Euros Won't Mind Being Nuked if Iran Does It

 It's only 2500 miles from Tehran to Brussels, and those are downhill miles with Tehran being up at 3900 feet. The EU Council President doesn't seem concerned about Iran developing nuclear weapons because the Mullahs are such good friends of Belgians. Council President Tusk (like the Walrus) has plenty of confidence, so he is ranting about President Trump's concern that the Obama era end of sanctions in exchange for Iran mothballing its nuclear development program for a while to focus instead on building accurate missiles wasn't a good deal.

 It is likely that Europe will be Iran's number one target in 15 years rather than the U.S.A. Europe after all requires only intermediate range missiles or terrorists with fast attack boats to bring a nuclear weapon to annihilate some of those godless European leaders of decadent morals and environmentalism. Well, that just the way it goes. Electric burkhas may become the style in Belgium some time.

Except for Chernobyl Europe is virgin land regarding nuclear devastation; and Chernobyl really doesn't count. So what's to worry about?

Musk Should Reform Tesla Toward Eco-Populism

Tesla and its CEO Elan Musk are having Wall Street profit issues even as other Musk ventures are rising. The innovative CEO could use the sticky wicket moment to transform Tesla into a more populist company with ordinary American investors. Making Tesla something different as a coop kind of environmental leading green business leader could even bring new political party prospects to the nation, and that would be a good thing.

  Tesla has a lot of comeptition in the electric car business these days. Self driving cars are a large part of that. Tesla will experience the China factor too as Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers take over market share. An electric mountain bike from China sells on e-bay for just $150 US that is supposed to be good for 35 kilometers a charge.

  It sdshould be possible to innovate a very solid, stable investment and sales, development and production coopertative national corporate form that would work for Tesla and create jobs and new systems analytical studies of the U.S.A. and its environment that new products could synergize.

John McCain Isn't Dying Anway?

An aide to President Trump cannot note that Sen. McCain is dying anyway (meaning his opposition won't be around that long) without a gaggle of Democrats lining up to demand the firing of the aide. Sen. McCain himself though can say that President Trump isn't welcome to his funeral though Vice President Pence is. Fundamentally the U.S. Senate is full of it.

Senator McCain has brain cancer like his deceased buddy Sen Edward Kennedy had it when they were making all those crazy political positions together back in the day. One must wonder if Senators ought not reason if they have brain cancer because it might influence their good judgement, such as they had to start with, on political issues. Sen McCain has had a lifetime of challenges that many never experience and is no stranger to suffering. I wonder though if it isn't time that he retire from the Senate and take some time to reflect on life instead of staying in D.C. until they pry his cold dead fingers from the trappings of power.

Democrat Senate Feminists WIll Eventually Support CIA Earmark Haspel

How could Senate feminists not vote for a female CIA chief?  Fundamentally it's  a no-brainer. There are perfectly good Baldacci or Berenson novels, I believe it is, that have a female CIA chief. Gina Haspel being qualified for the job in Madelane Albright qualification criteria (except for being held responsible by some for enhanced interrogation techniques ordered by some higher ups I suppose)makes her something like the third coming of Hillary. Democrats will just sign off and cut out the show on the public dime because the Haspel spite value in flunking the nomination would not be that much to President Trump.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/second-democratic-senator-backs-cia-nominee-haspel-1526142425

Plainly the CIA's feminine era is about to start. That means more movies with female spooks, novels with women in the spy leading roles and so forth. That is not an entirely bad thing.

David Hume and Hilbert Space Causality

I wonder about Hilbert space and David Hume regarding causality and paraconsistent logic; cause and effect being neutralized per Hume, one must therefore show complete complex of Hilbert spatial content histories locally as factual

Human Winners in the Race to Extinction

Many modern humans have no clue about the origin of mankind. Some deny they evolved from chimpanzees though a look in the mirror should prove their error to them (a joke). Actually chimpanzees and human branch off separate ways about 14 million years ago. Humans had many near human like ancestors such as Neanderthals that could have survived independently in a different and less adverse social environment. Like modern humans with their great skill at war, the ancestors of humanity evolved in a bloodbath and killed off non-self-like hominids whenever they could.

Actually the law of the jungle making killing and eating normal and the rule except for close relations made it rather animal; normal rather than evil. It was a big change when anyone began to think that their was anything wrong about killing and eating non-tribal genomes I would think. 

The number of ancestral branches of humanity of hominids re numerous and they are all extinct. In a bigger planet maybe several human-like species that evolved intelligence and tools could have existed to the present day. Unfortunately there is just one remaining; homo sapiens sapiens.

The hominidae for scientists comprise four species of great apes of which mankind is a member. He has largely killed off the others in that group classification too. Quite likely mankind will kill off himself as his final great killing achievement.

The Bible brings Cain and Able into the historical time-line about the same era as humanity evolved farming and making tools for farming approximately 12,000 years ago. Cain was a metal worker and Abel a farmer. Cain killed his brother Abel. The flood was somewhat earlier, probably a neolithic era end of Pleistocene ice age flood that  rose world sea levels 200 feet and sent great floods and storms to the Mesopotamian lowlands where some proto-civlization was drowned predictably at leas to Noah who understood the implications of global warming with divine help.

Humanity perhaps could be said to have been created or entered into the world from Eden circa 14,000-16,000 B.C when they had a great awakening morally differentiating themselves from the law of the jungle genomes that existed everywhere on Earth. Adam and eve could name them and their children eventually move to their regions and begin creating nations.

It is sad though about humanity evolving nits own death and just the grace of God entering the dragon of social reality can save a few unto eternal life through the Son Jesus Christ. Humans are not the evolved highest species so much as they are the remaining of the numerous hominid lines that have all gone extinct. Any one of those lines might have been able to develop tools and advanced thought if they weren't so busy killing each other off. Humanity were the best killers and the prevailing winners of the global extinction competition/

The New Testament has the apocalypse occurring in the first century A.D. with the destruction of Jerusalem. That interpretation is consistent with a post-millennial point of view. The kingdom of God is prophesied to increase until most humans remaining alive are Christian, and those consistent with the meek inheriting the Earth. it does seem reasonable to me that the great killing species that humanity is evolved as a kind of upside down pyramid from innumerable hominid species living until just one remained, and that seemingly self-destined for self-destruction.

Iran Should Restore Diplomatic Relations With Israel

Iran could practice real politik and restore diplomatic relations leading to full renormalization with Israel and be quite better off. Iran was the second Muslim nation to recognize Israel. Israel could be an ad hoc, positive security element for Iranians concerned about Sunni state threats to its security, and paradoxically serve the same role regarding Sunni concerns. Shia and Sunni governments of the Middle East have more dangers from within and from other Muslim states than otherwise.

Muslim nations have problems with concentrated wealth and power that drive strong fundamentalist morally right wing populism to work with terrorism against conservative and even royal governments. Israel is a popular scapegoat for historical reasons. In the present era that dynamic is not very useful for the lawful regional governments nor for the people or Israel. Plainly the Syrian civil war should have been avoided along with the loss of life and suffering however the political way of being in the region tends toward organized extremism with support from international actors. Iran could take a low cost and pragmatic direct action of just restoring full and normal diplomacy with Israel and moving on toward bringing its own civil economic and security concerns to the front of its agenda. The practical is too often the last political item of possible choices to be enacted.

If Aliens are Near Enough to Attack- Will They Have Vacuum Tube Tech and Radio?

 The search for extra-terrestrial intelligence has gone on for a while and not found anything. Using radio telescopes to listen for alien hip hop music or some sort of equivalent several light years away scientist keep looking for the tell that will show where the aliens live. What sort of technology would they have that would allow them to travel faster than light, or maybe just at a high percent of it in order to reach Earth and vote for Hillary if she runs again?

 Aliens may not have advanced beyond vacuum tube technology and radio waves terribly far yet with a little tweaking they could ram up their spacecraft of war and slide on the space-stream greased with proto-teflonium beams maybe. The sort of technology that N.A.S.A. or SETI could detect from light years away might not be the sort of technology that aliens would actually use if they presented as great a threat to the Democrat Party as another Clinton run at the White House or global warming carbon dioxide gas that has already reached 410 parts per million in the atmosphere. 

Aliens might be able to slip through quantum super-positioning dimensions and get about instantly faster than light without reference to space-time local history at all. They might be able to surveil with smaller than atoms technology and rebroadcast that across the galaxy or galaxies in some unknown way. What I mean is that if they are able to get to the Earth they probably would do so without being noticed by scientists. If they were to survive and not be hunted down by other space travelling species travelling to their home world they may have learned to scrub space of any sort of artificial signal and hide their presence in a way comparable to the way people wipe out their trail from trackers with brush in centuries past.

Couldn't Private Interests Fund N.A.S.A. Greenhouse Gas Monitor Program?

N.A.S.A. only spent 10 million dollars annually to keep an eye on the Earth's green house gas content in the atmosphere. While the U..S. government has a vast right and left wing pile of debt and needs to cut back on spending, one would think that a few billionaires that spend 10 million dollars on plush toilets seats perhaps could step up and fund the Greenhouse Gas Monitoring program.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/05/trump-admin-scraps-nasas-greenhouse-gas-monitoring-program.html

Sure there are Trump administration officials that would  increase their environmental I.Q. with an infusion of Neanderthal genes, yet the nation understands that the President is a politician who must walk a tightrope politically to stay elected appeasing his electorate.

https://www.valuewalk.com/2018/05/carbon-dioxide-levels-earth-atmosphere/

Billionaires may have toilet seats that put music through skin contact into their waste removal sorties. One would think that knowing if the atmosphere is being so badly abused that human life will come to a swifter end should be equally important for them.

Congress is looking in another direction. Aliens. Congress wants to spend 10 million to make SETI great again in its search for extraterrestrial alien life. Practical.
