Natural Law and Existentialism

 Sartre explained that his philosophy was a continuation of French rationalism. One has one's own window on being (existence) and may be aware, with an enlightened life, of how society acts collectively and interactively with serial behavior, ossified praxis (eg signs) and so forth that engages the lives of many people unreflectively. Virtue systems like aretaic ethics or deontology could be taken up by an individual for a reason yet Cartesian rationalism traces self-being to perception of self-perception and that is without duties or virtue seemingly on the face of it. 

If consciousness arises from an active subconscious processing perception and correlating ideas there may be an implicit natural virtue structure within the mind itself; natural law as it were, that influences conscious thoughts and decisions. Self-perception or self-awareness in conscious mind may create systems of virtue or ethics in part with intentional reason as well as with help from the subconscious network that is not at all entirely irrational as one might believe dreams to be at least superficially.

Parties Should Create a Moral Questionaire for Candidates

 Should there be a standard test for political candidates with boxes to check off in order for voters to understand the moral positions of candidates and how they change over time (with subsequent or semi-annual tests?) The morals of politicians actually matter these days when the nation has taken a downturn in comparison to traditional moral values; especially if there are consequences for the nation for having done so.

Politicians tend to become sycophants of the values or lack of that the wealthiest have in order to curry favor and patronage. The rich own the broadcast media and can quickly by adds on TV. to plink very fast those they deem in there interest to downgrade socially and economically. The lack of good morals may lead to permissiveness and license for political duplicity, falsehoods, liars and so forth that are deleterious to the principles of democracy.

Democracy itself can be made to serve as screen to lever immorality to be the new normal, pursue foreign wars in order to profit arms manufacturers and allow blatant disregard for constitutional rights while feigning respect for them. As in Huxley’s Animal Farm democracy can be called so as long as the swine can be made to turn out to vote appropriately before returning to their soma, swill and grog. Legal dope all day may be the new normal for Democrats.

If the people are made not to care about morals besides tolerance for anything, human rights and the quality of life tends to decrease. A simple morality exam of one-hundred questions should be enough to get the opinions of politicians on record.

The rich and broadcast media promote atheism and evolution intensively in the media and assume that there is no God or possibility thereof. They are quite firm in their opinions throughout Hollywood and inculcate their values in the masses of the world so far as they can. Yet it is an unreasoned opinion, or at least inadequately reasoned. Theoretically, in a Multiverse God has unlimited opportunity to exist in logical structures simultaneously with evolution, predestination and salvation of the elect. However there are several issues such as moving the world to the brink of nuclear war that actually exist today that haven’t the past 30 years based in problems of wrong political morals.

Failing to have a basic national income is also a moral issue as well as an economic one. Failing to have an expedited universal health care system to serve when loopholes exclude many (such as having two places to live on private property in warn and cold climates because they can’t afford to build a home), or are elderly legal residents that didn’t qualify for social security and so forth is another moral and economic issue. Pragmatists might recognize that eliminating the extremes of poverty would be a remedy for many criminal activities motivated by dire poverty. The comfortable have several unreasoned ideas about capitalism, socialism, axiology (value theory) and political-economic philosophy and may be fast on their way to hell. Preventing the poor from being prosperous by letting them have no chips to enter prizes of their own work or construction is expensive as are the costs of prison and drug rehabilitation. Pragmatism doesn’t need to mean civil fascism as the privileged to to be motivated toward.

Covid Subtracted Points from Test Scores of the Nation's Schools

 The news that the national average learning of youth during the pandemic declined a lit isn’t at all surprising. Protracted absences affect learning. Disruptions in the orderly schedule and order of mathematics are hard to overcome. To get to infinity on a line of progressing numbers students need start at) and move up; not get sidetracked to mathematical waste treatment facilities. Students learn math better outside a pandemic than masked up in one.

The news isn’t all bad. Being outside of school and using the Internet for remote classes can lead a generation to think outside the box more than generations regimented in neat little desk pigeon holes. The pandemic may have taught the necessity for pragmatism and innovation that cannot be found so much, or found easily in the orderly world of mathematics.

Even so computer aided learning to help students recover math skills will need better and saturated tech applications and equipment for all the nations students I would think. Probably the federal government should buy a lot of tech and levy and education tax to pay for it. Maybe more educators from India will need to be imported to provide extra math learning. Britain’s new P.M.; one Rishi Sunak got a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford and an M.B.A. from Stanford where he was a Fulbright Scholar. He also worked for Goldman Sachs. Britain has learned the value of selecting people good at philosophy, math and business. American schools may need to be more serious about providing safe and quality learning environments for all students rather than the privileged.

Maurdant Faces Tough Uphill Battle with Gender Handicap

Penny Mordaunt stands a reasonable chance of becoming the conservative’s new P.M. since Boris Johnson has withdrawn from the race. Johnson was a popular P.M. who made the mistake of hosting a couple of maskless parties during the Covid lock-down and was crucified by the media and polls. So he stepped down from the post and left Brits with the mess they deserve. Fortunately they have a couple of able replacement candidates and Penny Mordaunt is clearly the best. She has a serious handicap shared with the recently aborted P.M. tenure of Liz Truss. Truss was plainly confused with the leading roll; therefore Mordaunt is sharing the mantle of female incompetence given by chauvinists and bigots to select female politicians. Mr. Sunak is the sole male alternative to the expected bubble brained female leadership that would be doubled down if Ms. Mordaunt were elected and failed.

It is unfortunate that rank chauvinism seems to flourish in England too. Perhaps conservatives are too young to remember Margaret Thatcher who did a fair job as P.M. although labor hated her tax cuts. While some males are exploited so far as being paid equal wages in select jobs with women that don’t do heavy lifting, heavy lifting isn’t required at all in desk and paper pushing rolls so there may be no reason to be discriminatory. Leaving out dynamic leadership from the P.M. occupation because of political profiles regarding the handicap of being female should be overcome by forward thinking Brits with a lower percentage of Neanderthal genes.

There May Not Be Enough Critique-Essays of the President’s Work

 Essays can be written with many goals and objectives. They are like assays in a sense testing the quality of metal. Instead of metal essays evaluate the quality of job performance more broadly than a form with spaces for plus and minus’ for job evaluations. An essays considering the President’s job performance needs to evaluate sins of omission as well as commission. That is an essay regarding the Presidential job performance should be cognizant of the issues that exist yet are ignored by the President as well as those issues and tasks he or she has accomplished well or poorly. Writers, for example, could consider if party platforms would continue to develop the end of civilization through incompetent management.

Intelligence can be evident in essays or lack quality. A President’s goal should be to go about creating the well being of the nation in whatever way he can. Yet one must have the intellect to recognize the things that could be done to make the nation better and how they could be done. I believe writers constructing essays should use their own imagination to develop substantial evaluations to bring to the public’s attention even when the Presidential imagination is lacking. A very simplistic Presidential agenda is something like the work of a retarded writer in comparison to Shakespeare and it is the responsibility of the electorate and political parties to nominate very bright candidates with a large range of excellent political goals to accomplish rather than a few. Even the few ideas that Democrats had in the 2020 primary had many self-inflicted casualties that ended their lives after the election when they won.

Television is audio and video about human speech and appearance. So much is of appearance and reactionary following along safe narratives rather than in quantity presentation of creative issues. It would be utterly remarkable if either Democrats or Republicans understood the value of having a minimum guaranteed national income or affordable or preferably free health care for retirees that are poor in addition to poor people of any age. Writers could evaluate the work the incumbent has done to accomplish goals like that and grade it and leave the lectures to college professors and journalists/ broadcasters laboring individual issues.

Worthwhile goals such as developing new means of national transportation instead of cars and freeways could be made with dozens of new ways of moving Americans faster, cheaper and better and still with individual platforms for movement. Goals of creating hundreds of millions of gallons of water with solar desalinization via canals across the sublet full of salt water that evaporate to fresh when collected/condensed etc would be easy to bring up.

The White House apparently is pursuing construction of a sunscreen in space to cool the Earth, yet that would affect everyone on the planet and is a radical risk for everyone too. It is also a kind of admission of defeat of human ability to build ecological economic infrastructure that is net zero greenhouse emitting for the nation first, and then the world. It isn’t too difficult yet transitioning to ecological economics would discomfort the rich and established that prefer to keep things the way they are where they own everything in site generally. A corrupt establishment basically is the doom of the people on Earth, Of course God may save those that have accepted his son Jesus Christ as an atonement for their sins however that doesn’t mean he will fix either the public debt or atmospheric heating and mass extinction because the lost are too corrupt to react adequately to the dangers implicit in non-ecological, classical economics.

Economic Misdirection from President Biden

 The President’s economic misdirection based in maladroit management of foreign policy works in a counter-cyclic way toward stable economic progress for the nation. He has also catalyzed the prospects of global recession.

Resolute support for the war in Ukraine by Democrats directly increases the cost of food, energy and environmental damage to the nation and world. Not only did the President fail to push for an adequate response to global warming, he has promoted a fossil fuel energy policy claiming that more oil wells were drilled in his first year than in President Trump’s. The President is seemingly unaware of the contradictions in his policy and the damage that it causes to Americans.

President Biden seemingly is most concerned with polls and inn pandering to voters. In my opinion if Democrats were for some reason against abortion the President would be too. Yet with party women in favor of the murder of the unborn the President too is a champion of that, and of homosexual marriage. Mr. Biden is a libertarian on marriage evidently saying the people should be free to marry whomever they want. If two or three people wanted to marry the statue of Liberty, a college or a soccer team the President would apparently be in favor of that.

The President’s nuclear brinkmanship is the new normal and that is acceptable for the party so long as they can blame Mr. Putin. A President with some intellectual creative and non-ossified alpha waves should have found and still could find a way to bring the war in Ukraine a halt and renormalize relations with Russia easily I would think; if he or she did not relinquish authority to the President of the Ukraine in effect. They would need only ignore Mr Zelenski and draw a line across the fields of Ukraine and get the U.S. and China to recognize the new normal lines. I would think Russia would accept its current holdings in Eastern Ukraine as permanent and complete properties that it would get. Then sanctions would end and with peace restored the process of rebuilding the local and world economies could occur. The world economy need swiftly transform itself into an ecological economic format rather than a traditional, classical economic modality.

While the President and Democrats are concerned with limiting world population increase through brainwashing the masses into licentious, outside of a family sex conduct with abortions, z.p.g. and homosexuality, sex change surgeries etc and believe that is a core voting motivator of the populous useful for getting re-elected, it won’t solve global environmental challenges and is actually a counterproductive distraction from real and meaningful political issues set aside or ignored. In portions of S.E. Alaska there are no days of frost forecast the entire month of October; that is quite a bit warmer than the historical normal temperature. Global heating shouldn't be set aside as fiction.

All of those nice houses and comfortable retirement plans people make will have little meaning if the environment overall crashes in a more dramatic way that most people realize. Maybe movies villainizing Ted Kuzinsky will change and be made to laud him. It is certain that orders of magnitude more people will needlessly perish if the outlook written in James Lovelock’s book The Vanishing Face of Gaia; The Final Warning becomes fact.

https://www.amazon.com/Vanishing-Face-Gaia-James-Lovelock/dp/0465019072

People are led by people in politics and the media concerned with short term profits and opposed to changing the way economics are. It is the equivalent of a nation led by losers and flunkies though they are rich while intelligent people never even get in to the ballpark.

Desiderata for Prospective Nuclear War

 President Biden summarized his outlook on the state of the Union recently saying that the chances for Armageddon are the best in history. He was of course referring to the nuclear war looming as a distant ship on the horizon that he would be likely to survive in a special shelter at an undisclosed location.

N.A.T.O. was formed when conventional war was the main thing on the diplomatic plate. It was a natural way of responding to the post W.W.II chaos of Europe against the red menace to the east. The United States was a strong trans-Atlantic partner and was willing to go to bat for Europeans once again if needed. Western diplomacy has thrown gutter balls since the end of the Cold War leading to the present conflict with Russia via Ukrainian proxies. N.A.T.O. and the west have about a century of hatred of Russia so its almost automatic for them to add more weapons fuel to the fire leading up to the real chance of nuclear war within a year or two.

The west fails to understand Russia point of view at all concerning the Ukraine; Russia without the Crimea is unimaginable and without the land east of the Dnepr in Russian control there can’t be political stability. The west hasn’t been able to solve the Middle East problems between tow small nation/peoples in about the same time period, so failure is expected and normal with Russia too. The west are like Palestinians that demand the destruction of Israel and just can’t comprehend there is a valid opposite point of view.

Democrats have been the party of war and aggression since the ante-bellum south and are led by an old lawyer-bureaucrat who is like a horse trained to go out and argue without compromise with the opposite team until he drops dead in his traces. He also shares the Armageddon eschatology with wrong pre-tribulationists apparently; though he is a Catholic for abortion and homosexual marriage and should have some kind of amillennial perspective that isn’t so bad yet isn’t as good as post-millenniallism. Blunders compounded upon blunders increase the prospects for nuclear war. I have incidentally posted a three minute video on nuclear war consequences that seems a bit understated.

I wonder though why the President feels it right to pursue international relations in such a way as to gamble the lives of the population of the United States in order to keep Russia from having some acreage east of the Dnepr? Without American involvement Russia would have won already and the conflict would be wrapping up. Russia doesn’t need to nuke the U.S. to recover lost land, yet it could it President Biden is willing to offer the U.S. as a target because of its N.A.T.O. commitment to defend non-N.A.T.O. state. Maybe some might not care if Democrats are nuked, yet innocent Republicans and Independents might get scorched or radiated too.

Russia probably has learned that it couldn’t win a conventional war with N.A.T.O. yet it hasn’t ever declared that it intended too. If President Putin has put all of his chips into the war and President Biden is going to keep raising the stakes with weapons, cash and intelligence that does drive the conflict closer toward a nuclear war with maybe some of the 15,000 Russian nukes being thrown at European targets. So France and Britain hit Moscow perhaps after being dusted themselves. Would President Biden really launch more nukes from U.S. platforms just to invite retaliation and escalate the conflict?

Getting the war to end will require Ukraine’s Jewish comedian President Zelinsky to be excluded from negotiations and would need just Russia and the United States drawing a line in the farmland of Ukraine for peace. Cutting a deal like that is unimaginable to the adversarial legal team of N.A.T.O. of course that requires war unto the death of proxies until Russia gives up its recently annexed lands and Crimea, and that may not happen. The matter seems to have a lack of reason in it as if the leadership has a pandemic case of the ass.

The Worst Inventory ( a poem)

 

Water laps softly shorelines
echoes, wave with new enzymes
creatures sway filters in time just to be
the sea so real one last time

Paintings that move seem forever true
live content each a startling new view
fields of life yielding contiguous change
wield up energy anew

Spirit set brackets on mass
insights remarkably fast
omega to alpha, last to the first
the worst inventory, past.

Potholes and Tents (a poem)

Lighter than air the sea runs green
rivers of sky substances of dream
each ribbon of time woven round a world
is hurled blent to the ground

  Rainfalls bright upon the Earth
cascades light with easy mirth
spring follows night of winter days
to raise up life not sin

With comedy per king days spent roll on
pawns shrug off potholes, tents
to importunate songs far right
so new horizons near sight.

 

Account Somme (a poem)

 

Somber colors of the fall                                       
light and shadows stretch out tall
cold is later like a call each could own
unknown future sets down sprawls

Shining surface of the sea
never was ever to be
reflections rise over quark trees in time
designs show more ordered keys

Wars and rumors of war fuel greed’s line
ice and paper electron trails tryme
waveform politics; not much was learned
fit pests plowed mass chaos fine

Ordered chaos, churning loam
peace is made with blood red foam
book of life, weighty tome, sans hoar frost
froth tossed due account Somme.
