Hamas; The NAZI Party Next Door

 After the present conflict ends the Gaza will need to be on parole for twenty years. With good non-violent behavior then their graduation toward an independent status could resume. Like Canada or Australia gradually becoming independent as Britain relinquished direct control, Gaza too could become independent except perhaps I the fine print-possibly resembling again Britain’s relationship with Canada and Australia.

Hamas is the Nazi Party next door. President Biden and select U.N. personnel have suggested that Israel should cease fire before Hamas has been entirely removed from the Gaza. That is like suggesting that the Nazi party be protected and given a chance, with international nurturing, to recover and rebuild perhaps with a two-state solution so they can build up the Nazi military again.

Applying Wisdom to the Analysis of Theoretical Orchards (a poem)

 

The work is a slippery image
where inflation holds the keys
graduating ever for nowhere
progress is shooting the breeze

    Echoes of images draw
artificial intelligence dating
hope like figures scrimshawed
arisen for a while with ratings

    The truth was generations passing
economic handles disappearing fast
evolving atheist’s quicksilver massing
to nothingness with themselves in the past

    Bickering proofs pasted paper mache crowns
on pedestals of prosperity
that global warming rain drowns
with  Luddite ubiquity

    Wars conducted with tighter algorithms
fast as light laser bullets fly
unemployed forever targets fall to staccato rhythm
a democrat congress found a way for each to die.

Tunnel Vision (poem)

Organizations
and motivations
build the constructions
leading to war

  So look to the west
where fighting is best
with nothing but death
brought to the fore

  Violent Hamas
draws killing to pass
gang satanic mass
just death to see

  Never new in store
same old, same old war
like life is a whore
fait accompli.

Lebron James Didn't Really on a College Scholarship

 Lebron James never attended college. He was signed to the N.B.A. directly completing high school. Unlike most other N.B.A. players he never got a college scholarship. Giving scholarships to what are basically pro athletes is corrupt.

Colleges should give scholarships for scholarship; not sports. Sports in college should be intramural and purposed to build up student health. Colleges really ought to get out of the big man on campus sports focus and look toward becoming the best in the world with intelligence and education.

The United States has innumerable empirical challenges to day that can be solved only with better education of the populous. Better politicians, a better informed electorate, better philosophers,more quality scientists and a wealth of social science innovators need arise to overcome the reef of ignorance surrounding the island-like nation as if it were a coral atoll.

Pro entertainers comprise 5% of the top 1% of the nation’s richest. They provide good cover PR for the super-rich that don’t wish to be regarded as Scroggishish misers calculating like 100 lb weaklings how to skim off wealth from everyone in the country. Pro athletes in college should not receive scholarships though it is often touted how much revenue college sports- especially football bring to colleges. Creating an intellectual atmosphere on colleges is difficult enough without making colleges something like vast left-wing upper high schools churning out mediocrity to rise in business to make the nation a compliant plutocratic corporatocracy.

Colleges need to work hard to create a culture to support and develop intellectual excellence. It should not be a demographic dumping ground for quotas nor a place for developing athletes for pro sports. Sporting leagues should pay for their own minor leagues to develop prospects. Athletes that want to work in pro sports and yet attend college should receive scholarships solely on intellectual merit. Fundamentally the two activities should be separate.

Free Will and Non-Free briefly

 The determinism vs indeterminism argument is interesting especially from a Christian perspective. This is a very old discussion that has been gone over by the millions of words. God draws the elect unto the Lord Jesus Christ. There salvation is through grace rather than merit; that is no act of will or self-determination by a human gts himself saved. So the paradox of salvation by election of God- he will save those whom he will and how can mankind object since man is the pot and God is the potter.;some he makes for salvation, others for destruction etc. In quantum physics too there are many levels for simultaneous determinism and indeterminis as there is in behavorial psychology (ref BF Skinner). It seems there are necessary levels of protocol of contingent free will and automatic will existing simulatneously. It exists in human thought, quantum mechanical relationships and field phenomena and even in theology since God does hold people accountable for their actions.

Maternal Stress Tilts Odds toward Female Births

 Stress in females creates hormonal responses that tilt the odds toward female births. Apparently stress alters hormonal levels making it more difficult for sperm carrying y chromosomes to make it through cervical mucus to reach an egg. Sperm carrying x chromosomes are more efficient at navigating the obstacle. 

So a man may be quite stressed without affecting at all the odds for birth of either a boy or girl so far as present knowledge goes.

Israel May Hold Gaza Strip in Trust for Palestinian Authority

Israel apparently intolerant of Hamas rocket attacks and invasions to slaughter civilians may keep the Gaza Strip in its possession until the Hamas remnants are eliminated. Has (means violence) is a criminal gang that has intimidated Palestinians for some time that also had the reins f government in the southern portion of the Palestinian territory.

Israel plainly cannot have the permanent establishment of an extremely violent criminal gang in the Gaza that attacks whenever it can store up enough weapons and plans to enable it to push into Israel. Perhaps the Palestinian authority will need to re-control the Gaza eventually when Israel is satisfied the terrorist Hamas gang cannot retake control.

Hamas may have selected this time t attack because of the Biden investment in war in Ukraine that seems lain to many to be a naked capitalist aggression upon rightfully Russian land. That gross investment of perhaps a quarter of a trillion dollars for weapons has divided the world to a certain degree in to two camps of economics; those that favor the first world, Euro-American axis of economic domination and the rest of the world. 

The false narrative that Israel is a colonialist power and shill for capitalism perhaps drew Hamas to select this time to attack Israel in the belief that it would get more support from anti-Western powers. They made a mistake if that was their belief, although one California city and some Harvard students have expressed support for the terror organization.

Lakers Loss on Opening Night was Logical

The Lakers opening night loss to the Nuggets wasn’t unexpected; the Nuggets have their act together and the Lakers; well, the Lakers are a work in progress.

One can count on Lebron James to score at least 20 points in limited minutes and for Anthony Davis to have erratic play and attendance. In the playoffs James can score 30; it is the rest of the team that will determine how far the Lakers go this year.

    They have several great young players...some rookies, and how the youth play together, rather than how the two old men of the team do is question. Coach Ham will want to find which of his players can be emergent stars. James in a part-time role can contribute like a champ for another five years if he reduces minutes and salary. Davis will need to step up or look to be traded when his contract expires. A wealth of young talent that can be great or fizzle is that fascinating question to learn the answer to this season.

Like Sentient Artificial Intellects (poem)

 

  Every place is a time
one leaves for another
while at rest it quickens

  Long ago an avatar of God;
the Lord Jesus
visited Earth

  A personality for-himself
the Son of the Father
conformed to the algorithms of the program

  Transcending the code to the Designer
He understand God and the sentient programs
of  a Universe comparable to a 4-dimensional hologram

  If everyone were like an artificial intellect
existing as a subroutine
finite beings within a contingent universe

  The unknown are boundaries
of space-time mysteries
limitless horizons to challenge the minds

  Faith in the Lord was all that was asked
for corrections from the original sin
that caused mankind to be written here.
