Rep Talib's Gaff Sounded Like She Gets Comfort from the Holocaust

Representative Talib's remark about Jews and the holocaust gives the appearance that she gets comfort from 6 million Jews being killed by Nazis in W.W. 2 death camps. It is comforting to her because the Jews took Palestine for-themselves after the Palestinians waged a war on the Jews because Palestinians were unwilling to share.

The insensitive remark could be taken in another way of course. Yet the Representative should not have made a remark that was a paradigmatic double entendre.

Sure Speaker Pelosi can defend the remark. I doubt that Senator Feinstein would. The Democrat party does have some cheesy characters.

Yes Robert E. Lee Was a Traitor, Yet Who Cares Now?

A traitor wages war directly other through or means on his own country. It is a material defect in good faith required of citizens. So Robert E. Lee was in a real sense a traitor. Yet one must ask; who cares after 154 years?

The Confederacy was a collection of supremacist rebels that wanted to force their will upon the citizens of the United States. Mr. Lee was happy enough to command the military forces that sought to divide the nation if not impose slavery upon the states.

I won a game in on-line blitz chess today from a guy with a rebel flag for an icon. Then it changed to Turkish after the loss. Some people still use the symbol to throw gasoline on political fires.

Robert E. Lee’s father was a convicted land swindler. It may be that Mr. Lee had something of his father’s rakish nature about him. He seemed to pursue upward social mobility for himself at all costs, and if marrying George Washington’s adopted son’s daughter and moving into the Washington properties wasn’t enough to satisfy him, and being named to lead West Point to supervise young men with all of the pomp and formality required left him feeling somewhat impoverished in stature, the opportunity to lead a new nation like his grand-father in law George Washington must have seemed like the real thing to him at least. 

The sense of glory and destiny must have been overwhelming for Robert E. Lee. His leadership wasn’t very good. He even disobeyed his Confederate President Jeff Davis in taking his army to campaign across the Potomac expecting support from welcoming northerners that never materialized.

Facebook Should Breakup into Red and Blue Books

Facebook has gone too far in promoting unAmerican interests around the world facilitating as they have Russian advertising and invading privacy of those making Facebook their lives.

Plainly an American corporation that relies upon chat and video stuff without paying users for content should be suspect of commie pinko or extreme royal expropriative tendencies. That is why it should be broken up at least into Red Book and Blue Book with the rest being foreign Russian stuff book material.

It that doesn't work a new chpater named N.R.A. book could be formed with all kinds of cool military and hunting stuff including Tom Clancy games and righteous hunting of domestic commie subversives.

For an alternative subculture a Left-Wing Leninism page could be made for socialist utopians with unlimited access to any sort of cuddly we are lovable stuff with much hate and abuse of right wing moderate figures like Donald Trump. 

Just ideas about promoting free speech.

Credo Ecclesium; a Question of Credibility

The reformed church in removing the chaff of erroneous doctrine may have made the error of regarding its Biblical exegesis as complete or final? What if the Holy Spirit leads one to interpret Genesis as indicating an evolutionary mode implemented within the creation?  The Word may have its meaning revealed or understood when the time is correct.

Because the reformers had no concept of evolution, the interpretation along evolutionary grounds would have been improbable. For those of us that learned science at the same time as the Bible, it may be obvious.

I think the phrase of Calvin's credo in ecclesium vs credo ecclesium may be useful in understanding part of the contemporary problem of faith. People don't believe the church version of creation. It does rely on an old interpretation of scripture. Without coercion at all nor conflict of interest one may interpret Genesis within evolution parameters contingent upon the omnipotence of God for whom all things are completely malleable.

The Extra-Calvinisticum Makes Sense on Platonic Grounds

There was a difference of opinion between Lutherans and Calvinist reformers in Christology regarding The Son as the Logos, Word or Verb of God and Jesus the fully incarnate man. Kenotic theory ran of the opinion that The Son emptied himself entirely into the fleshly incarnate being of Jesus. Calvin believed there was a difference.

The difference is that The Son and Logos, Verb or Word did not entirely transfer himself into the fleshy incarnation of Jesus Christ. If he had then Jesus wouldn't have been able to experience the human experience fully as he did. The juxtaposition of nature in the eternal and heavenly with the worldly and temporal creates implicit difficulties in understanding.

With Plato's theory of forms it is easy to find a solution to the enigma. Jesus as man was like a Universal form making itself into a particular, with the difference being that the particular was the Universal in nature and being, yet limited in the capacities of the Universal as the particular. While the particular fleshy form of Jesus could live as  a man, suffer and be crucified, the fleshy form could not have the vision and perspective of the Universal form.
Jesus as the Word of God, as The Son, would keep the experience of being a man upon return to the Universal form. For Jesus though the Universal form is the being containing all possible sets or forms including Himself as a particular. Upon visiting the disciples after crucifixion and resurrection the Lord Jesus had an ambiguous form neither entirely fleshy nor entirely Universal. A mode of being neither physical and subject to the physical laws of cosmology nor in a form of heavenly non-temporal being that is a metaphysical question for humans.

The Son as the progenitor of all forms was of God, and was with God co-eternally. The Son is God yet a distinct personality-for-others. When the Son became the particular Jesus Christ the form of The Son ineluctably remained while the particular expressed its existence.

The President With the Greatest First Two Years

President Trump claimed to have the greatest first two years in office of any U.S. President. George Washington was the greatest U.S. President, although much what made him the best occurred before he took office. His unwillingness to let let the Presidential Office be more royal followed his leading the Revolutionary Army to victory. President Trump has yet to entirely secure the southern border, though he tries.

 President Trump has withstood more criticism and oppression by opponents than any former U.S.President except perhaps Abraham Lincoln. He has been a tough guy and has strengthened America against legions of those trying to weaken it. Thomas Jefferson however bought the Louisiana territory in 1803 after becoming President in 1801. That purchase made him debateably the greatest U.S. President in the first two years.

No one would mention Andrew Johnson’s purchase of Alaska yet that was not a small accomplishment either. President Trump is a business and sales guy and uses hyperbole and promotion to gain advantages politically for himself and the nation. His opponents call that lying, as if the godless, atheist, left had scruples about lying themselves.

One might consider President Reagan’s turnaround of the economy from the Carter malaise to one of vigor. If one doesn’t like Christians or Russia President Clinton’s first two years accomplished reforming the Cold War for the future in getting Yeltsin to give up Ukraine and Crimea, and burning Christians at Waco Texas, and might be their ticket. President Obama stimulated wars across North Africa and the Middle east after winning a Nobel Peace Prize and gave huge tax cuts to the rich as well as zero interest loans by the trillions to big banks so they could electronically mint trillions. Of course that pales in comparison to his later work in levering homosexual marriage on the nation through state legislatures and the Supreme Court with his judicial appointments; some might like that sort of thing.

President Eisenhower might have done the most in his first two years of anyone. The world was a three ring circus then with chaos and war ubiquitous, and modernity forced technological and scientific changes at home and abroad in economics and society. Eisenhower used the 101st Airborne to integrate schools in Little Rock Arkansas eventually. He was as much of a federalist law enforcer as Abraham Lincoln- who in his first two years had the tough luck of a challenging war and was compelled to fight against national disintegration.

President Kennedy accomplished a lot in three years before his assassination, The Apollo program might be his greatest legacy. He had failures like the Bay of Pigs too, yet I recall his challenge to all Americans to make a 50-mile hike. His expression ‘Ask not what you country can do for you but what you can do for your country’ was as inspirational as ‘when the tide comes in, all of the ships in the harbor rise.’ Kennedy was an inspirational leader.

President Trump has had a solid first two years in office. I would like someone good at ecological economics as President who is nonetheless nationalist, yet those don’t exist. The President is trying a long term rectification of China-U.S. trade that needed work to correct after the decade of U.S. business relocating there while the nation was flooded with illegal aliens etc. So the President is not exactly my idea of the best servant of the people one might find.

He did however appoint two moderately conservative judges and will continue that into a second term hopefully. If his claim to be the greatest ever in his first two years in office falls short of complete accuracy, it is at least consistent with his effort to promote everything American including himself.

Moderation in Human Space Development and Eco-Conservation

When billionaire Jeff Bezos declared the desire to expand human lifestyles into the solar system with a trillion people inhabiting every available niche and construction possible he expressed two human characteristics simultaneously. One was the honorable desire to advance technologically and explore. The second was careless, intemperate disregard of collateral damage to the ecosphere that supports life.

On Earth the ecosphere of the planet is under relentless, sustained attack and degradation from overuse. The concern of Wall Street is for profits with disregard for externalities such as the world outside profit margins. That is why moderation and temperance need return to business through regulation and reform of capitalism such that democracy could be rectified. And the citizens need look to the Democrat party for temperance and reason?

The Democrat Party today is godless and non-rational. Its leadership is incapable of coordinating and balancing its own policies. Its extremes run from Jeff Bezos the billionaire with wild extremist expansion to A.O.C.’s socialist Green New Deal to dole the people with social security and Medicare for everyone while jets are grounded and global warming remedies are forced on the nation while the rest of the world issues compensating carbon dioxide flatus in wonder.

The time frame for correcting the world’s ecosphere decline is presently ticking away. A U.N. report says a million species are threatened with extinction. Wall Street doesn’t understand the web of life and how one species supports another and actually creates a livable ecosphere. For the business people the birds and bees are nice childhood stories to inform youth on how to advance to sex, automobiles, rectilinear homes, shag carpets, social organizations and adulthood watching football. Correcting human ecospheric destruction affects that are inherent in the Human Economic Structure is beyond the ken (nel) of human social reality.

Human Economic Structure engineering is required to correct the most ancient models for human development of exploiting the environment to benefit humanity. Humanity was given the task by God of mastering the ecosphere and its wildlife rather than simple consuming it as bacteria. The H.E.S. need account for rebuilding the ecosphere and its wild denizens as well as using it for human convenience. It is as if humanity not only need enjoy the natural lawn, they need also mow, fertilize and water it.

The Earth presently has a human population of more than seven and a half billion people, and that number is sufficient to have put human survival- or at least ecospheric survival- on a negative growth trajectory. If one were to chart the ecospheric health on a graph, the ecospheric health would be inversely reflecting human population increase. That need be corrected. Human growth should stabilize yet even so the ecospheric decline need be reversed.

The Von Bezos plan for lunatic human expansion in the solar system is the traditional bacterial model of growth overcoming its growth medium. It is a reckless expansion model putting human existence into dangerous and unnecessary volatile and vulnerable condition on the edge of destruction. Moderation is what is required for human development; enlightened moderation with an advanced Human Economic System comprehensive of human economic impact on a given ecosphere.

Consuming the Earth to exhaustion before consuming the solar system to exhaustion is a bacterial business plan rather than human. Humans are about intellect differentiating them from beasts, not larger parts. A human bacterial model of exhausting Earth then exhausting the solar system before seeking new star systems to exhaust is daft and dangerous. Evolution works through natural selection. There are more losers than winners in natural selection. Formerly there were dozens of human like primates and now just one remains. The prospects of just one species representative surviving numerous environmental challenges are very poor. It is better to avoid brinksmanship with just one species rep existing.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/05/10/jeff-bezoss-new-plans-space-have-stirred-up-old-fights-science-fiction/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.94889faa5c18

Human population in the solar system should never exceed 15 billion people more or less. Sticking 20 million on Mars, terraforming Venus, placing a billion in the outer solar system is probably enough. There is no urgent need to exhaust all of the resources of the solar system. Constructing human habitats in space might be convenient to place excess Earth population and a few billion more. And those people would need to visit Earth periodically- at least one year out of five, to maintain human physiological health in Earth-specific gravity and field conditions.

Humanity has grown within a particular gravitational field strength and shape-for gravity fields may perhaps alter in shape. Often people don’t realize how dependent human form is upon the particular gravitational field of the Earth. Without it the natural growth processes of a body are themselves akin to cancer. The relationships of the body’s parts to itself are formed with gravitational governance that when removed changes the entire structural logic- even the anus as the downward terminus of the digestive tract has no gravitational forms moving food waste downward. Excrement would be upwardly mobile-perhaps toward billionaire brains.

A future scenario for human development should have patience. Evolution is done in a day-or a year. A thousand years isn’t much for evolution’s pace. Human development and adaptation to the solar system should utilize several thousand years for reasonable continuity of human thought and sentience while intellectual and physical development continues.

Earth ecospheric systems probably should carry no more than one billion souls at a time with the remainder scattered about the solar system with no more than 15 billion living about it altogether. Women no longer wish to be baby factories once they are prosperous any way. Quality over quantity is important for human development and sustainability. Spiritual growth need occur though bacterial traits remain as in the Von Bezos paradigm.

In the book of Genesis God provided information concerning human origins. Simplistic readings were sufficient in previous generations. Today however with the rise of evolutionary biology and other sciences it is useful to understand the book with deeper insight. It is fundamentally incorporative of evolution directed by God within an unknown paradigm. Since God is omnipotent he has greater control of mass and energy than would a future quantum super-computer able to treat mass and energy as items as malleable as a holographic field created by the quantum super-computer.

Human future development needs to bring the Earth to ecospheric recovery while moderately developing human habitats around the solar system that one day would be able to support total solar system population of 15 billion with just one billion enjoying the Earth at any given time.
