The philosopher Immanual Kant wrote the Critique of Pure Reason and elucidated sundry terms and concepts therein that remain useful philosophically speaking. Sartre too created many useful words and phrases in his tome Being and Nothingness. Each philosophers terminology present useful ways for describing the relationship of the Higgs field's 3-d mass in relationship to the two-dimensional massless particles that exist theoretically outside the Higgs field and journey into it to be slowed down and acquire a third dimension regarded by humanity as mass.
It is somewhat amazing to realize that mass is a secondary characteristic that epiphenomenalizes in the Higgs field having no independent existence in-itself as might be said of the Higgs field or of massless particles and fields not within the Higgs field. One might wonder if information created within the phenomenal Higgs field is a kind of virtual information too; and if the loss of information when the mass conversion of the Higgs field turn off is a violation of the laws of conservation of information far worse that Shannon entropy (actually total).
The human experience of mass and energy are phenomena. Alternatively, the information of massless particles before they enter the Higgs field should I believe be included within the noumenal realm of Kant's terminological coinage. Kant considered knowledge that cannot be known by humans as noumena, as opposed to phenomena that can be known or experienced. Modern physics has historical explained phenomena with deeper understand sending the demarcating line between the phenomenal and the noumenal farther away from ordinary experience and perceptions and to join with the realm of meta-physics (greater physics).
One might wonder of the boundaries of the noumenal realm of massless energy not slowed down within the Higgs field. The range and extent of the noumenal is quite unknown and by definition unknowable...it simply recedes in the distance while human knowledge chases after the edge it can never attain.
How far into the future human knowledge will be able to manage its own affairs on the Earth and not be taken over by an artificial intelligence isn't certain either. Since economics advanced beyond the little house on the prairie with men and women working their own micro and macro economic works and moved into post-modern social organizations and networking for clusters of collectives, klans and various Venn diagram member element ad hoc allied interest groups economic management has become more complex. One might wonder if the complexity of social swarms, trading in dark pools, digital currencies and devaluing individual human integrity will require an artificial intellect to fully understand in the near future. People cannot even fix the environment of the planet they live on so immersed in swarms of social, virtual economic reality as they are.
The Democrat Party's four and a half trillion dollar great raid has stalled in Congress with Democrats fighting amongst themselves. There are two kinds of meaningful infrastructure that refer to physical infrastructure that are plain in the present circumstance; traditional and green. The fake label 'human infrastructure' was conjured up to put the party's L.S.D. platform through in a great raid on the treasury. L.S.D. in the party lexicon refers to the Liberal Socialist Democrat faction.
An honorable government works better in the long run than a dishonorable one with a myriad of fake names and labels, pass it to find out what's in it bills and various sorts of flummery to send pork to favorite special interests. Too many dishonorable government policies actual do add up to a bent and deleterious national course over time. The broadcast media have been especially helpful in conditioning government and the public to forked tongue slight of hand trickery so the government is not entirely alone.
When one compiles dishonorable federal policies of the past half century it is fairly weighty. Thirty four trillion dollars of public debt requiring more than a trillion annually to pay the interest is just bad policy. Good policy would work toward a balanced budget that eliminates federal debt. Bills through Congress should be accurately named. Social service bills should be categorized as social services rather than as infrastructure. Confucius began his career with the rectification of names- that venerable honesty in labeling paradigm continues to have merit.
The trillion dollar traditional infrastructure should just go ahead. Then a 2 trillion dollar soley green infrastructure bill should be passed. After that would be the time for a billion to increase taxes on the rich followed by a social services bill. Honest government does not need to trick or force every measure upon the populace nor should it seek to do so.
I should mention that someone should include a budget to create a scientific council and study group to find a way to make those millions of miles of U.S. heat absorbing asphalt highways heat reflectors ot collect photons for electrical power. New intelligence can be useful.
Democrats seem to have used a bait and switch green infrastructure campaign strategy on the face of it. That is, the plan after they got the Presidential job and both houses of congress the real plan seems to be more about constituent pork than environmental reform. Maybe I am wrong about that, yet the 3.5 trillion dollar plan isn't exactly a green new deal. What is it actually?
It may be quite a number of years before another plan to reverse biodiversity loss, eco-degradation and transition to ecospherically sustainable economics makes its way through Congress. Are politicians simply stupid?
I have continued to work on my science fiction book project. Following is chapter 3 from part two. I had to write some story to support the metaphysical speculation that's an implicit purpose of the book...
Clip Murderm on assignment from Heneral Scaldeen arrived at the Secretions of the Hidden Universe minutes after Victor Scriabin decimated the ruling criminal council and President Maud Dlib in a devastating explosion at Lobang. He did not tarry at the secretions and continued on through to Lootanburn while the height of the imperial criminal first responders to the obliteration of the Supreme Parole council chamber members delivered a horde of criminals to secure the scene of the disaster.
The exit of the Hexi corridor on Lobang was just minutes away via hypertube from Lootanburn and the Emporium mess he learned of on the hypertube’s criminal news you can use screen. Clip Murderm had left the Hexi just before the status bar of the Hexi changed from green to red. He was cut off from the Hidden Universe and evidently left on his own in the original Universe for the time being.
Murderm realized he was the highest ranking survivor of the Imperial Criminal Empire in this Universe and had the natural right to rule, or believed he did until he was informed via comm link of the distress signals of Heneral Cheryl Scaldeen and Commander Nikrita Kukuk. Murderm knew Scaldeen was higher ranking than himself yet if she was in captivity in this Universe, apparently on the planet Beach of the Dwindling Worlds, the logical implication meant he was indeed acting leader of the Criminal Universe; his Universe at least until he got around to liberating Scaldeen from captivity. He wasn’t in a hurry.
The hypertube depot was near the Emporium. A trio of criminal security personnel assigned to the Supreme Parole where waiting for him.
“Get me Maud Dlib’s aide de camp if he she or it survived the blast and have it at the Emporium annex where I will take charge of this miserable world. Have the head of security waiting too, along with the Lobang cartel’s chief enforcement officer.”
With that order to the leader of the pack of three security officers Murderm asserted his alpha criminal leadership role that he knew he would enjoy playing for the foreseeable future. Even so he realized soberly that it would be necessary to work with vigor to free Scaldeen and Kukuk so he would not appear to have been not trying to do so should they actually be released, escape or broken out of captivity at Beach.
The security officer communicated to the security office to locate and deliver the right people to the Emporium annex. They neared the main entrance of the annex located across the piazza from the Emporium.
Murderm looked askance at the dust in the air, shattered glass and miscellaneous debris from the blast at the Emporium, turned his head and walked inside the annex.
A tall, dark stranger with a menacing look and a missing eye replaced by a micro-computer with full spectrum sensors stood by a gaming table. He said to Murderm walking his way; “Sir, I am McRaegore Lutfist, former aide de camp for the late President of Lobang and countless other realms of profit.”
Great Lutfist; give me a report on the state of affairs Maud Dlib oversaw. In short, what irons did she have in the fire.”
Lutfist said; “The late President had looted the intellectual properties of nearly four thousand worlds and had seventeen thousand active planetary and system projects of infiltration and establishment for the end of looting any worthwhile intellectual properties. Most of the data obtained was consolidated here to Lobang and sent through the Hexi corridor to the High council of criminal elites in the Hidden Universe.”
“Yes Lutfist; and the data there was forwarded unto the alien sponsors of the criminal high council. That practice stops now. All intellectual data will be consolidated unto me for data storage through you. You McRaegore are my new aide de camp as leader of this criminal universe. Regard me as the new Maud Dlib if you will and the high council and aliens as effectively dead.”
“What Sir, if I may ask, about Heneral Scaldeen? She won’t tolerate being second to anyone other than Maud Dlib.”
“McRaegore, she is a captive on the Dwindling World’s planet Beach along with Commander Nikrita Kukuk. That’s why I am taking charge during this interregnum of leaders. I don’t know what has happened with the high council or the aliens; for the present the Hexi and communication with the Hidden Universe or the alien universe isn’t working. I brought a copy of all of the patentable data the aliens got from us though, on a hyper-memory chip. Take it and see if you can find anything useful on it that would enable us to restore extra-universal travel and comms.” Murderm took a hyper-mem chip from a pocket and handed it to Lutfist, who took it.
“One more thing Lutfist. Some of the criminals infiltrating the Dwindling Worlds are dispirited by all of the civil rights developments that have curtailed most physical torture. I want to do something to lift their spirits; so send care packages of wireless torture technology to our cells so they can bring torture that is untracable and unaccountable to the Dwindlings Worlds that all of the paper on the planets can’t stop, and smiles to our loyal criminals.”
“Yes sirpt’ Lutfist replied. He about faced and walked to an administrative area in the corner of the temporary HQ of the criminal empire of the Universe.
When the chief enforcement officer arrived following the head of Emporium security Murderm said; “You are Shung Gnu, chief enforcement officer of the Lobang cartel?”
Shung Gnu nodded his head in agreement.
“The you are my new head of planetary security, and I am the new President of the criminal universe. You’re first task is to reform Emporium security. Cut off the heads of all present Emporium security officers, encase them in clear poured plastic to make paperweights for my new staff here, and establish your cartel gang siccarios as my new Emporium security officers.”
“Shung Gnu obeyed the new order extracting a stiletto sword and slashing off the former chief of the Emporium’s security in the blink of an eye followed by a kata killing the trio of security officers present with a similar decisive slash.
“Ah, evolution is such a lovely thing” president Murderm said. “This place has suites doesn’t it McRaegore?”
“Yes sir; a Vice Presidential suite too.”
“Good McRaegore; that is my new Presidential suite and office for the Universe until we find a better, more suitable accommodation. Send a pack of service women to it with champagne, caviar and smoked grimm meat.”
“Yes Sir” McRaegore replied.
Walking away to the mag-lift Murderm said over his shoulder; “And get the best operator we have to liberate Heneral Scaldeen and Commander Kukuk from Beach. Expedite the insertion of personnel to infiltrate the governments and business leadership of worlds we haven’t started looting of ideas yet. I will be busy for a while. Do not disturb for a couple of hours. Get rolling McRaegore; time’s wasting.”
A lot of phrases are trite these days; sadly unification is one such word. The nation is a unification of states, the politics may differ. Some politicians would prefer easy to control ants marching together to serve Wall Street and Boston elites while few comprehend what makes good politics. Good politics are good ideas. Politicians that serve the public instead of themselves and special interests find good ideas and express them in campaigns. F.D.R. and R.R. did that.
I should point out that in the U.S.A. today there is great complexity in making correct political analysis for a polity that is badly informed by a biased and/or ignorant, superficial media owned by and pursuing special interest viewpoints. Many political groups have anachronistic or outdated points of view regarding their relationship in regard to other political groups that are sometimes regarded as adversaries. Even if certain objectives were to be achieved by various political interests the result would not be what they expected. Interestingly enough few are able to correlate all of the meaningful viewpoints, prospects and interests within a working order for the overall state of the United States.
That can apply to understanding real national security prospects for the future too, with foreign affairs running hot and cold in regard to dangers and opportunities together. Some of the filters for viewing and interacting with foreign concerns are contingent on which element of domestic politics it relates to. The United States today isn’t too complex to rightly process politically, it is just the case that not too many are concerned with the way the overall state of national affairs proceeds and instead place blind faith not in God, but in Wall Street and theories about capitalism that are as hoary as theories about socialism.
One may select party candidates that are right and proper persons with bad ideas. The U.S. marketplace wants candidates that are unblemished and that can be sold without returns or complaints to consumers. Ideas for political platforms are secondary and at any rate need be subordinated to the political correctness test of what helps concentrate wealth and peonize and subjectivize citizens. The rich control of mass media and social media assure repression of dissenting ideas; any political thought not recognized to support either the left version of Wall Street or that of the right.
Plainly Vice President Harris could use a new speech writer who comprehends honor and military service, valor and courage as well as the non-harm, anything goes, satisfy everyone that isn’t to the right appeal to the left. She may be the Presidential candidate for the Democrat party in 2024 should aging Joe Biden decide to retire to Golden Pond (not the one in Wisconsin) and fish the Chesapeake Bay. The Vice President’s apprenticeship four years should bring her to a ready condition sufficient to give the public confidence enough to elect her providing the Republicans run another plunder the environment candidate without charisma or good political ideas.
V.P. Harris should recognize that her party is the party of division in pursuit of a one-party system. Reinforcing illegal immigration and bilingualism does not support unification. Neither do abortions, homosexual marriage or cutting taxes on the rich as did President Barrack Obama. Her party divided even itself over the second infrastructure bill. Apparently throwing out the election plans for green, sustainable economic infrastructure, Speaker Pelosi has sought to force another pass it to find out what’s in it mega-bill of 3.5 trillion dollars through in order to give free day care to illegal aliens and others perhaps. Great potential for division and none for unification. Even with the support of Chief Justice Roberts, Democrats monomaniacally pursue policies that divide the nation in the long run as they downsize the white male element of the nation.
Basically there are two good and necessary ideas for a uniting the populous of the United States in the long run.
1) Secure borders with a vast salt-water desalinization canal along the Mexican border piping up saltwater to Deming New Mexico to let it flow downhill east and west making millions and millions of gallons of freshwater with sunshine, evaporation and condensation for the U.S. southwest. Keep citizenship meaningful, Provide green economic help to foreign nations rather than flooding the U.S.A. with cheap labor.
2) Green economic infrastructure for sustainability with a guarantied minimum income, 60% income tax on the richest 1% and free college tuition including graduate school Free enterprise should prevail though incentives should be given to businesses that synergize ecospheric resource sustainability.
Most policies of both major parties downsize existing American and work to demote them to peon-subject status employed by global corporations in cooperation with Chinese communist party elites. Billionaires invest globally and are fundamentally transnational characters. Without a secure polity, the people are divided by rich control of borders, language, culture and ethnic composition demographically. The nation that they would mold into mob of sworn to blindly follow wealth in fact live as meaningless proles reduced through dope, homosexuality and atheism into mindless consumers unconcerned with traditional family units.
The policies of division are requisite for the conquest of Americans by plutocrats. Unity requires respect for God and political consensus to find ways to let people be free without forcing their particular way or preferences upon others. An enlightened electorate of intelligent citizens able to encounter ideas in a marketplace of ideas should be the most effective way to address the challenges presented by demographics and environmental over-use and abuse.
A brief history of how the U.S.A. got to its present state of disunity should include a sketch of the problems with U.S. leadership since the Reagan administration.
President George H.W. Bush inherited the Reagan legacy of federal debt and budget deficits and the end of the Cold War following the Red Army withdrawal from East Germany in January 1989. If 41 had been re-elected perhaps the problems might have been avoided. 41 was a phi beta kappa in economics; his problems were in his primaries and the media attitude toward him. NPR joked of french maids in Nova Scotia and Pat Buchanan ads seemed to imply some sort of Bacchanalian revelry with leather clothing, whips and chains. 41’s relationship with spokesman Marlin Fitzwater were regarded in the same vein as that of Monica Lewinsky and President Bill Clinton. None knew if it was factual.
Democrats ran a slew of candidates in 1992. Either John or Bob Kerry would have been good Presidents. Instead Democrats choose the media favorite Bill Clinton in 92. The Clintons bent U.S. politics until the present with unwillingness to stay off the stage.
President Bill burned a Christian sect at Waco on the 52nd day of a siege inadvertently helping elect President Bush 43 in 2000. Bill Clinton’s Lewinsky affair shattered respect for the Oval office and set an example for loose social morals and public lying for cover-ups that has since become routine. Probably people didn’t really believe Donald Trump’s denials of sexual impropriety with a dozen or more women; it was just that he ran against the rather detested and distrusted Hillary Clinton in 2012 who was herself believed to be a consummate lying lawyer ala’ Lady Macbeth.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign in effect defaulted victory to Donald Trump- the Genghis Khan of American environmental plundering. The Hillary preseidential obsession reminded some of the division with an ax the way that Sen Edward Kennedy elected Reagan by running against and wounding President Carter in the 1980 Democrat primary. Sen Edward Kennedy developing brain concern and dying from it later seemed to take up rather crazy policies during the 1990s increasingly until he finally died. Kennedy and Clinton destroyed any semblance of political unity in the United States. Neo-imperialists are rarely the best or the brightest people with great leadership ideas.
During the Clinton administration Anglophilism raged with Bill Clinton promoting British Thermal Units in conservation jargon and the Youth-knighthood-states being common media lingo equal in quantity to that of sharing rem. President Bill’s Lewinsky troubles helped promote the Newt Gingrich era in Congress of an (illegal) contract with America approach to politics during the 90s. Cutting taxes and promoting irrationally exuberant growth became de rigeur almost unto the present, except for slumps from Covid 19, the 2008 derivatives and home mortgage crisis and the 2000-1999 twin towers and cyber-tech crises.
President Bush 43 lied or deceived the nation about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as a reason to go to war. He said that rebuilding Iraq would cost 50 billion dollars; the cost would add several trillions present and future dollars to US public debt. Because President Bush 43 benefited politically from the war as the Democrat intifada ended along with the Twin Towers people suspected some high-level perfidy was involved. Apparently 43 had an oil company that Osama Bin Ladin or a close relation invested in.
Osama was apparently allowed to escape from Torah Bora with a tardy Pentagon delivering a dud BLU 72 bomb to his cave. He sheltered in Pakistan where President Obama reeled him in on the 10th anniversary of 9-11 before the shelved item became spoilt. President Bush 43’s inept handling of the economy with prolific spending and no-bid contracts for Halliburton in Iraq seemed to lead to the 2008 financial crisis that was in part blamed on President Clinton’s policy of compelling financial corporations to spend on loans for housing, yet derivatives were a clever instruments designed, I believe, by quants employed by elite brokerages and banks.
People were much relieved to have President Bush 43 gone from office, and Hillary Clinton running in 2008 helped get the fast-tracked Harvard product Barrack Obama elected to the White House to usher in every wacko leftist policy of benefit to Harvard and Wall Street. He made Bush II tax cuts and vast federal deficits permanent twisting arms to do it when not appoint Harvard alumni to the Supreme Court of the United States.
The balancing of the federal budget that was a major campaign issue as late as 1992...it became lost afterwards generally with supply-side economics and the concentration of wealth. Perennial deficits became default annual choices for both parties. Deficit hawks perished The only exception was the final year of the second Clinton term when Congressional Republicans owned the disgraced President and had their way with budget cuts to the poor.
Now the nation is politically splintered; the traditional middle class being replaced by cheap foreign workers and other politically elements compliant to the rich. Legal and illegal immigrants generally are more politically compliant with sinecured middle class sponsors. The federal debt that may reach 34 trillion in 2022 if the second Pelosi infrastructure bill goers through, and it will generate the effect of displacing real ecological reform that would discomfort the economic structure of established wealth. Arnold Toynbee noted that an inability for an established economy to change is one of the prime causes of the fall of civilizations. An environment in decline and numerous foreign threats that cannot be easily remedied for a divided national culture satisfactory to the wealthiest brings gloom to some unhappy party sitting on a dock o’the bay..
One might wonder if the Democrat party and presidential candidates used global warming and the green reform agenda as a lever to get elected with a plank many independents care about, and nothing more. The infrastructure bills put forward by Nancy Pelosi do not remotely approach green economic reform. Instead they disingenuously invented human infrastructure worth 3.5 trillion dollars with green concerns getting short shrift.
If the democrats did not believe that global warming, mass species extinction and the degradation of the planetary ecosphere were serious enough to develop a new green economic infrastructure with a basket of economic reform and infrastructure measures worth 3.5 trillion dollars why did they pretend it was during the election cycle?
If Democrats do not presently use their majority power in Congress and with a party leader as President, when might they go about getting that done if they eventually decide that returning the planet’s ecosphere to a healthy and sustainable footing is necessary? If they don’t get something done now that meets the challenges faced by the nation, and lose the Congress next year or the Presidency in 2024 would they expect Republicans to get their work of green reform done for them?
The failure of Von Pelosi leadership to adequately address the national need for green infrastructure reform might just doom the next ten years politically to failure to halt the decay of the nation’s ecosphere.
Sure Democrats will have added several trillion dollars of public debt and brought day care in a decaying world along with dental care for the elderly able to afford Medicare payments each month. There are numerous social challenges including health and basic income, secure borders and foreign economic reform toward sustainability that should be dealt with in separate bills. Conflating them with the national green infrastructure reform agenda is simply very bad sense. The cupboard may be bare to pay for the extrinsically necessary green reform when the vital bill is due (it seems presently overdue).
It may be good to have good teeth in a dying world; yet dental and medical care for the very poor should be handled in a medical and dental bill, as should day care, rather than in an infrastructure bill.
The very rich own most of the businesses that produce global warming in the U.S.A. It is the rich that lead the way on indifference to ecosphere decline, so it would be quite reasonable to tax the rich and Wall Street to pay for ecospheric and atmospheric recovery; creating a sustainable approach to human interaction with the ecosphere cannot well be put off until the dawn of some future hypothetical Utopian age of congressional intelligence and wisdom.
Not only does a falsely named infrastructure bill fail to meet the challenge of ecosphere and atmosphere decline with a vigorous reform response of economic infrastructure, it creates a bias against talking about infrastructure bills in the future since the name is a rubric for splurging upon omnibus packages for Democrats that don’t remotely address the serious existential threats to human and other mammalian biological life on Earth.
Democrats with the baloney infrastructure bill will make Republicans unlikely to be interest much in future ‘infrastructure’ discussions that lead to shopping sprees without adding working, innovative infrastructure even legislatively without much spending. There may be many here among us who feel that the Democrats’ plans for infrastructure to meet ecospheric challenges are but a joke of election time deceit.
Dams, bridges, interstates, the Apollo Program, T.V.A., electrification; those Presidents had the ability to get large scale infrastructure rolling in a way that others did not. The smaller Biden infrastructure plan is the basic; what is absent is large scale water making for the west, infrastructure for moon science and technology labs and the regreening of American with new zoning ideas to integrate wilderness and wild habitat with human habitat. Adding trillion of public debt without getting the job done presents a great opportunity cost; what future bill and debt would be needed or affordable to make up for the dubious 3.5 trillion bill gorging its way through the house?
I don't understand why President Biden has so much trouble getting an orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan. He has A-10s, B-52s and Predators with hellfire missiles available to create safe exit zone around Afghanistan for Americans and others. Instead it seems as if he has taken the Barbara Streisand defense leadership course (I like Barbara yet would choose her for a security guard in a rough neighborhood).
If some sort of blood letting follows the weak looking U.S. exit and lots of Afghans are slaughtered the President will really have a political price to pay, in addition to the loss of life. Sometimes assertiveness counts. The way it looks you would think the Taliban and Isis K are the super-power.
A B-52 carries 70,000 pounds of ordinance for creating safe exit zone around Afghan airports. Perhaps a perimeter circling airfields carpet bombed for a distance of three miles at several locations would permit careful ingress of Afghans seeking to flee that nation before stoning or beheading. Ospreys could lift some Afghans a short way to 3rd countries until they could arrive in the U.S.A.
Russians might have expected some U.S.-Taliban argument about extended the evacuation date and withdraw some of their people from Kabul already. Maybe obliterating the Presidential palace would help urban reconstruction for the Taliban since they won't have a President. What is wrong with Mr. Biden anyway? A simple plan to create safe zones with proper warning to Afghans to evacuate impacted neighborhoods might be a reasonable step to create a safe exit revision plan.
One good side of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan fiasco is that Afghans are very good people that would make good U.S. citizens. The Biden administration should get serious about brings two or three hundred thousand to the U.S. and settle them in California.
Afghanistan is a tough part of the world these days. I suggested years ago that the U.S. should establish old Spanish style fortifications there that are very safe places for soldiers to reside while backing up the native army for 50 years or so like we have in Germany because of the "'Russian threat" presumably. Alternatively the U.S. doesn't want to seem like a colonial power so 20 years may be the limit of working to create a safe zone for everyone in central Asia.
The Taliban with a new and improved army well supplied by the Biden administration will be better at self-defense for thirty years or so and will even have an air force with helicopter pilot training presumably donated by former Pakistani pilots. Maybe the Taliban will defrappe Chinese expansion when they aren't on the Chinese payroll. perhaps China will regard the Sea of China as an easier spot to build islands in order to claim shallow verdant waters that actually belong to several nations without adequate militaries to defrump Chinese expansion.
The Taliban could get off to a good start if it allows a few hundred thousand of its people to exit and help them get to nations that want them unlike Turkey, Greece and Russia. The Talibani could seem more civil, modern and willing to work on good large projects with shovel-ready jobs like build a high speed rail from the Indian Ocean to Russia should all parties want anything like that, and have the dollars to build it.
Because there were reports that Covid 19 causes subtle brain vessel rupture in the brain stem it seems wrong to nearly require school kids to be exposed to Covid 19 in public schools in Texas, Florida and Alabama. Maybe the governors of those states ought to reconsider their efforts to sicken school children that might need some goading to wear a mask in school instead of robbing a liquor store or burglarizing a home as some kids in Florida reportedly have tried on occasions.
Why is it that some state governors seem to be from the bottom of the barrel on intelligence yet do so well? Is that a union kind of thing. Not that the U.S. Government or yippee weather radio gets anything right; not even same day wind direction forecasts like as not. The stupidest thing about Obamacare or food stamps is that they aren't administered like federal program with services valid in all the states without requiring that poor people change their state of residence to get the state officials to believe they live there. Programs that are designed for the sedentary and established jst don't work so well all of the time for the poor that need to travel seasonally in order not to freeze, or get heat exhaustion or to find a job.
Sickness can occur in a human regardless of what state one is living or travelling in, and hunger can also occur if one goes to another state to look for a job for six weeks. Some bureaucracies require six weeks for a coffee break.
Relying upon state governments to deliver federal programs is simply stupid in the modern era wear people don't use horses to get around so much as they used to. The Von Pelosi extorion plan to lever 3.5 trillion dollars for a simple 1 trillion dollar infrastructure plan to pass seems dubiously ethical as well; it might be better to give a $3000 stimulus to all poor adults earning below federal poverty level than to just dump pork to special interests. It might be a lot cheaper and more fair. Why not eliminate income tax and sales tax for anything solar or wind power related as well instead of filtering progress through some lame federal program probably dumbed down by state governors.
With the fall of Kabul now inevitable one might wonder what President Trump would have made of his negotiations with the Taliban to end the conflict in Afghanistan. President Biden simply let the U.S. military exit and the Emirate of Afghanistan move in with raising a fuss.
President Trump was fairly skillful at negotiating internationally and it is thus ponderous as to what he would have actually done with Afghanistan if he had been re-elected. Mr. Trump tended to drive hard bargains with fair results. It is somewhat challenging to believe he would have been so limp-wristed as President Biden in effect repeating the U.S. exist from Vietnam.
The 2020 election was a choice between Charybdis and Scylla and it was reasonable to abstain from voting. President Trump rated a D grade on his Covid 19 leadership and an F on environmentalism while President Biden leads the immoral political choices of democrats and a globalism that downgrades the U.S.A. and traditional family structures.
It may be that the Afghan army simply went the way of the Taliban without much of a fight when faced with the choice because western elite values of homosexual marriage were ludicrous to expect to be favorably regarded in a conservative Muslim nation. So it may be that President Biden used a kind of hard pragmatism regarding long term prospects for U.S. interests in that part of the world. perhaps a future Supreme Court decision will realize that marriage really is a heterosexual event and rectify the abomination of the Robert's court; homosexuals can make a legal encumbrance for themselves if they wish comparable to that of matrimony. Less usurpation and more reasonable legislation with the consent of the governed would have been a better example to set for a polarized nation divided along party lines, or even deeper, along a line of those that support real democracy and equal political rights, political pluralism and free speech, secure borders, a good ecosphere in recovery and those that don't.
To work to change Afghan society for two decades and then drop the exposed coldly when some practical military fortifications and security help to the Afghan government was possible makes me wonder what the values were that made the deal of giving the Taliban everything they want was.
Does the D.C. political scene expect a warlord to emerge to challenge the Taliban. Are warlords even morally qualified for U.S. support. Did the U.S. in homogenizing an Afghan military so centralize it was to erase the prospects for warlords to arise? Will the military equipment the U.S. gave to the Afghan government and the military training not go largely to the Taliban? There are numerous questions one might consider if it is not really practical to ignore the Taliban, wish them good luck for a happy a prosperous reorganization of that nations and just go about passing a half trillion dollars of day care in order to let more people work for Wall Street while their progeny are indoctrinated by the party.
The recently released U.N. climate report isn't anything that wasn't already known. In his book 'The Final Warning' James Lovelock- the author of the Gaia hypothesis said that it is already to late to save the planet from becoming preponderantly desertified and people should be planning to live like African ants in large hives. He wrote that the U.S.A. would largely become a desert and just a few places would be green. What is obvious is that in spite of happy Biden administration comments about the optimism they have to overcome challenges, the nation is as likely to respond to the challenge of global heating as well as it has to Covid 19 or actually, less so.
Politicians are largely not competent to design an ecological economic reform policy. It it worse than the challenge to Bill Clinton while President of being able to walk and chew gum at the same time; politicians would need the social capacity to get voters to go along with their plan to radical transition the U.S. economy to one of long term environmental sustainability right away, if they had an idea of what such a plan would look like- and they don't.
The Democratic party is interested more in expanding the number of voters from Latin America through illegal immigration and Republicans have governors that are global warming and covid 19 skeptics. Democrats want to increase female wealth and affluence globally and that unrealistic desire accelerates non-sustainability. The Biden administration is perpetrating another Vietnam flight phenomena in Afghanistan and perhaps rightly so since it is an advocate for the extremely divisive homosexual agenda and homo marriage policy that motivates Muslims to attack the symbols of decadence and depravity. The rich own the broadcast media that is a sycophant for corporate expansion globally and a corrupter of democracy subverting independent political developments as well as social media censorship and manipulation of search engine listings.
The Democrat Party under Speaker Pelosi has become a one-party system to the limit of its ability forcing every issue possible without consent from opposition. A half trillion dollars for day care may reduce global warming and mass extinctions of course, and the moon may provide green cheese for all chess analysts to munch on, yet if that doesn't work how will 4 or 5 trillion dollars of additional debt fix global warming?
Perhaps the Von Musk move to Mars program is the one idea that works that may actually provide a refuge for the most rich to retreat to if a natural final solution of planetary war to solve an intractable political issue with irrationality happens...this time the irrational final solution would be mass human decimation through biological war. Luckily the world's a test tube of biological PhD experimentation with so many recent graduates. Surely the excellent politics one has experienced since the Reagan administration left office will give everyone a reason for hope, soma, and happy drugs to ignore the problems. I am not optimistic about the world's prospects for avoiding critical blunders and the common irrational method of default politics when rationality doesn't work. I wish people ordinarily were smarter than they are; maybe they can be more like the Inca building infrastructure on large scale that can solve environmental challenges.
Building a water desalination canal network along the Mexican border might provide millions and millions of gallons of fresh water to help reduce desertification. It is actually possible with siphons and solar power. No one in D.C. wants to take up anything besides investing in Wall Street and cutting taxes though, realistically.
I read several essay subjects on topics of philosophy, natural philosophy, cosmology and government that were/are science fiction content from a book project I am working on titled; "Spirit and the Martian Art'.

Selections from Spirit and the Martian Art
I am working on a science fiction/philosophy natural theology book and have recorded a few selections from it hence the video where I read a few of these selections.
““Nothing we can do about that at least in the Dwindling Worlds except to stop the thefts and leaks. Getting patentable ideas to market as soon as possible is necessary if we are to keep ahead of destructive environmental challenges, and destructive interference from infinite Universes and dimensions that may conflict by design or accident with our own. New inventions created a priori to resolve circumstances that don’t exist yet though might occur at some future or past time- we cannot regard other universes as being on the same time metric as ours obviously since universal space-time is self-standing in relation to the thermodynamic space and configuration for-itself and not for-other universes…those inventions may keep our Universe and the sentients in it alive and with a future instead of being haplessly rolled up by whatever concern crashes into it or that drops in from higher dimensions Victor. We will advance all of those inventions and grant patents that become non-exclusive after three years with ten percent royalties to patent holders in perpetuity. That is the best available way to keep new ideas in production and from being buried under exclusivity and suppression from market of ideas manipulators.”
As the pair neared the space relocator they had fabricated remotely they discovered aspects of the power of the planet size quantum computer for it began collapsing waveforms by infinite numbers around them.
Long ago the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics had developed a Schrödinger wave function collapse that became surpassed by the more accurate Everett many worlds paradigm where the wave function never collapsed; instead a new reality was branched to resembling a Metaverse existing for God with every possible Universe differentiation even by a single quark actually existing. That was quite a different scenario from the venerable Copenhagen interpretation with a quantum particle at all possible location yet at just a single place when observed with the collapse of the wave function…a grounding of the infinite flight of locations and velocity the particle.
Loren and Victor slowed their pace as they were within seventeen hundred meters of the virtual relocator vessel.
Victor said; “Let us yield a little time for the relocator vessel to recognize us and merge its being for itself with our mind fields in-themselves and for-others.”
Loren, your know it occurs to me that quantum interference like that of the double slit experiments might be instructive for getting answers to the questions of how quantum interference occurs in a many worlds, Multiverse paradigm of infinite issues of quantum entanglements and steady states of sub-luminal speed mass comprising universe. Why shouldn’t quantum inference and even universal interference arise to form concentrations of mass across infinite numbers of dimensions?”
“What Victor; do you mean interference patterns generating trans-dimensional black holes?”
“Well, not exactly Loren. Derivatively speaking, what wind of spirit arose to trouble the waters of non-space in the beginning? Why should any initial trans-universal primordial field have differences with a first cause? Perfect symmetries and balances, perfect scale, extension without point of origin, a word spoken into the darkness”?
“Are you making the suggestion that the Metaverse might not be real Victor?”
“Not at all Loren, although it could be that some kind of complex quantum interference patterns are generated by fields external to observable steady states of sub-luminal entangled mass within the Higgs field. Apparent observations and travel like we have made for-ourselves may be macro-extensions of an Everett every possible universe kind that are simply local and made to support out choices.”
“Then the Metaverse may not exist, just our observations and experiences of appearances of what it would be if it did exist because of macro-field interference? That must be a positive value role for interference that is a response to our wave function data and anticipatory future inertial disposition.”
“That might be the way it is Loren. One cannot be certain.
Around them, and across the landscape, the quantum computer directed the collapse of virtual quanta wave functions concentrating trillions and trillions of tons of mass at a single spot building toward immanent formation of a black hole. With foresight entering her mind somewhat inexplicable to herself Loren broke off their experience of the Mbutaag structure and conjecture about the wave function’s referent object system. Their mathematical feet took a shortcut interdimensionally across Hilbert space and tensored them into the super positioned virtual ship relocator existing beyond Schrodinger waveform collapses in all possible worldlines within the hidden Universe. Thought activated their relocator and Loren with Victor exited the collapsing world.
The virtual ship relocator encountered turbulence during the transfer of Loren and Victor to one of the secreted worlds. Virtual relocator reconvened quantum coherence to all possible locations and decohered the quanta into a field that pervaded the Universe located and let three dimensional objects exist in a steady state. Yet there was a paradox in quantum entanglements and quantum transfer between a coherent state as determined by wave function and a decohered state determined by a semblance of wave function collapse; information regarding position and momentum of quanta need exist apart from the quanta itself. The paradox of information about the uncollapsed location of quanta and entanglement of quanta cannot be resolved with a simple account of a continuous field with proximal actions and reaction reciprocals. And the possibility of coherent extra dimensional transfer of information seems equally unlikely without a recursion of host libraries of information going to the initial library of data; perhaps God. For it seems evident that the Gödelian paradigm of the impossibility of a set of all sets containing itself (except for God) within a logical structured paradigm appears relevant for information too; at some level the information of quanta that needs always be meta-quantum existent need coincide with a primary field with no library or information kept apart from the quanta.
If the Metaverse had no information about location and momenta of quanta apart from the quanta initially, the entirety of logically ordered structures or relations among quanta or quantum fields should be improbable.
Lies, Victor thought, are varieties of deceit. They are false information implicitly serving to conceal the truth. And what is the truth he wondered? It is things-in-themselves and things-for-others as they implicitly are without concealment of what they are.
Deceits are false information. Even camouflaging a military position is a deceit. Yet inaccurate knowledge of the nature of the Metaverse isn’t a self-deceit unless one believes it is true, that is, if one realizes that knowledge isn’t absolutely certain and knowledge is the best one has a a likely probability then the true nature of the knowledge subjectively is understood even if the actual facts turn out to be incorrect.
Deceits, Victor thought, are intended to harm or at lest to convey false information weather or not they actually harm. Enfilading lies, revealing the falsehood of a deceit may be easy or challenging, effortless or nearly impossible in real time. If the purpose of a deceit is to harm it may be harmful. Alternatively a falsehood or lie that is evidently false to the receiver of the information given by the lie may be laughably transparent and harmless for it is understood to be a lie; a simple deceit not believed at all. Lies Victor thought further are simply efforts to harm others, or efforts to defend oneself or others from harm in some uses. Lies and deceits of all sorts are an element of the human condition. It may be that Satan whom is said to be the father of lies has made deceit a priority in the very nature of reality in order to bring as many souls as he can to eternal harm ending without faith in Jesus Christ and God.
Victor continued to consider the nature of deceits as the chronometer drew near to zero. He realized he would need to use deceit for himself in order to gain access to the Emporium and the council chamber of the Supreme Parole where he might have a chance to end Maud Dlib. It was not possible to allow her to continue to oversee the plundering of the patentable ideas of the galaxy and even the universe and kill the lives of countless people inhabiting countless planets.
If Satan has a grasp of the mathematical nature of the Metaverse then he may have access to the mathematics of individual human being minds and work his evil maladjustment upon the equations, geometries, calculus and infinite series of mathematical structures comprising each individual mind in relation to its place in the math of the Metaverse. In that context direct insertion of falsehood and wrong answers into the peripheral mathematical structures of a mind would be directly harmful and people would directly believe falsehoods as though the lies of them were their own and from their own thought. Lies and deceits at the extreme end are another form of the effort to harm others. Placing false structures into the minds of others is worse than vandalism; it builds an apparent self-deceit that leads the subjects toward a destiny worse than any imaginable, without concern. Only the Lord Jesus Christ and the workings of the Holy Spirit can bring the correct answers to the lost without perfect mathematically structured minds acceptable to the perfect mathematical structure of God making up the eternal realm of mathematical structures thought to be the phenomena of the Metaverse in-itself.
“Yes”, Kurt replied. “The true nature of God is imponderable perhaps. We humans may known the Lord Jesus Christ in the configuration of the Metaverse. I wonder if the evolution of infinite mathematical structures in infinite dimensions of Hilbert and phase space follows a particular order within so much randomness? I also wonder if randomness becomes regular when extended to infinity, necessarily through infinite recursion and repetition of varieties of very similar random series. If there is a mathematical evolution of everything that exists within the Metaverse structure, and if local phases of it within universes are graduated and sequential manifestations varying just slightly- even by a molecule from an infinite number of others, to what extent the determinism of apparent random selections is a formation of what is possible given the existing structures? It is as if only certain select codes satisfy the possibilities of unlocking an intellectual capital storage vault as reciprocals of a transcending structure that would disallow any non-matching entry.” Kurt looked toward the direction of the sea breeze. The star still was bright in the sky and had moved overhead eliminating shadows.
Maxwell replied; the aliens asked me for knowledge of the relation of mathematics to the most basic theoretical structure of the Metaverse. I believe that knowledge may have been sought long ago in the Garden of Eden when a snake asked of a women to bite an apple she had been ordered by God not to eat. It may be the snake sought to use humanity to learn of the operating system of the Metaverse what it could not for-itself. As you can see of this manufactured world Prime of the aliens there has been some progress in learning ways to manipulate local mathematical structures to configure mass in Higgs field equivalents. Physical addresses of some universes of the Metaverse have been learned mathematically to enable journeys far from the local universe and safe return. That is real progress gained through sorting through all of the patentable ideas existing so far as possible. The leaders of the Serenity Corporation the aliens employ to steal the patents and ideas worth anything believe the project is simply intended to dominate manufactures and control wealth absolutely with it shared in concentration among C.E.O.s and alien elites. Such a naive and greedy outlook missing the point of the aliens search to make of themselves dominant little gods of the Metaverse.”
Let me tell you something about subjective experience and perception Kurt, I believe it is useful here. Individuals experience reality personally, subjectively. The phenomena of mind is that of consciousness interpreting atomistic content reaching it through eyes and skin, ears and taste from the field phenomena of a universe. There are common social experiences of perceptible aspects of a field; that is everyone with healthy organs of perceiving atomistic content as data can share a similar though not exactly duplicate experience for example of the solidity of the ground of a planet they may stand upon or of the photons reaching their eyes from a star. Perceptions of atomistic data that aren’t common experience that anyone usual may have, that is experiences that are completely subjective and not shared in the common realm of perceptible quanta remain personal. If God visits a miracle onto an individual the experience cannot be shared in the common realm with others as a directly perceptible experience. God may in theory visit an individual mind directly without need for the use of the field of potentially perceptible quanta, yet alternatively, he is free to shape the material quanta for interpretation through the senses of the intended perceiver subjectively. This echo chamber in some respects transcends the boundaries of subjective perception and makes a universal local area network of the mind or minds of those entering the chamber. If we use the echo chamber our minds will be superpositioned in all of the locations of echo chambers of the local area network that is presumably that of the Prime planetary structure. Our minds will be super-positioned without waveform collapse to a particular location.
“Maxwell explained to Kurt; “While infinite dimensions can exist recursively in one point of space without time or space no actualize for observers; in fact Ehrenfest interference delimits data from higher numbers of dimensions to lower numbers. Complexity and subtlety arise in greater compilations of dimensions than in lower that is filtered out generally from trans-universal infinities of cloning, duplicate universes. So universes with lower numbers of dimensions may have self-standing laws, data and content even while the Meta-universal host field sustains them from zero to n-dimensions.
I am becoming familiar with the adaptations and changes made to my echo chamber by the aliens Kurt. I can see the basic math structures of the Metaverse through a glass darkly as it were...a capacity the aliens haven’t refined their visions sufficiently to equal yet. So they are limited in their use of the echo chambers to their own universe and the Hexi corridor that they have fitted between the original universe, the hidden universe and the Rhomboid universe.
The Hexi corridor actually may readily be adapted to provide access to infinite universes of the Metaverse that itself is infinitely incomprehensible spatially, dimensionally and in regard to time as it is forever increasing beyond the grasp of intellect. It would be an error to allow the aliens the opportunity to learn of the potential use of the echo chamber that is for them little more than a fast transport and surveillance tool over the populous of three universes (so far as they have with the obvious exception of the Dwindling worlds).
All of the Metaverse’s mathematical structures are in the mind-plan of God; the modge panc. I can adjust the local math of spaces and dimensions the echo chamber provides existence in for us, and will make a few alterations before we exit near stage left at the heart of the Prime planet.
Loren said;”There are two basic forms of government for human worlds these days Kurt. Those that seek to concentrate wealth in a tiny minority and make slave laborers and happy work minions of everyone else, and those that prefer free enterprise and democracy with limits to capital acquisition as it threatens the integrity of elections and enterprise. The Dwindling worlds as you may be aware prefer free enterprise with capital concentration defense caps as a better way to develop human potential. Corporatism and even communism share imperial political goals in the sense that power is concentrated and the majority are repressed and conditioned by the minority holding the reins of wealth and power. We suspect that the theft of the intellectual from the Sendufax vault was directed by our opposition forces and affiliates. The number of minions working to make slaves of themselves and to become subjects of imperial forces is fundamentally without limit. Evidently a modicum of intelligence and creative thought is requisite for comprehending the nature of imperial-corporatist-communist political power concentration.”
As they walked down the street they could not miss the fact
that the buildings occupied just one side and the opposite was vacant giving a
vista of a great valley with mountains beyond. Reaching the restaurant a sign
proclaimed it the Good Shit Cafe. They sat down at a table and a waiter
appeared with a menu for each.
“Good morning travelers”
the waiter said.
“Good morning; just water and croissants for us with
vita-spread. Let us have a bottle of liquid computer too” Loren replied.
The water left and
returned quickly with their order. Victor opened the large clear bottle with
swirling images inside and poured the viscous liquid onto the tables’ surface.
Liquid computers
were powered solar photon collecting intelligent and self ordering liquid crystals
with their own implicit memories capable of forming their own structure
internally and externally; usefully adaptive to angles of solar power input and
operating criterion for the shape of being. Able to adapt their viscosity
across a full range of solid to liquid they were interpreters of broad band
frequencies.
The computer became
a full circle angled toward the sunlight from a star over the valley and began
displaying an advertisement for world conquering software.
Skoolya systems
offered a plan for a pittance that detailed the way a criminal minority could
concentrate wealth and takeover political power from a majority on a frontier
planet by setting restive internal proletariats and political minorities
against the majority; dividing and conquering while sympathizing with the
minorities against the majority political power that was a rival to the
upwardly mobile criminal minority seeking to concentrate wealth for-itself. The
advertisement claimed that a tiny criminal minority of less than one percent of
the population could control ninety-nine percent of a planet’s wealth by
appealing to and unifying a numerical majority of the populous against a power
majority that is the rival to the criminal minority.
The ad explained
criminal imperialism can draw in broad allegiance against democracy politically,
eliminate taxation of the rich and downgrade the former majority political
power rivals; apparently the newly empowered political classes that replace the
previous founding class of a democracy would have no concern politically beyond
trading places with the former majority political power that had repressed the
concentration of wealth through taxation and democratic means of governing. The
satisfaction of being the perceived new majority political power would blind
the new political power to their role as minions of their sponsoring and
coordinating political overlords that own the public media, planetary business
and finance political campaigns. The way to own a world politically could be
purchased from Skoolya for just five easy payments of some paltry sum such as a
tenth of a planet’s gross space output and the marriage of an heir to one of
the junior executives of Skoolya.
“Skoolya’s got an interesting,
feasible plan for orchestrating takeover of a world economy by a criminal gang
non-violently. The there is the additional lesson plan for manipulating elites
to support the imperial control for environmental reasons of ostensible
necessity of reducing global population to sustainable environmental levels;
social engineering methods applying solid criminal enterprises of mind altering
drugs, sop jobs with good pay instead of ubiquitous robotics and the
elimination of morals to lead the populace into a withering yet contented
condition of population decrease. Ancient Earth’s population drop from ten
billion to a sustainable two billion (before final elimination of the
non-criminal rich) was held as a prototype proof of concept”. Victor looked a
little worried about the ad.
“Well Victor”, Loren
said; that is a Cherybdis or Scylla approach to a kit for building a Criminal
Imperial Empire; the home grown non violently coerce of subtle and constant
coercion of a population leading itself to destruction or the main stream just
establish a base and blast the population away with neutron bombs approach your
planet of Mars experienced. It is remarkable that populations groomed by
criminal imperialist gangs to takeover democracies never see the criminals as
threats to democracy in-themselves. Propaganda through public communications
media obfuscates the simple fact that free enterprise democracy with high
progressive taxation can defend democracy from both criminal imperialism and
authoritarian communism” Loren suggested.
“Sure Loren, free
enterprise and democracy with high progressive taxation keeps wealth
concentration below half of planets total wealth resources and democracy alive.
With function free enterprise democracy the flourishes a marketplace of ideas
that find solutions to environmental challenges. Mars was moving that way to a
limited extent in the decades before the arrival of Serenity and the N.T.S.A.
Some democracy activists sought to be as free as the main sequence economies of
the Dwindling Worlds before the attrition there began.” Victor finished and
took a deep swig from the bottle of ice water.
The liquid computer
advertisement concluded and the main menu appeared.
“Solving the
environment and biospheric decline challenges while adapting a planetary
economy to realistic challenges of population increase, and natural resource
limits can be done with free enterprise democracies if the delusions of the
masses concerning functions of democracies and economic systems as
self-regulating without need for intelligent human design can be enfiladed.
Google recently sent me an email concerning my blog to let me know that it doesn't appear in search engine listings well and afforded me the opportunity to fix that. I wish I could help google write computer code so my search engine does appear in search engines often enough to get a thousand views a day as it did until the Obama administration was in office a year instead of the 1 to 5 views it averages these days.
When big search engine corporations like Google need help from writers to fix their html code so their search faculty works kinda good that may indicate something is wrong. I just don't have the time to learn to be a good html programmer especially since the place I live in Alaska hasn't got cell phone service, electricity or a road yet.
I did spend quite a few years periodically trying to tweak the html code to make the search stuff work better. Another issue I couldn't solve is that the blog hasn't earned a single penny since the Obama administration when it froze at 63 dollars and 78 cents. Maybe MSN can consult with google on how to make search engine listings work and coach them on writing html code (just an idea).
The other big web business issue is about Amazon.com. How can it be a monopoly since I buy about all of that sort of stuff at ebay? If it is like Standard oil was in the Rockefeller era or like Bell telephone before the break up, shouldn't there at least be collusion between ebay, Alibaba and Amazon to control the world market for on-line sales? And what about Wal-mart since they too have on line sales?
Maybe the issue is really about search engine listings and what shows up. I don't know. perhaps experts at html code writing should review the stuff sorting out what everyone sees on line.
Shouldn’t Medicare include the provision that no one pay more than 10% of their income for full coverage? If some people need to pay a quarter or a third of their income for medical coverage, Medicare really isn’t affordable for everyone. Although the national economy is developing to concentrate wealth and power as never before in U.S. history it would seem reasonable that the very poor shouldn’t pay as much as the middle class for equal medical coverage in the Medicare program.
Optimal foraging theory may account for the way natural resource extraction develops in a market economy with citizen/minions with allegiance to corporations and imperialism instead of democracy (progressive taxation is requisite for democracies to survive the shift toward aristocracy concentrating wealth) and blinded by a broadcast media dedicated to the proposition that all profits should mainly trickle up to Wall Street. Human health however should not be a function of the way optimal foraging profit skimmers of Wall Street and D.C. corporatism view maximally efficient markets with efficiency defined by a what concentrates wealth best to 1% metric.
It seems wrong to me that prosperous retirees get very cheap full coverage covering everything from doctors to hospital stays and drugs while the poor get just free hospice care and some hospital stays. Evidently both major parties feel the best place for Americans to have equal affordable Medicare coverage is in death.
