Fox News Tech Report on '100 Year Starship'

America's personed space program is in a solipsistic yin entanglement not getting anywhere solid such as the moon or Mars. Fox News has a story on the secret D.A.R.P.A.-N.A.S.A. program to send and maroon astronauts on a 100 year mission to Mars--also known as the 'fire and forget strategy'.

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/10/29/nasa-cover-up-hundred-year-starship/print

The wright way to go about solar system colonization would be to create an ecological economic low entropy economy in the U.S.A. for a good example to other nations, build a moon research colony and electromagnetic mass driver for launching things from the moon, send a fleet off automatic spaceship cycling between Earth and Mars (as Buzz Aldrin suggested), and keep fabbing things on the moon to launch at low cost to mars for automatic caching of materials to work with.

Martian colonization would be a research base rather than a political entity like a colony, and zero population growth on Earth and elsewhere should keep the entire solar system population to just 9 billion intelligent, well educated and high tech, spiritual souls that respect liberty. The moon needs only a few thousand to build machines and super-conducting electrical facilities around the lunar surface, and mars should just be a terraforming project above and below ground with people working on that a long time. Humanity needs to learn to become ecotopia engineers occupationally as much as being warriors, blowing things up and waging economic war with senseless abandon.

Social Determinism Because of The Intellectual Laziness of the Wealthy and Middle Class

Reading further in Van Creeveld's 'The Culture of War' I have found interesting concepts about the sociology of societies and their war cultures in regard to 'men without chests' and feminism. These are concepts that fit rather well with Toybean analysis of the evolution of societies and civilizations through various stages. It is not a subject that provides much optimism as humanity moves through deterministic social configurations and relationships rather like the seasonal leaves upon trees.

The economic aspects of war were not especially a subject of Van Creeveld's cultural research. I regard the evolution of contemporary economics from the classical foundation as something like that of the evolution of the culture of war as it attacks natural resources, consumes and depletes them looking abroad for more to input. The culture of war is largely a gender motivated phenomenon, and in its collapse such that no culture of war functions effectively the social environment is overrun by those that do.

The challenges to whatever elements of society are interested in creating a stable, zero-population growth with full employment and high quality of life lay within very a deep social complex of gender relationships, greed, generational hubris and ignorance and economic reasoning of no more sophistication than that of war and the joy of making a killing while survivingng the direct threat to one's own existence.

The United States could have just sealed the Mexican border to illegal immigration and help reconstruct Mexico simultaneously in order that they should ave no reason to send migrants north to the drug addled land of '4-Loco' where they can take over gradually from those with a weak grip on nationhood. The greed of globalists and resistance to ecological economics will in time collapse the United States into a warpath interregnum zone of contention perhaps suitable to a cultre of war in recovery from an era of 'men without chests' and feminism that has transformed the wine into vinegar. Cheap labor and fecundity to expand dumb economic growth of resource consumption is the devil in the details retarding intelligent economic redesign.

The plain biological facts of sociological existence does not confer person-hood upon soldiers or civilians as abstract units of pure equality, and neither does it provide a benificient and wise government,corporate leadership or hierarchical priesthood fundamentally interested in more than their own narrow economic self-interest. In order to create a strongly renewable, high-quality social environment with social equality for all citizens the solutions to the many political challenges would require that all understand the objective environmental facts of being and seek the well being of thy brother and sister as well as thyself. The Lord Jesus could accomplish such a mission, one has little reason to expect much from the animals of economics and war that flourish in the prosperous societies as well as the poor.

Gender aspects of biological alteration have even speculated on removing and freezing ovaries in young women for re-implantation later so they are are more fertile in older age after piling up money and career power. Reading 'The Culture of War' by Van Creeveld a chapter on feminism and the biological gender facts about war and population relates several facts such as why men are comparatively disposable and women so highly valued. An ovary freezing program could change that enabling women after freezing ovaries to be disposable warriors too. Van Creeveld noted that women have thinner skulls, less bone mass, less muscle and body size and are otherwise unsuitable compared to men for being clubbed and beaten in combat. Maybe Dr. Frankenstein could give steroids and genetic re-engineering to enhance female workforce survivability outside the financial and government services sectors.

Seriously though, I am skeptical about the political value of deferring reproduction through artificial means while importing illegal aliens to provide population increase. I think it is a sophistication that is disingenuous, although maybe freezing embryos could be an option to abortion as technology advances.

I will not make any jokes about freezing balls off in Alaska.

It is not enough to just mean well, posture toward pacifism or select paper instead of plastic in order to change society and enhance the prospects for species diversity and survival of pollution. To design an intelligent society in which all of humanity may dwell safely and prosperously for a time the real social dynamics of change biologically should be understood well enough to moderate the flow and direct it politically to an advantageous position. That is an extremely challenging venture most would be defeatists on if they even though about the challenges critically.

Some Reasons Why Globalism May Be Evil to National Interests

Globalization as a political phenomenon, wrote the historian Arnold Toynbee, is a universal phase of a civilization-it is the nova of a star at the end of its cycle of history. A wise national leadership would not over-extend its border security rationality, its economic resources and need for more consumption and power without much personal labor and just go global.

There are innumerable ways to view environmental and existential political expansion and absorption of smaller nations into larger glomming powers and principalities. Many of those are dystopian paradigms.

Ghengis Khan was a globalist as was Adolph Hitler, Imperialist powers of a global nature from Ancient Rome to the Assyrians and the British Empire would stop when they were stopped. That phenomenon exists with Wall-Street global financial powers as well. Sometimes imperialistic they have eliminated the protections of Glass-Steagle and made home mortgages tradable commodities for global rulers.

Concentrating wealth has a small worlds networks criteria of advantage of preferred locations enabling everyone to drop their dime in the Wall Street outlets instead of their won business or that of a neighbor. Globalists may unite with the state and become a corporatist entity such as Mussolini designed not much different from a global socialist totalitarian rein of repression of individualism. Certainly America will not retreat from modern global communications, yet neigther should it retreat from a stalwart nationalism conserving the proprietary interests of the citizens that already are Americans.

One need not be frightened of globalism and its political spin each day as megalomaniacs seek to buy up everything and put on the imperial purple or download human freedom into a totalitarian box with diminishing over-used natural resources as drone workers.

History has many lessons for Americans, yet the practical freedom and liberty of individuals in relation to government powers meant to serve rather than oppress is fundamental.

Charybdis & Scylla-The 2010 Election Choice for More Public Debt

The logic is somewhat mysterious to me. The President plans to add a trillion dollars of debt each year if he is reelected in 2012 from the present. That would make a total public debt of 20 trillion dollars. Why does such economic planning appeal to youth?

Eventually those trillions add up to become real money. If deflation were to occur for some reason that could seem like a zillion dollar debt (isn't that the next level up from trillion?).

Us classical liberals of the George Washington-Thomas Jefferson ilk got off the Democratic fag-n-feminism bandwagon some time ago, and jetisoned the usurpation of liberalism by socialism long before from the conestoga of progress. Well, that leaves what, Republicans to vote from?

Globalism versus perversion and socialism, Cherybdis and Scyllla--these are the American political parties against environmental reason, national security, full employment and no public debt for all Americans. While God is alive, politics is dead except for the corporate carrion buzzards picking over the garbage of classical economics.

Post-Modern Philosopher of Pragmatism (Deflated) Obama/On Prof. Kloppenberg's Book

The New York Times has helpfully provided us an insight into the mind of the President, or at least his intellectual history as perceived by a Harvard historian Mr. James T. Kloppenberg. Professor Kloppenberg has invested a substantial amount of time in discovery of the philosophical influence that shaped the Mr. Obama's personal philosophical outlook although one might cringe at the idea of an historian extracting philosophical influences from the Jakarta to Cambridge via Hawaii history of the President. Kloppenberg believes Obama is a deflated philosopher of pragmatism.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/28/books/28klopp.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

It is helpful to know that rare academic speculative intellectuals such as Max Weber and Fredrich Neitzsche shaped the ideas of the President as well as Chicago anarchists and Weather Underground bombers. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Charles Sanders Peirce (pronounced 'purse'), William James and the post modernist philosophical pragmatist linguistic wise-guy John Dewey are mentioned in the review of Kloppenberg's speech at The City University of New York's Graduate Center as influences in the intellectual portrait of the President as a young man.

We are not convinced that there is much intellectual content in the list of individuals cited as providing philosophical manure relevant for management of national interests today. The growth of the Presidential critical theory of pragmatic post-modernist anomie, chaos and detachment from historical insight for philosophical purposes appears a limited philosophical selection . If the President did not read Wolfe's Radical Chic and Mau Mauing the Flak Catchers perhaps he read the works of Joseph Kenyatta and a life of Muhammad as well as the transcendentalists. Maybe he never watched television.

A simple Quinian post-modernist presentation of ontological relativity and philosophy of logic would suffice to persuade us that a President has a competence in language and logic, yet knowledge of human history and of real interests may not be as readily compressed to a theoretical formula and reduced to meaningless political subjectivity. That sort of pragmatism creates an ineffective bureaucratic net loss budgeting deleterious to the environment, sovereignty, social welfare and security lacking in reformative vigor.

Eleventh Death of Homeless Person from Cold Weather of 2010 In Anchorage

The first person of the 2010-11 cold weather season, and 11th death of 2010 occurred in Anchorage a couple of nights ago. Alice Stewart passed away sleeping outside in a field off a busy street in Anchorage.

In the afternoons the temperature has tended to be a warm 40 degrees recently, while overnight the temperature may drop to the low 30's and even the 20's. If using alcohol it is easy not to awaken from the dangerous cold.

While one may cite individual problems for the exposure to cold weather death or injury, it is true that if the victims had their own housing they would have been unlikely to place themselves in a dangerous outdoor circumstance.

When I read of these matters I cannot help consider how the entire U.S. housing and economic structure isn't very well designed for sustainability or access to quality low cost housing. Neither would many homeless individuals have access to affordable transportation when necessary to travel the miles across the dangerously cold city of Anchorage to a free emergency weather shelter.

Concentrating the homeless is an especially bad idea because it dramatically increases the intra-social negative elements and exposure to crime, drugs and alcohol. In some alternative reality there may be an intelligent and efficient society concerned with including rather than excluding as well as defending individual human rights from government and social predators.

Will Lisa Murkowski Emasculate The Alaska Republican Party Nov. 2nd?

Lisa Murkowski formerly a Republican of Alaska is poised to snip the political effectiveness of the Alaska Republican Party in the bud at least for a while if she can accomplish an orchiotomy upon its ability to get a the legitimate Republican candidate-Joe Miller, elected.

Murkowski according to polls is drawing female voters away from both major parties to join her neo-independent campaign for the U.S. Senate. A Republican formerly since being appointed to the U.S. Senate by her father the Governor of Alaska former U.S.Senator Frank Murkowski, Lisa switched allegiance and became a rogue elephant following her loss in the Republican primary election to bronze star winner and Economics M.A. from the University of Alaska holder Joe Miller, Esq.(Yale Law School).

With a network of heavily financed special interests campaign contributors on her side, Lisa had little to lose and much to gain in running a rogue political campaign. The Democratic candidate-a fisherman and part-time mayor from Sitka Alaska is drawing just 25% of the vote in polls as his Democratic women have defected to the Murkowski camp. Patty Murray, a former Independent turned Democratic Party Senator from the state of Washington is another gender first candidate who recently received support from Secretary of State and Perennial Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

These are interesting times. While fewer Republican women are defecting to the Murkowski campaign so far, we must wait until next week to discover if the new Independent Gender Ad Hoc Party has cut the balls off of the Republican Party machine-even if it has a candidate endorsed by the Tea Party who is for cutting the cost of government himself. Alto may become the new singing voice of Alaskan Republicans for a while.

Iran, Nuclear Bombs for Peace and 'The Culture of War'/Conventional, Guerrilla/Terrorism

In reading Van Creeveld’s excellent book ‘The Culture of War’ I found several chapters with ideas reviewing not only news events/reports of the last few decades of international conflicts but sociological analysis of the human culture of war and how it affects societies fundamentally. This book isn’t really written with a mind toward political correctness today, instead one discovers a fairly objective analysis of human character and social structures that consistently reveal humanity as addicted to war as an implicit aspect of culture.

So in considering this wonderful investigation of human historical methods and structures of war and why pacifism is so little effective I necessarily considered numerous current events and situations. Van Creeveld has written a few chapters on the subject for the prospects for peace around the global and provided the well-known observation that nuclear weapons developments were largely accountable for the end of war between substantial, established nations since 1945.

Van Creeveld reviews the history of wars since 1945 and of the way nations that are developed have fundamentally given up wars amongst themselves as unthinkable and persuasively provided an observation that guerrilla wars and terrorist movements have not been so constricted by possession of nuclear weapons and threats of mutually assured destruction as to give up war themselves. While the developed nations have sometimes deluded themselves into believing the new democratic party millennium of godless atheist perverse utopia is around the bend and bullying, hate crimes of college students with sheep in their dorms, meth labs on every floor and 4-loco extra in fully stickled refrigerators as natural rights will be stopped soon through anisotropic legal rights amidst social behavorialism based medical expert politico guidance, the undeveloped world has learned that war through terrorism and guerrilla fighting against the first world is getting easier.

While Iran may wish to develop nuclear bombs as a way to assure that the United States or other established states will not invade, it can do little to prevent the kind of anarchic terror that the United States has helped support in Afghanistan since the foundation of Pakistan and subversion of the Iranian government reestablishing the Pahlavi Dynasty.

Iran may wish to join the ranks of nations with nuclear weapons for whom invasion is unthinkable because of the prospects of nuclear war. While Iran cannot launch missiles upon the United States today from Teheran, it could build a cruise missile with a jet engine in a garage (as Van Creeveld pointed out), yet that would not be their essential deterrent--instead that would be Israel...attack Iran and Iran can vaporize Israel. Van Creeveld pointed out that Egypt did not develop nuclear weapons for that very reason--in order that they might keep their options for a conventional war open against the Israelis who would feel no need to vaporize Cairo in reply.

American elites may believe that a world without borders is just ahead, yet a world without borders is a world of lawless guerrilla and terrorist groups that have become the prevailing method of human war activity today. Unless the deterrent of assured nuclear death forces peace to exist, human being inevitably find some method to bring about war. It is through an evolved and effective balance of social powers that anisotropic destruction of the interests of others through war or other lesser means can be reduced.

It is ironic that the neo-liberal Democratic Party elites have forced the invasion of illegal aliens pervasively into the United States that in the long run destabilizes the acquisition of capital by the poor and working class in the U.S.A. while simultaneously reinforcing and external proletariat for the prosecution of future wars of guerrilla and terrorist methodologies upon a soft, more prosperous and preponderantly -white neo-Christian establishment. When the security of national borders has been eliminated then the intifaddah of protracted terrorist conflict may ensue.

The Obama administration just two days ago announced that the electronic high tech fence set by Congress for Construction along the U.S. Mexico border would not be built. That the decision to scuttle the congressional bill from the Bush II years occurs just before an election in order to bring in Latino votes does not go unnoticed.

U.S. policy in many ways is simply of a short-term nature with both major parties being completely out of touch with the longer-range interests of the nation including the environment.

The prospects for peace generally are interesting today. U.S. and first world interests that exploit third world resources in order to continue a high entropy economic growth often support the kind of second and third world policies that support terrorist developments.

Most of the traditional societies of the undeveloped world had warrior occupations for most males that end when colonial authorities arrive. When the colonial authorities are overthrown more anarchic gangs without a culture of war follow to perpetrate atrocities. Van Creeveld points out several facts too obvious to miss besides.

The interest of American women in establishing women's equality in Afghanistan would require as much policing as exists in the U.S.A. so women could safely walk down the street and not be 'fair game'. Poor countries cannot afford that kind of law enforcement and instead men protect the women personally and do not want them to present temptation to the predators-that is a conservative society. Others have pointed out that in several rural Muslim societies where tribal peace exists women may go without covering their heads in black bags for security.

The United States business leaders also stimulate the rise of terrorism and guerrilla war in developing countries through reinforcement of corrupt political leadership that will cooperate with resource extraction for profit leaving environmental mess and thug rule in the wake. I am not much of an optimist on the long-range success of foreign or domestic policies of the United States on economics. None are at all close on real political needs, and none have the capacity or competence to reform and limit the power of concentration of wealth in corporation, networks or individuals. It should be an exciting balance of the century ahead.

Humming Birds and Ecocide in Corporatist-Socialist Axes of Economic Evolution

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.
