If Demos Promote a Pawn to Queen, Who Wins in 2020?
The Democratic Party is running at minimum five female candidates that hope to be promoted from pawns to Queen in winning the 2020 Presidential election. The question arises; who wins if promoting a pawn is the end-in-itself?
Democrats are a party of identity these days without any solid ideas that are worth taking up four years of the public's time. Not that Republicans have so many, although President Trump has a few solid ideas like getting a moon base going and a man on the moon within five years (via VP Pence). President Trump would deal with the southern border emergency better than a Queen, yet what else has he got?
Democrats have some front ideas about global warming concerns that aren't well formed or packaged. President Trump believes global warming will save on winter building heating costs if it does occur, of which he is doubtful. Neither party can be relied on for good ideas about transitioning to ecological economics. Democratic candidates are vacuous though they would like to pass major ineffective and expensive legislation of great symbolic value.
Democrats have a brave new world platform of identity politics that has all government workers being safe and secure and the public dependent upon them. It is a kind of softer, gentler, feminist communist party utopia united with Mussolini'Hitler business corporatism. It's all bad.
Obamacare is bad, invasive and expensive, yet everyone needs health care sometime. Getting rid of it is good, though Republican replacements would be bad ineffective and leave out the poor. My policy of tripling the V.A. system and uniting it with the nation's homeless clinics to provide free walk-in health care for the poor that are registered and screened by government screening agencies, is actually the least costly and most effective way to deliver health care to those that need it. My policy would require Musk hypertubes connecting cities and homeless clinics nationally so everyone could get to them for free with validated hospital or clinic visit.
It is a fact that non-profit clinic and hospital structures with quality staff (maybe free Medical School for those willing to work ten years in the V.A. system) are the best delivery systems for millions and millions of poor and uninsurable people. Democratic candidates hate a practical idea like it.
Democrats don't really want to reform the patent system so anyone can afford a patent or manufacture patented inventions after three years of inventor exclusivity (and pay the inventor 10% royalties). Democrats don't really want to provide incentives to hire those out of work longest, first. Democrats posture much and work for identity politics where qualification for politics is largely no more than being female, queer, transgender or daughter of immigrants. Democratic President candidates reflect the party's lack of ideas.

Another Theoretical Paradigm of the Universe
Scientists
have exploited Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity to develop a
theory of expansion of the Universe from a singularity. Lemaitre
developed that theory before quantum mechanics was developed very
far. Later after Gamow, and then Guth expanded the paradigm adding
inflation unto it, Tegmark decided that the entire big bang,
inflation, expansion paradigm might be based in pure mathematics.
Mathematics led to a theory of mind at the heart of everything with
the steady state of matter decohered from the quantum realm with
symmetry-breaking enabled with mind.
Sure
one may postulate a universal mind that coagulates or precipitates
mass in a phenomenal spot that becomes a singularity with clusters of
mass and energy forming around it decohered from the perfect ocean of
mind. There is a simpler way to approach the subject of how or where
mass and energy appear in the Universe from virtually nowhere. One
may use the General Theory parameters to describe mechanics of
expansion of mass in a gravitational field given a certain endowment
of initial energy poshing outward. One may also hypothesize that the
quantum realm hasn't a necessary delimitation restricting it to the
singularity position 1 contiguous field of being. Instead it may
decohere outside the contiguous field with any topographic geometry
(such as a circular) to interact with the initial Universe
singularity field mass-energy.
If
the all-possible world lines positions of quanta arisen from
Universal Mind may enter a Universe mass-energy field at any place
according to the designer’s will or intent, it would be
understandable that gravity from locations beyond the known mass
energy field of Universe1 could draw Universe 1 content toward it at
an accelerating pace. Virtual particles decohered from any place
might appear like rain soaking through a porous membrane.
Time
doesn't exist in the quantum realm supporting the steady state of
decohered mass Universe-clump at all, or if it does, in a one to one
relative equivalence. It may enter the Universe forward or backward
in the Universe 1 time without concern except for the designer’s,
with it’s non-temporal super-positions.
The quantum realm in its own time/timeless way of change, creating temporary voids. Past Universe 1 expansion events may cause 'dark energy events' elsewhen indirectly, because of the voids created in the realm of all possible super-positioning decoherence. Virtual gravity may temporarily present.
It is interesting to think about.

All-Female Identity Politics in Space
N.A.S.A. has delayed a spacewalk by an all-female team- no transgenders there apparently, putting on hold the start of identity politics in space. It was a clever idea bringing identity politics to space. After an all-female team an all-negro team of space-walkers followed by all-Hispanic could bring in more voters to continue the program.
An all-queer team perhaps is some way down the space-out program for N.A.S.A.
https://www.khou.com/article/features/nasa-clarifies-why-it-put-all-female-spacewalk-on-hold/285-a1856344-1330-40fa-94cc-6866dae7a6d0
If 50% of astronauts have herpes virus, the thrills of space-walking may be tempered with the sober realism of disease.
It could be that Democrat Presidential candidates have tricks up their sleeves such as all-godless atheist spacewalking synchronization teams, all new green deal spacewalking teams while Donald Trump may field an all-Christian space-walking team. What about sending lotto winners to moon-walk in space?

Fallout of the Mueller Investigation
The Mueller Investigation was a partisan effort to overturn the 2016 election results. The Obama cult followers felt entitled to continue the line of Obama programs that had been forced through congress. Hillary Clinton’s followers represented a brave new world order of x chromosomes and homosexuality that was supposed to become the dominating American way of life. It was a major split in the nation’s social fabric that will likely be lasting.

The Democrat Party became a party of identity rather than of ideas. That entailed permanent opposition to people for being straight and male, white and American by the left. Without a competent Democratic Party of ideas; good ideas, Republicans haven’t substantial competition except in the realm of identity politics. That is a bad result of the Mueller Investigation and the cult media hate-Trumpestry woven into the Democrat Party narrative.
Therefore de facto, bi-partisan policies to concentrate wealth continue unopposed except for occasional Democratic symbolic gestures. Spoiling socialism is levered with appeals to high taxation so even responsible tax rates seem socialist and undesirable. Ecospheric and ecological restoration economics are poisoned with homosexuality, socialism and globalism. In short; nothing gets done in the U.S. Congress of a scale that would address real issues. Democrat Party politics are polarizing. They show no capacity for empirical reason these days. The Mueller Report is another tool to provide political content for identity politics.

Mueller Report Flop Flips Democrats/Ecosphere Recovery Requisites
The Mueller Report was a flop at proving Democrat Party McCarthists that President Trump was colluding with Russians. The report indicated there was no collusion between the President and Russian agents. After years of media accusations and smears with accelerant thrown on by the untrue blue Democrat party politicians they are left with only the hope of more phony investigations through the 2020 election.
Democratic Presidential candidates are the worst in several generations. They are air-heads with brain contents full of non-sense and hatred of President Trump as if that was all that is required for leadership, It would be shocking to find a single Democrat candidate that could articulate 15 excellent political ideas that are good for the nation and would have bi-partisan support.
Electing leaders in a democracy should be about promoting those with good ideas to execute those good ideas. It isn't about a swell with a microphone or good college gang credentials (Ivy League). The Democrat Party is brain dead and vacuous intellectually. I am not implying that Republicans are excellent here. I am simply describing democratic candidates that should be advancing the quality of American politics instead of degrading it.
A green new deal should be created with as much attention to detail as a complex computer program. In the way 70 scholarly translators made a Greek version of the old testament from Hebrew language )the Septuagint), a team of engineers, ecological economists and scientist under engineering management should discover and compose algorithms that would correct identified point sources of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse pollution. Free enterprise theorists, constitutional attorneys and political scholars should design modularized programming scenarios that could correct ecospheric deficiencies. When the work is done and compiled in a publishable format, then it might be possible to select elements of the program to enact in accord with the political will. Economic analysis to discovery the most cost effective means of bring economic and human habilis phenomena into compliance might be legislated or promulgated through voluntary means.
Good works require work. Simply trying to disqualify political opposition in order to promote those most motivated with a personal egoist ethics and political philosophy doesn't get it done.
F.Y.I. The late historian Arnold Toynbee in his Study of History noted that civilizations have internal and external challenges. Revising or changing internal economic and political forms that are obsolete or inappropriate evolutions, Toynbee commented, are one of the most difficult challenges for a civilization to meet. Ancient Greece could not unify its city states, imperial Rome could not get good political leadership and its business people expanded to much abroad letting Roman Italy become comparatively neglected and vulnerable. Today the United States has an economic capitalist structure unsuitable for the national and global ecosystem without substantial revision. The nation that first completes transition to a new capitalism and free enterprise founded in ecological economics will be a world leader while the others will lag behind trying to emulate it.

What the Soul Is
The soul is what anyone is. It is the identity of the individual. The soul is what God would recreate from nothing to recover an individual from nothing or death. Therefor one might say the soul is information. God has numbered the hairs on everyone's head. It would be fine to use quantum mechanics to describe a soul. The trouble is that all quanta exist in an unknown, deeper field even than the Higgs. It could be the mind of God. Time exists just in decohered mass; alternatively the quantum realm in-itself is without time.
Matter is decohered quanta from the realm of all possible locations of quanta. Matter has had its quantum symmetry broken and is stuck together as atoms and molecules in a given form. The form is unstable and changes. Human beings exist in that space-time field in what is called the Universe. Souls aka sentient beings exist in it embedded in the entire mass and energy field of the Universe. God knows what that information is that is a person. He knows when and where it is amidst the infinite number of all possible Universes. Fortunately he is omniscient and knows where and when everything is; since he willed it so.

Liberalism, Fascism.Conservative are Non-Rigid Designators
Like Confucius one should begin with a rectification of names. Politically the terms liberal and conservative are variables that take on given meanings in different historical times and circumstances. They are not rigid designators to use Kripke’s terminology. The end justifies the means political rationale become the end-in-themselves occasionally.
Imperialists may be regarded as conservatives by supporters of the crown. Those for free trade may be regarded as liberals. Nazi political philosophy was founded on national socialism. The Storm Troopers mostly were made of former socialists and communists who believed mistakenly that Hitler would lead toward a national socialist state after getting rid of the remaining aristocrats that were deposed in a social revolution after the loss/armistice of the first world war.
Fascism is more of a means of taking political power than a stable political condition. Like Marxism it works best as a revolutionary ideology rather than a stable economic system. Aristotle preferred particulars over universals. Applied to politics that might mean than functioning egalitarian economic and political structures can be arrived at through intelligent, particular measures rather than grandiose, King Canute declarations of a topical form as the Utopian state with bureaucratic loyalists filling in the details.
There isn’t a way that stupid, corrupt politicians and legislators will bring into actuality a smartly designed governing structure nor policies that are optimal. democracy fails because of stupid corrupt leadership and collapses into tyranny (or dictatorship in the modern world). At that point liberals seeking liberty from the junta, tyrant etc. Liberal and conservative are more like verbs than nouns.
Dr Dre Donates $70 Million to Southern Cal
For a 70 million dollar donation to a University Dr Dre should get a building named for him. Even if he doesn't the donation was remarkable for someone from the music business. It wasn't spent on building Neverland II.
I took Bachelor's degree from Albany's Excelsior College for five easy payments of $19.95 (actually it was a little more) and was quite happy about it. Actually I only wanted an Associate Degree and got railroaded into getting a B.A. because I was having a hard time getting a couple of classes I needed to finish that program in Alaska, so I got the B.A. and the A.A. at the same time eventually.
In my opinion college education ought to be free. It could be structured like the Excelsior programs with passing grades counting and non-passing not. A college needn't provide all the courses itself. College courses that are accredited can be transferred in to complete the program slots that are required for graduation. The other way is a result of somewhat old program structures that arose when a college had to provide everything itself. It could not afford, nor could most students, to continue in programs in which they were failing. Those structures were unwieldy, inefficient and yet possibly necessary in order to pay educator salaries and physical plants costs (buildings and lights; not staff).
Dr. Dre's daughter was admitted to the college. Some controversy followed the Dr's tweet about her deservingness in comparison to those in the cheating scandal. College exclusivity and cost are a function of unnecessary and anachronistic, persistant college structures designed to be exclusive rather than inclusive. I got a year of college credits with CLEP tests. Any poor yet bright math student should be able to get credits by examination too-on line and transfer them about.
College costs could be drastically reduced and reformed, and exclusive colleges with deep pockets like Harvard might lose some of their gang turf status relationship to government jobs such as the Supreme Court of the United States. Law school costs could be made very low on-line for those willing to spend three years in pursuit of a traditional Cambridge civil and canon law LLD, Society could be made more efficient and egalitarian in many ways rather than dominated by corrupting cliques and exclusive gangs. If people were as publicly spirited to contribute to the betterment of society as Dr. Dre was in his donation to U.S.C. it might be possible to evolve a balanced economic edge of progress.
