Conservation of Information

 Information is conserved- Shannon Entropy, and isn't destroyed. Apparently no information is lost; not even if the Universe 'ends'. Matter and energy are convertible and was thought to be neither created or destroyed as well. That raises the interesting point that information is created yet not destroyed permanently (not even in black holes); was information never created (except by God) as well? Did the information of the Universe pre-exist the existence of the Universe?

U.N. Sustainable Development Goals- a comment

 I.M.O. the SDGs are a nice effort that are somewhat unrealistic in that they fail to take account of human nature and the will for power. Original sin may be the thermodynamic criteria that humans are embedded in seeking to consume energy and process it. Politicians seek power, as do consumers mostly allegiant to consumption economic voting at the polls. Free societies tend not to be too interested in altruistic voting over those of personal interest selections. In the U.S.A. for example moral issues and surpassingly race issues prevail as poltical topics over common sense about eliminating poverty.

People that construct global political paradigms concerning the ecosphere's decline tend to work within existing market economies and are subject to it, and I do not believe that market economics and capitalism has ecological interests as a primary concern; that is it will be late at reacting to external environmental stimuli and human crisis via market forces and values. On the other hand, authorianism is the temptation to the wealthy and influential in some ad hoc sort of way. Making environmental economic settings by decree would be the ad hoc tendency and that undermines the strength of non-plutocratic free enterprise to innovate solutions to ecosphere challenges.

President Obama cut taxes on the rich. He made the Bush II tax cuts permanent when all he had to do was nothing and the tax breaks would have expired. Americans are against new taxes because they somewhat rightly don't trust politicans to spend revenues on more than pork. Public debt is more than 30 trillion dollars in the U.S. with a floating currency and technical tax managment to benefit the ecosphere substantially seems not in the cards.

I am not too optomistic about the prospects for environmental economic policies being implmented globally. Just making intelligent green zoning laws and changing bad technology for good tech is nearly impossible. I am glad that some people are trying, yet even the improvments SDG goals can help make seem inadequate and a bit off target insofar as serving as sustainable economic ways of living for billions.

Trying to force moral paradigms of the decadent first world moral systems on 2nd and third world people- especially atheism, is divisive rather than constructive and does great harm to the focus on transforming the world economy to ecological sustainable, realistic methods. Some suspect the U.N. led by Europe and the U.S. are just using globalization to force homosexual marriage and abortion on the rest of the planet while driving them into total control by plutocrats owning most of the world's wealth.

I would think the United States is strong at developing new technology and slack at innovating zoning laws to conserve the ecosphere and biodiversity. People everyplace tramp on the environment- even ordinary people with a surfeit of off-road vehicles, small boats, fish finders etc. Illegal migrants will scour the land for things to sell including plants and rocks. That is survival economics; and economics of necessity. Necessity driving people to interact negatively with the environment isn't likely to end anytime soon.

Being-for-Others (a poem)

Sallow dead fields of October
past medias weft winds slur
benzedrine beans make work purr
bullets and blades then occur
slaughters of death reassure
demon spawn of ancient Ur
-lost majority of Mars
in stars fast falling to Earth.

Logic supports belief in the Lord Jesus rather than not

 It is fashionable in metal music these days to promote disbelief in Jesus Christ. Yet Jesus Christ was historically real. It is one thing to disbelieve that Jesus was the Son of God and another to not believe he lived in the first decades of the first millennium.

Jesus Christ is one of the most historically known people that ever lived. It is possible these days to deny that Elvis ever lived or that Elvis was real because computer simulation spoofing could readily make fake Elvis video and music. Then one can discount eyewitness testimony (as Mathew, Mark, John and others provided and categorize the Lord right up there with fake Apollo moon landings. Yet Jesus was real and his disciple and followers liked him enough to keep detailed written records of his life and works.

Jesus Christ is one of the greatest geniuses that ever lived. I don’t believe that many unbelievers realize the genius of His sayings that a philosopher could categorize as ethics. The Lord was so far ahead of his time that even today none have created a comparable ethical system that is practical. Marcus Aurelius’s stoic Meditations are good to read yet falls far short of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

It is interesting that Jesus is painted with unbelief in music by so many professing atheism who might accept the existence of Sakyamuni (Buddha), of Mohammad, of Zoroaster and even Mani of Manichean fame from the Parthian Empire.

The genius of Jesus Christ extended far beyond ethics obviously. Simply on a secular basis his predictions of the future apocalypse of Israel that occurred after his death (and resurrection) in the first century anno domini is the largest easily recognizable body of prophecy that is 100% accurate ever made.

There were of course prophecies fulfilled by Jesus made by others that occurred before His birth. Those aren’t the prophecies in the book of Matthew that I am referring too.

https://www.biblestudytools.com/bible-study/topical-studies/how-does-matthew-prove-that-jesus-is-the-messiah.html

I am referring to prophecies made by Jesus Christ himself about the fate of Jerusalem in its end time in the first century with fundamental eschatological paradigmata in Matthew 24:3-28.

“3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for [a]all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, [b]pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the [c]elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.

26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”

In Matthew 29 Jesus refers to His second coming. The topic is complex and has been misunderstood by many. The Reverend Kenneth Gentry has a good brief article on the topic.

Create a Civilian Medal for Covid 19 Front line Service Workers

 While in office President Biden should consider issuing a Medal for Front Line Workers during the pandemic. Recognition for those that performed important civil tasks while Covid 19 was ubiquitous is worth making. Like the Army Service ribbon and the Sect Def’s civilian Medal for Valor a Covid 19 civilian front line worker campaign medal could remind the public of those that worked on the line during the pandemic.

Like Ye, Demos May be Deplatformed

  Deplatforming political and social opponents is a ubiquitous power bling in the U.S.A. these days. Ye (the artist formerly known as Kanye West) recently was deplatformed by the corporate world including the German company Adidas because of his free expression of ideas that corporate said were anti-Semitic. Ye didn’t back down or apologize for making so many statements about Jews.

https://www.adl.org/resources/blog/unpacking-kanye-wests-antisemitic-remarks

Because the internet of things is a collection of privately owned (mostly) servers that plug in and corporations that own social media sites generally free expression is limited to statements that don’t offend the profit and power agenda of the corporate world. If an individual’s statements or posts are antipathetic to the corporate guideline the offender is then ‘deplatformed” after a few warnings to kow tow in some cases.

Congressional deplatforming occurs through elections mostly, unlike corporate deplatforming that is in no way democratic. Because Congresspersons curry favor with the rich and corporations for their own benefit the Congress hasn’t developed platforms that citizens can post their ideas on without fear of being deplatformed for failing to be a sycophant of those with deep pockets. That is one of the reasons why the nation’s political system is becoming a democracy-republic more symbolically than factually as it morphs into corporatocracy and plutocratic hybridization.

Ye’s ideas about Jews aren’t like those of Hitler’s in Mein Kampf. They are instead expressions from the school of wrong ideas that arose culturally among poor American blacks I suppose. Ye said that blacks are the real Jews and the true descendants of the twelve tribes of Israel. I believe Elisha Mohammad expressed comparably wrong ideas about the origin of the white ‘race’ through selective breeding long ago. The expression of wrong or inaccurate ideas shouldn’t result in deplatforming. For one thing corporate censors sometime aren’t too bright and would know a linguistic plosive from a labial consonant, vellar fricative or explosive like C4. Because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely the social media reflects corporate values for concentrating wealth preponderantly rather than being a marketplace of ideas for a democratic society that is interested in progress, efficiency, and infrastructural change to adapt intelligent technique to challenges.

If wrong ideas are sufficient to have one’s writing ‘deplatformed’ those ideas must also be politically popular to be repressed already. Because corporate yet has a lot of people producing greenhouse gas global warming deniers aren’t being deplatformed though their ideas are wrong. If wrong ideas alone were the test for deplatforming the Congress itself would risk deplatforming. Adolph Hitler would have deplatformed Ye for being black and being a Jew (or claiming to be). If Ye was alive in the 1940s he could have gone to Auschwitz unless he denied being a Jew. Ironically the German corporation that deplatformed Ye has more in common with Hitler than the founders of the United States that respected free speech and felt it was a necessity for democracy.

Speaker Pelosi’s husband was a victim recently of a deplatforming attempt by someone with antipathetic political ideas presumably. If another Mission Impossible is made it could have the topic of deplatforming as a plot at the highest level and that might seem a conspiracy too far. Deplatforming is the corporate delete key that the mafia might wish to have. "Alright Bugsy; you gonna go out and deplatform that guy; see?"

Alaska's U.S. Rep Supports Global Warming, Abortion and Homo Marriage

 Alaska's temporary U.S. Representative is a Democrat who must support homosexual marriage and abortion or she would be deplatformed. Evidently she is also in favor of global warming because she supported fossil fuel development on the North Slope National Petroleum Reserve (23 million acres). She is an Alaska native and female though, so morality and political points are comparatively inconsequential. In the U.S.A. today race is what matters for corporate sensibilities if it helps deplatform conservative Americans.

https://sdgs.un.org/goals UN Sustainable Development Goals

Alaskans certainly need good jobs. Accelerating global warming with high Arctive drilling producing exhaust at high latitude and supplying the nation with fossil fuel for decades ahead seems wrong. The state may lose a lot of waterline real estate as sea level rises from global warming later this century. The effects of global warming are visible every day increasingly.

The state should find a poliotician with real ideas to create 1000 new good paying jobs for the slope and interior that isn't harmful to the environment. It is possible.

Politicians are a specieis that prefer immediate rewards rather than disciplined and well informed reasonable planning unfortunately. That means the worst of things are embedded in the future like snow built up and disregarded above roads that is likely to slide.

Rep. Peltola probably will be re-elected because two Republican candidates will split the vote. A lack of intellegence can determine who wins elections.
