Screen and Track NFL Player Careers for Brain Damage?

Autopsies on select NFL veterans have shown brain damage 50% as substantial as autopsies of Alzheimers victims. Because the NFL is as real as the progression of early Alzheimers to terminal Alzheimers and the time frame is roughly the same it might be yak good idea to medically chart a brain damage historical record of each NFL player with Magnetic Resonance imaging before they get their first head butt or body slam onto the astroturf over concrete until their last concussion in order to record the wreckage of the human brain.

Some of those NFL vets run for political office and become elected with brains perhaps a little damaged over much relying upon impulse power instead of I.Q. in political policy. Wimps would want to move away from fossil fuel vehicles and move into syntegrated high-tech low-entropy modes of transportation layered within rational national ecospheric economic reform.

Perhaps brain damaged NFL vets are smarter than the Congress these decades, and maybe Congresspersons too should be screened to determine if the 5000th three martini lunch as dampened their determination to technologically advance the nation's infrastructure within a human-healthy criterion.

Voters Affirm Gov. Walker/Overcoming the Chaos of Evolutionary Capitalism

With a convincing victory Governor Walker of Wisconsin has shown the way toward rolling back the swollen union hegemony over the establishment of democracy that inevitably leans toward latent imperialism foreign or domestic.

Imperialism in elitist social organizations from government unions to trans-national corporations works to devastate the egalitarian economic structures fabricated through the toil of democracy.

Independent economic liberty is dwarfed as inventions to are co-opted by corporate power and concentrated wealth, litigation and impractical opportunities for production. The future of the United States must be in an egalitarian nationalism without too much difference in economic reality between rich and poor.

Today the national social environment is intimidated by group-think and a false Darwinian capitalism that denies the validity of philosophical, thoughtful design for reforming capitalism in order that it serves democracy. Evolutionary capitalism relies upon accidental forces for non-existent intelligence to select economic structure and political form. Evolutionary capitalism is a pure secular materialism closer to Marxist dialectical evolution sideways and in all direction-a conflicting ocean of irrational waves creating economic chaos. The believers in that evolutionary ignorance without democratic reason policy believe that no intelligent design for democratic governance or an independent business environment subordinate to the real service of the citizens of the United States ought to exist. 

Hopefully Mitt Romney can turn the runaway economic existentialism back toward a nationalist direction where the energy of American can be collected and move toward reaching a critical mass for the generation of prosperity instead of decay and destruction.

The Atheist Fall before Monism and Monadology

I've written and read on the Internet more than a little, and commonly atheists a priori deny (categorically) any paradigm with Spirit or God in it as valid. In writing about monads and fundamental monism it is reasonable to consider spirit.

Monism with spirit at its heart tends to be arbitrarily opposed by atheists. The argument is given sometimes that spirit cannot be observed and therefor cannot exist, and one returns to that paradigm of needing to prove that something is materially observable or capable of being inferred from matter in order to potentially exist. That in despite the question being about what mass-energy-substance is in-itself.

I think that Leibniz might have named monads from the idea of monism. They were postulated to be one-dimensional or two-dimensional spiritual phenomenalities I seem to recall. With just a tiny potential for reason they could be assembled into the plurality of forms that make up the 'physical' universe. One virtually needs a theological background to contemplate philosophically how God who is pure spirit could create little 'bits' , monads, strings or whatever without quantifying His substance in some kind of structure with dimensions, yet of course Plotinus believed that God (he called God 'The One') had no need of physical dimensions or scale as might a Universe.

One can consider a quantum cosmology of course, yet regarding the nature of spirit donating form through possible monads it is difficult to say. Believers might regard God as capable of all kinds of things beyond the capacity or limits of either human minds or quantum structures that contain or channel energy (whatever it is for-itself in basic quantum denoument).

It is a paradox that the reasonable ideas of Leibniz on a philosophy of monads would be too often considered silly or heretical today by 'modern' 'enlightened' atheist 'philosopher' that have signed off simply on the materialism of Darwin and the meaninglessness of Dewey. Certainly physicists must search for proximal quantitative relationships for mass, energy and space, yet philosophers should be free to consider cosmology generally from a number of perspectives, forming of course opinions and making logical investigations where it seems worthwhile.

Leibniz actually invented mathematical logic and never published it. He tossed it in a drawer and his work was discovered long after his death. The philosophy of logic is a phenomenal construct itself, and even atheists ought not give up contemplation of paradigms of creation by the Spirit of the phenomenon of mass and energy. Perhaps logically they must yield that point as unbelievers-I haven't thought about that too much being of faith myself.

Feminized Wisconsin Unionism vs Gov. Walker

Feminized government and education unions that failed to adjust to the post cold war economy led a recall drive of tough Wisconsin Governor Walker that reaches a vote today. The analysis of contemporary political and economic events was always vital for the prospects of democracy and the present rump unionism leftover from the 70s economy that became a bubble of feminine economic expansion and upward mobility while the white male portion of the economy was in decline or stagnation-along with the workers in the private sector eventually. The Democratic Party became detached from economic reality following the end of the cold war and the Clinton era.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303918204577448313090640398.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

The Unionism of the early 20th century was a hard fought heads busted and mortal injury fight against concentrated wealth to improve the lives of the poor workers. By the end of the cold war when the end of communism in China, Russia and Eastern Europe created vast new pools of labor in competition with U.S. workers, and when factories began to relocate production abroad in order to increase profits exporting product to the U.S.A. from cheap production cost nations, Unionism in the private sector was in steep decline. Feminized government unionism increased its wealth and power becoming old girls clubs in education and government adversely and unrealistically influencing U.S. political development.

A Democratic Party dominated by elites and insular, prosperous unions concerned with expanding its bubble is not cognizant of the interests of the nation's poor and middle class interests. Feminized unionism has supported the dissolution of the traditional family, taught atheistic, immoral social values to youth, and continued to believe that they are agitating against white male concentrations of wealth in 1950s style economic circumstance. That economic structure fled abroad after the end of the cold war.

Feminized Wisconsin unions seek to recall Gov. Walker and halt slippage of union economic leverage downward toward the standard of living of other Americans. it isn't likely that the 70s era feminine union economic bubble through government was ever cognizant that the comparatively remote northern regional economy when fully integrated with the southern states migratory citizenship would drive down the anisotropic northern income advantages. Some would argue that northern unionism helped drive so much U.S.business south. An now it has left the nation entirely even while the unionism of San Francisco and Madison create sanctuary cities for illegal aliens. The feminized unions are not tough warriors for the rights of all American citizens at all.

The feminized union era is a rump unionism compared with those statistics of the glory days of U.S. unionism, yet because it is one of the fundamental channels through which U.S. female economic advantage is distributed it is tenaciously unresponsive to the interests of other non affirmative-action-class citizens unprotected even by special status hate crimes laws.

One should not have to argue for common sense and traditional economic values for the Democratic Party as it was once its heritage in the 20th century. The Democratic Party should fight for zero illegal immigration, full employment through creation of new ecologically restorative, low entropy new businesses, roll back the global trading of home mortgages in the U.S.A. through various means and created safety nets that are used for emergency instead of entitlement.

The Democratic Party should not be the shop steward for privileged government unions requiring private sector taxpayers to fund full insurance benefits for homosexual playthings of government workers. The Democratic Party should not fight for Orwellian corporate health insurance coverage  for all citizens-the Obama plan instead of support for traditional free public clinic health service for the poor and veterans perhaps in the same facilities.

The natural economic balance of the United States in the expanded global labor and production market is for a lower standard of living in comparison to the rest of the world's people. A Democratic Party with meaningful leadership would be aware that feminized union bubbles taking up its agenda tends to block economic response and reform to the new world order of advantage to the majority of Americans. It should return to its populist yet intelligent roots and not become the idiot party that Plato wrote stupidly collapses into tyranny.

The Democrats of Wisconsin should vote to keep Gov. Walker on the job of moving the U.S.A. in the right direction toward and egalitarian social environment in government. Unions should appear last in Government rather than hanging on when the remainder of the economy is in decline.

A non-spoiled unionism would oppose most immigration today except perhaps with a fair lottery of a 180,000 poor people annually from the rest of the world and maybe 300 geniuses beside. It would scrimp up and defend its borders and let the Bush tax cuts expire. it would pay down the U.S. debt and reform government spending so that it serves necessary purposes rather than just accumulating vast public debt that will bring it to ruin eventually. A good union would regard the U.S.A. as a nation with an economy worth defending intrinsically without a large difference between rich and poor earnings (less than a couple orders of magnitude).

Feminized unionism that is a sort of existential bubble unconcerned with the exterior national economy nullifies that prospects for pragmatism that should be first in the minds of democrats along with liberty and justice for all citizens. A Democratic Party co-opted by national and global imperialism isn't worth a damn at defending the rights of all Americans rather than just special classes. It leads a nation into decay and gives the public the need to hope for at least true Republicanism uncorrupted by oligharchy and global wealth with a crank trickle down effect from abroad that will evolve into place within a few thousand years in America.

Mitt Romney to Bail Out the Public Sector from Debt?

The U.S. public debt today is about 15 trillion 775 billion dollars. If President Obama is re-elected the debt might rise above 22 trillion or even 27 trillion dollars. At some point serious cutbacks to public spending will occur and the business sector will lose a certain amount of capital for investment, unless foreign holders of public debt and dollars dump dollars and create a surplus of high inflation. Mitt Romney might still be able to turn back the tide of a nation going the wrong direction.

Mitt Romney will have a tough task before him he takes office. The President was too timid to let tax cuts expire in December 2010 and that let the public debt deepen markedly. If Democrats have any sense they will let the tax cuts expire this year and negotiate with the Republicans to get a 1% of tax cut here and there for the middle class in return for modest reforms in social security entitlements that would cut off any support for retired people earning more than the average working person does.

Mitt Romney does have one advantage-he could select an ecological economist as his Vice Presidential candidate even though the fossil fuel crowd won't like it. Most of them, like myself are A.B.O. voters, and the nation needs in some way in five or ten years to change its economic principals in the direction of complete low-entropy free enterprise.

Americans seem to select the incapable in these decades-life used to be simpler and Americans did fine with that until deciding to get into the First World War precipitating a century of needless subsequent conflicts.

Second Decade of U.S./Muslim Military Actions-Does Any Realistic ReasonExist?

With the tendency of the United States to engage promiscuously in foreign wars with second world Muslim nations entering the second decade it is reasonable enough to wonder if their is any reason to the rhyme beside short-term goals.

The inertia for in the media from the administration has been to reinforce the opposition movement to the present Assad Government undoubtably throwing political fuel onto the conflict's flames of violence...why?

The question of why has many possible answers, yet the continuing reconfiguration of the Muslim world into a more oothodox Muslilm Sunni society seems to be the general direction. Is it an atheist agenda to consolidate the Muslim world into just Sunni and then undermine that finding it simpler to co-opt one large religious order rather than several? Is that a plan to attack Christianity too while dissolving all the traditional bonds that hold society together?

The atheist agenda may be aggressive seeking to dominate social construction in such a way that progressive global concentration of power is given unto a chic elite acceptable to concentrated wealth and repressive of individualism. Just ideas...

Quanta, Leibniz and Extra-Dimensions

 I would like to reply to that point about monads insofar as how it is comparable to membrane and quanta within the string theory paradigm as I understand it generally.

 With the development of math such as finding the square root of minus one useful on Cartesian X-Y graphs so negative numbers can be plotted, and with the development of the graph in three dimensions rather than just two useful for placing coordinates in real space and with the addition of non-visualizable extra-dimensions on such theoretical spaces up to 256 dimensions or more perhaps it is possible to construct 10 dimensional hypothetical structures.

 As I understand it, things such as Calabi-Yau space of extra dimensions help with structuring or channeling quanta of energy.

 When light quanta was shown by Einstein in his Nobel prize winning of 1905-the photo-electric effect, and with the previous discovery that energy from atoms existed in fixed quanta levels physics progressed toward further discoveries in quantum mechanics all the way up to the strong forces and later quarks. The philosophical nature of the quantum structures is easier to explain with extra-dimensional structures in which energy can exist, pass or emerge in just select locations.

 The strong force is a good example with its three quarks that bond stronger as they try to move apart, and there are actually something like 9 quarks in groups of three I seem to remember reading in 'One to Nine'.

 Magnetism has positive and negative poles yet it is probably because the field flows in just one direction in one side and out the other. It may be that all energy flows in such a way with the dimensions that it flows through large and small determining how much quantity of energy is permitted, where it can exist and in what way.

 Though monads or membranes, strings or such may be the smallest presently known units of energy, it is not at all certain that they or any other mapped observation of quanta of energy are the minimal state. It seems that the smaller the energy unit is, or the closer to the underlying field whatever it is, the stronger is the bond that keeps it together, perhaps because the twist that enables it to loop in upon itself as a structure is the most basic.

 Leibniz has spiritual monads or one dimensional membranes as his basic quanta, yet philosophically I wonder about the fundamental paradox of monism and pluralism. I understand that God is a spiritual Being yet He is able to issue a pluralist field through various mysterious ways.

 For the benefit of the hardened atheists out there I must stipulate that an undifferentiated monism that allows itself to become something that appears to be pluralist in the form of strings, membranes, quarks and so forth is a paradigm for itself standing even without regard to atheist opinion, if it exists. It is a philosophically interesting conjecture to me at least...

 Why does an undifferentiated 'energy' become pluralist in various forms?

 Those forms are without real or meaningful time as G.R. and S.R. point out. Time is a phenomenon of energy-mass formations locally without and absolute direction except perhaps in relation to larger macro-structural space-time formations such as the hypothetical Universe and its expansion 13.7 billion years past. Time, as Tillich noted, would be in 'The Eternal Now' for the basic monistic field although the temporal progression of local time varieties of phenomenality arise and flow perhaps comparable to the solar flares while the sun itself goes on for billions of years-yet for the fundamental field that time paradigm is a non sequitur.

Ecco's 'Semiotics and the Philosophy of Language'

 I have been reading 'Semiotics and the Philosophy of Language' by Ecco recently. It is quite a good blend of linguistics, semiotics, and philosophy with history and logic ingredients too. He mentioned Leibniz' idea that God in his relationship to nothingness created the first dialectic. That is a paraphrase not very well said, perhaps another time I will quote that passage from Leibniz' book.

Sartre's tome 'Being and Nothingness' also brings the fundamental idea of Leibniz to the fore of ontology. 

Within Being it is challenging to prove the source of Being ultimately. It is equally difficult to disprove the idea of nothingness, though negations or the absence of something exists for language as well as for physics.

If one relied upon nothingness to prove the non-Creation of somethingness, or multiplied nothing times nothing to disprove something existing, the reliability would be uncertain enough to search for something better I would think.

Within a series of integers extending forever-even sentient integers if one can imagine such existing within a temporal sequence that seems to disappear in the past, the integers might want to rely upon something rather than nothing to prove that the integer series was not created by a Mathematician rather than being a self-standing automatic generator phenomenality.

Well Ecco's book is fine reading anyway.

U.N./Obama View Syria Civil Conflict as Chance for Power Grab?

The Syrian Government was a natural target for agitation and subversion by the Muslim Brotherhood alumni association and various activists following the Arab Spring of revolutions inspired by President Obama's Cairo speech a few years ago. Restoration of the Caliphate that ended after World War One with the decline and fall of the Ottoman Empire has been a goal for some Sunni restorationists since 1923. The 100th year anniversary of the fall of the Caliphate might be a good time to celebrate a partial return to pan-Arab Sunni rule. Obviously getting rid of the Assad-led Alawite Government in Syria is de rigueur for that.


http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57443826/u.s-warns-of-failed-syrian-peace-plan/

The Alawi have a long history-more than a thousand years, of rugged independent living in Syria and of resisting imperial forces such as the French and Turks. The French regarded the Alawi and the Druze as the only fighters in Syria when they dominated it in the first half of the 20th century. It would be ironic if they U.S. supported crushing the Alawi Government and accomplished the traditional role of oppresor of the Alawi people-even if they are Twelvers. Maybe the U.N. should think about finding another Alawi leader and remove what they believe is a brutal Alawi leader if they must and let the civil tug-of-war proceed from that point without throwing in the towel of independence for the Alawi of Syria.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alawi

Perhaps the analysis is over-thinking the issue. When massacres occur following months of the Obama administration goading in support of the insurrection it catalyzes social horror at the extremes of civil conflict. When comfortable television viewers see the victims of social hate they are easy to manipulate into support or acquiescence for international military action. If that action coincides with development of larger political goals it would be useful to use political candor for a change and say so.

http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/wire-news/syria-massacre-pushes-moscow-toward-decision-point_711320.html

When people are marginalized socially by the established economic power for simply existing regardless of their political beliefs as may happen the oppressed realize that the only secular way to get any sort of equal rights and respect from the established class is to kill them. Generally the established class seeks to kill independents and non-conformists as a threat to their domination of the total geo-social realm of reality. Class hatred can develop as a rational response by a coalition to an oppressive class regardless of what their ideas are on academic theories such as communism, socialism, corporatism, capitalism, mercantilism or whatever. Even the illiterate may recognize the rich bad guys kicking them down because they can.

I wonder about Syria and the reality of the protagonists involved as well as the consequences of a post Alawite regime created in large part by Kofi Anan and Barrack Obama through the intermediary of 5000 Sunni civilian sacrificial victims required to stimulate an eventual resolution somewhere for the U.S. Air Force or perhaps Britain to send a Condor Legion for the Just to bomb Basher Assad and his gang of government technocrats back to the stone age with compassionate conservative precision g.p.s. directed warheads.

When it is just pure and deep class hatred who is right and who wrong between two classes? Is it the more powerful that are right because they own the propaganda media and the established powers? When the United State killed 300,000 Iraqi draftees in bunkers or wherever like shooting fish in a barrel during the 2003 war was that less cruel than the execution of civilians and their supporters seeking to destroy the Syrian Government?

My opinion is that much of the conflict of the 20th century was the result of the importunate U.S. intervention of the United States in World War One perhaps bribed by the pagan statue of a French whore with a red light held aloft in New York's harbor. The French donated the statue after losing the 1874 Franco-Prussian war and were counting on American hicks to prop up a subsequent century of corruption and an avoidable bad chain of events from the rise of Hitler and Stalin to Vietnam that would not have occurred if we had stayed out. I believe that any further U.S. military intervention in Syria would be in service of the Machiavellian geo-megalomaniacs seeking to conquer all and step on the unemployed in the U.S.A. in the process.

One knows that all the political and media bullshit about Syria is simply a buildup for U.S. military support. I don't think the process would fool even the voters that get to choose between perverted party A and oligarchy party B each election cycle. Without dedicated political party channels for every party with more than 5 million voters the broadcast media is the main political opinion creating a nation of observers of foreign things supported eventually by U.S. Aircraft interventions.

The United States should fix its economy, restore the health of the ecosphere, have full employment and an intelligent low-entropy economy transition and stay out of promiscuous foreign military interventions.

Avian Flue Update

The possibility that Bird flu could become a pandemic with far more lethality than the 1918 flu epidemic that killed about 20 million people apparently still concerns world biological scientists, defense analysts and politicians. Version A of H5N1 evidently has something greater than a 50% fatality rate for humans as they have no natural immunity.

Having overcome the ethical challenge of publishing information critical for weaponizing the virus as an aerosol so easy lung to lung infection routes are available earlier this year, biological labs in concerned areas are working to produce immunology concoctions to be ready for any sort of future outbreak of H5N1 Type A.

The practical ethical and security challenges of allowing all of the worlds bio research labs to obtain the virus and work on find defenses against arises because any of those labs might have covert activists that would seek to release the virus intentionally in a lethal form. With world aircraft routes one lab might send one air-breathing researcher globally to quickly infect most nations. Additionally some klutz in a biolab might accidentally infect him,her or transgender uncertain self and send the H5N1 type A virus boldly into the social world where no virus has gone before.

On the other hand, the vast galaxy of biolabs may produce a vaccine for H5N1 quickly making the pandemic point moot and an amusing historical incident of over-worry.

Scientific American's June 2012 issue has an article on the subject of Avian flu that goes over the main points.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=bird-flu-waiting-to-explode

http://www.sciencemag.org/content/335/6075/1463.abstract

Of 565 people infected with H5N1 since 2003, the number that died was 331 and up.

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/233492.

Like the H.I.V. virus, modern transportation structures have enabled the acceleration of  infectious disease virus' globally as well as providing modern counter-measures. In the quickening world of mass social communications and viral transmissions the opportunities for disinformation, government paradigm error, viral multiplication and media of existential menace form temporal critical mass structures appearing swiftly like gales arising on the ocean.
