Morphing Weapons Forms with 3D Printing

Weapons design has changed quite a lot with modern technological changes. Small arms such as pistols and long guns traditionally have been forged and fired cast bullets with gun-powder. Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative developed electro-magnetic accelerators to launch smart pebbles and that paradigm was applied to make emg pistols, rifles and even cannon. The invention of 3D materials printers is another paradigm shift for small arms manufacture.

Not only can 3d printers be used to manufacture weapons designs in innumerable forms, they can also be made part of the weapons themselves bringing the prospect of manufacturing any caliber of ammunition a weapon requires from a supply of material in the field along with the capacity to manufacture a barrel of a different caliber.

3D printers are potentially something like a manufacturing black box that can create any sort of weapon of a limited size almost immediately. There are many other uses for 3D printers of course. It will be useful to recognize that several gun laws will become obsolete as universal 3D printers and electro-magnetic accelerated bullets become ubiquitous. Perhaps other ways of preventing gun crimes should be pursued, such as greater accuracy in personal security for every individual citizen of the United States

Trump Administration Should Get Tighter With Iran

Good foreign policy for the United States is good business. Founding international relations on good faith regarding goals to achieve and build socially productive interactions with Iran is something the United States Government should feel a bit of an obligation to develop. It is not alway easy since Iran has good reasons historically to distrust the United States after its great betrayal during the Eisenhower administration. The U.S.A. supported a coup that got rid of the elected government and put in an absolute monarch who had a viscous secret police agency that tortured Iranian citizens.

Iran traditional had three parts of society comprising its politics; religion, military and populism. The United States unbalanced the internal relations of those forces that were evolving after a fashion before the coup. While Israel is probably right that Iran was trying to develop nuclear weapons in recent times that should not be a reason to quit trying to have cordial relations with Iran and work to eliminate secret police forces in Iran and other middle Eastern countries that disappear and torture people without a semblance of justice such as one would expect from a democratic government. Neither Iran nor Israel are aristocracies with embedded royalty and the United States should expect each nation to refrain from torturing its own citizens as any civilized nation should.

There are innumerable ways to monitor nuclear developments and work to prevent them in regard to Iran. most of those follow along peaceful interactive social lines that should continue even if the Trump administration wants to impose some new sanctions for some reason because the President doesn't like the deal that President Obama made. The U.S.A. ought to reasonably find ways to let Americans become involved in business in Iran on a normal basis if possible, and the President should work to encourage Iran to end any sort of authoritarian style arrests of foreigners for political reasons that creates quite a damper on western social norms for travelers.

Israel has good reasons to worry about terrorist Muslims and state terrorism of course given their location and the enemy at the gates nature of things. In some respects peaceful stability for all their Muslim neighbors is ironically what Israel must work for, since the Muslim middle east so often prefers war and even civil war and the domestic state terrorism of authoritarian governments and police agencies to egalitarianism in economic and environmental affairs.

President Trump recently appointed a homosexual ambassador to Germany. One trusts that he is aware that would be rather offensive to a Muslim nation. Maybe Germany like England is happy with that sort of thing, yet the movement toward sin the U.S. Supreme Court made is indicative of a deeper problem the U.S. Government has regarding trust and good intentions. President Trump will be suspected by some I would guess of trying to further the homosexual agenda on select Muslim nations at the behest of certain business and elitist social elements. As if it wasn’t difficult enough to keep the blood bottled in the area as it is.

On Planetary Demographics, Ecosphere, Ethics and Moral Issues (fiction)

Carla asked Solomon Eban about the sociopology rationale for Calvin Luther-Caesar’s people’s reason for exodus from their former world; “Solomon, what were a few of the practical reasons that brought your exo-planetary reformation? I am a sociopologist when not an observer of monstrous Aristarch attacks.”

“Yes Carla. There are numerous causus beli for the exodus that I can tell you about while we travel from here to a surface site that I feel may draw some opposition-force interest

Marriages became a progressive mockery of the initial life duration heterosexual monogamy. The line between marriage and prostitution blurred. Eventually they reduced to pay-by-the-hour conjugation permits from licensed government vendors.

We tried legislating the end of prostitution with a cashless society that would keep a transparent record of every financial transaction in a society founded upon ecological economics and reformed capitalism that supplied all basic human needs and provided some start-up capital for everyone to invest in research to have a chance to get a project actualized through approval of a social board reviewing ecospheric value to social order and progress. There were far too many obstructions for that to work though, and the most rich owned and controlled every agit-prop outfit.

Humans were troubled with any sort of meaning or responsibility and sought to live in a cellular condition. Homosexuals became an analogue of lysergic hydrochloric acid agents of nihilism destroying the vestiges of integral cellular citizenship eroding the properties of rights and privacy of individuals- the future Aristarchs abhor individual human rights for non-elites.

The end game of earth-like planet economics became too plain. Human demographics showed increase of population over time. The world had finite surface area, ecosphere and natural resources hence economists like Malthus and Ricardo foresaw problems. That paradigm hasn’t gone away though the misguided space operas with faster-than-light ships trivialize the reality of Earth. That generation may be said to have forged the end game of Earth.

It is a tale with two primary outcomes; one is of sound and fury signifying nothing and the other is a reasoned stabilization at a level of maximum productive stability. They believe that development should continue irresponsibly as if they were in a child’s playground of delights with sweets of light crude oil under every wildlife refuge for ever. There’s is a tale told by idiots signifying dystopia, deforestation and the death of most species of mammals on Earth-like worlds.

Every generation that has a 1% annual rate of economic or population growth at the end of 30 years has about a 33% per generation increase. The law of accumulation is ignored by the ignorant. Over a century the increase is thousands, and that law of accumulation applies to demographics as well. Thousands of times of increase on Earth-like planets without a capacity to provide even a fraction of the natural resources is a pattern that will repeat on countless worlds. When we build a new world of Earth size these days we may begin with a construction population of 10 billion yet soon thereafter reduce population for the new planet through measured one birth per family for a few generations to the normal carrying capacity for an Earth world of two billion. Some of the extra population may relocate to construct another world. It is normal that each new world has an optimal ration of humans per surface area for production and a healthy ecosphere simultaneously.

We know in retrospect that as the age of the gentiles is being fulfilled the human race has expanded its construction of living ecospheres as if they were meta-terrariums in a myriad of forms beyond the solar system’s moons and planets and wherever possible across the 100 thousand light year in diameter galaxy. There is no pre-tribulation eschatology that is valid unless humans force their own disaster even if it the Aristarchs that are the source of disaster. The philosophy of personal egoism drives forward proximate short term advantage for a minority even over the existence of everyone.

Populations cannot achieve zero population growth static stability then experience a flood of immigrants to replace them without causing more damage to social infrastructure and the ecosphere. With a calm draw-down of population growth while technology and education of the masses increases world ecospheres could be directed to recover and new opportunities for building off-world ecospheres explored. It is important to begin building terrarium ecospheres with as much wildlife from Earth-like worlds as possible to improve the art. Innovative ideas for moons and planets can bring new ways of letting life flourish including new human populations intelligently designed to be in appropriate numbers for the new ecospheres.

Adroit political management rather than coercion need be the political method for stabilizing human populations as it bides its time before increasing again in new ecospheric regions it learns to build. Those ecospheres should be as robust and teeming with life as that God gave unto mankind rather than depleted of it. There is a time to grow a population and a time to hold fast or even decrease. Sometimes, fortunately rarely for politicians, conservative, sober rectitude is requisite for species survival.

Population wasn’t the sole or even primary problem Carla. There is a failure of any sort of ethics in the evolution derived philosophies even if evolution is itself contingently factual.

Ethics and moral norms die within modern evolution culture. It is amusing to consider how far the demise of morality and ethics go, for there is no basis for preferring one moral order over another on the basis of necessity, except as one believes in a natural law and necessary moral order inferred from that. Logicians and ethicists might argue however that any ethics of evolution based on natural law is forced by circumstance and without coherent or compelling necessity.

Some evolutionary scientists that are militant atheists have argued that the sole moral value or imperative is passing on genes. Of course they are entirely wrong about that. It is not at all necessary to pass on genes, and one outcome of evolution is as valid in its entire, complete meaninglessness as any other. Life is itself meaningless and nothing more than sound and fury signifying nothing as Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet.

If evolution ethics is less meaningful if possible than that of Buddhism, it is interesting to consider some of the formulations possible with the meaninglessness. If we give symbols for various ethical systems and consequences, moral orders and etc and put them into a mathematical logic expression the results return 0 for meaning, * equals multiplication or process of regard by Evolution...

i.e. Evo * morality = 0

Evo * moral system 1 to infinity= 0

Evo * political ethics = 0

Evo * environmental conservation = 0 etc.

Assuredly people can make moral systems and orders themselves and sometimes even collectively yet the result is still meaningless. Power may be meaningful yet the end result of power and politics is meaninglessness. As a Christian I believe in a coherent divine ethics and grace of God yet for evolutionary atheists that is a non sequitur.

I was motivated to note the meaninglessness of evolution in its own logic wherein everything that exists is phenomenal and a fluke, godless and a kind of joke upon itself, after noting a history paper taking an indirect shot at Christians via environmentalism. Actually the most important role of Christians is to talk about the Lord Jesus Christ. Scientists should be concerned more with science instead of religion yet as they generally have the polarizing filter of atheism that moves them to view religion as a sociological phenomenon it is irresistible for contemporary scientific evolution based atheists not to try to rid the world of Christians and their ethics as if it would be a better place.

Evolution is however completely godless in the scientific, atheist point of view, even though some Christian philosophers regard God as quite capable of evolving anything he deems worth evolving at any time before or after any given Universe he [plans to actually mortal human life in at some point. Scientific evolutionist-atheists today believe the entire concern is one of a requirement that all be atheists because evolution is true and evolution requires a world without God, and that is not logically valid either.

I would suggest that the value of meaningfulness in nature and meaningfulness in words and ideas have some natural validity. Words and ideas have meaning in communication. Valid communication isn’t meaningless and neither is the truth or falsity of expression or words representing ideas. In fact it is challenging to prove the meaninglessness of the Universe and everything in it when sentient beings finding meaning in things, and it becomes churlish to deny in theory the existence of any being greater than humanity or other biologically based life. Evolution-atheists cannot tolerate any sort of immaterial nature of meaning and thought, spirit or values based on spirit though there are some intellectual hazards in attempting to do so. Semiotics must leads to quarks or strings ultimately and meaning must vanish into meaninglessness as a Universe must too even if only to reappear in a cyclic tree of infinite Universe blossoming.

Modern science while being technologically strong is also morally indefensible. That is it hasn’t a shred of ethical validity within its own logic, and that’s the way they want it.

On Galaxies and Extra-Terrestrial Life (fiction)

©2018 Garrison Clifford Gibson

There are galaxies such as the Milky Way that have existed in various forms from very early in the history, actually not to far after the inception of the Universe. Some of the stars; fewer than 30%, are remnants of that early age when the Universe was less than a half billion years old. Red dwarf stars burn slowly and fade away at a pace more slowly than the time required for the black hole called Sagittarius A needs to consume all of the remaining stars of the galaxy.

The Milky Way resembles in form, a starfish with four main tentacles and a few lesser that are irregularly structured with fractals of millions of stars about which commonly, orbit planets from gas giants to small rocky worlds. Sagittarius A is like a mouth at the center of the tentacles drawing its arms back into itself for destruction. That is, it is a masochistic self-hating nihilist bringing about its own destruction, though it may well be that it envisions itself as a kind of auto-immune disorder that will transform all normal mass into something else, something greater, after it consumes and annihilates everything that exists. In some respects a black hole is a role model for the Aristarch class of human.

Because of Newton’s inverse square law of gravity regarding distance and force, or better put in terms of Einstein’s curvature of space expressed in general relativity, the spiral arms of the Milky Way swirl around the horrendous hungry mouth at the center of the wonderful whirlpool drawing every bit of matter in the galaxy to destruction; it is a predictable wheel of fortune with a predestined end; unless the galaxy is lucky enough to be disrupted by collision with another galaxy drifting into its path bringing millions of stars in wrenching whipsaws tossed into reorganization like anarchic union remnants placing themselves in new alignments of convenience. Destiny may slingshot individual stars into extreme orbits beyond the edge of the galaxy, even through the galactic halo into the darkness of true intergalactic space.

Humanity's search for sentient alien life had existed for several thousand years already and none of that was ever found, for a simple reason. Sentient life forms that were smart enough to reach beyond their own biological nursery soon realized that the primary role of primitive life that is the consumption of other life for its energy and tastiness made concealment of their awakened intelligence from other advanced species a priority if they were to survive. The latent characteristics of all biological life may not disappear when it achieved an advanced form of intelligence.

Species that gambled with their existence and broadcast their development loud and clear for the galaxy and Universe to encounter were soon snuffed as rival sentient beings. Sometimes they were actually consumed as new species of ate on alien menus. Sometimes newly awakened species camouflaged their presence from the Universe and had a good chance for survival. Though the Universe appeared devoid of alien, sentient life, it was not. Many lived within double-hulled spheres surrounding red dwarf stars that burned at 4000 degrees Fahrenheit for eleven trillion years- fairly cheap and sustainable batteries for warming worlds.

The Expansion of the Universe (fiction)

©2018 Garrison Clifford Gibson

“The expansion or hyper-inflation of the Universe sir; how did that happen?”

“I am not a physical cosmologist John yet I’ll tell you what I know of the subject as I understand it. I will also send knowledge units to your xb in order for you to learn at high speed.

The inflaton occurred in a virgin region of the Universe. Gravity had not yet formed to slow down energy and convert it into mass.

Energy was recognized by Einstein to equal mass times the speed of light squared. Yet that was a nominal constraint for a formula that was necessarily required to define energy within the context of a non -virgin space-time paradigm of a deterministic nature. What energy is before it is bound to space time as mass is difficult to say. It may have no form at all that is comparable to any quantum form such as a string or membrane. Its natural extent may be greater than the dimensions of the Universe defined with space-time.”

“What is gravity?”

“Gravity is a process wherein mass is embedded within space-time. Apparently energy at the inflaton for an instant had no tie to space-time before gravity associated the newly appeared energy to it, starting the curvature of space-time and formation of mass. Gravity is a concatenated phenomenon of virtual particle super-positions of mass quanta entangling itself in static states. That warps space in effect as static mass snares emergent field phenomena such as photons traveling through. With quantum computing instructions the entangled static mass of virtual particles can be decohered releasing energy and mass explosively transforming black holes into white.

Incidentally John. There are about 350 billion planets in the Silky Way and of those somewhere around 10 billion have been brought into use by humanity free of the Aristarchs. There is a halo of energy surrounding the galaxy, four major spiral arms of stars and mass swirling around and being drawn to a great black hole at the center of the galaxy named Sagittarius A after its apparent location from the ancient Earth that was located about 26,000 light years from galactic center.”

“I understand the galaxy is about 100,000 light years in diameter?”

“Yes, so it is. And something else you might benefit from understanding is the nature of mass in regard to space-time and the pieces of eight former Universes. Mass is embedded in space-time dimensions and therein locked in a particular direction consistent with the dimensions of the Universe. Black holes have an infinite capacity for compacting and compounding reduction of mass within themselves because the dimensions are themselves infinite within a black hole.”

“So though mass is bound to space time creating curvature and all mass is duplicating that creating concatenated curvature and power of space-time curvature, the actual gravitational force doesn’t increase and remains a constant?

“Correct, and you may know that gravity is also limited to acting at the speed of light.”

For something greater than energy existed; something more subtle and less granular. At once more refined and without waves or variegations. Before energy could slow to mass in lower, more steady state orbits closer to the temperature of absolute zero it must first be and become.

When the Universe was without form and void it was without energy. Without a shape of a string or a singularity, before a membrane began to exist, nothing rippled upon the face of the deep. When a word was spoken and light entered the Universe, something greater than energy, an idea at best comparable to spirit, entered to travel faster than light, for light was itself a nearly massless wave-particle that would appear within a field, and the pre-energetic fact was faster than those fields including electromagnetic and gravitational that would exist as the ethereal, primal fact of a specific and finite quantity slowed after entering space-time with field symmetry breaking logic into evolutions of phases taking directions and protocols in the mysterious volume of infinite dimensions known as space. Time implicitly appeared within the energy and mass of space providing a relativistic space-time field.

The field was relative yet finite. Mass drew other mass unto itself through the convenience of attaching itself to space-time as an apparent phenomenon of virtual particles entangling at the speed of light a host of nearly massless subatomic orbital quanta. Reshaping space-time behavior and world-lines of mass subatomic quanta with implicit inanimate logic the superposition of entangled particles balanced accounts even while all mass drawn unto itself closed space-time about itself as black holes.

Under tremendous pressure within strong gravitational fields of warping space-time all mass yielded energy that became virtually infinitely hot and simultaneously infinitely energetic and compacted without limit in what might somewhat realistically be thought of as the singular point of hell at the end of any black hole of sufficient size that would in its heart of darkness collect with all other black holes grown from the finite initial mass given for the Universe into a black hole enshrouded in its own warped space-time seeking to escape its own infinite hell...it was a perfect containment facility for those lost and without regard for their immortal souls that are another name for spirit. The spirit known unto God and given a new name upon recollection and resurrection after the judgment of the dead.

In the black hole time has stopped at the singularity, yet time also continues apparently, subjectively forever within the contradictory infinitely high temperature existing below absolute zero when motion has stopped and all mass was converted into something beyond energy and time, yet far less and of a different character than the greater-than-energy that appeared before first light of the Universe so many billions of years before, from a certain perspective. In the meanwhile, before the evident ends of time in sundry black holes that would combine into one if given the time and opportunity. The trillions of galaxies that existed and might be regarded as stages in the course of life’s way, were beset by another problem that was already making itself known unto the humans living at the edge of the Silky Way galaxy where they had believed themselves safely beyond the reach of Aristarchs and sundry other urban evils of the interior Universe. The problem arose with what were later called the Species of Ate.

Modern Defense; Three Pawns Attack With 2f4

This is a typical sloppy, challenging, difficult to win, three minute blitz game. Clearing out the king side eventually worked against black.

3-M Blitz Sicilian Defense Delayed Alapin Variation

Variations of the Sicilian Defense are fun to experiment with in three minute blitz chess. It isn't at all technical like the solstice variation or whatever yet it is interesting to compare and contrast delayed dragons with king's indians.

Moving too quickly in blitz chess because of time concerns brings people to make some serious blunders.

Plainly the game was replete with blunders on both sides, yet that is blitz chess.

Puget Sound as a Paradigm for Ecological Decline (fiction)

©2018 Garrison Clifford Gibson

Wolfminh grew a little more concerned with the ancient story portraying the destruction of the original environment of the first planet of humankind in its long history.

“Do you think there is a lesson to be learned here Wolfminh?”

“That left unchecked the human drive to consume is like a virus on a planet’s people and ecosphere. Something like leprosy progressively moving across a body until it is consumed?”

“Yes, something like that Wolfminh. Later humanity realized after reflection upon its disasters that a philosophical value system, an axiology, for a realistic economic system needed to regard wealth as a function of the general well-being of all of the people of the culture. Rich people may be allowed, yet not so rich as to make the possession of wealth equal to the possession of political power. Billionaires in your deck are just a tiny percent of the trillions and trillions of humans living over the free expanse of the galaxy. They too realize that the security of all can be no greater than the security and wealth of the least of humanity. All of humanity are brought to exist within an effective, constructive range of inventive and contemplative existence. The extremes of concentrated wealth and poverty such as the Aristarchs and other imperialists use are absent from a free human society.”

“Lena said; “Let me show you a new game Wolfminh, I think you’ll like it.”

“What is it?” asked Wolfminh as Lena brought it up in a new window.

“As you can see from the banner above the Clint Westwood character dressed as Chief Seattle- it’s called Future Fracker. It’s a way of modeling human ecological economic histories on the geographies of planets historically and discovering the effects of ecological economic systems on the future of a given world-covering. In the example world, human beings have crossed the Bering Strait before the sea level rises and make their way south to Mexico while some stop to colonize Puget Sound in the future Washington State The boundaries of the future state of Washington are marked in orange and the naturally healthy ecosphere is green. Human settlements are red and industrial activity blue. As human activities infect the green and spread the newly dead green regions become black.”

“What happens if they become white? That’s a question better answered way down the road in the future. White occurring generally means nuclear wipe out or worse, though rarely it heralds utopia. We aren’t using white too much in the colors of Future Fract since the problem is more of civil than war economic consequences of ecology and economic policy choices.”

Clint Westwood as Chief Seattle sure looks angry.”

Chief Seattle was grim. He appeared at the industrial pollution expansion site as a ground-breaking ceremony and ribbon cutting for the expansion of the industrial pollution factory with a vast new asphalt parking lot was about to go ahead. Chief Seattle’s appearance differed from that of the crowd of sycophants and politicians gathered around the stage and speaker making the great, pompous speech about jobs and progress. Thus the speaker looked at Chief Seattle. Seattle looked back and said; “Do ya feel lucky punk? Go ahead, cut, make my day”, his hand posed ready to draw a light saber.

“And well he should, great actor as he was at 98. The ecosphere of the state of Washington died at a regular pace as unplanned human sprawl consumed and devoured ecological health. Instead of concentrating human population centers and retaining a healthy wilderness with land set aside for farming, the entire state is consumed by a human economic equivalent of flesh eating bacteria. Mammal life disappears from land and even sea as killer whale pods disappear into history. Salmon streams are converted to drainage ditches and sewers, asphalt and concrete paths grow all over the state to transport fossil fuel-farting machines that warm the sky and squash animals under tire. Enough of the intro game. I want to show you the principles of quantitative modeling of economic and ecological position initial start locations, quantitative analysis of the natural resources of a region and if they are renewable or not, and the way that Immanuel Kant’s moral categorical imperative should shape the choice of reproductive ecological economic systems through fractal analysis too.

Modeling the reproductive value of an ecological economy relies on the way it may be conjugated with growth.

Each ecological economy is a Mandelbrot formula with constants that can reproduce itself yet nothing more. It can burn up or conserve resources yet will be nothing else; never progressive.

For progress the Mandelbrot value need be combined with another fractal formula and finding two fractal’s that may be combined without destroying one another isn't easy. Yet the value of being able to combine two ecological economic systems that allow growth and techno-social advance is so high that heterosexual marriage of ecological methods is requisite for anyone with a realistic idea of mankind’s place in nature and the Universe.”

“Why don’t single fractal economies work?”

“Wolfminh, the best explanation might be a simple analogy to waveforms that are in sync or not. Heterogeneous waveforms could virtually fill up a geographic region as yin and yang composites comprise a whole and in our ecological economic system actually create new ecological economic life. On the other hand, same-fractal waveforms even with different Mandelbrot values combine destructively without conjugation or producing anything new. Instead they double power of their self-same waveform continuing whatever dysfunction ecological economic pattern of gross, mindless consumerism is present and annihilating biological life and of course, human freedom.

“You should try to use the game to create your own fractal worlds and values conjugating those with other oppositely signed fractals to generate new ecological economic system values occasionally; not too many or too often as you will overwhelm carrying capacity of the host worlds and even theoretically, that of the entire galaxy.

Kant’s categorical imperative for moral effectiveness informs us that no rule for self-conduct should be made that could not reasonably be applied to to everyone as a universal moral law. With that premise in mind we may consider if our social ecological economic practice if reproduced at large scale would act positively or destructively concerning ecospheric health, and then to what extent it need be modified for use.”
