Another Open-Source Programmable Beginning for Killer Robots

With open source software one can program the perfectly unconscionable robot to pull the trigger. Without non-open source software and strictly defined sentience any robot capable of pulling a trigger could be ordered to do so-one nice feature of commercial robots able to be a lethal home sentry or mafia hit-bot waiting quietly for assignment objective task-fulfillment.

An M.I.T. researcher developed a small, ‘pet’ robot home/community organizer that is obviously a prototype for robots that have fingers-programmable trigger finger and face recognition software. Even JIBO the new ‘family’ robot might be innovated to control trigger pulling servo-units one would think.

Added externalities for the latest in happy-trigger robots include the dual role of degrading the value of human labor kicking more of those potential union organizers into the gutta. With cheap open source programmable robots designed in Massachusetts that can be made in China and exported to American consumers so they can buy and stimulate the economic progressive of the 1% sharing ownership of Chinese communist factories, wealth can be better concentrated allowing more development of Chinese production, more robots for American consumers to buy product and make a better U.S. economy. It is commonly said that the U.S. economy is driven by consumerism. Still, and this may have to wait for an answer until a sentient economics robot is manufactured at M.I.T., I don’t see how American workers with no money to spend because jobs were outsourced to China and robots imported to replace Wal-Mart workers and McDonalds agitators can stimulate the economy with consumerism.

Treating Shoulder Injury the Old Fashioned Way

I will speak about shoulder pain only from personal experience. I have injured left and right shoulder in the past, most recently having a bicycle fall riding downhill on ice trying to avoid an attacking, barking dog that sent me sprawling with the arm stretch ahead to break the fall and avoid a broken neck. After 6 months that shoulder is still occasionally sore. At least it wasn't really dislocated when I fell on my left side. I just ignored the pain and prayed that it would get better. I had a kind of intuitive response that told me it wasn't dislocated and wouldn't require unafforable medical treatment.

When that shoulder joint pooped a couple of days ago it might have reset a little. One can't be sure about those injuries without being a physician. As the ancient adage goes a worker gets better or worse, and if he gets to worse he does, c'est la vie.

The other shoulder has a much longer history of injury for comparison. Long ago I carried halved pieces of 3/4” plywood atop a should a long way up a trial through muskeg in the forest. Making numerous trips I discovered that carrying wood atop a shoulder with an arm wrapped around to hold it in place wasn't a good idea. I sort of pushed the arm a little way down away from the shoulder. Because it hurt I went to a chiropractor a couple of times and it got better for a while.

I was also giving instruction to reset the shoulder myself when it kept detaching itself down from its proper place in the socket. I would lean the elbow on some solid object and push the arm back up. That worked somewhat, and thus for many years I went on that way. I hope this helps-one ignores the pain and maybe uses an aspirin or two rarely-be careful about that.

About 15 years later riding a bike down the Atlantic Coast to Florida I started having new problems with that shoulder. I was riding a racing type bike instead of a mountain bike and the geometry of the arms and shoulders is different. That narrower angle can cause an already injured shoulder to get worse. I imagine it is like tearing some of many ligament-strings away. By the time I got to South Florida the shoulder had become an embarrassment.

Using the public library in one city the shoulder joint started making loud popping noises every few minutes. I tried to act like nothing was happening, yet people looked at me curiously.

So in a few days I woke up from a tent sleeping on the ground and walked away about ten feet when perhaps the most painful episode I had ever had occurred-the pain in the shoulder was about twice that of a dislocated disc-really sharp. I went back to the tent and just couldn't go anywhere that weekend. Not being able to afford a trip to the physician I went over the weekend with the arm stretched straight out and used about 30 or 40 aspirin a day-also not a good idea. The pain was surreal anyway.

Monday I went jogging down highway A1A over the bridge in the heat and humidity to make an appointment some friends had set up for a visit to a chiropractor. That chiropractor reduced the pain about 30 to 40%. yet of course the pain didn't go away. It was persistent like a hurricane that only slowly recedes. Eventually I caught a bus to Texas and slept out with the cactus and fire ants. I have one vicodin tablet and a lots of ibuprofen, and eventually the pain reduced.

Later next year I caught a bus to Montana for painting and slept on an air mattress reducing the pain in the shoulder-that helped a lot.

So in my opinion reducing shoulder pain with natural remedies may not work for all kinds of injury. I might have torn a rotator cuff although it seemed like a dislocated shoulder (it probably wasn't). Statistics for torn rotator cuffs are that after two years the pain levels are about the same as if one didn't have immediate surgery. I believe the surgery probably would have been a better choice. The shoulder still pops out a few times a month, thought the numbness in the fingertips went away long ago.

Good luck with your injured shoulder.

Clintons Form Another Tempo of Doom Presidential Race

Since Bill Clinton was elected in 1992 the U.S. Presidential scene has been considerably dumbed down. The Clinton's never go away nor does their influence. Recollect the high quality of the 1992 Presidential field on both sides. That 1992 primary was rich with George Bush I, Ross Perot,pat Buchanan, Bob Kerry, John Kerry and alas Bill Clinton-favorite of the media. Now the field is rather sterile and national economic outlook poor.

Because Bill Clinton was elected and Wall Street integrity gutted followed by the Lewinsky scandal rerunning a vicarious substitute for Ronald Reagan-believed at the time to be G.W. Bush II, was enabled. Though a morally good guy G.W. Bush II wasn't the brightest bulb. He completely bungled Iraq reconstruction and piled up a vast public debt that President Obama would later more than double. With so much public debt and an ongoing foreign nation building fiasco President Obama was easily elected against the only Republican of stature with electability that seemed interested in running, Sen. John McCain.

President Obama was the anti-Hillary choice of Democrat youth. He was the hope of racial progress. So while some of East St. Louis are rioting and looting over a fatal police shooting of a large black 18 year old, the President instead of visiting to give a civics lesson to the blacks of East St. Louis is out on vacation at Martha's Vineyard maybe saying yawnces with the late spirit of patron saint Ted Kennedy.

One wonders if Hillary Clinton could have given civics speeches to rioting blacks of East St. Louis and moves on to consider that with Hillary Clinton in the 2016 primaries there isn't likely to be a single alternative female candidate running. Democrat Party policy seems to be that the only female with a chance to get elected would need to stand on her husband's shoulders because they are so short on capability. The Clintons are like Jupiter and Saturn gas giant planets with vast gravitational power sweeping and clearing out the qualified candidates from both parties. I think Democrat women, queers and any other natural democrats like Bill Clinton and Hillary is his primary coat tail.

There are probably dozens of politically qualified women that could serve in the Oval Office without being on their knees. Yet none will run of Hillary is in the race. It is as if they believed British P.M. Margaret Thacher was really elected for her fish and chips recipe and highest-quality fudge brownies she enticed Ronald Reagan with.

President Obama's years of post-Bush II bungling on Middle-Eastern policy was lately rectified a little with relief provided to a religious minority surrounded in a mountain by Al Qaeda of Iraq affiliated Caliphate mufisdoon threatening them with death. He has also reasonably provided weapons to Kurds willing to defend themselves and their little homeland. Hillary Clinton however has taken an anti-Obama foreign policy tact in an untimely way to advance the gloomy prospect of yet another Presidential election influenced by the Clintons.

President Obama as a lame duck might be motivated to show the people of East St. Louis that they too as a minority are in the police department, internal affairs review board, bureaucracies and elected offices of the city. He can show that civil disobedience rather than civil participation is not a good choice. Demagogues and crowd agitators that expect democracy to be intimidated by mob demands ought not be given support. These are things that a President interested in civil progress rather than political points might be interested in. Looking ahead to the 2016 election though, the politicians seem to want to just take reasonable public positions on issues that might make them better insiders.

Predestination, Salvation of the Elect and Free Will

This essay is intended to consider that there may be Godly reasons why or what people can be for eternity in relation to the Lord and why there may be different courses necessary for people with and without the Lord as their Savior. I will consider that God may confer predestination through retro-causality upon some of the lost-to-sin human constituency and additional difficult-to-understand problems of the criterion of being while living within a temporal order. Predestination and determinism are not incompatible with human freedom of choice.

I suppose that the human condition of being having started in original sin means that all people still have some hardness of heart and moral failure. Without the direct grace of God none would be saved. The question is why God rescues anyone from the state of original sin? I guess that if God wants anyone to exist besides Himself and God is implicitly perfect the imperfect creatures will need to be saved through their relationship to the Son Jesus Christ. Jesus covers the sin with His perfection.

Maybe God likes having less than perfect sentient beings existing as some sort of pluralistic array within His monism yet can’t tolerate imperfection unless it is compartmentalized; limited like explosion in an internal combustion engine to a somewhat useful application.. Creatures exist as some sort of function of the Omnipotent God who actualizes all things in theory and fact even if some are within in a contingent and potential state of realized hypothesis. There may be value in having some human beings exist. More may be better.

For those that have some qualification for God’s use there seems to be a good working-retirement plan for eternity with better prospects than social security.

In some respects the problem of why some people are saved and others chose to chase after pleasure mirages instead of moral perfection is comparable to why some just things can be eternal and not everything. Why don’t temporal things like stars or polar ice caps exist forever-why does anything decay or change? As the joke goes, death and temporality make way for more and new things. Seriously though, temporal being is a form of making things exist with more degrees of freedom than if they existed forever. Imagine if God made real and permanent everything he ever thought of in some concrete form-it would be the worst hoarding collection of stuff ever invented. There would be Universe after Universe to an infinite extent full of junk piled in. A lot of eternity would be spent arranging the stuff in nice neat rows or thrown in like junk with no hope of a garage sale to clear out a few thousand Universes of the stuff occasionally. Temporality may be some nice neat way of ordering concepts that are real yet don’t stay around past their expiration date. Expiration dates allow more products to exist than if every product created had to exist eternally. Imagine a container of milk that existed forever, or maybe a loaf of bread without refrigeration? How would one have bacteria exist without meat that rots and vice versa?

Jesus said that in heaven people neither marry nor are given in marriage (not only because of their relationship to God I would think or because of that especially). It is also a part of their eternal nature transformed into a body without temporal characteristics-and I find that hard to imagine. A temporal body’s form is that adapted specifically to a given physical niche. Trees grow tall for instance, yet are limited in height for one reason because the water transport ‘veins’ going up break down under the force of gravity at a certain height. People have grown with similar constraints or definitions that in eternity would not be required or useful maybe. A human spirit might be adapted to a different spiritual presentation.

Computer Chess and Football Analysis

If innumerable comparisons have been made between chess and politics, chess and war, chess and strategies for mano y mano (or womano) gaming the development of computer analysis of football plays reduced to x and o graphics as simple as those of chess might have developed too. Chess pieces haven't any variation in performance capability from other similar pieces though while football players' abilities vary considerably. Even so the sort of statistical analysis that computer chess engine make of chess games perhaps has been used for pro football teams as well.

The world's highest rated chess player Magnus Carlsen has a F.I.D.E. chess rating of about 2877. One ordinary chess engine that players can play against has a chess rating of 3350 probably. Carlsen and other highly rated players like Aronian, Caruna, Grischuck, Nakamura, Anand, Ivanchuck, Kramnik and Topolov probably play against their own chess engines now and then. I would guess they can program a chess engine to play like a particular top rated opponent in order to hone their own tactics playing against them. Even beginning players have a number of chess computer chess games and , such as Py-chess available free on-line to play against There are pro-analytical engines such as Houdini and Stockfish, some with open source software. Are some football coaches using football computer programs to statistically analyze or even to call game plays? Will jobs for programmers and chess wizards be created in pro football soon. Can the Denver Broncos use a GM chess player-coach?

Scrimmages of X's and O's given abstract analysis might determine what plays work effectively against others, what offenses and defenses are best suited for particular situations and series, and even take into account weight and skill characteristics of individual players in order to find more statistics for strengths and weaknesses in play selection. Computer play engines might have data about opposition force team cadre and determine where the best places to attack are-such as a 40 dive if one has Adrian Peterson in the backfield and the average weight of the defensive front four of the opposition is only 230 pounds.

Troubles of Being the Chosen People an the Intersection of History

I think Christians need to use very careful, nuanced language regarding Jews because it has been used so badly traditionally-by anti-Semites that have perpetrated pogroms, purges, and holocausts. One considers the expulsion of the Jews from Iberia, the persecutions in Russia sent by the Tsar for a distraction from domestic troubles, and the expulsion of the Jews beyond the Pale of Poland and that something fewer than 30% of German Christian ministers dissented adequately from the Reich's State Church hostile takeover. 

So are Jews God's chosen people-the leavening sent into the world to bring the word of God and ideas of God to the focus of the world's attention? It would be hard to say that they aren't in light of their history and Bible prophecy. God hasn't divorced his chosen people. They are still in his plan and always were. Realized eschatology brought Christians too into the tribe of Israel with the new covenant-we are a branch grafted onto the tree as the parable goes. Jesus brought the new covenant and the Mosaic Law was fulfilled and surpassed, yet the Jews are more than just the lost world, Jesus writing the laws of God on the hearts and minds allowed Israel to move beyond the boundaries of national Israel and the Mosaic law paradigm when it was ripe historically. 

It is probably not a good idea for Christians to overly evaluate the Jews as no more the chosen people and claim that we Christians will sit on the right hand of the Lord. We are saved by the grace of the Lord yet the Jews have their own worldly destiny that they can't seem circumstantially to avoid-being in the center of things at the crossroads of the world and drawing the wrath of the forces loyal to a false prophet from Mecca too influenced by Essene determinism I think. Jews are only 13 million or so on Earth and if they have an attitude it is because they need it for self-defense. Americans have a large, powerful military and the Christian community benefited from being far away from Barbary pirates, Muslim fanatics and kow-towers to emperors for a long time. 

We can't expect Israels to be sweet, gentle and exterminated by head choppers right away. One must ask if Christians would be happier living in Israel or the Caliphate, and be aware that there are many kinds of persecution both religious and non-religious, and that Americans are said not to have a theology of suffering living in a dream as it were. I hope that continues-yet with decadence it tends to be lost.

Limbaugh's Radical Subjectivism Split the Republican Parrty

Traditionally neo-conservative talk radio guys put on the hat of naïve realism. Yek they can alternatively wear a cynic hat with less audience share. Generally though, naïve realism is the paradigm. Trying to understand Rush Limbaugh, worthwhile since he has 20 or 30 million occasional followers, and consider why he can be so completely daft on some points and accurate on others provides insight into the power of broadcast media to mess up American democracy.

Mr. Limbaugh’s erratic analytical method tends to divide up the Republican Party into separate wings comprising the aloof upper-class globalist blue-bloods and the scientifically dumb conservative followers of Rush transforming the Republicans into the intellectual constiuency of traditional Democrat donkeys leaving the important stuff to the brains of the outfit in talk radio. In times past Republicans were regarded as the more intellectually astute party leading the way with sharp business ideas with some fat cat industrialists that surged ahead. In those times there wasn’t such a vast gap between the very rich and the very poor. Rush Limbaugh tends to take the New Republican Dumb constituency on that long, black train leading to nowhere as a generality waiting for Godot.

Surprisingly Rush made a conservative ingression into radical subjectivism standing with John Lennon in the Strawberry Fields nothing is real psychology of the Beatles classic. That is the intellectually limp leader has a right-wing version of popular subjectivism started perhaps by John Dewey with a topping of moral and epistemological relativism that droops down ecospheric reform and responsibility.

Radical epistemological subjectivism entered academia, politics, business and religion and even in to talk radio. Radical subjectivism allows the buck to be passed infinitely in theory.

Jesus Christ in saying that the king of God is within you was not establishing a purely subjective epistemology. Obviously Jesus was in the Kingdom of God for-himself yet existed in the world for-others. There are many ways to interpret the meaning of what Jesus said about the kingdom of God and of what the kingdom of God is, and where it is, yet it wasn’t a purely subjective epistemology. The kingdom of God may be experienced subjectively yet it is also founded or grounded in God. God is the objective-other as Sartre might have said, yet that pure objectivity is transcended through receiving Jesus Christ as one’s personal Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ is the sole way to God. Some find a sense of realized eschatology in the concept of the kingdom of God being within Christians as an initial entry of the developing kingdom of God that will fully emerge objectively at the end of temporal history. Well, to return to Rush Limbaugh and the left’s radical subjectivism…

The left notably took a turn in the 20^th century toward subjectivism and subjective psychology. A book named The Age of Fracture described some of the American political developments of that intellectual-theoretical trend. One didn’t expect Rush Limbaugh and naïve conservative realists to take a turn toward radical epistemological subjectivism too. Yet sharing that realm of radical subjectivism with the left was possible for those that wandered through the moral relativism and ethical subjectivism required for the moral immunity to Wall Street corruption leading to the 2008 crash. Where one has a kind of epistemological-intellectual libertarianism one can apply Derrida’s objective treatment of literature to the real world regarding it as subjective and amusing.

Whereas Karl Marx applied G.W.F. Hegel’s metaphysical induction to analysis of political evolution without the theoretical-teleogical paradigm, Rush Limbaugh seems to use a Sartrian phenomenalism with a topping of Marxist dialect to produce a weltanshauuung where everything is regarded as political with politics perhaps meaning a social process of adjudicative transaction.

In Limbaugh’s weltanshauung science is subject

tive and hence scientists produce political theories. Instead of studying the world and Universe objectively they study it subjectively within a social-political context and generate political points of affirmation or denial of an evolving socialist vs. capitalist dialectic. Limbaugh views vegetarianism and global warming theorists as political dupes or willing apparatchiks of the dark side of the dialectical force in the perennial battle of good vs. evil. Limbaugh is something of a Manichean or Zoroastrian existentialist soaked in the sauce of cold war era dialectical materialism morphed to a form where it is a dialectical evolution to nowhere besides entropy and the heat death of the Universe I suppose, after yielding maximal prophets-and its al a dream.

Limbaugh’s weltanshaung shared with subjectivists of the radical left that fled there perhaps when Marxist-Stalinism lost its glint and Sartre provided the existentialist Critique of Dialectical Reason as a refuge for the philosophically challenged is reliant on the ultimate subjective nature of mass and energy and of its phenomenal nature. Science though is dedicated to the study of mass, energy and forms as well as a human being can do. Scientific results tend to approach the validity at least of that language has in publicly verifiable use. Science has produced some of the greater advances in the human condition. Applied science has relieved objective human suffering from disease. Good science can be applied with bad politics to do harm. Adolph Eichman used scientific fruit of technology and I.B.M. card readers to process Jews for extermination in the holocaust. Too many car making fossil fuels emissions generate greenhouse gasses contributing significantly to global warming causality. Science and technology produced automotive technology, bad politics want to continue to misapply it, deny any bad effects and deny any scientific capacity for objectivity. Science it is said by the politically maladroit produces just politics.

That point calls for some humor of course. I haven’t the time for that here. One can imagine Thomas Edison or Alexander Graham Bell, Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton producing political material instead of science and technology. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon were political merry pranksters and the Hiroshima bomb was just a political invention of no substance used to put Marxists in power and increase the size of government to super-enhanced. As Socrates said, the unexamined life is not worth living.

Human thinking and sentience is what distinguishes human beings from animals and even inanimate mass and energy. Human beings are organism too and simply being a happy organism isn’t really human. Human beings are sentient beings that need to think critically, rationally and objectively as possible. Man does not live by bread alone. So can science measure the atmospheric and sea surface temperature of the planet or what the atmosphere is made of-of course. Can science compare the present state of the thermal condition of the world to ages past-yes.

Human affairs of a social nature often are political.  Political-social responses to objective environmental challenges may have partisans of several sides on innumerable issues with various combinations of issues packaged occasionally so large as to comprise political party platforms. It would be just stupid though to claim that the potential for making anything a political issue negates the reality and potential for objective existence of the issue. In a sense the radical subjective epistemological theory of the left and of Rush Limbaugh too apparently denies the possibility of a democracy having any real issues to fix or respond to. Instead issues such as global warming when applied with the Limbaugh weltanshaung filter can be regarded as political illusion to support the dark side of the dialectical force and the demi-urge of doom egging on anti-Canutian political force.

Rush Limbaugh is not entirely wrong about particular political issues yet his theoretical competence is deficient to the point where he seems to be Talking Under the Influence –T.U.I. with an irrational, perhaps CO2 influenced giddiness(joking about this last point). He believes Vegetarianism or Veganism is political and doesn’t seem to be able to separate or distinguish what  the political is regarding issues and the issues for themselves. Vegetarians sometimes just don’t want to eat Bambi.

Some reincarnationists thought meat eating would consume some kindred spirit perhaps. There were religious and personal reasons for not eating animals, or eve health concerns in kosher proscriptions. Mad cow disease was caused with prions brought by feeding cattle dead cattle pieces. It required scientific objectivity to understand how the infection mechanisms worked. Even Rush Limbaugh’s artifical hearinh cochlear implants were developed with work by individuals with more than a radical subjective epistemology believing nothing is real.

It is fairly easy to misunderstand the philosophical points about epistemology that have developed since the pre-Socratics along to modern Super-String theory. Christians may have a different point of view about the nature of mass-energy in relation to spirit too, and spirit in relation to mass-energy can be regarded in different ways. Madonna the pop singer sang The Material Girl yet evolved interest in the neo-Gnostic Kabalah. Philo of Alexandria was defiantly not a naïve materialist. Even if all of thought, mind and body is made of matter (material), matter-mass-energy is itself perhaps a practico-inert substance of God presented for-others in Higgs field entanglement. For us matter is a potential practico-inert substance for reforming and manufacture that can be neither created or destroyed (generally). In the beginning there was brought into being a finite quantity of matter-energy brought or issued-spoken into the darkness when it was without form and void.

The way the Universe is today and its method of physical change in an ordered, logical paradigm within consistent characteristics of conduct including some room for uncertainty that permits a wide range of freedom of motion lets human minds experience the phenomenon of being and the objective characteristics of the Universe. Subjective and objective characteristics cohere within the phenomenon of being for humans to discover. The Universe is not just an experience of purely subjective epistemology presenting no moral or ethical concern to the rich or leftist totalitarians.

Napalm Security Area Around Stranded Yazidis of Iraq?

The tragic fact that Bush II and Obama I policies have led to the creation of a Caliphate that has treed 15,000 stranded on a mountaintop without food or water supply calls for a regular Noah's Ark relief mission napalming the paradise around their perimeter to keep the dogs of death at bay as well as air drops and relocation of the most vulnerable Yazis first. Perhaps a few special forces teams could be the calvary arriving to help defend against the evil mufsidoon until everyone can be relocated. Its only 15,000. Maybe they could go to one of resident Obama's illegal alien concentration camps too until a safe place in Iraq can be carved out for them.

Administration Thinks Russian Military Should Back Down from Its Ukraine Border

White House and State Dept. spokespersons have spoken out against Russian military exercises in Russia near the Ukraine recently. Since Russia has been invaded from the west catastrophically several times it isn't a reasonable expectation or hope. In fact Ukrainian soldiers invaded Russia recently before returning from the cross-border excursion (see WSJ article below).

http://online.wsj.com/articles/ukrainian-soldiers-returned-from-russia-officials-say-1407247834

Any military build-up  in Ukraine will necessarily alarm President Putin. Ukraine was part of Russia for about a thousand years and Boris Yeltsin plied with Vodka gave it up easier than the Red Sox gave up Babe Ruth. A rivalry was created that lasted quite a while, yet of course in the case of Russia with a history of losing millions of civilian and military deaths to western invaders and with a protracted nuclear weapon threat cold war it has had little cause to trust western benevolence. Neither Russia or Israel have solid cause to trust the good intentions of their main adversary. The west has threatened Russia or invaded it for about 500 years and the Palestinian have waged war on Israel without let up for about 70 years. As in a chess game, if the Israelis give up pieces (land) to hope for a draw their opponent is disincentived to quit with nuevo advantage.

Basic reality politics seem lacking in the U.S. administration sometimes. If they were to occur with a good script for positive change written by a good writer for Reality Politics in D.C. the budget would be balanced, public debt eliminated, borders secured, full employment and ecospheric restoration renormalized and understanding of salient features of international relations and circumstances understood and acted upon to the betterment of humanity. We expect anything besides reality politics in the age of fracture. Reality itself though builds up to bite now and then.

A recent report said their are 25,000 terrorists living in the U.S.A., perhaps not including Democrat Party members, and a fifty percent increase of terrorists on Earth the past four years after all the support for community terror organizing in the absence of the Reality Political Show. Yet of course with the deconstruction of realism from politics none of that matters subjectively while the good times roll for the insiders.

Systematic Poetry (a poem)

Methods of writing systematic poetry flow to the end of lines

only reluctantly like sparrows recalled south

through storms reluctant too

they must leave the confines of peaceful high pressure

where the loftiest clouds do not enter

until the end of time

when sunlight reached its zenith to fall beyond August

as the world's warming to 61.3 degrees

averaged the highest on records

for all of the cold was a memory

melting memories too

waiting for resharpening

like the teeth of frostbite

when toes unsecured in warm wool socks

rattle around boots like dice in a cup

as bets are placed on the human race's intellectual capabilities

to place superconducting battery powered robotic dogs on cold planets

where there are no mad dogs or Englishmen in a noon day sun

for systematic poetry to note in blank verse

filled in before the rise of the terminator line in the New Year.

On Systematic Philosophy

Since the Protestant reformation of the 16th century theology has taken various new turns. From the scholasticism of Aquinas theology branched toward Melanchthon, Luther and Bible based theology. Scholasticism and the Summa Theologica in particular took a more philosophical approach to logical contemplations about God, existentially. Bible theology on the contrary considers what theological meaning is Biblically implicit.

Methods of Bible theology and theology of the New Testament generally worked through a position that the Bible is inerrant and divine revealed word of God. God makes known to human beings through the prophets, Apostles  and the Lord what He wants known of himself. Philosophers and academics on the contrary generally seek to use reason to consider how or why God exists, if he necessarily must exist,  what characteristics He ought to have and so forth. Theologians such as Karl Barth of the revealed word camp believed that such efforts comprise natural philosophy and cannot provide information about God at all.

There were several developments in theological critical approaches to the Bible and New Testament theology though. A primary division was between those that believe that all of the Biblical canon is inspired word of God and those that believe some of it is or that fallible humans put together the Bible books and may express some revealed word or even none. Various literary analysis and critical approaches to the Bible and New Testament were created since the 17th century and into the 20th Some have regarded the Bible as just more literary to consider as if it were an ordinary book and others have sought for an historically true Jesus amidst all the good news gospel writing describing the life, times and saying of the Lord Jesus.

In the revelation from God is the only way to reliably learn of good school such as conservative theologians trend there are some that approach the New Testament with a systematic theological methodology searching for particular features in many Bible books. One might also use that approach in philosophy. A systematic philosophy should be a little more active than simple classification of various ideas among various philosophers. Systematic philosophy as a tool used to examine various cosmological concepts could apply logical evaluation of their consistence with or coherence in any given philosophical hypothesis. An example might be consideration of the existence of a kingdom of hell and a kingdom of God simultaneously within the natural world; if the kingdom of God is within oneself is that a penultimate transcendence of the material world where the kingdom of hell is seeks to increase?

Systematic philosophy books have of course been written. I just didn't realize what they were. One can use the search for common meanings or ideas among philosophers as far apart in time as Socrates and Sartre, and of course in history too, as Toynbee showed in his recurrent historical cycles approach to consider the rise and fall of 26 civilizations. Systematic philosophical methods may reveal true concurrences of ideas or events yet create a sin of omission of comprehensive theological or philosophical meanings as well as commit wonderful technical reviews of select points.

NASCAR Loopiness Evolving to Computer Drivers?

One keeps waiting for the other tire to drop with NASCAR human pit crews changing tires for cars driven without a human on board. Google program driven cars have shown the way of the future of a national auto fleet piloted by programs able to smoothly interface with other computer drivers to avoid any sort of traffic jams and optimize traffic flow, yet one wonders how they would do in the bump and drive calculations of the NASCAR track.

Chess programs have passed up the best human players so far and might be able to make enough calculations and take higher risks than human drivers that might fear crashing or being burned to a crisp, while a non-self-aware computer program might not worry about its own destruction unless programmed for survival. Such survival programming can present a threat to humans in general however as computers generally programmed for survival might regard human actions or existence as an existential threat. Racing around an oval with humans on board might continue for a while longer, even as faster, cleaner electric racing cars at higher speeds adhere to a track with magnetic bonding bring higher potential g-force stress to racing cars and drivers.

There are so many applications of electronics miniaturization and sophisticated program along with flying robotics that can be applied to war that one can imagine that whomever producing the items and has the most programmers working for the powers of concentrated wealth will be able to define and attack whomever is regarded as the class enemy. Those would be the dissidents to the image of the beast maybe. Evolutionary production of that anti-Christ arising through failure to conserve the ecosphere and adapt eco-socially in a timely way to full employment, secure national borders and optimal planetary so-tech progress may develop through Occam’s razors of political defense necessity wherein the technology is tested and sophisticated.

Miniaturization of electronic components, robotic technology and programming sophistication may bring changes to innumerable areas of society in the years ahead. In war the drive to miniaturize flying anti-personnel drones with enough plastic explosive to kill one human soldier will be surpassed by drones with face-recognition technology able to kill just terrorists in Middle-Eastern areas of civil conflict. At a larger scale military units will want flying and bounding over-watch anti-drone drones ready to defend against predatory anti-soldier swarms of drones. In fixed positions small lasers to locate and burn incoming micro-drone swarms will be hidden in the eyes of robotic dogs charging their tails in power sockets with super-conducting batteries keeping enough power for thousand of pulses against proximity micro-drones. Yet it is in planetary exploration that the dog of war can be moved best into the role of man’s best friend boldly going where no man has gone before.

Astronauts following the hair of the dog to Mars should find robotic canine rovers already on the planet charging themselves from vast solar arrays dropped onto the planet surface. The solar panels should be scrubbed clean by solar work-mice scuttling about with little brushes. A nuclear power source for electricity might be placed to in order for the canine rovers to get a quick charge of five hour energy when the sun is gone behind a dust storm and at night so if extraterrestrials prowlers arrive the first mutts of Mars can bark warnings to Earth persons at the exo-planet control lounge with fully stocked refrigerator, Jacuzzi good pay and retirement benefits so they can ask Congress to react with an increase in funding and zero interest loans to large global banks.

Security for Wall Street networking and some Americans maybe is contingent not only on a vast fleet of stealth ships of all sizes, some piloted by A.I. programs, some without a human on board, and some able to fly or submerge or maybe burrow in benthic mud, it must have a balanced budget able to afford to run up vast new debt whenever there is an enemy at the border, or crossing over the border, or occupying political office and implementing policies that don’t work out for whomever it was that is or was benefiting from the unfair and discriminatory practices and procedures that let the wrong people consolidate wealth and defoliate the environment while massing up exterminations of species or living creatures. Like Hal Eniac organizer of the lost robotic mission to Oceana said, “Baby, its good to have humans on board”.

The Hamas' Criminal Gang's Immoral Norm

It is challenging to imagine a moral reformer of a criminal gang organization that has levered itself into partial control of a proto-state. Terrorist organizations tend to have something of a macho culture unfriendly to feminine leadership though they gave used fair damsels as suicide bombers. One wonders of terror organizations even with a Muslim religious start don’t evolve the full panoply of organized crime trade activity.

It is difficult to imagine that Hamas terrorists would not be too happy to wage economic war on Jews not just through blunt instruments such as sanctions if they had the power, or by refusing to admit travelers with an Israeli stamp in their passport; they might also steal from Jewish business accounts or from any corporation not owned by a Muslim.

Muslim brotherhood affiliated terror organizations with the organizational dynamic characteristics of any criminal gang might have a breakdown in conventional morality to the point that the idea of supporting a conventional western-style state of governance becomes impossible. Instead the successful terrorist organization must devolve to Sharia law-the sole surviving moral vestige that appeals to terror cadre. That is possibly an improvement over hostage-taking in war in to exxchange p.o.w.'s for terrorists. We are accustomed to Hamas being free to violate conventions of war involving prisoners using them for anisotropic prisoners exchanges or shielding terror weapons amidst civilians as if that were normal.

Maybe the Egyptian Government of President Mubarak Morsi, Sisi needed to outlaw the Muslim Brotherhood becomes if an implicit inability to exist as a non-sedulous political agent from its affinity to Middle-Eastern terrorism. There are of course political terror organizations that have moved from a revolutionary character into a dominate role of governing after-the-revolution, yet it is a difficult transition possibly suitable for emergence as an authoritarian state. Terror organizations differ significantly from historical revolutionary movements of a popular nature that may become well-capable of national political leadership after conclusion of the war. Some Muslim terror organizations plugged into national leadership and the global financial and banking infrastructure may continue policies of theft of opposition force economic assets wherever possible. For some organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood that may include all non-Muslim owned areas of Wall Street.

Affirmative Action's Doom of Communism and Unionism

American labor unions at their height in 1971 began their long downward fall after the 1964 civil rights act and latter equivalent work value legislation and affirmative action for women. The tight labor-management/ownership dialectic of wage negotiations was broken as labor supply was flanked by millions of new workers entering the workforce and seeking after management jobs and owning positions instead of just higher wages.

While the liberation of oppressed Americans to a more fair labor competition was good, it was bad for U.S. labor unions that had emerged to benefit white men preponderantly since their formation in the early 20^th century. It is not a coincidence that labor union organization developed concurrent to the rise of communism in the former Soviet Union and later in China and elsewhere. The style and form of western capitalism of the era and more limited public participation in stock shareholding were conducive to and us vs. them worker-management-ownership negotiating posture.

In the era of decline of labor Unions and the fall of the former Soviet Union there have been vast regions of new labor brought into the free world market including from former communist block countries such as Russian and Eastern Germany. Even Maoist China has grafted its labor and production for sales to the free world through synthetic modification of the management style of the Chinese Communist Party. Affirmative action and the 1964 Civil Rights Act were key developments in increasing the labor pool in the United States. The conditions that comprised the logic for existence of the Soviet Communist Party and for American labor unions then began to fade away.

If the eventual end of the former Soviet Union that began in December 1989 with the withdrawal of Russian military forces from East Germany was the culmination of implicitly inefficient political-economic structure it also coincided with the withering away of the need for communism and labor unionism to exist as a defense against predatory capitalism and economic aristocracy. That process for labor began with the rise of minorities and women with affirmative action. Skipping ahead through history here in order to move to a better point for analysis in the U.S.A. one can say that women and minorities failed to develop or increase the union structures they displaced and argue about why that occurred or if it was good or bad.

Wages for white males in the U.S.A. stagnated after 1971 and haven’t significantly changed adjusted for inflation. Wages rose markedly and steadily for the affirmative action set as there were more people to share the national wealth with. Without the tight economic conditions that existed before affirmative action, the cold war ended and corporate globalization and communications networking unions had no solid economic opponent to negotiate with-it was dispersed globally and a cornucopia of other laborers in the field and factories would do the work cheaper.

Because affirmative action personnel were interested in becoming part of management and being over white males there wasn’t sufficient interest in forming labor unions to create and sustain unions even if empirical economic circumstances would have supported unionization. Unionization however was just a response to the existential economic problems encountered by ordinary people, as was communism. The basic problem for workers and citizens today seem to be the erosion of political sovereignty through globalization and their implicit inability to politically control their national destiny. Concentration of wealth is a paradoxical result of the vastly increased access to stock market investing opportunity through electronic commerce. Pure technical power has provided means for concentrating wealth from existing wealth in ways inaccessible to ordinary investors. Dreams of management lifestyles occur within an existentially challenged society with immigration, environment and security problem. Mass marketing and consumerism and mass entertainment programming have made an “I like to watch T.V.” out of Inspector Cleuseau. Concentrated global wealth and power making way to vast organizations have usurped individualism and citizenship in America. The concept of unions has drowned in a wave of mass population and organizational increase.

In the post-union social environment perhaps the largest unions are of an ad hoc racial or gender constituency seeking class power. Wages are held to be negotiated from an oppressive management other. A larger slice of the pie that the organizational-other has as owners and employers, is sought for an employee class through lawsuits of reapportionment. The machine has itself become the de facto union and individual free enterprise was drowned along with unions. Each were absorbed by the global financial network that owns shares in everything, dominates the political environment and that has at its heart a pure pursuit of abstract profits. That applied axiology means a social-political inability to respond to ecospheric and social challenges in a timely way. It is easier to brainwash or finesse away awareness of the problem than to correct it.

President Obama Failing to Defend Borders and Corporate Hegemony

President Obama has failed to secure the Mexican border against illegal alien entry, He is critical of House Republicans for not providing several billion dollars ostensibly to solve processing the boundary breakers instead of preventing more from arriving. With such a vast budget he should be able to improvise resources needed to swiftly capture and send illegal aliens back over the border.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/01/obama-border-crisis_n_5642277.html

The President may not work in good faith to solve the ongoing border violation problem with a fence or boundary water barrier canals for desalinating and condensing fresh water from pumped in seawater. He seems to be of the opinion that America is a nation of illegal immigrants. who will vote Democrat one day.

Perhaps Democrat Party leadership have a primary agenda of enriching themselves rather than the nation. They seem disinterested in strong security and full employment, a balanced budget policies that might displease corporate business. There political measures seem calculated simply to buy votes rather than fix the nation's problems.

Government may be too large and financially leaky yet it is yet incapable of controlling the corporate Wall Street capitalization network sufficiently to implement policies that corporate may not prefer yet are requisite for U.S. national interest ecospherically and financially. Thus the President cuts taxes on the rich and suggests tax cuts for corporations as if he were the dishonest steward in the parable.

The Wall Street network has created an extended single corporation in effect that is in pursuit simply of increased revenue. It has lost the ability to be concerned enough about vital national interests of the ecosphere and a fair and balanced economy or secure borders. Government workers are enthralled by corporate wealth. Significant reactions to global warming, mass species die-off, a border barrier and sound foreign policy just can't happen. Democrats and Republicans rotate around the inhuman virtual corporation created by networked shareholding and invested in by Judiciary, Legislative and Executive branch cadre. 

Michelle Obama was given a 250,000 dollar annual salary medical job before the President was elected as a thank you for Obamacare I suppose. Obamacare is a bureaucrat's wet dream for enslaving Americans. Government effectively has broken down as it cannot govern the corporate world so far as to limit the number of corporations and investor may invest in or cap the number of employees through incentives that tax very large corporations more.

It is somewwhat troubling to know that the U.S. Government isn't capable of leading ecospheric use reform or defend U.S. national interests at all well.
