hath
everlasting life.
48
I am that bread of life.
49
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are
dead.
50
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven,
that
a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51
I am the living bread which came down from heaven:
if
any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the
bread
that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the
life
of the world.
52
The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying,
How
can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you,
Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink
his
blood, ye have no life in you.
54
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath
eternal
life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55
For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink
indeed.
56
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood,
dwelleth
in me, and I in him.
57
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the
Father:
so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58
This is that bread which came down from heaven:
not
as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that
eateth
of this bread shall live for ever.
59
These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught
in
Capernaum.
60
Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard
this,
said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?”
Matthew chapter 26 : 26Ӧ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and
blessed
it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and
said,
Take, eat; this is my body.
27
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to
them,
saying, Drink ye all of it;
28
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is
shed
for many for the remission of sins.
29
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this
fruit
of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with
you in my Father's kingdom.”

New Names for Old Forts, etc.
Some politicians seek to appease rioters by renaming U.S. Army Forts after the race that rioted most recently. Ft. Hood was named for the one-armed Confederate General who lost the battle of Atlanta and fled toward Charleston, S.C. with Sherman in hot pursuit. Hood was a tough guy though not a professional soldier at all- he had replaced the ineffective General Bragg who was relieved from those concluding defensive battles on the S.W. front. I have a few suggestions for more suitable names for those two forts.
The
preferred alternative for Ft. Hood is Ft. Benavidez. The S.W. is becoming
largely Hispanic and naming a fort for the excellent soldier awarded a medal of
honor would be inspirational for many enlistees who would admire the former Green
Beret with one of the more glorious records that is second to none. There are
more possibilities for the tanker base such as Ft. George Patton, Ft.
Crazy-Horse, Ft. Taxes and Fort Tubman.
Renaming
a fort is tough business. It is like making a choice of running mate that
former Vice President Joe Biden is facing. So let’s consider Ft. Bragg’s
possible new names carefully.
Ft.
Eisenhower works best in my opinion. Honorable mentions go to Ft. Bobby
Fischer, Ft. Bowie, Ft. Fitness, Fort Armstrong and Fort Pac-man.
Keeping
U.S. military facilities named for those white men of the confederacy defending
human slavery is bad P.R. for white men. As a minority on the planet white men
don’t need to shoot themselves in the foot voter speaking, associating
themselves with symbols of oppression and inhumanity.
If
white men are to have a good place in the future national and world societies
amid a majority of non-whites on Earth they need to be the best examples
themselves of the philosophy of the founders. That is, equal justice, equal
rights, an egalitarian distribution of wealth, freedom from tyranny and today,
a recovering world ecosphere should to be regarded by the people of the world
as good works of white American men that benefit everyone. Strong national
border security for a secure electorate can only exist with strong popular
support from all of a nation’s citizens that recognize their own valuable
personal interests and those of the ecosphere being reinforced by a stable
population with secure borders.
If
white men choose to be known as slick capitalist oppressors without true
allegiance to national borders and ideals or respect for the citizens of the
nation so much as viewing them as utilitarian objects for exploitable labor it
is likely their interests will decline amid a restive populous. Since 10% of
Americans will soon own 90% of the national income white men of the 90% would
be rather daft chumps as well. White men instead should be known for
personifying the best democrat ideals of all human beings (that does not mean
the most libertine or decadent). While
all men and women should have the ideals of the founders in their hearts
regardless of race, it is evident that the retardant failure of an advantaged
class of white men with regressive social views are particularly harmful to
their own race that aren’t in the 10% or 1%.
Changing
the names of a couple of forts given confederate labels that have outlived
their usefulness should be a trivial matter for President Trump. Democrat party
opposition will attack the President with vague demands of allegiance on voters
for support of marginally productive policies the President disdains such as
environmentalism. President Trump doesn’t want to alienate select southern
voters, yet the number of confederate racist cranks are far fewer than
independents that support equal justice across the south.

Actual Facts about Police Killings vs. Arrests in U.S.A.
There is a lot of loose talk and virtually urban myth about police killings in America. One often hears that two and a half times as many blacks are killed as whites, and twice as many Hispanics as whites in support of the idea that the cause is racism. There is more to it than that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww5GXbk58R0 Bad Company
1)
Blacks
have a much higher birth rate than white and many more youth
2)
The
most common age of whites is 58, of blacks 27 and of Hispanics 11.
If 50-60 something whites begin hanging out on street corners to form criminal gangs increasing muggings and drug trafficking it is certain that they will experience more adverse contact with police.
Incidentally there has been more than 60 million abortions in the U.S.A. since Roe v. Wade and most of those babies were white, though blacks were a close second; 49% for whites, 40% for blacks. As a minority blacks have a higher percentage of abortions these days. I would guess that is because whites have already achieved zpg and use more contraception.

Anthem Anathemas, Riots, Ethics and Economics

Millionaires of pro sports taking a

Lebron James, nearing retirement, chastises Drew Breeze for Patriotism
There is nothing shameful about being a member of a social group that was bred for athleticism, if that is what occurred. People have bred dogs for millennia and slavers may have wanted strong workers rather than 100 lb weakling, short intellectuals that might be smarter than the slave owners. Some athletes have participated in their own way breeding with 60,000 women for example, individually (Wilt Chamberlain) passing on athletic genes and height. Millions of young black men descended from humans bred for size and strength once upon a time in an era without many industrial jobs requiring athleticism may find social employment adaptation more challenging than comparatively, women at desk jobs have. The summer rioting season of blacks is becoming a usual event whenever even a single criminal activity by law enforcement people trying to arrest a black male occurs.
It seems that an industry of ambulance chasers exists promoting racism whenever a black is caught on video being victimized in such a way that an obvious gross violation of civil rights occurred. Rioting and mass protests that effect business and provide new criminal records for law-breakers aren’t the way to address the problem. As the sometimes ineffective and inaccurate Southern Poverty Law Center has done for decades tracking groups that violate civil rights in an organized way (aka hate groups), there should be some plainly recognized on-line organization coordinating evidence of gross violation of the civil rights of Americans regardless of race; race should be a statistically compiled analytical finding the organization could provide. Plain legal responses by a sober organization is a much better way to bring about corrections to the Universe of law enforcement existing in thousands of departments with varying degrees of autonomy across the nation than ad hoc rioting and anti-American, anti-patriotic tweets by disgruntled aging athletes trying to seem relevant when they are not winning championships because they haven't invented a vaccine that would let them play safely without infecting others.
Culture matters concerning employment. An intellectual culture generates an increasing percent of national income while athletic laborers aren't. Human health and amateur athletics are great things provided everyone also is maximizing their intellectual development at the same time. With 9 billion people on a planet with a carrying capacity for two billion a lot of brain work and invention will be required to keep wild animals alive in a healthy ecosphere and human animals too.
Consider the human tradition of destroying the ecosphere whenever they build a new structure; that has to stop. It is a natural process that with so many billions participating in a thoughtless way endanger all life on Earth. A one-story building destroys as much ecosphere as a 100 story building on the ground. make structure resemble mountain ranges maybe and have ecosphere on the exterior? Sterile cities and vanishing ecosphere need new social thought and regulation that riots about race won't fix. James should at least invest time in ecospheric conservation; maybe join the Sierra club, as he does in attacking white quarterbacks holding the NFL career passing record.

Black Democrats Riot Across Nation Opening Prime Biden Campaign
Of note this
month as Summer Solstice draws near is the rise of seasonal rioting in many
American cities by mostly black Democratic voters. A white policeman apparently
murdered a black man by kneeling on his throat for seven minutes that stopped
the victim from breathing. Someone filmed the incident and riots immediately
began with looting and burning in lieu of equal protection of the law. In this
era of ubiquitous cameras and social media uploads the need for riots to serve
instead of regular legal procedures isn’t too credible. In the U.S.A. each year
about 250 black men are killed by policemen and about 50 policemen are killed-
almost all of them are white. In a nation of 320 million citizens and a zillion
gangs those numbers are not so high.
A little more than 2.5 million Americans own
more than 35% of the U.S.A.’s wealth so go ahead and blame policemen and white
people generally for keeping ‘Black
America down’; it was President Obama that twisted Congress’s arm to make
the vast Bush tax cuts permanent accelerating the concentration of wealth. Policemen aren’t economists- they are just
people trying to keep the peace amidst tens of millions of poor Americans
living collectively with less than 1% of the nation’s wealth many of whom are
white people, fighting for scraps from the tables of the rich. Only Senator
Bernie Sanders voted against the tax cuts- about every Democrat Primary
Presidential candidate ganged up against Sanders and endorsed Joe Biden to
prevent any chance of anyone being elected that would work to make America more
financially egalitarian. Ninety five
percent of blacks voted for Obama; who is more racist than that?
Criminal
events such as murders are not soon going to be entirely stopped, thus a mad
rush to riot when a single crime occurs without any particular change in the
law as an object for protesting or looting, burning and rioting is not easily
justifiable. Unfortunately social media can generate emotions that can cause
mass social irrational choices such as rioting to be made. Crimes occur in
every occupation of society including law. If a policeman commits a crime that
is recorded for social media that cannot be a justification for retribution with
several million crimes through rioting.
The riots
caused many to be arrested and harmed their employment prospects needlessly in
the future after the economy starts to recover from Covid 19 recession. Also
noteworthy is the fact that the failure of social distancing by rioters will
perhaps cause hundreds of blacks to lose their lives to Covid 19. Former
rioters aren’t likely to cooperate with contact-tracing work either.
There is an
American tradition of public demonstrations and protest marches with deep roots
i.e. the Army Vet Bonus demonstrations in D.C., those led by Dr. King and anti
Vietnam War rallies. Demonstrations that are effective have actual legal or
political measures they want specifically changed. Politicians in the U.S.A.
aren’t inevitably the brightest bulbs and have a need to know what legislation
protestors actually want done if they are to work to that end; it is not enough
to say that ‘the system’ is at fault and trust that some ethereal insights will
appear to politicians whom will then fix it. If the protests are about
economics then particular economic remedies need be advanced if change or
reform is to occur.
The United
States isn’t a dictatorship that can have a single individual change everything
the way he wants- or if she is a benevolent dictator (an oxymoron usually)
adapt the economy to conform to the wishes of protestors. With 50 states
governments and a federal government that made permanent tax cuts to low levels
during the Obama era with a Democrat-controlled congress the ability to reshape
the national economy is very difficult. Protestors that want to change the
economy should have an idea of what and how they want economics or political
economy to change and let the public know instead of breaking out unintelligent
tantrum-rioting.
Many
Americans besides black Democrat rioter-voters would like the economy to change
too. Realistically they don’t even know what they want to change in the
economic structure or if the change would get them what they want. Bringing
private business to riot prone, poor black urban communities might not be
simple; it isn’t like getting the government to open new free bread and fruit
smoothie storefronts or provide free rent in new free public housing projects.
It is
possible that business likes peaceful stable neighborhoods more than those with
rampant crime, dope, whoring and poverty and homeless people living in tents
defecating on sidewalks. Police too may shy away from abusing prosperous
citizens able to afford personal witness on-line storage body cams and good
lawyers for lawsuits, especially if the prosperous don’t have illegal guns,
don’t work human smuggling, smuggle drugs or coordinate community organized
crime ventures. Police also have more trouble arresting white color criminals
or broadcasters violating human rights-they aren’t legal theorists- than
simple, plain vanilla or chocolate burglars, muggers and other simple material
felons easy to spot.
A move toward
ecological economics would be good, and that could have a guaranteed minimum
income, free tuition through graduate school and a free walk-in national health
service for the poor. Capitalism could be reformed so no-one could invest in
more than three corporations at a time or have more than 300 times the income
of an average worker. If human life productivity efficiency is to be maximized
everyone needs adequate capital and good health to not fall into deep, dark
whirlpools and undertows of social economic evils the comfortable and aloof are
often unaware of (including well-off technicians that fawn over the ideals of
the rich).
Rioters of
average or below average intellect with little to do with their lives that
could be regarded hopefully or productively encounter average policemen that
interact all day with criminals that are controlled by politicians of average
intellect without a lot of good ideas for reforming capitalism or to ecological
economics. Expecting miracles in economics from uncomprehending average people
without the ability to reform global corporate power and the concentration of
wealth in 1% of national citizens is daft. Electing neo-liberals would produce
more rich neo-liberal politicians that would probably not do much for poor
Democrat rioters to make meaningful economic reform inclusive of ecological
sustainability and a healthy wilderness portions of flora and fauna. Wealth is
built up slowly, annually; rioting is the antinomy of that. One of the greatest
economic injuries the poor can experience is simply termination of work and
discontinuity in the process of slowly building up their own capital. With the
recent covid 19 problems perhaps millions of people may experience home
mortgage problems as they did a little more than a decade ago during the
housing crisis. It seems that every decade or so some crisis appears that trims
home buyers to subvert their slow acquisition of capital. It is the one
percenters that profit from national crisis well as Wall Street in regard to
political power- racism misses the point entirely when so many white people
live paycheck to paycheck themselves.
The economy
in the U.S.A. today is quite complex, and millions of people of all races
experience a log-rolling contest of trying to stay meaningfully employed.
Balzac’s published a book in 1835 named Pere’
Goriot concerning the issue of inherited capital versus labor as a better
way of building wealth. Balzac found that the advantages of inherited wealth
were so great that the work of labor was comparatively inefficient. The U.S.A.
today concentrates wealth because of the shape of the economy that accentuated
consumerism rather than saving, and illegal immigration laborers to help expand
the economy and increase of capital. I wonder if black rioters have a clue
about the way economics work or of the relationships between capital, labor,
national income and ecological health.
Black culture
in the United States has a much higher birth rate than that of the white
population that is about zero population growth. There usually is a higher
savings rate when demographic growth is stable. Disparities between different
cultures and the sort of economic activity they pursue are interwoven with
demographic and cultural facts, labor supply and demand and the kind of quality
growth versus quantity growth economics that benefit from intellectual versus
physical labor. Stable societies have better situations for educating fewer
children than rapidly growing and poorer cultures. It is ironic that black
democrats support illegal alien immigration that directly soaks up wages and
work opportunities for physical labor such as were more common for American men
in the 1950s.
I think there
is no simple remedy for the challenges facing American black societies yet I am
fairly sure that rioting exacerbates the problems as does racism. If blacks
have good scientific education and support good scholarship values then they
likely would find more work opportunities with the global corporations that
employ so much of the work force today. If there were 10 million Americans of
the 320 million citizens who actually make or invent new materials for
qualitative improvements to the economy isn’t it better to be one of the ten
million rather than one of the rest that fabricate or distributes product,
finance or serve the people using new material product? A culture that
reinforces qualitative materials science and quiet scholarship, even at home or
independently, is of greater social merit concerning economics than those
experiencing social instability and chaos socially.

U.S. Lacks Enough Good Ideas for Safe Return to Work
Three Piece Philosophy (video)
Sometimes people wonder about philosophy and regard it as a confusing jumble of vague ideas. I view philosophy differently than that. Actually I have a very simple view of philosophy.
Academically speaking philosophy has many divisions and areas of formal inquiry i.e. ethics, politics, metaphysics, social, cosmology, ontology, logic etc. For myself, concerning cosmology and the phenomenon of being, I have distilled a three-piece philosophical outlook.
https://youtu.be/UkNB_X7wsW4
Like the historical accumulation of science, philosophy as a body of academic material has accumulated over millennia. Reading primary philosophical texts developed over the past 2500 years or so and is therefore something of a venture in reading history. Explaining to others what Plato’s ideas were or how Plotinus used Plato’s ideas concerning a realm of forms in his Enneads (54 treatises) can be quite challenging outside the context of a course in ancient philosophy.
The ideas of ancient philosophers quite often built upon the work of their predecessors and that process continued to the present. Modern symbolic logic has its origins in the classical logic formalized by Aristotle. Learning the history of philosophy is something of an historical reading program that has a lot of abstract ideas in it rather than descriptions of battles, dynasties and social events one finds in general histories of civilization.
Philosophy as an historical body of work has a certain inert status to it. There is more to philosophy than that, for one may sort through the ideas and evaluate them as one learns and eventually classify some ideas as remaining useful and others as being more of archival value. Modern philosophy tends to be live and valid moreso than the old, yet that is just a general paradigm rather than a comprehensive one. Some of the ancient ideas remain valid and may be infused with new ideas arising from philosophers and even physicists. Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason continues to be a valid thesis regarding the ties between perception, cognition and reason although contemporary quantum field theory and neurology explain matters somewhat better.
At the end of much reading of philosophy over the years one tends to develop their own outlook on things that could be regarded as a philosophical viewpoint. Though learning the history of philosophy may be time consuming and complex especially when comparing the ideas of one philosopher with others, the result of the personal evaluation of systems and addition of additional concepts from other sources can result in a very simple view. My point of view on matters of philosophy is quite simple these days.
I have two live philosophical interests in addition to one besides the history of philosophy and its content that may be viewed as a kind of large scale scaffolding that allows one to assemble their own Mt. Rushmore of most valuable thought. My two ideas are Christian faith and the convertibility of matter and energy. Those two ideas are easy to say. Each of course has great depth conceptually if one is interested in pursuing them farther.
Recently I read a book named ‘Mass’ published I believe, in 2017. It is a great book describing what mass is. The world and universe of solid objects is regarded as being made of ‘mass’, yet it is actually energy in a different form, and mass is a secondary quality of energy. The author pointed out that in Einstein’s 1905 paper on relativity he actually used the formula M=E/c2 rather than E=M/c2. The Universe as pure energy is quite a mysterious topic. Mass is actually an appearance of energy, yet isn’t energy also a secondary quality of something else unknown? The Higgs field is thought to slow subatomic particle from light speed enough to allow them to have a third dimension instead of two dimensions flattened at relativistic velocity at c. Even two dimensional particles are energy; quantum field theory advances may have much more to learn about energy for-itself and its relationship to time and space.
The enigmatic and mysterious nature of pure energy in regard to matter, space-time and being is an example of how old philosophies can be tied in to new. The neo-Platonist philosopher Plotinus was considered by the early church to be pagan because he believed he could directly experience God in a mystical transcendence of matter that was named heyschasm. It is as if he could experience pure energy rather than matter and form as a kind of stream of pure good or God. Plotinus had other ideas. He wrote of his idea of Plato’s realm of forms in relation to God, whom he called ‘The One’.
To make a long story short I will skip to the realm of forms idea of Plato’s. He thought that some kind of abstract realm of forms existed from which everything that is in the material world is a copy. I would guess it is comparable to the Swiss patent office when Einstein worked there as a patent clerk having a copy of everything that was manufactured under patent in Europe in his day, except the realm of forms is more metaphysical and may exist in the mind of God. Plotinus thought the One emanated all that is from his perfect, omniscient, omnipotent being and the Intelligence presided over the realm of forms and selected what things would be made in the material world of mass and solid objects in which humans exist too.
The realm of forms could be compared to the quantum world in which all energy appears to become mass in certain forms from gluons to quarks, protons and neutrons to antiparticles and so on. If something exists it will need to be in a pre-fab form and built up from some of the 100+ elements of the periodic table according to certain physical behavioral forms. That is somewhat remarkable.
My other idea of philosophical merit is Christian faith. Christian faith occurs subjectively, phenomenally and existentially. Søren Kierkegaard is regarded as the first existentialist philosopher for good reason; he viewed Christian faith and practice as personal and apart from social structures and values; phenomenally rather than socially. Kierkegaard was himself something of a social iconoclast. Like so many German 19th century romantic philosophers that considered society somewhat mundane and inferior with people following conventions as if they were drone ants following meat trails, Kierkegaard also viewed too much of society as following spiritually dead roles through life acting in what Socrates considered to be unexamined lives; that is they were philosophically dead and for Kierkegaard perhaps, spiritually dead.
Christian faith and being occur in a world that is phenomenal. Solid objects seem solid because people are made of atomic elements that are bound in physical laws to experience particle compositions in pre-formed ways. Evolution occurs in forms that are constant though from certain perspectives and levels, changing.
There is no evidence against the existence of God anyplace in nature; ask an evolutionary biologist to show a particular physical form or material that does so and one will see vacuity of intelligent response. The best an atheist scientist could do would be to leave science altogether and act as an incompetent anti-theologian bungling some malfeasant hermeneutics or misinterpretation of Bible scripture. Even theologians are in disagreement about interpreting the beginning and end of the Universe in Biblical hermeneutics (interpretations) as some as pre-millennialist, some post-millenialists and others amillennialists, for example.
Christian phenomenology and Christianity existentially are nothing more than descriptions of a posture of Christians to the experience of life, matter and energy for those that care to consider it. Reconciling scripture with science is something that some try to do- even I have published a couple of books with my thoughts on the subject, in the Bible itself though God is recorded by history as having mentioned that what is wisdom to man is foolishness to God. Such wisdom and foolishness may include the idea of constructing cosmology about mass when energy is generic and incomprehensible for-others, as a kind of mystery that mass and human thought cannot really comprehend as secondary characteristic of energy. Time and history including natural history may occur though one knows that relativity and time, being and nothingness are phenomenal themselves with a relative duration perhaps of 13.5 billion years seems vast in one sense, from certain perspectives and might be as nothing at all from other viewpoints, or even from God’s if one could understand that.
Pro and con hermeneutics from theologians and anti-theologian scientists are interesting yet really not so much from a philosophical point of view, in the context of the history of philosophy as the third element of my own regard for the main stuff of philosophy. Simple material with M=E/c2 and Christian faith occurring phenomenally amidst much temporal and unknown physics. Augustine was himself a student of Plotinus and neo-Platonism before he became Christian. He was always looking in the right direction. What is, is. Whatever the primary quality of energy in-itself is, it seems capricious to differentiate it into categories called Universes (U1…U∞) when there is a continuum of the primary quality albeit with ample nothingness thrown in.
