Government isn't Adapting Well to National Heating Challenge

Many areas of the nation are experiencing record high temperatures exacerbated by greenhouse gassing. Plainly the U.S. Government is too slow to respond to the challenge. It has failed to adapt with direct action to attempt remediation of high temperatures. People are likely to die when summer heat rises to more than 110F.

Some regulatory changes to encourage transition to electric cars instead of fossil fuel point source pollution emitters have been made, yet that isn’t sufficient. The problem is worse than the given responses could fix.

Science and technological applications would let practical remedies make experiencing the heat easier; such as cheaper air conditioning. Texas lacks a modern power grid as does Nevada to carry solar produced heat to market and around the heat belt. Liquid hydrogen to cool super-conducting power lines in a pipeline buried below ground would let no net loss transmission of electrons to primary distribution hubs. The concept isn’t new and it is still valid.

CRISPR genetic engineering of trees and forests to produce more wood with less pollutants being developed in North Carolina have opened the door to adapting new tech to biology and the ecosphere. Plainly the government should be looking for ways to design new heat and aridity tolerant forests and agriculture should they be needed to replace dying local habitats.

A massive desalinization plan should be developed right away to bring millions of gallons of fresh new water to the southwest. Saltwater siphoned/pumped with solar produced energy could fill a canal system with gates to let it evaporate in the sun with fresh water evaporating collected in transparent lids over the canals to run off in adjacent dual collecting channels. The U.S. Mexican border would be an excellent site to build the pipeline and canals as would the Salt Lake seasonally be a useful place to hold fresh water. Simply allowing a substantial percent of new fresh water to evaporate might increase cloud formation and cool off the S.W. a little.

The government of the United State should prioritize a way to end asphalt highways absorbing heat that is released at night increasing the misery index of select cities. Streets should be resurfaced with light reflecting material or even solar voltaic materials to produce power and increase the nation’s albedo. Because too little is done besides promulgating rhetoric the national heat reduction policy is failing to meet challenges to the national thermostat.

Signals Embedded in SIdewalks for the Blind

 I don't know if they have been invented or applied to city sidewalks yet, however the thought occurred to me that if sensors were placed in sidewalks indicating safe walking paths so blind people could follow them easily; perhaps with the cane that detect the signal; from the sensor-emitters, navigating streets for trhe blind might be easier.

I saw someone walking today with a cane for the blind doing things the old fashioned way. Maybe magnetic pieces injected into concrete would work, It would be even better if magnets were made to send two fields in a sensor and one for going another direction. I am not aware of what other sort of very durable signal emitter could be made that could be detected by a cane and is very cheap so millions could be placed around cities. If a signal could be made by digitaling a shaped magnetic field that tech might be useful .It is topic to think about.

Imagining Other Earths- free course at Corsera

 Princeton University has a free course on-line that is interesting for those wondering about the basic building blocks, dirt or whatever for solar systems and planets besides the one most people presently reside on.

Humanity is Rapidly Moving Toward Obsolescence

 Sure, and have a nice day. A.I. can write that paper for you and spell check it too. It's only print and ideas and A.I. can work that better than most people. So become a muscle builder and see if that robot with A.I. is really faster, cheaper and better withou b'tching about everything all of the time anyway as if being evil was a human requisite.

Evidently OpenAI aka ChatGPT is limited to data before 2021. Maybe just government AI vacuum up data about everything that exists so they can know where everyone is in case there are malcontents that think President Biden is an idiot with his manhood in a lock box in Zelinsky's closet. The government needs to know who such voters are. Don't be one yourself. Like everything put out there by corporate and be thankful you aren't on the Eastern Front. Make a twit for the Gipper.

Americans can ride around in rolling platforms as if they were clown cars for an occupation. It's what they like to do anyway; look at all of the others rolling on down the highway.

Americans can ride around in rolling platforms as if they were clown cars for an occupation. It's what they like to do anyway; look at all of the others rolling on down the highway. So enjoy making wars develop with Russia instead of making peace happen, it's a good way to fell useful, emotional and meaningful. Invent better and costlier weapons to require more weapons in a Marxist helixian upward diactical spiral. Generate some racism and paranoia about racism instead of working economics on just objective economic dollars of real income; fix those that are poor. Wait- poverty doesn't exist. Just fix the war in a year or two and rebuild the place for a few more years of expense and time consumption. One can be confident that A.I. and harware will improve faster than the human rate of positive change.

DeSantis or Trump; Which is the true peace peace and prosperity candidate?

 Is Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump the next Eugene McCarthy like candidate who would demure on nuclear war with Russia and instead swiftly move to end the Ukraine war when elected President next year? A real President of the United States should have Donald Trump's skill at ending military conflict yet also have the sort of pro-environmentalism that was exemplified in Stephen Seagal's speech at the end of his move 'On Dangerous Ground'.

 American economics need go full hog on electric vehicles and electric vehice infrastructure the next decade. Collecting solar power with voltaic input into in-line highway charging surfaces and saturating homes with solar power units should be part of the infrastructure renewal driven through free enterprise.

 The next Republican president has the opportunity to return the U.S.A. to peace and prosperity along environmental line; will it be Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump?

The Presidential Lust for Blood and Wealth not Satisfied Yet

 The Biden administration has dumped American support for Ukraine's war with Russia since it took office and may eventually send U.S. troops to fight directly with Russia. It is as if a bad A.I. program was conducting U.S. foreign policy instead of an intelligent human interested in the well being of Americans.

https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3455199/leaders-agree-to-expedite-ukraines-nato-membership/

The war was never necessary if U.S. leadership had recognized Russia's right to Crimea and Eastern Ukraine as it still should. The administration apparently views real estate the way Europeans did before the first world war and that economic paradigm is somewhat hoary.

If the idiots in D.C. get America involved in a nuclear war or even a protracted cold war Americans won't be better off than they would have been with peace. It would be good if a Libertarian President would withdraw the United States from N.A.T.O. and let the damn Europeans fight their own bloody wars. How can the nation elect people that are, pragmatically, retarded to the office of President?

 A sonnet written by ChatGPT that I will call...


Metaphysic Twilight

In twilight's grasp, when sun begins to wane,
A gentle breeze whispers through fields of gold,
Awakening dreams in hearts that still remain,
In nature's embrace, a tale to be told.

The crimson hues adorn the evening sky,
As stars emerge, their shimmering light aglow,
A tapestry of wonders for each eye,
Unfolding secrets that only night may show.

The moon, a guiding lantern in the dark,
Illuminates the path of wandering souls,
And lends its glow to dreams that leave their mark,
On those who seek to find life's hidden roles.

So let us cherish nights that grace our days,
And let our dreams take flight in twilight's haze.

Joe Biden's World Conquest Battle Royal Plan for N.A.T.O.

 Evidently N.A.T.O. expansion seeks to become the dominant military force on this planet. Besides Turkey trying to lever the Sweden issue to become an EU member, N.A.T.O. plans to let Ukraine join after the war with Russia is concluded in order not to be obliged to start World War Three right away. N.A..T. O. has expanded military ties with Japan whom is supporting Ukraine militarily too and has opened a liasson office with N.A.T.O. Japan may one day be a member of N.A.T.O. too in order to get a better defensive posture against China and North Korea.

The Biden administration sent cluster bombs with cluster fs politically toward rational U.S. foreign policy that should have sought peace with a settlement in Easstern Ukraine with Russia omnstead of a divide the world into N.A.T.O. with Japan vs Russia and China with Bric nations and Africa somewhat neutral (excluding of course Russia and China. The policy is harmful to the USA's real economic and environmental interests with a heavy retro focus on Cold War relations with modern weapons updates. It's a bad fit for world politics and unspeakably stupid.

Something more than materialism

 A thread prompt suggested that Anton Zellinger, the physicist remarked that matter may not explain everything.

Zellinger has written informatively about quantum superposition, photons and quantum entanglement. Materialism or matter is just one aspect of what exists. Mass for instance is energy (vis. Einstein's convertability formula E=mc2) yet it can be understood as something more or less than that. Apparently two-dimensional massless particles experience no time...one requires mass to experience time. 

Those two dimensional particles are slowed down in the Higgs Field and pick up a third dimension. So particles are entangled in the Higgs Field and and become something that for human perceptions and experience resemble mass. Humans and other solid bodies with a steady state are emergent and perhaps contingent phenomena. Zellinger may mean that one cannot reason from the contingent state of matter as if matter is all there is or is even the primary phenomenality of existence. He might not be alluding to spirit (or he might); what can be reasonably inferred is that non-matter two-dimensional particles aren’t the be all and end all of existence. The Math Universe Hypothesis of Tegmark posits that math for-itself is the ‘substance’ of what exists.

The First Human Civilization- Where It's At

I always think of the Middle East or Fertile Crescent as where human civilizations began...you know-Sumer and Akad. Egypt is about equally old. Jericho is said to have had human occupancy from 9000 B.C. and that's pretty old. Maybe it wasn't actually a civilzation though. I think the actual first human civilization- the one mentioned in the Bible, was washed away by a flood and also by sea level rise when the Wisconsin Ice age started ending about 30,000 years ago. That might have ocurred ten or fifteen thousand years ago-who can say. Perhaps there are relics of the first civilization remaining below the Persian Gulf deeply covered by mud. The Bible says that Noah's descendents went on to join or found civilizations. Perhaps they stopped in Jericho to get a drink of water on a hot day.
