Changes for Door Designs

 I gave a thought to doors recently, and decided they are underutilized spaces. That is, doors might be more multi-functional. So what purposes would occur to someone with all of the chip tech available etc?

Making solid core doors from various soft and hardwoods that are solid does raise the cost quite a bit. It isn’t so difficult to manufacture those however, provided one has wood and trees available locally for that purposes obviously. I was thinking beyond that, or having artists use routers to customize door blanks with various designs and carvings. Some would prefer  doors to have an exterior solar voltaic surface empowering motion sensor activated light designs.

Electronic changes to door compilations are most obvious to me. Of course one might use liquid crystal displays to convert doors into programmable visual displays. Alternatively one might have panels that change colors or permit the homeowner to have a large one-way view of who or what is on the other side through a variety of technologies. A door might be a pace to embed interior and exterior temperature and barometric pressure displays, or large message for whomever might read it. A door code be a place to have face recognition, or to have a face recognition, or profile recognition system to audible announce who is at the door to inform the home owner or renter what I outside.

A door might be made, with inherent AI, to converse with someone outside and keep a message from them if one isn’t home, is busy or unavailable. Plainly a door could call 9-11 if it is made to monitor interior or exterior spaces and observes behavior or circumstances that require attendance by emergency responders. I suppose that is as far as I would go on developing ideas for a business direction I don’t intend to travel.  It is up to others to decide how much time they want to spend talking to their door or how smart it should be. A coffee cup that maintains a constant, select  beverage temperature would be a useful device to consider...

About the Recrudescence of Socialism

There are political and economic cycles in history. A trend towards socialism in the Democratic party is a natural development. Socialism is the traditional remedy to the concentration of wealth in a void of intelligent ideas within democracy or the opportunity for a democracy to exist and produce high taxes on those with concentrated wealth. There is a scale of equilibrium or balance in politics  and economics- a history over the past couple of centuries between over concentration of wealth and socialism/communism. Socialism is the gross economic remedy the masses use to liberate the concentration of wealth from a minority. Socialism for itself is economically moribund, uncreative and minimally productive. It is a war policy in effect great at redistributing power and wealth though minimally progressive in economics.

The masses tend to be sycophants of dominant policies at either end of the scale for a while- not wishing to seems to be enemies of the ascending economic policy. That promotes totalization to those extremes of concentration of wealth or concentration of socialist power to entirely eliminate private property. That was the condition of the mature socialist state of Soviet Russia under Joseph Stalin,.

Socialism is the default economic policy of correction to the over concentration of wealth. 

Yet, it is not a substitute for competent government. 

It is not a true economic policy. 

It is a policy of redistribution. 

It is quite obvious and manifestly evident that since the Reagan Administration, Neither party and the United States, The Democrat or Republican have been able to balance a budget or increase taxes on the rich effectively With public debt at more than 30 trillion dollars and interest on the debt. 

More than a trillion dollars annually. 

With neither party willing or able to Create an economic program policy that could balance the budget. 

Without draconian changes to government, Socialism appears In the absence of competent economic ideas and policies for the Democrat Party that have prevailed since at least Socialism is the sole economic policy, it's an easy policy to imagine to sell. 

It does kill free enterprise economics. 

It does stagnate economic development. 

It creates Tax flight refuges. 

It can take over existing businesses and industries, Yet they just stagnate. 

The creativity is gone, the motivation to help oneself is gone. 

When socialism appears Creativity and free enterprise die. 

Socialism sometimes May coexist with a mixed economy that still permits free enterprise. 

Yet, the natural tendency for the bureaucrats And the politics of people totally bought into socialism Is to blame every economic problem the nation faces on the remaining free enterprise and private enterprise businesses with wealth, And so gradually, those businesses, are brought to extinction. 

The first Soviet leader,  Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, is a good example of the way that socialism,  took over existing business, from the Tsar, imperialism and a mixed economy. 

That is, if not, only did the Imperial government have wealth. Russia had private enterprise as well, imperial estates and business. Socialism when it was brought to the Russians, and Russia was relabeled the Soviet Union appeared as the correction to concentrated wealth. The state took over everything methodically over time- fairly quickly. Lenin discovered the inability of communist government to operate existing industries after the conquest of socialism. industries closed down or operated with low efficiency and markets were eliminated for state allocations of resources. He moderated pure socialism with mixed free enterprise ownership for a while before he died of a succession of strokes. The problems of pure socialism being immediately forced upon a country were evident, So he started the new economic policy (NEP). 

Stalin and and Supporters became tired of Lennon's Mixed economic program and decided simply to take it over. Within a couple of years after Stalin’s rise following Lenin’s death most of the old guard revolutionary communist alumni were liquidated. Stalin became the new and only face of Russian state socialism. Fundamentally he forced people to work or be sent to the Gulag sharing the motto above Auschwitz’ gate “Work Makes You Free’.  

The Kulakization program shrank farming enterprise fundamentally made it illegal for a farmer to own three cows. He was permitted just one. State run collective farming became the rule over time. Farmers were shrunk in size and property areas, Holdings, And Relocated in many cases and several million deaths. 

With some adaptation from the west and native engineering excellence the Soviet Union reached the modern world- yet a very consumer unfriendly one. That direction was non-creative and non-productive, and eventually the Soviet Union was not able to compete economically with the West. Sentiments of the public moved toward Levi's, rock and roll music and the free enterprise models the free West.  With Glasnost and Perestroika the Soviet Union faded away.

Requiem for Utopia (the poem)

 

Life kept seeking optimal solutions
arising through darkness
a light in the night
subsurface remedies reaching the day

While everywhere death is degenerately abundant
flinging destruction like waves of lava
inexorably surging forward
providing heat for those roasting marshmallows

Golden rations of golden boughs
Anaximandering chords of creation
recombinant plasmas
parameters of probabilities

Prime movement motion to meaning
fullness like filaments of reason
flickering with a wind
winding up lines in pyroclastic patterns

Still the course sought is not
without dreaming, easily brought
into realms of being becoming
aggregate, solidified paths

The light one sees in the darkness
in the most bleak nights
is a Word surpassing time
with whispers to the heart.

Adaptive Brightness (poem)

 

For some reason
solitary refinement is a plastered ceiling
with days congealing
painted surfaces running down in beautiful rain

  Clear drops of water
meaningless as fogs and vapors
steaming and meaning the star’s shine works
with all of the black holes of destiny

  Breaking on through
wildlife sightings
kites transfer charges true windowed
stickers on one side to another

  Free electrons at last
free outlasting days of nights
tortures of censures
rented treble clefts

  Adaptive brightness like
dances of arthritic hippie tricks
-a reflecting pool of cleaner bleach
evaporated green life unto the sky.

Russia is the Independent Pivotal Ally of Global Strategic Balance

 In the post-Cold War tripartite power balance between super-powers China, The United States and Europe, Russia is the pivotal ally that determines the weight on the scale of the balance of power. That fact has largely been ignore since the end of the Cold War by the west that view Russia as the sole defunct challenge to Europe and the west and China as more or less a distant concern of the United States. Thus Europe and select U.S. leaders have felt free to advance N.A.T.O. toward the Russia borders in converting N.A.T.O. from a necessary defense force of resistance to the Soviet Union into a European Union military organization serving to build up the European Union to the state of a global super-power and regarding the Ukraine as the first fruits of Europe’s new age colonialism.

What was ignored in the irrational exuberance of the rise of the European Union and its claim upon the formerly Russian land of Ukraine was the effect a protracted military and economic battle with Russia over Ukraine would have on the global balance of power. China has an economy equal in gross national product to the United States, and its prospects for growth exceed those of the United States in that rapid industrial growth outpacing the west is likely to continue until the average income of Chinese is equal to that of those of the west. That means its overall G.D.P may exceed that of the United States and the European Union combined. With its larger population its military budget will scale up too. The Ukraine war has alienated Russia from the west and driven that nation entirely into very close military, technical and business relationships with China.

The close relationship of Russians and Chinese driven by sanctions and war upon Russia has also created a tighter BRIC economic relationship that lays outside the G-8. The G-8 is primarily the European Union, the United States and Japan. A world military and economic division has been engendered by the Ukraine conflict. Iran as a neo-ally of Russia was an extra-territorial weapons supplier to Russia from exports of drones and missiles. Reducing Iran’s weapons production technology has paradoxically coincided with an increase in the EU provisioning of rockets and drones to the Ukraine/EU side of the war while the EU and the Democrat Party of the United States plus Sen. Lisa Murkowski have opposed the war to end Iranian prospects for enriching weapons grade Uranium and rockets and drones able to deliver nuclear weapons packages along target vectors.

Russia will be China’s reliable oil, gas and natural resource supplier will China is able to manufacture components for weapons systems for Russia to use in Ukraine. In some respects the Third World War has already started on a slow burn course of development. At some point China may feel emboldened to attack Taiwan- a strategic mistake since the valuable Taiwanese chip economy would be destroyed and the Chinese economy would suffered devastating infrastructure losses from missile and drone attacks on key industries, power and transportation. Yet China would not even consider that aggression of Russia were an ally or a fully integrated economic partner of the west without sanctions and with Ukraine shared between the EU and Russia along the Dnepro River- possible with East and West Ukraine being tax free import/export nations.

The Ukraine War is the E.U.''s First World War

 The Ukraine war is the first major war of the European Union. Russian Ukraine is the object of its attack (President Bill Clinton having placed and held the football for kickoff of Ukraine conflict under British direction). The U.S. military is the best weapon in the E.U. arsenal for the time being. The EU and its military Department of War- N.A.T.O., is a little uncertain and lacks a little confidence in the reliability of its American weapon so it is building up its own.

The Ukraine war is stimulating a conventional weapons arms race. Virtually everything with a motor can be converted into a weapon of war- potentially even toasters. Finding applications for remote controls and AI to pilot and aim weapons carried aboard platforms from ATVs to self driving mobile bridges, remote control drive trucks and trailers, self-loading trucks with pallets on rollers, thousands of atvs carrying weapons and driving across rivers and up the banks to the other side, Drones following roads and guided by terrain association, drone submarines carrying drone atv landing craft able to launch hundreds of 4-wheelers with weapons racing up a beach in the night; the war is a stimulus for a cornucopia of mass-produced, low cost weapons and fore multipliers that may, with the anti-providence of the EU, restore a global Cold War configuration and revolutionary battles to Africa and the rest of the world that don’t even want it.

The European Union emergence has occurred in the same space-time continua as the rise of artificial intelligence and chips able to support the independently disruptive technology. Virtually any machine or electronic device may be joined with AI and AI agents and applied to new uses. The West and even the world have rarely examined seriously, with circumspection, contemplated potential ramifications of fielding new technologies beyond theoretical market effects. Just market potential and inherent risks of a new technology in-itself (such as flammable underwear and night clothes) are considered-only the proximal dangers. A.I. however, while the risks it poses as a terrorists risk for-itself directly harming individuals and civilization, is a science fiction trope and have been extensively considered and dismissed by market draft and financial power, hasn’t been considered as a secondary catalyzing agent for innovating and inventing a cornucopia of new devices synthetically upgraded with AI.

Synthetic A.I. upgrades of existing technology; the recombinant packaging of materials for inventions, are so numerous and plentiful in war and peace technologies that the disruptive capability is transcendent and beyond the capacity of reasonable levels of consumer product review or Department of War research lab overview of potential latent threats to U.S. security. A.I. chips with A.I. agents will create the blooming of a vast range of applications to existing machinery and electronic devices such that are presently unforseeable. It is unfortunate that the EU’s Ukraine war is leading the way for the disruptive, transcendent technology that is a value added phenomenal upgrade to all existing human technology of the toolkit of civilization.

Europeans have never resisted the urge to war. Intense national rivalries over borders is natively European tradition like a Down’s Syndrome morphed into the dark side of the force to Satanism. Their peace movement was fueled by the U.S. and Russian victory in the Second World War for more than a half century, yet with the Cold War end and the emergence of the EU concurrent with the post-communist Russia, traditional European hell bent for war boundary and political power contention is find a new birth in the form of the European Union and its first adolescent test of strength; its horns of mating as it were urging it to but heads with a rival, is more or less a world war with Russia. Russia in turn may be required to field emp air defense weapons to protect oil refineries. If it is possible directed emp pulses pointed skyward might stop drones in flight, and with drones, the war may stimulate mass use of electro-magnetic pulse blasts launched from mobile drone land attack platforms on Ukraine and European cities.

The U.S. military industrial complex and those of others are weapons producers that need a war to sell weapons. It hasn’t a real logic about U.S. national interests, instead it is a matter of units and profit and requires a general objective other enemy that was Russia and China for the better part of the last century. It will not seek opportunities for peace and civilian infrastructure and cultural progress.

President Trump may prefer peace, and Russia and China may prefer mixed free enterprise since even China has learned that free enterprise works far better than state operated business, yet the EU and the military industrial weapons manufacturing complex requires Russia and China to be either Imperial or Soviet restorationists, or simply new economic era Geo-political expansionist mirroring the latent, emergent policy of the EU. The Ukraine war is necessarily the EU’s first world war as the conflict in Ukraine is a test of it emergent, independent military strength free of U.S. control that existed since 1945 over it.

AI is a Disruptive Military as Well as Economic Influence

 Conventional military balances and assessments by analysts in regard to power will be overturned potentially, by the disruptive power of A.I. and AI agents to control machines and detonation devices while infiltrating in countless ways behind conventional military frontiers. Not only will A.I. chips and platforms be able to convert about anything mobile or electronic into a weapon of war able to attack enemy interests in some way, they may be embedded b y terrorists as well in countless ways govern attack vectors. KSM- Khalid Sheik Mohammad, the designer of the 9-11 attacks was an engineer graduate of the University of North Carolina. The next KSM could be a software app designer from anywhere attacking anything. An application of a synthetic AI co-pilot could be the takeover and crashing of a jet following an unseen installation of a special chip. The Ukraine war is stimulating countless conventional and technical weapons spin-offs able to convert low cost machines, transport and electronic devices into weapons of war. Consequences are difficult to predict difficult to predict. History doesn’t roll backwards though.
