Ecocidal politicians often threaten paving over semi-wild land for development or dumping industrial waste into rivers, yet there are deeper, subtler assaults on life in the western United States.
Illegal aliens corrupting wages of the north are just one economic fact of the era; another is the sprawl of farms in Mexico to grow cash crops for export to tables in the U.S.A.
In Mexican fields smothered beneath human excrement stimulating economic growth of vegetables for American plates lies another story; making the farmlands required clearing of semi-wild lands with wild flowers serving sweet nectar to migratory hummingbirds. Hummingbirds with heart beats as high as 1600 beats per minute are the top fuel eliminators of the sky’s cardiac competition.
Alaska has an excellent naturalist who has detailed much of the ecosystem of the north. A recent subject study was that of Hummingbirds that migrate from Mexico to Alaska seasonally. These birds are in decline because of the loss of habitat in Mexico and on the route north that had nectar-refilling stations before ecocide and herbicide were developed.
In Alaska hummingbirds are one of the basic pollinators of wild blueberries that are an essential food for a large web of life. Bear eat blueberries along with countless birds and other species including insects and humans.
Human social development today should concentrate on halting large sale international migration for economic growth and focus upon population stabilization and low entropy economic security for all people accentuating low cost intellectual occupations.
In order to slow down ecocidalist tendencies in classical economic practices Mexican ecological habitat land ‘islands’ designed, as nectar-fueling stations for hummingbirds should be constructed south of the border with U.S. assistance. A 1650-mile border control canal and berm control infrastructure should also go ahead to keep illegals in their own nation where they could be employed fighting drug cartels.
In the world today classical economic planners such as Tim Geitner seek to add entropy to the ecosystem in trying to make uniform economic growth on a global basis a policy alongside entropy in national independence environmentally. Using the Boyle’s law principle of expanding gas uniformly in a given area in global society is just bad thinking. It is better to increase quality and lower entropy locally as does life, and defer the entropy to externalities that are not harmful so far as possible. One cannot violate the second law of thermodynamics yet one can finesse it to advantage and direct entropy increase to areas where such efforts will serve humanity and all life more profitably.
NPR and other leftist elite organizations of political agitation have sought a global high entropy social structure with the environment human and social developed to one gay evil conformity. Differences and independence, environmental health and local ecological autonomy are regarded as segregationist. Foe-be-yas are decreed by the Ayatollahs of the Atheist Religion upon those that do not regard standardized, high entropy collectivism as the ultimate destiny of mankind, but consider that an absolute doom.
Some things for the continuity of life require segregation. Cell membranes segregate cell from non-cell. Predators and prey have a balance because they are not fully integrated. Not all things economic are more effective with totalitarian control of the Earth by non-working investors gambling on the market with sound calculations of probabilities of profit. Equally human opportunity for all people is a good ideal, yet that should not lend itself to exploiting and destroying the quality of life in order to concentrate wealth globally. There is nothing wrong with different races of humanity. Racial harmony does not require extermination of racial differentiation through compulsory breeding policies enforced through economic policy.
Because the political history of segregation in the United States has given the word a pejorative political meaning the past several decades I must write a little more to explain why an irrational political stampede to knock down all fences and barriers to economic development globally is not a good response nor appropriate correction to human social injustice.
If human beings had the ability to conduct their economic activities in a very high tech and careful manner so the environment would be little affected and no species would be exterminated, would there exist any reason at all-religious or otherwise, to destroy the health of the world’s ecosystem? Wouldn’t those that sought to destroy the ecology of the Earth be considered evil? They would, and therefore we should conduct or economic affairs with the goal of neutralizing all displacing actions upon the world ecosystem. Electric ships with no noise or chemical pollution in the oceans, factories located underground, no net-loss of biosphere in all constructions—these are simple goals of a society advanced in knowledge beyond the scientific ignorance of the 19th century.
Anti-segregation ideology is politically exploited today in support of global corporate profits and a totalization of the planetary political systems. It is necessary on the contrary, to place ecological and political firewalls and barriers to ecocide and gross human subjugation to corrupt authority.
In diversity is strength is a cliché that can find confirmation even in biology. The human genome is strong and responding to natural selection challenges because of its diversity. In a monogenetic context it would be slow or incapable of offering up successful responses to unforeseen environmental challenges. In the future of space exploration if humanity does not destroy itself the next 300 years, a variegated human genetic and racial diversity would be a better foundation for the diversification of isolated human space adaptation than a standard, uniform production model.
Ecological segregation for conservation of life should reinforce human personal development rather than degrade it as should complete high-entropy integration into a standard global collective with inescapable dystopian under the control of elites with scientific lackeys programming the human genome.
It is well known that capitalism with wrong value theory variables input creates a permanent class of excluded and oppressed people. Eliminating social oppression and class inferiority through strong local and regional empowerment of ecosystems and interaction of humans with environmental security is not in the present global corporate-socialist collective playbook.
Humanity will not eventually become out of touch with the general human condition. Fellow humans will always have the capacity to step in and remedy gross social injustices if they have the freedom to act. The greater dangers to human quality of life arise from destroying the ecosystem and political firewalls enabling independence rather than through imagined recrudescent ancient racial subjugation political systems.
In the United States liberals and conservatives together support equal opportunity and a reasonable standard of living for all citizens regardless of their genomic individuation. National political standards should reinforce perpetuation of genomic individuation rather than seek to eliminate it, allowing nature to take its core of exogamous synthetic union of new lines in marriage like relationships. The people of the United States should not allow the stampede inciting fear of segregation to let developers, corporatists and socialist totalitarians bury national sovereignty, ecological vitality and full employment beneath the ideological sludge of uniformitarianist consumerism.

Quantum Chess and Concepts of Theocosmological Construction
Qubit Chess and Theocosmological Inquiry
On the subject of bits and qubits, I have recently been reading Vedral’s 2010 book ‘Decoding Reality’. He has much to say on the topic of quantum information. So what of it can be used to suggest theories of how a quantum chess computer can be constructed?
I am not certain. If quantum computer research today has built 10 or 15 qubit processors would that be sufficient to make a game of quantum chess in which the piece’s locations are not known a priori?
A regular bit of information in its simplest form is a 0 or 1. A qubit or quantum bit is simultaneously a 0 and 11 as well as an infinite number of fractions between 0 and 1. The positions or values of a qubit may be associated or visualized as a quantum spin state or direction. The value of a qubit obviously is unknown until observed or measured when it collapses to just one value.
The fact that qubits or quanta evaluated at a certain level of protocol in some respects model select fundamental aspects of reality is interesting for the purpose of theological speculation upon the nature of the construction of the Universe. Existentialist logic of being and nothingness, of monism and pluralism and intervals within a solid space seem more solvable within the quantum world of superposition of all possible state simultaneously of quanta until measured or determined within a given macroscopic level of protocol. For all of the fundamental quantum constructions of spin characteristic bound quanta determined or locked temporally within larger emergent structures comprise a kind of portrait of a pointillist Universe spoken into formation from an initial word value in the still quantum energy field.
Superpositioned quantum states of all possible locations for all quantum before an initial waveform collapse into quantum determinism resemble a initial temporal start of phase transitioning expanding construction from a minimal original genesis.
The qubit chess game creating a determinist temporal strategy from all possible strategies in some ways is as ponderous as envisioning the 4 dimensional determinism of a space-time value from all possible values as an inverted bell curve of expansion. From an indeterminist condition of atemporality a word selection cascaded the construction into temporally being. A qubit chess game may have an end game of a temporal and determined condition. The theological speculation upon methods of quantum construction by God may have no end until experience reveals the eternal for-itself.

Reverse Causation Creation Theory Quantum Action Design Chaos
Obviously the effort by some to prove that life is accidental or a consequence of probabilities, that evolution means only an apparent design of a life friendly universe compiled through automatic self-organization of natural mass-energy and that all intelligence is simple a phenomenal accretion of quantum composition seems to entail the corollary that intelligence and thought really are meaningless. I am skeptical on that point and should mention that I believe God issued everything including the realm of quantum uncertainty for His own purposes.
For the edification of those that believe multi-verse theory is pseudo-science, I will proceed to recount the argument from the double-reverse causation of the Universe with verisimilitude of a football quantum play book design.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/causation-backwards/
I do not wish to be critical of Cynthia Sue Larson’s exposition of reverse causality and the creation of the Universe. It is artfully presented. If such reverse causality is actual, and if it may be affected by intention, the subject becomes even more confusing. We are certain that the unscrupulous will turn good science to a bad end just like they did the A-bomb.
Plainly though, the point of view could be exploited by post—modernist elites in government in support of a Zarathustrian recurrence or default pre-determinism along a line of all possible meaninglessness of government and sardonic right of profit taking from the rubes.
http://tetrahedral.blogspot.com/2010/06/retrocausality.html
How would a reverse causality creation theory actualize if it really existed? This is not some kind of evil demonic reversal of all physical process suitable for Halloween. If I understand it right (I probably don’t) the quantum mechanical realm of all possible quantum positions could be regarded as a cloud of unknowing or uncertainty continuously being all possible universe of which this universal download is just one example.
http://realityshifters.com/pages/articles/retrocausalrs.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrocausality
It could be more accurately described with an Apple notebook and pen using football schematic diagrams that could be an upgrade on Feynman transactions to a cosmological level. I just have this web-book so I will skip that.
Describing the football playbook of reverse causality, we may select Brett Favre or Michael Vick as our quarterbacks, and Randy Moss or Steve Smith as our receivers. If the quarterbacks are considered to be the focal point of space-time and of the universe, and the end zone is considered to be the eternal, non-temporal realm of quantum sum-over histories of all possible universes, we can ask, how can quarterbacks dropping back to pass cause the end zone of the future to exist and vice versa?
That is not a simple question. How can eternity involve the future and cause a quarterback to exist, drop back and throw a deep post pattern pass completion to the receiver in the end zone of the future? Another question we can consider is how can the quarterback cease to exist in the past? That cannot be answered with an easy Eleatic paradox how can the turtle cross to the finish line explanation.
Well we will skip it for now and return to the subject of how the future fits into eternity and how the past fits into eternity and of what order they should rightly be in. How can the future cause the past and reverse our usual ideas of causality?
Obviously we would not be very satisfied with a reversal of causality either in a logical philosophical paradigm, for then it would be as little different perhaps as the matter-anti-matter spin that is meaningful mostly when they recombine and annihilate or consolidate yielding a little extra on the matter side of things. Some might look for a solution to the issue of reverse causality by making a general analogy to the matter-anti-matter symmetry and say that the Universe’s time dimensions are reversible to yet not meaningful, however that isn’t the Hawking-Hertog way of thinking on the subject as Larson mentioned it, so we must let that go for the present.
The atemporal quantum realm of an unknown field pervading the metaphysical substratum of support of the Universe with or without dimensions is said to have no temporal order—and I find that hard to believe for myself. Mustn’t all things, even chaos, have a kind of order, and that order is a de facto direction of time?
Chaotic mass evolves into four fundamental states , experiments have indicated. Obviously there are issues with recursion of quantum mechanical uncertainty, modular phenomena, temporal order and Universe issuances that would make us wonder why the Universe does end up suitable for life—even if there is an all-possible-universes- pre-temporal field of uncertainty ‘above’ or before it in a random, chaotic, quantum realm.
So this chaotic, meaningless, quantum realm of a cloud of uncertainty issues a temporal universe with fuzzy logic like a solar flare or intense gravitational weight in the rubber sheet of space-time. The Universe then proceeds from the distal end of the flare back to the sun and the source of all quantum confusion and chaos.
Thus the explanation of how the quarterback dropping back to pass can use reverse causality-or even be formed by it, to toss the universal football of time into the future end zone while simultaneously be created or first-caused by it is simple and plain. Pseudo Science 0, Science 1. Praise God.

Obama Administration/Democrats Develop Zero Tolerance for Political Dissent
The firing of former Senior Analyst Juan Williams by N.P.R. for expressing his feelings of fear encountering costumed Muslims in airport flying contexts (because of the 9-11 history & universal jihad aspects of that militant religion of conquest too possibly) was cold blooded. Yet the hate speech of the head feminist of N.P.R. explaining that Juan Williams 'should have told a psychiatrist' instead of Fox News what he felt in airports exemplified disregard for freedom of speech and the American Disability Act's fundamental concept of ending bias against insane news media personnel and all others including right wing nuts and environmental wackos.
Degrees of insanity of liberal bias in the neo-Trotskite N.P.R. and other news co-conspirators bring many persons of interest to mind on the subject of pay back for sticking their head out of the goo to express a subjective opinion. Plainly some sort of public points system like that for driving should be established for Internet writing at sights controlled by the corporate world as well at at government agencies so commentators no when they have made too many remarks and are getting enough points to be in danger of suspension. Stalin had his NKVB Chief Beria take dissindents to his office basement and shoot them in the head. It would have been a kinder, gentler evil empire if they had just been given enough points for exile to Siberia.
An essential characteristic of the intolerant liberal state and news media that has taken moral depravity and the replacement of a straw man white America and black apprentice society with anything besides as the ultimate good is direct attack upon individuals for non-conformity to the absolute requirement of the Democratic contra-American elite's rules of march.
Writing here at gather the only direct personal attacks I have ever got occurred when I wrote in dissent to the pervasive homosexual agenda of the Obama administration and Democratc controlled congress the past two years. Writing at Helium as well my 25 dollars per month for life (I was only a couple of months away) and monthly writing fees were killed for using the words homo and faggot in a few articles on the political phenomenon of gaying the miloitary and homosexual pseudo-marriage expropriation of the heterosexual norm.
Making direct personal attacks on writers and commentators for expressing antipathetic political ideas is more of a criminal rather than an intellectual or civil reply. The homosexual and anti-American Democratic Party broadcasters seldom use other means than direct attacks in whatever way they can get away with. It is ironic that the national Democratic Party is more repressive than the conservative branch of ineffective, anti-ecological health bi-partisan U.S. political condition.
Juan Williams was compensated by Fox News with a three million dollar television contract. If the Obama administration would fire it N.P.R.'s inhuman executive it would be a start on making a token semblance of concern for free speech and human emotion. N.P.R. owes Williams an apology.
The corporate Internet hosts and the U.S. Government should develop acompetent recognition of the right of individuals to express personal opiinions about political and social phenomena without reprisal by powerful groups and individuals---that is too close to censorship and state terrorism for our liking. Personal attacks to silence antipathetiic poltiical opinion is a kind of bullying that the administration and the extreme left seem to want to encourgage pervasively as a way to force through their own particular political agenda.
When a writer one day expresses a concept such that 'the public should not have to pay for sex changes offered by the U.S. Military for re-enlistment bonuses for homos' he or she should not lose out on fair writing opportunities at Internet writers sites or be audited by the I.R.S. or fired by N.P.R. in retaliation.

Senior Analyst Juan Williams Binned by N.P.R.
Political correctness has censured free speech once again, and former NPR Senior News Analyst Juan Williams is out on the street looking for a job.
It is easy for me to sympathize with Williams. On December 24th 2009 I was permanently banned from writing at Helium.com for using politically incorrect words occassionally. Reportedly, Mark Suckerberg's half billion subscribers at Facebook will also now be banned from using politically incorrect language in reference to homos.
It is ironic that the biologically correct Juan Williams prototype of half hispanic half negro ran aground on the problem of psychological subjectivism. Williams said that he experienced a bit of fear when flying on airplanes and Muslims in full regalia are aboard. That sort of politically incorrect feeling draws perilously near 'hate thought' that may rear its ugly head in 'hate speech'. It may be borderline paranoia while flying with Muslims with checkered PLO head rags to think of hostage taking, hijacking and crashing in to the White House with 'Allah Akbar' shouted through the intercom.
The next incarnation of an appropriate NPR Senior News analyst may be a homosexual Muslim half-negro, half-hispanic feminist with no sort of subjective psychological activity that might occur to erupt as free speech describing personal opinions.
Perhaps the only place such radical liberals without politically correct good sense can go after being disgraced at NPR is to cable news channels as anchors or co-hosts of Cross-Fire The Reality Show.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130712737&ps=cprs
As a footnote I should mention that Rush Limbaugh reported that George Soros gave NPR a million dollars to pay for 'Enterprise Reporters'. All of my essays are available and of better quality than the usual NPR aloof space-out insider junk. I accept pay pal payments for each article at $10 each for reprints. Additionally my novel 'St. Novilistricka ; Dimensions' is for sale (buy all rights its worth four or five movie screenplays) for one million dollars.

'The Culture of War'
Reading 'The Culture of War' by Martin Van Creeveld I was given a perspective from which to consider the present issue of the U.S. military allowing openly homosexual soldiers to enlist-especially without any existing structure in the military to deal with the problem. It is something of a biological issue perhaps- with women being on the receiving end in sex they may lack understanding of why homosexuals allowed to serve openly with male heterosexuals could create tension. The federal judge ordering the thoughtless dumping of open homosexual enlistment probably never served herself--it is a completely abstract exercise of the privileged that should ingratiate her to party leaders.
http://www.amazon.com/Culture-War-Martin-van-Creveld/dp/0345505409
Sexed soldiers homosexually trysting behind every bush and latrine door might not be a problem for gays now of course, yet down the road some issues could arise. The foremost practical issue to the practical and neo-atheist American Democrat Party culture is that of the bloody, senseless death environment of animals in general war. I tend to believe that the joy of war and killing noted by Van Creeveld may be remote in today's volunteer military, yet that could change in the future when a draft of all Americans for a term of four years is required for financial and defense purposes. There shall be no deferments for being homosexual. Instead, those that do not serve well during their four years of active duty for 100 dollars a month will go to a military prison where they will be shot if troublemakers.
Such extreme scenarios are possible in a volatile, networked, pervasively immoral social environment. We like to reminisce with Creeveld of better times such as the glory days of Prussia and Germany before Napoleon slaughtered the Germans at Jenna.
With ancient victory early in the 18th century Prussian excelled at parade ground evolutions to such an extent that they lost the ability for competent field maneuvers and tactics; becoming a ready herd for the slaughter. Homosexuals on parade grounds today with high pay and benefits may find their choice to force an openly gay service upon otherwise tolerant heterosexual soldiers leading to a future, unpleasant environment of war without the perquisites of the volunteer era.
'The Culture of War' describes how various cultures build and reinforce the warrior mythos. The wild hordes for example are groups and ad hoc nations without significant, competent military background that tend to perpetrate the same kinds of atrocities from the French Jacqueries to all sides in the Balkans conflict of the 1990s. This subject made me think of the U.S. Americal Division formed just for the Vietnam War, with no unit tradition or history, that produced Lt. William Calley and much lack of discipline and esprit. It was disbanded after the end of the Vietnam Conflict.
Creeveld notes innumerable trivial facts of the culture of war that are yet meaningful. I had no idea that for more than 200 years many of the world's modern militaries required soldiers to wear leather neck collars four inches in height that made it impossible for the wearer to have a slouched neck posture-quite uncomfortable I'd think. This morning I saw a sloppy looking national guard recruiter exiting a dirty official vehicle on his way to the office--the first day to recruit openly gay service members. His baggy uniform pant legs were not bloused well and he was over-weight. Most drill sergeants of yore would have made the guy drop and do forty push-ups before yelling about the sloppy appearance. If I had his job I would have worn a Halloween costume.
The culture of war has attire standards that vary from era to era and circumstance. In the Vietnam War era some soldiers, Creeveld writes, wore jewelry and expensive civilian wristwatches into combat to show bravery. Today in Iraq and Afghanistan soldiers reportedly had Baskans and Robbins ice cream in 30 flavors and Starbucks coffee-yet did the military invent a good insulated field coffee cup that can be heated over a propane torch at high altitude?
Creeveld is a well-known military historian with many interesting historical insights on the culture of war. This study isn't a search for the causes of human conflict; it is an examination of the cultural practices and military institutions that create effective and ineffective militaries and warriors. Creeveld notes the well known concept that penetration is a male phenomena sometimes fulfilled with joy in veritably splitting a foe down the middle from top to bottom with a sword, bashing his brains out with a mace or shooting him with a fifty caliber bullet. The joy of war can change in an instant from the 'thrill of victory to the agony of defeat' obviously as the enemy drops the artillery shells accurately upon one's own position.
As a philosopher I tend to view war as economically wasteful and harmful to the environment.

Sexed soldiers homosexually trysting behind every bush and latrine door might not be a problem for gays now of course, yet down the road some issues could arise. The foremost practical issue to the practical and neo-atheist American Democrat Party culture is that of the bloody, senseless death environment of animals in general war. I tend to believe that the joy of war and killing noted by Van Creeveld may be remote in today's volunteer military, yet that could change in the future when a draft of all Americans for a term of four years is required for financial and defense purposes. There shall be no deferments for being homosexual. Instead, those that do not serve well during their four years of active duty for 100 dollars a month will go to a military prison where they will be shot if troublemakers.
Such extreme scenarios are possible in a volatile, networked, pervasively immoral social environment. We like to reminisce with Creeveld of better times such as the glory days of Prussia and Germany before Napoleon slaughtered the Germans at Jenna.
With ancient victory early in the 18th century Prussian excelled at parade ground evolutions to such an extent that they lost the ability for competent field maneuvers and tactics; becoming a ready herd for the slaughter. Homosexuals on parade grounds today with high pay and benefits may find their choice to force an openly gay service upon otherwise tolerant heterosexual soldiers leading to a future, unpleasant environment of war without the perquisites of the volunteer era.
'The Culture of War' describes how various cultures build and reinforce the warrior mythos. The wild hordes for example are groups and ad hoc nations without significant, competent military background that tend to perpetrate the same kinds of atrocities from the French Jacqueries to all sides in the Balkans conflict of the 1990s. This subject made me think of the U.S. Americal Division formed just for the Vietnam War, with no unit tradition or history, that produced Lt. William Calley and much lack of discipline and esprit. It was disbanded after the end of the Vietnam Conflict.
Creeveld notes innumerable trivial facts of the culture of war that are yet meaningful. I had no idea that for more than 200 years many of the world's modern militaries required soldiers to wear leather neck collars four inches in height that made it impossible for the wearer to have a slouched neck posture-quite uncomfortable I'd think. This morning I saw a sloppy looking national guard recruiter exiting a dirty official vehicle on his way to the office--the first day to recruit openly gay service members. His baggy uniform pant legs were not bloused well and he was over-weight. Most drill sergeants of yore would have made the guy drop and do forty push-ups before yelling about the sloppy appearance. If I had his job I would have worn a Halloween costume.
The culture of war has attire standards that vary from era to era and circumstance. In the Vietnam War era some soldiers, Creeveld writes, wore jewelry and expensive civilian wristwatches into combat to show bravery. Today in Iraq and Afghanistan soldiers reportedly had Baskans and Robbins ice cream in 30 flavors and Starbucks coffee-yet did the military invent a good insulated field coffee cup that can be heated over a propane torch at high altitude?
Creeveld is a well-known military historian with many interesting historical insights on the culture of war. This study isn't a search for the causes of human conflict; it is an examination of the cultural practices and military institutions that create effective and ineffective militaries and warriors. Creeveld notes the well known concept that penetration is a male phenomena sometimes fulfilled with joy in veritably splitting a foe down the middle from top to bottom with a sword, bashing his brains out with a mace or shooting him with a fifty caliber bullet. The joy of war can change in an instant from the 'thrill of victory to the agony of defeat' obviously as the enemy drops the artillery shells accurately upon one's own position.
As a philosopher I tend to view war as economically wasteful and harmful to the environment. Yet within the social context of vying social groups it may be fatal or worse-such as slavery or debasement of various kinds-- to disregard the competent cultural execution of preparation for war and then practice armed neutrality. If people are stupid they will prefer bad options existentially and compel incompetent defense.

Christine O'Donnell; No Separation of Church & State in U.S. Constitution
Christine O'Donnell, a candidate from Delaware for the U.S. Senate made one of the most interesting comments on the U.S. Constitution of the past 30 years in a debate with her Democratic Party opponent. She seemed to deny that the constitution has a separation of church and state article in it, and of course she is right.
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20020015-503544.html
In the rampant stampede of secularism following the Scopes trial enthusiasm for removing symbols and acts of religious faith from government institutions became a juggernaut over time. Yet the constitution does not forbid religious expressions, acts or symbols from government auspices, instead it proscribes the establishment of religion and that is a horse of a different color.
The first amendment to the constitution, ratified in 1791 reads;
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
That does not prohibit religion or religious expression; in fact it prohibits the inhibition of religious expression. Instead, the meaning is plain that the government cannot make laws adversely affecting religion or religious expression, and neither may it make any religion an official state religion such as the Cult of June Cleaver, or the worship of Presidents as living neo-deities.
Why did it take the brilliant insight of Christine O’Donnell in the year of Our Lord 2010 to analyze and interpret this literature with competence? Where were prior Supreme Court Justices when reading classes in elementary school were in session with a few notable exceptions)?

Comments on 'Decoding Reality', Information Theory, Reverse Causality & Cosmology
In reading 'Decoding Reality' by Vlatko Vedral-a book largely on information theory and perhaps quantum information theory I find myself making some criticisms on the way. That is usual enough as reconcile, compare and contrast ideas from other sources with those presented by this author from Oxford University with a chair in quantum information theory.
So far I like the book. This isn't a review so much as a critical journal entry as I progress through 'Decoding Reality. It is very easy to dissent with the definition of reality as a probability function between events.
Information theory developed by Shannon, Boole and others quanticize and reduce information to bits or quantum points. Quantification of information volume seems on the surface to miss much of the meaning of information. While a quantified information theory may work well for phone lines and computers it is difficult to reconcile with information as meaning. It is a kind of some of the parts comprising the whole but nothing more approach.
At least it seems that way for now-I haven't made it to the end of the book or even chapter four so far. Yet already it has set to me to wonder about quantum mechanics as a method to describe a universe.
Quantifying physical systems into smaller component parts has a kind of Eleatic paradox element to it; the reason the turtle could cross the several yards to the line was that it could not take infinitely smaller steps. It could take steps in units, for example, of just one inch apiece, and since there are only 12 inches per foot the turtle could not help but cross the five yards in a finite time. Reductionism and quantified particle theory approaches t explain the physical universe and information theory may take an infinitely reductionist course to describing functions and miss out on the larger phases, structures and even meaning of things including information.
Quantum cosmology today of course has numerous theories to use in describing the form of the parts that make things up at the sub-atomic level. Rather than individual particles of irreducible size comprising things, packets of wave-energy that act as mass in complex formations are believed to exist in a temporal actualization from some one inclusive, irreducible field. A quantum information theory that associates and reduces the physical universe to information bits or arbitrary packets of data of a given size would seem to have an excellent probability of being an arbitrary selection of a criteria to model the universe, yet not be a necessary one.
Shannon entropy or information theory has been used in the Hawking radiation theory of black holes and in the estimation of the amount of information that could be stored n the Universe or within a black hole. It is not just an abstract intellectual exercise. It may be a valid method for processing information about a given physical system yet fail to be a comprehensive theory of either meaning or of the nature of the Universe within or without a theistic context.
I shall need to complete reading 'Decoding the Universe' to make a determination if the author's creative thought regarding information theory and quantum cosmology can be philosophically extended beyond the more narrow communications theory context of simply a statistical flow of parts of a physical system such as hydrogen and oxygen molecules joined together in large quantity flowing downhill in a gravitational field as a mountain stream and the association of probability of change from that phenomena anomalously as information or not.Information theory as a criterion in which quantum bits form and change location does not seem to ready lend itself to a variegated criterion in which larger numbers of bits form new relationships. That is something of a paradox though since in lower level programming languages are made of 0's and 1's as machine language then progressively brought up to higher level groupings such as assembler language to higher level languages such as COBOL, Pascal,C+ and html code.Computer languages and information processing may have a simple quantum logic to it, yet real information theory may be a much different and even non-quantifiable phenomena without standard quantifiable bits for reductionist recombination and assembly.
Linguistic theory such as W.V.O. Quine developed and summarized in 'Ontological Relativity' may present different lexicons as ontologies of meaning in themselves without capability of holistic translation into other linguistic ontologies. Computer languages and a quantum information theory would have no such limitations, yet neither does engineering exploiting calculations within a given field of application. One doesn't expect tensor calculations to peel oranges though, and the universal application of any one intellectual technique to account for all possible information seems equally improbable.
The late physicist John Wheeler-a famous and good cosmologist- created an idea of a reverse causality bootstrapping universe that would let the consequent create the antecedent. In quantum mechanics it seems that such a self-creating from nothing Universe might be possible in theory. Atheistic minded physicists seem especially challenged to discover a method of creation whereby something may arise from nothing.it is a paradox that such Theories of quantum genesis seem some of the better theological speculations as well upon the nature of God. If a human being could imagine how God could come into existence, rather than of having always existed as the Bible seems to state, we should need to imagine that God in some way as the first being authored himself into existence and made the eternal past of His Being come into existence as an element of His eternal presence.

Wheeler of course did not intend that his quantum cosmology theory would be used for theological speculations I suppose, yet the abstract philosophical speculations of quantum cosmology and quantum physics inevitably leads to the same sort of eternal contemplations about being and nothingness, eternity and time, the eternal now, monism and pluralism as one finds in philosophy and theology.
How quantum information theory would address the abstract, non-local yet particular questions of the emergent characteristics of systems and meanings such as should occur within any good information theory is hard to speculate about.At least Vlatko Vedral's 'Decoding Reality'-The Universe as Quantum Information' takes a step in the reductionist direction toward explaining some of cosmological mechanics within a quantum information theory context. Information theory reductionism of meaning to bits of information theory seems to remind me a little of a meaningless universe of twittering bird song without mind. The Universe as quantum information my be just one way of viewing the universe as a physical structure changing as a temporal phenomena. It may not be an exclusive and exhaustive way of defining information however, while it may also omit meaning as well as failing to serve as a way to map functions of larger and non-quantum configurations of a monistic energy field in action.

Joe Miller Republican Alaska Campaign for U.S. Senate News/Comments
U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller running against two other solidly financed rivals-Sitka Alaska fisherman Scott McAdams on the Democratic Party plank and second-try Lisa Murkowski for-herself after losing the Republican primary is encountering political turbulence in the last two weeks of the campaign with two controversial phenomena. For one-he is charged with using a computer at lunch while employed by the Fairbanks Alaska North Star Borough government, the second weird event that brought demands by Lisa Murkowski that Miller apologize is more complex.
A blogger with a camera who has written critically of Joe Miller was held by security guards until police arrived at a Miller campaign event. Miller had rented a school and hired a security firm for the event.
Bloggers should be given special consideration over the broadcast media journalists at all political events obviously, yet they should not interfere with candidates by heckling them with importunate questions. Bloggers should be respectful of the candidate’s ‘store front’ and stay within a candidate’s guidelines for marketing. Later, the blogger may chastise the candidate for supporting the existence of the broadcast media and other exclusive, elite tools for propaganda by concentrated wealth if he wants.
Courtesy is requisite in public affairs if individuals are to have a chance to actualize and express political ideas and then for the public to consider those concepts. Cyber bullying and broadcast media abuse can be held as bad examples and public corruption of common sense. It is possible that some bloggers try to emulate the broadcast media practice of invasive trampling of private interests and individualism in public affairs.
On the issue of lunchtime use of a government computer for personal interests it is easy to understand. Americans are somewhat addicted to the Internet especially with all of the brilliant bloggers out there writing of things philosophical and practical in addition to YouTube videos and so forth. Computer and Internet access for all public employees at lunch would save a lot of time spent on trying to get something to eat and find a wireless Internet connection at lunch hour. In Fairbanks even a government lawyer might need to go outside in 40 below zero temperatures, start a cold car, drive a couple miles and park by a snow drift to get a wireless connection maybe with the interior of the car as warm as minus 20. The one must still walk over the icy parking lot, buy a jelly donut and coffee, watch it freeze and get into the slightly warmer car with the engine left running and type a few words with freezing fingers and gloves off. To avoid frostbite the twitting must be brief. Then it time to drive back to work and hope the plastic notebook doesn’t fracture from all of the extreme temperature changes (minus 40 to positive 70 degrees at work).
The political critic of Joe Miller for using a computer in Fairbanks at lunch plainly are not concerned about employee safety. If they were they would agitate for wireless Internet access for all Alaskans at all city, borough, state and federal public office buildings. With ordinary Internet wireless access public employees could use their web-book computer at lunchtime and brown bag it saving money and fuel consumption that causes global warming.

A Basic Theory of Middle Class Housing as a Function of the Concentration of Wealth
A basic theory of the troubles with the U.S. housing market of a non-technical nature might include the large phenomena of networking and the concentration of wealth with the few. Housing sizes became larger and more expensive challenging even the middle class to afford the huge, inefficient vessels.
I thought about this today walking along a nice neighborhood where new homes are going in for just a little more than 220,000 dollars. With interest maybe they would cost 300,000 dollars, I cannot say. They were of a two story boxy appearance without much yard.
As a college graduate and veteran with an honorable discharge, even though the service ended with the end of the cold war and peace instead of a shooting war with high pay, glory and benefits who earns just a little over 4000 dollars a year when I can find houses to paint, I realized that these homes would cost me a couple hundred years to buy if I could pay half of my annual wages on one. If I were to live 1000 years maybe working two hundred years to buy a home would be worthwhile.
These average big box homes are costly even for a middle class family with a 50,000-dollar annual household income. The housing developments are financed by bankers and a global business network able to buy and sell U.S. mortgages. The M.B.A. generation of arranging national business to their liking is paying off and wealth is being conce3ntrated while the middle class struggle, as did the lower working class in former decades before the latter half of the 1970s.
Ideally, advantaged Harvard M.B.A.s and their corporate employers, CEOs and shareholders should be able to exploit the middle class as readily as the working class and poor, and to accomplished that very larger homes, low mileage SUVs and vehicles costing 50,000 dollars should be the norm. The middle class then struggle to pay the price of housing they will lose with even brief periods of unemployment rather easily. Three decades of solid employment required to afford an expensive homes is becoming improbable even for the middle class.
Before the end of the 1960s the average CEO of a corporation earned 300 times more than the lowest paid worker. Today that CEO earns some like 3000 times more and the disparity is increasing. In the 1960s a man could be broke and unemployed, yet if he got an industrial job as were common he might buy a home within a year or two of starting work. Homes were a lot smaller then. With a nail gun I suppose I could make good winter housing with a couple of days work and three hours shopping at the lumber yard--yet one has zoning instead that add 30 years time required to finance a winter home. At least tenting is a way to keep the freezing rain away awhile as an alternative to being a quarter-millionaire and beloved corporate minion of dubious morality.
One must buy most of one's home construction products from the networked corporations. They would not like significant rivals to ordinary housing structures such as well designed stress membraned housing good for 30 years that when removed leave just a simple clearing in a verdant ecosystem that quickly recovers from displacement.
My grandfather bought a home in Eastern Washington in the 60s for just 4000 dollars, and raised quite a wonderful lot of vegetables in his garden. Today if unemployed and broke in middle age one has very dismal prospects for owning a home because they are just too large, and gardens may be zoned for illegality especially on front lawns. In Houston's suburbs even planting a pear tree might be considered radical although some have banana plants or plantains by their pools that live until the rare solid freeze.
The high costs of American homes may be a logical desire by the wealthy to maximize profits and make the middle class drudges to their borrowed 'castles'. Those M.B.A.s need to be put to work concentrating and organizing all that potential wealth out there after all, yet the collateral damages to the U.S. economy of forcing too large of homes and inefficient cars on America are substantial.
The middle class fails to build up substantial capital savings in the too large of home and car environment. They send hundreds of billions of dollars abroad annually to import fuel. The middle class in upgrading the Death of as Salesman lifestyle that has become totalized from polluted sea to polluted sea may be co9ntent to just save some money for retirement. The concept of capital for business investment falls commonly by the wayside.
If necessity is the mother of invention, the middle class paradoxically has no necessity and invents little. It may be comfortable in its wage slavery living within a deterministic economic environment. The middle class may be happy to live in a half million dollar home, have three cars, large screen high resolution televisions, watch the Seahawks be trounced by the Giants on television, and die without any savings. If the middle class invented anything the ubiquitous global corporations would soak it up anyway and the concentrated wealth flummery would reap new profit or sequester the invention if it was a rival to existing products.
How to create a new envi9rnment of inventiveness in the United States is not simply a matter of creating a better education system for the actual economic structure outflanks and repress intellectual virility. Inventions today increasingly are an evolution of existing corporate, pharmaceutical, chemical and biological product interests. The intense interest in biology for human health and life extension drives a desire to patent every kind of real and synthetic genome. Human interest in conserving living species and biodiversity pales in comparison as a global human-caused mass extinction is in progress that may undermine the ecosystem supporting all human life on earth. Neither do humans have an interest in developing moon facilities to build real space ships in lunar orbit from materials fabricated on the moon.
I should write something more about that; true space ships would use the entire ship’s hull for an engine interacting with various fields and particle-waves and potentials existing in space rather than with an Earth boating concept of an engine like an outboard fit on the back of a boat that propels it forward through the water…even the U.S.S. Enterprise had a dilithium crystal outboard/inboard motor kind of concept. A hull spaceship with field-drive would be too large and expensive to launch through the Earth atmosphere obviously. Until the moon is developed as a space-ship base and all extra-terrestrial bodies than can be inhabited have a population of 1000 people for research and self-sustaining terra-forming micro-environments sustaining life humanity will not be really serious about survival in this somewhat benevolent yet simultaneously dangerous portion of the galaxy. Disaster can occur very swiftly.
The U.S. middle class in its increasing position of luxury wage slavery exists simultaneously with a global economy that the Wall Street and Harvard M.B.A. network as used to maximize profits as well. The middle class and poor have a decreasing capacity to control their own economic destiny or to develop businesses that compete with existing capitalized networked corporate infrastructure. The notion that the interests of the wealthiest drive the most efficient form of capitalism or economic a democracy might create is absurd. The economic interests of all the people are a part of a complete economic tree in the modern world in which none may simple exist apart and alone as an island unto himself along with his family.
The modern economy of the United States could be compared to a plant or hedge with those at the top drawing their profit from those producing at the roots from the environment. The Harvard M.B.A. concentration of wealth at the top has increased the extraction of resources from nature that the roots process and moved it up bypassing the economic nourishment of the roots and middle class of the hedge. The logical outcome of killing the roots and middle of the plant in order to expedite concentration of wealth at the top is the death of the planet.
The economy is not so simple as that however. Inventions that are increasingly fractional advances of technological systems such as in biomedicine do not produce complete products. Complete product inventions like a light bulb or a telephone historically tend to be created by individuals creating something that works for-itself. With a closer relationship to nature and necessity inventors such as a Henry Ford might invent an entire assembly line process while today the middle class in their wage slavery without capital to invest in there own inventions much less defend a patent if interested in inventing something rather than investing their capital in the advantaged corporate networks that reinforces the doom of the middle class and poor produce fractional appendages to the corporate beast of controls servo-unit mechanism.
If smaller homes were ordinarily built in the United States people would have an option of economy. Perhaps high quality stressed membrane buildings with special insulating foam in anchorage Alaska suitable for low temperatures, earthquake survival and even quick spare library construction the middleclass would have the option of just spending 50,000 on a home instead of 300,000 dollars and save the rest for investment in inventions and business concepts of their own. Without capital to risk it is very difficult to get anything built. Guaranteed investment would attract too many investors and the cost of investing would rise offsetting profits. The difference between gambling and risky investments fundamentally lies within the intellectual skill set of the individual—his or her intellectual capital, instead of in an extrinsic material, social investment opportunity with assured return such as U.S. Government Bonds before an era of quantitative easing (Fed ex-lax of debt dumping upon others).
Many Americans have expressed an interest in buying lower cost, more efficient homes—and why not? A good ecofriendly yard and simple modular domes can create an efficient living space with –privacy and utility. Where is the profit in that for the bankers and developers seeking to extract maximum profits from the roots and middle class though?
The concept that the concentration of wealth will create the most efficient society politically, socially or ecologically is absurd. Unfortunately the paradoxes of the prisoners and diner’s dilemma wherein those that defect to procure their own self-interest rather than being gentlemanly and seeking on a team basis to bring about increased public good tends to drives the political and economic ad hoc collectives that make the economic decisions of national importance in Washington D.C. and Boston. The future of the United States does not seem especially excellent today as the Democratic Party is little more than lip service token opposition to the concentration of wealth—even Michelle Obama had a quarter million dollar a year health industry administrator job in Chicago before becoming the first lady. What were the chances that the President would have supported a plain free public health service for the poor that was staffed by public doctors and joined with the V.A. instead of requiring that all Americans buy health insurance from the wealthy global corporations fo0r home his wife worked? Probably none. The democrats in office has basically been the gay team cheerleaders of the corporate work environment seeking to make the military become soldiers of sin in order to better serve the bent upper classes of society.
I thought about this today walking along a nice neighborhood where new homes are going in for just a little more than 220,000 dollars. With interest maybe they would cost 300,000 dollars, I cannot say. They were of a two story boxy appearance without much yard.
As a college graduate and veteran with an honorable discharge, even though the service ended with the end of the cold war and peace instead of a shooting war with high pay, glory and benefits who earns just a little over 4000 dollars a year when I can find houses to paint, I realized that these homes would cost me a couple hundred years to buy if I could pay half of my annual wages on one. If I were to live 1000 years maybe working two hundred years to buy a home would be worthwhile.
These average big box homes are costly even for a middle class family with a 50,000-dollar annual household income. The housing developments are financed by bankers and a global business network able to buy and sell U.S. mortgages. The M.B.A. generation of arranging national business to their liking is paying off and wealth is being conce3ntrated while the middle class struggle, as did the lower working class in former decades before the latter half of the 1970s.
Ideally, advantaged Harvard M.B.A.s and their corporate employers, CEOs and shareholders should be able to exploit the middle class as readily as the working class and poor, and to accomplished that very larger homes, low mileage SUVs and vehicles costing 50,000 dollars should be the norm. The middle class then struggle to pay the price of housing they will lose with even brief periods of unemployment rather easily. Three decades of solid employment required to afford an expensive homes is becoming improbable even for the middle class.
Before the end of the 1960s the average CEO of a corporation earned 300 times more than the lowest paid worker. Today that CEO earns some like 3000 times more and the disparity is increasing. In the 1960s a man could be broke and unemployed, yet if he got an industrial job as were common he might buy a home within a year or two of starting work. Homes were a lot smaller then. With a nail gun I suppose I could make good winter housing with a couple of days work and three hours shopping at the lumber yard--yet one has zoning instead that add 30 years time required to finance a winter home. At least tenting is a way to keep the freezing rain away awhile as an alternative to being a quarter-millionaire and beloved corporate minion of dubious morality.
One must buy most of one's home construction products from the networked corporations. They would not like significant rivals to ordinary housing structures such as well designed stress membraned housing good for 30 years that when removed leave just a simple clearing in a verdant ecosystem that quickly recovers from displacement.
My grandfather bought a home in Eastern Washington in the 60s for just 4000 dollars, and raised quite a wonderful lot of vegetables in his garden. Today if unemployed and broke in middle age one has very dismal prospects for owning a home because they are just too large, and gardens may be zoned for illegality especially on front lawns. In Houston's suburbs even planting a pear tree might be considered radical although some have banana plants or plantains by their pools that live until the rare solid freeze.
The high costs of American homes may be a logical desire by the wealthy to maximize profits and make the middle class drudges to their borrowed 'castles'. Those M.B.A.s need to be put to work concentrating and organizing all that potential wealth out there after all, yet the collateral damages to the U.S. economy of forcing too large of homes and inefficient cars on America are substantial.
The middle class fails to build up substantial capital savings in the too large of home and car environment. They send hundreds of billions of dollars abroad annually to import fuel. The middle class in upgrading the Death of as Salesman lifestyle that has become totalized from polluted sea to polluted sea may be co9ntent to just save some money for retirement. The concept of capital for business investment falls commonly by the wayside.
If necessity is the mother of invention, the middle class paradoxically has no necessity and invents little. It may be comfortable in its wage slavery living within a deterministic economic environment. The middle class may be happy to live in a half million dollar home, have three cars, large screen high resolution televisions, watch the Seahawks be trounced by the Giants on television, and die without any savings. If the middle class invented anything the ubiquitous global corporations would soak it up anyway and the concentrated wealth flummery would reap new profit or sequester the invention if it was a rival to existing products.
How to create a new envi9rnment of inventiveness in the United States is not simply a matter of creating a better education system for the actual economic structure outflanks and repress intellectual virility. Inventions today increasingly are an evolution of existing corporate, pharmaceutical, chemical and biological product interests. The intense interest in biology for human health and life extension drives a desire to patent every kind of real and synthetic genome. Human interest in conserving living species and biodiversity pales in comparison as a global human-caused mass extinction is in progress that may undermine the ecosystem supporting all human life on earth. Neither do humans have an interest in developing moon facilities to build real space ships in lunar orbit from materials fabricated on the moon.
I should write something more about that; true space ships would use the entire ship’s hull for an engine interacting with various fields and particle-waves and potentials existing in space rather than with an Earth boating concept of an engine like an outboard fit on the back of a boat that propels it forward through the water…even the U.S.S. Enterprise had a dilithium crystal outboard/inboard motor kind of concept. A hull spaceship with field-drive would be too large and expensive to launch through the Earth atmosphere obviously. Until the moon is developed as a space-ship base and all extra-terrestrial bodies than can be inhabited have a population of 1000 people for research and self-sustaining terra-forming micro-environments sustaining life humanity will not be really serious about survival in this somewhat benevolent yet simultaneously dangerous portion of the galaxy. Disaster can occur very swiftly.
The U.S. middle class in its increasing position of luxury wage slavery exists simultaneously with a global economy that the Wall Street and Harvard M.B.A. network as used to maximize profits as well. The middle class and poor have a decreasing capacity to control their own economic destiny or to develop businesses that compete with existing capitalized networked corporate infrastructure. The notion that the interests of the wealthiest drive the most efficient form of capitalism or economic a democracy might create is absurd. The economic interests of all the people are a part of a complete economic tree in the modern world in which none may simple exist apart and alone as an island unto himself along with his family.
The modern economy of the United States could be compared to a plant or hedge with those at the top drawing their profit from those producing at the roots from the environment. The Harvard M.B.A. concentration of wealth at the top has increased the extraction of resources from nature that the roots process and moved it up bypassing the economic nourishment of the roots and middle class of the hedge. The logical outcome of killing the roots and middle of the plant in order to expedite concentration of wealth at the top is the death of the planet.
The economy is not so simple as that however. Inventions that are increasingly fractional advances of technological systems such as in biomedicine do not produce complete products. Complete product inventions like a light bulb or a telephone historically tend to be created by individuals creating something that works for-itself. With a closer relationship to nature and necessity inventors such as a Henry Ford might invent an entire assembly line process while today the middle class in their wage slavery without capital to invest in there own inventions much less defend a patent if interested in inventing something rather than investing their capital in the advantaged corporate networks that reinforces the doom of the middle class and poor produce fractional appendages to the corporate beast of controls servo-unit mechanism.
If smaller homes were ordinarily built in the United States people would have an option of economy. Perhaps high quality stressed membrane buildings with special insulating foam in anchorage Alaska suitable for low temperatures, earthquake survival and even quick spare library construction the middleclass would have the option of just spending 50,000 on a home instead of 300,000 dollars and save the rest for investment in inventions and business concepts of their own. Without capital to risk it is very difficult to get anything built. Guaranteed investment would attract too many investors and the cost of investing would rise offsetting profits. The difference between gambling and risky investments fundamentally lies within the intellectual skill set of the individual—his or her intellectual capital, instead of in an extrinsic material, social investment opportunity with assured return such as U.S. Government Bonds before an era of quantitative easing (Fed ex-lax of debt dumping upon others).
