Ideas for Next Generation Nook/Ebook Readers

Nooks with audio reading accompanied by appropriate bouncing-ball along highlighted text would be an invaluable tool for teaching literacy and increasing vocabulary and comprehension. The audio reading could be built it yet with capacity for downloaded upgrades yet some books could be designed for audio e-book reading by pros with a phrase of highlighted text moving simultaneously. Mathematics instruction e-books could have highlighted formulae and geometric elements. What else besides solar recharging ability, more storage space and lower cost would be good for instructing the third world with super-cheap units and access to a U.N. free e-book library?

Davos, St. Moritiz or Auschwitz for the Rich? Tom Perkin's Archetype of the Rich's Unconscious

Tech billionaire Tom Perkins may have expressed a class consciousness archetype for the rich’s collective unconscious fear that people of the world who aren’t Ultra High Net Worth individuals might awaken from their dogmatic slumber and send the rich who control most of the world’s approximate 250 trillion dollars of capital assets to a new Auschwitz rather than Davos, St. Moritz or wherever it is the rich skink off to for plotting hostile takeovers and leveraged buy outs of the remaining non-networked aspects of the free world economy.

For the .6% that control most capital assets the chance of being removed from wealth and sent naked to gas chambers could be a recurring though vague nightmare almost as bad as a 90% tax rate that could restore the world environment, space exploration and buy new shoes for orphan Annie. Who can say the French Revolution couldn’t happen again with a mobile snappers hydraulic guillotine bringing supply-on-demand chop shops to lop off the heads of planetary misers? It’s not the sort of thing the happy poor think about generally. At least an Auschwitz isn’t going to happen since there are so few people with that big a pile of wealth on Earth- they could stay in a couple of Marriots and await ultra-fast snappers without spending much..

Since Tom Perkins brought the subject up though I make ask, what use are billionaires? Is the world better off without them?  Are they a net gyp? Do they contribute more to the world economy positively or are they really net repressors of competition through networking? Though there is a lot of good tech product that development could happen in an infinite number of alterative ways so different as to make it seem like a different world. Maybe one that is more fair, secure and meaningful to a majority instead of a minority .6% in a UHNW class. Maybe a poll could determine popular opinion on the question of should the rich should be relocated to a concentration camp like Davos with no exit (not the Sartre play)?

If billionaires control the world economy through networking corporate ownership then they comprise a discrete monopoly that has evolved its form over the monopolistic corporate world of the era of F.D.R. Instead of a corporation such as Microsoft being viewed as a monopoly now and then that dominates a business area, or as a state supported quasi-monopoly such as the big Wall Street Banks circa 2008-2009 the modern monopolists concentrate capital power owning everything as a class through networking, speed of light trading in dark pools and purchase of political influence and favorable legislation such as tax cuts to ‘stimulate’ there economy with a tingling running up their legs. A monopoly of the UHNW class stops competition like any monopoly does-if it threatens class economic power. That’s a bad prospect for the survival of human life on Earth that can use all the competition, inventiveness and innovation it can not to mention democracy, a more egalitarian distribution of income in the U.S.A., full employment, restoration of a healthy wild ecosphere and freedom of ubiquitous government and corporate network surveillance.

Actually though Americans seem rather doomed economically and politically speaking being too ignorant to know or care how things are developing or to fix it. In Greek city-states there were assemblies only citizens could attend. Those citizens took their democracy seriously and were vigilant against insidious oligarchy working sedulously to take over the state.

The least a U.S. Government could do to safeguard civil rights of free expression in the tech-control era of global communications would be to make broadcast wavelengths as non-exclusive as cell phone calls and to provide a terabyte of online cloud U.S. citizen text and video storage with personal choice of who can read the data. That would prevent the present insecurity of internet publishing where the rich can just buy up and silence or marginalize search engine listings and so forth for any web site not to mention N.S.A. treachery for partisan political purpose. Even NPR took down it’s free access ‘Talk of the Nation’ Your Turn discussions area a few years ago where anyone could post a comment on about anything. The trend is toward the rich and corrupt ruling the Internet. One may publish anything so long as it’s senseless sycophancy or short-lived.

Organizing the Decline of Democracy With Multi-Culturism

A democratic government exists to represent the proprietary interests of a majority-that is of a coherent culture with shared goals. Historically the Untied States benefited from the lack of vast social organizations and social hierarchies that brought Europe into countless wars and religious organizations to side with governments in sectarian conflict. The frontier that Frederick Jackson Turner wrote of as being formative of American democracy brought the benefit of preventing the formation of vast social organizations in the era before mass electronic communications. Time and technological development would end that era of course.

Large social organizations arise to repress individualism. In an age of multi-cultural social fracture with the concentrations of wealth through preferred network locations democracy is withering away replaced by the large social organization phenomena of prior centuries in new forms. A democracy made of individuals with enough similarities and with representatives from the people that accurately represent their shared class interests is no more. A multi-cultural globalism with religious and corporate hierarchies along with the royal trappings of international political organizations render a T.V. watching organization man, woman or person of transitioning gender more of a spectator of democracy, government, church and a tool of corporate business rather than a peer. The efforts of Congressman Ryan and Democrats of a radical globalist agenda to flood the United States with millions of illegal aliens after making the existing millions of illegal aliens in the U.S.A. legal may be the final nail in the battered body of democracy. The U.S.A. is developing a decoherent polity without the common interests required for a meaningful democratic environment. It isn’t remarkable that a dumbed down State Department consistently seeks to foist a utopian democracy upon nations abroad with radically polarized cultures no more capable of democracy than any nation where organizational splintering of a crazed degree prevails.

In human history the rise of large social organizations seems inevitable and it requires the grace of God to provide new lands without the repression of individuals by sundry organizations. Mankind s a social animal and forms collectives to rule or consume, worship a secular god or provide more bread. Allegiance to organizations brings strife and competition for dominance, wars and rumors of wars arise and individualism becomes an anachronism. Little provision is made to keep the U.S. Government from being led by flunkies that in decades couldn’t pay off a national debt, win a war decisively and at low cost, secure the Mexican border from illegal immigration or prevent the going away concentration of wealth that buys rule through proxies over the masses of proles.

Consistent Histories Issues With Anomalous Time Travel in a G.R. Universe Paradigm

In general relativity space-time is a necessary coefficient. To travel through space near light speed means to experience the passage of time slower than in non-accelerated space-time. That isn’t surprising; time is generally a change in the configuration of mass. With less mass such as has an elementary particle there is less to change. A photon is a photon, a neutrino just a neutrino with maybe a quark or two about it and not much else. Massless particles often travel at light speed, yet that’s just their own existential space and speed in relation to larger clumps of steady state mass.

So to convert mass into photons that are massless and accelerate them to the speed of light is a dream for physicists and erstwhile explorers of other star systems who could as photons travel at the speed of light over immense distances of space that would take a normal rocket ship thousands of years and planetfulls of fuel. It isn’t practical to accelerate mass to light speed because it would encounter the gravitational field super fast and develop counterproductive increase of mass requiring more fuel. Nearing light speed mass and fuel values would become infinite.

If gravity isn’t a field though could mass accelerated to light speed with a photon engine (science fiction) avoid gravity with gravity-Teflon spray? If it could maybe after spraying on gravity-deet what about the other fields that exist in mass such as the electro-weak or nuclear force between quarks? Would those fields be changed at all accelerating through the gravity field, the Higgs field or whatever uncertainty field exists out there and lose their relative condition of decoherence and consistent history locally that gives them a sense of who they are?

If there is only one space-time growing, expanding or whathaveyou as a field decohered from a coherent and uncertain uniform senselessness as a Higgs field and time is only a description of the entangled and decohered steady state of the evolving mass that it is, even if that mass is monistic viewed in the big picture then the past does not exist except perhaps as an image-for-other-viewers from afar traveling at the slowish speed of light. Time travel to the past isn’t possible though the entire Universe could be a recycling thought of God’s that may or may not be set into motion-as needed I would guess if that’s how it is).

Some believe though that if the entire Universe is something like a wave in a two-dimensional ocean juxtaposed with other flat-screen dimension membranes it might be possible to extract oneself from the present wave, relocate to another membrane Universe and reinsert oneself, or one’s mapped steady-state configuration back into the past making new waves in the process I would guess (again).

It seems sort of unreasonable to think that mapping one’s mass configuration and transferring it in some way outside the steady state mass entangled field to relocate in a hypothetical elsewhen would not add or subtract mass from the Universe- so such things might require careful balance and compensation or not as the case may be.

Well, the general relativity of the steady-state Universe that Einstein developed his theoretical parameters about are largely a way of measuring or regarding space-time changes and relationships within it. The field of space-time has local and non-local components and the relationships of mass with local and non-local fields of which it is formed might be malleable or subject to non-standard reformation with the power of intelligent thought that would allow light speed or faster-than-light-speed travel, if one should actually find it beneficial to do so.

Perhaps physicists down the road will discover new ways to quantify, shape, reshape, combine and/or relocate or reconstitute values of mass clumps along with attendant human mind within the Higgs field or whatever other meta-field of coherence and decoherence may exist. That seems like a challenging quantum mapping project especially since keeping consistent histories of a meta-field with exfiltrations of contingent field (post hoc) parts of it relocated elsewhere would probably affect the integrity of a meta-field.

State of the Illegal Union Speech Preview; Al Qaeda & Taliban to Come Out of the Shadows?

“There are three classes in America; the 1% in the shining city on the hill, government socialists with a Utopian vision of class supremacy, and the class of pinball stooges of the firsttwo classes. As President I am of the millionaire-billionaire class as well as the government socialist-utopian supremacy class and work to help them when not to busy playing golf, the pinballs need to roll for themselves." 

Thus begins the opening of tonight’s state of the Illegal Union address.  Leakers of the President’s 2014 State of the Union address informed us of the President’s bold plan to expropriate Emperor Domitian’s style and name himself a King Canute Emperor of Ice-Cream. With the power to vanquish 17 trillion dollars of debt with electronic instant payoff via the Federal Reserve and the ability to reform economics by raising the minimum wage to an index of 20 dollars less than the highest wage he also plans to bring illegal aliens out of the shadows to increase homeland security with green cards-a cruel racist double entendre of irony paying back the gringos truckin lorry’s yore over-the-border.

Details of the illegal alien to spiffy citizen plan via gringo card provided by the leaker known as M reveal that cheap labor will still be available after former illegal workers move into union labor and truck driving jobs, airport security and the Harvard Law School since without a no illegal entry physical security infrastructure another 12 million illegals will arrive as soon as the economy improves to take the 2 dollah and hour jobs in the middle class homes of Democrats doing maid service, construction, lawn mowing etc.

Since there are only 92 million Americans not working presently the labor shortage for the corporate world is plain. Taking up President Ronald St. Reagan’s immigration reform policy since his tax cuts policy worked so well already- being recognized in Bush II form as one of the President’s main accomplishments, advanced Democratic strategist thought recognized that the better way to assure the security of the rich would be to bring Al Qaeda and Taliban workers out of the shadows and into the U.S.A. through the illegal alien to spiffy citizen route. If Al Qaeda and the Taliban have gringo cards in sufficient quantity then and only then would it be possible to secure the Mexican border with a border defense zone of moats, berms and patrols led by experts at illegal entry.

In reply to the Canute Emperor of Ice Crème’s speech the leakers of Senator Rock Battle’s reply say that he will decry European reluctance to pay and play their fair share in volunteer wars around the globe. He noted they aren’t even fanning the flames of incipient much and generally aren’t good N.A.T.O. partners. We recognize there is a certain logic to Battle’s thought; if Europeans won’t impoverish themselves in countless unnecessary wars they won’t become poor and have nouveau reich countries war in Europe down the road. So what then is the point of N.A.T.O.?

On the Future of Tablets & E-book Platforms

Recently buying an e-book reader to discovering turning the page with a touch of a finger, adjusting the print size and storing numerous books in the same platform the surprise to a dedicated paperback reader was substantial; the new platform for a book is that much better. So I wondered where that will lead in the future. Blogger and other web sites may develop touch screen user templates for turning pages and communicating with other users on-line or simply for creating their own personalized screen ensemble. E-book readers may work like tablets with that feature on numerous sites.

There are several obvious trends for e-book readers that will lead to significant yet predictable developments.

1)    They will be cheaper and transparent like a piece of Plexiglas

2)    They will have a terabyte of storage

3)   Multi-purpose solar power recharging will be doped into the clear structural material along with memory

4)   Natural language programming with blended in recombination of image-icons with three-dimensional structural schematic cognition will let users design new apps with touch screen and voice construction. Inventions are largely synthetic recombination of disparate ideas into a new form anyway, computer programming languages too will move toward exploiting that process with touch screens.

5)   E-book readers will turn a page on command such as saying the word page

6)   E-book and tablet servo-unit holders from little solar powered tripods to mobile brain low-information robots will replace that crumpled shirt an e-book reader is resting on at a perfect angle for reading from a sleeping bag on a climbing expedition. If a robotic Sherpa will climb Mt. Everest in the next decade and a robotic wheelchair permit the first quadriplegic ascent of the tallest mountain on Earth with 20 years it is certain that all purpose e-book and tablet holders that change angle on command will appear within a year or two. I wouldn’t mind owning stock in that start up.

Was B. Obama a Gyp or Did the Crats Get What they Deserve?

In a way President Obama accomplished about everything a Republican of the upper class might want during his six years in office.  it is difficult to believe that either Senator McCain or Gov. Romney could have accomplished so much for the benefit of the 1%. President Obama made the Bush II tax cuts for the rich permanent, raised taxes on young healthy workers a few hundred percent through de trop Obamacare insurance law, refused to halt illegal immigration across the Mexican border that is one of two causes of low wage and high unemployment for Americans and never got anything like clean coal on line. He agitated for green cards for tens of millions of illegal aliens so they can finish off male labor related unions once and for all, made homosexual marriage-a goal of some of the decadent rich a priority who may have developed some sort of Terabyte single sex mitosis theory of revolution, worked tirelessly against private school vouchers that would allow something like local democratic choice rather than mandatory indoctrination by public school globalists to help restore some competition to corporatism that has taken over Main Street etc.

The Administration has warned Americans overseas not to appear nationalistic at all in order to conform with his campaign reluctance to wear an American flag pin on his suit. At least he has sent a couple of warships to hover of the Olympic Games in Russia perhaps hoping that will help our athletes get higher scores. If they require sudden evacuation from the games obvious the Russians couldn't help needing to rely on oxcarts over muddy trails for transportation.

The President so far has set an all-time record for the most citizens not working (92 million), has become an outspoken advocate for legal dope and seldom neglects spending time on the golf course or in the company of entertainment-class millionaires that provide such cover for elites concentrating wealth on Wall Street without producing anything material. Since the broadcast media is owned by the rich and/or run by state socialist the President has neglected reforming FCC management of broadcast wavelengths that would bring them out of the upper Neolithic era of the 1950s and 60s into a modern context with tens of millions of high-tech concentrated broadcast slices allocated to local citizens with new forms of digital receivers. With the broadcast media run by the rich and socialists while public schools produce a sort of thoughtless, acquiescent prole-student for globalists to select from for symbols democracy is slowly dying along with the robust health of the planetary ecosphere.

With immediate concerns of 17 trillion dollars of public debt steadily increasing with an unrealistic failure to reform capitalist procedures along non-corporatist, low entropy nationalist priorities with an expanded V.A. Hospital system integrated with the nation’s constellation of low income and homeless health care clinics to provide no-cost care for the broke instead of Obamacare that ossifies market competition in a theoretical misunderstanding of business reality the libertine party is getting what it deserves.

On Mass Social Micro-Management of Health Insurance & Foreign Policy

The question is can failed Soviet government management models it work in 21^st century America? Is it practical for the U.S. Government to act as a monopoly health insurance exchange brokerage without breaking the U.S. health care system? Can U.S. foreign policy impose a placid democratic government on Syria or any other nation through force when its own perfect system of corporatism with 17 trillion dollars of public debt, decaying ecosphere etc required more than 200 years to evolve? I believe the answer is no.

Many Americans learned that just two forms of government exist; communism and capitalism and that they are mutually exclusive. They were wrong. It is plain that a third way of corporatism has supplanted each bringing the worst of each system along the course of economic evolution toward Unitarian godless global oligarchy under the mindlessness of media moderators of Plutocrats.

While it is true that the 85 richest people on Earth has as much wealth as the 3.5 billion poorest it is also true that like the Allan Parson’s song lyric ‘I really wouldn’t be like you’ reduces the severity of the statistic since not everyone signs off willingly on globalist economic policy that concentrates wealth. Yet the defenders of networked capitalism concentrating wealth through preferred network advantages that dominate capital employ the straw man of socialism as the alternative. What would George Washington have said about contemporary networked capitalism?

An interview with George Washington...

“Mr. President, what do you think of corporatism and the concentration of wealth through expert computer program guided electronic trading of Wall Street?”

“Well Ted, I am all for that. Capitalism was created to concentrate wealth and power for the few. If they live around the globe and control the U.S. economy like puppeteers that’s fine. The people never had any write to run their own lives to start with.”

“Mr. President, what about foreign control of U.S. politics?”

“I like to think that we’re above all that in political elites. We don’t like to get our hand dirty in my eponymous village now do we? WE need a king to let us know our place but have to settle for Rhodes scholars. If wealth and power are globally controlled it will spare the people the burden if thinking for themselves and developing worry lines.”

“So what about the environment? Some think that the right role of government is t defend the people from environmental and social threats, insults and decay.”

“Ask yourself Ted, how the environment can be in decay if the right elites are managing it from the best offices with the finest furnishing on the planet? Is that reasonable? There is no need for environmental defense, and the people shouldn’t expect to own anything in the future anyway hence no need for their defense; they won’t have anything that needs defending.”

“What about their rights?”

“What rights are left Ted? The people realize themselves in being people as a class. They have class consciousness as consumers and unconscious as consumers of alcohol, marijuana and so forth after the game is over.”

“So you aren’t for reform of capitalism?”

“Ted these are really nice questions. Go suck a lemon is still good advice. I will say for your edification though that if Adam Smith had wanted reform and not to let the King run the economy he would have said so. St. Smith was canonized and the grail of derivatives trading, arbitrage, dark pools, LBOs Hedge funds and tax cuts require true faith. Heretics may be permanently downsized and outsourced.”
