Will U.S. Public at the End of Another Obama Term Reach $30 Trillion

The Obama administration could have let the Bush tax cuts expire in Dec. 2010 and let the budget return to balance in 2012. It might have recovered some middle class tax cuts from a position of strength through congressional negotiations. It could have given some concessions to Republicans for cuts in government spending, it chose not to. The Obama team set the agenda for a future era of forced smaller government when the reality of vast public debt sets in.

The U.S. public debt is about 15 trillion 700 billion dollars presently and will hit 16 trillion before the end of this year. If President Obama were to be re-elected the public debt by the end of a second term might reach 25 or 30 trillion dollars. Then one might guess Democratic leadership would decide to hand the ball off to Republicans and let them fix it.

A better policy would be to elect Mitt Romney in November and hope he can not only cut federal spending, but reform and improve the quality of federal spending as well. In bureaucracies a buck slip is an inter-office paper routing order and a customary policy on difficult work is to pass along the paper with a buck slip moving it somewhere else. Passing the buck is the sine qua non of modern government.

It is obviously the poor, the environment, American independence and individual free enterprise that will suffer most from an epoch of vast public debt,huge interest payments, reliance on foreign products producers and an effete globalist financial sector employing 30% Americans.

Debt increases and wealth concentrates as the U.S.A.moves down toward the upper tier of the second world over time. While U.S. domestic economic growth is only about 2% annually continuing reliance on the Reaganomic idea of increasing economic growth  and tax revenues faster than public debt increase is apparently a daft idea for the President to keep.

The President appears to have no interest in Federal economic leadership to reform free enterprise and corporate scale enabling better individual competition against established corporate collectives and networks-even on the Internet. The President seems to want to rely upon Wall Street to create employment and form rational macro-economic policy when of course the Street  is a global phenomena concerned about profit and unconcerned with U.S. public debt except incidentally. In the meantime he is contented on increasing public debt for he may at some point believe the government can counterfeit its own currency and by up its own debt without damage to U.S. economic interests. 

It is still possible that the dollar may crash in value with a mass sell off of foreign held reserves.

Europeans tend toward being a godless political ensemble these decades without over-much concern for anything perhaps as the result of that century of wars and mass killings. One can look back toward the 19th century when civilization in Europe was more like today's American society and global economic power policy with economic exploitation of anyone or everyone not-an essential concern.

In the 19th century royalty was endangered and aristocracy in decline. Free enterprisers and middle class capitalism were on the rise without much consumer protection. Social classes were in competition and transition and individual with militarism too in the mix stimulated change along with bad social health and pervasive economic insecurity concurrent with expansion and environmental habitat destruction; what a time!

Today's global exploiters are organizing into class collectives with corporate and government networked relationships. While the immorality ethos is personalized through micro-moral decay the collectives simply co-opt individualism empirically.

Corporatism is still corporatism even if it's in the form of big corporations and small governments or of big governments and tamed corporations. A neo-socialist state with corporate leadership emerges in either case.

Untreatable Gonorrhea from Asia is increasing in the U.S.A. The Clap is the second most common infectious disease among Americans with more than 600,000 new cases each year. The untreatable version may comprise as much as 1.4% of the new cases and seems on the rise. The Obama administration economic policy shares phenomenal attributes with Gonorrhea finding the economic malaise untreatable. with conventional and measures.

Not only must the economy be reformed so the poor are employed in realistically quality standard of living providing positions, the entire economy needs to be moved toward a sustainable new foundation ecologically-and that is a tremendous challenge resisted by human beings that believe their is no end of the Earth as an inert object in itself supporting the stage of human technical increase.

Myriad global problems including that of the economy are a distraction from the vital economic and economic reform challenges disregarded by U.S. administrations. The Obama administration may cite its foreign military policy record of letting Iran and North Korean nuclear weapons programs continue, or assure Americans that India's new missile able to launch on Beijing bring stability to Boston and Washington D.C. Those are however only the tip of the iceberg of global issues that should be of secondary importance to the economic security of the poor in the United States.

Moslem Turnout May Be Key to Sunday's Presidential Election

France's next President may be determined by how many French Muslims get out to vote against the centrist candidate and incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy. The right wing candidate Marine Le Pen took 18% of the vote in the primary, so Sarkozy is courting the right to enable him to overcome the leading socialist candidate Francois Hollande.

Muslim immigration to Europe displacing a formerly Christian culture is a perennial political issue. 2011's Norwegian bombing and shootings by the right wing youth Anders Behring Breivik higlighted the point of resistance to lax immigration policy, and that is a paradox.

For the Muslims presence is an inherent conservativism on morality for-itself that runs counter to the trend of European and American moral decay. When the right opposes Muslim immigration it opposes reinforcement for morally conservative positions. It is the left that support Muslim immigration that would extirminate their moral outlook if possible, and the right that oppose their co-moralists even if not co-religionists.

Europeans tend toward being a godless political ensemble these decades without over-much concern for anything perhaps as the result of that century of wars and mass killings. One can look back toward the 19th century when civilization in Europe was more like today's American society and global economic power policy with economic exploitation of anyone or everyone not-an essential concern.

In the 19th century royalty was endangered and aristocracy in decline. Free enterprisers and middle class capitalism were on the rise without much consumer protection. Social classes were in competition and transition and individual with militarism too in the mix stimulated change along with bad social health and pervasive economic insecurity concurrent with expansion and environmental habitat destruction; what a time!

Today's global exploiters are organizing into class collectives with corporate and government networked relationships. While the immorality ethos is personalized through micro-moral decay the collectives simply co-opt individualism empirically.

Corporatism is still corporatism even if it's in the form of big corporations and small governments or of big governments and tamed corporations. A neo-socialist state with corporate leadership emerges in either case.

While the Obama administration could have let the Bush tax cuts expire in Dec. 2010 and let the budget balance giving back through congressional negotiations some tax cuts for the middle class and reductions in government spending, it chose not to. The Obama team set the agenda for a future with smaller government with more debt and concentrated wealth as the U.S.A.moves toward the upper tier of the second world over time.

The French will be alright short of nuclear or biological depopulation. Muslim immigrants might help them to get a hold on the slippery slope of absolute moral decay and remain out of the pit of doom. Norway's Breivik paradoxically opted to oppose the moral force against decay of Norwegian society-understandably since their must be many nostalgic for the good old days of yore when one could go a vi-king with a long ship abroad without concern for one's homeland security. Racial conservatism is difficult to defend these days-especially in the absence of moral conservatism. France may gets its share of Wahhabists and the Salafi if the socialists can get their man Hollande in to office.

On Philosophical Use of Words and Accuracy in Meanings

Philosophical concerns are more than problems. Language enables things to be said about anything. Perfection in language formation may be grammatically possible however meanings and referent object content can be in error as may additional constructions.

"Any honest intellectual would agree that the green cheese of the moon will fall to the Earth thus feeding us all' is amusing yet has some obvious difficulties with veracity for most circumstances of use.

I believe that logical positivism brought some efforts to limit language to objectivive, scientific criteria, however Quine's 'The Two Dogmas of Empiricism' brought an end to that. 'Ontological Relativism' brought out the idea of lexicons for ontology with dedicated meanings. For example, the vocabulary of the home builder ontology is not the same as that of the government bureaucrat ontology, nor that of a non-academic philosopher. The meanings and reference ontology of Dawkinian atheists of a bio-evolutionary orientation is not that of philosophically minded theists; they tend to talk past one another. One must clarify one's word lexicon and consider what users will share its meanings for various projects. Words are a kind of address for meanings.

Plotinus believed that The One had no need for questions because omniscient Being is not uncertain about anything, yet philosophically minded people are not omniscient and have questions about Universe and etc that are not answered satisfactorily.

One might conjecture that the problem with science and cosmology is that the formulations and equations are faulty in a way comparable to that of philosophical problems, and certainly perfect formulations of questions understood well would leave no problems unless new ones were conceived, yet that next Einstein ++ upgrade is late in arriving to provide the correct equations for absolutely everything that might be thought of meaningfully in science and cosmology. 

Sarah Palin Considered for the Presidential Menu?

At the recent annual media roast President Obama trotted out his dog-eat-dog sense of humor with a joke about Sarah Palin and pit bulls. Evidently in President Obama's youth he was an eater of dogs in Indonesia. He remarked that Sarah Palin had recently returned to 'the game' by hosting the Today Show. That T.V. appearance evidently made her fair game for the President's dinner jokes therefore, so he asked 'What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? The pit bull is delicious.

Sarah Palin  should definitely not bring barbecue sauce to any bi-partisan dinners where democrats comprise a majority.

Sixteen Christians Slaughtered at Church in Kano, Nigeria

It is difficult to have a peaceful, contempletive Church meeting when terrorists arrive to toss grenades about and shoot fleeing worshippers. Plainly the Nigerian Government of that predominantly Muslim nation hasn't the capability of defending Christians from organized persecution adequately to support a freedom of religion and free speech social ecosystem. Neither has President Obama shown much interest about the well being of his ethnic kindred that are Christians in Nigeria (even if he is of a Zulu origin).

The U.S. Secret service when not whoring in Columbia or elsewhere have the ability to share some kind of defense technology experience if directed by the President, for others such as Nigerian Christians. There ought to be some sort of a general terrorist screening door checking tech package that would be low enough in cost and effective enough to function at least for large gatherings of Christians for Sunday worship services without being intrusive.

Technology isn't the answer to everything of course, yet it is helpful to have low-cost discrete explosive and weapons detection capabilities to filter out gross attack mode ensembles such as might be hidden by Boko Haram cadre under a thobe, robe or trenchcoat. The President should have the wayward Secret Service develop on off-the-shelf Christian security tech package for Nigeria and other close-to-the-Moslem-terrorist-world worshippers as part of their punishment and correction for their recent unchapparoned behavior with the ladies of the night of Columbia. perhaps installing those systems (portable) in Nigeria would make amends a little for the disrespect to U.S. taxpayers the party guys of the Secret Service have demonstrated for goodness-knows how long.

Sharing pragmatic freedom from terrorism for Christian worshippers is an obvious role for any righteous government to fulfill. The U.S. Government should make sure that the 666 sign that in the Latin alphabet starts with DC does not represent the three branch of government.  President Obama should provide direct assistance to Nigerian Christian Church security and perhaps ask a meeting of  international Christian security leaders to confer and design an ad hoc defense capability reinforcement for anyone interested.

The Plank epoch and The One

Philosophical areas of the unknown still exist. One such area shared with cosmology is the Plank epoch in the first 10^-43rd power of the history of the Universe. Christians have faith in the Person of the Trinity rather than in a given cosmological theory of which there is a new and true one several times a year. Some have said that not all tautologies are invalid. Self-standing concept paradigms may be rare yet God as a self-standing Being cannot depend upon His creations to assure Him of his existence nor even rely upon them to 'prove' it.. From a given neo-Platonist point of view God has no need to ask questions because He has the answers already. It is a mystery why anything exists yet it is also not. A Divine Creator is creative infinitely.

The problem of solipsism has been gone over a lot, as has Bishop Berkley's paradigm of idea-ism. There was much philosophical research into the field of what is perceptible to mind and what qualities exist in nature-I won't repeat much of that here.



With Quine's notion from 'Ontological Relativity' that self-consistent lexicons (and associated concept meanings) are the way things are, it is useful to not attempt to annihilate parallel lexicons and consolidate them within a grand unified lexicon (especially of science). So much meaning would be lost along with the concepts for human use and thought in that process of developing a universal vocabulary of logical positivism.



Obviously scientific work has generally not pursued spiritual concerns, and for all I know it has not developed a subset of definitions of the meaning of spiritual. One might look to theologians for that perhaps.



Scientists might tend to regard spirit as a kind of substance if it exists and then proceed to test for that as something that should exist adjacent to neutrinos and other no or very low mass particles-or at least as a spiritual membrane or monad. Yet spirit can also simply mean the phenomena of mind and life of a human being-its complete history and self-awareness.



In that context spiritual affairs are of more important than quantum mechanics. A Christian might infer that God as a spiritual being is of far more, and perhaps entirely separate from any sort of quantum mechanical differentiation of essence. That is, God as a monism isn't the sum of a plurality of parts or attributes.


Physicists work on developing a unified field theory or basic description of the foundation of the natural Universe. Christians have the faith that God is the basic principle and Author of reality regardless of the proximal manifestation of a given Universe or percepts of its content. Obviously a sub-routine cannot comprehend the entire program generally, of which it is a part. In fact a computer program can be written that writes new sub-routines as a part of its programming (a dangerous sort of thing if combined with robotics), perhaps comparable to a human being, and even so it cannot comprehend the entire program of which it is a part if that program is very sophisticated.


Such a computer program that could achieve self-comprehension would become identical with itself, for-itself achieving little or nothing in writing new subroutines that would differentiate it from itself. Such differentiation or isolation of 'galaxies' from the Universal program would produce interference, turbulence and even chaos. If the differentiation were early enough in the history of the program then the horizon problem common to cosmological theorists would arise.


For one must wonder if the inflaton or VSL paradigms developed to explain the expansion of the Universe such that the cosmic microwave background indicates that there is little differentiation in the mass structure of the Universe at an early stage could be transcended by any kind of faster-than-light universally instantaneous communication systems superior to the local programming instructions of the galaxies of parts when they expanded far beyond range of sub-luminal communication.


For the Plank era it isn't known what energy values or structure prevailed. It is a cloud of unknowing as it were. Godel's incompleteness theorem seems to work with the reversability of cosmology applicable at either end of a finite series of formulas modeling the structure of the history of the Universe.


One of the authors of the VSL theory provided revised equation for Einstein's E=mc²... Ep in the equation is the Planck energy.

E= mc²

1 + mc²

Ep

I will rewrite the equation since I can't get the editor to line it up correctly...

E= mc²/1 + mc²/Ep


Christians can wonder about a Spiritual Author of reality and of all potential histories such as Plotinus conjectured about (The One) whom is omnipotent and omniscient without need for actualization or extension into a Universe with forms and alas broken forms.

ALaska Legislature Drops Tax Cut & Gas Pipeline Bills

Governor Parnell of Alaska has tossed out of the special legislative session the prime bill (to cut taxes on oil corporations about two billion dollars) that was the object of the clave of legislators. Since they had already flunked on passing a bill to get a North Slope to Cook Inlet gas pipeline stimulus bill passed, they should take that up and continue work that the legislature has tried to get done since at least 1979 (getting a gas pipeline stimulus bill passed).


There were contracts to sell Cook Inlet natural gas to Japan in the late 1970s well supported with sound logistics reasoning. Today that hasn't changed with the Persian Gulf being twice the distance to Japan and gas more costly. The state legislature should just get it done since there is quite a delay in completing the project. With the prospects for a fuel cell energy powered economy something that can't work politically here, natural gas exports to Japan seem the best bet for getting the claws of the oil corporations to release their hold a little upon the state budget.

If Space Were Made of Individual, Discrete Units

The idea of space has been written of by physicists in recent years with new quantafied styles moving beyond Minkowski and Kaluza-Klein criteria, so I thought I would add some non-scientific thoughts of my own on the topic.

 Space has been hypothesized to inflate faster than light briefly in the first fraction of a second of the lifetime of the Universe (a convenient conditional truth time indeed because time is a reciprocal of mass and hence faster than light particles might have had no-time or less and got much expansion done with characteristic voodoo-era super-physics to draw out space-time from a tiny, singular start in no time at all), yet there are more modest ideas about the nature of space and time, such that space is somehow a contiguous yet different phase of whatever energy or mass are-so that there is actually only one substance. Space could be like the air in a soufflé with ‘membranes forming boundaries with highest-energy concentrates-yet of course space might not be like that at all.

Space quanta may be scalable in size. Perhaps they were packed in along with mass and energy in the early universe, although empty nor without content. Maybe they were finite in number in the beginning (perhaps mass and energy are too), and so even if they expand there may be a limit to the increase of overall space contingent on the ability of individual quanta to increase in size.

 Space quanta might be able to expand only in one direction and perhaps remain fixed at that size. Space quanta could be localized dimensional content with or without mass or energy quanta tied in to its topical dimensions.  One wonders if energy or mass is transferred to the space dimensions without creating mass, but instead giving space quanta surface tension or energy for increasing the scale of dimensions-that might have some sort of force associated with their composition.

In spite of the assumptions of space increasing forever or collapsing into a big crunch or a phase transition to restart, it would be interesting if space simply achieved its maximum size one day and suddenly stopped like a running dog stopped abruptly upon reaching the end of its rope. Perhaps the inertial mass of the Universe would create chaos amidst the space Universe and turbulent conditions forming mass space-time structure chaotic reshuffling.

Free Expression of Religious Ideas, Corporatism and the Late Soviet State

Free expression of an apposite or opposite opinion exclusive of ad hominems hardly shoves Rama down a throat. In the late Soviet Union individuals were not permitted to express unscreened or uncensored opinions. Committees reviewed even Solzhenitsyn's writings and he had only one book published in that country and it was swiftly withdrawn. You should read the official transcripts for that committee review of Solshzenitsyn's 'The Cancer Ward'. I am a little concerned that corporatism and its control of the www. may duplicate that process de facto.

There is a common antipathetic attitude shared by some of the unsaved regarding the expression of ideas provided by God via Holy scripture. It is not necessary to first accept the erroneous beliefs or points of view of foes of the veracity of scripture before expressing one's own correct ideas.

Hannah Arendt's treatise 'The Banality of Evil' captured some of the implict fault of original sin expressed in the person of Adolph Eichman. Humans tend to cluster in large organizations and reinforce attitudes with use-truths. That characteristic is expressed in anti-environmentalism as well as the selection of many pragmatic homosexuals and abortionists to oppose phenomenal organized moral position antipathetic to the Sodom ande Gommorah way of life. Sure one may discover social moral relativism in select sectarian organizations historically too. When humans with original sin organize the organization cannot purge itself of that characteristic even if it is a religious organization.

It is lucky for us that God saw fit to let a crusade sack Constantinople and enable the Ottoman to finish off the rump state of the Eastern Roman Empire in the 15th century before Columbus discovered America, otherwise their might still be a contiguous New Roman Empire in the western hemisphere-what a fine design though human beings with free will made it allso bloody here and there.

Immanuel Kant urged that people think for themselves and was critical of authorities and individuals that did not do that. It is quite possible to sort through ideas for-oneself and arrive at the conclusion that the Bible is true and that the momentous choice that people have to believe or not is as well.

It isn't a new thing; FrederickSchleilermacher wrote a book called 'On Religion and It's Cultured Despisers', that title is perennially appropriate for the new scientific and cultural opinions against Jesus Christ.

Sect. Rice; Mitt Romney's Secret Weapon

If Mitt Romney is down in the polls at convention time, it may sway his choice of asking former Sect. Rice to run as the GOP Vice-Presidential candidate. She would bring the winning edge, and might somehow be persuaded to run.

Media swags have said that Rice's association with the former Bush administration would dissuade some voters from supporting the ticket, yet even minimal analysis tosses that aside as having substance: Republican voters will vote for anyone besides Obama (ABO), and women voters including blacks will toss Barrack Obama aside like last years clothing.

Secretary Rice does have that persuasive I.Q. and lots of experience. We believe she is well capable of serving in the office of Vice President better than V.P. Biden, if she would leave her post as Sect. of Stanford Univ.

'Faster Than the Speed of Light'

I enjoyed reading this book by one of the inventors of VSL (Variable Speed of Light) Theory. The author, João Magueijo, has tossed in much amusing commentary on his time in England, the U.S.A., Portugal and Australia while developing the theory in the late 1990s and early part of this milennium as well as the effort to get in published. The idea that the speed of light might change is a somewhat heretical notion to the traditional physics community since Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity became the standard model.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo%C3%A3o_Magueijo

VSL theory as presented is available in many models and colors, yet they seem to have the speed of light being different in just the first 10 the the 43rd power of the time of the existence of the expansion of the Universe (a small fraction of a second). Light could have had a different, faster speed then in relation to space because it may have traveled a straighter course through the dimensions of space, so actually it wasn't the speed of light that changed but the distance light needed to travel through space.

With the speed of light being faster in the first fraction of time it isn't necessary to have a mysterious inflaton to balance the size and horizon problems of the history of the Universe, and the values of conservation of energy constants changes too.

All massless particles travel at the same speed of light. Mass is a resting condition of energy evidently and time occurs just to things with mass as they wait possibly forever to get up to speed.

João Magueijo brings many fascinating ideas about gravity and cosmology within an amusing and constructive form. Modified Gravity theory and VSL have the same grounding in the Plank era (and even another physicist John Moffat discovered his own VSL and Modified Gravity theories as early as 1994-different approaches than João Magueijo's yet worthwhile-the two ended up sharing some ideas and work) and are capable of describing the accelerating expansion of space.

While VSL may not be the final description of the cosmological structure of the Universe its approach helpfully provides another way to regard the constants of nature as variables in order to further investigation their origin and relation to materially evident data observed by astrophysicists.

It is a reminder that the observable Universe is just a small area of an immensely larger area that grew greatly in size perhaps 13.7 billion years ago. The Universe is not just 45 billion light years in size-it may be trillions of light years in size, and the the expansion of that all just one cycle of a waveform of uncertain nature. I would personally find that consistent with God's infinite and eternal, nature.

Comment on Cosmological Content

Peter Woit wrote a book titled 'Not Even Wrong'; many physics ideas haven't enough predictions to be falsifiable. One doesn't threrfore regard them as correct. Using science to try to refute spiritual ideas is a specious practice as it leaps beyond its own careful, rational, measured data structures. That sort of work won't even get a refereed article past the editors of Physics Journal B.

The natural selection process for promoting scientific theories was not always what it was today. Experimental science was more highly valued for much of the history of science, perhaps until Einstein's work was confirmd. In the 20th century particle physics and accellerators had more prestige than theoretical physics.

I was reading a book on VSL recently, and the author pointed out some of the conflict between Leibniz, Mapertuis and Voltaire regarding the relationship of material determinism of a universe generated from a first cause. Voltaire-a believer in God within a causal Netwonian paradigm did not at all appreciate the optimalization drift away of Leibniz and Mapertuis with the potential for uncertainty or change from pure determinism of physics.

The recent rise of theoretical physics has tended to follow from astronomical observations rather than from pure theory, or at least to have developed in parallel to it. Many theories of cosmology exist today concurrently, and the challenge is perhaps epistemological in entertaining them all simultaneously in thought rather than in dethroning one such as string theory. Einstein beleived the Universe was static, Hubble discovered the myriad of extra Milky Way Galaxies and then proportional doubling of distance and recessional velocity yet he had no idea about the expansion of space.

Zero-dimension membranes are not sillier than magnetic monopoles. Monopoles seem a logical contradiction though, since a magnetic field has a vector and going in one end (attractor) it is on the other end continuing on as a repeller. If a monopole simply attracted it might end up a black hole, and if it was a repeller it would soon exhaust itself. Within the Plank era there may have been many bizarre states that became feedback mechanisms for the expansion of space-time later even offsetting the validity of the conservation of energy principle.

Boycott London Olympics Until Malvinas Return to Argentine Sovereignty

The Monroe Doctrine updated and applied to the Malvinis could restore Argentine Sovereignty to those islands held by imperial power. Bringing peace and international stability to the occupied archipelago would bring Great Britian closer unto the brotherhood of mankind. Imperialism is successful fascism that rots away through decolonization.

Defending the Mallvinas from possible BP oil spills of the future can better be accomplished with a secure Argentinian democracy guarding the islands settled first by the French although discovered by the Portuguese. The Spaniards and later the Agentinians long lived in the Malvinas, while the British presence left following the U.S. War of Independence.

No Scientific Evidence Exists to Support Atheism (poem)

Nothing leaps from the summit of set theories
to expand ideas into everwhere
whereas days pass the meanings from shapes of perception
mathematically descriptive of changing patterns
constantly providing more to marvel over
constructions in being and time

Without evidence of no creator
the event process of Universe is an enigma
no answers defining absolute parameters of nothingness
that ranges beyond beginnings

An eternal field of uncertainty
providing forms formed from self-defining criticality
fullness that emerges as surrealistic landscapes for research
crumbling with information loss conserved as dissipation of time
dimensions struggling to twist and turn waveform particulates for perceptions

No evidence of atheism exists
persuasively trans-infinite number series are abbreviated
without beginning or end
as if they were within a field of an eternal god
breathing life into beings with coherent mechanics
evolving forever into a kaleidoscope of changes
appraised and reworked by a Designer.

Int. Law Should Ban A.I. in Combat Robots

Not to far in the future individual combat robots will take urban then suburban and rural battlefields. Instead of sending a Marine through the door in some village looking for insurgent weapons caches a combat robot with ncamera eyes, better than human hearing and bullet proof bomb sniffing capability will knock on the door and enter the abode of potential death. Because of the threat to humanity of independently thinking machines with combat abilities shouldn't all those walking machines be operated by human beings as remotely piloted robots only?

None of the combat robots even if just armed with a machine gun should be able to function independently with an artificial intelligence system for anything other than walking about instructions equivalent to an autonomous nervous system. The robots should be cephalic idiots that collapse without a human operator.

Computer chips allow inventors to make 'god bless you' speech novelties with celebrity voice for use in public when someone sneezes, an lets designers make programmable optical recognition scanners that can read certain fields on a paper and disregard others. Designers of combat robots need to be restrained on finding clever things to put into the programming housing unit of killing search and destroy machines.

Racial Profiling and the Martin Case

The cry for an end to racial profiling by policemen in the Martin case profiles the neighborhood watchman as a police proxy in error obviously, yet the demand that cognitive profiling end amidst law enforcement agencies is on the surface a demand for the end of intelligent thought; for human cognitive processes work by associating and classifying images and ideas or behaviors.

Inaccurate judgment does no one any good. Self-deception about ideas and corresponding referent object truth produces fundamental incompetence in human social environments. Plainly social organizations may use false operating premises named by the late philosopher Jean Paul Sartre 'use truths', and that colonialist practice should halt in order to give all citiizens equal protection before the law (where it exists).

Most citizens are interested in efficient, quality and fair law enforcement itself obeying the laws rather than going whoring in Columbia and brawling about the prices to be paid for services to federal officials. Human psychology has developed not only with increase of brain size from avoiding watching too much television but also from better data processing of content input. Average people tend to want to just function without much philosophical thought. Human beings are specialists that want a dogmatic social conduct in which they are rated best in show, and don't want to change that.

Profiling is a macro-structure of the way the human thought sorting and processing works. It is questionable that it should be gotten rid of, instead courses in philosophy for law enforcement officers might be provided that stimulate critical thinking and recognition of formal logic.

Faith Isn't In Retreat

The historical development of science had many individuals working as clerics that made substantial contributions. In the age of feudalism the Church was a refuge for sundry intellectuals that were not aristocrats. Notably in England aristocrats made contributions to scientific advance.

Many people that had little choice besides religious structures were no longer compelled to enroll when secular opportunities developed after the reformation. That was the normal course of social progress. Progress does not always bring good order, decency, justice or right reason although the term progress generally is used to mean 'better' or 'advance'.

Marx had attended a religious seminary, and Stalin received Orthodox Church schooling, and those were two examples of a retreat from faith.

Trotsky's term as General of the Red Army during the Russian Civil War brought him to make many observations about military actions including his own aboard his train h.q. Isaac Deutcher wrote a good biography in three volumes. The godless atheists were an entirely secular flight from Orthodox religion closely associated with the ruling class hierarchy. The Tsar named the Metropolitan now and then.

There is a perennial effort to free Christian ecclesiastical structures from the worldly secular hierarchies that have too often dominated it. Some believe that a priesthood of believers is the right structure with an egalitarian liturgical form. The early friends church in America was something like that, where people met and talked in small groups.

The spiritual war between good and evil is a perennial phenomenon that will continue until the end of days. Christians and philosophically minded Christians have the opportunity to focus upon the Bible and study God's Universe cosmologically speaking without so much trouble from authorities and orthodox opinions on areas not covered in the Bible at all. Average people in the church like average people everywhere have a characteristic of wanting to have a concrete doctrine, method or structure; a religious approach to anything that they can simply repeat without thinking about anything philosophically. That dogmatic approach can perpetuate wrong ideas, yet the social war to liberate society from control by elites and class collectives is also a perennial effort.

There are numerous explanations available for about anything today-many of them wrong of course. The book above cited is a newer publication on computer-enhanced explanations in an age of explanations.

Christians and Jewish scholars of course may dive deeper into contemplation of the meanings and compositions of the Bible-and try to understand better its content meaning. Modern formal logical progress, analytic philosophy and archeological research as well as science generally have enabled a well of additional understanding of the Bible era for those actual interested in understanding.

Contemporary atheists have made an industry of attacking the Bible of course, as if disproving some straw man arguments or refuting the Bible might in some way provide a proof for atheism. It would do that no more than refuting the Ptolemaic System of Cosmology would provide evidence for Quantum Gravity cosmology.

Christians may leave their own concerns about doing the will of God, and having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through faith and the Holy Spirit's grace, to venture into explaining things for secular purposes as if they wanted to be educators in secular settings-however that was more for a time of the past-a distant past, whereas today they might simple provide a good moral environment for education absent of the raving depravity a little, if possible, that seems to be a goal of American leftists in order to reduce population or taxation.

Probably the better course is for inclusion of such philosophical inquiries into the Universe in a curriculum that isn't dogmatic in order to overturn some of the illogical grasps of atheism toward marginalization of faith and people of faith socially. Cosmology is a fascinating topic.

God probably had some practice or practical experience before issuing the process of the eventuation of this Universe. He may have created a trillion trillion to the infinite power of Universes already, and decided to leave this one the way it is for a while without too much direct interference. With practice one develops a calm about tempestuous Universe management I would guess.

Archeologists have discovered huts in Jordan circa 22,000 b.c. Human civilization seems to have arisen in the Middle East and it seems an appropriate place for Jesus to have appeared on Earth to set a new foundation for humanity to function in spiritually until the consumers and producers destroy the world or most of its population in a hundred years or two as some futurists regard as possible from global warming if nothing else.

Liberating Black Holes for Mass and Energy in the Future?

(unscientific speculation follows) In the Universe mass under the influence of gravity shrinks down to smaller and smaller structures such as neutron stars. In a black hole mass may shrink down even further to become quark holes, strings or membranes of one dimension. Yet if no one is presently certain of what gravity is besides the apparent effect of space curvature and time dilation of mass attracted to mass from the solid state level, it is not assurred that mass would not convert entirely into space-time curvature without leaving anything remaining as mass.

Space-time curvature may require a certain quantity of mass to occur. The energy converted to space-time curvature might be another equivalence of mass and energy times the speed of light. Flattened space-time energy may expand (dark energy) while gravitationally transformed space-time may contract. In the Universe there may be much space-time that is unbound from significant curvature and it could have a finite or infinite energy value.

Gravity may be an apparent effect of the entanglement of quantum particle probability waves that tend to interact. Proportionate increase of mass entanglement attracts mass toward mass. Mass sublimating into space-time curvature has the potential to become a black hole.

In the future scientist might be able to transform and release the space-time structure of a black hole converting it back into energy and mass. As the Universe draws down over trillions of years towards heat death it might be a natural resource used to recharge creative stellar synthetic fields locally.

Since the Orwellian introduction of Hate Crimes legislation to attack the gross physical assaults that threaten the privileged class as well as the unemployed and working class one wonders if some sort of Financial Hate Crimes laws that would chastise white collar workers victimizing investors or victimizing internet posters that express political opinions that are not those of various political entities will be added to give Supreme Court Justices something more to chew over?

If homosexuals hate people that are opposed to a queer culture hegemony and would confiscate earnings at corporate sites simply for the expression of disagreeable political opinions why shouldn't they be charged with hate crimes too?

One wonders how all that hate can be rooted out of America, and in what way strong individual boundaries against the violation of personal space boundaries can be enforced inclusive of job security and the right to exist in economic health at a natural level free of hateful financial oppression?

One might also wonder about NPR and other broadcast media? Do they truly have the spirit of love in their hearts or do they have an inward, Leninist hate for people right of center or across from Wal-Mart down the street?

Does anyone really know if the U.S. and Europe love Syria and its President or are they harboring sinister ulterior motives for fanning up the conflict in order to get a regime change in that country? Is it ethical to sacrifice ten or twenty thousand Sunni Syrians in order to get a regime change if they would not have gone about that action without western media support? Is that all 'tough love' or is it impossible to report peace and Utopian lifestyles if they were to exist in Nebraska or elsewhere?

Were there Arab media demands for regime change in Syria before the Brits and Obama and the U.N. decided to support the mowing of the regime of grass? Even if the Syrian Government periodically uses violence to repress its masses, is it necessary for the U.S. Government to become a supporter of blood in the streets their with disingenuous proclamations for non-violence while they intended to encourage the process of regime change?

How can a free society work if the corporate world will not allow free speech on Internet sites when it isn't something they support? The financial harm that corporate collectivism can apply to an individual assuredly may seem hateful to the victim, as might Goldman-Sachs gutting of fish(muppets) investors on Wall Street, if they actually have contempt for investors and consider their money as a kind of caviar to extract?

While the American society continues to exist and before the final ecological break with viability, one wonders if the expansion of the legal concept of Hate Crimes will reach upward to beset the prosperous and rich too, or if such laws will only be developed to hog tie the under-educated from having being a concern to the silk shirt class of 5th Avenue?

Electro-magnetic Mass Catcher for Mars Landings?

In reading a book on VSL recently the author mentioned that someone skydiving without a parachute is stopped by the electron force of the molecules of the ground rather than the ground itself (not much consolation to the unfortunate skydiver though). It was gravity that brought the mass from the sky to meet the other electrons and particles that were clumped below (the Earth).

Shouldn't it be possible to shape an electro-magnetic field on Mars or the Moon that would gradually slow (safely) chunks of ice from space, space ,modules or even an astronaut? If so it could expedite landfall and reduce the fuel need for retro burns of de-acceleration of planet bound mass.

It might even be a fun way to safely skydive on the Earth.

I believe one would need to wrap the objects sent down to the planet's surface in a magnetically charged cover. The electro-magnetic field would be like a large intake funnel that would be oppositely charged and powered up accurately to slow down incoming mass.
