Meaning of Exist, Real and Absolute Philosophically Speaking

 Was it Kierkegaard who hated the use of the word 'absolute'? That word is derived from absolve that means to free from blame. Most people don't use it that way. He didn't like Hegel's work much and Hegel used the word quite a bit. It doesn't add any meaning to anything really. Absolute is used as a sort of super adjective. For instance in Hegel's 'Realms of Absolute Spirit' (if I recall correctly that book is a kind of abbreviation of the Phenomenology of Mind). It is one of the more over-used words in philosophy, or was. Exist does stand apart. It means one is talking about the condition of being itself. Exist is a basic philosophical word; one of reflection on being. Real is a comparable term although perhaps a lesser one. It seems to mean that something does exist.

Diversity of Life Declines

A naturalist I read quite a while ago said that the most successful life forms are those that exist the most time, through disasters and mass extinctions and those are prokaryotes I believe it was. He said that large complex life forms like humans are far more vulnerable and tend to be short lived in the context of time. It's an interesting idea. The meek shall inherit the Earth.

If the Universe is deterministic that is consistent with deterministic evolution following a Hegelian or Designer's schematic, and obviously that is one of a large set of possibilities with a degree of uncertainty. If the future already exists and thought switches to an appropriate universe at each disjunct one should expect an infinite variety of apparent rather than actual evolutionary forms to appear to comprise the right elements for the thought.

Universal Basic Income Should be a Doge Priority

It might prevent a lot of crimes and costs of incarceration. It could replace unemployment compensation, food stamps, etc and enhance efficiency. Should phase out at a third of the average income so people have a motivation to work.

Maybe it would make it easier for vets to transition to the civilian economy. It could nearly end homelessness; a million people were homeless in 2024.

Echoes of Ascension

Some people on S.S.I. that could work won't look for a job because it can take a long time to get it, and if a job ends for whatever reason they won't get the S.S.I. again since they showed they were able UBI would stop that cycle.

So many government programs cost a lot to operate with staff that could be reduced with UBI. Consider how many hearing officer bureaucrats that are well paid to adjudicate claims that could be eliminated.

Some Americans would rather not let people they don't like work because work and earnings make for a better life. They know cheap illegal labor and foreign college educated people cacan be imported so they couldn't care less if people are unemployed. UBC would let discriminated citizens have more lateral mobility to explore for a break in the maladjusted insider network defenses that exist to prevent people from working

Faith vs Original Sin/Matthew 18:2-3

 Sin means to miss the mark of.

The famous analogy is that of an archer missing the bullseye.

Humanity is in a containment facility for the sin of the first people. They came to reach self awareness and were as little Gods. That is the learned the difference between good and evil unlike animals that simply kill and eat without sin. Humans were given a temporal existence with brief life spans. God did not want people to live forever with their willful disobedience.

Children are born with original sin and are in the thermodynamic field inputting energy to exist. Most perped sins besides the original are related to that.

Children though have naive trust in their parents and faith in them (unless the parents are wicked, abusive or neglectful). Becoming as little children probably means having true faith in Christ-regardless of what sophists and scoffers say.

Matthew 18:2-3, which says, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven”. 

Salient Wars of Democrat Presidents Since 1960

 The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was the upgrade to real war.Vietnam was a Democrat war. Eisenhower had only sent military aid with 700 soldiers to field it. Then he left office. Kennedy sent 16,000 advisers and they incurred the first US casualties. Then Johnson, another Democrat, sent a half million with more than 58,000 becoming dying there.

There is a bit more to the history of Democrats and war since Kennedy. Carter was different through. As a nuclear engineer on a submarine with ICBMs he well understood the need to avoid war. Clinton though bungled the end of the Cold War and took Ukraine away from Russia. Good historians noted that would be a problem for the future. It was the seed sewn for the present Ukraine conflict. He encouraged expansion of NATO instead of better relations with Russia.

Clinton also involved himself in the Balkan conflict and the US went to war with Serbia. That tilted the balance toward Muslim terror expansion.

President Obama was a coordinator for the Syrian Civil War that cost more than 600,000 lives. He was an organizer and financier besides providing weapons and training. The he took a Kinetic Military Action, as his SecDef called it, against Moamar Gaddafi’s Libya who had signed a treaty with the Bush administration. That brought chaos and a haven for terrorists after the death of Gaddafi. He isn’t responsible for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars that he inherited.

President Biden has rejected every opportunity to find peace with Russia and has applied every sanction possible on Russia. He has allowed US missiles to be launched into Russia, has contributed 174 billion dollars in weapons and finance to Ukraine and may be behind the sinking of Civilian ships of Russia transporting oil and technology. He is also providing intelligence to the Zelinski regime that has stayed in office beyond his elected term of office by suspending elections. Zelinski is lowering the draft age to 18 to force another 500,000 Ukrainians to the front lines. Russia is a nuclear state and forcing the war to continue instead of settling in in place runs a good chance of developing a nuclear war.

If Russia were losing ground and or NATO attacks Russia people will use nuclear weapons to stand. Biden has given Ukraine another 3 and a half dollars worth of weapons this month. World War 3 is not acceptable and normal relations should be restored with Russia asap to make for a better economy and work for a peaceful, verdant world.

Build A Baseball Hall of Deplorables Annex

Create a Hall of Fame Annex for deplorables. It could have all the stars banned from the side with those that would be welcome in the Harper Valley P.T.A. I saw Rod Carew steal second, third and home; he could be an honorary member.

Shoeless Joe Jackson, Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens; without those players in the Hall the math doesn’t add up.

News of the Dog Star Cult

 Transcript from the Dog Star Cult. “When the Big Bag spilled it’s guts and hyper inflated a split second later faster than light because the field expansion was quicker than particles of it tangling themselves up with mass confusion in a manner of speaking the swag was glommed up in fields breaking apart with traceable elements relativity detectives could use to trace the heist. Nobody in the unbelievers mob thought any big brain intelligence spilled the beans of the Big Bag and were unconcerned with police finding the m.o. or pros that took it for themselves”.
