Internet Poles

While researching how the nation can replace fossil fuel burners of people idling suvs in parking lots using the Internet with comparatively harmless electric vehicles a.s.a.p. I chanced upon the thought of unleashing Earth’s magnetic field to carry digital Internet bits.

Yet the poles reverse sometimes. The north pole tomb of St John Paul 2 goes south exchanged with the south pole tomb of Duke Meiszko 1.

After Darwin the Deluge

Philosophy changed after Darwin published his book on evolution named On the Origin of Species. Wegener’s discovery of plate tectonics and the expanding awareness of the size and scale of the Universe with construction of larger and larger telescopes coincided with the 20^th century advances in biological learning and changed the way people look at the world. Philosophy also changed while theology was challenged. By the start of the third millennium human social sciences and history were viewed as of decreased importance; surface activities of bioforms on an insignificant planet in a remote part of the galactic habitation zone of a spiral galaxy itself just a speck of sand amidst billions of galaxies. The scale of science and its effect upon human thinking tended to dwarf the interest in philosophical works such as G.W.F. Hegel had developed in his tome The Phenomenology of Spirit [1807]. German romanticism and its existential regard for the individual in society shadowed the increasing epistemological theoretical drift toward relativism and subjectivism as meaning became detached from traditional philosophical and theological attachment because of the power of evolution and cosmology developing together as a great empirical truth.

Philosophers and historians continued to work of course, even as they kept one eye upward toward the Hubble image captures of 12 to 13 billion year old starlight from what was considered to be near the beginning of the Universe give or take a half a billion years. Philosophers such as C.S. Pierce developed semiotic works about symbols. Frege and other advanced symbolic logic onward from Aristotle’s classical along with the mathematical of Leibniz and advance of progress of logic. The Vienna Circle of philosophers led the way with others such as Wittgenstein in the field of the philosophy of logic and its intersection with the meaning of language, the epistemology of cognition and eventually analytic philosophy. W.V.O Quine not only developed analytic philosophy investigating words and their meaning as Platonic essents or forms with real or nominal values, he investigated the relationship of words to objects, from which one may readily consider the nature of objects for-themselves as members cohering within a continuum of quantum field phenomena; solid state physics. Quantum physics parallel the rise of Darwinist evolution ideas in cosmology and biology and reinforced the tendency of many to regard life as virtually phenomenal to an extent found in Buddhism.

The appearance of so many strong new influences on human thought of a circumspective, philosophical kind was a challenge to philosophers to respond to the new material with new ideas. Some philosophers became echoes of the Darwinian science as philosophers of science. Some theologians choose to ignore the field entirely and focus just upon scripture, and that was reasonable enough except as it rendered them unable to consider how the Bible relates to the new understanding of the empirical world or to provide meaningful Christian apologetics regarding it.

Darwinian evolution philosophy in the world became eventually a popular with such strength that it conquered political leadership in Europe and in much of the entertainment and broadcast media spanning the globe. Business found it generally acceptable as it enabled fortune 500 leaders to dismiss moral concerns more readily and better put on the blinders of business to externalities and to focus on profits wheresoever that leads.

The rise of abstract expressionism in the arts from impressionism to cubism and beyond reflected the advance of epistemological and linguistic relativism and subjectivism. Paradoxically people could look at the images of the vast Universe and even consider it as part of a great Multiverse and find it meaningless with just their own experience of it as meaningful, at least for-themselves. Subjectivism and relativism was reflected in reductionism in every field even unto the quantum level, and time and being as mass were phenomenal events perceived locally without any sort of transcendent value of such a nature that similar events could be occurring in an infinite number of Universes. Philosophers too seemed to have been taken up in some instances with the Darwinian power of evolution finding little enough in humanity except as it might evolve too, and tragically losing the capacity to keep a concept of God as a Supreme being of power and capacity larger than a Multiverse. Darwinism as universal evolution seemed to have no place for the Bible in it. And that is where this book of mine is concerned. I take another opinion about it. God probably can create a Multiverse like a zillion angels as it were, on the head of a pin.

Britain's Godless Leaders

  With the publication of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species in 1859 Britain set out upon the long downward course of evolution of Christianity. Christianity declined first amidst Protestants and Non-Conformists only later followed by Catholics who did rather well after the collapse of Protestant Christianity.

  Still, as many as 48% of Britishers claim to be Christians. Their leadership however is generally faithless and has one of the largest number of atheists in Europe. Part of the reason that the more educated classes take up Darwin's evolution text as their new gospel is of course the obvious desire to avoid moral concerns about concentrating wealth and power. In effect they have signed off on Marx's judgement that religion is the opiate of the masses, although in the U.S.A. presently real opiates are of epidemic scale.

  There is an historical lag between deep philosophical examination of issues regarding religion in the masses that cannot be concerned with such affairs. They tend to look toward their leaders for good opinion to follow. If the leaders are rather airheads as they often are (General Hindenberg of Germany bragged that he had never read a book in his life), and cannot learn good opinion, then the people as well may be badly informed. In the United States Democrat party atheist militancy has saturated politics such that they too have given up Christian faith to a large extent as well as the political paradigm of the founders in preference for evolution.

   It is not that Darwinian evolution is necessarily false or that Christians must claim it is so. Instead the problem is that evolution is just one hypothetical way of considering ontology and a Universe that may be a Multiverse. Evolution theory does not require that Christianity be falsified, it is the case the unphilosophically minded people with a hatred of Christianity wish it to be the case that Christianity and God must be wrong ideas if evolution is to be true.

  One might compare Evolution theory to a computer operating system and people as bits of data within it that have discovered the architectural principles of the operating system. Some wish that to mean that no other operating system could exist or be dual booted within a computer. Yet it may be that the operating system exists within a greater operating system itself, or that the operating system functions as a holographical and optical system made of photons that haven't anything at all to do with computer hardware-perhaps they are unintended beams of light cast on the shadow f a cave that work logically because of nothing more than a great coincidence in nature, or maybe some clever kid made hand signals in front of a laser beam that generated the effect of an operating system...etc
  God transcends anything in physics in a way larger than the way the Higgs field is prior to and transcends any particle-waves within it comprising the solid-state Universe. People in fact misunderstand what time is commonly; it is an emergent characteristic of the phase changes of particle-waves within the Higgs field and is local.

  God may have created the Universe in seven seconds fully evolved, much less seven days or 13.2 billion years. The Universe could be said to have been created in under a second with an explosion of energy followed by an inflation, yet no one really knows that for sure nor what caused it. There are a zillion theoretical courses and those may nicely fit within the Chinese puzzle box criteria of greater containing causes. It is fun and profitable to be authoritative yet being accurate is also important.

  There are many ways to interpret the Bible too that don't run into obvious Biblical contradictions. Even John 5:39-47 has a parable from Jesus that mentions hell, yet today there are many Christian leaders in denial of that, of of course they are also in denial about the need to reform to become a priesthood of believers.
King James version-

"19There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."

  Because theologians are specialized they tend to lag far behind development of philosophical investigations examining cosmology and scripture. Cosmological-Biblical hermeneutic requires substantial learning that would not be professionally supported, and atheists tend to discard any way of thinking that would determine that Christianity is not necessarily in conflict with cosmology and evolution.

Vishy Anand- World Rapid Chess Champ- faster with age

Chess games are played with various time formats. Classical chess games of more than 90 minutes, rapid chess games (of 20 minutes) and blitz chess (of five minutes) are the major categories of competition for world titles. This year the world rapid chess championship was won by the top active elder pro chess player Vishwanathan Anand of India.

Chess on-line is a rapidly expanding recreational activity. Lichess, Chess.com, Chess24 and Chesstempo and Chess All-Stars are a few of the web sites with free chess game playing.

Some of the younger pro chess players have received professional chess instruction from a very early age-even three years old, and parents have paid as much as $25,000 a year for chess instruction for their progeny hoping that they will become top professional chess players.

Skeptics may say that pro chess is a meaningless recreational activity contributing nothing more than pro tic tac toe of benefit to benefit humanity; I won’t argue the point. It isn’t farming yet it is a good mind activity for the elderly far better than sitting in a darkened room watching television.

Yet chess as an Internet on-line activity has a darker side of age and sex discrimination trash talking. Chess playing does not compel one to get off-board life experience or maturity. One can be a chess punk with a bad attitude. Some use chess like trolls to try to victimize opponents with predatory names and comments. The best remedy is to beat them unemotionally and ignore the whimpering comments of perverse losers.

The youth dominated sport on-line is simply a factor of the recent proliferation of the Internet world wide. Present youth have been able to play on-line chess games for nearly 20 years and the opportunities for free chess learning have increased too, with innumerable videos and pgn game libraries enabling players to watch chess games of openings and matches of the past five-hundred years. There is a lot of trash talking on on-line chess games, and because the present generation has had so much computer assisted learning they have tended to believe that chess like physics is an activity where the very young are best. Vishy Anand as world rapid champion since 28 December has sort of upset that notion.

One of the primary reasons for the advantage of younger chess players at the highest level is that there are more of them and they have all studied the games of the champion in detail while the champion hasn’t been able to study the games of so many younger players in equal detail. It is something like a pyramid where one studies the people above that are fewer in number as one rises, while the guy or gal on top has to study the games of all of those rising, and that is quite a different challenge.

Vishy Anand was the world classical champion follow Garry Kasparov's retirement. Kasparov was best at all three major time controls of chess and when he seemed to be slipping, quit. Anand had been around a very long time before he got his moment to become world classical champion and took it with a special selection match in Rio that determined the vacated world championship title holder. Though he only defended the title a couple of times he never stopped playing after losing the title.

Anand is a very tough player that deserved the title as much as Tigran Petrosian or another of the Soviet chess champs that held the title for just a short time. Not every player is a Kasparov, Karpov, Steinitz, Lasker etc that were at the top for a very long time. After losing the title to Magnus Carlsen the present aging classical chess champ, Anand had the will to win the candidates tournament and play a rematch with Carlsen. Winning the candidates tournament is no easy feat. The former world number two player Levon Aronian who is one of the highest rated chess players in history tried five times and failed. Anand gets credit for going back to win the candidates tourney.

After playing and losing twice to Carlson in the world classical championship Anand may have decided not to waste time trying again. He did not make the 2018 candidates tournament field. Instead he may have prepared for the rapid chess competition and ended up being World Champion. That is remarkable considering his age and shows his determination and strategy for to winning.

Occasionally people wish that Garry Kasparov would return to the chess arena as he did in 2017 briefly in a match in St. Louis. If Kasparov were to focus on just one chess time control such as rapid or blitz and entered numerous competitions he probably would be a contender for a world title in his 50s. If narrowly focused apparently one can continue winning chess to old age if one has the desire to do so.

I didn’t play a first complete chess game until age 57 and made fair progress at blitz chess discovering that the major problem is just Internet speed and time delays that can create quite a disadvantage. My blitz high score of 1430 was hit a couple of years ago in a public library in Oklahoma that had good Internet speed. Riding a bike around the nation looking for work and playing on-line chess sometimes isn’t the quickest way to advance yet blitz chess is something like ping pong with complex vector spaces and trajectories with 16 balls instead of just one. It’s a good way to relax and to exercise the mind, off-road.

Mcshane vs Anand rd 7 world rapid chess championship 27 Dec 2017

Cold Wet Chrome in Gray Sky

If one cannot recall the sight

of sounds rippling upon time waves

when ideas of ever become never being still

born dreams flying clocks tightly saved

winding down

Then it is found something right left

disappeared for thousands of nights

in world’s shadow of power echoes laughing

a way particles past present and future

so much greater and lesser than neither

being and nothingness or

space and rhymes about it

with lists of plans sown in earthly furrows

for people that for a time held the plows

to sharp lines taken by the rains since

erased mornings and yesterday’s produce

building tosses sprouted as ground cover

plant structures for others

that wouldn’t know so many simultaneous memories

from origins to finite ends

with red technicolor notes of the surreal

like the Multiverse resting on pinpoint.

Jim Crowe's Gender Segregated Toilets

The city of Anchorage has itself experienced the Jim Crowe system of toilet segregation for some time. Men and women are sexually segregated, perhaps to engender some sort of supremacist and inferioricist social control. Frankly, toilets are agents of social conditioning.

American potty training for the moral equivalent of racial segregation based on gender begins very early. Ending sexually segregated toilets can evolve, just as tax rates may be evolved to higher and lower levels by the Congress who will act according to the desire of the rich.

In some nations men and women don’t have segregated toilets with special mens only and womens only eliminators. People that aren’t lucky enough to have water-closet toilets may just poop in a trench or piss on a wall even during torrential ranges or desert storms. They have not had the social opportunity to evolve specially gender segregated human waste elimination facilities.

Americans can of course liberate their public bowel and political movements by ending segregated toilets. That may require some great amount of architectural design and creativity. Maybe all people could use sit-down toilettes or stand-up toilets as they prefer. Already women have been given the opportunity to purchase stand-up appliances that enable them to urinate without squatting or sitting down. Individual stand-up urinals could have screens so workmen would not need to have their appliance shaped like a penis bigger than those of males stand-ups.

Individual entrances and exits to the waste removal staging area where full-bladdered people strutting and fretting their hours without relief or challenged to liberate their solid waste urgently could replace the girl’s club or boys club atmosphere that trans-gender people want to be able to eliminate at will on either side they choose. Innovating architecture and waste removal design meets resistance from those segregationists that want women to feel inferior about not hanging with the guys segregated in female-only relief facilities. Advertisers running ads deprecatory to women in men-only toilet clubs may resist too simply because of tradition and profit margin. Architects and waste removal engineers may experience the redesign of toilets of mind-boggling complexity yet change may slowly occur with constructive engagement of new facilities that let men and women sit equally on microwave or incinerate waterless toilets as they choose to stand up or sit down as the case may be.

The President and U.S. Energy Greatness

The President and U.S. Energy Greatness

For President Trump to make progress toward making American energy great again he shall want to establish solar power production across the land so far as to enable most buildings to go off the grid of global collectivist corporatism that Americans pay rent to for life. Solar power and free electrons from the star of God’s creative brilliance is the way to outlast cycles of oil price and supply swings. .

The President has not been a leader in advancing solar power to the roofs and exterior walls of the nation’s buildings where it should be a top energy producer, in daylight hours, for much of the land. Electricity produced on the spot from solar photons hasn’t got a down side, and it would save a fortune on expensive copper wiring used in so many structures as levels could produce abundant energy for l.e.d. lighting and office machines. The President knows construction and buildings and could move the nation to the front of production of independent energy from solar and fuel cell electron production on-site.

Though Sect. Of Energy Pruitt lowered the bar recently on fuel mileage requirements because it was too high for aged oil policies desired by Eco-yippees, solar energy and electric cars including electrical power lines embedded in concrete Interstate highways for in-line recharging, could have brought the nation to a position of even less reliance on foreign sources of oil.

For the nation to be great in producing more energy cleanly than it ever has before, the production and installation of solar cells must be synergized with the transition to electric powered cars and I suppose hydrogen too (if enough pressure can be put on water to make something of a metallic diamond out of it. Actually I have no idea about how hydrogen metal is made, yet I wonder what happens when one puts water under 10,000 p.s.i. of pressure (I suppose scientists already know the answer to that)). America cannot be great again if it just follows OPEC economics and relies on ancient transport theories more than a century old as if the nation were a museum etc.

The President has chosen to give the American solar panel industry some help by putting a tariff on cheap foreign imports yet that doesn’t go nearly far enough to advance the nation into off-grid energy independence leadership in sustainable clean energy production.
