Britain's Godless Leaders

  With the publication of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species in 1859 Britain set out upon the long downward course of evolution of Christianity. Christianity declined first amidst Protestants and Non-Conformists only later followed by Catholics who did rather well after the collapse of Protestant Christianity.

  Still, as many as 48% of Britishers claim to be Christians. Their leadership however is generally faithless and has one of the largest number of atheists in Europe. Part of the reason that the more educated classes take up Darwin's evolution text as their new gospel is of course the obvious desire to avoid moral concerns about concentrating wealth and power. In effect they have signed off on Marx's judgement that religion is the opiate of the masses, although in the U.S.A. presently real opiates are of epidemic scale.

  There is an historical lag between deep philosophical examination of issues regarding religion in the masses that cannot be concerned with such affairs. They tend to look toward their leaders for good opinion to follow. If the leaders are rather airheads as they often are (General Hindenberg of Germany bragged that he had never read a book in his life), and cannot learn good opinion, then the people as well may be badly informed. In the United States Democrat party atheist militancy has saturated politics such that they too have given up Christian faith to a large extent as well as the political paradigm of the founders in preference for evolution.

   It is not that Darwinian evolution is necessarily false or that Christians must claim it is so. Instead the problem is that evolution is just one hypothetical way of considering ontology and a Universe that may be a Multiverse. Evolution theory does not require that Christianity be falsified, it is the case the unphilosophically minded people with a hatred of Christianity wish it to be the case that Christianity and God must be wrong ideas if evolution is to be true.

  One might compare Evolution theory to a computer operating system and people as bits of data within it that have discovered the architectural principles of the operating system. Some wish that to mean that no other operating system could exist or be dual booted within a computer. Yet it may be that the operating system exists within a greater operating system itself, or that the operating system functions as a holographical and optical system made of photons that haven't anything at all to do with computer hardware-perhaps they are unintended beams of light cast on the shadow f a cave that work logically because of nothing more than a great coincidence in nature, or maybe some clever kid made hand signals in front of a laser beam that generated the effect of an operating system...etc
  God transcends anything in physics in a way larger than the way the Higgs field is prior to and transcends any particle-waves within it comprising the solid-state Universe. People in fact misunderstand what time is commonly; it is an emergent characteristic of the phase changes of particle-waves within the Higgs field and is local.

  God may have created the Universe in seven seconds fully evolved, much less seven days or 13.2 billion years. The Universe could be said to have been created in under a second with an explosion of energy followed by an inflation, yet no one really knows that for sure nor what caused it. There are a zillion theoretical courses and those may nicely fit within the Chinese puzzle box criteria of greater containing causes. It is fun and profitable to be authoritative yet being accurate is also important.

  There are many ways to interpret the Bible too that don't run into obvious Biblical contradictions. Even John 5:39-47 has a parable from Jesus that mentions hell, yet today there are many Christian leaders in denial of that, of of course they are also in denial about the need to reform to become a priesthood of believers.
King James version-
"19There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."

  Because theologians are specialized they tend to lag far behind development of philosophical investigations examining cosmology and scripture. Cosmological-Biblical hermeneutic requires substantial learning that would not be professionally supported, and atheists tend to discard any way of thinking that would determine that Christianity is not necessarily in conflict with cosmology and evolution.

Vishy Anand- World Rapid Chess Champ- faster with age


Chess games are played with various time formats. Classical chess games of more than 90 minutes, rapid chess games (of 20 minutes) and blitz chess (of five minutes) are the major categories of competition for world titles. This year the world rapid chess championship was won by the top active elder pro chess player Vishwanathan Anand of India.

Chess on-line is a rapidly expanding recreational activity. Lichess, Chess.com, Chess24 and Chesstempo and Chess All-Stars are a few of the web sites with free chess game playing.
Some of the younger pro chess players have received professional chess instruction from a very early age-even three years old, and parents have paid as much as $25,000 a year for chess instruction for their progeny hoping that they will become top professional chess players.

Skeptics may say that pro chess is a meaningless recreational activity contributing nothing more than pro tic tac toe of benefit to benefit humanity; I won’t argue the point. It isn’t farming yet it is a good mind activity for the elderly far better than sitting in a darkened room watching television.

Yet chess as an Internet on-line activity has a darker side of age and sex discrimination trash talking. Chess playing does not compel one to get off-board life experience or maturity. One can be a chess punk with a bad attitude. Some use chess like trolls to try to victimize opponents with predatory names and comments. The best remedy is to beat them unemotionally and ignore the whimpering comments of perverse losers.

The youth dominated sport on-line is simply a factor of the recent proliferation of the Internet world wide. Present youth have been able to play on-line chess games for nearly 20 years and the opportunities for free chess learning have increased too, with innumerable videos and pgn game libraries enabling players to watch chess games of openings and matches of the past five-hundred years. There is a lot of trash talking on on-line chess games, and because the present generation has had so much computer assisted learning they have tended to believe that chess like physics is an activity where the very young are best. Vishy Anand as world rapid champion since 28 December has sort of upset that notion.

One of the primary reasons for the advantage of younger chess players at the highest level is that there are more of them and they have all studied the games of the champion in detail while the champion hasn’t been able to study the games of so many younger players in equal detail. It is something like a pyramid where one studies the people above that are fewer in number as one rises, while the guy or gal on top has to study the games of all of those rising, and that is quite a different challenge.

Vishy Anand was the world classical champion follow Garry Kasparov's retirement. Kasparov was best at all three major time controls of chess and when he seemed to be slipping, quit. Anand had been around a very long time before he got his moment to become world classical champion and took it with a special selection match in Rio that determined the vacated world championship title holder. Though he only defended the title a couple of times he never stopped playing after losing the title.

Anand is a very tough player that deserved the title as much as Tigran Petrosian or another of the Soviet chess champs that held the title for just a short time. Not every player is a Kasparov, Karpov, Steinitz, Lasker etc that were at the top for a very long time. After losing the title to Magnus Carlsen the present aging classical chess champ, Anand had the will to win the candidates tournament and play a rematch with Carlsen. Winning the candidates tournament is no easy feat. The former world number two player Levon Aronian who is one of the highest rated chess players in history tried five times and failed. Anand gets credit for going back to win the candidates tourney.

After playing and losing twice to Carlson in the world classical championship Anand may have decided not to waste time trying again. He did not make the 2018 candidates tournament field. Instead he may have prepared for the rapid chess competition and ended up being World Champion. That is remarkable considering his age and shows his determination and strategy for to winning.

Occasionally people wish that Garry Kasparov would return to the chess arena as he did in 2017 briefly in a match in St. Louis. If Kasparov were to focus on just one chess time control such as rapid or blitz and entered numerous competitions he probably would be a contender for a world title in his 50s. If narrowly focused apparently one can continue winning chess to old age if one has the desire to do so.

I didn’t play a first complete chess game until age 57 and made fair progress at blitz chess discovering that the major problem is just Internet speed and time delays that can create quite a disadvantage. My blitz high score of 1430 was hit a couple of years ago in a public library in Oklahoma that had good Internet speed. Riding a bike around the nation looking for work and playing on-line chess sometimes isn’t the quickest way to advance yet blitz chess is something like ping pong with complex vector spaces and trajectories with 16 balls instead of just one. It’s a good way to relax and to exercise the mind, off-road.

Cold Wet Chrome in Gray Sky


If one cannot recall the sight
of sounds rippling upon time waves
when ideas of ever become never being still
born dreams flying clocks tightly saved
winding down

Then it is found something right left
disappeared for thousands of nights
in world’s shadow of power echoes laughing
a way particles past present and future
so much greater and lesser than neither
being and nothingness or
space and rhymes about it
with lists of plans sown in earthly furrows
for people that for a time held the plows
to sharp lines taken by the rains since
erased mornings and yesterday’s produce
building tosses sprouted as ground cover
plant structures for others
that wouldn’t know so many simultaneous memories
from origins to finite ends
with red technicolor notes of the surreal
like the Multiverse resting on pinpoint.


Jim Crowe's Gender Segregated Toilets


The city of Anchorage has itself experienced the Jim Crowe system of toilet segregation for some time. Men and women are sexually segregated, perhaps to engender some sort of supremacist and inferioricist social control. Frankly, toilets are agents of social conditioning.

American potty training for the moral equivalent of racial segregation based on gender begins very early. Ending sexually segregated toilets can evolve, just as tax rates may be evolved to higher and lower levels by the Congress who will act according to the desire of the rich.

In some nations men and women don’t have segregated toilets with special mens only and womens only eliminators. People that aren’t lucky enough to have water-closet toilets may just poop in a trench or piss on a wall even during torrential ranges or desert storms. They have not had the social opportunity to evolve specially gender segregated human waste elimination facilities.

Americans can of course liberate their public bowel and political movements by ending segregated toilets. That may require some great amount of architectural design and creativity. Maybe all people could use sit-down toilettes or stand-up toilets as they prefer. Already women have been given the opportunity to purchase stand-up appliances that enable them to urinate without squatting or sitting down. Individual stand-up urinals could have screens so workmen would not need to have their appliance shaped like a penis bigger than those of males stand-ups.

Individual entrances and exits to the waste removal staging area where full-bladdered people strutting and fretting their hours without relief or challenged to liberate their solid waste urgently could replace the girl’s club or boys club atmosphere that trans-gender people want to be able to eliminate at will on either side they choose. Innovating architecture and waste removal design meets resistance from those segregationists that want women to feel inferior about not hanging with the guys segregated in female-only relief facilities. Advertisers running ads deprecatory to women in men-only toilet clubs may resist too simply because of tradition and profit margin. Architects and waste removal engineers may experience the redesign of toilets of mind-boggling complexity yet change may slowly occur with constructive engagement of new facilities that let men and women sit equally on microwave or incinerate waterless toilets as they choose to stand up or sit down as the case may be.

The President and U.S. Energy Greatness


The President and U.S. Energy Greatness

For President Trump to make progress toward making American energy great again he shall want to establish solar power production across the land so far as to enable most buildings to go off the grid of global collectivist corporatism that Americans pay rent to for life. Solar power and free electrons from the star of God’s creative brilliance is the way to outlast cycles of oil price and supply swings. .

The President has not been a leader in advancing solar power to the roofs and exterior walls of the nation’s buildings where it should be a top energy producer, in daylight hours, for much of the land. Electricity produced on the spot from solar photons hasn’t got a down side, and it would save a fortune on expensive copper wiring used in so many structures as levels could produce abundant energy for l.e.d. lighting and office machines. The President knows construction and buildings and could move the nation to the front of production of independent energy from solar and fuel cell electron production on-site.

Though Sect. Of Energy Pruitt lowered the bar recently on fuel mileage requirements because it was too high for aged oil policies desired by Eco-yippees, solar energy and electric cars including electrical power lines embedded in concrete Interstate highways for in-line recharging, could have brought the nation to a position of even less reliance on foreign sources of oil.

For the nation to be great in producing more energy cleanly than it ever has before, the production and installation of solar cells must be synergized with the transition to electric powered cars and I suppose hydrogen too (if enough pressure can be put on water to make something of a metallic diamond out of it. Actually I have no idea about how hydrogen metal is made, yet I wonder what happens when one puts water under 10,000 p.s.i. of pressure (I suppose scientists already know the answer to that)). America cannot be great again if it just follows OPEC economics and relies on ancient transport theories more than a century old as if the nation were a museum etc.

The President has chosen to give the American solar panel industry some help by putting a tariff on cheap foreign imports yet that doesn’t go nearly far enough to advance the nation into off-grid energy independence leadership in sustainable clean energy production.



Facebook Shock; Chimaerical Exploit of Data!



When Facebook ultra—honcho Mark Zuckerberg allowed Oxbridge Analytica to exploit user data with the betrayal of human trust being revealed only with congressional probes into alien influences on American elections a red line in the Rubicon was crossed letting commercial, global corporate powers obtain information about Americans that they shouldn’t have.

Americans have gone to great length to conceal the facts about themselves from the public on Zuckerberg’s Facenook. Taking the lead of the Obama administration in keeping American medical data away from corporate health and insurance providers with connections to the Internet and even the Kremlin via back channels of oligarch investments in American corporations, congress has made sure thus far that no information about Americans such as property ownership, credit rating and so forth is ever published. If one lives in Miami Florida and wants to find out how much credit a business in Alaska qualifies for one must go and take a look at a library reference book, and that keeps data away from the prying fingers of Euros and Chinese seeking to take over weak, vulnerable business prey in the U.S.A.

In an old American political tradition from the heartland, the Cohokian civilization's new political rulers executed the prior leader and family and probably those of any rivals in a beautiful ceremony with mass decorative clubbing and mass burials right alongside the fine clay spear-chucking courts in the national square of the great pyramid. While the United States has lost track of many venerable political traditions including independence regarding foreign trade agreements, it hasn’t previously gone so far as to allow a President to have the office of his personal lawyer raided and sacked by a special investigator trying to show globalists that the nationalist-leaning President is really in the bag like the usually banal and evil faceless bureaucrats occupying the job. Special investigator concerned I n executing his probe to find the President’s hidden Russian connections probably will not choose to raid Chairman Zuckerberg’s personal lawyer's office to find his hidden Russian connections to so many Russian advertisers on Facial-book and those of the heartland are glad for that.

The power of corporatism to pursue profits must never be impinged. As public capital of forests and fish are overused and reduced in quantity they actually become more valuable as financial capital when transferred to private capital concentrations.

As U.S. public capital is degraded and as the King salmon of the North pacific are eliminated gradually, while some kind of 7-year moratorium of King salmon fishing should be agreed on and defended by Russia, Canada and the U.S.A. to let the fish recover to 1880 levels for old times sake before the oceans become to acidic and warm to allow any salmonids to live at all it is good to know that private capital—an abstract item instead of a natural ecological item-increases in number even though concentrated in the accounts of fewer and fewer souls.

Very slick operators in politics sometimes unite with media syndicates to control public encounters with data. Broadcast media are a global organized criminal network in some respects, though it depends on what the meaning and enforcement of criminal is I would venture. Plainly though every local network radio station is not really a local entity so much as a surveillance and control tool for globalists. It is shocking to learn that Facebook too may in some way serve the rich and hand off big data to bigger data miners and processors that use everything one posts against one as if it were a hall of lawyers mirrored recursively with real and unreal doors of real and fake data hiding hidden connections to Russians and dimensions unknown to anyone besides Wall Street’s quantitative trading computers in hidden dark pools deeply underground wear the hidden web is like water flowing in the melon bolsa underneath the Tex-Mex and New Mexican borders without congressional oversight.

In the Strawberry Fields code room thousands of tiny mirrors mechanically align and reflect data given particular time coordinates to move and concatenate fine portions of data that senselessly form a complete message if the right alignments are ordered. Nothing real ever exists of the content than thousands of tiny pieces redistributed to shiny, gossamer image reflecting surfaces that never reappear without the most felicitous of directions from the Grand designer. Every data entered forms a meaningful portion of an infinite number of meaningful illusory messages of which just one is intentionally true and readable just by the special Russian hacker the Grand designer intended to allow into the most secure of legal facilities. It is unfortunate however that no real message or record ever did exist and that the mechanical aspects of the machine were no more than analogues for hidden data structures and methods potentially useful to in the book of changes.




Corporatism and Government Fronts

Capitalism unchecked evolves to monopoly. Capital is abstract value and competition for capital concentrates capital. Sympathetic wealthy corporatists desire power over government and a symbiotic government-capitalist relationship develops. Government passes laws in favor or concentrated wealth, unfettered capitalism and corporatism develops replacing democracy.

Corporatism as a global power association of the most wealthy plutocrats finds sycophantic government proxy rulers in any nation and form of government. Even Communist elites will find symbiotic stake holding in global corporate power.

Capitalism does not stop with global corporatism though. Corporatism is just another phase of the life cycle of capitalism on the way toward global monopoly.

Capitalism is not the same as free enterprise. Free enterprise requires capital for production, yet democracy can cap the concentration of wealth or capital produced with free enterprise and shifting some privately generated capital to public capital such as infrastructure and ecosphere reconstruction where it comprise a percent of all public capital including natural wilderness and water resources. Ecosphericly sympatico business and eco-zoning paradigmata may be promulgated.

Capitalism that is private seeks to redistribute public capital to private capital until no public capital exists or if tolerated comprises less than 1% of national capital.

Private capital in competition with private citizens too seeks to concentrate private capital in the most few who will in turn fight to the death to control the capital of all rivals until just one winner exists-as in the game of monopoly perhaps.

Private capital has no interest in externalities such as the environment that cannot turn a profit or bring in abstract capital. In fact because scarce resources are more valuable as capital sometimes, capitalist can profit even if global warming and mass extinction reduce all life on earth to just a few people who will pay great sums for oxygen to breathe or rare species to eat. Some day a trillionaire might sign over his half of the planet Earth for the chance to eat the last grass-fed cow.

Free enterprise and capitalism directed with enlightened democratic governments concerned with public well-being are the better utilization of world resources to produce inventions from more creative minds of benefit to humanity. Guaranteed minimum income of $6000 annually for instance, could keep seven young minority men from the desperation that causes them to commit crimes sometimes for a revenue stream, for the cost of sending just one young man to jail at an annual cost of $40,000. Free public education through college and a guaranteed minimum income along with the reduction of patent exclusivity to three years with just 10% royalties for patent holders thereafter would let every citizen have some confidence that they can find a way to use their creative mind productively during their lifetime and not be bogged down in repressive or inescapably oppressive economic-social currents.

With the environment being an externality to capitalists it is necessary to cap the percent of national income any individual pay own if public sector conservation and rehabilitation measures are to be effective. Presently conservationists may save a forest or wilderness reserve for a decade with substantial political work, yet that effort may be undone in just one session of Congress allowing exploitation or harvesting of that conserved natural wealth. Fundamentally conservation is a losing ecological gamble with the odds favoring ecosphere destruction. The way to give the edge to conservation is to shift national capital ratios as well as private capital distribution such that habitat conservation and rehabilitation are favored and democracy with free enterprise for all citizens pragmatically possible without the existence of the most extreme versions of capitalism leading to monopoly.

It may be too late though. Capitalism is blind to externalities, apparently as is the public.





Evolution- the Natural History of Extinctive Behavior


After the fall of modern human morality rising with dissemination of Charles Darwin’s opus ‘On the Origin of Species’ a plethora of ideas and interpretations about the form and meaning of evolution theory grew amidst the literati and government leaders that flowered like a thousand forms of ragweed as well as sober scientific data. Many came to view evolution as an inevitable progressive ascent of mankind. The fact of natural history-an earlier name for evolution history of life on Earth- that for every continuing biological line there probably were countless others that went extinct, generally did not trouble humanity that viewed the future with rose-colored glasses.

Especially for those that felt oppressed by traditional Christian morality (that was in itself usually misunderstood and already instead conformed to model certain forms of secular social organization rather than that of a priesthood of believers) evolution became a secular license to abandon all morality while developing the idea that any sort of previously immoral behavior leads to progress as a higher state is evolved. That human behavior too can readily be extinctive behavior leading to the extirpation of individuals or even the entire race didn’t enter into the evolution-as-amoral-goodness-leading-to-progress way of thought.

One might wonder about evolution in the natural history of the Universe or Multiverse and ask what role life has in it? Every physical process since the start of the Universe has occurred inevitably as a result of prior physical states of mass and energy. There were no accidents nor randomization about the phase changes in the Universe that occurred throughout it from the first instant of existence. A unified physical force presumably part of a larger unified force somehow was released into the void. It broke down into the Universe-spanning forces of nature in existence today allowing numerous smaller particles and wave forms to exist.

Gravity aggregated much of the mass together to form stars, elements and planets, at some point more complexity or breaking down of the initial somewhat monopolar unified field/force let life exist. Life is a stage in the way of the natural history of the Universe that inevitably unfolds; yet one wonders what its role is and what phase change follows.

Jesus Christ said that unless a seed is buried in cannot grow. He may have been speaking about his own life and resurrection. It is possible that he was also speaking about the role of life in the evolutionary Universe. The teleology of life may be to give rise to sentience and spirit reborn with faith unto a higher stage of progress.

Evolution of life in a Universe that does not give rise to spirit would be in a conundrum of paradox. Though it can produce complexity in phase with the general physical direction of the breakdown of the initial unified force, the complexity endangers its existence and may be self-negating.

Life on Earth today is in what natural historians call the Anthropocene Era (of mass extinction). Human beings are bringing perhaps the largest mass extinction of species on Earth to fruition. If biological diversity that enables a variety of forms to exist that may allow some or even one species to adapt to new environmental challenges is eliminated by human beings, life’s chances of surviving environmental challenges are much reduced. In fact, if humanity is the sole large mammal that remains on Earth eventually and humanity must successfully adapt to environmental change and cannot, then the last mammal will perish too.

It may have been the evolutionary biologist Jay Gould who wrote that the most successful life form on Earth is the simplest and most numerous- one that can survive nearly any environmental change. If I remember correctly it was simple prokaryotic, multi-cellular life form. The complexity of larger organisms through evolution make them more vulnerable to extinction. Present human activities on the planet exemplify the problem.

The Lord Jesus Christ replied when asked once when he would return for his third coming (His resurrection and appearance to his disciples was the second coming of Christ) that it would be when the Age of the Gentiles was fulfilled. The time of the fullness of human life on the Earth could be taken to mean several things including the time it is most populous on Earth with no prospects left for survival because of over-population, or it could mean when humanity has served its purpose of birthing souls destined for eternal life through salvation through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is difficult to know exactly what he meant when there are several alternate and equally valid meanings that might be given to interpretation.

Evolution theory brought many to simply abandon theological interest and faith in God. That is rash as is the assumption that evolution is inconsistent with Biblical creation; it isn’t at all an a wrote and that topic in a couple of books. One is free to download named God, Cosmology and Nothingness. What is rash is overlooking the meaning and structure of evolution as it pertains to human life and its role in existence. In no way does evolution entail the necessity of human progress toward a secular Valhalla of immorality and hedonistic fulfillment. Humanity should not abandon rational thought about finding the best ways to adapt to existence on Earth given the phenomena of biological life and limited natural resources. Self-determining philosophical failure or neglect to comprehend the multifarious and complex mechanisms of evolution and its place in natural history would tend to doom the prospects for human life on Earth rather than support them.

If humanity needs to adapt free enterprise creative and the distribution of private and public capital to perpetuate human life in an optimal way then it must. If halting environmental loss of bio-diversity and habitat is necessary then humanity cannot afford to wait until it is lost to respond to the challenge. There are innumerable ways to fail along the lines of evolution rather than a few. In fact humanity cannot theoretically determine its own place in natural history comprehensively any more than one can create a set of all sets including itself per Kurt Godel’s incompleteness theorems. The hubris of belief that one can entirely determine human species destiny as a self-reinforcing philosophy of greed is not reasonable to keep. However humanity may be unable to meet the ecospheric challenges of adapting its social and economic needs to the natural and social realties it experiences these days. Leadership is lacking thanks to the profusion of bad eschatology and the godless drift of the Democrat party under the amoral philosophy of evolution. Democrats acquiesced with devolution to membership in business-owned union sycophancy under corporatist leadership.

The shift of private capital into the control of a tiny minority is itself destructive as is the destruction of secure national boundaries and properties of rights under the aegis of godless corporatism and miscellaneous social collectives. He challenges of comprehending evolution and Christianity simultaneously are great for a world population increasing too quickly toward ecospheric breakdown. That too may be the very next phase though it seems insufficient for the purpose of life in a theology of natural history.

There are many directions for humanity and political economy to take along the evolutionary line that are wrong. Maybe there are fewer that are right or that lead to survival. It is difficult to know prospectively rather than retrospectively what economic and political lines would work effectively and support human happiness too given the challenging economic, environmental and socio-political challenges for avoiding mass extinction of all mammalian life on Earth. Evolution is a backward looking science. Its use as a forward-looking political ideology isn’t well-suited.

As a phase of matter, evolution has no meaning beyond whatever teleological values humanity may infer that God provides for it. For-itself as an empirical idea evolution is entirely meaningless. It is a state akin to the oriental concept of joss such that whatever is, is.

Transhumanist theorists may exploit some Darwinian ideas of progress and of directing evolution yet directed evolution by humanity hasn’t any right direction. A thousand different designs could be said to be equally right or wrong even though they are in complete conflict as anti-thesis to one another. The complete complex of compresent anti-thesis of evolution in-itself is an evolutionary state of affairs as meaningless as any of the individual directions being developed, and each have reciprocals interacting with and evolving in relation to each directed evolutionary vector of human design. Fundamentally it is better to use the word evolution with less liberality than it is presently applied to virtually any desire to change social structures where the implication is that it advances biological Darwinian progress to a higher state. People may entirely evolve beyond an ideal state or into a deleterious and extinctive state as readily as moving toward a superior position viewed of course, subjectively. It is better simply to reason with classical virtue and philosophy toward good political and economic affairs respective of God and the concept of divine grace, providence and trust that honest work and due diligence are the better efforts even while respecting individual rights of others as much as mackerel respective the space of other mackerel schooling in the sea.







What Philosophy Iz?


Philosophy is a way of developing new ideas. There are perennial questions philosophers and others have asked and continue to ask such as what the meaning of life is. Some of those questions have been answered and some may never be answered. Philosophy is a way of developing questions and answers for challenges that may not already exist. Often the data is abstract yet one may also consider purely empirical issues.

An example could be in fisheries management. One of America’s largest rivers, the Stikine of S.E. Alaska, had so few king salmon returning this year (in 2018) (to spawn) that all fishing was closed. The pitifully low number of 740 fish to repopulate a river that formerly had hundreds of thousands or millions could not be reached. Fishermen, politicians and others can’t manage the fishery well at all. A philosopher might suggest practical ways to restore the fishery such as working with Russia and Canada to halt all fishing for king salmon across the North pacific, Alaska, Canada and Siberia for seven years to let the fishery recover and limiting the annual harvest after restoration. Though it is a realistic plan politically it is unfeasible. A philosopher might further inquire into the reasons why.

Philosophers may classify all knowledge into fields that seem appropriate places to file the data. The history of ideas has many divisions. Philosophical inquiries perhaps occupy just a fraction of those.

Ways of thinking about ideas and the objects that are represented in ideas about objects are a basis for reviewing the nature of ideas human beings have about objects, occupational activities and knowledge built up in technical work. Over time technical work can build up quite a lot of material. Non-philosophical writers may express the knowledge of technical fields in books or tracts.

Technical writings describing occupations and scientific data and methods can be voluminous. Fields such as metallurgy and auto mechanics sit beside astronomy and ocean diving, botany and anatomy. In times past philosophers among other examined many of those technical works and brought concepts from them together to form synthetic and new interdisciplinary ideas.

That brings me to the essence of this essay on what philosophy is. That is it is more than simple technical writings in the field of philosophy known mostly to historians of philosophy and some academic philosophers pursuing those technical fields such as ethics and logic. Philosophy is also an activity that examines data from several disciplines to construct new ideas. It is a process quite like one method of making inventions. The inventor researches and studies up a lot of scientific and technical material and lets his mind and subconscious combine the ideas to form something new. A philosopher can research several academic disciplines such as theology, philosophy and cosmology and write about ideas that are newly combined at least for the philosopher and comprise a synthetic, non-methodical approach to writing an essay or developing a different perspective with a unique or nearly unique point of view.

In the United States occupational speculation does not permit much time for interdisciplinary research. Even academic people tend to need to remain within their field of specialization. An historian for instance would need to find an elaborate explanation for why he or she spent most of their time studying insects instead of Western Civilization if that was their area of educational responsibility. Philosophers shouldn’t have any problem like that.

In fact philosophers might consider the role of insects on various stages of western civilization or the way music corrupted it, if it did, when it became fashionable among aristocrats. Philosophers might combine history with anthropology and sociology to ask if Aristotle’s politics was anything besides meaningless speculation of no interest to ordinary people or even royals for nearly 2000 years after he wrote about the cycles from democracy to tyranny.

Philosophy can be simply the construction of interdisciplinary essays about virtually anything drawing from material that already exists within field specialization to construct or invent something new. In doing so they may find more things true.

Mueller and 45; The Interminable Election Cloud


Special Council Robert Mueller has a been investigating President Trump since May 2017; nearly a year, and the lengthy process itself is starting to interfere with the election cycle. Hopefully the Special Council would conclude the investigation after a year has passed in time to allow the mid-term election to pass without being under the dark cloud of suspicion of one party's leader colluding with the traditional main enemy of Wall Street.

It may not have been a good idea to appoint a former head of the F.B.I. To investigate the President who had shortly before fired a head of the F.B.I.; James Comey. That itself presented a form of the appearance conflict of interest. If a union boss had been fired by a CEO perhaps appointing a former union boss to lead an investigation into the CEO's affairs would be the brightest way to go.

F.B .I. Chief Comey seemed to interfere in the 2016 election process with his unusual timing of the release of investigations into Candidate Hillary Clinton's loose private e-mail server and statements about her was exonerated or not. It was discovered eventually that one her her hard drives with the record of emails was erased without a good reason why. Former Chief Mueller duplicating former Chief Comey's history of F.B.I. election influence is an unfortunate emergent condition contributing to the public opinion about the veracity of U.S.A. Democracy. Creating dubiously non-partisan investigations that do not cohere with the idea of due process of law so far as reasonable timeliness goes that have a real affect on voter decisions probably should not occur just because it is popular with a broadcast media and opposition party to do so. In the Watergate burglary there were plain overt felony crimes to be investigated to start with rather than a broad effort to implicate anyone connected to the President in any sort of crimes, while the President himself hasn't been shown to have done any sort of criminal activity for-himself.


A Partisan intifada to protest the election result seems  a banana republic. sort of political event instead of one of speedy and transparent legal procedures.
