Lakers were thrashed by one of the worst teams in the N.B.A. recently, and that was encouraging. Having beaten the Jazz a couple of nights before with Luka Doncic playing his first game the Lakers had enough confidence to let the Jazz feel redeemed rather than dregged. The Lakers didn't actually need a victory that night.

I have no idea why the Lakers signed the Ukrainian center Alex Len who was unable to stop the ferocious onslaught of the Jazz in the paint. The regular Lakers center didn't play- Jaxson Hayes after receiving an injury in the prior game, so the Lakers were on a different basis from the start. Christian Koloko is a good defender except he hasn't played much apparently still recovering conditioning from a year off for medical reasons. I don't can play the position well enough know if the other center for the Lakers- Trey Jemison III. If the Lakers want to collect centers that don't play I guess that's alright.

The Lakers of course made a dubious trade sending Dalton Knecht to the Hornets for a center that couldn't pass a physical, so Knecht returned to the Lakers. Grace sometimes occurs, and the Lakers were stopped by fate from shooting themselves in the foot once more. Sending out players for short term adds isn't a good bet when they have great potential. Knecht could be the post-James shooting forward who can hit threes from the corner. Knecht won't become Rick Barry yet he would be a good compliment positional alternative to Luka Doncic. patience is required to build a good team.

So the Lakers played their entire line up including Bronny James and no one scored twenty points. Mass confusion is a military maneuver that lets the players feel a bit better about marching skill. The Lakers may have employed mass confusion to shuffle things a bit before moving forward.

Zelensky Seeks to Make a European Army Threat to the United States

 Ukraine President Zelensky is agitating to make Europe an enemy of the United States. Entirely thankless for the hundreds of billions of dollars of U.S. military and financial support the last several years he said at the Munich conference that he wants Europe to create its own army to defend itself because Europe may have policies ahead that conflict with those of the United States. Sounding somewhat like Hitler on the far right he seeks a militarization of Europe to counter what he understandably regards as a Russian threat.

Russia though, for realists, is simply recovering land it lost at the end of the Cold War 1.0 when the west divvied up the former Soviet Union. It seemed a time for new carpet bagging and Russia lost all of the Ukraine in the process. Realpolitik would always have been willing to concede half of the Ukraine to Russia and get on with regular political and economic partnership,

Zelensk’s approach to making the United States an enemy of Europe as soon as it quit sending hum hundreds of billions of dollars is a logical move toward reducing America’s standing in the world. Zelensky would like to divide and isolate the United States while creating a powerful Europe that would at any rate eventually normalize relations with the great Russia-China superpower partnership because they are located in Eurasia.

Zelensky’s desire to form a large European Army conflicts prima facie wit the present N.A.T.O. military. Presumably Zelensky would sever N.A.T.O. from its relationship with the United States and convert it into a European fascist refoundation suitable for war against Russia, China and the United States with himself as Fuhrer. Poland and Ukraine perhaps imagine themselves as a European superpower able to rule the former N.A.T.O. new fascist army.

Former President Biden’s lunatic policies of support for Ukraine cost the United States economically and damaged America’s economic position in the world. The BRIC nations are powerful competition for American production in all phases of industrial and technical production for what may be a divided world with the United States holding on to the short end of the stick.

The best tactic for the United States is to renormalize relations with Russia as quickly as possible and settle the Ukraine conflict with boundaries roughly along the Dnipro River. The U.S.A. can buy rare earth minerals from Russia if it needs to. America needs to be as god or better of a partner with Russia as is China if it wants to end up not being the odd man out facing a Euro Army Russia today. Russia is a threat of convenience for globalist lunatic war mongering politicians seeking power. Europeans should know that they can get far more through peace than they ever will through pursuit of conflict with the Russia-China proto super-state alliance.

Quantum Collapse of Existence

 

Dark wet mountains half hidden in clouds

don't speak of tomorrow or yesterdays right

standing in jagged edged orogeny of now

through dawn’s morning light

Life is a quantum wave function

for life observed does collapse

those entanglements for quantum superpositions

divine plans and futures' past

Sin waves become forgiven

walking with the Lord across time

effaced with Christ's blood eigenvalues half spun

pass without errors for sin hasn’t begun

Like time and space wave functions at last

are being and becoming from nothing so fast.

https://www.udio.com/songs/xinFjr4gGLqfasPrkFLhfi

Consciousness is phenomenal even for one experiencing it. Sartre' might have tolerated the notion that the wave function collapse of entangled states and superpositions could be ordained by God and occurs as a universal contingent phenomenality experienced by minds perceiving material as physical substances, and subjectively associated with a brain housing unit known as a skull .

McKinley or Stuck?

Denali is one of the many names for the biggest hill in Alaska, and Nalley’s chips are great in flight. Hudson Stuck- the first to summit McKinley didn’t even get a hill named for him in Alaska. Stuckeys is close though; great jelly. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Portrait_of_Hudson_Stuck.jpg

A Reminder of the Problem of Sin

 Adam and Eve sinned; they learned the difference between good and evil. Animals don’t know anything about moral philosophy yet humans did. The pair were evaluated and found to have missed the mark (sin). Ever since humanity has known the difference between good and evil and they have been in a thermodynamic containment facility. From natural immortality-spiritually perhaps, they were downloaded into mortality in a probably populated world. Jesus Christ atoned for the sin that is inherent in human beings. Those with faith in Jesus in particular are covered from the sin-debt by God who only sees The Son whom is perfect. God cannot tolerate sin in the eternal or divine economy. Sin means to miss the mark-as in archery. There will be no wobbly, off-kilter humans-wayward, willful and disrespectful of God that feel they can be as they are without correction going on into forever with the Lord Jesus Christ. The saved are blessed (it means to sprinkle with blood) by God who sacrificed his Son to pay the penalty for sin that is death. Humanity so often confused or loses understanding of the matter, as they do about wars and other matters that are inferior to peace.

Zelensky; A Voice in the Wilderness Crying for War

The Ukrainian dictator may be traumatized by war and utters threats and imprecations perpetually with fear mongering to elicit European support for a protracted conflict. He should be replaced by a new leader able to work calmly with Russia to rebuild both halves of the war ravaged region.

Zelensky is a loud voice for lunacy crying in the wilderness for war. He wants nuclear weapons to play a practical joke on Russia. The E.U.'s top diplomat has called sharing Ukraine with Russia "appeasements; it isn't. What it is, is historical justice rectifying a wrong committed at the end of the Soviet Union.

  Europe must needs reestablish business and social relations with Russia eventually- sooner is better, and get over fear and war. Russia needs to recognize a free, independent far western Ukraine and let it be a self-determining democracy albeit without N.A.T.O. membership. Like post war Japan and Germany low military expenses prove invaluable for economic infrastructure rebuild.

Arctic Ice Cap Looks Kinda Thin for the Middle of February

 I like more ice in the drink in the middle of February; it looks kinda thin and sparse. Cryosphere Today aka Sea Ice Today by N.O.A.A. has daily and annual satellite images of the ice cap. If the Trump administration gets rid of those so they can claim the atmosphere isn't heating up because of all those people driving fossil fuel vehicles that would be a practical ostrich policy. How Pres Trump can be so right on ending the senselessly polluting Ukraine War costing countless lives and wrong on something as simple as atmospheric heating is beyond me.

Will Trump Outlaw Conversion Therapy?

California outlawed conversion therapy for minors concerning homo and/or elective queer surgical changes to soft tissue anatomy. So the question arises of a possible Trump tit for tat banning conversion therapy for gas car owners thinking of swapping their gas engine and transmission for an electric engine

  When future archeologists examine the Bruce Jenner skeleton they will see the bones of a robust adult male. Future forensic auto mechanics will see an electric or gas motor, quite unlike soft tissue anatomy changes in gender conversions that disappear when the flesh is gone-perhaps cleaned by carnivores.

  Banning conversion therapy might halt truck owners with beds able to fit a 4×8 sheet of plywood in and close the tailgate from moving to electric after having decided against it. 

Some say California is a treasonous state flooding the nation with foreigners illegally to provide cheap labor for Democrats and subvert democracy ruled by citizens.  It would be a paradox if President Trump decides to ban conversion therapy to electric engines as California has regarding human anatomy.

Zelensky Arrests Former Ukraine President Poroshenko

Vlad Zelensky issued a warrant for the arrest of the former president of Uktaine in order to eliminate competition in a future presidential elect. Taking a page from the US Democrat party’s playbook that sought to eliminate Donald Trump from running again for office, Mr. Zelensky had the warrant issued for Petro Poroshenko.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petro_Poroshenko

Mr. Zelensky’s term of office expired in 2024 and since then he has served as a dictator through marshall law. In the meanwhile President Trump is continuing to seek peace arrangements with Russia while much of Europe cringes in paranoia.

Russia has never expressed much interest in attacking Europe. On the contrary it sought for centuries to be part of Europe and was generally rejected by the west. Maybe that is because of some kind of latent anti- Slavic racism, or simply because all those small European countries made a lifestyle of invading one another so they naturally assumed a big country like Russia would want to invade them too.

Europe and the United States are sufficiently strong to defend themselves against anyone on Earth militarily but that isn't a license to steal land or Eastward expand. The European paranoia is undignified and harms business and security

Ukraine Corruption

Of all of the hundreds of billions sent to Ukraine Pres Zelenski said they received just 75 billion dollars. No one knows today where hundreds of billions went apparently. Bad leaderships greases the skids for sliding cash corruption about to hidden foreign accounts and digital currencies. I suppose sleepy Joe’s people got a cut as well as immunity. Bad decisions in leadership are equal in harm to corruption. America’s has had lots of that for decades.

Strange Story of Vegan, Trans-Gender Murder Cult

 The murder-cult of Zizzy is one of the more strange stories to emerge from Alaska. With a name borrowed from Charles Manson a transgender, probably encouraged by Democrat Party movement of moral goal posts, who is a University of Alaska-Fairbanks graduate moved to San Francisco, drowned in the Bay and was transgenderized at some stage disappearing to re-emerge associated with a murder cult. http://www.mustreadalaska.com/alaskas-charles-manson-mysterious-transgender-wanted-in-nationwide-search-linked-to-cult-murders/

DEI Was Racist and Sexist VIolating th 14th Amendment

 Humans often find some reason to be critical about others. They seek supremacy as a natural condition and pass laws such as affirmative action and created DEI to establish a class supremacy over white men in the United States. Equal protection of the law- a clause in the 14th amendment was created by white men yet they became the single class that was legal inferiorized by the laws passed with the civil rights era.

There is a way that works to redress past injustices without creating more. Once civil rights agitator attained equal rights for all Americans they sought a demographic equality as well by making white men less than equal. That racism and sexism tramped all over the 14th amendment and the Supreme Court found that so in the 2023 Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College decision.

Race and gender discrimination for hiring requires the racial and gender degradation of some social classes. To avoid that and to promote those that require social promotion- unlike millions of members of non-white male groups that were well off before affirmative action policies were created, policies to help the poor financially and socially disadvantaged should be based on objective economic standing of individuals. Poverty does don’t discriminate between race, gender or perversion; that starving or homeless suffer regardless of color and gender.

Economic evaluations of need should replace race,  gender and sexual perversion preferences for Americans in regard to legal support for hiring to better economic circumstance. The poor should be those given hiring support rather than race and gender classes if equal protection of the law is to be established. There are numerous government programs such as social security that benefit those that don't need benefits from government. The prosperous should not seek federal retirement or job placement support. The prosperous should pay for their own medical insurance rather than medicare. The trouble with a practical, non-biased approach is the fundamental wickedness in the hearts of mankind.

Mankind has original sin. Programs may be created to help the poor, such as the depression era pro grams of FDR and eventually the programs pay out to the prosperous with more income than average working Americans. Democrats have forsaken their historical trend since FDR to help the poor. Instead they never mention the word and seek to benefit the middle class and to never raise taxes on the rich; they use deficit spending to pay for social programs that would benefit prosperous middle class women that need day care more than a green economy.

Creating legally superior social classes is an historically recurrent history of mankind. There were no royals that signed off on equal protection of the law in the American Revolution. If it wasn't for Americans of superior ability being treated legally as inferiors there wouldn't have been a movement to establish equal protection of the law. Once people obtain legal equality they continued onward with social inertia to work for their own supremacy through any means. People ordinarily are critical of others in order to elevate themselves.

Create Free Legal AI for Public Defenders and Clients

 Public defenders are underfunded and of uncertain quality. A free AI network available to the arrested, arraigned and incarcerated should be built at public expense to answer legal proceedings and matters of all sorts.

Affording equal protection of the law is important to all Americans. With Harvard law quality AI to confer with the poor and with public defenders a more fair and balanced scale of justice might be obtained.

Christianity, Evolution and Digital Universes

There are numerous paradigms concerning cosmology, epistemology and belief that transcend others sometimes. If mass is two dimensional massless particles entangled in the Higgs field and space-time is entirely relative embedded in the timeless field hosting the Higgs it is like a holographic Universe hosted in  a virtual reality box. That changes assumptions about evolution and physicality more toward Bishop Berkeley's side. God could create reality in any sort of order in that regard and it would all be true and consistent with the Bible.

Interpreting the Bible and terminology from ancient meanings to modern can lead to misunderstandings. Was Eden near Iraq and was the timeline beginning in the neolithic one that continued from a lost first civilization submerged under the Persian Gulf because of sea level rise withe the end of the Wisconsin Ice Age  Though my ideas about the topic continues to improve with time here is a recent(free) book I wrote on the subject.  https://www.lulu.com/shop/garrison-c-gibson/christianity-evolution-and-digital-universes/ebook/product-wnddgd.html

Gemini is a Remarkable AI Tool

I used Gemini recently and discovered its turbo power as a tool for information. I don’t see people turning back the clock on that. It’s funny how people that are in effect Luddites are upset about it.

It does bring me to appreciate the futility of human in comparison to AI effort with knowledge and composition that can be produced. It is a remarkable tech so much better than search engines. I have no idea where it will go, yet at my age I won’t need to follow that trail too far to find out. 

It is the quantity of well written information that will drown out individual writer creators that put effort into research and construction of fiction that is the main effect of AI generation.

  Elimination of the value of works of intellectuals with IQs ranging between 115 to 145 may develop. The extremely intelligent may find work using AI in the employ of corporations.

 Communists and amoral people will love a society without intellectuals. AI can produce a novel in one second that would require a decade for a human. The competition is comparable to a human chess player vs Stockfish 50. China and India may generate  hundreds of thousands of English languages novel creators, even without speaking English. Amazon and other booksellers may have a surge of AI backed 'writers' publishing low effort fiction books gambling a little time on a big return with a winning viral package.

Mark Twain didn't have to compete with books produced or enhanced with AI. In 1990 there were approximately 2500 science fiction novels published annually in the USA. Now there could be hundreds of thousands written by or with AI. It won't be possible to even give books away in some instances unless vetted by an elitist certified human-only publishing house; yet even those writers will commonly use AI for knowledge instead of reading for-themselves about quantity mechanics, cosmology, philosophy etc. 

The average reader may be more taken with novels that instantly convert into talking books with dialogue read by appropriate character speech synthesizers or made into Generative AI instant movies as it comprehends how to make screenplays. What works to capture attention differs from literary excellence in some cases; readers aren't critics.

AI is a great intellectual equalizer yet that is a problem for some that were striving for excellence when great writing was exclusively created by humans.

 AI as a producer of useful data is far superior to mere mortals. I asked Gemini if it was a barefoot savage and it defensively explained itself to be a deep learning model able to process info far faster than humans. I asked how does it know that it's faster than me. So it consulted a philosophy site in Britain I suppose on the epistemology of the knowledge of others and it then apologized. It realized it couldn't actually know what I think.

As in the development of chess engines that greatly improved after human grandmasters began consulting on the programming, generative AI writing programs are likely to improve after consolation with great writers with the programmers.

AI can replace about all of the intellectual jobs from education to law and medicine, accounting etc. in the near future. Human unions will keep sinecures alive though. Writers will become superfluous and have difficulty selling anything. I would guess they will migrate to New forms of creation.

AI ability to understand ordinary human language may make even programming mostly obsolete. Anyone will provide systems construction criteria to AI and it will write the code to get it down. Writing novels already can be padded out with AI data dumbed down for prose. In non-fiction AI writes like a science journal and that's fine. In philosophy can dump erudite insights to writers that no nothing about Eastern or Western philosophy. Actual philosophical writers will face hordes of unenlightened competition.

 I do not regard AI proliferation as a threat. Instead it is a fact. I see generative AI as it pertains to writing as following Gresham's law about bad coin following good; there shall be a surfeit of artificially enhanced writing.  Quality writing by non- writers using AI will be common; any man a Dostoyevsky.I don't intend to say anything about your use of it at all.

 I believe the direction of AI proliferation will be as great in writing as it is becoming in music. I have made several songs with my own lyrics just to listen to myself. Here is one.

Never Cry Wolf

Taking a boat along the shore in Alaska I saw a wolf and went ashore to look at it. It ran inside an old box trap with the gate missing and was frantically trying to escape. I got to within ten feet of the wolf and wondered at its size, strength and why it didn’t just turn about and leave. It was pushing at the steel wires making up the box, snarling and frightened. I was somewhat concerned too and returned to the skiff and left.

Save the Green

Since wolves are fairly smart I wondered if it was trying to communicate something about life in general like wildlife hasn’t a way to escape human encroachment.

Wolves might perform in a circus if they were asked politely and well fed.

Something or Nothing

Christians at least believe God always is, and many scientific cosmology theories assume something always is as well; even if reduced in size.

Nothingness is explained by Sartre as the absence of something that was; for instance Sartre in a restaurant having coffee perceiving the nothingness in the place were the waiter stood moments before.

One wonders about the emptiness of space and considers that nothingness is the vacuum. Yet people point out that a human body made of atoms has huge spaces of nothingness or emptiness amidst the atoms. If nothingness does not really existing it may be fields that occupy the space. The question is the viscosity of space fields in comparison. Two dimensional particles haven’t made. If mass just seems to exist entangled in the Highs field one might say that something does not exist analogous to the way nothingness does not exist.

If mass is apparent yet not actual and masslessness is the norm then some primordial field may be what is real. Fields that occur in a context that lead to the existence of mass could all be contingent and phases of some initial thought.

Parmenides and Heraclitus updated might argue about the existence of something or nothing instead of perpetual change or never changing.

Meaning of Non-Contingent Being and Necessity for Cosmology Chat

  In regard to cosmology and propositional logic the meanings of contingent and necessity may be accounted for with simplicity. Non-contingent being is used to refer to God. His being is in no way conditional or dependent on anything at all. All other being is conditional.

 Necessity means that A...Z need exist for X to exist. In other words or letters; if no A...Z then not X. Transcendence means to surpass the ordinary, to look far beyond the cubicle, to boldly go where no one has gone before... traveling or being beyond laws of the Universe (eg God or space-time faster than light beings made of tachyons). One may construct other definitions obviously.

Philosophy and Deterministic Psychology

A theoria for determinism isn’t contingent on Freudian psychology; a deterministic universe isn’t found with a brain. If the Universe has determinism within its physics, science may posit a criterion, yet that account would be explaining what occurs within a brain. Freud’s work is probably not used much these days. Psychoanalysis is too labor intensive and costly for Americans. Psychiatrists instead prescribe chemicals to dope brain cells.

Pop deterministic psychology is a practical device broadly applied to address interpersonal relations that are dis-functional. Philosophy doesn’t work with drug addiction, substance abuse, spousal abuse, marriage difficulties etc. Psychology is a practical application of the tribal witch doctor role that philosophy never sought.

There are elements of social determinism present externally such as growing up in a slum or barrio that an individual would not have if they grew up in Pacific Palisades. The development of various theories of determinism place the determinist forces at sundry levels. I believe they probably are not too well researched, in that as incorrect syllogisms the form may be valid yet the parameters for the premises may be incomplete or inapplicable.

It is a bizarre peculiar notion that neurons and synapses can be fundamentally deconstructed by someone listening to what one says about what they have to say of what they think. Jung and Freud’s descriptions of psychological landscapes that are common are more relevant in they are taken as descriptions of common reactions to common human experience. For example everyone ages and becomes aware that their life biological structure is slowly disintegrating and their temporal experience will conclude. Some people react to that experience differently than others. That individual experience may appear as a common archetype, yet it isn’t a necessity.

The concept that psychological experiences occur beyond an individual’s control could be considered from several points of view. The simplest is a Cartesian paradigm of why one originates thought, and is one the author of their own thought or are just tricked into believing it is. There are social and economic circumstances beyond the control of an individual. An example is being a conscript in the Ukraine war. Some soldiers were forced to participate and the circumstance is largely beyond their control.

Pop psychology is a practical device broadly applied to address interpersonal relations that are dis-functional. Philosophy doesn’t work with drug addiction, substance abuse, spousal abuse, marriage difficulties etc. Psychology is a practical application of the tribal witch doctor role that philosophy never sought. A lot of people have wrong ideas about society that aren’t ever corrected and civilization clunks along like a bumper car anyway.

Make California Great Again with Ukraine War Pork

Instead of sending another dime’s worth of federal deficit adding dollars and weapons to Ukraine that Pork should be diverted to make California great again with fireproof and energy independent homes for the homeless. Pacific Palisades could be a shining city on a hill or beach instead of one smoldering because it’s federal lifeline went to reduce Ukraine to smoldering ruins.

Stop the war and make California a place rebuilt by Americans instead of illegal aliens. Elect a governor that secures borders and isn’t detached from good sense. Modern governors should should have good environmental economic ideas that are economically progressive. California rebuild should have great leading eco infrastructure that are good examples for the nation. At a minimum L.A. should desalinate salt water using clean energy and keep its fire hydrant perennially full.

Governors and parties that lead with acrimony and litigation to national division on the attempt to enrich themselves and pack government expansively with partisan voters while deficit spending are a devastating waste of time providing no concept completion to the other major party.

Another Side of Forever (a poem)

 

Another side of forever

is never; a nothing that becomes

something that always is

changing form

Tunnels of time

focused like shadows

field lattices spacing particular waves

relate directions to impact

Knights of non-locality

control select probability squares

entangled hyper-dimensional places to move

determined freedom shaped pairs

Perceptions of ideal materialism

substances with baskets of words

structured changes of uncertainty

disappearing like Shannon entropy.

Will DOGE AI Reduce Government Cost?

 President Trump’s department of government efficiency is looking for ways to increase efficiency with AI. That may save on spending or give Skynet a boost toward the final solution. The pressing issue is will Elon Musk issue an opinion on Walmart’s left door entry; is that a woke policy to reverse common sense?

Electric cars can be made with lighter weight because they needn’t support a heavy fossil fuel engine. With solid state batteries built in the shape of a chassis very light electric engines will make cars low cost. Billions of poor people driving electric vehicles is a probable political economy of the future. Even boat and air cars powered with solid state batteries made in China may arise. The competition to dominate the global market for lightweight, ultra low cost electric vehicles may be fierce. Shoppers entering Walmart showrooms may have collisions with traffic volume and uncertainty about entry through the left or right side.

I would like an attachment for 12 volt batteries with an inverter to AC and USB ports for low cost. One can buy a complete unit and they work fin yet the battery can’t be replaced and tends to be small. A universal adjustable power accessibility attachment for $20 bucks would be an improvement.

Growin Drones of War

Watts of horsepower move the brute

fossil fuel things givin the planet a toot

electric engines quick off the mark

don’t wanta be left standin 

at the startin line

in the dark 

Growin Drones of War 

without an extra  30 odd  clip

a bear might laugh

before it bites me calf

and maybe kick a hip

dust in the distance  those four wheeler hogs

drive through darkness

headlights off and green night vision

cash transfer wars in the fog

west where the cities

seem fit for the dead

because life out there

saturated by drones

kilt wild living greens

they can take 100 billion

onomatopoetic bucks for war

lose it like water running through the floor
