The Earth's Environmental Thermal Balance has Some Fairly Wild Swings

 Apparently keeping a planet's atmosphere in a steady state of thermal equilibrium is difficult unless it reaches an extreme of hot like Venus or cold like Pluto. The Earth does have a naturally adjusting carbon sequestration feedback loop, yet ongoing social changes to the naturally correcting thermal equilibrium are much faster than nature can adjust to such that it would keep the ecosphere suitable for human life.

If one made a planet somewhere near a star collecting mass , sending it to a collecting spot and letting gravity compact it, one might need to plan for instability from the heat arriving from a star that would affect whatever atmosphere and surface was designed in addition to intrinsic heat radiated from the planet's interior if one has made it replete with radioactive elements.

It might be worth fabricating a planet with a steady input of elements requisite for human life that won't need to receive heat from a star; at least an advanced civilization building planet-size human habitats might work in that direction. Otherwise the natural course would be inherently unstable or unsuitable for human life without ongoing corrections to the environment.

Drones and A.I. Guided War Vessels Could Replace Human Crewed Navies

 Drones may be the future of cost-effective combat operations since A.I. is about to be ubiquitous. The attack on the bridge seems primitive yet practical. A.I. applications to surface ships may change the paradigm of human serviced ships to one of machines in any sort of form crewed by A.I. and or robots; anything can become a drone, and liberty ships could be anything in any form. Any desired shape able to carry any weapons complement will make downsizing and stealthifying de rigeur- plus they can be kamikaze without a problem. Russians could use A.I. and drone container platforms to move goods over the water if they chose to- I have no idea why they rely on  roads and fossil fuel burning air pollution platforms. 

War may become far more inhuman and technical than it ever was soon enough. The paradigm for designing A.I. commanded weapons systems is a tabula rasa with imgination being the only limit. Lethal weapons platforms will be far cheaper, faster and better than human served ships with designs built to make human friendly environments. Without humans aboard weapons platforms can be far smaller and radically quicker and simpler tom conceal. It's time humanity diversify into more profitable activities without the gratuituous casualties of war. It is bad leadership that makes conflicts happen rather than ordinary souls.

The Future of Lost Hope (a poem)


Shot through the heart
peace felt the catamount claws tear
deeply through massive muscle
biting, sharp

A puerile sin of brothels musky loam
sunset Saturdays cast shadows
long over impressionist flowers
crumbling brick oppulents

Gambling cabald fields of death
profits of land acquisition
bourgeoning Belgian brews
translating timed fork semblent waves

An idiot on the heights
lonely wind of artful cashed tillery
pushed io the bone piles
rushed before he’d readied

Tyrannosaur mechs of AI war
crawling indexes deploying mimes
names; mames of redacted nimes
fine buildings of banked twerkery

Shirking left the ground kissed
vomit erupted guts
revolting masses passed
so grown green.

Evolving Faith of Intelligent Design

 Evolving faith of intelligent design; not in a crank science kind of way. Intelligent designers of everything that exists inclusive of the physical universe. Philosophically speaking evolution is a phenomenal path. Regarding material objects, if they may considered to be something other than energy that is locked in to a steady state, matter need be in motion in some way. If it weren’t in motion matter could be frozen in place like ice, yet without a temperature. Mass in such a condition would be in thermal equilibrium and completely unlike anything that commonly exists; mass is energy and has characteristics of energy. It is always seeking to change or break down it’s bonds of stability. The beginning of the Universe, or prior to it immediately has been speculated to be a singularity with that unchanging nature in perfect balance. It does seem somewhat challenging to believe that a compacted universe mass-energy in the tiniest imaginable state could be self-binding with its own gravity or something greater.

If mass needs to be in motion there are fundamentally two paths it could take. One would be ordered motion and the second would be disordered or chaotic motion. Evolution is regarded as ordered motion. It could also be regarded as change that occurs within deterministic paradigmata set within physical laws of force. Evolving or changing systems are the form that matter flows in.

Physical systems with order and simple laws of operation are situations that may be configured with intelligent design. Perhaps everything is the observable Universe is a product of intelligent design. God may have designed it, yet so also might the first advanced civilization to arise anyplace that learned all there is to know of quantum mechanics and cosmology.

Rather than living just on planets like volunteer plants in the wild beings of advanced civilizations might exploit knowledge of construction methods to fabricate entire Universes of their own design, or at minimum their own solar systems.

Inflation Rate Skyrockets Age of the Universe

 Astrophysicists reported a 100% inflation on estimates of the age of the Universe. Instead of being precisely 13.7 billion years old it is believed now that it may instead be 26.7 billion years old. Therefore, for a limited time only, the price of the Universe is 50% off.

ChatGPT writes an avante guard play

 I asked ChatGPT to write an avante guard play. This is what it wrote...


Title: The Kaleidoscopic Symphony

Setting: The stage is bare except for a large, shimmering kaleidoscope positioned at the center. The backdrop is an ever-changing projection of abstract shapes and colors, synchronized with the play's progression.

Characters:

  1. A: The Seeker of Harmony
  2. B: The Fragmented Soul
  3. C: The Enigmatic Presence
  4. D: The Voice of Chaos

Act 1: The Fractured World

(Scene 1) A stands before the kaleidoscope, mesmerized by its constant transformations. B enters, appearing disoriented, with fragmented pieces of a puzzle they clutch in their hands.

B: (whispers) I'm lost, shattered, incomplete.

A: (reaches out) Let me help you find your place.

(Scene 2) As A and B attempt to arrange the fragments into coherence, C emerges from the shadows, moving gracefully like a ghostly figure.

C: (enigmatically) The puzzle is but an illusion, and yet it holds the key.

A: (intrigued) What do you mean?

C: The patterns reveal the way to harmony. Seek within.

(Scene 3) The kaleidoscope's projections intensify as A, B, and C dance around it. They speak in fragments, forming a surreal poetic dialogue.

A: Kaleidoscope's gaze, divine inception. B: My pieces ache, soul's disconnection. C: Harmonic truth veiled by perception.

Act 2: Harmonizing Chaos

(Scene 1) D emerges, a chaotic force, disrupting the patterns projected onto the backdrop. The colors turn dark, and the shapes become jagged.

D: (laughs manically) Order, harmony - mere illusions! Embrace chaos!

A: (firmly) Chaos is a necessary counterpart to harmony, but not its conqueror.

(Scene 2) A, B, and C engage in a dance with D, blending chaos and harmony, trying to find a balance. The kaleidoscope reflects their movements.

A: (whispers) Embrace chaos, yet don't let it consume.

(Scene 3) D's manic laughter subsides, and they begin to integrate their movements with the others, forming a chaotic yet strangely captivating symphony.

Act 3: The Kaleidoscopic Symphony

(Scene 1) The kaleidoscope's projections and the characters' movements reach a crescendo, forming a mesmerizing symphony of light, shapes, and emotions.

(Scene 2) A, B, C, and D freeze in their positions, the kaleidoscope's projections engulfing them. The backdrop displays a harmonious amalgamation of colors and patterns.

(Scene 3) The characters break free from their frozen states, transformed into ethereal, unified beings. They speak as one entity.

A/B/C/D: (in unison) We are the Symphony, the harmony within chaos, the chaos within harmony.

Conclusion: The kaleidoscope, now a symbol of unity and understanding, projects a breathtaking panorama of beauty and interconnectedness. The characters, having transcended their individual struggles, stand together, representing the duality of existence.

The audience leaves the theater with a newfound appreciation for the intricate dance of chaos and harmony in the world around them, understanding that embracing both aspects can lead to a profound sense of unity and balance. The play leaves them with questions and wonders about the ever-changing kaleidoscope of life and their place within it.

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.

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.
