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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
