Re: Philosophical Idealism and Cosmology

 Bishop Berkeley developed the theory of idealism perhaps following Plato. Berkeley called it ‘ideaism’. His Three Dialogues are quite good. One can skip to the modern world and the deconstruction of empiricism that Quine accomplished in his ‘Two Dogmas of Empiricism’. He demonstrated that logically one need rely on thought at some point in making arguments about the nature of reality. That doesn’t mean that one cannot make statements about the ‘real’ world of common experience/ It is just that everyone perceives it subjectively. A simple illustration is the interpretation of a human mind of photon wavelengths that create the appearance of color in a human brain and mind. There is not color in the photons themselves; not even the color force.

 It is worth remembering that the entire material, physical world is a secondary appearance or quality of energy slowed down into three dimensions when encountering the Higgs Field. Those are the slightly slower than light speed quanta of atoms that makes the material world to exist-for-humans. What that actually is for-itself is difficult to say. Kant’s outlook of the noumenon may in a sense be applicable to the unknown generally. There is perhaps quite a lot of stuff about cosmology that no one knows nor may every know.

Will President Trump Barricade himself in the White House?

 President Trump still believes he won the November election and is pursuing many remedies, yet like  the western land for cattlemen movement it is possible that the President will offer armed resistance to federal eviction and is even now stocking up an arsenal of big guns. He is resolute to go the distance, even if the race seems over to some.

The question thus arises of what chance the F.B.I. Hostage Rescue Team or Federal Marshalls would have against the Trump White House, and if it would be as entertaining as the gunfight at the o.k. corral Kevin Costner version (Wyatt Earp).

America likes winners and sometimes graceless losers. Only time can tell which is which, what is what, and if global warming will be an issue or not regardless of the weather and the fate of mankind.

President-Elect Biden- Better off With Controversial Obama Cabinet Leadership?

 Pundits have suggested that President-elect Biden should fill his cabinet with Obama-appointees who are experienced and can help the new President navigate the shoals and rapids of the new job. It is believed that President-elect Biden has little experience or ideas for himself and would need the Obama administration team to back-seat drive his administration, yet that may not be so. It is possible, though maybe difficult for some to believe, that Joe Biden has some ideas of his own to try out in the new job, since he has more than 30 years of experience in trying to be the President of the United States.

Joe Biden's 1988 Presidential campaign didn't work, and that was a different world than now. President Reagan had made great progress toward ending the Cold War with the Soviet Union though few including the G.W.H. Bush people were really aware of it. Almost none supported the draw down of missiles besides President Reagan. It would be good if the Biden administration could return toward peace and prosperity with Russia instead of inflaming the situation as did the Obama administration.

The nation has experienced much divisiveness and turmoil this millennium. President Biden could make his mark redirecting the course of the economic infrastructure if he is bold and names his own poison of controversy. Likely limited to a four-year term he cannot afford to chase after ever controversial choice and topic that swamps him.

The great surprise of the Trump administration was the last year when he engineered full diplomatic relations between Israel and a few Arab state; something that couldn't be achieved by any other President. The great mystery is how that got done. Sect. of State Pompeo may have the answer yet it is, of course, generally not known outside of special insider circles.

Did President Trump promise to give the Arab royals special status on a global plutocrat council to divy up the world if they signed on with Israel? Maybe the Arabs were just compassionate conservatives after all and are even considering practical future-looking events like building on the Moon or Mars are part of a Goldman Sachs or Warren Buffet, Elon Musk ad hoc investment group. It isn't too likely that a Sect of State Susan Rice would get very far in advancing relations with Muslim nations besides photo ops with liberated Muslim women without hijab or face masks like Americans seeking to avoid Covid 19.

There isn't anything wrong with a somewhat moderate Sect. of Sate although more creative, innovative ecological economists with advanced degrees might be people to look for to fill Sect. of the Interior and HUD positions. SOme kind of new thinking economist able to restore progressive taxation and implement social change policies to assure that all Americans have adequate health care and basic income to play in the modern mobile and fluid economic sea of change would need to be found outside of Obama administration personnel whom were not notable for much besides fomenting wars, riots and providing Bush II tax cuts for the richest Americans.

If the new Biden administration takes up controversial personnel and policies right off to the neglect of fundamental economic reform he may not get a chance during his final two years when he could be facing impeachment from a Republican House majority as turnabout is considered by some to be fair political play.

Note on a Cookie-Cutter Mesh Universe (poem)

Dimensions faster than energy
something unknown everywhere
when energy scatters over two dimensions
a reign of words in the wind
faster than light
with a Higgs field-tool
separated day from night

Sacramental cookie cutting dough
precipitated particle waves
super-clusters, galaxies with heavy metal
drifting through three dimensional mesh
dark matter filaments leftover
gravitational field warps
mass attracted mass
drawn to a dimension-field
weft joining secondary attributes
clever scuppers
currents

  Variegated fields, speeds, waves, particles
differential probabilities of being
somewhere on the edge
of being and nothingness
shapes and forms that  were
changed to become today.


• This universe may be compared to a mass of cookie dough precipitated within a charged field that slows down massless speed of light particles to sub-light speed where they may act as particle waves comprising the standard model of physics. The filaments connecting or left over from the generation of clusters and super-clusters of galaxies are believed to contain most of the missing mass of the universe, and the filaments may warp space time regionally, while mass may attract other mass because mass is a secondary quality of energy artificially suspended at sub-light speed and it relates to the primary two dimensional energetic form of the precipitating field.

• That does not mean that if one is wintering camping in long, dark northern nights of 18 hours that care must not be taken to confuse a bottle with juice with one with piss and drink deeply of piss two or three occasions during the course of darkness. The experienced camper knows to make sure containers of different purpose always have different shape.

Reds try to Flip Biden Victory to Continue Anti-Ecosphere Economics

 President Trump’s convincing five states of critical contention lost loss to President-elect Biden can’t be flipped by court challenges seeking to throw out lawful ballots and votes that gave substantial margins of victory to President-elect Biden in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania. Courts are unlikely to want to help overturn Democratic elections to install a slightly more fascist regime rendering the United States like unto Belorussia. With just a little bear grease to toss ballots President Trump could become President for life with a symbolic vote every few years when the occasion is deemed amusing.

 Billionaires running the nation directly rather than indirectly through corporate power and concentration of wealth that will in time bring 95% of national income to one-one-thousandth of the population- as it was in England until 1910 or so, is inevitable with blind political leadership unwilling or unable to keep progressive taxes intact and substantial enough to disperse overly concentrated wealth. In the modern economy with networks and programming concentration of wealth is automatic with capital increasing faster than wages normally.

 Numerous measures need be taken to wrest control of the economy and national polity away from plutocrats. Media sycophants of their owner’s will to power accuse all political dissent as leftist when factually there are 360 degrees of political directions and taxation, program development and social policy for a modern democracy to follow rather than just the two degrees of capitalist vs. socialist/communist dialectical opposition as the twits would have it.

 Mr. Biden faces the problem of race being used to divide the populous. The large number and presence of illegal immigrants also divides the nation because it adversely affects and/or displaces employment values for citizens. Gender is also used to divide the polity and social media also tends to be divided as well as broadcast media between extremist red and blue viewpoints. Mr. Biden needs to insinuate economic economics into the national infrastructure. I am not optimistic on the prospects of his accomplishing that.

 Much of the red opposition to President-elect Biden’s administration will come from white housing and mortgage lender racists that feel informally segregated costly housing is in their real interests even if against national interest. Housing frankly should be more modern and ecospherically innovated such as hollow artificial mountain ranges with affordable and quite housing built in to the structure in order to allow wildlife to flourish on the exterior. As it is presently expensive energy and land-wasting housing sprawls everywhere with an entire industry of reds reinforcing the class-commune exclusive to “nigs”. Obsolete new housing structures built even on former fertile farmland, bad gas fossil fuel vehicles and highways and roads penetrating so far as to kill off wilderness ecosphere health and political ideas from the Marxist/Adam Smith dialectic era cannot be all there is to white society. Many reds are actually proud of the stagnant, non-progressive or even regressive housing-auto milieu as ‘white’ though in reality it is contemporarily a retarded. The thoughtless and unphilosophical just look at the existing culture as if it was god. Some large churches look at camels as if they were needles.

 I prefer measures that would make being a modern American citizen agreeable to the concept of a lifetime level field for economic opportunity in spite of ad hoc mafias that attack individuals and economically exclude or marginalize them for perverse political domination. Each American should have an assurance of a basic income and health care gratis and use it only if they need it. College tuition through graduate school should be free as well in order to allow Americans to maximize their natural intellectual endowments without repression. In American far too many uncreative people are promoted over those with good ideas and potential through college as if the U.S.A. had a perennial cultural revolution following the little red book of the chairman. A rectification of institution to purpose need be made so colleges really are for public education rather than training facilities for athletes to move into business management to work for the wealthy who in turn repress individuals with new ideas they cannot own.

 The United States requires a free marketplace of ideas where writing by any American citizen will not disappear to be marginalized in search engines to a dark, damp dungeon no reader will discover. Political ideas and free expression requires a lasting vehicle for writing and possible some videos maintained by the government that is not controlled by corporate wealth, though those heavily censored platforms continue to exist. Free speech in the modern world that is politically meaningful cannot really exist if it is entirely subject to control by plutocrats.

 Patents too need be reformed in order to allow broke inventors with good ideas to profit instead of just giving away new ideas to the world generally. The patent process in the U.S.A. is too costly and patents too difficult to defend for the 50 million Americans living on less than ½ percent of the national income. Patents also last too long and retard economic development and better production techniques by potential manufacturers. Patent exclusivity should be limited to five years. After than the inventor-patent holder would receive a 10% royalty for life from anyone manufacturing the product.

 The need to move the economy to one adapted to the limits of the actual ecosystem of the nation and world is manifest. Ecological economics is a field of academic study that need be applied practically and integrated with the [political economy. Select reforms should be made that will promote and give an advantage to green business productions that are less harmful to the ecosphere. That could be done through a number of ways. Not to do so is in effect to have a red economy clanking along under the direction of drunks or heads in effect too spaced out to have ecospheric recognizance.

 Is the U.S. democracy/republic in fact already dead with plutocracy having replaced it? That may already be the case. Votes happened even in the old Soviet Union and in various notably undemocratic nations, it is just that they don’t really matter.

President Trump Concentrated Wealth to the 1/1000th% During His Administration

 President Trump's policies  were designed to gut environmental protections generally and concentrate wealth for billionaires and other members of the 1/1000th percentile of U.S. income earners. The covid 19 era was an especially great windfall for the wealthiest Americans.  With so much broadcast media support for policies that primarily benefit the richest it seems there is little prospect for slowing the inexorable roll toward American aristocracy and plutocratic rule by the most unconscionable class of citizens with no regard for egalitarianism and equal opportunity at all stages of life for actualization of good ideas. Leadership by the dumb seems to be the prevailing trend.

What is dumb leadership? It is unthoughtful, non-philosophically primate inertia to just throughput mass and exchange it for cash without regard to the environmental damage and unsustainable, profligate use of the world's natural resources. It is leadership that is oppressive of poor intellectuals and political parties that do not promote qualified candidates able to understand contemporary ecological economics and plan to move the existing economy seemlessly into a nearly sustainable, recovering state of affairs with the environment no longer suffering mass extinction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkshire_Hathaway#:~:text=For%20the%20fiscal%20year%202019,over%20the%20previous%20fiscal%20cycle.

While the Democrat Party simply selects lawyers (who are good enough in courtrooms), Republicans are nearly equally as guilty of picking lawyers or crude business people without any interest in economic ecological change nor apparently capacity for abstract thought.

Without a basic right to work and have opportunity to develop creative products including ideas for all citizens because of traps of poverty and political correctness the nation suffers along under the inertia of the blind pursuit of objects of greed leadership.  President Trump is an example of a non-creative billionaire class that have expropriated politics in order to exploit resources. Montana has elected a billionaire Governor as well who tired of two years in the House of Representatives and sought more rewarding opportunity. If millions of Americans are assured a basic income and health care including intellectuals instead of promoting just a few sycophants of Wall Street greater creativity and new leadership might results too. The most rich status quo sort of classes have generally enjoyed repressing bright poor people in order to keep their revenue streams mostly exclusive. The United States should be different than that.

A Resume for the Covid & Outsourcing Era

 Looking around for work during this pandemic year has made things a little difficult. During the Obama administration corporate censorship took down every place I posted including one site where I earned $200 monthly writing essays. I had work until the end of February 2020 when I was forced to leave (though the state of Montana U.I. people said I voluntarily quit and never paid a dollar in benefits and saud apparently I would need to pay a penalty of about $1000 dollars to be eligible for an unemployment check.

Incidentally I will post a resume below in case anyone has actual work.

I was learning to be a dental lab technician for a year and a half and was getting very good at making models from impressions, cutting out dies and so forth. So I hoped to be able to find work in that area and continue learning how to reline dentures commercially. I had repainted homes and other building exteriors on and off for the better part of a half century yet am hoping to transition to something else.  Ladders are tough on older knees-especially without any Medicare part B. I suppose I would still have some accuracy with select military skills however I am too old for military work to qualify.

Riding a bike around the city I am in I checked out eight dental labs listed as working in the spring and discovered that all except two are out of business. The thing is dentists are Fedex-ing packages to labs in China that make products far cheaper than in the U.S.A. There may be just 3000 dental labs remaining in the U.S.A. and they are fading rather fast especially with internet digital sata transfering scans of patients directly to China. Many dentists have invested as partners in their own labs in China cutting out American workers.

President Elect Biden WIll Need to Tackle Covid Pandemic

 President elect Biden will need to tackle the Covid 19 pandemic post-hast since President Trump has let it escape to reach record infection rates of 125,000 each day presently. More than a thousand Americans are dying each day too. Instead of wasting a lot of time and effort with losing legal challenges to the vote the President should work with the Democrat President-elect's team to stifle the expansion of the virus and yet work on ecological economic reform as well. During the period of transitions until January 20th President Trump could allow quite a few avoidable deaths if he solely relies on a vaccine to appear that might take a couple of months or more to reach general distribution.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-wins-presidency-trump-fox-news-projects

Americans that contract covid 19 and face death during the waning days of the Trump administration probably care about that and would prefer to avoid that if possible. The mass extinction of the ecosystem is also an ongoing problem that was exacerbated by the terrible anti-ecospheric health measures taken in Alaska recently. President-elect Biden will need to consider recuing the old growth forests of S.E. Alaska, the Arctic National WIldlife Refuge and the Bristol Bay salmon fisheries that have been thrown to predators.

Biden Admin- First 100 Days in a Wrong Direction?

 If Nearly President-elect Biden actually wins the battle for Presidential power and gets off to the wrong start in his first 100 days in office that will set the tone for a four year protracted war of deplorables against the establishment. It is hard to believe that a pro-homosexual, pro-abortion, anti-border security, pro-China administration is considered moderate and centrist, yet they are at least by the broadcast media that has gone so far to push Wall-Street business extremism to hegemonic advantage over democracy and rational, national self-interest as to bungle the prime. President Biter will still be assaulted by the problems of Ukraine and his son Hunter’s seemingly perfidious relations with insiders fundamentally provoking conflict with Russia to gain valuable land on the border region beyond the Dnepr.

 Virtual President-elect Biter can avoid some of the nearly automatic divisiveness over four years if he focuses on his primary task of moving the economy toward one of sustainable ecological economics first. Make no mistake- that is the most important and difficult task he faces. If instead he prioritizes special interest social class rewards such as concern homosexuals and abortionists in his first 100 days he is likely to get nowhere on an economic reform agenda. The Clinton administration bungled the first term of office and experienced impeachment effects in the second.

 Virtual President-elect Joe Biden does not have any sort of national consensus of support. He is winning the election count solely because of the unlikable one-trick pony nature of Donald Trump and his sycophants that declare the liberal agenda and environmentalism the flip side of the late Fidel Castro’s greater world vision of communist utopia. In my opinion both parties are tools of Wall Street seeking mostly enrichment of their leadership following the shining path of the little red book; None Dare Call it Reason- Extremism in Pursuit of Proplits is No Vice.

 If a Biden administration can actually include all poor Americans in free health care and move the nation toward actual ecological economic change and sustainability then he would have accomplished something worthwhile. The best selling work-book Revolt of the Deplorables contains the philosophy of tax-dodging, monster-truck driving oily dude resistors persecuted by hair-slicked back wise-guys raking in cash on Wall Street (or would if it were written yet). Some of the media high school grad mouthpieces will read from that playbook on how to counter the Biter administration. Getting anything real done in office other than interacting with Hollywood and media may be challenging for a contemporary President. Bringing the nation toward a modern egalitarianism rather than concentrating wealth to a plutocratic class reducing 100 million Americans toward economic servility would be simpler if President-elect Biden stays away from attacks on the second amendment and from attacks on the civil rights of conservatives.

 Nearly Vice-President Harris elect should establish her 2024 Presidential campaign itinerary during the first 100 days since Joe Biden like L.B.J. is not likely to run for re-election. If the President is too busy conferring with Hollywood the first 100 days on homosexual training films for American public school indoctrination the Vice President can be working on sustainable ecological economic policies that are sustainable into her first term as President if she can beat whatever dreg, bottom of the barrel candidate the Republican Party condescends to allow to run in 2024. If the President experiences impeachment after the 2022 election a detachable, sustainable ecological economic policy would be useful for the Vice-President’s 2024 campaign.

U.S. Leadership Regime Change Cohokia Style

Looking to America’s past to consider the present one may regard the ancient Missouri civilization of Cohokia that flourished for a couple of hundred years circa 1500. The civilization at East St. Louis had pyramids and a great sports field whereat athletes would throw a spear through a donut flung far down the sand-sprinkled clay court. Back in the day before machines made many  physical work tasks obsolete the ability to throw spears for war was more than a symbolic pursuit; it also symbolized sexual prowess. The way the Cohokians changed leadership regimes is of interest.

 When the ruling chief died or was deposed a complete house-cleaning followed. All of the Chief and his relatives including women and children were brought to the great sports court at the foot of the great pyramid and a great festive purge was held. Around the perimeter of the sports court a great trench was dug and the family of the dead or soon to be dead chief were assembled before it. A matching team of fell clubbers lined up in back of the former leader’s family and they, along with servants of the former chief were clubber on the head, fell into the trench and were swiftly buried as the trench was filled in directly with the good Missouri soil.

https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/198/

 In some respects the Cohokian regime change practices were forward thinking in comparison to that of the present United States. The Clintons for example, lingered around the term-limited office for decades seeking a way to get back in and thereby cluttering up and degrading the Democrat party. The Kennedy clan is another notable entry, and the Trump clan may actualize the same sort of phenomena in time. If the Cohokian method were used instead of the present system of media re-presentation of former leaders ad nauseum (adapted peacefully of course perhaps with banning of Presidential relatives running for office for a century) the United States would probably be better off.
