An Organization's Charter is Its Dogma or Purpose

 Dogma virtually is organizational structure. It is accepted 'truth', policy and purpose. Cadre are programmed politically and act upon the policy without thinking. It happens in government a lot. There is serial and ossified praxis and organizational purpose- aka 'dogma', is also praxis. One has the dogma of Wal-mart if employed by them, or of the Democrat Party, Communist or Anarchist parties with their agenda. If working for an oil corporation one may be an unbeliever in global warming. If a Nazi one is a holocaust denier etc. Even secret organizations have dogma; the Illuminati, Bohemian Club, Skull and Bones and the Cult of Bullwinkle at the Moose Lodge.

Is dogma the cause of conflict? Sartre might have associated dogma with ossified praxis. That is the implicit nature of social organization; structure entails operating form and parameters. Saddam Hussein was a tyrant like Hobbes' leviathan. Hard to remove yet he needed to be gone. The Iraq war was deplorable in several respects. GW Bush said reconstruction would cost 50 billion and the actual cost was trillions. Radical Muslims and werewolves made the war after the war go on for years. 50,000 Iraqis were perishing under UN sanctions before the war and that needed to end. So it was either war or let Hussein go Scot free.

A sociology 101 course reveals some of the structural differences in social organization; for instance, the differences between patriarchal and matriarchal societies. Even so the concentration of wealth renders democracy somewhat moot, as plutonomy develops. Meanwhile mass media manipulates masses for the benefit of the rich, while national religious extremism in underdeveloped societies is a form of populism that rivals political power of elites. Palestine tends toward a patriarchy under organized crime more so than national democracy. The world is far more f'd up than is commonly realized, and Joe Biden does not remember being Vice President according to Special Counsel Hur.

President Biden Doesn't Remember 2009-2017 VP days

 Special Council Robert Hur appointed by Merrick Garland interviewed the President for five hours and determined that the President can't remember when he was Vice President between 2009 and 2017. Probably he doesn't remember campaign promises either.

Dirt at the End of the Rainbow (a poem)

 

Dirt drifts in the wind
piling up like like poems
waiting for rain
to become glorious mud

Mud in your eye
the jealous eye of the beholder
resting in splendid repose
an eyestalk tall
extruding meters from the ground
where AI may see all that can be

Myriad creatures scurry and worry
fretfully finding crumbs
adequate for never-when
never known
particles of dust
in the wind to begin

Clinging to wheels mud is the deal
it shapes mysterious norms
conforms all blings to ring tone echoes
raps that whir
howling through sagebrush
cowboy poetry ranched
punching cattle

Greenest tiny growth
grass emotes
everyplace like an ocean
rearranging tan, sallow yellow bricks of colors
closest things to freeze dried dead
past punchers placed patterns
breaking trails for electronic fences
mending meaningless dividers for gold coins

To spend or not to spend
that is the question
weather it is colder hailing
or enduring outrageous rain
dirt doth show the snow
the way to flow
with freezes past
left to the summits of myths

Clods of time compacting past
warm flatness of high desert plains
with mountains able lost tectonic orogeny
well rounded to host remorseless dirt
electrostatic strong force brethren
coating fields with fixed sentient things
pretending rhymes with reasons
presence need be and become
tomorrow
with the will to outlast lush
verdant urges that overcomes senses
wherein politics rush
social piles of bones built
Nemissoolatakoos
overcome by the great spirit’s rivers
-Heraclitus never stepping in the same Universe
twice.

The Final Boss (poem)

The final boss
goat poet prospects grazing
the field of dreams where raising
with dross sludge of poems befudged
are myriad cantilevered verses breathing
with life given from amateur hopes
beside Browning, Yeats, Keats and Pope

  One final toss
a shimmering sonnet
the dark lady’s legs
below the mysterious bonnet
Wallace Steven’s insurance
provides countless sharp notes
to Wesli Court’s forerunning peer
the final boss;
William Shakespeare.

Border Bill-Send Ukraine a Lump of Coal and Build a Desalinating Border Security Canal on Mexican Border

 It will be nearly impossible to pass a border security bill with Democrats involved. Primarily they seek to fund the Biden-Ukraine war, enhance homosexual political power and grease the ways for millions of illegal aliens to enter the nation. Republicans seek to build a wall that is easy to breach instead of a fresh water making desalinating canal security zone to condense evaporating saltwater to capture billions and billions of gallons of fresh water and fail to condemn the senseless Ukraine war enabled by President Biden's balls in a blind Ukrainian trust organized crime account that requires unlimited funding instead of sharing with Russia.

 Israel should receive all of Ukraine's war reinforcement portion and Ukraine should get the lump of coal; Israel can handle the dangerous equipment responsibly and not use it to harm U.S. interests.

Dictum de Gödel (poem)

Would a dictum de omni for Gödel's paradigm
fill a set of all sets with doubts laid to rest?
satisfy a build up with many theories and means
parameters for testing material scenes
like 256 forms of syllogistic A, I, E, O dreams
where just twenty-four valid ones form proper tests
and reply with lyre's ballad rhymed lyrics
everything in the cosmos proves to critics
whirring levels of black-bird spun trees
chastise silence to spring quantum string mystics.

Another Three Guys Joke

 Three guys rob a bank in Washington D.C. one at a time (they are Democrats). The first guy was from South Sudan. He pointed a gun at the teller and said' "Give me all your lunches."

The second guy walked in- a twelve year old hacker with an addiction and said; "Give me all your bitcoin".

The third guy, a Chinese dude, walked in to the bank, pointed a gun at the teller and said; "Give me all your I.O.U.s".

Paradigms of Generative A.I. in Creative Design

 Generative A.I, - A.I. systems intended to generate things on the basis of large learning models, are said to be a disruptive technology. I am not sure that people realize how much so. I took a look at a street in a small town; the cars parked the electrical fixtures, the homes and commercial buildings etc. and in a way it was like viewing a scene from an old movie. I had the feeling that everything would change in not such a great amount of time.

Of course being an optimist over time I was disappointed at the rate of change of the nation. There were a lot of changes since the 1970s yet they were generally logical anticipated rather than things that were improved through public design of public lands and resources or federal programs. Generative A.I. may become a large factor in finding optimal or most efficient designs of things in physics, transportation etc. Given sufficient learning should generative A.I. be able to invent the most efficient electric car design with awareness of the costs of available natural resources? Shouldn't it be able to design materials for repaving streets so they can absorb and convert solar photons to electrons and provide free public electricity for electric automobiles.

Black generative AI- those covert systems with governors or censors built in, may be able to design biological and chemical weapons for everyone or even improved explosive designs. Apparently generative A.I. is a two-edged razor that society must use carefully lest it cut itself.

Göbekli Tepe was in a way the first permanent settlement of humanity that remains in existence. Built around the year 11,000 B.C... It was a religious center and development of grain for agriculture advanced in the area. Religion drew humanity together and they built fine structures to support that. A city that was more secular started in Jericho just a little later, although it too dates to nearly 11,000 B.C. Technology advanced slowly.

Compared to the great length of time before the creation of permanent human cities when hunting tools were the main tech for hunter-gatherers the time of the Neolithic and its development of modest building methods (such as one of the first towers at Jericho) was fast. When the age of Neolithic B ended around 6000 B.C. there followed a period of nearly 2500 years of decline and waste at Jericho. It is not impossible in human history for civilization or settlements to experience decline or destruction.

Many citizens don't believe that caution or good judgment is necessary for political choices to be made. Many today are fatalists, reflect on joss or various eschatological scenarios in places of pessimism, or worship centers and in reading fiction. It is possible to wonder who is minding the store. Even more people are global warming deniers or would take up the cross again as soon as they are done fighting for water rights. Atheists believing in nothing would have visions of a utopia for homosexuals and democrats of all varieties under kosher scientific supervision, loosely defined, as an application of Magna Carta with political power given unto parliament without need for a written constitution binding leaders to the past as if they were Gullivers ensnared.

Generative AI may change that criterion. Hayek believed that public lands and investment was a socialist-communist kind of things in support of totalitarianism. He wanted to let private enterprise own and run about everything with the belief that it would find the optimal configuration of business and perhaps even political configurations. During the Cold War version 1 people tended to go overboard and fail to understand that the empirical world; the environment, is the common heritage of mankind and it cannot readily be privatized without peril to the future of human life on this planet so far from anywhere else livable. 

Perhaps generative A.I. applied to inventing, physics, chemistry and biological technology will be insinuated into the midst of a recovering ecosphere. A.I. might even help find environmental solutions,  sustainable development paradigms or optimal scenarios for desalinating seawater with evaporation canals covered for condensation collection A next-gen political economy should provide the basic physical sustenance needs of every soul alive while yet creating a renaissance of spiritual and intellectual values and creativity on this world and beyond.

AI at War- The Ukraine Experiment?

 Large language models are programing paradigms to train AI systems to resemble human speech and discourse. Joined with search algorithms it is a formidable tool permeating the contemporary Internet and society. I was interested in the development and use of large learning systems to find optimal use of military assets in war. I would guess that the Ukraine war presently being fought has heavy use of AI algorithms in all phases of allocating optimal placement of combat assets.

Of possibly more interest is the use of A.I. expert system in determining the optimal moment to attack an enemy from basic ground, land and sea assaults to chemical, nuclear and biological attacks. An AI system could best determine when the optimal moment is including millions of factors such as weather, state of readiness of combatants, possibility of retaliation and so on far exceeding a President's knowledge, or even that of military leaders. It is interesting to consider the delicate balance of mutually assured destruction and dueling in effect by AI systems in the near future.

Everyone loves AI- it will add trillions and trillions to deep pockets. In fact there is a profusion of course available even for free in learning A.I. After completing or nearly so a course on the 800 year old Magna Carta I started a brief course on Generative A.I.- Hence this post.

.575 Caliber (Haiku)

 

Gluons spin to light
massless tie-ins to the right
Africa's prime flight

  Quarks dreamt on the coast
so much to learn; time is toast
-being is not trite

  Gravity’s away
while life grows another day
the end not in sight.

Magna Carta- An Influence on Writing of U.S. Constitution?

 The Declaration of Independence of the United States and U.S. Constitution were inspired by God and the Christian belief in equality under the saving grace of God/Jesus Christ. The founders felt freedom was the natural condition of man. On a frontier it is challenging to find a reason why a royal wig-wearing, perfumed, silk-stockinged politician across an ocean had any relevance except as an obnoxious prick. San Morino- founded in 301 a.d. has had a written constitution since 1600. The DeWitt brothers in Holland were active them in briefly founding a Republic. Tacitus described German laws and ancient laws of Greece and Rome were well known by the founders of the American Republic; The United States of America. Codifying freedom in the abstract written form to make more permanent public awareness of political rights and duties is indeed very old. The founders were also aware of Magna Carta and perhaps less so the many subsequent commentaries inspired by it. They were aware of political philosophy from England, and drew on many sources to write a document expressing their practical rather than abstract desire to be free of imperial rule along the lines of 'all men are created equal'. That is; all mankind are on a level field without superior political right.

Hayek Was Not an Environmentalist

 Hayek wasn't an environmentalist. Perhaps for him a healthy ecosphere is an externality to private enterprise. A paucity of public land seems common enough in corrupt nations. Economics works best with regulated free enterprise that meets environmental rationality standards, yet basic human rights to physical security regarding necessaries is a responsibility of free people that may fail when wealth becomes concentrated too much for actual democracy to exist.

The Moral Chaos of Fallout from Magna Carta and British Education of Bill Clinton

 Since Bill Clinton brought Britain and the knighthood states to the country in 1992 the Democrat Party has evolved a hard turn to the left; the moral left with decadence, homosexuality, legal dope, and flooding the nation with illegal migrants in order to render it fit for empire. Bill Clinton attended Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar and was captured for the Queen to Use. England is a country without a written constitution, and the law of the nation is in the living hands of rulers in parliament. That makes the law more variable, informal and susceptible to change to accord with currents sentiments. It is not some kind of a rights of man paradigm. Neither is it a sort of 'we hold these truths to be self evident' situation. With British influence the laws of the United States as written in the constitution are becoming obsolete, as one historian commented, and evolving a replacement to something more malleable and subject to the direct will of the Democratic party and various global interests.

It is interesting moving through a course on Magna Carta. The United States constituted a government with something like a founding charter that had 500 years to improve over English ideas concerning political writes that could be written down. Magna Carta captured an agreement between king John and a group of Barons that were threatening to revolt. Because the King had weakened the nation with land battle losses in Europe and piled up much debt he was compelled to agree to certain rights for the Barons. It was not a document concerning ordinary people as if they were peers...they were not.

One of the main points is that the original Magna Carta became rather more symbolic than functional over time though it did inspire lots of books for political movements of liberalism (power to the people rather than royalty) and the Nobles' Parliament with a House of Lords and House of Commons descended from the original Magna Carta with the King losing most power over the centuries. It is the dynamic change of English ruling power that flows downward or outward from Parliament that is such a corrosive influence upon American democracy with quaint notions of constitutional law. Since Bill Clinton became President the Democrat Party has done everything to take absolute power as if they were in a Parliamentary circumstance rather than a constitutional democracy. They bend every law, every congressional restraint so far as possible because the written word is not nearly as important as the verbal and social ability to bend, break or disregard the written word if it's inconvenient to furthering their party's agenda.

In the meanwhile Republicans were mostly interested in just making money.

U.S. Media Propaganda Subverts U.S. Security

 Media propaganda concerning Russian leadership's desire to retake Alaska and negate the 1867 sale to the United States continues. Since the story originally was an invention of a Ukrainian affiliated with the government of Ukraine it is especially irritating. Russia is not seeking to open a two-front war with the west; Putin is not Hitler. Biden's prosecution of an unnecessary war instead of seeking peace is more like an Hitler action.

Using Alaska as a pawn in the Biden administration's war with Russia because it's unwilling to recognize and share Russian historical claims in Ukraine sucks. The administration and its media shills should leave Alaska out of the equation and tools it uses to throw accelerant on war globally.

If the hostility relations the Biden administration has built up with Russia advances to the nuclear level I would prefer that Alaska not be one of the targets as a result of Biden administration media mouthpieces build up a scenario with false narratives provided by Ukraine.

https://www.newsweek.com/putin-decree-triggers-ominous-alaska-calls-territory-empire-soviet-union-1862689

https://intellinews.com/zelenskiy-signs-decree-claiming-half-a-dozen-russian-regions-arehistorically-ukrainian-lands-308948/ quote from the article on the source of fake news follows...

"On the same day a social media post on X by the Ukrainian user Igor Sushko claimed that Putin declared the 1867 sale of Alaska was illegal: “Putin signed an order insinuating the sale of Alaska to the United States in 1867 was illegitimate. This mofo is trolling the West and our leaders shake in their boots in response."

The post included an apparent copy of the signed decree, however, it appears that the decree was faked and the claim is based on article published by essanews.com on January 21, 2024, with the title "Putin stokes tensions with the US, declares 1867 sale of Alaska 'illegal.'""

About Predestination

 It is difficult to imagine an omniscient God who foreknows all things (a priori) and is omnipotent, whom yet is partially in-the-blind about human affairs. How things might not be predetermined is a real mystery. Even with physical science I find it challenging to imagine a singularity that unfolded without the content being predetermined from conception.

A New Interpretation of The Allegory of the Cave

 The prisoners were grown in the dark like mushrooms and fed a lot of manure. They had never seem the surface of the Earth or the sun and were raised from birth in diapers chained to the wall. They were taken care of by cave gorillas that were blind yet caring. The gorillas however were Democrats that didn't understand forms, though they had seen the matrix in a braille version, and believed the shadows were lies told by Republicans and were just myths. As the children grew they began to admire the shadows and thought them free though dangerous forms of insurrection against normality of darkness the caring guerillas professed.

Kamala Harris and Nikki Haley in 2024 etc

 This is a strange election year. Kamala Harris and Nikki Haley running together might well defeat either Donald Trump or Joe Biden drawing Democrats and Republican females to the ballot box along with conscionable independents that just can't bring themselves to happily vote for Big Joe. It might be a year where spray on magnets hit the shelves.

Chinese leadership has called the Trump-Biden race a choice "between two bowls of poison". I was thinking the same thing, although I used the Charybdis and Scylla analogy myself.

Joe Biden's magic platform that is designed simply to get himself elected is in play again. It is certain that the environment will get worse along with national security if he is re-elected, while apparently Mr. Trump may be weak on defense of Taiwan because he believes the Taiwanese usurped American chip production. I am not certain that chip manufacturers could find a workforce willing to work for Taiwan's wage scale that is a little challenging to interpret.

A google search reveals the minimum wage in Taiwan to be $22,000 a year with a comparatively lower cost of living. If Mr. Trump supports capitalism, as has been alleged, one wonders if it isn't nearly possible for chip manufacturing to return to the U.S.A with competitive wages. $22,000 a year is $10.58 hourly. Not a lot of sober Americans want to work for that since Wal-mart prices and inflation have increased cost of living substantially during the Joe administration. Probably $15 an hour would be a living wage in some locations in the U.S.A. with lower cost housing. That would be 31,000 dollars annually- an obviously higher cost for labor than in Taiwan.

Europe's economy has fallen off for the second year as a result of the Biden administration of war for Ukraine with Russia dividing the world economy, calcifying the neural links in the east-west brain to the point of rupture with sanctions ossifying the flow of commerce. D.O.D. has started delivery of 100 mile HIMARS shells to Ukraine so a better prospects of attacking farther in to Russia with the chance of prompting tactical nuclear response increasing to brighten the year ahead.

Basically low taxes and concentration of wealth has made Presidential politics moribund with the likely necessary winner- Donald Trump being just slightly worse at Taiwan defense and a lot worse at environmental protection than president Biden who has a record of outsourcing U.S. political independence in order to make it more ineffective and non self-determining amid increasing ecospheric chaos and economic anomie.

Coach Belichicks to Seahawks for Interim Coach?

 Seahawks could hire Belichick for interim coach. No need to hurry. A two year contract would work while looking for a fashionable and politically proper gal to helm the ship.

The Seahawks have a chance to draft a quality quarterback at 15, and could take McCarthy or Penix. If they are gone they can draft the second best offensive interior lineman in the first round and a quality QB in the second. EZ breezy.

Belichick might be motivated to win a Superbowl with another team in the way Brady won with another team. No coach has ever won a Superbowl with two teams; the closest anyone has got was a win and a loss with two teams- Andy Reid and Dan Reeves.

Like the Seahawks were before hiring Coach Carrol-just drop in a QB and ready to roll, today's Hawks may be ready to roll with a new QB too.

Conflating Power with Information and Corruption

Acton's idea that absolute power corrupts absolutely need be unpacked, sorted out and understood well; far too many leaders are ignorant. Acton wrote in England- a society that had fought against absolutist monarchy since Magna Carta in 1215. It is likely that his comment was in reference to imperial power such as King John had.

Hindenburg bragged that he had only read one book in his entire life. Information exists in-the-world. It is how one processes information that will determine if a politician is competent, corrupt, inept or stupid. It is an amusing paradigm to note that the coefficient of information with corruption would be ignorance and stupidity with honesty.

 It is wrong to assume that a hierarchy exists politically such that the leader receives more information than someone at University A or B, or doing research on the Internet. It is the political power to act upon misunderstood or inadequate information for the wrong reasons that serves to accelerate political corruption. Maladroit education and training creates wicked political processing of data later. Some politicians are hell bent to accomplish a particular agenda a priori and are dismissive of information as externalities to their program. 

An individual may have copious information and be quite powerless.
