Arthur Schopenhauer and Political Sins Like War

Arthur Schopenhauer was a notorious misogynist who threw his land lady down a staircase. He did develop a rather unique worldview combining elements of Eastern philosophy with Western. Not that it was worth a damn- interesting though. His brief book ‘The Fourfold Roots of Reason’ is technically solid and a kind of reiteration of Kant’s ‘Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics’.

If he had put more time into good technical philosophy instead of his syncretistic ontology he could have made a positive contribution. Schooenhauer believed women were inferior and incarnated as such as punishment for sins in a prior life He might have used US Presidential elections as an example if he were alive today. Biden-Harris gave Ukraine another 425 million dollars of war equipment including 211 Striker combat vehicles for some attacks before the vote. Taxpayers are being punished for Democrat Party sins.

If truth means to verify a proposition there are other ways than math for that. If truth means the source of all that is including universes the only God can be true

The Lakers Future Line-up and Threes?

The Lakers tend to enhance their defense to cling to leads and take out good shooters such as they have in the back court. Meanwhile the opposition sinks 3s and goes on to win. When they trail they also believe they can win with defense as if they were the Baltimore Ravens in their championship year.

Playing in the 4th quarter shoot 2s while the other team shoots 3s is like being 2 dimensional in a 3 dimensional game.

The future Koloko, Davis, Russell, Reeves, Knecht starting line up is amazing to consider. That might be a very good team. Jackson Hayes can back up Davis and Kololo to good effect.

The Lakers need three good centers, four good guards and three good forwards... Fundamentals for a variety of offensive schemes.

The Lakers can run a double post three guard offense with Davis as a forward-center because James or Knecht can play guard-forward as good shooting 6 foot eight or nine players. Maybe that's why the ten rebounds and assists per game average for one of the best shooters in the game was a wing position.

Gravity's Space-Time Edge (poem)

 

Cast off from what was known
vortex questions of galactic charm
circles in space-time echoes own
lines of being to the center of storms

Looking down from a singularity too far away
matters that ever last surpass to rise
like flowers of forever that live a few days
and yet must die in December’s darkened sky

The Earth in the beginning
from the mind it was conceived
a place, an island dreaming
weary travelers didst time to leave.

Would a Harris Win Enable a Chaotic Crash of the Dollar?

  A Trump win might generate fairly predictable consequences ( good economy, compiling public debt, peace with Russia etc). A Harris win alternatively could start a series of chaotic challenges to American leadership competence with consequences for the poor as well as average Americans.

The Harris commitment to pursue conflict with Russia over Ukraine and her lack of historical understanding of the nation's position in the currents of world political evolution might engender the crash of the dollar while global warming accelerates. Secure borders and a commitment to excellence and supporting the development of every American citizen to be the best they can be is necessary if the country is to have much control of it's own political destiny in one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

Kamala Harris major selling point is that she is female. She has of course signed off on the Democrat's party platform, yet I am not aware of a single new idea she has. Low expectations need to be adjusted downward.

Wittgenstein, Cohen, Quine, Kripke, Language, Wars etc.

 Wittgenstein's Blue and Brown books presented a simple anthropology of language development. It was a somewhat more pragmatic approach than Heidegger's investigation of language and concept meanings with depth in etymology. His thought about language was a part of the development of linguistic or analytic philosophy yet very early. Realism and nominalism questions about words were better understood toward the later half of the 20th century Applying logic to language and meaning as elements of epistemology developed later with people like Cohen, Strawson, Quine and Kripke. 

A thought about wars of the distant future... Weapons like scalpels will be applied to scale of conflict. To destroy a planet or galaxy different tools would be used than to excise opposition forces amid some friendly forces. If people remain stupid enough to have wars they will probably annihilate themselves anyway.

Apparently scientists already bred an ape with a human and aborted the foetus, otherwise there would have been a better alternative to Joe Biden. Seriously though, 16 million years ago a major eruption occurred- with vast left-wing lava extrusion (The Columbia River Basalt Province) from the Yellowstone hotspot and before that the Deccan Traps extrusion 66 million y.b.p. Humans have been around from about 100,000-200,000 years ago and no they wouldn't naturally evolve to a super-being in just 100,000 more years. Many people including James Lovelock and the late Jacques Cousteau have said that humanity will probably destroy the livability of the Earth within 200 years. It does seem likely.

Unicorns in the Old Testament. Apparently Re'em was a unicorn as well as the rhino mentioned earlier ( "the scientific name for the Indian Rhino is 'Rhinoceros Unicornis") It had to do with horns. Stipes was the upright stick Jesus was crucified on and the unicorn was a symbol of Christ. I will quote a relevant piece on unicorns from a google search... "The Hebrew word re'em is mentioned nine times in the Bible and is often translated as "unicorn" in English translations. However, some modern translations use the term "wild ox" (aurochs) to describe the re'em, which is the correct meaning". I tend toward being a KJV only reader myself so far as Bibles go, because I like the language, although the Good News version is sometimes interesting too.

Overlapping Tomorrows (a poem)

 

Soft breezes everywhere frostbite laps
oceans of dreams returning to slosh
silently no more than wind and waves
froth reaching jagged edged hours
washing time away

In the dark night sky
she is like thought unsurpassed
water and will
echoes and ideas

Tomorrow's plains of grass
are shelves of land pushed to crenelations
-mountains arisen to heights
where cold ascends toward truth

Nothingess became a symphony
Gorecki’s sorrowful songs
when lives turn to dust
remembered by those still
living in this place

A view of the past from promontory point
starlights for someone new
looking in the distance could be
conversion to the spiritual
one might wish for.

The Nature of it All (poem)

 

The sky is large
and the world's billion echoes
are contrail cloud cover
silently disappearing in daybreak
because orange light fullness
faded into blue

Molecules and minerals
drawn together in gravity
comprise a solid base where life abounds
where God set the players
consciously realizing
the nature of it all.

The Red or the Blue Pill; Nov 5 2024

 On election day voters will choose the red or the blue pill. One provides illusion with foreign wars and deaths lingering externalities to comfortable inside the  looking glass soma of woke social reality while the other is a key to unlock the Matrix.

The red or the blue pill, the choice is yours.

Reflections on Olber's Paradox

 

Olber’s Paradox is interesting to consider. The Universe probably isn’t static nor “filled” with stars since they are so far away. Visible light requires sentient eyes to view it and regard it as visible anyway. Before eyes existed the Universe might have been in effect without light. One knows at any rate that light is an excitation or phenomena in an electromagnetic field and photons travelling in space are affected by the spatial curvature of the Universe because of gravity, or perhaps spatial curvature itself is a reciprocal of gravity as it were and that varied over the course of the expansion of the universe. Photons are nearly mass-less particles and their timeless journey can end or transition as they encounter different fields and mass or energy in the Universe.

“Olbers’ paradox is a cosmological paradox that asks why the night sky is dark if the universe is infinite and contains an infinite number of stars“

I suppose that it is possible that photons could encounter a kind of anti-virtual particle phenomena wherein photons disappear from the Universe into whatever field virtual particles emerge fro as the Universe flexes it’s quantum soup of some kind of tomato bisque. I don’t know why for that matter that a virtual energy field should be evenly distributed through the Universe and not for-itself associated in some way with a ratio to real fields and mass of the Universe. Perhaps they model the distribution of gravitational fields of the Universe, although nothing can travel faster than light that is subluminal. Of course mass-less 2 dimensional particles travel at light speed. Quantum entanglement could occur between photons and virtual energy. I have thought the concepts of timeless, mass-less particles and a Universe of time and space something of a paradox itself.

Harris Against Freedom of Choice for States in Preference of Federal Dictatorship

VP Harris primary support is from women that want the federal government to force abortion on all of the states  Women for Harris don’t want states to have the freedom to choose what they want for-themselves.

In some instances like slavery federal rules, so long as they are morally sound positions, should prevail. On most other moral issues states and the citizens thereof ought to decide for themselves how they want to live and regulate themselves.

Select environmental concerns are compelling and require federal oversight when people lack knowledge of emergent issues of a complex nature. The nation however can survive and thrive if Californians and Bostonians have abortions and those from Idaho and Texas don’t. Federal law for abortion is not critical; a dictatorship of federal Democrats is not even desirable.
