Book description;  What if Plato's realm of forms is the abstract logical structure of all forms and relationships that exist in nature? Plato wondered if forms of material things were actualizations of transcendent blueprints from the mind of God. A realm of forms may contain archetypes of collective quantum mechanics. Patrick Voevoda-a philosopher and his friend Evonne search for a universal technology form and answers to planetary environmental morphs. Forms of all matter may have an origin in the mind-plans of God.

Democracy and the Balance of Capital

There are four primary types of capital.

1. Intellectual capital
2. Private capital
3. Public capital
4. Natural capital

When the nation was found there was a wealth of natural capital. Over the centuries much of it has been converted into private capital through methods that unnecessarily depleted or diminished the capital. Natural capital was sustainable yet the intellectual capital to use it and not lose it was lacking.

Intellectual capital built up over the centuries yet private capital can be managed by people with over-specialized knowledge who have no grasp of the intellectual capital content, especially regarding other forms of capital. Private capital has had a tendency to exploit and reduce natural and public capital.

Public capital (i.e. streets, public utilities, public schools, ports and harbor constructions, airports, sports stadiums proving a socialistic base for the NFL to perform bread and circuses rituals for the plebeians) has increased with the increase of the national population of the United States over the centuries yet it has not increased in size with private capital at all. Public capital policy general is made to conform with the interests of private capital.

Democracy can become dominated by concentrated wealth managers of private capital with obsessive specialized interests. Public political management may become dominated by representatives of private capital wealth concentrations in the political forms of corporatism and plutocracy. Then the capacity of enlightened political management and adaptation to national challenges is diminished.

In theory democracy is free to management parameters of private capital concentration that would reinforce egalitarian opportunity for the acquisition of capital and capital growth (capital is here defined as real properties and knowledge of value.) and support the increase of all forms of capital rather than the domination of private capital concentrated in a small percent of the populous.

The Ford Accusation; All Hat No Cattle?

Christine Ford's accusations against a U.S. Supreme Court nominee may be all hat no cattle on her claims to be a rancher of a sex offense she said Brett Kavanaugh made. She made her accusation (that appeared carefully timed to delay a confirmation vote by someone-collusion with unknown persons of interest to leak the story) as a bolt out of the blue though Senator Feinstein had the letter Dr. Ford wrote since July and when talking with Judge Kavanaugh never mentioned the subject. Senators sometimes may have other concerns besides getting to the truth about the quality of potential political appointees. Christine Ford is unwilling to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee to present her cattle for inspection, if she indeed has any. Did anyone offer to provide free transport, a quality hotel and a fully stocked refrigerator if she would testify?

It is ironic that the technically rigorous legal profession and judiciary is so influenced by ad hoc data that seem to have less than quality evidence standards for its Supreme Court nominations.

A school student at the elite female school Holton-Arms who graduated in 1983 informs us that;

"Christine Blasey Ford was a year or so behind me,"I did not know her personally but I remember her. This incident did happen . Many of us heard a buzz about it indirectly with few specific details. However Christine's vivid recollection should be more than enough for us to truly,  deeply know that the accusation is true."

Judge Kavanaugh's mother was a Judge too. She adjudicated an eviction proceeding for Christine Ford and her parents from their home. Judge Kavanaugh's mother settled the proceeding, dismissing it, yet it is possible that young Christine formed some sort of bias against the son; Brett Kavanaugh at the time became of his mother's involvement. It is quite possible that Christine Ford contrived some sort of revenge leverage and circulated it in her all-female elite school in 1983.

Demanding the F.B.I. investigate the decades-old story would require weeks and realistically might not get any sort of reliable testimony at all about the alleged party and party incident. The claims should have some clear, present discussion before the Senate along with whatever Judge K has to say about it. That is a good place to start to look into the alien mutilation of the cattle of Judge Kavanaugh's reputation as it relates to confirmation. In theory, the narrative will play before the Senate next Monday.

Cancel that. Dr. Ford has apparently decided not to testify unless the F.B.I. investigates first. The public is left with an unverified report of a bum steer on the road beyond the wire.

The Rich Should Be Taxed 90%

The rich should have a 90% tax rate in order to prevent them from playing with the poor. They have far too much power and influence to determine politics and even liberty to be allowed such wealth.

One doesn't need socialism to accomplish that, and the money could pay off the national debt and improve public education or simply be destroyed. The purpose is to de-mock democracy rather than to provide free chicken dinners for hundreds of millions.

Probably it will require war to get the tax rate down. A war with unforseeable context as yet a cloud at best amidst clouds. Then another Roosevelt will step forth to raise the bar on those that mock democracy in favor of plutocracy, globalism and corruption.

A disclaimer; the Democrats are even more corrupt than Republicans- one needs to look somewhere else.

An effectively aristocratic owned market limits the potential number of socially valuable creative start-ups. Individuals require enough capital to prove up worthwhile inventions. Egregious investment in dubiously necessary businesses such as fossil fuel vehicles and asphalt highways demonstrably present an opportunity cost that displaces better product simply through the weight of concentrated capital.

Big F...ing Rocket Gets Japanese Boost

A Japanese billionaire has bought all of the seats aboard a Big Falcon Rocket trip around the moon. That will help pay for construction of the rocket that should occur in the next three to five years. That's a venture capitalist time paradigm that ought to be emulated by N.A.S.A., who decided not to finance the Space X BFR.

What N.A.S.A. could chip in  would be a realistic study of building a Mars Gateway that is something like the moon gateway it has a a present project. The mars Gateway could be constructed on Phobos or simply orbit and should have next-robotic assembly and 3-d printing.

Syrians Shoot Down Russian Aircraft With 15 Aboard

The Syrian government forces were shooting at Israelis and hot a Russian aircraft. Russia blames Israelis because their aircraft wouldn't hold still to be shot down. Russia should be realistic on the incident and not blame Israel for not having dolt pilots. Real politik is a Russian strength rather than weakness. There is already enough spaced out politics in the world, Russia needn't contribute.

Derailing Judicial Ascensions With Last Minute Accusations

The technique of wrenching Supreme Court Judicial appointment votes with last second accusations about high school sexual misconduct is a fairly fool-proof tool for Democrats to use to force things their way. Judge Kavinaugh left high school decades ago and delving into those years with murky memories providing virtually zero chance of accurate confirmation works fairly well.

Opposition parties to judicial nominations should not be free to keep a spare accusation in their back pocket to trot out at the last minute when their prospects for getting a no vote don't look good. A regular process to input all objections to the nominee should be established such that the objection evidence is all brought to the public hearing attention in a timely way with a cut off date for the introduction of new evidence, except for explicit objective evidence of a very high quality.  Unscrupulous politicians may otherwise choose to subvert honest proceedings simply for temporal control of the court to keep it as it is presently for as long as possible if they believe the court membership is disposed to supporting opposition political viewpoints regarding decisions.

It is unfortunate that Prof Christine Ford; a psychologist, choose to wait until the last minute to  trash Judge Kavanaugh's character. Yet it may produce a positive result eventually in predisposing the Judge to hold a little bias against psychologist working conflationary activities to conjoin the law and psychiatry to the detriment of human liberty.

Law should stiff-arm psychology in evidentiary and culpability to prevent social totalitarians from making it illegal to think, and correcting those who do. No one has even troubled to ask if the young Mr. Kavanaugh broke any laws, and to what extent he should be disqualified from being a Judge on the Supreme Court if he did actually grope the future psychologist.

Psychology is a field for atheists these days, preponderantly, with associative mind contents they can dismiss as phenomenal and meaningless. They may even be capable of dissimulation equal to that of politicians. Yet Judge Kavanaugh, if he has been of good character and conduct since allegedly groping, Christine Ford 35 years ago approx, might still be able to perform the duties of being a High Court Justice.
It may be the Christine Ford views the incident differently than the Judge-especially if it did not occur.

How Senator Murkowski of Alaska views the matter may be dependent upon how the Alaska Federation of Natives regard it, for she is basically owned by them for supporting her in her first run as a Senator against the Republican Party candidate Joe Miller. If she sabotages the somewhat conservative nominee Republicans of Alaska may remember that in her next re-election campaign, in addition to her support for Obamacare. Fundamentally she is a mercenary independent for hire.

If the alleged incident of groping a peer-girl while drunk at a party actually happened, getting people to testify to the event that supposedly ended with two boys running downstairs in drunken revelry, would be challenging. Some people  might remember the party perhaps, a somewhat typical adolescent socializing event with girls and boys playing together rather awkwardly in a post-pubescent (mostly) event, yet with no report at the time of the incident made apparently, there wouldn't be a good chance of putting the Judge on trial, or waterboarding him to determine if he actually did or did not cop a feel of sumptuous boobs without permission, under the influence of alcohol.

A trial for an adult incident would require months to prepare and would set back the vote obviously. Yet with the incident introduced at the last minute simply to stop the proceedings being made from Sen. Feinstein's California constituency by a professional psychologist well able to fabricate false memories and so forth, the entire affair does have the aura of bogusness about it. In the future there perhaps should be some sort of rule made that does not allow the introduction of last-minute accusations in to derail a vote. That is, there should be some reasonable time requirements to introduce evidence that won't allow flimsy accusations to disrupt normal legal affairs. Supreme Court appointments don't just slip through when no one is looking; it would be reasonable to set a time period following the public nomination of a Judge of a month or two for the introduction of hostile accusations.
