European Origins of the American Left

Classical liberalism as it is known to the west differs from and is prior to the rise of the left. The left is Marxist while classical liberalism followed Jesus Christ, Adam Smith and free enterprise capitalism for individuals.
Individual freedom and self-directed independence within a nation of free individuals without a legally superior class over them required millenia to develop. The left, and Karl Marx, saw only the hard side of English industrial capitalism with workers thrown off rural farmland and into dirty, dank, polluted factories with long hours, low pay and a vast difference between the poor and rich company owners. The urban struggle for a humane standard of living and work conditions required a couple of centuries to develop in the west. Marxist philosophy and the communist manifesto developed during that period. It was entirely unAmerican and neo-Hegelian.
Karl Marx formalized a theoretical account for human social evolution that was based on conflict and dialectical progress or evolution. Over the 19th and 20th centuries the left added whatever new idea they could to their platform, such as atheism and evolution, as a hardening of their front against capitalism.
Anti-capitalists of the Marxist variety had little experience of the United States and its foundation upon classical liberalism with properties of rights for individuals to be free from adverse interference by the state. Instead they viewed history through the neo-Hegelian evolutionary dialectical lens of class conflict. For quite a lengthy period the United States was made mostly of rural farming people. With industrialization and the rise of a consumer culture people quite farm labor and moved to cities. The American south after the civil war saw quite a number of free former slaves moving north for their own new deal (before FDR’s).
The integration movements in American 20th century culture were piggybacked with anti-capitalist socialist agitators. People like Bernie Sanders were first arrested for protesting against negro discriminatory policies not uncommonly, before any socialist agitation. Anti-war policies in the 1960s and the new left were existential-dialectical neo-utopians disinterested in the military industrial complex. Following TImothy Leary’s maxim they turned on, tuned, in and dropped out. The new left had pacific sentiments without much regard for classical liberalism which they had lost sight of in the midst of white collar conservative, big business, IBM computer, capitalist, big banked urbanism.
With the development of fast transistor chips society and communications went through several economic qualitative technological upgrades. The left were as drawn to computers as formerly were the management corp. The left saw capitalism and big business rather than free enterprise and individualism. The left regarded themselves as individualists and the urban blue collar and white collar workers as tools for the machine, the matrix etc.
Presently the left is without a solid understanding of capitalism, free enterprise or history. As an identity movement of women, homosexuals, and internal proletariats such as Hispanics, the left simply wishes to move in and take over. Socializing business from the top down. Ossifying business at a level of Marxist synthesis for a Corporatism political philosophy including the left, brings the dictatorship of the proletariat into being and eliminates individual sovereignty as the foundation of the United States of America.
Fundamentally the left as an opposition party is incompetent and unable to reform capitalism and free enterprise without socialism (or with it either). The left has no ability to comprehend ecological economics and merge it into free market practices. The left has largely killed the Democrat Party as an opposition party to Republican who are oriented toward allowing the concentration of wealth.
The left cannot bring itself to shed its Marxist orientation and simply study how to make a democracy work effectively for the well-being of all citizens. Leaving no one behind, a contemporary democracy would not hinder individuals from inventing and upgrading personal, private and public sectors investments.
Democracy has all of the tools it needs to reform economic methods and to make them consistent with a healthy ecosystem. There is no need of socialism or communist dictatorship to rectify Adam Smith’s outlook with modern reality. If the left are the Democrat Party and they have abandoned capitalism and finding its limits and capacities for making ordinary life better and survivable ecospherically, they are displacing new party formations with time consuming spoilt political philosophy. If Donald Trump was knowledgeable about ecological economics he would get 25% more votes in the next election. He is not all bad.

Air Force Bungles Base Location Planning

The Air Force wants $5 billion for flood and hurricane damage to bases. Global warming has been well known to science for decades, why can't Air Force base and runway planners factor in reasonable scientific analysis and plan ahead a little. They should build runways in places not prone to global warming or flood damage at least 100 feet above potential flood level.

Superfluous sorts of build in a flood plain federal project financing needs to stop. Global warming is a fact. Look ahead a half century at least and put private sector thinking caps on. Unnecessary financial loss by the military is a military defeat for national security.

https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2019/03/us-air-force-we-need-5-billion-fix-weather-damaged-bases/155863/

Hopefully the dummies won't build a dike around previously flooded runways. They should reopen closed bases that are above flood and hurricane surge levels, and reduce flooded bases to temporary landing pads.

My first win vs an 1800 player in 3 minute blitz was sloppy and lucky. Even so it was enjoyable.

If Demos Promote a Pawn to Queen, Who Wins in 2020?

The Democratic Party is running at minimum five female candidates that hope to be promoted from pawns to Queen in winning the 2020 Presidential election. The question arises; who wins if promoting a pawn is the end-in-itself?

Democrats are a party of identity these days without any solid ideas that are worth taking up four years of the public's time. Not that Republicans have so many, although President Trump has a few solid ideas like getting a moon base going and a man on the moon within five years (via VP Pence). President Trump would deal with the southern border emergency better than a Queen, yet what else has he got?

Democrats have some front ideas about global warming concerns that aren't well formed or packaged. President Trump believes global warming will save on winter building heating costs if it does occur, of which he is doubtful. Neither party can be relied on for good ideas about transitioning to ecological economics. Democratic candidates are vacuous though they would like to pass major ineffective and expensive legislation of great symbolic value.

Democrats have a brave new world platform of identity politics that has all government workers being safe and secure and the public dependent upon them. It is a kind of softer, gentler, feminist communist party utopia united with Mussolini'Hitler business corporatism. It's all bad.

Obamacare is bad, invasive and expensive, yet everyone needs health care sometime. Getting rid of it is good, though Republican replacements would be bad ineffective and leave out the poor. My policy of tripling the V.A. system and uniting it with the nation's homeless clinics to provide free walk-in health care for the poor that are registered and screened by government screening agencies, is actually the least costly and most effective way to deliver health care to those that need it. My policy would require Musk hypertubes connecting cities and homeless clinics nationally so everyone could get to them for free with validated hospital or clinic visit.

It is a fact that non-profit clinic and hospital structures with quality staff (maybe free Medical School for those willing to work ten years in the V.A. system) are the best delivery systems for millions and millions of poor and uninsurable people. Democratic candidates hate a practical idea like it.

Democrats don't really want to reform the patent system so anyone can afford a patent or manufacture patented inventions after three years of inventor exclusivity (and pay the inventor 10% royalties). Democrats don't really want to provide incentives to hire those out of work longest, first. Democrats posture much and work for identity politics where qualification for politics is largely no more than being female, queer, transgender or daughter of immigrants. Democratic President candidates reflect the party's lack of ideas. 

Another Theoretical Paradigm of the Universe



Scientists have exploited Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity to develop a theory of expansion of the Universe from a singularity. Lemaitre developed that theory before quantum mechanics was developed very far. Later after Gamow, and then Guth expanded the paradigm adding inflation unto it, Tegmark decided that the entire big bang, inflation, expansion paradigm might be based in pure mathematics. Mathematics led to a theory of mind at the heart of everything with the steady state of matter decohered from the quantum realm with symmetry-breaking enabled with mind.

Sure one may postulate a universal mind that coagulates or precipitates mass in a phenomenal spot that becomes a singularity with clusters of mass and energy forming around it decohered from the perfect ocean of mind. There is a simpler way to approach the subject of how or where mass and energy appear in the Universe from virtually nowhere. One may use the General Theory parameters to describe mechanics of expansion of mass in a gravitational field given a certain endowment of initial energy poshing outward. One may also hypothesize that the quantum realm hasn't a necessary delimitation restricting it to the singularity position 1 contiguous field of being. Instead it may decohere outside the contiguous field with any topographic geometry (such as a circular) to interact with the initial Universe singularity field mass-energy.

If the all-possible world lines positions of quanta arisen from Universal Mind may enter a Universe mass-energy field at any place according to the designer’s will or intent, it would be understandable that gravity from locations beyond the known mass energy field of Universe1 could draw Universe 1 content toward it at an accelerating pace. Virtual particles decohered from any place might appear like rain soaking through a porous membrane.

Time doesn't exist in the quantum realm supporting the steady state of decohered mass Universe-clump at all, or if it does, in a one to one relative equivalence. It may enter the Universe forward or backward in the Universe 1 time without concern except for the designer’s, with it’s non-temporal super-positions.

Quantitative meta-structure super-positioned effects interacting from beyond the contiguous, physical Universe may have natural explanations too, though they arise from a mind field or field from an undefined source. It may be possible that quantitative super-positioning may displace 

The quantum realm in its own time/timeless way of change, creating temporary voids. Past Universe 1 expansion events may cause 'dark energy events' elsewhen indirectly, because of the voids created in the realm of all possible super-positioning decoherence. Virtual gravity may temporarily present.

It is interesting to think about.

All-Female Identity Politics in Space

N.A.S.A. has delayed a spacewalk by an all-female team- no transgenders there apparently, putting on hold the start of identity politics in space. It was a clever idea bringing identity politics to space. After an all-female team an all-negro team of space-walkers followed by all-Hispanic could bring in more voters to continue the program.

An all-queer team perhaps is some way down the space-out program for N.A.S.A.

If 50% of astronauts have herpes virus, the thrills of space-walking may be tempered with the sober realism of disease.

It could be that Democrat Presidential candidates have tricks up their sleeves such as all-godless atheist spacewalking synchronization teams, all new green deal spacewalking teams while Donald Trump may field an all-Christian space-walking team. What about sending lotto winners to moon-walk in space?

Fallout of the Mueller Investigation

The Mueller Investigation was a partisan effort to overturn the 2016 election results. The Obama cult followers felt entitled to continue the line of Obama programs that had been forced through congress. Hillary Clinton’s followers represented a brave new world order of x chromosomes and homosexuality that was supposed to become the dominating American way of life. It was a major split in the nation’s social fabric that will likely be lasting.

The Democrat Party became a party of identity rather than of ideas. That entailed permanent opposition to people for being straight and male, white and American by the left. Without a competent Democratic Party of ideas; good ideas, Republicans haven’t substantial competition except in the realm of identity politics. That is a bad result of the Mueller Investigation and the cult media hate-Trumpestry woven into the Democrat Party narrative.
Therefore de facto, bi-partisan policies to concentrate wealth continue unopposed except for occasional Democratic symbolic gestures. Spoiling socialism is levered with appeals to high taxation so even responsible tax rates seem socialist and undesirable. Ecospheric and ecological restoration economics are poisoned with homosexuality, socialism and globalism. In short; nothing gets done in the U.S. Congress of a scale that would address real issues. Democrat Party politics are polarizing. They show no capacity for empirical reason these days. The Mueller Report is another tool to provide political content for identity politics.
