V.P. Joe Biden Attacks Mitt Romney for B. Obama

Vice President Joe (Bite Me) Biden has attacked Mitt Romney for Bain capital's closure of an American state of the art steel mill made in 1888 after Mitt Romney left the firm. What isn't said about former Gov. Romney is that his fighting skill at economic trimming the fat and winning for shareholders is not such a bad thing if he is on your team. Team U.S.A. could use a fat-trimming conditioning coach to tighten up American production, bureaucratic bloating and improve conditioning in order that Americans can better compete against the Chinese Communist economic directive intelligentsia to whom so many American job have been lost while the U.S. national debt has been deepening.

F-22 Crashes Mystery Revs Up Investigations

Why do F-22 pilots lose consciousness and let their planes crash and burn? The air superiority fighters are designed to survive opposition force aircraft attacks and surface to air missiles yet they cannot overcome themselves. This is a problem the Yoda of the Air Force should be investigating.

http://www.adn.com/2012/05/17/2468445/no-significant-change-in-jet-patterns.

The present cost of the Lockheed-Martin F-22 is more than 400 million dollars per aircraft. The Air Force has committed to buy about 183 of the swift, stealthy birds at more than 7 billion bucks. One hopes the pilots can get enough oxygen to stay alive at that price, perhaps with an open window?

Lockheed-martin should throw in some sort of fail-safe auto pilot detection system for unconscious pilots that would put the plane on auto pilot, eject the pilot from the aircraft safely to parachute to the ground or provide an electric jolt of awakening. If the very expensive yet neat F-22 is to have much use before retiring to the aircraft museums with the Space shuttle the mysterious cost-overruns and loss of life associated with the aircraft ought to be flanked a little with pilot safety monitors even while more exotic causes for the crashes like the one in the Alaska range last summer that got a search going to find the lost (and dead) pilot are investigated.

Maybe U.F.O.s are zapping the planes to demonstrate air superiority, hidden microwave directed particle beams are trashing pilot intelligence or the pilots are texting and lose track of where the ground is. The Osprey team designers could be free to help out solving the mystery.

Democrat Party Opportunity for Relevance is Swiftly Fading Away

President Obama led the Democrat Party in December 2010 to approve an extension of the Bush II era tax cuts. the President was the Republican's meaningful stooge and overcame the strong resistance of Congressman Sanders.

The Democrat Party turned toward la la land and the gay agenda for the balance of the term accomplishing nothing.  Senator Feinstein would like the nation to pay for shelters for abused homosexuals  as if regular general populace shelters aren't good enough for gay men. When gay men use up their time at the shelters they can just enlist in the military I guess since the President has provided for that.

The Democrat Party may be effectively dead or moribund without any concept of tax increases on the rich and middle class as necessity rather than luxury, and neither do they have a clue that they need to actually cut federal spending 20% as well. Additionally they should increase the effectiveness of remaining federal spending by 20% through reform, means tests and so forth.

The President is once again leading the Democrats through a meaningless maze of tax and spending obfuscatory talking and failing to build support for letting the Obama-Bush tax cuts expire as he should. From a position of strength the Democrats can negotiate small tax cuts with Republicans to lever in federal  spending reform legislation as well as regulating Wall Street financial promiscuity.

Yet the President seems content to transform the nation into the greatest debtor nation in then world and give up an Afghanistan to the roulette wheel of Taliban terrorist bombing ahead with some 20,000 remaining troops for the next administration to consider defense postures with. The President evidently has no idea about how to create stable, permanent confederate states in Afghanistan that would secure political boundaries for the members of the former Northern Alliance and Shiite minorities.

The President's final opportunity to reform U.S. economy even a little is swiftly fading away as his policy of just adding a few more trillion here and there over the remainder of his administration if re-elected emerges for the failing silliness that it seems. The President should rightly fire Tim Geitner and get some real economic reformers in office while becoming a cheerleader for tax increase change-that was good enough for President Clinton when the nation had a balanced budget in the year 2000 for once.

Face Libre: More Lines of Computer Code

This is a note about a new format for search engine front pages, and perhaps for a new social media page appearance-a Face Libre’ perhaps.

The concept may have been already used-I haven’t taken a programming class in decades so this is jut an outline for an idea rather than lines of code. I was reading in a book called ‘Semiotics & The Philosophy of Language’ recently, and the idea of words as simply signs given meaning circumstantially made me think of code for a new web page appearance.

One expects new wage page improvements routinely, and I have seen the standard format with plain hypertext link and print-even with pictures moving in, for some years. With signs or symbols simply as numbers shaped around entry like doors it might be possible to design a near 3-d like expanding entry port with visual content surrounded with alternate pathways or different content. Logging on to that search engine would create more experience of a visual nature (or audio too if one desired) in addition to text.

The idea of recursion is simple enough to program with the appearance of depth perspective thrown in, yet all around the hallway of portions of views-made with signs that are abbreviated content appearances yielding to branching and recovery signed structures, would be that imagery of live alternative courses to take-not a game but an intentional way of perusing through the subjects of a very complex Library.

If it would not be the Library of Babel exactly-with far more abridgments of content, it would a logical structure simple to navigate. Maybe one could ask the program for directions to content areas if lost. The difference is that one would search for oneself and browse too by subject matter instead of asking Google or Lycos to retrieve data addresses.

President Obama; Homosexual Community Organizer Leading the New Dialectical Evolution in Politics

President Obama came out recently in support of homosexual ‘marriage’ bringing some to wonder if a homosexualized America is at the core of his economic policy. The President's community organizer job role training appears to be most concentrated upon transitioning the United States into a butch dominion of pervasive homosexual tendencies.

One might guess that if men were to move into more female roles in the workplace with a softer, effeminate, busy work lifestyle it might be better for dominitrixes in management. It might be possible to derationalze the national and social economic boundaries enough to make the new normal a perverse sadistic-masochistic domination of the economy by concentrated wealth with the electorate unconcerned about public debt, personal economic security and practical loss of the freedom to make opposing political expression.

 Since the Clinton administration made fellatio (derived from the word fellaton not inflaton) the new normal for democratic leaders, the evolution of dialectic to replace the lost Marxist dialectic has drifted to settle upon the narrow shoulders of the Democratic Party in a gay alliance evolving toward national homocracy. President Obama received a blobel prize even before executing his first hundred terrorists with Predator drone shots so the weight of the fellaton has decended upon his shoulders such that he finally came out not satisfied with ending don't ask, don't tell.

 Like the historical Marxist dialectical battle with capitalism, the homoerotic dialectic wages pragmatic war upon the boundaries of non-coopted antipathetic personal civil liberties and concatenated rational expressions of non-conformist weltanshauung in the public spaces. In an era where work and self-directed private enterprise are in decline in light of networking and collectivism, transcendence of traditional economic logic with homocractic bureau-corporatic transition funded with debt and exploitation of distal production sources is logical.

In Sodom and Gomorrah of yore-the United Kingdom of its day, the populace was out after dark partying and sexing impudent enough to accost angels visiting their city-principalities. Fully employed workers with good work ethics do not stay out all night perpetrating orgies in the public square sleeping in late the next day and stumbling through the afternoon with a hangover.

Like the vanished cities of Sodom and Gomorrah a homoerotic evolution toward a future U.S.A. of non-productive financial sector and bureaucratic core of perverts running on borrowed time appears to be the course of the new Marxist dialectic.

Americans had no interest in violating the civil liberties of homosexuals to create contracts binding themselves financially to one another even if in standardized form, yet the compulsory public education indoctrination in homocracy that has edged its way into public schools though federal pansification policy and charges of bullying of dissidents (e.g. Christians) concurrently with logically unsupported proliferation of the atheist doctrine that has simultaneously expropriated science and made it a tool for the religion of atheism makes the government a fundamental agent for the depravity of the social environment of the United States.

The official federal decadence of the Obama administration is not without economic consequences. Its destruction of family values with the obfuscation effects of homosexual marriages will eliminate the family over time from existence and leave a B.F. Skinnerian organic mass electorate in which philosophical thought is non-valued. Philosophical thought is the heart of human existence as more than an organic being equivalent to the amoeba and eukaryotic organisms of no significance.

Human thought is of value. Philosophical thought phenomenally transcends the mere organic phenomenalism that nihilistic atheists and Dakinsians determine the transmission and propagation of D.N.A. to be the only meaning. Semiotics-signs and the philosophy of language enabling expression of advanced concepts also lend support to advancing though structural concepts about God and His relationship to the data of beings He creates for whatever reason. Such philosophical though would never occur to atheists.

One wonders if the three generations of quarks comprising the color force binding nuclei together are a reflection of the three persons of God or comparable to the monads of Leibniz philosophically? One wonders how a nihilistic homocratic core of educators has taken over American schools to promote public perversion and mandatory dialectic confrontation with heterosexual normal marriage and free enterprise liberties?

Practical Meanings of Regulation & Deregulation in Governing

The parable of the Long Island's  taxi service within a free enterprise versus socialized or corporate environment is simple and illustrative for the challenges facing the U.S. Government and way of life of the people of the United States today.

On a Long Island the is a city with millions of people with a need for taxi service. There is enough work for maybe 20,000 taxis and drivers. How does one keep individual free enterprise best supported in that environment? The answer is obviously to limit the number of taxis or drivers in the employee of any individual to a percentage of the over all number of taxis.

Regulation can mean many things; it can have several different definitions and uses. Regulations may liberate as well as repress. That is the nature of governance; any large organization with power may govern or shape the social environment in fact if not in name.

On the long Island companies A, B and C have gained an advantage and capitalized concentrating their wealth and grow to own 99% of the taxis on the street putting their rivals out of business. Their need for competitive innovation declines. Capitalism has been corrupted and free enterprise opportunities extirpated. Companies A, B and C are bought by a predatory global bank and finally the local government passes laws in support of the taxi owning bank.

With regulation designed to keep local free enterprise normalized a regulation limiting the number of taxis anyone might own in the Long Island environment at 100 might have been passed to keep at least 200 independent taxis companies in existence. The competition to get more fares might have driven the innovation of electric cars with faster recharging batteries and better route plotting navigation systems through traffic with real time-information on road traffic flow conditions. That is not some form of socialism-the state owns nothing, it simply uses regulation to keep real free enterprise alive instead of a nominal free enterprise in the corporate state kicking back to politicians.

The Corporate state is advancing through networks and globalism to reduce the prospects for dissident, competitive free enterprise. Intelligent regulations designed to stop the concentration of wealth in an extreme minority through support for free enterprise would be useful for the defense of American economic opportunity, creativity, independence and national security.

N.A.S.A. Planetary Exploration Missions Budget Needs Support

N.A.S.A.’ s planetary mission’s budget has been savagely cut and it could be restored with intelligent political funding design. N.A.S.A. should be allowed to sell advertising space on its missions to Mars. If Coke, Pepsi, Google and M.S.N. could be brought into advertising competition perhaps a manned Mission to Mars could be made sooner rather than later.

Political parties also might want to be regarded as patrons of practical extra-terrestrial progress rather than as hedonist sticks-in-the-mud, incompetent economic management flunkies running perennial deficits with vast inefficient public spending on half-baked pork barrel projects, or unpatriotic kow-towers to Chinese communist party preferences to own the U.S. political landscape through D.C.'s economically servile politicians.

Why shouldn't a manned scientific research colony on the moon be named like Sports Stadiums after corporate or individual sponsors bidding on naming rights? The Republican Mars Frontier Research Station might be built with political action committee donations, or the Obama-Oprah team could name the Martin Luther King Mars Shuttle-Orbiter for a quarter billion-barely a fraction of the President’s campaign slush fund endowment as it is

More modest goals would have the Mars Curiosity Rovers of the future have advertising painted on them like NASCAR racers driven on an oval track. More modest goals would have the Mars Curiosity Rovers of the future have advertising painted on them like NASCAR racers driven on an oval track. N.A.S.A. could set up an oval track on Mars for rovers to race around before going off to do useful work, and they could have sponsor's colors and stickers.

It might even be possible to establish an oval track racing circuit for electric cars in the U.S.A. to rival gas guzzlers that don't work without an atmosphere to burn up. N.A.S.A. could test some of it's electric vehicles for the Mars oval track in the electric circuit track pace car laps in Texas,  Alabama and Florida.

If funding space missions to other planets manned and unmanned is too costly for the federal government to pay for they should bring advertising sponsors on board to help get the U.S.space program out of its slump. U.S. national space leadership will fade away too soon with lackadaisical political support as the nation moves into a banana republic epoch watching the rest of the world pass it buy.

Scientific Atheists Wimp Out on Giordano Bruno Issue

Giordano Bruno was burned by the Roman Inquisition in 1600 for his 'heretical' scientific ideas and has been held for ages to have been a martyr for science destroyed by religion. Yet isn't the truth better said that Bruno was a victim of politics?

The Medici and other Italian families had used the papacy for political purposes before. The Catholic Church of the era was one actor in a vast political drama of contention for power. Hundreds of thousands died in religious purges (and science lost very few people and should have been regarded as sacred cows one might guess that some believe).

Bruno was himself a Dominican friar as well as a scientist. That fact alone makes the issue seem like a sectarian striving for power and direction within the church more so than an alienated and remote Bruno working in a scientific ivory tower at some remove on a shining city on a hill persecuted by pitchfork wielding peasant that believed the world is flat.

It is quite disingenuous for scientists to offer the point that they are a peaceful, non-political form of humanity working soley for the advancement of humanity. Much science from the anatomical books of Joesph Mengele to the atomic bombs of a generation of theoretical physicists and all of today's high tech weapons were created for financial and political reasons by scientists. 

Scientists have persecuted their own commonly as dissidents in environmental science to geology and in physics have advanced new ideas. Unique ideas created by brilliant individuals were sufficient reason for loss of tenure tracks and employment security. Scientists tend to be intolerant in their bureaucratic and ossified stage of establishment.

Religion in Europe was co-opted by politics and economic pragmatism long ago. By the time of Constantine's vision bringing conversion and the rise centuries of later of Pope Gregory to bring the church militant into being the politicization of religion became a fact. Christianity was still virtuous and had no doctrine in support of torture, execution, enslaving others or death when found in the hearts of believers and reading in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, yet the practical worldliness of human social organizations had move the Catholic Church into a political power position and tool role  player amidst the great political dynasties of Europe. The Catholic Church was also directly challenged by a very politicized Moslem religion that directly attack Europe on three axes; the Dardanelles, Iberia and Sicily-Rome.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno

For modern supporters of science to attack Christianity for the persecution of a few scientists amidst the hundreds of thousands of political deaths in the era is a little wimpish, and it is incorrigibly misleading to suggest that Christian doctrine in the Bible can be in some be the rationale for the political extremes of European history that were a phenomena of human social character.

Trans-finite Poems

A red cardinal value-the sum total of meaning
expressing itself like a lightening bolt expanding forever
stimulated from ground charge a little
maybe cheating somewhat and not entirely self-reliant
quantum energy, vacuum energy and virtual particles
all those waves of being that divide into smallest units
shifting away with changing yet equal quantum values
so everything looks consistent, constant and staid enough
to persuade many of the cognoscenti of logical values
culminating in bureaucracies and scaffolding around the library
the Library of Babel that is mapped with Cantor's cardinals
so Escher can draw the shapes of dimensional economic policy
receding forever without debt approaching reality.

J.P. Morgan Drops Two 'Dimes'; The Prisoners' Dilemma

J.P Morgan lost two billion dollars evidently in derivatives trading recently, highlighting the point that the flim sector of the U.S. economy outpaces the production sector as it logically should. The new computing and trading algorithms that banks have to take abstract profits with trading guided by physicists not sharp enough to get academic tenure yet consoled with million dollar pay is just an example of the philosophical/sociological problem called the Diners' Dilemma or the Prisoners' Dillema.

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/prisoner-dilemma/

If some people don't pay the check at a dinner party they profit yet if no one pays the check they go to jail or wash dishes etc. If people voluntarily comply with laws and good government, economic reason and a modicum of altruism the society flourishes generally while of they don't it piles up debt.

http://www.thestreet.com/story/11532035/1/jpmorgan-credibility-cut-with-fitch-downgrade.html

It is very easy for everyone to be irresponsible on economic policy and like the President allow nature to take  its course as if it were micro-economics and required no oversight or ecological relavance-such policies of just bailing out banks and automotive corporations to let the scamming of profits from the world with trading, banking and absrract economic tricks represses the for productivity and builds a structure of world trade bubbles that collapse when so many people and businesses rely non the bunk for support. When if falters the government runs to prop it up again and again until the real day of economic judgment arrives with a vengeance.

The British rely upon global finance and trading and reinforce that policy in the English speaking world that is not coincidentally in decline economically. The United States has 30% of its 'work'force employed in financial related services; the New Freedom Bubble of global trading/derivatives/mortgage/environmental crisis probably will build up unless Mitt Romney is interested in correcting it.

A Philosophical Comment on Trans-finite Series

Perhaps there are only potential infinite series instead of actual. Numbers in some way are in individuated labels on positions (ordinality) given representative values (cardinality) within a set, and a set is a finite portion of the concept of an abstract monism or One.

Infinity is the concept that another fish can forever arise to feed the hungry or another number added to the end of a series. One might regard a pre-set potential of substance-perhaps represented by an unnumbered line as potentially given position spacing of any density designated by the order of positions or placings addressed by a number or numbers. Because the numbers are set with ordinal and cardinal values they are simultaneously finite and pluralistic abstracted from The One, and also quantum values.

To change quantum constants of a finite set such as ordinality and cardinality means changing all equations made with the set. Though obvious it is an interesting way to philosophically regard quantum physical cosmology and the new math used to discover the foundations of quantum gravity. One wonders if it is possible that investigated further into the very small realms of quantum physics creates not only new math, but new strings or membranes as well.

The quantum world seems represented by various quantum components that are believed generally to be integrated within One paradigm that potentially could be expressed representationally with geometric calculus or some form of algebraic geometry perhaps. The Universe itself if a finite substance might implicitly by divisible within quantum units, for to change quantum portions of a finite set with consistency might require changing quantum order relatively regarding spacing and magnitude.

On the Topic of Origin Sin, Faith and Proofs for Select Universal Propositions

Original sin as I think about it, originated at the fall of Adam and Eve. They were physically changed then into mortal form with that strife. Human being as a thermodynamic process is the original sin context that can be overcome through faith alone.

The ten commandments were required because people wander into sundry immoral directions without moral guidance. God provided several opportunities for mankind to become perfect through perfect obedience, yet of course they always flunked.

I read Rosenberg's 'Abraham: The First Historical Biography' last year and really enjoyed it. It is a brilliant intellectual recover and reconstruction of Abraham's life in Sumer from what data is available. It is definitely worth reading.

Rosenberg and Bloom also wrote 'The J Book'. J of course was thought of as the woman of Solomon or Rehoboam's Court who put together from various materials the book of Genesis (as well as a few other,later authors). It is very difficult today to imagine the exact circumstance in which the book of Genesis was put together, yet Rosenberg makes a brilliant, worthwhile effort.

One might also regard the history of Mesopotamia, the migration of human life to the Persian Gulf from Africa perhaps 70,000 B.C. from the Horn of Africa when the sea level was 300 feet lower (it rose quickly about 20,000 B.C.), the loss of the Eden of a Garden like Saudi Arabia and Sahara with global warming, and the later flooding of the earliest civilization on the present day sea floor of the Persian Gulf 300 feet below the surface without a trace remaining. The story of Gilgamesh definitely parallels that of Moses, and the J writer was probably familiar with Abraham's history in Sumer and of Sumerian culture. As a part of cultural history she might have added that to Genesis herself.

If the first civilization in history was lost to the rise of the Persian Gulf and world ocean. If the Bible recounts some of true human history and if the rise of humanity from the condition of innocence as animals before civilization was judged by God and drowned in order that a better civilization with rules (later even the ten commandments) maybe that was progress.

It is difficult to imagine a Universe from then point of view of God. What if he like planets, atoms and molecules and even animals but wanted some intelligent beings to experience existence with? Evolving those creatures would be a difficult process and it would be tough to get them to have a respect for their Creator especially if they make up daft pagan theories, mud gods from the plain of Tillman and cosmology theories about the Universe they experience that bring them to belief in themselves and their ability to understand a fraction of God's creative power, instead of God.

The Bible or Biblos means 'little books'. It is a compilation of many little books with different histories and contexts. I enjoyed reading Pelikan's 'Whose Bible Is It' for some background.

One should not assume (I am not saying you have) that God works with human history from the position of obsolete cosmological artifact constructed by ancient peoples. People over history have done and thought a lot of things, yet God is eternal and ahead of the game regarding human intellectual works. Urartu was transliterated by the Jews as Ararat. The hills of Ararat or Urartu was in contemporary Iraq away from the Gulf some hundred miles or so-its ancient borders may have been closer to the flooded region, that is itself rather historically vague. Yet it was a good place for survivors with Noah to come to rest after the storm with their livestock.

Original sin is in the thermodynamic process of humanity. With immortality and eating of the tree of knowledge (technology, philosophy and so forth) they might rise to consume the entire Universe, or convert it to a quantum computer and pop new Universes into being without being smart enough to pass of safety checks. For that and other reasons humanity has had it garden of Eden wings clipped a little-they just can't follow orders very well even if they are for their own good.

The Universal affirmative and Universal negative propositions in the context of the existence of God seem self-standing. I do not think its reasonable to prove one or the other by asking the someone to prove or disprove the other.

My reasons for faith are good enough yet I do not assume that one can prove the existence of God by the failure of atheists to prove the non-existence of God (the Universal negative proposition). One cannot prove the Universal from the particular. If God was found not to exist in 1000 Universes after complete search, he might still have been somewhere else-perhaps in the 1001st (or he might have moved back to a Universe not being searched by scientific atheists).

One cannot disprove the existence of extra-terrestrials just because after thorough searching with technology no sign of alien life or communication has been found. I don't think God either might place a large neon sign somewhere in the Magellenic Cloud and say 'Hey Earth-persons, I'm over here!'. Instead, one has the prophets and The Lord and faith-even with a personal, transcendent relationship.

Expecting to place God in a physically causal and contingent category isn't reasonable.

Trans-finite Series (a correction from trans-infinite) & Cosmology in Relationship to God

 I would not prefer to describe any attribute for God as necessary in any sort of sense other than for convenience in conversation, because humans simply haven't the authority, and one doesn't want to trick oneself.

That God is omnipresent or omniscient still presents difficult to define concepts (see Plotinus) especially since the nature of the Universe and of human experience is uncertain. Even so, to prove that God does not exist one should need to comprehend existence fully and completely search through it-logically. Perhaps that point is difficult to make without an example; I will write one in a minute or two.

A verse-even a uni-verse may have several definitions and boundary conditions itself that are conventions. Cardinals of trans-finite series (you are correct about Cantor's term) that are variable in reality as well as in theory representing time values for spatial size appear malleable.  The solid state Universe description is a description of human experience of mass-energy of a portion of what may be a very large Universe from an inflation or whatever event occurred during the Plank epoch.

Plotinus described the One as unextended generally. The Intelligence issued the realm of forms and the solid state Universe with its many broken forms (something like broken symmetry in a physical cosmology perhaps). It is very difficult to say anything that God must do as a necessity in His constructions because of the uncertainty of knowledge of the relationship. Logical investigations are quite useful for insight into the unknown, yet logic is for-itself a phenomenon of human reason without absolute grounding in anything besides the circumstance of being.

Karl Popper said that one can't define rationality-one just recognizes it. I believe that criteria applies to God as well; His grace is entirely agape and disclosure of teleos at soley with His will.

Perhaps a trans-infinite series of numbering might be created for infinite series with a variable cardinality or for comparing the absolute value of infinite series regarding relative location. Well, I am not a mathematician.

An example of why it is important to actually look through things sometimes to confirm a hypothesis rather than leaving it to theory.

A Philosophical Discussion Aboard the First Ship Arriving In The New World

‘Well my scientific advisor, what think ye on our prospects for finding natives in the new continent?

‘That be impossible captain. No one knows what a New World native is therefore they cannot exist.”

“Well, we have a general idea of what they might be like even if not specifically.”

‘Such be logical incoherence mon Captain amigo. There be no such thing as N.W. natives. 

“Would you like to swim ashore to look my friend, in order to confirm your theory?

‘Land be not in sight yet Colin’

‘’Ahem’

‘Let me clarify the point. N.W. natives will be some kind of generic human being with unspecified features native to New Worlders living here for thousands of years without contact with Madrid, Barcelona or Paris.”

‘Can’t be anyone lives in the New World. No one knows what they would be like’

“Mr. Science, you would need to search every bit of the continent to prove that is has no population of natives.”

“Why no my glorious Captain, you would need to prove that natives exist with logic in order to contradict my opinion that they don’t and cannot exist.”

“Mr. Science, I am asking your scientific opinion.”

‘Yes sir; my opinion is that N.W. natives cannot exist because they are not defined.

“Good God Mr. Science!”

“God cannot be defined and therefore cannot exist either my Captain.”

“Nothing can exist without a good, complete definition then?”

“That be exact and logical sir.”

“Look Mr. Science, a new continent we have never before seen is dead ahead.”

The Captain ordered the executive officer to slow the ship to let natives in canoes approach..

‘Mr. Science, I shall award you an ostrich feather for your hat. You have invented the necessary equation for de trop existence. The Mr. Science colonialist formula;

For every X, X can exist if and only if Y can define X.

If Y can define X, then X can exist.

Evolving Logically Unsupportable Opinions About Politics, Faith and Economics

'Requirements' for atheists to provide logical support for their belief may be an unreasonable expectation. I would not ask such. I merely point out that beliefs unsupported logically may not have validity. A free-floating belief without logical foundation is good enough in modern economic governance I think, at least in Washington D.C.

If the federal government had required that 25% of all gold and silver taken from federal lands went to the government before royalties Fort Knox might be better off today. If atheists realized they had no logical way to prove atheism there might be fewer.

There is a certain pragmatism requisite for philosophers I think. The possibility of a Creator of all things is implicit in the experience of being even if social knowledge increases over time surpassing prior beliefs about causality.  One might not want to use sophism to skirt meaningful questions though one must decide if the questions are meaningful.

I recollect sailing a boat and waking up in the cockpit facing the stern. Being in Montana a few days before I was a little out of place and thought the boat was nearly below the surface and I had about thirty seconds before being in the drink-then I realized the situation. Yet as Captain of a small boat one must always be aware of any circumstance, odd noise or whatever-one cannot just disregard any kind of question as unimportant, for the boat may really be in jeopardy.

 Living in the Universe could be a critical event with eternal significance though some may not be aware or regard it as such. I have noticed that bureaucracy and establishment in comfort prefer a certain changeless mileau of power and are unconcerned with transcendental concerns (they can probably evolve to the top anyway). Civilizations have collapsed because of the inability to recognize or reform, react to and respond rightly to reality.

Transcendental thought about God isn't dependent upon science or the state of the art of empirical knowledge. Empiricists have now and then sought to make belief in God contingent upon some out-dated physical cosmology or other.

Bertrand Russell took such positions on philosophical questions, yet with W.V.O. Quine one might place philosophical and theological questions within lexical ontology or sets with certain meanings. Obviously some not sharing a given lexicon have the potential for disputing the validity of some lexical sets as meaningful.

Russell working on the Principia Mathematica wasn't inclined, like many scientists today, to give meaning to non-empirical word constructions. One may still use logic to help understand what for some might be regarded as metaphysics, however if one remain purely an empiricist their are probably limits to inferences one might make about being.

One cannot disprove the existence of God. You seemed to agree with that concept, then say that it is not 'what is called for', as if one might or should be able to look into a pluralistic nature of God (more than The Trinity) as one might regard the parts of an automobile from the ground up in order to discover that it is a Car.

I do not believe that people need to comprehend or understand God any more than one needs to understand Einstein's thought process to appreciate G.R. The Son was on Earth and He we may understand well enough through the historical life and works given in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I think it is helpful that contemporary cosmology provides many helpful criteria for thinking about the Universe as an entirety, and its simple enough to think of a Divine Being in relation to what one knows or infers of the actual Universe.

Modal logic Universes in infinite number can be considered as one means of God's permutations of purpose in creating worlds or souls to share experience with Him in the eternal mystery of being (not a mystery only for God I think). Yet if an infinite number of Universe can be created in place, or always existed because God is omnipotent and omnipotent-what would be wrong with that, and why should people limit God's potential to simple causal processes that they understand with contemporary physics?

If the entire Universe were given a quantum scale and adjusts from large to small with expansions and contractions exploiting retro-causality because of directional anisotropy of space-time development, would that sort of philosophical cosmology trivia mean that one cannot consider a detached Spirit transcending the quantum disposition of energy or space or of the relationship of the Spirit to one-self?

While physics and physics lexicons may not be up to describing Spirit or the Creator that does not mean that philosophically and theologically minded people can't try a little (even if inaccurately). It is better than living an unexamined life trusting merely that politicians will evolve moral positions before the end of a second term of office and trillions of dollars of public debt.

Integrated Concepts of The One God & Trans-finite Series

I wanted to write a post on the problem of atheism (and for some conversely theism). Atheism requires a proof comprehensively regarding reality of the non-existence of God, and that cannot be done any more than one can express all possible numbers, geometries and possible maths in some kind of order of non-order or non-cardinality.

One wonders about the relationship of mathematics to physics and expressions of the real construction of the Universe(s) and of what is the progenitor of Universes and temporality. The idea that time can be all wrapped up inside the Planck epoch with space, and that perhaps space has all potential energy then is fascinating, yet one believes that the relationship of mathematic's all-potential-maths that exist as pluralist pieces of an infinite whole or One isn't restricted to any finite context such a a very tiny bubble of space smaller than the Planck length.

As I believe God is a non-locality, so perhaps might one regard the One truly infinite mathematical series as non-local in character.

Logical sets comprising a theoretical ontology are implicity incapable of providing comprehensive evidence for atheism. Logical sets of trans-finite concepts are transfonly in relation to other infinite sets, none of which can be shown to contain all others including itself. Atheism would need to provide exhaustive data representation accurately regarding all Universal, trans-temporal and pre-Universal, before the big inflation and before any possible inflation or virtual loop, before anything ever was until the end of anything that could ever be (because of Wheeler's retro-causaliity idea) ways wherein God might exist to offer even minimal credibility (and it hasn't). Atheists to attain even a shred of credibility-for-others would need to demonstrate that human logic is capable of grasping the idea of God for-himself and negate that idea.

In the Bible the prophet Moses was allowed a small glimpse of the glory of God passing before him before he died. It  isn't evident that even human philosophers are able to comprehend the nature of God or even of one Universe, as if it were a dot in infinite non-space less significant than a period at the end of a sentence.

Without such a logical set of inferences of the absolute trans-finite set that captures all sets and ideas that might be represented in sets, no reasoning about the non-existence of God could be anything more than conditional, contingent and wrong. Atheism cannot be logically proven except as an existential belief for itself held by an individual in error.

Infinite mathematical series of numbers are of much interest to philosophically inclined people. Do they really exist and what value are they since it is possible only to use a finite portion?

Gregory Cantor developed the idea of trans-infinite numbers. That means that not all infinite series are created equal, though we may be biased to believe that all truly infinite series must be eternal since if they are simply in progress of increase they are not really infinite with some sort of beginning and present terminus even if only for a fraction of an instant of time.

The series of natural numbers (positive integers) are finite in one direction; to the right, and I believe that Cantor would regard that as a trans-infinite series. What does that mean? In regard to the infinite set between the numbers 2 and 3 for example where smaller and smaller rational numbers can be expressed in fractions, the natural numbers breezes beyond it.

Infinite number series though seem to be limited and finite in some respect simply because they are not a set of all sets of any kind of number that can be represented. Even number series do not include odd numbers, and positive numbers don't include negative numbers, in fact any series of numbers or geometry is a finite slice of the infinite continuum of numbers in all forms and size.

One of the interesting characteristics of infinite sets of rational numbers  is that they seem to have the potential for being implictly contradictory in time as they are expressed. Because they cannot seemingly exist a priori in infinite numbers without continuing to diminish in proportionate size retroactively from the beginning, with a kind of reverse causality, they might need to exist just in a finite temporaly context.

Numbers seem be nominal finite, proportional sets of true infinity encompassing all directions, dimensions, ordinal and cardinal sets and so forth that is inexpressible. The relationship of that infinity non-contingent One to the expression of forms in the 'real world' studied by physicists makes one wonder of the expressions of possible cosmologies in space-time by The One.

The experience of a finite element of space-time or a given Universe is a provision of from the realm of Absolute Spirit evidently, at least as a point of faith and logical inference.

P.S.

If one defines 'ontology' as a weltanshuung, or world view of explanation of existence comprehensively, then an ontology today seems to be conditional since their are so many of them (although there is only supposed to be one true ontology). Deontology in philosophical history meant 'duty' as one might infer from ontology what one's duty's were.


W.V.O. Quine adapted the use of the word 'ontology' to linguistic sets and logical parameters as if it were a modal universe. In constructing a theoretical ontology I suppose one can make up a set of all valid ideas, put them in a set of words that can be tested for logical validity and then call it an ontology. 


One might find that sort of thing in contemporary cosmology with the requirement  implicitly that the math adds up for the values and constants integrated with observable facts etc.


In modal logic one may construct a 'universe' with theoretical values that are self-consistent even if not at all like the 'real world'. Some computer programs comprise a kind of example of modal logic-for instance gaming worlds where a left turn for an avatar walking down a street always results in transporting to another galaxy in a slum before this universe existed.


Trans-finite series were the result of Georg Cantor's working with irrational numbers and comparing the scale of one set of  an infinite series to another. Some infinities were thought to be larger than others.


There were thought to be two kinds of infinite number series-those with irrational numbers than can be made infinitely smaller incrementally such as between the numbers 4 and five, and those oars-in-the-water number series such as positive integers that were believed to be able to increase forever. For that trans-infinite series the puny infinity between 4 and 5 would be laughable I suppose.


Trans-finite series though do seem to be just another way of adding prior numbers to a next one in a series with a certain value, and of course they all seem in a way to be the same number representing an arbitrary concept of always being able to add one more to the end of an infinite line in one or both directions. Trans-finite numbers do not seem to be as impressive or actual as one initially thinks they might unfortunately. They exist in theory yet not in the real Universe, and are representative of quantity and location within a given relativistic frame of reference if one cares to associate the cleverness of number systems with spatio-temporal coordinates.

Atheism Hasn't Got a Valid Logical Foundation

Logical sets comprising a theoretical ontology are implicity incapable of providing comprehensive evidence for atheism. Logical sets of trans-infinite concepts are trans-infinite only in relation to other infinite sets none of which can be shown to contain all others including itself.

Why the U.S.A. Has Become a Slum Economy

The United States has become a slum economy since the end of the cold war, with the people experiencing the slump of center of effort of national economy development (it has moved much closer to China) being prevalently the poor and the middle class.

At the close of the Clinton administration U.S. public debt was less than six trillion dollars. At the end of the Bush II administration the debt was a little more than ten trillion and now in the last of the first term of the Obama administration public debt has reached nearly 16 trillion dollars. Public debt eventually requires cuts in public spending in order to pay interest on the debt and has many other dangers.

The Clinton administration got the slum rolling with deregulation of finance and flood of illegal alien workers and flimsy, pyramid scheme resembling finances for banking and commodified home mortgages simultaneous with outsourcing of economic renewal to China. The Bush II administration extended and increased the bad financial footing after 9-11 with the military spending of two protracted wars and large federal deficits. When the Banking and mortgage crash occurred in 2007-2008 the new U.S.A. as a slum emerged.

Five trillion dollars of new public debt after Wall Street's crash and automobile bailouts, the slum footing of the economy hasn't changed. The rich are getting richer and the middle class employed isn’t too bad off while the poor and unemployed have increased their numbers becoming a permanent and separate domestic underclass. Radical economic reform of free enterprise to reign in corporate networking advantages might be welcome by individuals seeking a restoration of individual entrepreneurial opportunity.

China is the plum for The Street and globalists and the United States is a slum second rated in economic development plans. The Street is not concerned about profit for the people of the United States nor national economic renewal; they are concerned with making a profit for shareholders. The U.S. Government, and especially the President of the United States is supposed to be setting economic parameters of advantage to the people and not stand idly by as President Obama waiting for The Street to begin employing Americans in good paying jobs and just deficit spending to in the meanwhile.

With the aloof prosperous investors in China and elsewhere overseas agitating perennially for tax cuts and the Democrat Party led by comfortable millionaires without any concept of economic reform (only increasing taxes on the rich minority but not on the middle class) there are few immediate, evident prospects for ending the inertia of a slumping nation. Basic American reforms to limit the scale of corporations and collectives is not on the political radar screen, and politicians and business people seem to live in a fantasy world regarding the decline of the world environment, basically ignoring it.

The Malvinas Should Be Peacefully Returned to Argentina

Argentina should be given its Malvinas Islands back from British imperialists in accord with the Monroe doctrine of 1823 that provided reproof for the evil of colonialism in the western hemisphere by European imperial powers. 

The Malvinas, a.k.a. 'Falklands' islands have been settled by five different nations. The Malvinas, a.k.a. 'Falklands' islands have been settled by five different nations over the course of history. British naval prowess induced that nation to continue efforts to dominate the Malvinas with force. Because of the first and second world war alliance the British were allowed to sneak back in, and of course they were more helpful that Argentines in the cold war era at anti-Soviet activity in the South Atlantic. Payment for military support by sacrificing the liberty of an Argentine island group to imperialism should not be a part of U.S. history however.

The British were one of the powers that let its subjects dwell upon the Malvinas, yet the British settlers vacated entirely after 1774. The Spaniards did not flee until 1811.

Later in 1820 and again in 1829 some British and Argentine privateers dwelt again on the Malvinas and asked protection from Britain and Argentina. The privateers under one Luis Vernet were given reproof by a U.S. Naval vessel-the U.S.S. Lexington.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkland_Islands

The islands were declared free from all Government by the U.S.A. and the privateers were arrested and released in Montevideo. This was in accord with the principles of the Monroe Doctrine and self-determination for free people of the western hemisphere throwing off the shackles of exploitative globalist rulers.

Efforts by colonialist powers to interfere in the affairs of the western hemisphere were to be viewed as acts of aggression. That included the Malvinas Islands.

European Migration to America (HaplogroupX) 30-20,000 B.C. With Siberian Immigration?

The topic is controversial; did Europeans reach North America before the first migrants across the Bering Sea land bridge, with it, comprise a late wave or is the theory all horse puckey? Recent D.N.A. researches have found evidence of European population genes in some American Indians, or have they?

Haplogroup X and its two population groups after dispersion 30,000 years ago are one possible source of European genes in some American Indian tribes genetic history. Some would view that opinion as politically moderate since the Siberian Altaians are migrants from Europe long ago. Algonquinians have as much as 25% mDNA types, Navaho 7% and Yakimas 5%. The Cherokee may have some of the wandering European genetic compliment-even Elizabeth Warren with her 1/32nd% Cherokee ancestry.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_X_(mtDNA)

This research is of course all fascinating. One looks at the flowchart for the history of human mitochondrial D.N.A. and is astounded. Its almost as good as watching a superbowl, nearly.

The Druze have the highest percent of Haplogroup X in their mitochondrial D.N.A.

Haplogroup X diverged from Haplogroup N about 30,000 years and ago and not long after that, in 21,000 B.C. when glaciation was at its peak the X group wandered around the Mediterrainian and Europe and evidently to Siberia. It is easy to guess that some of those people also took the Berengian land bridge route to America. So the question arises; how European were those SIberian Altaians about 20,000 years ago and did they sunburn easily?

An alternative Soultrean hypothesis exists postulating that group X moved by boat along the edge of the ice about 18,000 B.C. to America. That seems reasonable too, for it was an early route for Albs also originally from the Mediterrainian Sea islands perhaps.
