Alaskan
dog races are something of a colonial era anachronism of the days when supremacists
ruled the waves. Dominating slave-dog’s pulling white men across vast distances
of socially separate regions without encounters with slums and people unlike
themselves there are many fans. Beside our objective perspective on the
exploitation of animals for the sport of prosperous if not rich by worldly
standards men (and a few women) how on others view the game?
Interview with an Alien
Question; what do you think of the Yukon Quest and
Iditarod races?
Alien; that was a race? I was minding my own business observing a
dog team in the cool minus 40 degree arctic night moving along the Yukon River on
a drug smuggling training course that stopped now and then to excavate a cache
of chemicals in a package from hidden in the river ice. The dog punisher used a
g.p.s. tool to locate packets of illegal drugs to smuggle to consumers downstream.
With 70 million Americans using illegal drugs and a lot of demand on the North Slope safe
smuggling routes are being explored. So an executive action led me to cut out
the heart of the driver, feed it to his dogs and liberate the oppressed dogs to
run free returning to the call of the wild.
Answer; Yes that was a race contestant. I suppose it’s possible that
someone supplements their sky- high annual earnings to keep an apartheid style
way of life with a better Cadillac pick-up truck with off-road drug transporting,
yet that’s no excuse for breaking the laws of the Yukon Territory or Alaska stalking anyone.
Alien-You must be from New York.
-End of Interview
If
we don’t find too much in such an interview to inform us of public opinion about
the Yukon Quest and Iditarod dog races at least it is known that the Yukon
Quest finish line was moved outside Whitehorse this year some 30 miles because
of thin ice on the river and that the Iditarod-the late spring race may move it’s
starting line 360 miles north to Fairbanks in order to find some snow. Global
warming is taking a toll on the race even more than the change of diet for many
of the dogs.
While
people were starving in Africa dog drivers used to feed their dog’s King
salmon from the rivers before the runs largely collapsed. Now some of the slave
teams are reduced to eating garbage from restaurant plates collected in
buckets, run through a dishwasher and fed by the bucket load to the
down-trodden beasts of burden.
Maybe
the New York Times should run the headline Democracy
is Dead- Long Live Corporatism! Minstrels of the herd believe the N.Y.
Times. The Obama administration has given full federal support to homosexual
marriage including spousal exemption from testimony in trial and so forth
raising several legal and moral issues to occupy the nation’s political time
rather than alternative stuff like finding competent economic policy. http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/08/politics/holder-same-sex-marriage-rights/
Is it
reasonable to compel Christians and others to pay taxes to a godless atheist
government with support for official sin in direct violation of the principle
of church and state? Is it fair to exempt homosexuals from testimony and to
give insurance and other financial benefits to those perpetrating that practice
and exclude single, celibate citizens from sharing equal existential protection
of the law? Should anyone be denied the right not to testify about anyone that
is non-self (all except for certain organic relationships involving cellular
synthesis), or be given special legal status in relation to sexual activity or
lust (Pres. Jimmy Carter admitted to “lust in the heart)?
How
the nation came to be in such a state of moral decline is simple to answer. The
policy has been percolating in Boston several decades and has
metastasized with the election of President Obama. In 1999 I read a book on
economics by Lester Thurow who was than at M.I.T. He described four primary
forms of administration economic policy tracks and correctly predicted the
maintenance policy of the following Bush II administration. Thurow also offered
the opinion that traditional social structures needed to be changed. Maybe the
economic reality is within you rather than outside you. That is, dumbing-down
the people may decrease the political problem of incompetent administration economic
policy.
Homosexual marriage is just one step on the
way down that road of complete social revolution empowering elites and
corrupting civil rights that some economists and social elites believe inhibit
certain kinds of economic restructuring. Probably the nation has just
experienced round one in the drift toward satanic scientific socialism that is
not an acceptable substitute for environmentally sane ecological economics
policy with downsizing of capitalism in the corporate form and conservation of
moral principles.
The
queering of the Federal government presents several challenges to those seeking
to advocate for U.S. influence on foreign
affairs. Federal policy is morally indefensible and it is difficult to expect
the second and third world to lay down for a butch commercial globalist power.
With the cold war resolved and the prospects for peace and prosperity ahead
good the Democrat Party had to find new ways to divide the nation and create
global danger.
It
was Mohammahdan Caliph Omar circa 640 A.D. who ordered the destruction of the
great library of AlexandriaEgypt. The Obama
administration’s enigmatic policies have also brought conflict and blood to North Africa and over the Middle East with a growth in Al Qaeda
and Taliban stock respectively in Iraq and Afghanistan. Between book-burning
Moslems and morality burning democrats how can a Christian advocate for U.S. foreign policy as a moral
force for good?
For
that matter how can any moral individual reasonably or persuasively argue that
the trend of U.S. foreign policy isn’t more of a follow Britannic leadership as
a new age Phoenicia commercial Carthage trading with every nation and
recognizing any sort of male, female or group marriage sort of friendly trade
materialism instead of a more ecologically and egalitarian conservative and
moral nationalism?
Merging
with a media morphological soundtrackin into an Eleatic political economy of
doped, syncopated sardines in a slathered, greasy matrix isn’t a preferred
direction for democracy
Why
the U.S. government selected
policies of pragmatic depravity and defeat instead of rational and moral
prosperity with respect for spiritual values is uncertain. If the economic and
moral foundations of the United States are trashed too far it could
be challenging to recover. Federal moral apostasy is a terribly thing to
correct.
The epistle to the Galatians
is perhaps the most remarkable of Paul’s existing letters that have made it
down to us through time inasmuch as the Apostle seems at times wroth with the
Galatians or Gauls of a Roman district that may or may not have been Celts. If
these church goers were actual Gauls it mike be a good idea to change the word Galaxy
to something else, such as Nuraghe in order that we do not seem to
encourage a bad end along with the Universe in some sort of Apocalypse.3:1-”
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should
not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set
forth, crucified among you?” That
may well have been the Gnostic mistake. It does happen that what is wisdom for
man is foolishness to God.
Philo of Alexandria
presented most of the Gnostic metaphysical paradigm before the crucifixion of
the Lord in 30 A.D. The Apostle John may well have encountered those ideas in
followers in Ephesus. It is possible that the Gnostic heretical field of
scholarship wasn’t terribly well received in Jerusalem either. Thus exporting the pursuit of the Gnostic
topic to Antioch, Ephesus
and elsewhere that religion had a lively public interest and was received with
a modicum of tolerance might have been a logical course. Gnosticism in the
first century may have camouflaged itself within the garb of traditional
Judaism better even than Christianity for a time socially speaking.
Gnostics were people thought
of as regarding themselves as having deeper metaphysical knowledge of reality
than ordinary people. Some claimed that Jesus was actually a Gnostic traveler-a
sort of astral projector perhaps to other planes of existence around this
Universe. It is still a tempting yet silly doctrine popular on late-night radio
shows and perhaps with dope smokers of the U.S.A. along with Bigfoot and extra-terrestrials
manipulating the Obama administration’s homosexual policies.
Christian disputes with
Gnostics occurred because Gnostics tended usurp Christian doctrine and
insinuate their own. They might believe in dualism such that the material world
is evil and was made by an evil demi-urge. While some might regard original sin
in a fallen Universe of thermodynamics instead of eternal spiritual perfection
as another way of saying that, the practical consequence of false belief are
substantial.
Gnostics tended to deny
Jehovah as the true God and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to overcome sin for
those of faith. The emanationist (simplified for Christian practical purposes
to’ let their be light’) theories of Gnostics are though coincident with some
aspects of logical insight into the nature of the material Universe such as the
big bang, inflaton or even a cyclical Universe expanding and flowing through a
thermodynamic process.
Paradoxically those that
believe the Universe had no real beginning-just proximal ones such as time=0
located at a temporal hourglass very small singularity before an oppositely
sequenced pre-Universe shrinking down in scale, share the idea with Christians
that all things that exist are ultimately based in the eternal with temporality
being expression of phases within eternity. At this point physical cosmology research
hasn’t evolved terribly deeply into physical reality and temporality of a
hypothetical multiverse within an eternal context replete with conservation of
energy and ordination by God.
Paul as a student of
Gamaliel might have been somewhat learned himself in Jewish mysticism. The contemporary
of Jesus Christ, Philo of Alexandria, was marginally mainstream and perhaps not
unknown to Jewish theology training centers. By the time of the third century Plotinus-a
famous student of Ammonius Saccus developed a beautiful, logically satisfying,
mystic, theologically simplified cosmology that is similar in many respect to
contemporary cosmological paradigms including origin from a singularity or One
(En Sof-the ineffable infinite) with universal and broken form theories
acceptable to Plato and quantum mechanics.
It is a bit of a paradox
that the mysterious, spiritual Kabbalah shares with Mohammadanism the term for
spirit –Ka that the Egyptians used as
well as ba or shelter. Hence one gets
the spirit house or Ka-ba such as at Mecca and the Kabballah going even further in honor of a
transcending spirit. The spirit house of Mecca existed long before Mohammad’s syncretistic
enterprise.
The danger of simply
becoming intellectually lost as an individual self-standing within the created
material world is a danger that Lucifer succumbed to. Since everything exists
and one may reason within the given steady-state field or any existing
alternate spiritual field, there is a temptation for the ego to alienate itself
from the transcendent God and the opportunity to renormalize from sin in the
contingent field of being and try to exist forever as a contingent being or
even a nearly omnipotent contingent being without God imbued with a false
consciousness denying His existence. That effort is in disregard to the actual
facts of being-that God is all-in-all and the Son is the sole way to
renormalize the estranged-by-sin relationship.
A generic emantionist
paradigm for cosmological origin of quanta of any type from a state of being ‘void
and without form’ requires some emanation of virtual quanta or
proto-particles/strings/membranes etc from an existing field containing or
heteronymous with the void. Math isn’t theoretically of much help in describing
the non-dimensional infinite, indivisible field that emanates with quantum
uncertainty perhaps on occasion into a void.
Mathematics represents
some form of coordinate system-even a theoretical one with scalable dimensions.
Without coordinates or quanta it would be challenging to use math references for
describing one infinite field with no extension and all possible dimensions
unactualized prior to emanation from super-positions decohered into forms in a virgin
formless void. Theological contemplation might be easier, although it’s better
and simpler to recognize Jesus Christ as the only way to understand God containing/promulgating
the one field engendering any potential or actual Universe.
Ultimately Plotinus’
paradigm is mostly a horse-shoe toss description of the theosophical state of
the cosmos without either modern technical terms. Plotinus did not provide
Christian information about how to be saved from the fallen realm of materially
imperfect forms and original sin that is implicit in the temporal world. Living
a couple centuries after the Lord he may have felt that wasn’t his role. The
age was philosophically confused enough and just the canonized Bible such as
the Muratorian fragment provided was a plain and accurate guide to eternity.
Human society without achieving a
critical level of creative, adaptive thought may evolve toward maximum
exploitation of available mass converting it to a high entropy format depleting
environmental sustainability or even the existence of a given planetary body
clumped together under the influence of gravity. Thus one may anticipate
distant future political efforts to counteract the noted characteristic of
purely egoistic use of mass without consideration of the concatenating social
effects.
Human society evolving like bacteria
in a Petri dish consume all available food or mass available to process it adding
entropy in order to provide comfort, prestige and so forth. Yet unlike
uncreative bacteria human society and numerous individuals have bursts of
creative, inventive thought, thus they are capable of consuming and adding
entropy to mass at a far higher rate than that of bacteria. Not simply
consuming food and reproducing more of their own kind to deplete resources
human beings convert orderly environmental mass into vast tonnage per person of
luxurious dwelling, automobile and so forth accelerating the irreversible
conversion of mass with low entropy into mass with high entropy.
One might consider that human beings
in an unregulated social environment might eventually be conformed by external
forces in the processed environment into a maximum density format such as
crystal structures determined by a coefficient of technological capacity,
minimal spacing and remaining resources. The alternative to that might be
species depletion by elites to provide liberal time for existence of the
remnant former minority with quantitative easing of the resource tension via
controversial means (if they were debated) such as holocausts. In times of
resource tension extreme measures historically arise.
A future society with substantial
remaining unprocessed mass and a viable environment might limit the tonnage per
individual for fabrication including housing, transport and so forth demanding
the most extreme inventive thought materially from its citizens if they are to
get the most out of the mass quota. I would guess that a vast, thin polymer
geodesic sphere computer absorbing sunlight and floating in zero gravity might
be an efficient direction if it were capable of sustaining human life inside. It’s
hard to say. Yet it is interesting to thinking about what sort of physical
social environment would develop if forethought and intelligence were required
of builders rather than mass-producing housing tracts with low, low creative
thought involved as if they were farming for-themselves adding so much
non-ecospherically sustainable structure at unreasonable rates of interest.
I read from my science fiction novel on a planet's history of social eco-engineering maximizing efficiency in the use of available mass by citizens within an entropy-reduction context.
Immigration/relocation to America is sometimes held up as an ideal. When Microsoft
named a dual-passport holding (he may have a U.S. passport too) Indian engineer to be its new C.E.O.
the idea of bringing 50,000 more high tech aliens to Detroit was exemplified. Standing before a full size video
screen a C.E.O. of a large corporation can talk face to face with his minions
around the globe. The nation where he is located makes little difference except
as the tax policy favors his machinations and power. The workers are outsourced
abroad at any rate whenever possible. Corporate profits are sent at the speed
of light through a myriad of dark pools to tax havens and can be reinvested in
physical plants of the second and third world without environmental or labor
laws of hindrance.
The Peace Corp ads that ask the question 'would you travel 5000 miles to... should be better said 'would you fly coach with only Skype and a drink in a can for a few hours? Some ideas never change about travel.Perhaps 50,000 more Indian and
Chinese engineers and scientists of various skills could run America’s corporations better than Americans whom are
increasingly so inept as to need low-tech Mexicans to do yard work and other
menial jobs for them too. Is it right though to call high-tech aliens immigrants as if they spent months at
sea in cold leaky sailing ships to reach the U.S.A. instead of a few hours coach class with Skype ever
present to consult face-to-face with home? Wouldn’t the term relocated better describe the high tech
alien peregrinations around the globe landing in the U.S.A?
The mayor of Detroit failed to realize that high tech aliens don’t need
to relocate to Detroit to perform menial jobs that can’t be outsourced.
High-tech jobs can be outsourced via Skype from Detroit, all one needs is capital to afford to hire Indian
or Chinese engineers who will perform the work for the capitalist in Detroit or Gstaad at a fraction of the wage as in America. If aliens with high-tech savy relocate to Detroit
from abroad all they need to do is study U.S. markets to better coordinate
sales from the homeland to the new land of hapless proto-globalists run by a congress
and executive that believes one needs to pass legislation to find out what’s in
it. The prime directive of competent legislation in a democracy is that which
is transparent, well founded and with a high likelihood of working a priori. Obamacare
failed that standard miserably.
If America is to be less
like the British run era of opium intoxication of China recolonized by aliens
relocating simply to annex U.S. political policy to that of Satan in a Babylon
the Great paradigm and somewhat more like the American ideal of George
Washington it ought to secure its borders, halt the relocation of aliens to the
U.S.A. and downsize the corporate agenda while raising taxes on the rich, eliminating
the public debt and finding ways through zoning and private incentives to hire
people to restore the environment in the way that F.D.R. put Americans to work
planting trees around the U.S.A. Even making a wetland out of a parking lot can
be labor intensive.
I will stipulate that I didn't see the Super Doper Bowl between Seattle and Denver last Sunday, the entertainment industry's W.W.A. cavalcade of winners isn't to interesting especially when the sewing economic disorder broadcast media reports the event. Washington State and Colorado are the two states that legalized dope sales so how could they not be the favorites to win in the second term of the Obama administration. Washington State legalized homosexual marriage besides so that state had to beat the legal dope only with a square old-style quarterback that reminds some of Johny Unitas-another notorious square that didn't find playing with the dopey San Diego Chargers keen. News reports of the other championship bowl games of Iraq and Afghanistan report that they are becoming losses through the reverse causality of the administration though they did have help with their foundations. New ways of producing another Vietnam are being delivered yet the financial costs of entering dubiously necessary contests without a syllogistically sound exit strategy will keep on compiling especially with Obamacare, post-traumatic stress injured vets for the next several decades along with their stressed families. Bread and circuses were too popular with the plebians of Rome while the Empire developed its royal classes without a clear line of succession. It's lucky that Brit's royals have so many princes so they can become kings of the political economy for the next hundred years as the United States dissipates its notions of national independence. Seventeen trillion dollars is a lot of public debt, the broadcast media is a force of moral and economic disorder and Microsoft has named someone named Satya (n?) as it's full disclosure CEO at last and St. Ignatius was fed to wild beast in the Coloseum by the order of Emperor Trajan in 107 A.D. At least the fans of doper bowls are satisfied with the way things are.
If
2500 billionaires on the planet-a small number equal to the population of a
very small town such as I once lived in at Wrangell Alaska, can control 33
trillion of the world’s 250 trillion dollars of capital assets and if the
30,000 Ultra-High Net Worth individuals on the planet control perhaps 150
trillion together what are the prospects for egalitarianism in democracy for
the United States? Isn’t it most likely that the 1% will manipulate the
politics of the 99% and that the bought and paid for media will support the
interests of the 1% prevalently?
I
was thinking about the odd situation comparable to if the politics of the United States revolved around the city
of Wrangell and if political theory
and economics existed to support the right of the billionaires to have low low
taxes and through Wall Street networking own much of everything in the nation
and plenty of stuff abroad. That would be rather silly I think, and if the
citizens of the United States had any of the stuff of
the revolutionary founders of the nation they wouldn’t lay down for that.
I
ought to say that the people of Wrangell are ordinary people except for a few
perhaps and there aren’t any billionaires. In fact some Alaskans have built
remote huts without electricity, running water and so forth without even power
tools or a road to get building materials out to it. Instead they packed
everything in themselves. Even so, the rights of those poor Alaskans are
supposed to be equal politically to those of the billionaires of the nation
(that total is less than the 2500 maximum in the world though, yet to be
equitable, not all the people of Wrangell are registered voters).
In
order to reform capital practice and advance preferred socially beneficial
methods of political economy the electorate needs to actually have the power of
self-determination. That term, self-determination
is seldom used in political discourse these days. Formerly in cold war
times against the evil empire self-determination was a prime rational for
liberating the people of the Eastern bloc from communist government
authoritarianism. The East bloc states of the Democrat Party (e.g. Massachusetts, New York, Vermont etc) seem to favor
authoritarianism and concentrating wealth simultaneously-not especially
political progress.
To
reform political economy a polity of citizens needs to be sovereign and not
ruled by expensive bought and paid for UHNW representatives, senators and
Presidents. It is not enough to select non UHNW politicians, they must actually
have an idea about how to reform the economy so competition is restored,
sovereignty of the people and their borders are secured and the environmental
disasters ahead over-ruled. It is possible to locate such individuals yet the
prospects for electing any are nil today. Ralph Nadir was the last candidate
with as much as 30% of the qualification for such a task.
I
should say something about the straw man argument of socialism as the
alternative to oligarchic irresponsible dialectical evolution of capitalism as
is developing today in the class networked mode; its only one of an infinite
number of possible reforms to capitalism. Examples of reform formats are
limiting the size of corporations to 3000 employees, capping the number of
corporations an individual may invest in directly or through mutual funds at
three and indexing minimum wage to mean salaries of the top 25% of at something
like a limit of 50:1. There is more motivation for the poor to invent and
become rich than for the rich to invent or allow others to invent-instead they
have a trait of networking, repressing inventors, repressing rival free
enterprise and co-opting politics to their advantage.
The
99% cannot just redistribute income from the 1% as if everyone got it
existentially from a practico-inert fairy cheese of the Universe with a finite
size and everything will be hunkie dory. One must reform capitalism along real
functioning principles such that it would produce full employment, satisfy the
material and spiritual needs of the 99% (a good utilitarian argument exists for
preferring the interests of the 99% over the 1%) including the freedom to allow
worship of God without coercion from any sort of authority.
There
may be an approaching economic disaster stalking the world like a vast tidal
wave over the horizon in an era before electronic communication and when
sailing ships were the fastest boats on the sea. Unlike that period when it
took months to cross 5000 miles today that distance is just a few hours away
and for an economic tsunami much closer; it could occur at the speed of light
through electronic trading and financial collapse or biological designer
weapons could be unleashed from the increasing arsenal of Pandora’s vast bio-research
box. Global warming could transition the world into a proto-Venus through a
cascade of doom as CO2 levels steadily rise with sulphurous tar sands and
perpetual reliance on automobiles and roads to kill off bio-diversity
threatening the rich tapestry of life on Earth that is interwoven and
inter-dependent for its evolution.
It
is believed that the 2008 Wall Street meltdown was just a vague
outline of the economic collapse lurking inn the shadows for Americans and even
the world economy. Innumerable writers and economists have described several of
its parameters as the blind men once described the elephant. It is time to
consider restoring national economic independence and the well being of the 1%
even as the nation helps with good Christian neighborliness our friends in the
world.
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?
