When I learn of German and administration comments about Ukraine it makes me feel rather dirty because U.S. leadership is on the same side with Germans in trying to take all of Russia's Ukraine for themselves. My late father was a World war II vet of four years service. Never forget Baby Yar etc. What filthy blighters prefer aggressive war to peace and prosperity? The broadcast media just loves to hate on Russia and invest in Wall Street. How many people did Russia lose in WW II? Can the U.S.A. compare its own suffering to Russia's.? Russians had two wars with Germany in the 20th century on the allied side more or less in addition to the communist problems. Ganging up on Russia is stupid and just not morally righteous although Brevik might like it. I'd be inclined to comment that the U.S. is the wolf at the door, except I like wolves and wolves aren't murderers.
N.A\.T.O. and Wall Street's elite appear to fill the NAZI roles I.M.O. regarding Ukraine.
One may make certain assumptions regarding what causality is, or when it is, that may not be accurate. One tends to regard causality as an element occurring in time, or along a time line from alpha to omega, perhaps at some time omicron or whenever, and that might disregard the non-linear factors that coincide with an event that requires preceding 'causes' or conditions to exist. That is causality may proceed from numerous, perhaps an infinite number of axis or vectors such as x or x and y or x,y, z axes through infinity.
So one has the question of what a particular point event on a single infinite line has as qualities that differentiates it from preceding events on the continuum of time materially flowing (if time actually occurs as relative positions among numerous or plural ‘objects’ rather than as a hypothetical abstract dimension for mathematical purposes.
Then one wonders how an infinite timeline without beginning or end has differentiable causes, perhaps such as material forms that comprise quarks, strings or humans, or maybe sentient though in-itself, as it develops through a Universe or Metaverse from eternity without beginning or end, yet strewn with countless Universes in theory that occur with some unusual relationship between themselves that some physical cosmologists speculate would exist like an eternally branching tree packed fractal like with infinite numbers of universes within and without itself because of the way ifninite dimensions can pack. That paradigm with quantum fields of some sort generating virtual particles that become entangled and locked into a steady state of matter that supposedly is a secondary quality of energy may not require causes to be.
That may seem somewhat sketchy, yet causality may be something humans think about because of the appearance of pluralism rather than monism concerning mass and stars etc. Yet particles pick up mass in the Higgs field from their normal two-dimensional condition as energy as they slow to sub-light velocity as get the appearance of a third dimension (in time). It could be that the existence of the quantum field at some deep level is eternal and the appearance of various forms and change of matter is contingent being. The pre-Socratics Parmenides and Heraclitus were concerned with similar issues. God is spirit. Spirit differs from contingent mass and energy. Foe humans though observing mass and energy in various forms and considering the temporal forms that it takes are great inquires and even rather sporting. If God wills things to exist eternally he could. Cosmologists tend to believe that Universes, big bangs and inflatons may occur infinitely too. Lorentz transformations are interesting ways to consider where things are in time from the viewpoint of different observers. One might develop a similar equation to apply to the Metaverse and decide if anything was really a cause of anything else or if it all was a thought of God’s without beginning or end in time or its temporal forms.
Time seems inseparable from thermodynamic change, that is from the particles and energy that comprise it. Time may be equivalence of motion of wavicles measured uniformly in a sector en mass. The Lorentz transformation is a formula used in special relativity to coordinate perspectives of two different observers concerning time. Changes in physical systems occur in a given system of physical values often set by the local strength of gravity and pace of motion. Time is a measurement or quantification of the rate of change locally.
Truth is a verification of a statement or proposition.Truth is relative and conditional except for One whom is everything in-himself (God). God precedes all contingent universes and fields, waves or forms. The One who eternally exists hasn't a need to verify Himself or contingent facts He created, or is. Truth is for lesser beings with the possibility of falsehood, uncertainty and error. Here today, gone tomorrow in a manner of speaking, is humanity as a blade of grass as Solomon noted. All is vanity. The Bible, or Biblos meaning little books, is true in recounting that ti,me in Middle Eastern history. Most skeptics are searching for error rather than truth in it, and they tend to find that at least in misunderstanding it.
Jesus told Nicodemus that mankind need be born again, of the spirit. Mankind is born in sin, materially embedded in a thermodynamic field. All mass exists because 2-dimensional energy packets slow to sub-light speed in the Higgs field getting a 3rd dimension along the line of travel. Adam and Eve picked up those thermodynamic traits that exist for all in the Higgs field when they flunked obeying God's instructions (sin) missing the mark of perfection required to be in the presence of God. Jesus Christ helps the elect with that, having shed His blood in atonement for the sins of people of faith in Him. Faith in the Lord brings one to spiritual rebirth, though still living in the thermodynamic, temporal field of being.
Since the Obama administration debate on what shape national health care should take I have periodically advocated free health care for the poor provided directly by medical staff on U.S. Government payroll. That is the most efficient way to include everyone and skip layers of bureaucracy and pay to middlemen insurance people. My suggestion was that the Veteran’s Administration hospital system could have been expanded greatly and combined with community service clinics to cover Veterans and the poor with a large surplus bed capability that could be ramped up in case of national emergency to provide auxiliary service to all Americans after the beds in regular hospitals systems not part of the V.A. hospital/community service clinics. Covid in the Omicron era could have easily been supported without undo strain on civilian, non-government hospitals.
This post isn’t intended to be an I told you so note. The purpose here is to reiterate the point that the nation is not prepared to provide quality walk-in medical service for 100% of the nation’s poor residents and citizens or for all Veterans either reportedly. Neither would it be able to handle a real, more lethal pandemic that has a fair chance of occurring sometime in the future because the entire world is packed with billions of souls, millions of biologists and transportation that allow same-day movement anywhere on the globe. If some sort of a serious genetically engineered pathogen or even another natural one from the usual suspects in Asia U.S. experts and medical capability, not to mention the economy so reliant on imports to exist, would go belly up as quick as a grizzly bear would eat a box of jelly donuts given the chance.
The next pandemic event may kill billions of souls indirectly via mass starvation when the heavily dependent on global supply chains economies break down. People are not as clever as they sometimes believe they are, so preparedness might be considered something akin to godliness, especially if it serves the meritorious purpose of relieving the poor of suffering created by the maladaptation of the national political economy to existential challenges presented by the shrinking of the world and population increase on the planet.

This morning
when I awoke and opened the front door, I saw deer tracks leading to the front
step through fresh snow and immediately wondered how Zarathustra was doing
during the Covid 19 pandemic. Today is the beginning of the end of winter, or
so one might hope with the weather forecast from weather radio saying that the high-pressure
system over the Yukon and B.C. providing outflows that have kept the
temperatures here well below freezing for some time are fading and being
replaced by a series of low-pressure systems that will bring temperatures in the
Southern panhandle to the 30’s and 40’s (along with flooding and high winds
over deep, suddenly melting snow pack. Plainly this was the opportunity for a
jejan evaluation of Zarathustra in the Covid regimen since it probably is too
soon for writing anything jejune or jejulian.
Are the
conditions of Zarathustra’s (aka Nietzsche) being Beyond Good and Evil still in effect? Is the Covid 19 pandemic cull
also regarded by people of a Democrat Party ilk as being beyond good and evil,
good or evil, less than or equal to good, less than or greater than evil, or
something altogether else? For that matter was President Biden’s Build Back Better paradigm beyond good
and evil or beyond good sense?
Here in the
dark winter NPR is the sole news station available in this place without cell
phone coverage. That is something like being a mushroom grown in the dark fed a
load of manure. On rare occasions I get a chance to read some internet data to
correct the broadcast propaganda (insufficiently). This is what I got from
listening to that frequency about national politics now…
The President
said that a minority should not filibuster a Democrat Senate majority and let
Democrats make partisan changes to voting regulations in Republican partisan
majority states. The U.S. Senate is evenly divided so making it possible to
mail in election ballots from Mexico, Moscow and wherever American voters are
is considered to be a good way to insure integrity for Democracy and firm up
the Democrat majority hushing up minority expressions of dissent. Muhammad and
Vito from the union could collect ballots from their Chicago precincts and
deliver them to polling places to save work for voters yearning for more free
time to drink on Sundays. A future commodities market in mail-in ballots may
develop with speculators buying up ballots from low country voters for ten
bucks and a hamburger today for sign and release to be sold at a considerable
proplit bearer ballots in the event of close elections to highest campaign
contestant bidders.
One party
systems like Democrats build cannot long endure; a free marketplace of ideas or
political pluralism may be destroyed. Demicrats persuade their special
electorate that Republicans make black people dehumanized and compelled to
listen to country and western music ten hours a day. The President in a loving
speech explained that Republicans are evil Jeff Davisonian, Bull Connerian,
George Wallacian, booger and snail, puppy-dog tailed nasties that should be put
under Democrat Party rule until muffled permanently. Nothing was said of equal
protection of the law and state’s rights for political self-determination and
pluralism as a way to prevent authoritarian tyranny by the federal government.
Maybe proportionate, equal numbers of polling places per population is
reasonable, yet dictating that states that want to close down bars and liquor
stores and voting on Sunday should pound asphalt seems wrong. Sure as shootin,
those dog gone Democrats may seek to panic black Americans (and those within
several points on the html color code chart) and drive them to vote exclusively
in union halls and Democcacrat party offices.
During these
winter weeks I have considered the popularity of the late 19th and
early 20th century philosopher of the eternal recurrence among
certain Democrat portions of the American populace. Is the nearly eternal
recurrence of Covid 19 variations confirmation of Nietzsche’s theory of eternal
recurrence? Might one infer that the Universe and Multi verse, if it exists,
recur because that is a more efficient way to pack an infinite number of
Universes into a finite space? Or could it be that like Nietzsche who suffered
from mind problems caused by advanced syphilis, that the eternal recurrence or
sundry cosmology theories are the result of wrong inferences of spaced or
warped cognitive paradigms? Will the Webb Space Telescope confirm or support
the eternal recurrence of Covid 19 or resist it with proof better suited to a
standard model of cosmology?
Can one rightly
deny that the Covid 19 cull is evil or that stopping that would be good? Or are
the terms of good and evil superfluous or exterior to the facts of mortality
for-themselves as vaporous as words in comparison to objects? The word of God
is meaningful, yet what else could be said to be so substantial as the facts of
material, temporal objects in a thermodynamic stream of appearance that become,
are and then fade away into the past with all things, like grass?
I suppose that
the advantage of choosing to take up a beyond good or evil moral paradigm (with
or without an eternal recurrence) from a subjective perspective is that evil
can be done yet be exempt from being labeled evil. Good would be an irrelevant non-sequitur for those beyond
good and evil of course, and for those that prefer evil works, of little
concern or loss, except perhaps as they might not receive public recognition
for whatever good they do to offset their evil works nominally. In the
political realm being beyond good evil could have tremendous value for
politicians who would be relieved of public expectations that they accomplish
good works and criticism for perpetrating evil public policy.
Covid reminds
me a bit of that science fiction movie of the 1980’s I believe it was, about a
UFO that appeared over a panhandle logging town and lifted some trucks and
people into the sky (no it wasn’t The
Rapture for those that might wonder). It reminds me of that former Canadian
logger from British Columbia who clandestinely chain sawed down a great white
spruce tree held in reverence by some of the people of the Queen Charlotte
Islands (also known as Haida Guai {it means the
people}) one night who became charged with some criminal offense for the
felling of the tree that he did for some reason who then became lost at sea
paddling to the mainland during a storm in a kayak. Covid 19 is a perennial
challenge to modern science and the responses economically and socially
sometimes seems inexplicable, enigmatic and less than optimal in some respects
demonstrating the problems that average people working and living with mass
organizational approaches to everything can have in adapting well to novel
challenges.
If people
themselves working through mass organizational structures become beyond good
and evil in-themselves with social reality setting forth what is good and evil,
and that usually meaning compliance with organizational norms and not venturing
to stick one’s neck out from the manure pile lest the Supreme Soviet of
Plutocratic global term setters cast one out, or the group daily hate land upon
oneself, can solve challenges with common effort, they can also repress
solutions,good adaptations and
individual productivity with the coercion of social pressure to conform. Yet
one may ask; what is good or evil when the values are determined by
collectives? To me, they appear to be nominalist moral terms for those without
faith in God. Collective use-truth values of mass social narratives are
surviving, even permutating infectiously, in 2022.
