Microphone Aggression Stimulates Conflict, Corruption and Social Unrest


When Hutu broadcasters stimulated impulsive genocide against Tutsi tribes persons in Rwanda in 1994 they were continuing a policy of microphone aggression against group and individual others-as themselves developed by Mussolini-a micro-aggressor inventor before the Second World War as a radio talk broadcaster designer of fascism. New lexical innovations for microphone aggression proceeded over the decades even unto subjective rave demotic with discrete reflections of micro-aggressive use-truths from myriad mouths. Media's massively corrupt communications let ignorant elites broadcast a dominant, non-representative opinion as a populist opinion attracting thoughtless followers toward doom.

Social determinism by the rich implicitly opposes democracy and strengths of democracy such as arise with the competition of ideas to best determine social political policy through advice and election consent. Because micro-aggression is fundamentally sponsored by the rich-except for Pravda-like musical doper-homo partisans of all things micro-soft through power of micro-aggressive National Public Radio, the alcoholic style big-headed usurpation of democracy by elites able to preempt actual independent political formation in the states is nearly complete. Micro-aggressors that should be replaced by a better, modern allocation of broadcast wavelengths to individual local citizens in time slice shares to express citizen points of view instead of that of serialized micro-aggressor 'journalist' dogs having their day dominating airwaves.

Bloggers provide a written record and plain words that may be understood by any interested individual. Unlike the top-dog power on stilts of microphone aggressors socially contributing massive quantities of metaphorical dog turds to the world, bloggers cannot dump their product to the masses. Blogs are rather hard to locate-there are millions and millions of them with vague alpha-numeric addresses that readers must work to find. Blogs prosper in numbers through quality competition yet even Internet blogging may go to those able to afford search engine optimization for preferred listing. The wealthy and sycophants of the wealthy have a vast left and right wing advantage in the Internet as well as the broadcast realm, though in the broadcast realm ordinary opinion is non-existent. Only the swell pros and the corrupt program designers (such as the Lenin like leaders of N.P.R.) develop suitable brainwashing content to dump in the path of potential listeners and those that have already lost critical, independent, undoped reason.

In order to dominate a polity it is useful to own a powerful and non-democratic broadcast media where micro-aggression is the rule rather than the exception. That situation enables another support for the horseshoe toss social control of society dedicated to the proposition that all wealth should be concentrated to networks controlled by the largest shareholding global investors. Bling, dope and a micro-queer social environment for the masses have become enforced with microphone aggression defining dissent as hate speech to be ruthlessly financially suppressed.

-a note on why concentrating wealth is dangerous

In 1935 if an average American earned 1 dollar a day while a rich American earned $10 that isn't too bad. A rich man could say that with his greater wealth he created jobs that employed the poor. He could say that's how capitalism works. O.K. The poor can vote to change things if he don't like them.

So in 1980 an average American earns 10 dollars a day (these are just representative values) while a rich American earns $300, the difference between rich and poor have increased yet the poor can still vote to change things if he don't like-em, maybe.

In 2020 an average American earns 9 dollars a day after adjustment for inflation while a rich American earns $30,000 compounding annually with interest from his banks and zero interest loans issued from the Federal Reserve so he can loan out $5 for every 1 dollar loaned from the Federal Reserve so he can keep the four dollars he mints from the dollar deposited plus interest on the four dollars. The bad investment debts of the rich American are bought up by the U.S. Government and taken by the Federal Reserve with quantitative easing.

If the poor and middle class don't like that policy or the gap between the rich and poor they can suck. The Government and business elites have made homosexual marriage the law in all 50 states. Money is the equivalent of political power. Elites advise; smoke some legal dope-and fuggetaboutit.

Metaset's Algorithm (poem)

Metasets' Algorithms

When no one existed
shadows had no eyes to fall upon
where coolness might have been a relief
to anyone that was
walking across plain time towards a star

where no hearts beat
when dryness had turned to dust all of the memories
that might have been
stillness waited to be stirred
something waited to be formed

as if every algorithm was a form
given parameters never to become a forbidden shape
though counter-instructions placed deceptive mirrors
presenting iterations that assembled like cherubim guarding Eden

sets circumventing sets of all sets maliciously
like reptiles cornering the market for apples
aborting echos of hopes that die before beginning
as if to make one wonder if one ever was
something like a fragment of parchment
spectral lines etched in quartz
waves entangled as point particle crests stopped dead.

On Proofs for God's Existence

On Proofs and Being of God

In this section of 'A Body of Divinity' Watson offers six proofs for the existence of God. Personally I feel this is the most dated of Watson's sections. Since it is more than 400 years old that isn't too surprising. Arguments from design, the ontological argument and more can use some updates. I have worked on creating a few theological arguments for the existence of God yet those are novelties more or less. Ultimately one has faith or not and uses one's reason or not in choosing to believe that the first particle or waveform that collapsed into an eigenvalue formed as a field phenomena given to exist by God.

I especially like Watson's fifth 'proof' for the existence of God.

[5] That there is a God, appears by his prediction of future things. He who can foretell things which shall surely come to pass is the true God. God foretold, that a virgin should conceive; he prefixed the time when the Messias should be cut off. Dan 9:96. He foretold the captivity of the Jews in Babylon, and who should be their deliverer. Isa 45:5: God himself uses this argument to prove he is the true God, and that all the gods of the heathens are fictions and nullities. Isa 41:13. Testimonium divinitatis est veritas divinationis. Tertullian. To foretell things contingent, which depend upon no natural causes, is peculiar to Deity.”

I'll innovate some modern proof criteria. There are newer and numerous proofs efforts I would guess. Here is my 'Blue Balloon Argument'.

02:07pm Feb 22, 2002 EDT
The Ontological Argument and The Argument from Design are well known. Of the numerous others that provide analogies regarding the absurd in attempting to disprove the existence of God, one of mine is the Blue Balloon Argument...

The Blue Balloonist point of view is up and away from the ordinary self-originating inflationary universe models. The universe is like a balloon in rapid growth of expansion from singularity to omega. The hot big bang is the force that contained all the inertial/momentum force mass necessary for the composition of the entire universe. The clumps of coalescing mass such as galaxies are on the balloons walls. From its humble yet radical beginning the future of the balloon was pre-designed/determined.

Some of the balloon's 'intelligent' phenomenalities are not sure if the balloon will expand forever, blow up, dissolve or collapse under its own stretched elastic strength/gravity back down to a humble singularity, and perhaps inverse right on through to expand in the opposite direction as an anti-matter balloon. Radicals have proposed that the balloon came into being by crashing into another balloon (ballooning membrane theory).

The riders of the balloon theorize a reversible-direction universal balloon going back and forth like a pendulum from anti-matter universe to matter-universe may obviate the need for a designer as the balloon has existed eternally-from the beginning. Some riders have commented that the air bag space is expanding quicker with space from an unknown source. Isn't it absurd for the balloonists to conjecture that no intelligent designer of the balloon could exist?

One discerns that philosophical arguments and first cause and the existence of God differ somewhat from arguments about the mechanics of creation and of arguments that the mechanics of creation require a designer. The philosophical methods are easier to reduce to yes-no propositions that must ultimately be decided with faith. It is difficult for finite beings with finite minds to comprehend the infinite. At best one might understand abbreviations of infinite things or perhaps classify trans-finite infinities along the mathematical set paradigmata of the mathematician Grigory Cantor. Yet one returns to the parameters of an initial non-temporal being always existing whom foreknows all things to be created or phenomenally appear within creation.

Watson writes-

“God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, in his being, wisdom, power,
holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.

Here is, 1: Something implied. That there is a God. 2: Expressed. That he is a Spirit. 3: What kind of Spirit?

I. Implied. That there is a God. The question, What is God? takes for granted that thereis a God. The belief of God's essence is the foundation of all religious worship. Heb 11:1.
‘He that comes to God must believe that he is.' There must be a first cause, which gives being to all things besides. We know that there is a God.

[1] By the book of nature. The notion of a Deity is engraven on man's heart; it is
demonstrable by the light of nature. I think it hard for a man to be a natural atheist; he may wish there were no God, he may dispute against a Deity, but he cannot in his judgement believe there is no God, unless by accumulated sin his conscience be seared, and he has such a lethargy upon him, that he has sinned away his very sense and reason.

[2] We know that there is a God by his works, and this is so evident a demonstration of a Godhead,”-page 42

“Psa 14:1. ‘The fool has said in his heart, There is no God.'
He durst not speak it with his tongue, but says it in his heart: he wishes it. Sure none can be speculative atheists.”-page 45

“[3] We may prove a Deity by our conscience. Conscience is God's deputy or vicegerent. Conscience is a witness of a Deity. If there were no Bible to tell us there is a God, yet conscience might. Conscience, as the apostle says, ‘either accuseth' or ‘excuseth.' Rom 2:15. It acts in order to a higher judicatory. Natural conscience, being kept free from gross sin, excuses. When a man does virtuous actions, lives soberly and righteously, observes the golden maxim, doing to others as he would have them do to him, then conscience approves, and says, Well done. Like a bee it gives honey. Natural conscience in the wicked accuses. When men go against its light they feel the worm of conscience. Eheu! quis intus scorpio? [Alas! What scorpion lurks within?] Seneca.”-pages 43-44

“6] That there is a God, appears by his unlimited power and sovereignty. He who can work, and none can hinder, is the true God; but God can do so. Isa 43:13. ‘I will work, and who shall let it?' Nothing can hinder action but some superior power; but there is no power above God: all power that is, is by him, therefore all power is under him; he has a ‘mighty arm.' Psa 89:13. He sees the designs men drive at against him, and plucks off their chariot wheels; he makes the diviners mad. Isa 44:45. He cutteth off the spirit of princes; he bridleth the sea, gives check to the leviathan, binds the devil in chains; he acts according to his pleasure, he doth what he will. ‘I will work, and who shall let it?'”-page 44

The omniscience and omnipotence of God-of an eternal being allowing a Universe to be and become has innumerable parameters and/or models, potential configurations and relationships to contingent, sen tient life within. I described a little of that a comment about Brian Josephson/G.W.F. Hegel Evolution of Spirit misc. (below). Much of contemporary discussion might use computer algorithms as formalisms and models for designing artificial intelligence. Kurt Godel's works about abstract sets comprising incompleteness (one cannot create an accurate finite description of the unbound infinite) exemplify the problems that not only computer programmers have searching for a way to make lines of computer code become a living mind as smart as they are perhaps, or able to understand the aesthetic difference between light and darkness, but physicists have in constructing a complete account metaphysics of the phenomenal Universe.

Recently I watched a video of the physicist Roger Penrose named :The Emperor's New Mind, Quantum Mind, Quantum Consciousness, The Laws of Physics” at Youtube. In the video he relates the reasons why he thinks a computer cannot be given an actual mind with lines of programmatic logic. Essentially he thinks that the cytoskeleton, or the infrastructure that make up the brain neurons and synapses functions at the quantum level (with all of the issues of quantum super-positioning, quantum uncertainty and so forth) and thus cannot be modeled in programmatic logic.


Of course it might be possible to design an automatic operating quantum computer one day with its own brand of artificial intelligence with real-world integration able to randomly reconfigure material reality according to its own inscrutable will without any sort of moral reservations-yet I think that wouldn't be a very good idea. That would be something like designing a robotic arsonist with its own will to set as a security guard in a fireworks factory. At any rate it would take quite a long time for the clever writers of computer code and physical designers of quantum computers to evolve that sort of technology... a century or two at least. So it isn't much of a clear and present danger.

Brian Josephson/G.W.F. Hegel Evolution of Spirit misc.

Recently I encountered a philosophical and cosmological worldview of Brian Josephson-I believe the eponymous inventor of Josephson junctions (for quantum tunneling)- a Nobel laureate, that resembles G.W.F. Hegel's idea about God realizing himself in history (described in The Phenomenology of Mind). The idea transcends the boundaries of naive evolution vs. creationism quite a bit. Josephson believes that quantum mechanics can evolve its own complexity inclusive of mind, yet his theory stipulates an initial observer starting the development or evolution of a system of evolving quanta that becomes sentient biologically. I want to expand the parameters of the Josephson theoria to extrapolate and explain theological implications.

The physics and what is known of biological systems of aggregating change and increasing complexity and complex structures appear to support Josephson's thesis that is comparable to a neo-Hegelian evolution of spirit realizing itself in history. Josephson's theory obviates the need for the extra dimensions of M and String theories. In those theories there is a vast number(10 to the 500th power?) of ways of putting dimensions together to form a Universe such as this and hence equally as many mathematical forms to describe it. Finding the right formula and dimensional model to account for the nature of this Universe would be rather challenging. Instead of a virtually infinite number of dimensions that with randomness or perhaps logical permutation experiment (an anthropomorphism) with the generation of a Universe capable of supporting life-an approach often used by atheists to negate the anthropic principle/Goldilocks 'just rightness' physical constants of this Universe such that it supports life, and observer initiates or primes the initial quanta to be and become.

Such an observer could be hypothesized to have evolved for-himself in some way before the Universe existed, although Christians stipulate that God existed from eternity rather than having a beginning. One might consider that the 'ancient of days' did not simply evolve mind as the first created Person and become God to all subsequent Universes. In a way that is incomprehensible to the human mind, God always was. God was and is prior to the existence of the first virtual particle, erg of energy or dimension of possible space-time. In any event once God was, and as God was, with omnipotence and omnipotence all potential creations, Universes and evolutions were with God and for-God.

At any rate though, since God existed He would be able to jump-start any number of possible Universes though they could be designed to evolve like a growing, branching tree. Because God is a sentient mind who may evolve sentient minds in contingent Universes it is likely that as an omniscient mind he foreknows all contingent minds that exist or would exist in any possible Universe. God's being transcends and encompasses all temporal space-time and contingent sentient beings within a given universe.

Though this is a scholastic sort of theological speculation rather than scriptural it is useful to show that evolution theory is not incompatible with God creating the Universe, with physical determinism nor with God continuing a sustaining role knowing the content of all sentient thought within a physically evolving Universe. Alpha through Omega.

Hillary's Hidden Email Coms;- The Historical Perspective

The 16th century theologian Thomas Watson understood the world well. In that contentious era of English history regicides and religious purges affected even his own status as a pastor. It is notable that human sin and the corruption of high offices have not really changed much-it's unjust that the organizational methods have been changed to exploit the innocent.

Hillary Clinton's hidden email accounts are the antinomy of open meetings and of public government for the people. It is the dark pool approach to government equivalent to those hidden speed-of-light Wall Street percentage shell games. It may have been in the Bradley Manning-Edward Snowden era yet is that an excuse for hiding government work deeply offline where it could be subcontracted to anyone willing to pay for the privilege?

Watson page 32-”The impartiality of those men of God who wrote the Scriptures, who do not spare to set down their own failings. What man that writes a history would black his own face, by recording those things of himself that might stain his reputation? Moses records his own impatience when he struck the rock, and tells us, he could not on that account enter into the land of promise. David relates his own adultery and bloodshed, which stands as a blot in his escutcheon to succeeding ages. Peter relates his own pusillanimity in denying Christ.

Jonah sets down his own passions, ‘I do well to be angry to the death.' Surely had their pen not been guided by God's own hand, they would never have written that which reflects dishonour upon themselves. Men usually rather hide their blemishes then publish them to the world; but the penmen of holy Scripture eclipse their own name; they take away all glory from themselves, and give the glory to God.”

The observation of Watson is quite true. Christian Apostles explained backstage rather than front stage behavior to the public. Over the course of history that tends to be not so, and is something that people tend to pick on still. One has a Jimmy Swaggart seeming as a chastising figure for sinful moral behavior in a corrupt society who then was revealed to have been visiting a prostitute in New Orleans. Christian pastors hiding immoral behavior that are enfiladed are trophies for the lost legions of Satan in the mass media era. How much disrespect have the Catholic Church's pedophile priests brought upon religion in America and Europe. Those sorts of leveraging monsters exist of course in all fields of social endeavor with hierarchical authority.. Bill Clinton as President had a student intern to fill his days yet the left apologized for that and Sweden awarded a Blobel a Nobel Prize that year. Sinful Christians in the ministry though are like embezzling accountants and notably reprehensible. That is another reason why a priesthood of believers is a better format, where the corrupt just don't have that higher position of power to lever or exploit the lesser-and the corrupt will migrate into positions of power naturally putting on the vestments of authority yet allegiant to personal egoism.

When Hillary Clinton was revealed to have hidden a private email account at home where she sent tens or hundreds of thousands of emails on official State Department business that back-room behavior wasn't surprising; the Democrat Party and sycophant media seems about ex officio racketeering and organizing crime ala' Lenin. That it was illegal or against State Department policy and a good example of how the corrupt keep their conspiracies and collusions, connivances and intrigues secret from the world so far as possible will be explained away until it seems like a public service to the mindless followers of public radio. Ms. Clinton may not have hidden a smoking gun-Vince Foster diary-until maturation date, yet she could have been working instructions from President Amadhdinijab or organizing a second Bolshevik evolution for all the people of the U.S.A. know. Did she act with select world leaders to implement an abominable new world order of homo marriage and wars across North Africa and Ukraine? Perhaps not rising to The Secret History (of Procopius) nevertheless in Hillary the public should not trust and that is the way it is-confirming Watson's remarks. Where can one find an honest politician that is competent in ecospheric economics and security while not allegiant to a devil?

Watson page 32-”The mighty power and efficacy that the Word has had upon the souls and consciences of men. It has changed their hearts. Some by reading Scripture have been turned into other men; they have been made holy and gracious. By reading other books the heart may be warmed, but by reading this book it is transformed. 2 Cor 3:3. ‘Ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God.'”

Watson page 32-”so when the seal of the Word leaves a heavenly print of grace upon the heart, there must needs be a power going along with that Word no less than divine. It has comforted their hearts. When Christians have sat by the rivers weeping, the Word has dropped as honey, and sweetly revived them. A Christian's chief comfort is drawn out of these wells of salvation. Rom 15:5. ‘That we through comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.' When a poor soul has been ready to faint, it has had nothing to comfort it but a Scripture cordial. When it has been sick, the Word has revived it. 2 Cor 4:17. ‘Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.' When
it has been deserted, the Word has dropped in the golden oil of joy. Lam 3:3I. ‘The Lord will not cast off for ever.' He may change his providence, not his purpose; he may have the look of an enemy, but he has the heart of a father. Thus the Word has a power in it to comfort the heart. Psa 119:90. ‘This is my comfort in mine affliction; for thy word has quickened me.' As the spirits are conveyed through the arteries of the body, so divine comforts are conveyed through the promises of the Word.”

Private E-Mail to Replace Government Accounts in Government ala' Hillary at State?

One must wonder in light of the revelation that Hillary Clinton while Secretary of State had a private email account to conduct state department business at home why people bother politicians about such things at all? Do the people or the media expect politicians to talk with their Swiss bankers about secret accounts or deposit verification, or talk with foreign suppliers or sex partners on the public dime?

Imagine if Bill Clinton while President had needed to have the public looking into his private communications with swank affairs or secret deals to do what Al Gore called 'making sausage' or if Dick Chaney had to find some way without secret communications to arrange no-bid contracts to Halliburton and other suppliers.

 Hillary Clinton does not of course supports Kant's Categorical Imperative for moral law-where everything that one advocates for a law should work for everyone categorically on a universal level. The reason for the dissent is that while it may be valuable for a particular to break the law, if the law were broken universally it would be no law. Politicians often think of themselves as exceptions to the rule of law-even while they are law enforcement officials-its just the nature of the animal.

Iditarod Should Evolve to Low Carbon Emissions Test Track

This year the Iditarod Dog-Sled Race Started 300 Miles north in Fairbanks because of the lack of snow. Global warming in Alaska has hit early. James Lovelock predicted everyone will need to move up north within 200 years as the south becomes desertified and only 200 million people will survive. While that may stimulate conversions to Christianity it is still reasonable to try to use the Iditarod dog race as a field test track for adapting low carbon emissions technology from the elimination of campfires to space-blanket coats for the dogs.

God loved Jacob and hated Ishmael. Jews got Jesus and Arabs got Mohammed. Calvinistic believe that got pre-determined who would be saved through the grace of God and who would be lost fighting in the desert for wrong causes. It is right to follow when the Spirit calls the elect to give up the ways of the dead and to receive new life in Christ.

Human and animal biological health doesn't actually need machines for crutches though they may have built in pogo-sticks. Though technology is a fine thing it is yet desirable to eliminate high northern latitude carbon emissions as soon as possible and the old ways of just adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere as if Thor and the Valhalla gang really liked a warmer temperature.

The Iditarod should receive N.A.S.A.-quality technical support for becoming a green race in a warmer world leading the way by example across the remaining worldly wilderness trails in conservation and excitement.

In another race over the old Iditarod trail-a bike race with fat tires, one of the racers got 300 miles in a single day. That was fairly remarkable.

http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/mushers-embark-trek-alaska-iditarod-begins-29506028

The ability to adapt to political and environmental challenges intelligently is supposed to be an advantage. Just continuing to burn fossil fuels and campfires around a track isn't really adaptive enough to brighten the prospects for human survival on Earth.

On Spirit and Evolution Theory




Watson's collected sermons in 'Body of Divinity' comprise a catechism in the faith in order that Christians 'may be well-grounded in the faith'. The work is edifying obviously and beautifully written-a permanent edition to one's library that may be read and reread over the years.

Consider that while Thomas Aquinas was a scholastic theologian with a neo-Aristotelian method 'proving' points about God with logic, Thomas Watson was a scriptural theologian using inferences and inductions from scripture to inform readers (or originally listeners to his sermons) of the attributes and purposes of God. I suppose one might find a history of theologians or an encyclopedia of theologians to learn just where Watson's method of theology fits into the history of theology, yet I would guess that the early reformers broke some ground in the development of theological method.

Aquinas' scholastic approach in comparison to Watson's scriptural approach seems somewhat wide of the mark of relevance to Christians, though of course Aquinas was a brilliant theologian who wrote centuries earlier and contributed to the development of methods of using logic in application to theoretical and actual reality. His inductive and inductive reasoning deliberations that consider God phenomenally still serve as a model for consideration of design characteristics to investigate abstract topics.

Recently I encountered a philosophical and cosmological world view of Brian Josephson- the eponymous inventor of the Josephson effect and Josephson junctions (for quantum tunneling)- a Nobel laureate, that resembles G.W.F. Hegel's idea about God realizing himself in history (described in The Phenomenology of Mind). The idea transcends the boundaries of naive evolution vs. creationism quite a bit. Josephson believes that quantum mechanics can evolve its own complexity inclusive of mind, yet his theory stipulates an initial observer starting the development or evolution of a system of evolving quanta that becomes sentient biologically. I want to expand the parameters of the Josephson theoria to extrapolate and explain theological implications.

http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~bdj10/

The physics and what is known of biological systems of aggregating change and in creasing complexity and complex structures appear to support Josephson's thesis that is comparable to a neo-Hegelian evolution of spirit realizing itself in history. Josephson's theory obviates the need for the extra dimensions of M and String theories. In those theories there is a vast number(10 to the 500th power?) of ways of putting dimensions together to form a Universe such as this and hence equally as many mathematical forms to describe it.

In any event once God was, and as God was, with omniscience and omnipotence all potential creations, Universes and evolutions were with God and for-God. Wheeler's ideas about retro-causality would not substantially alter the relationship of God to His being except that it might illustrate an eternal loop of God bootstrapping His existence. I do not prefer that approach. Causal explanations for the being of eternal God just don't seem right.

At any rate though, since God existed He would be able to jump-start any number of possible Universes though they could be designed to evolve like a growing, branching tree. Because God is a sentient mind who may evolve sentient minds in contingent Universes it is likely that as an omniscient mind he foreknows all contingent minds that exist or would exist in any possible Universe. God's being transcends and encompasses all temporal space-time and contingent sentient beings within a given universe.

Though this is a scholastic sort of theological speculation rather than scriptural it is useful to show that evolution theory is not incompatible with God creating the Universe, with physical determinism nor with God continuing a sustaining role knowing the content of all sentient thought within a physically evolving Universe. Alpha through Omega.

Romans 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”

Josephson's theoria has I think primarily a steady state Universe criterion and that steady state Universe and its quantum material are field phenomena that are entangled in a field and that field in an unknowable order (of God I would think). Being certain of the actual physical composition of a meta-field containing the Higg's field and all of the steady-state material in it inclusive of black holes and space-time is unrealistic for some time I would think. One can however be certain of Jesus Christ .

Dropping the Last Letters for History (poem)

They fell like leaves from a tree
the last letter of every word compiling like quick stones
rolling down slope tumbling free
detached from an alphabet with phonemes never home

When I increased the zoom an eagle was waiting
a beak of random eclectic chance
without an electron algorithm
species fell off the ladder too
detached from evolution for silent springs

Rounded letters driven in square holes with a staccatto beat
breathing senseless words of meaningless gists
gathered inertia spent when dropped tops for lay down
with history's dinosaurs, monsters of transistors and quantum conjectures.

Kenneth Gentry's 'Answers to Post-Millennial Objections' etc. (video)

Sitka Sound Commercial Fisherman Hogging Salmon

The ability of technological decimation of Alaska salmon fisheries is plain. Even before the rise of high-tech electronic fish finders the salmon population had crashed a few times from over-fishing with traps. As it is today sports and subsistence fishermen, fisherwomen and fishertransgenders get far too little of the catch left over after the commercial deep-pockets fleet has taken the lion's share, and that just isn't fair.

King salmon stocks are severely strained from over-fishing and invasive species such as Northern Pike brought to Alaska from Minnesota that aggressively killed young salmon in Alaskan rivers. Scientists have stocked salmon ocean migrations with technology and discovered that they go as far north as the Bering Sea in search of cooler waters. It is expensive for subsistence and sports fishermen to travel far in the state to catch some food to eat, while commercial fishermen with cheap gas move themselves and their nets about to cull the health and population out of the beaten-down King salmon. Even the lowly chum salmon is kicked about by commercial fishermen that leave as little as possible for anyone else.

Subsistence fishing should have 25% of the possible catch of all fish and sports fishing 25%. No more than 50% of the fish in the sea should go to concentrated power and wealth commercial fishing interests. Even though subsistence and commercial fishing may allow greater escapement of fish to spawn and rebuild the population since they are not trying to scrape the bottom of the barrel for the benefit of the rich; that is subsistence and sports-fishermen may be content with getting what they need and let natural abundance continue, the commercial fishing fleet are another sort of egoist dollar sign led horde lusting after the last morsel of fish in the sea for-themselves.

If commercial fishermen are restricted to 50% of the harvest the extra escapement should increase the total of fish overall paradoxically increasing the number of fish that even the commercial fishermen catch. If the take allotment of commercial fishermen were reduced more the increase of harvest should be even greater. That is a supply-side fishinomics policy beyond the simplistic 'kill the fish eating ducks' way of hogging the catch as far as possible.
