The Aesthetics of Winter Camping (video)

Extended unemployment must be good for something. At least the aesthetic values of camping in Alaska are interesting. Beats riding a bike across the Gulf Coast in August-117 degrees at Tyler Texas via Shreveport! It would be better if the Obama administration had a clue about creating work in the U.S.A. through reform of capitalism though. I suggested several years ago that the government triage unemployment time and give the most tax credits for hiring those unemployed longest. The President forgot that incentive in trying to get corporations to hire the unemployed. The Democrat Party seems deficient in practical economic reasoning these decades.

Are Galactic Lensing and Expanding Space-time Caused by Quantum Effects?

Light from distant space-time quasars is warped passing select galaxies and made visible as if passing through a lens or traveling around the galaxy because of warped space-time. The expansion of space that was slowing down yet eventually changed to begin accelerating about 5 billion years ago may have a similar cause.  At image credit N.A.S.A. least one would believe they might because each involves space as an actual substance of some sort or at least the existence of mass and energy in volume called space behave somewhat as if space had it's own nature. 

It seems reasonable to speculate that quantum entanglement in mass quantities may be able to slow photons a little and create an apparent space drag around galaxies. Alternatively quantum effects of large bodies of mass boost photons a little as they encounter concentrated fields of mass and ricochet energized.

 I wonder if the acceleration of space-time in the Universe has a related causality to that of galactic lensing. Spacetime phenomena present quite a few puzzles to consider.

Global Warming Shortens Alaska Dog Races/Seasonal Supremacy

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.

Queering Federal Laws; Pres. Obama's Case for Satanic Government

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 Alexandria Egypt. 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 Problem of Gnosticism in the Early Christian Era (incld. video)

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.

Rationing Mass per Citizen for Human Fabrication in the Distant Future?

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.

A Universal Widget - In the Realm of Forms - video excerpt Usgov

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.

Relocation of High-tech Aliens to Run U.S. Business a New Trend?

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.
