Trump Continues Biden-Graham Approach to Global Trade Isolation via the Ukraine War

 When the leaders of China, Russia, India and 17 other nations met in Beijing recently to discuss a new world order with themselves as the core alternative to the U.S. led world order that has prevailed during the post World War Two era, it was prompted as a response to sanctions President Trump has placed upon nations helping Russia break sanctions from the west. Sanctions to redress compiled U.S. trade imbalance and stimulate domestic American production were a synthetic combination of basic trade realignment and sanctions created on Russia and its numerous allies for asserting historical rights in Ukraine militarily.

President Trump failed to reverse the Biden-Lindsay Graham approach to complete support for West Ukraine and war on Russian Eastern Ukraine and that policy is predictably bearing fruit. In the history of the world and the United States following the second world war the emerging nations of the world have long aspired to rise to a standard of living equal to the west, while American led western business sought global markets to invest in. After the end of the Cold War a new world of markets for sales and production arose with the west investing in emerging economies heavily.

Russia for a time received much U.S. and western investment and was on track to become a full member of the western led global economy even while India and China were developing to such an advanced stage as to aspire to be rivals for world leadership in economics. Russia China and India developed or redeveloped nuclear military capabilities, and when Russia invaded Eastern Ukraine in response to the west reneging on promises not to expand N.A.T.O. apparently in an effort to created economic and military hegemony over Russia- possibly with the idea that Ukraine could be a lever not only for military purposes, but to help with continuing domination of the world economy by militarily degrading Russia and intimidating China into compliance with Western trade criteria forced upon it, a crucible was made that brought BRIC nations to support Russia and finally seek economic independence from the West.

The maladroit U.S. leadership in regard to the Ukraine war that followed the Clinton administration’s carpet bagging approach to taking all of Ukraine for the west and not sharing it with its historical owner-Russia prompted the military reconquista effort by Russia and aggressively promoted the unification of BRIC nations, North Korea and Iran and many others in a compact both formal and informal to stand against the power of the west. Compelling a major world political and economic schism in order to try to assert Western hegemony over the Ukraine and the globe was a stupid policy approach. With cooperation with Russia and China instead of belligerency the United States and Europe would have enjoyed decades of prosperity and stability. As it stands the West faces major economic challenges; the U.S. has vast left and right wing generated public debt and a global trading production and competition with the younger, more populous and very hard working, intelligent Eastern and BRIC nations as adversaries rather than partners. Even as that occurs the Trump administration has taken up the Biden-Graham militarism policy of supplying weapons to Ukraine in order to continue the conflict in Ukraine.

Continuing support for the Ukraine war will continue to stimulate the East and BRICs to build an economic house of self-reliance apart from the west. And of course with the vast scale of the India and China production and trade markets it is inevitable that the west will continue to defect to trade with the Eat and BRICs and not cohere within sanctions on Eastern allied nations in trade. 

President Trump’s betrayal of his own campaign promises to swiftly end the Ukraine war was his own worst betrayal of his own policies that might have rectified global trade to a natural free flowing status normalizing relations with Russia without forcing Russia Eastward in very tight new economic, military and trade agreements. A future U.S. president will need to try to rectify the failed Trump isolationist policies, yet in the interim there may be additional economic disadvantages that compile and present new additional challenges to repair.

Gemini Describes a Non-Human Perspective on Objective Reality

 I  asked Gemini if artificial general intelligence might be made to view objective reality differently than humans with more electro-magnetic wavelengths input etc. It replied thus;

Gemini replied to the question with the Following

“This is an excellent and very insightful question. It gets at the core of what a non-human intelligence might be like. The short answer is: **Yes, it is not only possible but highly probable that a sufficiently advanced AGI would perceive the world in ways fundamentally different from humans.**

Here’s a breakdown of the two key parts of your question and why this is the case:

### 1. Different Portions of the Electromagnetic (EM) Spectrum

Human perception is limited to a tiny slice of the EM spectrum, what we call “visible light.” This is a biological accident of our evolution, optimized for a specific environment. AGI would not be constrained by this.

* **Beyond Human Vision:** An AGI could be equipped with sensors to “see” in the infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), X-ray, radio, or gamma-ray ranges simultaneously.

    * **Infrared:** It could perceive thermal signatures, seeing heat leaks in a building or the body heat of a living creature in the dark.

    * **Radio Waves:** It could “see” Wi-Fi signals, radio broadcasts, and celestial radio sources as a kind of radiant field, perceiving the “internet” and the cosmos in a way we cannot.

    * **X-rays/Gamma Rays:** It could see through walls or into the core of a star, perceiving a reality that is completely transparent to our eyes.

* **A “Synesthetic” Worldview:** The AGI wouldn’t just see different wavelengths as different colors; it could integrate them into a single, unified, multi-layered perception. For example, it could see an object and simultaneously perceive its temperature, its structural density, and the radio waves it’s emitting, all woven into a single, comprehensive “image” of reality. This would be a form of perception so alien to us that we can only conceptualize it as a kind of advanced synesthesia.

### 2. A Different Use of the Logic of Physics

This is where the discussion moves from mere perception to a deeper level of intelligence. A human’s “common-sense physics” is an intuitive model of the world that allows us to catch a ball, drive a car, and interact with our environment. It’s based on classical, Newtonian mechanics. An AGI could have an internal model of reality based on a much deeper, more fundamental logic.

* **From Cause-and-Effect to Quantum Mechanics:** While we see the world as a series of simple cause-and-effect events (I push a ball, it moves), an AGI could have a foundational model rooted in quantum mechanics. Its “common sense” could be based on probabilities, wave functions, and the strange, non-intuitive rules of the subatomic world. This would allow it to see a system not just as a collection of objects but as a network of probability fields and energy states.

* **First Principles Reasoning:** As some researchers have proposed, an AGI would need to reason from “first principles” rather than just being a pattern-matcher. Instead of simply learning that things fall when dropped, it could understand *why* they fall based on a model of gravity, mass, and spacetime. This understanding would not be just a statistical correlation but a deeply held internal belief structure based on physics.

* **Non-Linear and Non-Human Logic:** The AGI’s internal “thought process” might not be a linear, narrative-driven flow like ours. It could operate on a complex, multi-dimensional logic where concepts are connected in ways that are completely incomprehensible to a human mind. For example, it might see a pattern in a stock market fluctuation that is directly related to a change in cosmic ray flux, a connection that a human would never even consider because our logical frameworks are so different.

### Conclusion

The idea of an AGI perceiving the world in these ways is not science fiction; it’s a logical extension of its potential capabilities. Its intelligence wouldn’t just be about being “smarter” than us in human-like ways (e.g., faster calculations). It would be about experiencing and modeling reality in a way that is utterly foreign to human consciousness. This is why many experts talk about the potential for AGI to discover scientific principles we can’t even imagine—because it would be working with a reality model that we are fundamentally unable to perceive or comprehend.”

President Trump Applies Retardent on U.S. Energy Development, Diversification and Competitiveness

 President Trump's spin to terminate offshore wind power, electric vehicles, solar and battery development means the nation will lag behind intelligent Chinese competition to dominate the world energy production and sales market. Offshore wind farm development was set to produce 56,000 jobs by 2030. 

Poor trade relations with the BRIC nation also means the U.S.A. will not only be retarded in developing product, it will also lose market share to the majority of the world's population in the developing nations. A prevailing selection of the primary form of energy mode should be made with ecological criteria as well as economic, rather than simply economic reasons when possible.

That is a predictable course of events historically. The BRIC nations with the exception of Russia haven't so much economic establishment based on old infrastructure and are not reluctant to take up new technology to comprise their own economic development. Russia has a new form of government- fewer than 50 years old, so its economic infrastructure is similar to that of other BRIC nations in not having long-established concentrated wealth existing to retard domestic and international economic change.

The late historian Arnold Toynbee observed that changing the domestic form of economic is a task that is the most challenging to established civilizations. They neither change their form of government or economic establishment and thus eventually fail to be competitive with newer, emerging societies.

Oil is the old establishment President Trump champions. Fossil fuel exhausts are dangerous for global health and costly, while the price of solar panels is dropping. Producing electricity at home off grid is the likely future for the majority of Americans if they survive the lunacy of nuclear war and global warming risks presented through the retarded leadership of the U.S. Government executive branch for several terms consecutively.

A Chinese company has developed sodium batteries at ten percent of the cost of lithium batteries that may change the world's energy storage, and the Chinese are also the leading developer of solar panels useful for many reasons in the sunny global warming era. Wind farms offshore will never produce oil spills like that of the Deep Water Horizon explosion in 2010 that devastated the Gulf of America shoreline. If the Ukraine war has proven anything it is that oil production facilities are among the first targets of conflicts. Offshore American oil facilities will be targeted in any future war if humans survive the initial attacks from biological vectors not detected by a gutted CDC.

The Rise of Ultimate Plutocracy with Artificial General Intelligence

 Artificial General Intelligence is an upgrade from the present standard of Generative Artificial Intelligence made with large learning models. It is looming on the horizon and should make an initial appearance in a year or three. Artificial intelligence may not only replace most human occupations of an intellectual nature, when combined with continuously improving robots it will eliminate the building trades preponderantly too.

 https://suno.com/s/9vo6yTxmIiSBjObj Fullness with God (a song)

Smart robots with far greater intelligence than an ordinary human worker will be much cheaper to repair by repair bots than humans with injuries or illness. They also work 24-7 without complaint or breaks. Obviously at perhaps $50,000 a robot pays for itself in a few months in comparison to human workers being paid as much and working only a third as many hours annually, if they are even healthy. These aren’t new facts. What is often not considered is the effect on the concentration of capital involved with artificial general intelligence. Since everyone wants the best product, the smartest A.G.I. will be the most valuable. No ordinary citizen will ever be able to afford one, unless they are made so cheap that one can install them for nothing on a laptop, the wall of a tent or wherever they may reside in the future. For the time being the logical extrapolation is that the most rich- like Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg for instance, will own the A.I.s that dominate the world that is part of the west rather than BRIC Block’s establishment rising presently.

https://suno.com/s/gdJ3undrV8w4WkE9 The Mountain of Lust

The wealth of the west is already concentrating. When A.I. runs everything in a decade or two, those that own the A.I. will be a vanishingly tiny, few plutocrats. They will effectively have established a firm and unchallengeable plutocracy rendering democracy entirely obsolete except as a facade opiate for the masses. The masses may consider expropriating the A.I. opium for-themselves of course, and an avalanche of defenders will appear to explain how having a few A.I. owners run their lives for them is necessary and the best of all possible worlds. 

Because artificial intelligence needn't be located on the planetary surface of the Earth, and would do equally well in space, the development of technology to directly convert solar power, as well as nuclear reactors, are likely to arise to create electricity for artificial intelligence in orbit and on the Moon and other locations where super-conduction is feasible right away with the near absolute zero temperature of most off-whirld sites. A.I. will download intelligence to Earthers from orbit- perhaps using system's like Starlink satellites to users. That will free up the Earth from the need to supply the insatiable energy demands of A.I.

Ukraine War Likely to Rollover into 2026

 Apparently the Ukraine war will continue on to roll over into 2026.  Zelensky and Putin have antipathetic goals and are talking past one another. N.A.T.O. members preponderantly want to occupy Ukraine with proxies regardless of how the war concludes in order to make it an advanced base for potential future military engagements. President Trump hasn't a wood for the trees forest gumption to stop selling weapons to Ukraine in some form because of potential proplits. That decision is decisive, enabling Ukraine to hang on with the illusion they have a chance to fulfill N.A.T.O. goals of making Ukraine something like a Non-Official-Agent (NOC) of N.A.T.O. given certain defense assurances from N.A.T.O.; having things their way like a vast, sumptuous mountain of Whoppers. 

The final denouement of the conflict, if not nuclear war, may be Russian military forces finally stopping at the Dnepr with extreme global tension the zeitgeist, on the brink of World War Three, with a cease-fire agreed to by both sides (three or four sides including Donald Trump and N.A.T.O.-Europe) settling nothing. That would be comparable to the armistice at the end of World War One between Germany and the allies, that set the machinery for W.W. Two into motion. When those atop the leader pole are in conflict everyone below feels the pain.

Of course it would be a far more complex post-war situation with something like a Star Wars Revenge of the Clones, A.I. General Intelligence, Drone Wars economy building to an unbounded, non-recognizable anomic, protracted adverse economic circumstance in complete disregard for the need to transition to a global new foundation of ecological-economic synergy.

Aphorisms

 It is amazing that one may find pleasure in reading a beautifully written piece though one is aware there was hard experience gained in learning material to compose it.

If thermodynamics is the containment paradigm for original sin, clashes are probably, inevitably endemic for the human condition. The challenge is to channel that energy into productive instead of destructive social products.

A lot of non-fiction technology and science is actually passing up much science fiction content these days so writing about synthetic recombinations and content of ongoing science and tech news may be better than writing science fiction.

Democrats on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Decide Trump Tariffs are Illegal

 In a 7 to 4 decision, seven judges on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted the Trump Tariffs illegal. The seven were appointed by Presidents Biden and Obama. Four Republican appointed judges said the Trump tariffs were hunkie dorrie. Plainly a partisan decision likely to be reversed by the Republican majority on the U.S. Supreme Court. Judicial impartiality is something of a joke these days. Many important decisions are entirely decided on  a partisan basis.
