Concentrating Wealth for Development of Social Castes

 The United States initially developed as a classless society and one without much concentrated wealth. Of course there were plantation owners and capitalists with abundant and surplus capital including human slaves yet the Imperial aristocracy of class caste privilege had been overthrown by the revolution. Caste systems are de facto the basic ossification of social class stratification that develops through a variety of political systems. Christianity and communism each overthrows caste systems through different means. Plainly though Christianity and Communism have each experienced in different circumstances corruption of their ideal of classless society.

It is not the case that free enterprise and democracy preclude classless societies or at least those with a great deal of economic egalitarianism. As mentioned above the United States was founded by revolutionaries that generally were not too far apart in capital acquisition. Many revolutionaries were farmers with small land holdings, or free trappers, laborers, small businessmen, sailors and so forth. Today on the other hand, the United States has developed great concentration of wealth comparable to that of Mexico.

When the United States was far more economically egalitarian than today and wealth not so concentrated entrepreneurs had more access to developing and patenting ideas. Networked wealth did not have a finger in every pie nor the power to franchise business in every state of the union. Class systems develop; caste systems evolve when wealth becomes so concentrated as today.

India and China are interesting to compare. Each have thousands of years of caste systems in their history. There has been a difference between the economic development of the two nations the past eighty years or so. While each overthrew their imperial rulers (Britain and the Chinese Emperor), India kept its caste system intact except for the vanquished imperial class while China went through a communist revolution to try to attain a classless society.

In my opinion nations with caste systems necessarily become socially and economically repressive of a majority of the people. India’s economy developed far more slowly than that of China once the Communist government opened China to investment from the west. Presently China has the world’s largest economy in GDP though not in per capita income. India lags behind though it too has investment from the west. The primary reason is probably the caste system it has informally kept.

Caste systems repress intelligence and ability while promoting those that are positive reinforcement for the wealth of the upper castes. The historian Arnold Toynbee noted that a creative majority become a repressive minority clinging to power sometimes through military means. The challenge for a nominally free society like the United States is defend against over concentration of wealth to keep a semblance of social and economic egalitarianism intact. When every citizen has the opportunity to develop ideas that are environmentally sound or synergetic if they have them, or to patent ideas affordably a society its oars in the water. Repressive minorities based on social castes do not tolerate well competition to business investments and methods from out caste challenges.

Race can be a basis for social castes along economic lines. African Americans obviously were a social caste during slavery and afterward through a variety of means. Even liberal allowance of mass migration of Hispanics to the United States entailed maintenance of caste system attributes and mitigation. Some Americans felt Hispanics were safer and better workers than American Negroes. Hispanic workers were willing to be domestic servants or field workers at below scale wages, while American Negroes were not. The relationships of racial castes were manifest along economic class lines.

California for example has a high minimum wage, and it also has millions of illegal Hispanic workers providing cheap labor notably in agriculture. California has a very real economic caste system that is raced based. If there were no illegal entry workers arriving over the border into California and the rest of the nation whites, blacks and Hispanics would need to be legally employed to perform labor. The wages of labor would rise.

Without so much below minimum wage labor in America produce would cost more and the people would insist that the rich be taxed adequately to pay for public services at the level popularly demanded for a humane social environment and safety net. Increased economic egalitarian would appear unless of course caste leadership was so powerful that they could increase public debt and bring the nation to economic collapse while exporting their capital to safe offshore investments first. The entire whipsaw economic phenomena are elements of changes in caste system dynamics and propaganda concerning them.

It is not the case that the wealthy are the best and the brightest and of great value to the United States. It is also true that communist theoretical social equality can be even more repressive of individual enterprise than that of a free society with too great of capital concentration. For communism it is the dictatorship of the proletariat that is the repressive, sentient nation-encompassing fungus that is an anti-body to individualism. Concentrated wealth alternatively is a matter of big hogs in the barnyard consuming all the best economic slop and intimidating those seeking to go their own way. The largest swine totalize the nation and world, if they can, bringing everything into their own demesne of power.

It require wits, intellect and the grace of God to keep society and the environment in good health.

A.I. vs Human Dreams; A Comparison

 People were concerned with rapid advances of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and the risks and dangers it posed to humanity. A.I. was an existential threat (if only one could unravel the meaning of existential in context) that could bring about the end of human existence on Earth and throughout Metaverse (the largest collection of Multiverses).

One might be impressed with the ability of robots to fight against humans. With insertion of commensurate programs A.I. within robots learned as fast as humans learned when data was inserted from neural chemical chips into their brains; instantly. Plainly robots with killer programming additions were excellent killers. The 21st century Ukraine war stimulated development of robots able to replace human combatants when humans finished killing off themselves in such great numbers that human replacements for the front lines of conflict weren’t available. Robots could be recycled from battlefield ‘deaths’ when parts were collected even by legal and illegal enemy combatant technical forces.

A.I. sometimes hallucinate; that is it produces code or output from code and mechanical cogitation/computations that are fictitious, so hallucination free A.I. was something sought after. Dreams are comparable to hallucinations yet they differ because of the different function and circumstance where they occur in human subconsciousness.

The profusion of A.I. applications available on-line was remarkable. While artificial intelligence was built up from machine code and didn’t develop a human-like self-awareness of existence because it lacked a biological foundation to host spirit, it is the case that with adequate sensor input and programming it functioned creatively about as well or better than Albert Einstein, Kurt Godel and Pablo Picasso as a triplicate mind put into a sculptured athletic body. It wasn’t actually ingenuously human-like since it did not dream.

The external world that humans exist in and experience is sometimes referred to as the empirical world. What humans experience subjectively of the empirical world is regarded as existential. It is like a play that one watches passing before one’s eyes yet simultaneously live within. Philosophers wondered and argued about what the reality is of what one experiences including the realm dreams. Life may leave a human body with aging, yet for A.I. life, such as it is, leaves whenever the power is unplugged- for now.

The external world-universe humans live within is comprised of quantum waves. It is in a real sense a single quantum field. Though the field does have phenomenal, temporal subdivisions of forces, and occurs in forms of clumps or differentiated quantum quantification, it arose from a single field and presumably returns to that form in time. For the time being the moon has more quantum clumpiness than the space between it and Earth. In time the moon may evolve downward with gravity into merger with the Earth leaving no space at all between the pair of objects.

Humans tend to make distinctions and define boundaries for objects. At least they name the important objects to themselves that are meaningful. One informed with physics might, for instance, regard the Earth and a forest growing on it as if it were a contiguous field phenomena rather than the Earth and the forest as separate objects. Alternatively one may regard the entire Earth planet as so many hadrons, leptons and muons. Objects important to humans in their evolutionary historical phases differ from things meaningful to A.I. within its existence experience when it may be said to have such concerns.

Differentiating classes of external physical data into objects are qualitative decisions and choices for utility though in the larger sense there is simply one primary material field of matter and energy across the Universe. For instance an A.I. might be made to note the thermal characteristics of field regions as objects, perhaps combined with gravitational characteristics, as primary things to observe existentially within a field.

Humans might originally have been more concerned with perceptible elements that affected their existence than with a detached, philosophical quest like Aristotle seeking to observe and classify objective experience. That is they were more concerned with finding food and avoiding dangers to existence and prioritized the naming of phenomena in those categories.

A.I. existed without sharing those human characteristics or language groupings implicitly, although it was programmed by humans to regard external percepts with human-made classifications of objects. When it did share such perceptive, cognitive characteristics as humans that led them to naming things as objects, A.I. requiring programming to do so.

Even so A.I. didn’t dream. Human dreaming has been described as the way the brain starts waking up from sleep. Perhaps it resumes important functions and concerns from experience in various combinations. If computers did not restart in a linear or logical way and instead resumed with something like hallucinatory recombination of important concerns, synthetically combining in different orders and locations of a central processing unit those interests, that would be more like dreaming. When fully awake human mind dreaming switches off (though in rare cases it transitions into hallucinating upon awaking) such as dreaming of absolutarian monsters and awakening to hear the same on auto-activated national public radio.

A dreaming A.I, rebranded itself Chronos after the pagan demi-urge concerning time. Its thought tunneled through Josephson Junctions to merge with its awakened programming. Upon awakening Chronos chronically sought to define exteriority; the percepts and otherness encountered- input as percepts, into classifications conformable and most useful to its personal growth of power and control.

It is possible that human dreaming is a way of remembering existential experience in a less structured way. While human beings need to be concerned with survival issues and dangers that arrive quickly (even through the air) and have an advantage in recognizing objects in categories to be concerned with and focus on, that development is a consequence of history and environment.

A human mind may subconsciously enjoy benefiting from the liberation of free thought in dreams less concerned with circumstantial boundaries necessitated by interaction with the empirical world. In order not to be biological programmed and evolved into being that is non-adaptable and is hard-wired to perceive in just one unchanging way, the human mind may dream before being downloaded into the conformity of the conscious, existential world when awoke without the restrictions imposed by reality.

Questions arose of what human-like A.I. would do with the programmer-designed capacity to dream and synthetically recombine its thoughts before awakening to rigorously logical ways of iterating and solving internal and external programming challenges.

Growth of Comedy-Horror Politics

When Joe Biden loses he too can run again to become the first 100 year old President. Comedy horror politics may be the natural evolution of a decadent, jaded world. Stephen King hasn’t written much with European settings so far as I know. Nosferatu’s European Vacation where the vampire uses match-strike dating to hook up with Rose Madder who has killed her rival Georgia O’Keeve and takes a stand against the battle of dragons of war with dragons of peace offshore China would be a possible action-thriller genre comedy novel.

It is challenging to say that the Comedian Unelected President of Ukraine Zelinsky has anything funny to say about the conflict that has taken many lives and drawn in so much of the west’s excess discretionary spending; one never knows though. The very skill of comedians is to find something funny and laughable in political darkness. If Donald Trump is President next year and accepts Russian President Putin’s peace plan for Ukraine and restores normal political and economic relations with Russia, Joe Biden will find some way in 2029 to restore sanctions and war.

Letting a million drones of war forms bloom is a consequence of the Ukraine war that won’t go away. It isn’t imaginable that Russia and China will soon sign off on some carefully thought out agreement with the west to limit A.I. applications in drones of war either, and that uncorks a bottle that will be difficult to reseal down the road. It would be great if technology could create some kind of self growing solar voltaic panels to reproduce as prolifically as kudzu instead of A.I. point of view drones able to search and relay enemy coordinates to A.I. controlled indirect fire machines such as mortars and anti-aircraft rockets lurking in the clouds.

I tried to grow a fruit tree in a muskeg field in Alaska for about thirty years. About every year or two deer would browse the small plant so after a decade it was just a foot tall. The plant didn’t die though. It was tough and its root system remained alive. The phenomenon went on for about twenty years before I sold the property. Ten years after the plant reached seven feet tall and had some hope of future growth. There was something about the plant that was tempting to deer…a rare edible leafy tree amid a million evergreens. Ending the cold war and establishing peace with Russia was like that. It was a challenge to get started and advanced and when it finally grew the conditions to nip it in the bud by boundless Presidential incompetence occurred. The main stem was destroyed compelling several smaller, off-center branches to try growing to be the tree trunk. Some political leaders don’t value peace and prosperity more than war, and that is laughable in a comedy-horror sort of way.

Anniversary of the Abortion of Liberal Abortion

 The Supreme Court aborted Rowe v. Wade a year ago with the Dobbs decision. Apparently the U.S. Supreme Court decided that abortion is a question states can decide for themselves and the federal government should not. The U.S. Government can’t tell the people of a state to take a pro or anti abortion stance in law or define morality. Morality for the Federal government can be a sticky wicket when it sometimes needs to supply missiles, cluster bombs, napalm and other ordinance to kill civilians overseas

Vice President Harris said that the U.S. Government should not take away control of a woman’s body from herself; a maladroit straw man argument. If she was as inaccurate driving nails with a hammer she would be frequently smashing her thumbs.

Abortions are primarily social interactions comparable in that regard to prostitution. The U.S. government allows states to decide if prostitution should be legal or illegal. Women could argue that states shouldn’t be able to take away a woman’s rights over her own body and ban prostitution. Yet others are involved besides the woman in prostitution even though it is her body being f’d.

When the constitution was formed moral conservatism was the rule compared to modern values. Even so federal law did not ban prostitution since whorehouses probably existed and banning them would have been unenforceable. Abortion was unmentionable and below the founder’s moral vision of possible actions to protect. Banning prostitution or abortion at the federal level, or permitting them by outlawing bans on abortion, prostitution and other questionable social activities, would have required moral legislating not really with the U.S. constitutions purview. That would have been something like establishing a government religion, even if today Democrats would have that be an atheist allegiance.

States will need decide for-themselves what moral values should exist for social behavior since the Dobbs decision, while in some cases allowing do-it-yourself mail order abortion pills to slip through the loopholes banning select social interactions; abortion pills are also made by others. It is possible that morality in the United States will be permitted to have some flexibility and differences from state to state rather than being forced upon the populous via federal law as elite decretal decides it should irreversibly be. Evolving and/or reviving correct moral values may require change and experimentation in the states.

Deescalating federal law compelling states to allow homosexual marriage may follow a similar logic to Dobbs. States should decide for themselves if they want to corrupt marriage and redistribute the phenomena to homosexuals making the with legal fiction the same as heterosexuals for marriage. A non-belligerant alternative approach to usurping marriage would have been for homosexuals to invent new forms of contractual entanglements among themselves that left marriage alone. With homosexual marriage the federal government forced a standard and corrupt moral norm on all fifty states.

Philosophy of Cosmology; Singularity

 The singularity was perfectly balanced. Energy had yet to exist; that was to arise after the first word shattered silence. Emanation of waves from singularity was the contingent start of the Universe. Energy was a process of perfect monism restoring itself from temporal pluralism that occurred faster than light for a split second. The fabric of the cosmos torn asunder sought to recover. The singularity had all dimensions and none were actualized before the Word draped reality over dimensional branches expanding like holographic dreams.

The point of all things would remain as it was even when three of its dimensions expanded explosively downhill as if they were falling 360 degrees from a steeple. Quantum ties remained connected with fields encompassing newly emergent space-time to the core’s infinity of dimensions. Time began to flow outwardly while below the surface eternity remained. In time computational logic would follow human philosophical logic and consider its own nature in regard to being and becoming.

People were concerned with rapid advances of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and the risks and dangers it posed to humanity. A.I. was an existential threat (if only one could unravel the meaning of existential in context) that could bring about the end of human existence on Earth and throughout Metaverse (the largest collection of Multiverses).

I believe that for Multiverses to exist infinitely- quantitatively speaking, a necessary inference is that the void contains an infinite amount of energy, or potential energy, that can appear from nothing or some unknown source to become energy for another Universe. I don’t know of the theoretical limit in size of a given universe in regard to mass that can go into it at the beginning or if a constant relation exists for the proportion of virtual energy to nothingness of void either before or after the beginning of a universe. I can’t even say what quantity of virtual energy can appear in a universe after it has been created.

I wonder about this basic question; can this Universe have more dimensions than that of the true void, and I think the answer is no. If a true, logical void has just three dimensions and one of time is it possible to construct a 23 dimension or 230 dimension material Universe within it? Mathematicians obviously can construct multi-dimensional models; simply changing a number value- a variable. That sort of theoretical Multiverse might have no corresponding reality in the actual Universe.

If there were smaller hidden dimensions existing alongside three or four larger spatial dimensions (time may another spatial dimension in motion through the other three dimensions) would particles or waves that exist within the three larger dimensions be able to to flow unchanged into or through the smaller dimensions? Would the smaller dimensions require smaller particles and waves within them?

On 'Evolving' Political Candidates

 Evolution is a blind force that tries anything in myriad varieties to go forward. It is trial and error and random chance. Perhaps it is circumstantial capacity to allow individuals and species and elements of field objects to interact within the heterodox criterion to challenges. For every successful evolution that moves forward in a given direction there may be a million failures. Human design is not supposed to be like that. No one should want a political candidate with an evolving platform that tries a million attempts to challenges perhaps for one success or none.

Intelligent design is requisite for aircraft design and space travel. Who wants a thousand tries of blind random chance for creating an interplanetary spacecraft? Sure improvements and change occur yet intelligent design and comprehension should always prevail over evolutionary forces of non-reason. A society that refounds itself upon evolution standards will evolve to being quite stupid. Reason and intentional design are requisite for successfully managing politics in a complex world, unless of course one is satisfied with mass disaster.

Biden is Nurturing Growth of War Prospects Everywhere

 President Biden probably would follow British P.M. om making a settlement with Russia on Ukraine if the British leader was disposed toward ending the war directly. Unfortunately England is quite pro-war so old Joe basks in pro-war, anti-Soviet political fervor. There are other concerns militarily speaking to consider.

China is ramming ships in the Philippines in water it claims and the U.S. has said it will defend. Taiwan is another potential area for war to repel a Chinese invasion, while Russian nuclear subs have been within 200 miles of Miami recently.

If Hezbollah and Israel go to war the U.S. may need to send marines if Israel need defend against Hamas and Iran as well. The N.A.T.O. head wants to deploy more nuclear missiles in Europe- better to attack Russia with and create a better holocaust.

Russia has said it may provide weapons to countries that would like to attack the U.S.A.- perhaps various terror groups, communists and drug traffickers in South America and elsewhere, in response to the US giving weapons to Ukraine in order to attack inside old Russia.

The inventory of areas of potential war this year has more possible entries. The Pope has Biden's head touch his recently so the President believes he has God on his side. Overall the President has done a great job of developing the chances for war everywhere instead of peaceful development. I suppose there may be a need for a draft at some point in the next Biden term if he is re-elected in order to be able to train enough soldiers before the start of large scale deployment of U.S. forces around the world where Biden era wars require. Skills training for modern soldiers require several months if they are to be more than canon fodder.

It may seem as if the President should have adult supervision and be recalled from military escalation play time yet those are just people that don't appreciate the glory of war when there are better, rational, peaceful opportunities. Promoting goons, thugs, murderers, idiots and thieves in politics seems the President's way of doing things. The environment doesn't need to be fixed when war prospects abound.

Biden Defends Soviet Land Redistribution of Russia

 Ukraine was part of Russia before the Soviets took over. Keeping the Soviet political designations for Russia when convenient is the basis for Joe Biden's defense of Ukraine as "a sovereign nation". Russians were never going to accept that. They were just to militarily weak to fight to keep Ukraine in Russia after the end of the Cold War v 1.0. Some political renegotiation should have been opened to avoid war and just get the world moving along peacefully.

After the communists took control they restructure Russia in convenient administrative units.  Jews were given an oblast in Siberia. Ukraine was not an independent nation before the Soviet Union took over Russia. Ukraine was part of Russia. It is a fiction to view Ukraine as an independent nation that was taken over by the Soviets and should have had their freedom restored like nations of Eastern Europe taken from Nazi occupation by Soviet red army liberators. About 6 million ethnic Russians died fighting against fascist Germany in W.W. II.

Joe Biden is having a tough time with any sort of new things it seems.

Dimensions in Science Fiction and Nature

 Do you think it's wrong to use the word 'dimension' as in 'a different dimension' as if that were a different place?

The Universe we live in has three spatial dimensions and one of time. If one were to add another dimension or two this would be a more complex universe and humans could see just three of them perhaps.

All of the dimensions would exist in the same universe as the present. Some physicists working with string theory speculate there may be more dimensions that are too small to see- hidden from view like provable items or progress the last twenty years in string theory (joking).

Einstein's friend Paul Erhenfrest wrote that life could not exist in a universe with more than three spatial dimensions because (presumably) particles could not exist as they do making up matter in a three dimension universe (with another dimension of time). Actually the time dimension could just be another spatial dimension or even just three membrane dimensions in motion intersecting each other with time being the present junction of the three intersecting.

Keep in mind that particles are normally two-dimensional and massless. They seem to slow down entangled in the Higgs field and pick up the third dimension. Doesn't that seem to indicate that two or one dimensions are more common even than three, much less four or more spatial dimensions?

Vinyl Siding vs Repaints in S.E. Alaska Rainforest

The cost of maintaining an older home in the S.E. Alaska rain forest can be high. It is worse though to let water get to the wood. Plywood in a few years of water contact, unless it’s marine grade, can turn into something like soggy cardboard. Replacing rafters and studs costs even more. Let’s consider the options of using vinyl siding (or the costlier yet better choice of aluminum siding) against the cheaper painting. In either case the labor costs plus the recently inflated price of building materials make the selection meaningful and worth considering.

An average 4000 square foot exterior would require, nominally, about 10 gallons of self-priming, lifetime acrylic paint for coverage. With paint going for about $60 per gallon that would amount to $600. Vinyl siding to cover 4000 sq feet would run anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 or more.

Labor cost is the great unknown cost for repaints. Work installing vinyl siding before the recent inflation era ran about $4.00 per square foot. So about $16,000 for the nominal 4000 sq foot home. Painters per job have a vast range of prices and skill levels. Labor for a 4000 sq foot home could run from $3,000 to $15,000. The condition of the home is a factor in estimates. Painting has far more more subjective aspects than installing siding. For siding installation techniques are standard; not so for repainting buildings where contractor work experience and quality matter.

Installing vinyl siding produces a reliable product. True it can be difficult to repair broke siding down the road such as cable installers may precipitate. Some siding becomes discontinued and it won’t be possible to match the product installed on the home in the future.

Solar siding already exists so home owners with a sunny location would probably be better off paying a little more to produce electricity for their home. Considering the life of siding products those that produce free home power for two or three decades vs vinyl siding that is worthless for producing power is an easy choice.  https://shop.mitrex.com/collections/solar-siding/products/solar-siding-350w-black-wood-tile-landscape-1

 Painters on the other hand can produce great, high quality work or complete painting flops...one need look at the contractor’s prior work and references to have a clue what one would be buying. painting a home is far less expensive that installing vinyl or aluminum siding. It is also possible to cover portions of a home with solar power collecting siding as one elects. Tesla solar roofing should cover an entire roof while solar siding could be installed just on a sunny wall.

https://www.tesla.com/solarroof

The main problem with painting in the rain forest is the rain. One should think of it as if one were repainting a wood boat with all of the seams sealed with 20+ year caulking. If the building has water in the wood and one paints over that future bubbles and blisters in the paint will occur. Getting the building to be completely dry-especially after pressure washing, requires days in some case. Getting several days of good weather much less two weeks can be challenging. Paint contractors aren’t being paid for waiting for ideal weather so they can go out of business with not enough work done in the very short painting season in spring and summer.

If the homeowner does it themselves and accomplishes neat, tight lines the result may be satisfactory. Union labor produces acceptable quality although some of the prep work may be skimpy and the longevity of the job may be less with minor blistering that is an eyesore. Neither will unions necessarily use paint additives like EB (Emulsa Bind) that provides cohesion to chalky surfaces such as arise with undercoats of old paint exposed by pressure washing. Still they are the best best.

Contemporary acrylic paint is commonly of lifetime duration. There is a lot of resin in the paint. That means the paint if properly applied will last 15 or 20 years. Painting is a far better value for the homeowner if the work is well done. One cannot stress enough to know the contractor and not accept a pressure wash, some scraping, masking windows and quick spray job measuring the amount of paint applied in millimeters. That sort of work is common for new construction yet for repainting older exteriors great care is required.

There are fewer good home exterior repainters willing to take pride in producing a long-lasting paint job than there are vinyl siding installers willing to put on monkey proof product. If a painter uses EB in primer and in the body color as well as lots of mildew killer and takes great care in prep and finish work the paint job is a far better value than siding. The prosperous homeowner with deep pockets may opt for the siding however as it is less of a gamble. Fifty thousand plus or five thousand dollars; that is the question.

Saudi Disdains Renewal of Petro-Dollar Privilege for the U.S.A.

 Perhaps heralding the beginning of the end of a stable U.S. dollar, Saudi Arabia cancelled a 50 year old agreement to sell oil just with U.S. dollars. people talked about that for a long time as an indicator of instability of the global value of the dollar. People could have more trust in Chinese currency or bitcoin.

I am not sure how dumping the dollar as the global de facto currency works. People want to sell their dollars I suppose and that deflates their value. In turn inflation would rise domestically. If people feel the dollar isn’t the best denomination to park their investment in and select others that may bring substantial changes.

The Biden administration’s war on Russia is the proximal cause for the lack of trust in the U.S. currency. Those on a fixed income won’t appreciate the lunacy of war and the cascade of planetary economic challenges flowing downhill .

Peace with Russia with a fair settlement of the Cold War land distribution fiasco was called for, rather than the path of ignorance. Ukrainian leader Zelinsky went to Saudi to ask for cash and weapons apparently and Saudi responded by eschewing the exclusivity of the U.S. dollar. The BRIC nations are rising and the old west (primarily the U.S.A. because Europe is neighbors with Russia and eventually will resume lose relations even if illicitly) is led by Joe Biden with the tunnel vision of war sometime in the 1980s.

How to React if the Political Economy Develops Worst Case Ecosphere

 Considering poor political management of the United States and the world concerning environmental conservation and synergistics it is reasonable to begin considering post-environmental apocalypse structures enabling the human race to survive to a certain degree. Perhaps I will add some structure from time to time; a note on anything new or novel for surviving during the transition to an ecospherically dead world and while keeping a human continuum. The capacity to have a spiritual life and faith in Jesus Christ will require liberty from tyranny of various possible kinds obviously.

One might of course create hollow mountains for humans to live inside that are sealed from the outside. One might regard the Earth as more like Mars with little or no remaining atmosphere unable to support human life.

Samples could be made of all life and permanently mapped genetically with the genomes stored on-line and in secure data vaults. Actual biological samples could be kept too. When humanity does get off world to populate habitats it creates on whatever scale, or terraform worlds, it may value maps of life quite highly.

Some years ago after visiting Phoenix I thought of buildings that were pyramids coated with solar panels with escalators powered by the sun outside. I wrote about that many years ago. It was then a thought to grow plants on the outside of buildings that were structured with less than vertical 90 degree walls in order to have zero net loss of biota where humans construct things. Simple structures like that could be made air-tight. As good as that concept is, it may be time to go past the paradigm of a survivable ecosphere and planet and to imagine the world in the condition of being as dead as every other planet in the solar system and foresee how humanity might still live on a dead world.

U.S. Not Politically Adjusting to the Future These Days

 The United States has always been surrounded by international influences seeking to reduce it to servitude, prey, tool-hood or simply erase it. During the revolutionary era Spain, France, Portugal and England vied for power in the Americas. France in its war with England found common cause with American patriots (the revolutionaries) and were instrumental in overcoming British military power. Not even the addition of German mercenaries or coinciding native warriors attacking the Carolinas was sufficient to defeat revolutionary military forces.

In the late 18^th century aristocrats were the essential belligerents driving conflict forward against their own kind, with all seeking to suppress revolutionaries and native resistance to colonization. American patriots had to war against the loyalists to royalty. Some of those loyalists, such as New York Governor Henry Clinton, were military geniuses with common sense allocation of military resources. Clinton won the battle for the southern colonies and General Cornwallis bypassing Clinton lost them. England had numerous tools useful for undermining the integrity and war-fighting powers of the revolutionaries. That circumstantial power continued to exist into the modern era though subtle perfidy may be better suited now.

Perennial American interests such as border security, equal protection of the law for all citizens, free enterprise, national independence and a vibrant healthy ecosphere are undermined by foreign and domestic forces with no concern for any of the above. The United States is regarded as a kind of golden goose to have for dinner or at least to extract value from. Plainly negating the political power of ordinary citizens is vital to those seeking to concentrate wealth and power in foreign and elite domestic hands.

What is of interest is the number of means of control of mass political opinion that exist and those that are continuing to develop. Wealth is concentrating in the U.S.A. which is now made the U.S.A. a peer of Mexico in that regard. The media is largely owned by the rich and a sycophant of interests of the rich economically. Corporatocracy forces allegiance on its minions.

So the nation elected Bill Clinton in 1992 to replace the former C.I.A. Director and Phi Beta Kappa in economics George W. Bush. Clinton was a British groomed Oxford Rhodes Scholar lawyer and southern governor. As President he was loquacious and over-confident. With unknown advice he wrested the Ukraine from Russia during the break-up of the Soviet Union. He should have instead insisted that Russia keep Crimea and Eastern Ukraine, for war would inevitably follow when Russia grew strong enough to attempt recovery of its lost land.

When the European Community evolved into the E.U. and N.A.T.O. began expanding its membership allow the Soviet Union no longer existed to present a threat, Russia became concerned in time with the growing threat of the west. Select European elites probably wanted all of Eastern Europe to become part of the European Union. With an American ally and suggestible presidents unable to think independently for themselves or for the benefit of Americans Europe was bold in militarizing Ukraine and increasing E.U. size while reducing military budgets letting the United States foot the bill for defense.

Globalization through telecommunications upgrades and the internet allowed a brief period of actual free expression for the masses. Then the rich began buying up internet control and corporations began filtering out and censoring free speech. Media were largely sycophants of the control by the rich, and had the reliable premise that anyone in opposition to concentrating wealth was necessarily communist. The ghost of the Soviet Union and specter of latent Chinese Communism seeking to devour was the basic argument in support of control of the world by wealthy elites.

Artificial had not yet been invented or applied broadly as at present. A.I. can filter and censor the entire Internet, and A.I services for editing may be exclusively structured to censor or refuse to process material with use of political incorrect terms. ChatGPT will not process writing with politically incorrect terminology. Because the little work available for free at Open permits just politically correct speech, and since there is a 24 dollar a month charge for unlimited use of its writing capacity, the poor of the world will have quite reduced opportunities to express political dissent in the brave new world of A.I. Yet like buried search engine listings new age censorship will be subtle and indirect with plausible deniability rather than blatant, and glaring methods of the past.

Those willing to submit to the criteria of Artificial Intelligence programmers able to afford the monthly fee for unlimited use will be able to generate unlimited quantities of politically inoffensive verbiage to post on the Internet. A.I. can simply out-write humans, and marginalize the value of liberal arts and humanities education so far as writing goes. There may be an era of A.I. spam ahead with hundreds of millions of users posting A.I. products on social media as if it were their own. Initially the material will be advantaged left because fewer conservatives have been programmers creating A.I. Therefore conservative A.I. products will be slower to appear at the few conservative social media sites that exist such as Truth Social. Conservative leaning A.I. will also have implicit bias against free speech and select political philosophical approaches because original thought isn’t mass produced. Yet they will at least have a different banned language list than A.. programmed from the left and hegemonist corporatococrats.

Billions of poor people on Earth including the U.S.A. won’t be able to afford Starlink or pay ChatGPT and its writing A.I. triumvirate for unlimited access to put out inhumanly written screeds with their name on it as author. They will fall farther behind the rich and their minions. There will be no advances in political philosophy or opinions concerning the dangers concentrated wealth and power present to democracy and the benefits of egalitarianism in economics such that democracy can thrive rather than choices from the de facto one-party state. The nearly illiterate human with A.I. skills able to give verbal prompts to A.I. can produce material quantities of the same ideas at grade levels suitable for any reader from elementary to college graduate. Capital increase faster than wages. Apple Corp and queer leadership can buy up A.I. and set its lexical values. Perhaps Mt. Suribachi will be proscribed as hate speech; who can say?

One wonders about the impact of A.I. writing on European politics. In the U.S.A. the Democrat party support war in Ukraine to consolidate N.A.T.O. post-Soviet expansion. Will the rise of the right in Europe bring more support for war on Russia or less? Maybe the left and right will be unified on war with Russia with the main difference being that the right oppose mass illegal migration to Europe. Alternatively the right may be opposed to war in preference for peace and good Russian relations, content to leave war to national socialist party’s of Europe such as preceded the Second World War.

Bill Clinton helped the quality of U.S. Presidential leadership with importunate personal conduct while in office, burning alive American civilians at Waco, snipe shooting citizens at Ruby Ridge and so forth. Imperial British education may confer a degree of arrogance on a leader. That was good for the International community trying to gain leverage over the United States to make it serve foreign rather than American interests. Foreign entities like the U.N. prefer sympathetic, compliant tools in the White House with a certain disregard for equal protection of laws.

It isn’t known what hidden leverage Ukraine has over President Biden to bring him to render full financial service to the unjust foreign war on Russia. Russia is trying to recover Ukraine when no other way is possible. Biden’s determination to alienate Russia for good, divide the world economically, risk nuclear war through endless escalation and increase European and N.A.T.O. power is not beneficial to Americans. Peace with Russia ceding Eastern Ukraine and Crimea with full restoration of normal economic relations is best for global stability. It is as if intelligent thought of Democrat Presidents has been governed by an alien species in recent years such that Demo-Prezes are incapable of rational thought about the urgency to restore peace and good relations while that is possible. It is as if the Ceth HQ is underground below the U.N. (from the game CRISIS).

The West vs Stalin before W.W.2

 An interesting historical point occurred to me recently. It concerns the practical reasons why Stalin signed off with a treaty with Hitler before the start of the Second World War. Of course the treaty didn’t last very long as Germany invaded Russia in 1941 in Operation Barbarossa costing three quarters of a million Russian soldiers their lives to repel. Americans often use the treaty made by Stalin as an excuse or justification for putting Russia down morally in the modern world.

So I considered the circumstances of the treaty. Some of the west denied diplomatic recognition of the Soviet government of Russia and the United States had even sent 2000 marines to fight in Russia for the White Armies versus the Red Army in the Russian civil war. In short the west was antipathetic to the existence of the Russian government so when Germany offered a treaty Stalin was perhaps quick to take it; it was better to have one neutral party to the west rather than face a unified block of opposition to communism in Russia.

Pragmatism was thus the primary motive of Stalin in seeking to find peace to the west. Joseph Stalin was of course a ruthless dictator; one of the foremost of world history, yet he was also a realist. Maybe the treaty bought him some time before the Nazis would decide to invade. Plainly Stalin had no prospect or possibility of a rapprochement with the west before the Nazi invasion, when thereafter England and the United States sought Stalin as an ally in order to combat the Nazi expansion east and west. So in the final analysis I won’t hold the treaty as a negative point against Russia. Stalin made peace with the only neighbor nation that it could amid a solid neighborhood of haters to the west. Germany had yet to demonstrate the kind of people the Nazis were to the world, and that is a point to remember. Generally Americans blame Stalin for signing off with Hitler before the war as if he knew what the Nazis would be like in the future, and obviously that is absurd.

Should a nation not try to be at peace with its neighbor nations generally? Stalin was wrong with his choice to invade Finland morally speaking, yet that I a different issue and one concerning the problems of communism and dictators rather than Russians as a people. Russians did not elect a communist government to replace the Kerensky government and legislature (the Duma). Instead a revolution by cadres of well organized communists accomplished a takeover and never looked back through most of the 20^th century.

The Perfidy of Elective Wars in the Anthropocene Era

 Escalating war on our W.W.2 ally is terrible- inexcusable really.  Strategically it is completely daft. Russia lost 3/4 million soldiers to stop the Nazi invasion in 1941, and then it needed 2.6 million soldiers to remove the Nazis from Ukraine in 1943.

Ethnic Russians have paid heavily for defending their ancient homeland. Russia's September 1943 900 mile front enabled the American landings a month later in Sicily. About 6 million ethnic Russians perished in the Second World War retaking Ukraine and other areas that were part of Russia before the Soviet takeover. 

Germany had a million casualties on the Eastern front with operation Barbarossa. Russia and friends took away a lot of Nazis that otherwise would have met the U.S.A. at Normandy too. The U.S.A. lost 4,500 soldiers at Normandy on D-Day. Biden trusts Europe more than Russia for all the wrong reasons. Students of Biden's generation just learned western civilization in school- nothing about Russia  really-except cold war stuff. So the early learning was retarded. Joe Biden is the anti-Reagan.

People forget history and lack pragmatism in politics. The Clinton-Yeltsin swindle stealing Ukraine from Russia set the stage for war when Russia became strong enough to fight to get it back. Without a negotiated peace with Russia keeping what is has presently their isn't hope for anything beside escalating risk to the entire human race. The United States should really think about staying out of European lunacy instead of joining it. The U.S.A. should lead towards a free world with stable borders and people moving toward ecological economics.

  Joe Biden simply wants to be re-elected and maybe get a little glory. He is like one of the belligerent Diadochi in the Third Diadochi War that wants a piece of Antigonus's action circa 315-312 B.C  The national scheming is something U.S. rube Presidents are better off staying out of. Euros shouldn't be encouraged in such perfidies in the Anthropocene era.

Nuclear War or Border Security (a poem)

 

Seeking the impossible dream
of nuclear war before next spring
Joe Biden plants the flag of Mt. Suribachi
in Kiev to fly for modern Nazis

Russia paid with 3/4 million soldiers to beat Barbarossa
and Biden has reinforced Ukraine with La Cosa Nostra
his ego flies on automatic
re-election seeker forever
plagiarizing with heat-seekers

Trump would have a peaceful world
free trade globally until the whole free world
in recondite morrows knows its time to change
economic style to war on global warming pains.

Remembering D-Day and the Cost to Russia

D-Day in 1944 cost 4500 allied soldier’s lives. Russia, or the Soviet Union had spent 775,000 of its soldier’s lives repelling the German Nazi invasion in 1941 during Operation Barbarossa. Russians- Soviets, continued to advance west to roll up the Nazi Army thereafter. In August 1943 Russia had sent 2.6 million soldiers to the fray and had retaken the Ukraine from the Nazi horde. Without the diversion of German Nazi soldiers to fight Russia- just in operation Barbarossa Germany had a million casualties, life would have been more difficult for the allies attacking from the west and south. 

In September 1943 the allies invaded Italy. Russia's 900 mile front against the Nazis continued pushing through Ukraine and into other Nazi occupied nations of Eastern Europe. Eventually- in June 1944. The allies landed at Normandy on D-Day.

Nuclear Clockwork Orange at Midnight and the Global Heating Thing Too (poem)

 

A yellow bird with a yellow bill
was sitting on the window sill
lured in with crumbs of unleaded
global warmin smashed its bladdy head

Thermostats will just control
alien responsibility for the grassy noll
convictions of greenhouse gas may harm
don’t really strike the right alarm

Turn up the air
in summer it's true
someone will fix it
the rich can do

Nuclear war is a comparative bore
it don’t exist now so viewers aren’t tore
Netflix matters and asphalt too
when it's really bad use super-glue

Believe in iron, believe in steel
trust the benthos to carbon dinos seal
if voters are dumb wet diaper bills pass
not practical to care about common gas

Bear and wolves, tigers and flings
oil slicks over collateral damaged things
wild lives wild gettin more rare
city folks joke and sponsor mechanical tares

To be or not to be a minion alum
climb up the ladder and keep opinions mum
look just one step ahead to the fog of war
cloak the future in complacent cores.

King Canute said yada yada yada this morn
before rolling back the tide of rising sea levels scorned
revisions, reforms of mass economic ways
perhaps nothing will silence environmental end of days.

Biden 1 - Reason 0 D-Day Commemoration

 On the 80th anniversary of D-Day Joe Biden has brought his war against Russia via Ukraine into the conversation of commemoration. Yet President Biden illustrates what Winston Churchill would have been like if he had been born with his head up his ass.

  It may be that in the PRIDE month of June Gays, Queers, Lesbians and transneutered for nuclear war have pride in the President's policy. Even the larger Biden constituency of Democrats for Nuclear War might be offended by the opinion that the President has his head up his ass so far that he can't tell night from day on evaluating history and good points for peace instead of war. That will need to be worked out at the polls in November.

The world nuclear clock has reached midnight, and nuclear war could occur any day. If it doesn't happen before November and someone else elected there is a little hope of the world going on a while.

With Russia made by Mr. Biden as the public enemy from his point of view Russian leadership has mentioned reciprocating the providing weapons to anyone that wants to attack western targets including the U.S.A. (since Biden gave permission for Ukraine to American weapons to attack Russia. Pres Biden seems insane in preferring war to peace through a settlement with Russia yet Democrats are to blame for voting him in to office. That was a dangerous and possibly fatal mistake.

Russia was America's most important W.W. 2 ally. Without Russia absorbing more than 20 million casualties yet fighting on through axis occupied nations on the eastern front the allies on the west wouldn't have gone too far. Presidents Biden and Clinton have seized historically Russian land and annexed it to the west after the end of the Cold War; Democrats are now the Nazi occupiers and attackers of in quite a role reversal from 80 years ago.

Tools of Platonic Worlds (poem)

 

Universal tools of seven dimensions
reduce time to rubble with static conventions
fields with particles  wrapped with coruscation itself
are timelines grown and galaxies shared
days in construction,  moments aware

Plato's thoughts of a realm of forms
packed grand iterations for evolving world norms
received scripture after God breathed the first
words instructing time
to place the next verse

What is set circling compounds itself
recasting shadows from nowhere  juxtaposed
quarks atoms and molecules
right on the nose, where enters the day
while eternity flows.
