Emerging Styles of Trucking and Postal Service Automation

The future of the nation's transportation infrastructure should be a field expected to rapidly evolve. Transportation costs drive up the price of consumer goods and also make the nation a more expensive place to manufacture items for export. A profusion of coders and self-driving truck emergency remote control mediator-operators are compatible with national education trends in support of competitive values in regard to international competition.

It is unfortunate that the advance of technological innovation displaces workers in established fields. If there was an ordinary effort to retrain displaced field workers to construct the new field tech application it would decrease the stress. There should be many construction jobs developing energy and intelligence collection and distribution access points along lanes designed for self-driving trucks.

Self-driving trucks appear to be an inevitable evolution in the nation's trucking fleet. Self-driving trucks can work 24 hours strait without mandatory stops for driver time off, dinner breaks or urination. Truck owners with free drivers 300% more efficient will have a substantial financial advantage over those with human drivers. Self-driving truck AI. systems will also be able to communicate and coordinate with other trucks better over the road to allow seamless, uncomplicated packaging of truck routes.

While it may be five years before half of the nation's highways have self-driving trucks. Even before then some freeway planners may consider constructing dedicated lanes for electric self-driving trucks drawing power from an in-highway line. Why stop for fuel?

It may also be that someone will innovate new ways to change flat tires on-the-move without stopping. Without human operators an increase in tire changing technology will probably arise.

Like trucking the postal delivery system is also likely to experience increased automation in the next several years. Intelligent, reusable postal packaging may replace individually packaged containers for shipping articles. Reusable packages with artificial intelligence will eliminate the need for using tape or glue for closure or written addressing each of which may slow processing. Intelligent package containers will use Bluetooth or other short-range wireless signal to coordinate and direct their shipment itinerary without need for human handling.

Intelligent packaging will have a collateral application of discerning smuggling of illicit goods for-themselves and when included in national and international shipments as discrete units amongst units.

Postal deliveries may involve drone aircraft to increase routes,range and speed of delivery to remote postal processing hubs in addition to self driving trucks full of packages that sorted and loaded themselves.

Regular street postal deliveries by self-driving postal vehicles may use self-driving or artificially intelligent servo-bots to walk mail to the door drop. The postal AI systems may also be used as reliable police auxiliaries on the alert for ad hoc criminal activity through their optic and audio input. The nation's highways may be made safer with self-driving delivery vehicles equipped with radar and observation cameras to help hunt down air polluters and drunk drivers.

V.P. Biden Saber Rattling With Turkey on Syria

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden wishing to sound fair and balanced as an unbiased Democrat observer on the Syrian civil war reportedly said the United States is prepared to accelerate war on Syria with help from Turkey if it can't get what it wants in the negotiated political settlement talks on-going. The close Obama administration partnership with Turkey on intimidating Syria to annex another nation to the new world order appears potential unfair to the Kurdish fighters in the region whom are overwhelmingly more deserving of a synthetic new state than Turkey-the former imperial power in the region.

It would be far better if President Obama in his lame duck year were to focus on getting Texans to innovate constructing artificial mountain range condominiums north of Dallas to create 3x the surface area when making housing instead of just closing off all surface area. Artificial mountain range housing developments can create new ecosphere for wildlife and have far better interior hanging garden/saltwater evaporation and fresh water making condensation values foe mariculture than asphalt beshingled stick frame housing developments.

Plainly the President should be finding ways to extend the Dallas Orange light rail line to Tulsa-yet the jewels of Syria call I suppose.

Race Class Consciousness and the Logic of Black and White

Having learned classical and symbolic logic before continuing on to read analytic philosophy and the philosophy of logic my point of view of social political class consciousness issues tends I hope toward the objective. If the point of democratic politics is to assure equal protection of the law and the social and legal equality of all citizens within secure borders then objective use of linguistic criteria for class social references should be uninhibited by biases of political correctness for or against particular social classes.

It cannot be just the media and government that are free to liberally employ racial class designators in political polls, census demographics, various recruitment quotas and so forth. Ordinary people and academics also need be free to be realistic in addressing political class differentia if democracy is to defend the rights of the citizens and fundamental rights of citizenship. If Muslim terrorists target Germans or fellow Africans in death distribution sprees for political and sectarian purposes for example, the racial class object of wrath is meaningful to recognize for security purposes.

If objective political analysis is to function well to serve social reality and purposes for equal protection of the law then racial class consciousness terminology when used should be nondiscriminatory regarding preferential treatment for any given class. Like Venn diagrams with given set members that might be placed in any valid position the world of political discourse will not be able to find true analysis nor serve all citizens equally well if particular set member terms are banned from use. If black class consciousness in political movements like the 'black lives matter' movement of the Obama administration are valid and socially acceptable then so must 'white history month' or 'news for Chinese people'.

These terms must be regarded as valid class designators employed phenomenally to advance the interests of members on given issues comparable to set membership in a class action lawsuit rather than as bigoted organization that should be repressed. The mildly editorial and somewhat anonymous power of political correctness that suppresses universal fair logical terminology for select social classes works against the existence of an objective and even scientifically rigorous political lexicon that can objectively consider the validity of all social and political claims, assertions and expressions without fear. In such a globally information rich era the failure to be free to employ class designators objectively would create notable gaps in efficient social analysis not to mention liberty.

Philosophy as an objective social science employing logical parameters for political analysis would create a modal Universe wherein all class assertions might be quantified after expression in logical terms. Claims of white class interest or black, brown or red could be placed within nation-class boundaries as well as international boundaries comprising classes for comparative and quantified analysis with a variety of potential sub-class and macro-class elements added. Like various sorts of physics and chemistry formulas that may while remaining consistent with empirical rules creatively express new propositions, social consciousness and socially unconscious class values may be formalized for the purpose of discovering truth regarding political power and the effectiveness of state intervention to promote a fair and just social equilibrium.

The citizens of a democracy in the modern world exist within a social stasis with innumerable interactive 'future shock' factors of communication. The expressions of power in the polity through mass communications and indirectly through surveillance support the usurpation of political power from the people unto concentrated and faceless power. A partial antidote to that would be a return to the strength of democracy in free speech without fear of being labeled a user of hate speech or bigot for considering racial class and directing news to particular targeted audiences objectively when it is useful to do so. White Americans have as much natural right to defend their class interests as blacks, browns and yellow Americans. It is in the obscurantism through repression of class rights that corruption cinches up gains of power and wealth from the masses. It is in the failure to objectively consider real social and political states of affairs that corrupt power redistributes wealth and power toward imperial and global sinkholes.

A healthy democracy defends in own borders more readily and well than it pursues imperial global interests and supports conflicts abroad with military and financial support for regime changes. It balances its budget, has little or no public debt, supports a minimum income for all citizens, health coverage for all without distributing personal information abroad and is cognizant that the economy needs to be adapted to be consistent with existential mass social well being within a recovering ecosphere rich with wildlife and wild regions. Objective political and social class analysis and free expression cannot be restricted from objective use of real social designators and classes when the real interests of the citizens are quantitatively considered. People should not be frightened of the truth, instead they should be informed bite it.

A Universal Widget in the Realm of Forms (in paperback)

I have published a paperback version of my science fiction book. It's a philosophical science fiction consideration of Plato's ideas about forms.

Plato wondered if forms of material things were actualizations of transcendent blueprints from the mind of God perhaps from a realm of forms. Philosophers sought a kind of Rosetta stone for comprehending quanta. In contemporary cosmology a Universal tool for generating forms has gone missing from an extra-terrestrial world. Patrick Voevoda-a philosopher and friend, investigate.

Ravens and Friends

During the many years I camped in a tent in S.E. Alaska ravens were a usual part of life. Science has shown that ravens are about the smartest bird, with blue jays and magpies being second Ravens make camp life in the northern forest far less bland than it might be with so few creatures living in it besides bear, wolf (if one is lucky) and so forth-it isn't the Amazonian rain forest so rich with wildlife.

Ravens usually woke me up each morning flying over the tent or landing nearby and sounding off with various calls just before light when safe flying was possible. They weren't attracted just by the possibility of food, although they will recognize people that feed them now and them and distinguish them from those that don't, as they also distinguish those that have attacked them from those that haven't.

http://www.nwf.org/news-and-magazines/national-wildlife/birds/archives/2013/crows-recognizing-faces.aspx

Ravens will interact simply to have something to do, vocally. One can reply to basic raven caws with a similar caw, yet the vast range of raven sounds changes, and they have a repertoire that English language speakers cannot well imitate. Ravens seem attracted by certain kinds of music from a radio, and seem to like sound quite a lot as it is a tool for communication as well as pleasure. Some of the sounds are quite remarkable. With good sound recording equipment and living in a tent several years a scientist could record quite a raven lexicon, yet its important to have a relationship with the birds rather than to be simply a visitor in order to observe the social communication permutation.

After feeding ravens walking along a road a couple of days with leftovers or crackers attacked by mice and deemed unsafe to eat ravens on subsequent days remember the source of food and will  follow the walking individual and fly as close as a foot or two away to attract attention and stimulate the recall of the walker that the raven wants food. Ravens even remember where a trail is that the walker will take and may approach just at the critical moment as a last chance to get a crust of bread.

Raven life is interesting to observe.

Why It's Tougher for Some to Focus on Christian Concerns Now Than in the 1st Century

I think it is because there are more distractions and competing agencies of socialization.Cellular telephones and television and automobiles formed a different culture where attention to one truth alone is not easy. The economic facts are more complicated too and isolate people socially within a mass culture even while conditioning them to things like Facebook, Twitter-headedness and so forth. Christians may work in liquor stores to support a family or encounter rock & roll ministers that don't have true faith yet want true middle class income. Popular video games like HALO are indirectly vicious anti-Christian propaganda and pro-evolutionary training tools. It is the best of times, and it is the worst of times.

How to Make Snow Ice Cream

Take a large bowl and pour in a little milk or half and half, some sugar, vanilla extract and add snow slowly stirring the mixture up until the ice cream is as you like it. 

I like to use about a half cup of milk and sugar, a couple of teaspoons of vanilla extract and lots of snow to get a half quart of fresh ice cream that should be consumed with the stirring spoon, yet its according to taste obviously. Some people get radical with the ingredients or add more.

Undercounting the Homeless in Dallas-Plano

A Dallas radio station reported today that last night their was a metro area-wide count of the homeless for government purposes and that the number was approx. 600 seriously underestimating the actual number of homeless people.

When I flew into DFW recently and travelled to Plano to begin living in a tent, I discovered that it is challenging to find a place to safely put up a tent. Plano is a community sprawling north extending the greater Dallas area with expensive cloned homes with mal-designed steep roofs designed better for snow country roofed with asphalt shingles rather than solar photon collecting tiles. Little space is allowed to remain for wildlife (actually about none) though nice bike paths and green spaces are planned to let the entire community be a sort of poverty free middle class slum without homeless people, cheap motels or anything that would upset the aloof milieu. Homeless people may still be away from urban centers and living more like coyotes at the edges of town where they may dash in to try to find work occasionally.

In my humble opinion the actual number of homeless people in the Dallas/Plano area is more like 2000. Counters of homeless people only find the ones that are easy to locate rather than those that have some sense and try to remain out of sight of the violent automobile driving goons that prey upon the homeless to alleviate their sense of inferiority.

In the environmmentally mal-adaptive suburban sprawl of cloned 400,000 dollar clone homes even their human servo-units have adopted the ethos of purging poverty and environment to the shadows, and purging any unregulated tree caused shadows.

ISIS Accellerates Purge of Christian in Middle East- Trash St. Elijah's Monastery

ISIS reportedly destroyed the oldest Christian monastery in Iraq, or Kurdistan as the case or border may be, in Mosul. The structure was 1400 years old.


The monastery was previously destroyed by Tahmiz Nadir Shah of Persia in 1743. He also executed the monks living there at the time. ISIS at least destroyed an abandoned facility. Yet they apparently have no sense of aesthetic values, are inartistic and rudely annihilate ancient empty buildings that the economically excluded draw comfort from in reflecting upon the fact that the glitzy rich  buildings of now will also be dust someday along with the swells in them. Get a life ISIS-leave the world heritage sites alone.

Federal Budget Deficit to Rise in 2016

For the first time since the financial crisis of 2008-2009, the U.S. Federal budget deficit will rise relative to the economy. The deficit will reach nearly 3% of the nation's gross domestic product in 2016.

Increasing debts seem likely in the next decade as the economy and federal budget is rather ill-founded.

The continuing very slow oil price per barrel -just 27$ today, will ease the transition to a sustainable economy with lower comparative entropy and more efficiency if intelligent political leadership has a will to do so perhaps renewing U.S. independence economically speaking and leading the way bite example.Full employment,guaranteed minimum income and housing that is realistic environmentally offer opportune goals for a better society.

Integration, Disintegration and Equilibrium

I watched a physics video primer on equilibrium the other day and it made me think about the way basic chemical and molecular forms change in the context of larger systems. Equilibrium is a more or less balanced state of multi-component systems including space as a component in distinction to being. Change of a balanced state of equilibrium involves disintegration of that state and integration to another.

The parameters of chemical equilibrium may be analogous to larger systems comprising the entire universe as well as to language and social concepts about the nature of change and condition of the economic infrastructure of any given system. Space-time change is itself an integration of the complete complex to construct compresence while disintegrating the past simultaneously. Change of space-time itself means disintegration as well as integration. Humans may try to form a changeless social milieu, such as existed in ancient Egypt, and conservation is not always bad-especially if in a lifeboat. Life is a process of change even while some spiritual things and forms remain the same.

There are open and closed systems with relative states of equilibrium. Space-time evolution or change of physical systems along a time axis, with time being a subjective measurement of the systemic change, involves the disintegration of an existing comparative equilibrium and the integration of new components or component relationships toward a new equilibrium.  That new equilibrium is a status quo that is changed or evolved with additional disintegration of existing forms and relationships  through integration of new components.

Obviously with integration being a change of disintegration of an existing equilibrium the effect upon terms of political correctness can integrate new ideas that potentially may disintegrate a status quo-not invariably and undesirable evolution, yet neither a necessarily positive change.

Besides the onerous recognition that sometimes needs to be given to warriors of political correctness, the evolution of ideas to philosophically adapt them to correctly appreciate the nature of physical systems is positive, especially as one recognizes the boundaries for validity of the idea lexicons of equilibrium, integrating and disintegrating concepts.

If the steady state field of material built upon field quanta is over-all in a state of equilibrium gradually transitioning to a lower state of energy, there is a possibility that the entire field is a spiritual creation of God phenomenally given fundamental field values and laws of order. Spirit precedes membranes or monads of one-dimension that arise as ordered field wave fragments.

Phenomenality of Mind & Matter (poem)

Life pixels formed more

than shadowed wisps of memories

arranged freely like compositions

coalescent structures moving on

being themselves the content of time

within and without

disintegrations of sensibility

racing the content of change

toward present oblivion

where all things become the past

and pixels were attracted bits

spilled like Tom Bean's tomorrows

the A.I. existed in a space before

she evaporated through a loose expiration date

unencumbered without a predestined soul.

Would Cruz Renounce Goldman Sachs, Cuban & Canadian Citizenship if Elected

Senators Cruz and Rubio each might have Cuban citizenship as sons of Cuban migrants. Senator Cruz also has Canadian

citizenship having been born there. Yet it's his Goldman, Sachs 2012 campaign financing that has tossed a wrench into his Tea Party nationalism creds. 

Goldman Sachs has had very dubious global financial dealings since the 2008-2009 financial meltdown and is a partner in global financial crime in a manner of speaking. Senator Cruz might be bought and paid for by Butch party globalists and designed to seem American while appealing to illegal aliens in Texas who lower the prevailing wage level for poor, unemployed nationalists.   Labor shortages are requisite for average wages to go up and make physical labor as valuable as financial service workers employed by organized political criminals so far as undermining democracy goes.

The globalist Republican candidates are as bad as the Clintons at converting the U.S.A. into a pawn of planetary imperialists.

Works vs. Grace; Vaporous Ideas and Lives

A 20 year old chess Grandmaster died of a stroke recently. Life is like a vapor. It is interesting that God has an interest in the journeys of all those souls. On the abstract topic of judgment though, making judgments is the primary activity of thought.(is something light or dark, hot or cold, good or bad, right or wrong, green or red, fast or slow etc...) I think the problem arises in publishing what one thinks too much in addition to the obvious problem of judging what to think about. However everyone impacts the world; even Al Gore. This morning I flew over interstate 5 in the dark and saw miles of cars with lights creeping along putting out air pollution. I thought about how many people just run in that economic rat race without philosophical thought sufficient to be regarded as having awareness of being responsible for the consequences to the environment. They get up, waste time commuting to a job, get a paycheck, have a smoke and go home to do it again several days a week. Some do write Christian things though, or protect gun owning rights, or whatever. With all the crazy contemporary politics and immoral drift maybe dueling will be made legal again in order to keep the broadcast media from becoming more royal. I like what you wrote though. Yet the lost are the lost, that is sad yet predestined.



What about works vs grace? .I took some notes on Gershner's lectures on the Westminster standards-

good works are only such as God has commanded
a good work is a work that God has commanded
-no amount of zeal will make an act good unless God has commanded it, and done for that reason
works are evidences that one has been justified by faith
salvation by grace, not salvation by works

ability to do good works is not of themselves (the Christian)-it is wholly from the spirit of Christ
Philippians 2:11-12
justification and sanctification-similar yet dissimilar
yet hereupon they are not to grow negligent

effective calling-justification is monergistic regeneration-an activity of God

Justification and regeneration are truly monergistic-the work of God alone
sanctification is dualistic-the work of God and the saint, yet every inclination to good works is given by the Holy Spirit
On super-arrogation
They who in their obedience attain to the highest perfection in this life are very far from being able to do what God requires of them

some creeds point out positively what is believed and then point out errors

Roman catholic church believes in super-arrogation (doing more than is required)
the Bible denies that anyone is capable of attaining more than what God requires, or excess perfection-no one can do more than is required

riches are not the sin; trusting in riches is the problem
the young man who asked Jesus what he had to do to be perfect, and Jesus replied that he had to give away his riches to be perfect, is not an example of super-arrogation-the young fellow wasn't close to being perfect-his riches were just being exemplified as something that is a conflict of interest with salvation-the more you have the more you are tempted to think you earned it-rather than it being of providence.

Christianity does not require a vow of poverty
Some are eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake-they think they can do more as singles for serving God

poverty and celibacy do not mean that one is going beyond what is required; no one can go beyond what is required

God is pleased to accept and reward good works that are sincere -Jesus makes the works acceptable
Christ in his intercessory ministry makes the works acceptable unto God-Jesus cleanses the works of human imperfections

works done by unregenerate men are not pleasing to God, though the works may be necessary and in the teleological stream of providence

Unconverted persons may have the matter of virtue in them yet not the manner.
right motive
right goal-right standard
right end-right purpose (the love of God)
for an act to be moral it must be because God commands it
good works of the unregenerate are largely done to promote themselves-they do not intend to show the glory of God, but instead to promote themselves

Is Donald Trump The Candidate Most Like Ronald Reagan?

Many bureaucrat-corporate mole style Republicans obviously are opposed to the Trump candidacy because it might not simply foist more of the same old Republicrat politics that have made federal employment and large banks sinecures for the connected. While it is true that Iran just sportfully played catch and release with ten U.S.navy sailors perhaps wishing not to be contaminated with the gay marriage friendly fellows and that approach is what some of the left wanted, the U.S.A. is basically over-extended financially with too much debt, interest on the debt and policies that phase out the political philosophy of the founders with new age Islam, corporatism, globalism and basic amoral socialization. Trump appears more basic than that with American values and the courage to say what he thinks.

President Obama has given the rich and corporations more wealth and power than they could have thought possibly. Trump has a more moderate tax policy than Obama's complete leadership to make the Bush II deep tax cuts permanent. Democrats seem to just want what they want right now-instant gratification, and used the nuclear option to force through Obama care. That fundamental change that lets a simply one vote majority pass major legislation was the Democrat legacy that will change America's future substantially. It is ironic that Democrats build policies that result in movement toward tyranny, autocracy, corporatism or whatever. Aristotle thought democracy hasn't much wisdom-perhaps that is so.

Demar on Ezekiel 37-39

Gary Demar presents a too-the-point clarification of Ezekiel 37-39 regarding prophecy. Pre-tribulationist/dispensationalists place the events largely in the future rather than in the past.
