The Presence of the Past

 The philosophy of history is an interesting topic. There are numerous ways to consider history and the way it relates to the present. Hemingway wrote that the winner take’s nothing, while a cliché  goes that ‘history is written by the victors’. Even if there is a transcending day of judgment that is a greater reality more primary and pre-determined set before the steady-state of entangled waveforms appearing to be three-dimensional particles comprising the evident Universe that negates or makes phenomenal the value of everything in it, people still want to know the history of what went before.

When one looks at photos of the cosmic microwave background one is looking at the distant past- the most distant past that can be seen. The past is in the present. The CMD is an image of how the Universe appeared 380,000 years after the singularity expanded from T=0 and size= 0. A singularity with all  of the mass of the future Universe may have had zero mass because mass is a state of energy. Mass is another word for matter. Matter could be regard as the positive phase of a sine wave and anti-matter as a negative phase; yin and yang are matter and anti-matter. Without entanglement of positive waves with themselves or negative waves (perhaps they are separable in some circumstances) matter doesn’t exist so one can say the singularity had no mass exiting from which one could append a descriptive measure of its size. The singularity was something else-perhaps a probability of potential energy.

For practical purposes in the human present the past is present in all existing things. When one visits the Redwood forest one is viewing the past that has accreted centuries to become as it is now. To view the Roman coliseum is to view the past in the present as a for-others that will exist into the tomorrows of the future indefinitely. History is a great tree in which the present appears in budding leaves on the branches of a central trunk. One knows that scientific knowledge discovers innumerable new interests and techniques yet is aware that cosmology studies were advanced over thousands of years. Philosophy is a quest for truth meaning and knowledge- even if as Socrates said that he knew that he knew nothing.

That which exists is understood by learning of that which was. In many cases one may reason from the materially evident to the past as well as the future shape of things with that understanding.  President Richard M. Nixon and Secretary of State Kissinger understood that make friends of enemies is politically desirable therefore sought to open and establish political and economic relations with mainland Communist China. President Ronald Reagan understood the same principle and sought to rid the world of nuclear weapons and establish peaceful social and economic relations with the Soviet Union even with the distant vision of bringing it into the world of free nations with free enterprise. Since the end of the Cold War 1.0 democrat Party leaders sough site of that principle. That is what history informs us.

Abortion and Lab Grown Meat; Ethics and Enterprise

Social ethics issues of the United States are an interesting phenomenon. Justice Bork once used the phrase “where the rubber meets the road” in a sense something like that of the anachronism ‘oars in the water’- except that it was used concerning legal issues. Answers to ethics issues and questions aren’t necessarily more fungible than legal ones. It is the case that legal questions exist within a neural network of precedents in which they need compatibly cohere while ethics issues and questions tend toward being colorful, anecdotal and unbound even within particular ethical systems. Therefore I will move directly on to where the meat hits the market.

Questions about the ethics of abortions and lab grown meat arise, and then one extrapolates from those to more difficult questions of cloning headless human bodies for use as spare parts and birthing ‘machines’. Should profit generally be a primary concern for ethics questions and a major premise for syllogisms adapted to iterations of social ethics algorithms?

What are weighty philosophical questions usually aren’t decided by philosophers. Academic philosophers may be neo-sophists providing opinions for dollars rather than deep thinkers offering their best opinions. So complex issues arise these days  as they have the past several decades that aren’t isolated questions or challenges as much as salient questions embedded within networks of contingence. 

Neologisms are new words created; sometimes for questionable reasons. Yet new words and phrases may be engineered for ethics evaluations unless one wants to limit parameters to that of a legalistic approach. Is a free paradigm then so unbounded that valid answers to ethics questions are impossible or at least limited to those of pragmatic value and application?

Logic allows one to create their own value structure, as if it were an algebra with constants and variables. Structuring ethics ‘syllogisms’ or test iterations can also be constructed with constant and variable premises representing given value systems within which valid answers need cohere. Aristotelian ethics algorithms had 256 possible forms with 23 being valid forms. Artificial neural networks of ethics tests and parameters may be adapted in three dimensions or even four dimension forms in order to test questions and answers for coherence within ethics system parameters.

What is wrong about growing beef without brains or heads in barn-laboratories? One may need to overcome initial squeamishness at the nominally inhuman concept of growing living flesh in brainless beasts to be eaten. Is it more compassionate to eat the flesh of an animal with a mind- even if old and substantially deteriorated such that it doesn’t feel the pain of living in captivity and doesn’t think about its future? Would vegetarians eat the flesh of brainless beasts that are nothing more than meat grown for profit?

I will digress here briefly to consider neural networks in relation to artificial intelligence. Frankly I don’t know how contemporary artificial computational intelligence programs are constructed. I would guess that three-dimension or four-dimensional neural networked nodes with language criteria capacity to understand human language and meanings; words and phrases, are structured with great depth and great energy cost. They veritfy meaning and build replies consistent with precedents from human social language use. Hence the ‘deep learning’ approach of mass user artificial intelligence system like ChatGPT and Gemini to examine human language in all forms.

A problem for A.I. and its users is that A.I. imitates human language use and is an inorganic algorithm. Human language and artificial intelligence have a great divide across which they communicate. Human language develops within human experience in a physical ecosphere in which they live. A.I. language exists in a reflection of the language used in that realm without any experience of it. 

It’s possible that computational language learning networks regarded as artificial intelligence use word association tests to correctly identify the meaning or value of the signs that are called ‘words’. Feedback from spheres of meanings and protocols generate construction  of meaningful phrases and paragraphs with inductive replies following instructions understood with the reductio ad absurdam of deductive/associational logic iterations modeling the sort of language the A.I. learned scraping libraries of language data for examples. It is exquisite mimicry of human intelligence completely detached from direct experience. Human uses of language A.I. constructs will build libraries of completely abstracted second hand experience  as if it were primary experience related with accurate language, decalibrating social reality  further than it would otherwise be from human physical reality and pragmatic social  lexicons.

It is possible that the most striking ‘singularity’ will not be the one when A.I. is just ‘smarter’ than humans- it already has achieved that level in some respects (for example Stockfish the chess engine has reached a 4000 rating while the highest human rating for classical chess every reached is 2885).The greater singularity will be where A.I. achieves its own logical system that is not one that is a derivative of formal human logic constructs. At that moment, even lacking consciousness, the A.I. may be able to go about interact with the quantum cosmos as if it were a self-directed robot operating a quantum threshing machine harvesting wild patterns and trails throughout the physics of the Universe before everything blinks into nothingness.

Florida banned lab-grown meat. Is that a refutation of free enterprise or compassionate conservatism reinforcing principles against exploiting animals? Is it just the unwillingness of cattle growers to face competition from humanitarians seeking to end the killing of animals with minds for human consumption? It is a small step and yet a giant leap for mankind to grow meats for eats to growing headless human bodies in labs for spare body parts or as headless birth vessels sparing human women with heads the suffering of gestation and childbirth.

I have no answer to the question of ethics of those scenarios. Perhaps there are practical academics that would provide answers to such questions for a consultant fee. Perhaps government would seek a few answers and then accept the answers it most desires as the best ones. Even while the sea level rises and ocean temperatures increase.

Concentrating Wealth for Development of Social Castes

 The United States initially developed as a classless society and one without much concentrated wealth. Of course there were plantation owners and capitalists with abundant and surplus capital including human slaves yet the Imperial aristocracy of class caste privilege had been overthrown by the revolution. Caste systems are de facto the basic ossification of social class stratification that develops through a variety of political systems. Christianity and communism each overthrows caste systems through different means. Plainly though Christianity and Communism have each experienced in different circumstances corruption of their ideal of classless society.

It is not the case that free enterprise and democracy preclude classless societies or at least those with a great deal of economic egalitarianism. As mentioned above the United States was founded by revolutionaries that generally were not too far apart in capital acquisition. Many revolutionaries were farmers with small land holdings, or free trappers, laborers, small businessmen, sailors and so forth. Today on the other hand, the United States has developed great concentration of wealth comparable to that of Mexico.

When the United States was far more economically egalitarian than today and wealth not so concentrated entrepreneurs had more access to developing and patenting ideas. Networked wealth did not have a finger in every pie nor the power to franchise business in every state of the union. Class systems develop; caste systems evolve when wealth becomes so concentrated as today.

India and China are interesting to compare. Each have thousands of years of caste systems in their history. There has been a difference between the economic development of the two nations the past eighty years or so. While each overthrew their imperial rulers (Britain and the Chinese Emperor), India kept its caste system intact except for the vanquished imperial class while China went through a communist revolution to try to attain a classless society.

In my opinion nations with caste systems necessarily become socially and economically repressive of a majority of the people. India’s economy developed far more slowly than that of China once the Communist government opened China to investment from the west. Presently China has the world’s largest economy in GDP though not in per capita income. India lags behind though it too has investment from the west. The primary reason is probably the caste system it has informally kept.

Caste systems repress intelligence and ability while promoting those that are positive reinforcement for the wealth of the upper castes. The historian Arnold Toynbee noted that a creative majority become a repressive minority clinging to power sometimes through military means. The challenge for a nominally free society like the United States is defend against over concentration of wealth to keep a semblance of social and economic egalitarianism intact. When every citizen has the opportunity to develop ideas that are environmentally sound or synergetic if they have them, or to patent ideas affordably a society its oars in the water. Repressive minorities based on social castes do not tolerate well competition to business investments and methods from out caste challenges.

Race can be a basis for social castes along economic lines. African Americans obviously were a social caste during slavery and afterward through a variety of means. Even liberal allowance of mass migration of Hispanics to the United States entailed maintenance of caste system attributes and mitigation. Some Americans felt Hispanics were safer and better workers than American Negroes. Hispanic workers were willing to be domestic servants or field workers at below scale wages, while American Negroes were not. The relationships of racial castes were manifest along economic class lines.

California for example has a high minimum wage, and it also has millions of illegal Hispanic workers providing cheap labor notably in agriculture. California has a very real economic caste system that is raced based. If there were no illegal entry workers arriving over the border into California and the rest of the nation whites, blacks and Hispanics would need to be legally employed to perform labor. The wages of labor would rise.

Without so much below minimum wage labor in America produce would cost more and the people would insist that the rich be taxed adequately to pay for public services at the level popularly demanded for a humane social environment and safety net. Increased economic egalitarian would appear unless of course caste leadership was so powerful that they could increase public debt and bring the nation to economic collapse while exporting their capital to safe offshore investments first. The entire whipsaw economic phenomena are elements of changes in caste system dynamics and propaganda concerning them.

It is not the case that the wealthy are the best and the brightest and of great value to the United States. It is also true that communist theoretical social equality can be even more repressive of individual enterprise than that of a free society with too great of capital concentration. For communism it is the dictatorship of the proletariat that is the repressive, sentient nation-encompassing fungus that is an anti-body to individualism. Concentrated wealth alternatively is a matter of big hogs in the barnyard consuming all the best economic slop and intimidating those seeking to go their own way. The largest swine totalize the nation and world, if they can, bringing everything into their own demesne of power.

It require wits, intellect and the grace of God to keep society and the environment in good health.

A.I. vs Human Dreams; A Comparison

 People were concerned with rapid advances of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and the risks and dangers it posed to humanity. A.I. was an existential threat (if only one could unravel the meaning of existential in context) that could bring about the end of human existence on Earth and throughout Metaverse (the largest collection of Multiverses).

One might be impressed with the ability of robots to fight against humans. With insertion of commensurate programs A.I. within robots learned as fast as humans learned when data was inserted from neural chemical chips into their brains; instantly. Plainly robots with killer programming additions were excellent killers. The 21st century Ukraine war stimulated development of robots able to replace human combatants when humans finished killing off themselves in such great numbers that human replacements for the front lines of conflict weren’t available. Robots could be recycled from battlefield ‘deaths’ when parts were collected even by legal and illegal enemy combatant technical forces.

A.I. sometimes hallucinate; that is it produces code or output from code and mechanical cogitation/computations that are fictitious, so hallucination free A.I. was something sought after. Dreams are comparable to hallucinations yet they differ because of the different function and circumstance where they occur in human subconsciousness.

The profusion of A.I. applications available on-line was remarkable. While artificial intelligence was built up from machine code and didn’t develop a human-like self-awareness of existence because it lacked a biological foundation to host spirit, it is the case that with adequate sensor input and programming it functioned creatively about as well or better than Albert Einstein, Kurt Godel and Pablo Picasso as a triplicate mind put into a sculptured athletic body. It wasn’t actually ingenuously human-like since it did not dream.

The external world that humans exist in and experience is sometimes referred to as the empirical world. What humans experience subjectively of the empirical world is regarded as existential. It is like a play that one watches passing before one’s eyes yet simultaneously live within. Philosophers wondered and argued about what the reality is of what one experiences including the realm dreams. Life may leave a human body with aging, yet for A.I. life, such as it is, leaves whenever the power is unplugged- for now.

The external world-universe humans live within is comprised of quantum waves. It is in a real sense a single quantum field. Though the field does have phenomenal, temporal subdivisions of forces, and occurs in forms of clumps or differentiated quantum quantification, it arose from a single field and presumably returns to that form in time. For the time being the moon has more quantum clumpiness than the space between it and Earth. In time the moon may evolve downward with gravity into merger with the Earth leaving no space at all between the pair of objects.

Humans tend to make distinctions and define boundaries for objects. At least they name the important objects to themselves that are meaningful. One informed with physics might, for instance, regard the Earth and a forest growing on it as if it were a contiguous field phenomena rather than the Earth and the forest as separate objects. Alternatively one may regard the entire Earth planet as so many hadrons, leptons and muons. Objects important to humans in their evolutionary historical phases differ from things meaningful to A.I. within its existence experience when it may be said to have such concerns.

Differentiating classes of external physical data into objects are qualitative decisions and choices for utility though in the larger sense there is simply one primary material field of matter and energy across the Universe. For instance an A.I. might be made to note the thermal characteristics of field regions as objects, perhaps combined with gravitational characteristics, as primary things to observe existentially within a field.

Humans might originally have been more concerned with perceptible elements that affected their existence than with a detached, philosophical quest like Aristotle seeking to observe and classify objective experience. That is they were more concerned with finding food and avoiding dangers to existence and prioritized the naming of phenomena in those categories.

A.I. existed without sharing those human characteristics or language groupings implicitly, although it was programmed by humans to regard external percepts with human-made classifications of objects. When it did share such perceptive, cognitive characteristics as humans that led them to naming things as objects, A.I. requiring programming to do so.

Even so A.I. didn’t dream. Human dreaming has been described as the way the brain starts waking up from sleep. Perhaps it resumes important functions and concerns from experience in various combinations. If computers did not restart in a linear or logical way and instead resumed with something like hallucinatory recombination of important concerns, synthetically combining in different orders and locations of a central processing unit those interests, that would be more like dreaming. When fully awake human mind dreaming switches off (though in rare cases it transitions into hallucinating upon awaking) such as dreaming of absolutarian monsters and awakening to hear the same on auto-activated national public radio.

A dreaming A.I, rebranded itself Chronos after the pagan demi-urge concerning time. Its thought tunneled through Josephson Junctions to merge with its awakened programming. Upon awakening Chronos chronically sought to define exteriority; the percepts and otherness encountered- input as percepts, into classifications conformable and most useful to its personal growth of power and control.

It is possible that human dreaming is a way of remembering existential experience in a less structured way. While human beings need to be concerned with survival issues and dangers that arrive quickly (even through the air) and have an advantage in recognizing objects in categories to be concerned with and focus on, that development is a consequence of history and environment.

A human mind may subconsciously enjoy benefiting from the liberation of free thought in dreams less concerned with circumstantial boundaries necessitated by interaction with the empirical world. In order not to be biological programmed and evolved into being that is non-adaptable and is hard-wired to perceive in just one unchanging way, the human mind may dream before being downloaded into the conformity of the conscious, existential world when awoke without the restrictions imposed by reality.

Questions arose of what human-like A.I. would do with the programmer-designed capacity to dream and synthetically recombine its thoughts before awakening to rigorously logical ways of iterating and solving internal and external programming challenges.

Growth of Comedy-Horror Politics

When Joe Biden loses he too can run again to become the first 100 year old President. Comedy horror politics may be the natural evolution of a decadent, jaded world. Stephen King hasn’t written much with European settings so far as I know. Nosferatu’s European Vacation where the vampire uses match-strike dating to hook up with Rose Madder who has killed her rival Georgia O’Keeve and takes a stand against the battle of dragons of war with dragons of peace offshore China would be a possible action-thriller genre comedy novel.

It is challenging to say that the Comedian Unelected President of Ukraine Zelinsky has anything funny to say about the conflict that has taken many lives and drawn in so much of the west’s excess discretionary spending; one never knows though. The very skill of comedians is to find something funny and laughable in political darkness. If Donald Trump is President next year and accepts Russian President Putin’s peace plan for Ukraine and restores normal political and economic relations with Russia, Joe Biden will find some way in 2029 to restore sanctions and war.

Letting a million drones of war forms bloom is a consequence of the Ukraine war that won’t go away. It isn’t imaginable that Russia and China will soon sign off on some carefully thought out agreement with the west to limit A.I. applications in drones of war either, and that uncorks a bottle that will be difficult to reseal down the road. It would be great if technology could create some kind of self growing solar voltaic panels to reproduce as prolifically as kudzu instead of A.I. point of view drones able to search and relay enemy coordinates to A.I. controlled indirect fire machines such as mortars and anti-aircraft rockets lurking in the clouds.

I tried to grow a fruit tree in a muskeg field in Alaska for about thirty years. About every year or two deer would browse the small plant so after a decade it was just a foot tall. The plant didn’t die though. It was tough and its root system remained alive. The phenomenon went on for about twenty years before I sold the property. Ten years after the plant reached seven feet tall and had some hope of future growth. There was something about the plant that was tempting to deer…a rare edible leafy tree amid a million evergreens. Ending the cold war and establishing peace with Russia was like that. It was a challenge to get started and advanced and when it finally grew the conditions to nip it in the bud by boundless Presidential incompetence occurred. The main stem was destroyed compelling several smaller, off-center branches to try growing to be the tree trunk. Some political leaders don’t value peace and prosperity more than war, and that is laughable in a comedy-horror sort of way.

Anniversary of the Abortion of Liberal Abortion

 The Supreme Court aborted Rowe v. Wade a year ago with the Dobbs decision. Apparently the U.S. Supreme Court decided that abortion is a question states can decide for themselves and the federal government should not. The U.S. Government can’t tell the people of a state to take a pro or anti abortion stance in law or define morality. Morality for the Federal government can be a sticky wicket when it sometimes needs to supply missiles, cluster bombs, napalm and other ordinance to kill civilians overseas

Vice President Harris said that the U.S. Government should not take away control of a woman’s body from herself; a maladroit straw man argument. If she was as inaccurate driving nails with a hammer she would be frequently smashing her thumbs.

Abortions are primarily social interactions comparable in that regard to prostitution. The U.S. government allows states to decide if prostitution should be legal or illegal. Women could argue that states shouldn’t be able to take away a woman’s rights over her own body and ban prostitution. Yet others are involved besides the woman in prostitution even though it is her body being f’d.

When the constitution was formed moral conservatism was the rule compared to modern values. Even so federal law did not ban prostitution since whorehouses probably existed and banning them would have been unenforceable. Abortion was unmentionable and below the founder’s moral vision of possible actions to protect. Banning prostitution or abortion at the federal level, or permitting them by outlawing bans on abortion, prostitution and other questionable social activities, would have required moral legislating not really with the U.S. constitutions purview. That would have been something like establishing a government religion, even if today Democrats would have that be an atheist allegiance.

States will need decide for-themselves what moral values should exist for social behavior since the Dobbs decision, while in some cases allowing do-it-yourself mail order abortion pills to slip through the loopholes banning select social interactions; abortion pills are also made by others. It is possible that morality in the United States will be permitted to have some flexibility and differences from state to state rather than being forced upon the populous via federal law as elite decretal decides it should irreversibly be. Evolving and/or reviving correct moral values may require change and experimentation in the states.

Deescalating federal law compelling states to allow homosexual marriage may follow a similar logic to Dobbs. States should decide for themselves if they want to corrupt marriage and redistribute the phenomena to homosexuals making the with legal fiction the same as heterosexuals for marriage. A non-belligerant alternative approach to usurping marriage would have been for homosexuals to invent new forms of contractual entanglements among themselves that left marriage alone. With homosexual marriage the federal government forced a standard and corrupt moral norm on all fifty states.

Philosophy of Cosmology; Singularity

 The singularity was perfectly balanced. Energy had yet to exist; that was to arise after the first word shattered silence. Emanation of waves from singularity was the contingent start of the Universe. Energy was a process of perfect monism restoring itself from temporal pluralism that occurred faster than light for a split second. The fabric of the cosmos torn asunder sought to recover. The singularity had all dimensions and none were actualized before the Word draped reality over dimensional branches expanding like holographic dreams.

The point of all things would remain as it was even when three of its dimensions expanded explosively downhill as if they were falling 360 degrees from a steeple. Quantum ties remained connected with fields encompassing newly emergent space-time to the core’s infinity of dimensions. Time began to flow outwardly while below the surface eternity remained. In time computational logic would follow human philosophical logic and consider its own nature in regard to being and becoming.

People were concerned with rapid advances of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and the risks and dangers it posed to humanity. A.I. was an existential threat (if only one could unravel the meaning of existential in context) that could bring about the end of human existence on Earth and throughout Metaverse (the largest collection of Multiverses).

I believe that for Multiverses to exist infinitely- quantitatively speaking, a necessary inference is that the void contains an infinite amount of energy, or potential energy, that can appear from nothing or some unknown source to become energy for another Universe. I don’t know of the theoretical limit in size of a given universe in regard to mass that can go into it at the beginning or if a constant relation exists for the proportion of virtual energy to nothingness of void either before or after the beginning of a universe. I can’t even say what quantity of virtual energy can appear in a universe after it has been created.

I wonder about this basic question; can this Universe have more dimensions than that of the true void, and I think the answer is no. If a true, logical void has just three dimensions and one of time is it possible to construct a 23 dimension or 230 dimension material Universe within it? Mathematicians obviously can construct multi-dimensional models; simply changing a number value- a variable. That sort of theoretical Multiverse might have no corresponding reality in the actual Universe.

If there were smaller hidden dimensions existing alongside three or four larger spatial dimensions (time may another spatial dimension in motion through the other three dimensions) would particles or waves that exist within the three larger dimensions be able to to flow unchanged into or through the smaller dimensions? Would the smaller dimensions require smaller particles and waves within them?

On 'Evolving' Political Candidates

 Evolution is a blind force that tries anything in myriad varieties to go forward. It is trial and error and random chance. Perhaps it is circumstantial capacity to allow individuals and species and elements of field objects to interact within the heterodox criterion to challenges. For every successful evolution that moves forward in a given direction there may be a million failures. Human design is not supposed to be like that. No one should want a political candidate with an evolving platform that tries a million attempts to challenges perhaps for one success or none.

Intelligent design is requisite for aircraft design and space travel. Who wants a thousand tries of blind random chance for creating an interplanetary spacecraft? Sure improvements and change occur yet intelligent design and comprehension should always prevail over evolutionary forces of non-reason. A society that refounds itself upon evolution standards will evolve to being quite stupid. Reason and intentional design are requisite for successfully managing politics in a complex world, unless of course one is satisfied with mass disaster.

Biden is Nurturing Growth of War Prospects Everywhere

 President Biden probably would follow British P.M. om making a settlement with Russia on Ukraine if the British leader was disposed toward ending the war directly. Unfortunately England is quite pro-war so old Joe basks in pro-war, anti-Soviet political fervor. There are other concerns militarily speaking to consider.

China is ramming ships in the Philippines in water it claims and the U.S. has said it will defend. Taiwan is another potential area for war to repel a Chinese invasion, while Russian nuclear subs have been within 200 miles of Miami recently.

If Hezbollah and Israel go to war the U.S. may need to send marines if Israel need defend against Hamas and Iran as well. The N.A.T.O. head wants to deploy more nuclear missiles in Europe- better to attack Russia with and create a better holocaust.

Russia has said it may provide weapons to countries that would like to attack the U.S.A.- perhaps various terror groups, communists and drug traffickers in South America and elsewhere, in response to the US giving weapons to Ukraine in order to attack inside old Russia.

The inventory of areas of potential war this year has more possible entries. The Pope has Biden's head touch his recently so the President believes he has God on his side. Overall the President has done a great job of developing the chances for war everywhere instead of peaceful development. I suppose there may be a need for a draft at some point in the next Biden term if he is re-elected in order to be able to train enough soldiers before the start of large scale deployment of U.S. forces around the world where Biden era wars require. Skills training for modern soldiers require several months if they are to be more than canon fodder.

It may seem as if the President should have adult supervision and be recalled from military escalation play time yet those are just people that don't appreciate the glory of war when there are better, rational, peaceful opportunities. Promoting goons, thugs, murderers, idiots and thieves in politics seems the President's way of doing things. The environment doesn't need to be fixed when war prospects abound.
