Maybe it would be useful to invent a complete automatic bed making device that is voice activated. If one doesn’t already exist the tool could save time.
Trouble is that patents cost too much for the poor to afford. The US Government never did lower the cost or reduce the period of patent exclusivity to give years with 10% royalties going to inventor for a century when the invention goes public domain. The economy could be stimulated if the system were brought from the 19th to the 21st century.
Hair that needed combing
leaves embedded in complicated entanglements
she was a wild woman
from beyond the snow line
She was a call for-herself unto-others
wolves in the yard loved her too
fate barely keeping them at bay
where they chased after deer along the shore
Like the fog on the horizon
a Marilyn Monroe archetype
her assets drew followers
though caller ID said she was from Nigeria
The legend of scam was a hearty pudding
drawing emotion like a troop surge
so onward rode the six-hundred
into the jaws of financial transfers.

Marx had to write lot. Writers write and some of the rich, maybe the vulgar ones, try to prevent that. Philosophical writers ask questions about social justice and scribble thousands of words about it; discomforting the upper classes.
Plainly Marx and socialists maladroitly sought to oppose Christian faith in their efforts toward political revolution. Europeans had a lot of church/state wealth leadership packed together. Churches owned a lot of land before the Protestant insurrection against catholicism's monopoly upon legal meetings of faith. The socialist revolutionaries were idiots in that onerous divide and conquers agenda though. God is actually amused by the follies of mankind at all levels. The socialists could make no subtle religious distinctions on faith or biblical content being ham fisted.
God isn't mankind whom slog about in the morass of original sin that is reinforced and contained in thermodynamics. Jesus was what God was like when he became man. What rich person or government does what the Lord said to do? Socialists may as well have been in the mob demanding crucifixion of the Son of God. Idiots.
Marx may have known that opium was a trendy dope of the rich and that the poor couldn't afford it. The poor, who are blessed from a certain perspective in that they have a better chance than the rich to enter the kingdom of God. The rich cannot just buy their way to heaven. The poor did have the consolation of faith in God. Some people have notable happiness and positive brain chemistry changes in prayer.
Marx was influenced by the notable atheist Feuerbach and also may have had an intellectual elitist's contempt for the masses lacking 'class consciousness'. That is they weren't 'woke' and didn't know that various socialists believed the masses should have an insurrection against the rich and royalty at least to be respectable of they incapable of honest revolution.
As a sophisticated career librarian Marx had all of the books he could ever want after his philosophy career ended. Marx was a great economist and social analyst obviously, yet really less on the gospel of salvation and that it promoted equal rights and even democracy. Jesus had high regard for the poor.
My poem ‘Configurations’ does refer to scripture and things Jesus said on a couple of lines. Philosophically there are two concepts named monism and pluralism. Pluralism does exist within monism and I believe that is the way modern quantum cosmology needs to look at things...and it occurs temporally. As far as human society goes it would function much better if everyone made the right moral decisions, and of course they don't.
'Configurations'
Numbering the stones
each piece of metamorphosed rock
broken into fragments with time and stress
is like the hair on a head
or feathers of a sparrow
articles counted to the last follicle
each jot and iota of meaning
quantified and calculated
appearances emerged, existed and disappeared
Consider the lilies
grown living structures upon structures
minerals glistening in sunshine and rain
even in moonlight
with gluons and quarks snug in nuclei
atoms forming molecules
everything accounted for
in the pluralistic division of a solitary field
being is becoming.
Space is nothing more than the way sentient humans perceive the structures of mass and energy. It is on a macro level equivalent to the gaps between quantum particles within an atom; and it's known those 'particles' are actually waves. People are locked into perceptions of mass/energy/space because of their own composition existing within known and unknown fields.
Plainly the United States has run amuck with support for the western position in Ukraine. It has taken a wrong branch that it won't easily be able to recover from. Ukraine was Russian for hundreds of years before the communists took in over and naturally they expect to regain control of it, as they have often had to fight the west to keep control of their land. Bad Democrat Party politics since the end of the cold war obdurately overturned peace and laid the foundation for war. The Democrat Party has continued to double down on building up and sustaining the war as if one day their version of modern history would be broadly accepted and few remaining people literate in history of Eurasia will remain to contest their wrong and veritably evil viewpoint.
Plainly the conflict has been continuously avoidable for more than 30 years if the United States would have supported recognition of Russian claims on Ukraine. Even now the war should stop at present military held locations in the conflict rather than continue. If only reason would prevail instead of great political lies bought into by the U.S. administration and N.A.T.O. Fomenting nuclear war and dividing the world in two economic camps was idiotic and a betrayal of what N.A.T.O. was supposed to be in the first place of keeping the peace as a guarantor.
Yet Democrats reason 'Who cares' when 'bullshit walks and money talks' for international relations, truth is what is most useful to land annexers and all they need to is propagandize the public to build up knee-jerk patriotic fervor for and evil, superfluous war.
Hamas' use of the main hospital in Gaza City for a military HQ and weapons cache reminded me of the classic movie 'Hard Boiled'.

Some support theocracy and theocratic influence and others hate it. Christian morals could be said to be pro-human these days as few advocate asceticism while formerly humanism partisans tend toward support for a broad range of inhuman powers that subvert human and family interests.
Some hate church cosmology concerning origin of the Universe while some Christians believe that evolution is a sub-set of God's way of developing the universe so it's suitable for containing fallen mankind (modern hermeneutics).
Some Democrats support socialism rather than democracy and a few socialists prefer communism. It tends to balance out.
A nation with lots of people that value aretaic ethics, education and economic and environmental pragmatism is bound to do well if it has classic Christian values too. It might be pointed out that some nations could have strong moral values that are wicked and religion that is pagan. Those nations would lack the balance in politics required for sustainable democracy too.
I think no one besides atheists and the devil would oppose direct government by God. That isn't a human political system though. There is no human representative government of God that wouldn't be implicitly corrupt as humans are. A theocracy wouldn't be democracy. It would effectively disenfranchise most voters. It would work something like a communist or fascist government for the elites would be the same kind of people that appear in any form of government besides democracy with the ideology being a flag of convenience.
Luther's 95 thesis were posted in 1517. In that day expressing public support for democracy just didn't work. In Europe all of the governments were royal with zero tolerance for the ancient Greek demos being revived. The first short-lived modern Republic was created in Holland in the 17th century about 150 years after the 95 thesis. The protestant reformation stimulated political pluralism leading to the US democracy about 260 years after the 95 thesis. Even Luther had to publish in an environment with royals all around. German princes did support him because they had faith yet also were glad to be independent from the Catholic Habsburg empire. The Smalcauldian War followed. The Dewitt brothers that founded the Dutch Republic were torn apart by a mob and reputedly eaten.
Just another guess at why the expansion of the Universe seems to be accelerating; the Higgs field isn't flat, has curvature and it expands space with scalar increases of force with increasing curvature. One seems to travel faster or at least cover more space at the edge of a merry-go-round than toward the center. It might also act with different force angles at different locations in time forcing the expansion of space-time.
Maybe it's a bit of evidence for the universe existing on the event horizon of a black hole.
https://news.yahoo.com/universe-expanding-faster-theory-predicts-132133980.html
Alternatively dark energy might be called 'The broadcast media effect'. It could be the Higgs field is warped and its angle makes spacetime appear to expand as time increases. Or as has been said the universe is located on the surface of a vast black hole of higher dimensions, and from the inflation, as spacetime increases the curvature increase the rate of change. Who knows what it is- a ploy by five dimensional rich ets to doge income tax.
