Reo Gaetz Worked like an Anarchist to Remove McCarthy

 Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz working the removal of Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy without a plan to replace him worked like an anarchist that wants to get rid of government without a viable plan to replace it with a new one. Party anarchists and those unconcerned with public perceptions of their inefficient clown car approach to governing aren’t doing themselves a favor in regard to the general election next year. Republicans were regarded as efficient and competent. They are losing the opportunity to pass favorable legislation as if they don’t give a damn. Pragmatism counts.

The Witless Foreign Policy of President Biden

A brief comment on the witless foreign policy of President Biden that egresses America’s strategic world economic position deleteriously. Apparently he wants to hold help to Israel hostage to providing 60 billion dollars more for weapons, cash discretion etc to Ukraine. Forty billion for Israeli and sixty billion for Ukraine; a nice even number of 100 billion dollars to add to the U.S. public debt. It will increase inflation domestically and increase interest payments of the national debt.

  Poor Americans might enjoy a 60 billion dollar Christmas gift from the U.S. Treasury. That aside, if spending 60 billion on foreign affairs Africa would be a better investment. Buying a few billion dollars of solar panels from China to improve rural African life. A few billion more on incinolet electric toilets running on solar power to improve rural African sanitation and conserve water for agriculture, and one would need to think about how to spend another 30 or 40 billion remaining from the 60. With no strings attached the U.S.A. would get some respect in Africa and better influence policy later.

Israel of course probably doesn’t need 40 billion dollars to improve security. Twenty billion is probably plenty yet of course the President wants that sixty billion for Ukraine so Israel needs to be the get the remainder of 100 billion for a plausible marketing pitch. Is Ukraine blackmailing the President over some Hunter Biden misadventure in Ukraine?

President Biden keeps degrading America’s international position and reinforcing the division of the planet’s political economy in two camps. Which one is Camp Runamuck is yet to be determined. The best policy is to end the Ukraine war directly with national sovereignty being given to where Russian and Ukraine military forces are now and immediately  invest in rebuilding both sides and restoring full economic ties without recriminations to either side. Find peace, move on and get over the hillbilly errors compounding from the past.

Can A.I. be used to check truth values

Karl Popper said (paraphrase) that "you can't prove reason, you just recognize it". Falsehood may be as difficult to prove since like language and perspective there is a lot of particular use meanings that are temporary rather than universal. Of course, with large database and a finite lexicon algorithms can and are used to check truth values.

Fat Rabbits (poem)

 

The coyotes are more comfortable
fat rabbits to chase
frost soon to arrive
I think of chile powder
warming hands
and a steaming cup of coffee.

People have their own unique point of view

 That is sort of a paradigm of general relativity if one applies the principle to space-time, yet bear in mind that they may perceive different slices of reality and 'real objects' are two dimensional, massless objects embedded in the Higgs field with an apparent 3rd dimension, and people experience 'reality' from where they are at, which is never where someone else is located.

Solszhenitsyn in the Gulag of a communist Stalinist society was quite practical- that is the meaning of what he said was accurate politically speaking. The Gulag had two classes of inmates- common criminals and politcal prisoners like Alexander S. The myth of a communist Utopia had bitter relevance for political prisoners whom had incurred disfavor of the state. Matters of the heart- a will to be free and live in freedom, and the search for a perfect social order, were somewhat antithetical when the state sought to eliminate resistance or non-conformity in order to attain that Utopia of dreams.

Nature is 2-dimensional massless particles embedded in the Higgs Field that seem to have mass when they gain an additional dimension (3rd) being slowed in the feld Nature could have been created by an eternal God or perhaps even a very advanced A.I. created in another Universe created by God. In either casethe physics seem to be logical with uncertainty and indeterminismwithin determinism; for know we see through a glass darkly.

The Quran scrools for instance, of the Old Testament, cost the lives of those who wrote them. Legionaires slaughtered that community. None of the Bible canon was written by fiction authors. Scholarship and writing was so rigourous they missed not a jot or iota- and the same books seperated by hundreds of years were found not to have changed 1%.

Actually everything is perfect that isn't an imperfect copy of something else. Perfection is simply flawless imitation or performance of a standard. Things that are original are in-thmselves and for-themselves and cannot be imperfectsince there isn't anything or anyone original can be in meaningful comparison with. Otherwise one gets some sort of logical fallacy like post hoc ergo propter hoc except the original had no line of subsequents- those were grafted on.

Christopher Hitchens wrote- "“Faith is the surrender of the mind, it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other animals."

It’s a logically weird statement such as M=R and if R then not F, If M and F(M=A)/.It would be a pretty hocus pocus trick-a super-power to transform a human brain and heathy mind into that of a non-human all-of-a-sudden with a thought. It also begs the premise that R cannot equal F. It is a way of dehumanizing people something like Eichman might have preferred as he regarded Jews as sub-human especially or because of their faith.

People view the world from their own unique position

 That is sort of a paradigm of general relativity if one applies the principle to space-time, yet bear in mind that they may perceive different slices of reality and 'real objects' are two dimensional, massless objects embedded in the Higgs field with an apparent 3rd dimension, and people experience 'reality' from where they are at, which is never where someone else is located.

Like Genetically Engineered Produce Should Books Written by A.I. Require Labels

 Should books written by A.I. legally require labelling as such-as did G.M.O. corn for a time in order that people may know which books, opinions and ideas were written by humans and which not?

Reasons Why Wars Occur and misc.

 War is the default dumb remedy when intelligence is lacking from one side or the other or both in a conflict. To be part of the establishment some day youth as minions in a social structure with dumb self-seeking politicians must participate and die; and if they live they can share in whatever spoils arise.

Pain is a warning- a signal for when things are going wrong. Learning is good however and does not require the presence of pain to exist. People have said "no pain, no gain" and that differs from learning. Learning fills in knowledge of the unknown. One might enter a room for example and experience a new odor; a sweet perfume, and learn many things from it immediately. That learning won't be enhanced for instance if one were to run one's head into a wall to get pain and increase learning of the meaning of the perfume. Those who love learning may exprience pleasure in the process.

Love of Wisdom or alethea aka philosophy seeks the truth. It is not just about an inquiry into mechanics and cosmology. We know today that even matter is an emergent, secondary and apparent phenomenon of massless particles being entangled in the Higgs field so they seem to have a third dimension rather than just two like most massless particles. One of course might ask 'Why did God create the world and mankind?' and get John's answer that 'God so loved the orld that he gave his only begotten Son that whomsoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life'. Plato and Plotinus believed in God-as did Socrates- fairly philosophical heavyweights to throw out. One might read all of modern philosophy and classic to discover that the truth is just God as three persons in one.

Imperfect Character is Universal

The question of why anything exists rather than nothing was a question that Plotinus considered in The Enneads. Why would The One order anyt...
