Fox News Tech Report on '100 Year Starship'

America's personed space program is in a solipsistic yin entanglement not getting anywhere solid such as the moon or Mars. Fox News has a story on the secret D.A.R.P.A.-N.A.S.A. program to send and maroon astronauts on a 100 year mission to Mars--also known as the 'fire and forget strategy'.

The wright way to go about solar system colonization would be to create an ecological economic low entropy economy in the U.S.A. for a good example to other nations, build a moon research colony and electromagnetic mass driver for launching things from the moon, send a fleet off automatic spaceship cycling between Earth and Mars (as Buzz Aldrin suggested), and keep fabbing things on the moon to launch at low cost to mars for automatic caching of materials to work with.

Martian colonization would be a research base rather than a political entity like a colony, and zero population growth on Earth and elsewhere should keep the entire solar system population to just 9 billion intelligent, well educated and high tech, spiritual souls that respect liberty. The moon needs only a few thousand to build machines and super-conducting electrical facilities around the lunar surface, and mars should just be a terraforming project above and below ground with people working on that a long time. Humanity needs to learn to become ecotopia engineers occupationally as much as being warriors, blowing things up and waging economic war with senseless abandon.

Social Determinism Because of The Intellectual Laziness of the Wealthy and Middle Class

Reading further in Van Creeveld's 'The Culture of War' I have found interesting concepts about the sociology of societies and their war cultures in regard to 'men without chests' and feminism. These are concepts that fit rather well with Toybean analysis of the evolution of societies and civilizations through various stages. It is not a subject that provides much optimism as humanity moves through deterministic social configurations and relationships rather like the seasonal leaves upon trees.

The economic aspects of war were not especially a subject of Van Creeveld's cultural research. I regard the evolution of contemporary economics from the classical foundation as something like that of the evolution of the culture of war as it attacks natural resources, consumes and depletes them looking abroad for more to input. The culture of war is largely a gender motivated phenomenon, and in its collapse such that no culture of war functions effectively the social environment is overrun by those that do.

The challenges to whatever elements of society are interested in creating a stable, zero-population growth with full employment and high quality of life lay within very a deep social complex of gender relationships, greed, generational hubris and ignorance and economic reasoning of no more sophistication than that of war and the joy of making a killing while survivingng the direct threat to one's own existence.

The United States could have just sealed the Mexican border to illegal immigration and help reconstruct Mexico simultaneously in order that they should ave no reason to send migrants north to the drug addled land of '4-Loco' where they can take over gradually from those with a weak grip on nationhood. The greed of globalists and resistance to ecological economics will in time collapse the United States into a warpath interregnum zone of contention perhaps suitable to a cultre of war in recovery from an era of 'men without chests' and feminism that has transformed the wine into vinegar. Cheap labor and fecundity to expand dumb economic growth of resource consumption is the devil in the details retarding intelligent economic redesign.

The plain biological facts of sociological existence does not confer person-hood upon soldiers or civilians as abstract units of pure equality, and neither does it provide a benificient and wise government,corporate leadership or hierarchical priesthood fundamentally interested in more than their own narrow economic self-interest. In order to create a strongly renewable, high-quality social environment with social equality for all citizens the solutions to the many political challenges would require that all understand the objective environmental facts of being and seek the well being of thy brother and sister as well as thyself. The Lord Jesus could accomplish such a mission, one has little reason to expect much from the animals of economics and war that flourish in the prosperous societies as well as the poor.

Gender aspects of biological alteration have even speculated on removing and freezing ovaries in young women for re-implantation later so they are are more fertile in older age after piling up money and career power. Reading 'The Culture of War' by Van Creeveld a chapter on feminism and the biological gender facts about war and population relates several facts such as why men are comparatively disposable and women so highly valued. An ovary freezing program could change that enabling women after freezing ovaries to be disposable warriors too. Van Creeveld noted that women have thinner skulls, less bone mass, less muscle and body size and are otherwise unsuitable compared to men for being clubbed and beaten in combat. Maybe Dr. Frankenstein could give steroids and genetic re-engineering to enhance female workforce survivability outside the financial and government services sectors.

Seriously though, I am skeptical about the political value of deferring reproduction through artificial means while importing illegal aliens to provide population increase. I think it is a sophistication that is disingenuous, although maybe freezing embryos could be an option to abortion as technology advances.

I will not make any jokes about freezing balls off in Alaska.

It is not enough to just mean well, posture toward pacifism or select paper instead of plastic in order to change society and enhance the prospects for species diversity and survival of pollution. To design an intelligent society in which all of humanity may dwell safely and prosperously for a time the real social dynamics of change biologically should be understood well enough to moderate the flow and direct it politically to an advantageous position. That is an extremely challenging venture most would be defeatists on if they even though about the challenges critically.

Some Reasons Why Globalism May Be Evil to National Interests

Globalization as a political phenomenon, wrote the historian Arnold Toynbee, is a universal phase of a civilization-it is the nova of a star at the end of its cycle of history. A wise national leadership would not over-extend its border security rationality, its economic resources and need for more consumption and power without much personal labor and just go global.

There are innumerable ways to view environmental and existential political expansion and absorption of smaller nations into larger glomming powers and principalities. Many of those are dystopian paradigms.

Ghengis Khan was a globalist as was Adolph Hitler, Imperialist powers of a global nature from Ancient Rome to the Assyrians and the British Empire would stop when they were stopped. That phenomenon exists with Wall-Street global financial powers as well. Sometimes imperialistic they have eliminated the protections of Glass-Steagle and made home mortgages tradable commodities for global rulers.

Concentrating wealth has a small worlds networks criteria of advantage of preferred locations enabling everyone to drop their dime in the Wall Street outlets instead of their won business or that of a neighbor. Globalists may unite with the state and become a corporatist entity such as Mussolini designed not much different from a global socialist totalitarian rein of repression of individualism. Certainly America will not retreat from modern global communications, yet neigther should it retreat from a stalwart nationalism conserving the proprietary interests of the citizens that already are Americans.

One need not be frightened of globalism and its political spin each day as megalomaniacs seek to buy up everything and put on the imperial purple or download human freedom into a totalitarian box with diminishing over-used natural resources as drone workers.

History has many lessons for Americans, yet the practical freedom and liberty of individuals in relation to government powers meant to serve rather than oppress is fundamental.

Charybdis & Scylla-The 2010 Election Choice for More Public Debt

The logic is somewhat mysterious to me. The President plans to add a trillion dollars of debt each year if he is reelected in 2012 from the present. That would make a total public debt of 20 trillion dollars. Why does such economic planning appeal to youth?

Eventually those trillions add up to become real money. If deflation were to occur for some reason that could seem like a zillion dollar debt (isn't that the next level up from trillion?).

Us classical liberals of the George Washington-Thomas Jefferson ilk got off the Democratic fag-n-feminism bandwagon some time ago, and jetisoned the usurpation of liberalism by socialism long before from the conestoga of progress. Well, that leaves what, Republicans to vote from?

Globalism versus perversion and socialism, Cherybdis and Scyllla--these are the American political parties against environmental reason, national security, full employment and no public debt for all Americans. While God is alive, politics is dead except for the corporate carrion buzzards picking over the garbage of classical economics.

Post-Modern Philosopher of Pragmatism (Deflated) Obama/On Prof. Kloppenberg's Book

The New York Times has helpfully provided us an insight into the mind of the President, or at least his intellectual history as perceived by a Harvard historian Mr. James T. Kloppenberg. Professor Kloppenberg has invested a substantial amount of time in discovery of the philosophical influence that shaped the Mr. Obama's personal philosophical outlook although one might cringe at the idea of an historian extracting philosophical influences from the Jakarta to Cambridge via Hawaii history of the President. Kloppenberg believes Obama is a deflated philosopher of pragmatism.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/28/books/28klopp.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

It is helpful to know that rare academic speculative intellectuals such as Max Weber and Fredrich Neitzsche shaped the ideas of the President as well as Chicago anarchists and Weather Underground bombers. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Charles Sanders Peirce (pronounced 'purse'), William James and the post modernist philosophical pragmatist linguistic wise-guy John Dewey are mentioned in the review of Kloppenberg's speech at The City University of New York's Graduate Center as influences in the intellectual portrait of the President as a young man.

We are not convinced that there is much intellectual content in the list of individuals cited as providing philosophical manure relevant for management of national interests today. The growth of the Presidential critical theory of pragmatic post-modernist anomie, chaos and detachment from historical insight for philosophical purposes appears a limited philosophical selection . If the President did not read Wolfe's Radical Chic and Mau Mauing the Flak Catchers perhaps he read the works of Joseph Kenyatta and a life of Muhammad as well as the transcendentalists. Maybe he never watched television.

A simple Quinian post-modernist presentation of ontological relativity and philosophy of logic would suffice to persuade us that a President has a competence in language and logic, yet knowledge of human history and of real interests may not be as readily compressed to a theoretical formula and reduced to meaningless political subjectivity. That sort of pragmatism creates an ineffective bureaucratic net loss budgeting deleterious to the environment, sovereignty, social welfare and security lacking in reformative vigor.

Eleventh Death of Homeless Person from Cold Weather of 2010 In Anchorage

The first person of the 2010-11 cold weather season, and 11th death of 2010 occurred in Anchorage a couple of nights ago. Alice Stewart passed away sleeping outside in a field off a busy street in Anchorage.

In the afternoons the temperature has tended to be a warm 40 degrees recently, while overnight the temperature may drop to the low 30's and even the 20's. If using alcohol it is easy not to awaken from the dangerous cold.

While one may cite individual problems for the exposure to cold weather death or injury, it is true that if the victims had their own housing they would have been unlikely to place themselves in a dangerous outdoor circumstance.

When I read of these matters I cannot help consider how the entire U.S. housing and economic structure isn't very well designed for sustainability or access to quality low cost housing. Neither would many homeless individuals have access to affordable transportation when necessary to travel the miles across the dangerously cold city of Anchorage to a free emergency weather shelter.

Concentrating the homeless is an especially bad idea because it dramatically increases the intra-social negative elements and exposure to crime, drugs and alcohol. In some alternative reality there may be an intelligent and efficient society concerned with including rather than excluding as well as defending individual human rights from government and social predators.

Will Lisa Murkowski Emasculate The Alaska Republican Party Nov. 2nd?

Lisa Murkowski formerly a Republican of Alaska is poised to snip the political effectiveness of the Alaska Republican Party in the bud at least for a while if she can accomplish an orchiotomy upon its ability to get a the legitimate Republican candidate-Joe Miller, elected.

Murkowski according to polls is drawing female voters away from both major parties to join her neo-independent campaign for the U.S. Senate. A Republican formerly since being appointed to the U.S. Senate by her father the Governor of Alaska former U.S.Senator Frank Murkowski, Lisa switched allegiance and became a rogue elephant following her loss in the Republican primary election to bronze star winner and Economics M.A. from the University of Alaska holder Joe Miller, Esq.(Yale Law School).

With a network of heavily financed special interests campaign contributors on her side, Lisa had little to lose and much to gain in running a rogue political campaign. The Democratic candidate-a fisherman and part-time mayor from Sitka Alaska is drawing just 25% of the vote in polls as his Democratic women have defected to the Murkowski camp. Patty Murray, a former Independent turned Democratic Party Senator from the state of Washington is another gender first candidate who recently received support from Secretary of State and Perennial Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

These are interesting times. While fewer Republican women are defecting to the Murkowski campaign so far, we must wait until next week to discover if the new Independent Gender Ad Hoc Party has cut the balls off of the Republican Party machine-even if it has a candidate endorsed by the Tea Party who is for cutting the cost of government himself. Alto may become the new singing voice of Alaskan Republicans for a while.
