The Paradox of Capitalism

Capitalism is just making a pile for oneself, as large as one needs or wants. The greatest paradox of that, or irony, is that the world environment is being destroyed as an unintended consequence of about 8 billion people taking what they can from that which no one owns (the world).

Ownership of something means exclusive use of it, or right to say what may be done with it (property). Private properties are capital, and people are concerned with and care most about their own capital.

Aristotle commented that public properties- the commons- are the worst looked after. The world is generally regarded as a commons subdivided with millions of exclusive use areas of private interests, though public lands are regulated too (and sometimes exploited destructively). 

Exclusive use of ownership is requisite for careful management of capital resources. One cannot construct a well-designed structure or infrastructure for example, or formulate a special use plan for real estate, without ownership. Farmers could not plan their planting cycles, or have a reason to invest in capital farm equipment for example, if they did not own the land, or at least have exclusive use of it through rental agreement. If the land were a commons and some one else decided to graze their cattle on the crops grown, or have a heavy metal rock festival, the crop loss could be complete.

There is no question that intelligent individuals can determine for-themselves best how to manage their own capital interests as opposed to bureaucratic, indirect management of other people’s interests. Since no one owns the world, and the individual capital interests are private and necessarily detached from inter-capital management and land use coordinated efforts, the well-being of the world environment is in serious decline.

The remedy might be for one individual to own the world. One might say that God owns the world. Most of humanity don’t recognize that nor their proper role as stewards. So the default evolution may be dystopian. Probably that would be an A.I. that would decide following science fiction protocols well established, that humanity is a viral plague on the ecosphere, yet it has, for itself, as an A.I., no need for an ecosphere with life in it, except for computer maintenance engineers to serve it.

Collapsology and Prospects for Rain

Collapsology is a study of contemporary anthropology concerning the theoretical collapse of industrial and post-industrial civilization. It is a sky is falling field of human concern. The late Allan Watts wrote a book named ‘The Wisdom of Insecurity’, yet too much is enough already; one should not fire one’s guns until there is a real rather than an imagined enemy at the gate.

A world of possible collapses certainly exist. One might experience the collapse of civilization, or the atmosphere with a cobalt bomb, or the oceanic health with acidification, or of humanity with a viral plague, or of the temperate environments of the planet with global heating. The U.S.A. could have a financial collapse. The Democrat Party could collapse national morality and flood the nation with illegal aliens to replace vestigial Americans that are pro-nationalist rather than global socialists.

The collapse of most life on Earth from the eruption of a super-volcano would be something to worry about for those easily prone to collapse rumors. The space program and lunar base development could collapse and global recession set in with a dicature of the proletariat’s favorite Harvard alumnus taking leadership.

Entering into dark chatonic labyrintian channels of intrigue with the dark light at the end of the tunnel being merely illusory is something to be concerned about. Good leadership can fix most problems, yet bad leadership is required for really substantial national problems. And that bad leadership requires support of Harvard and Hollywood, billionaires and the broadcast media all pulling together to bring a good old fashioned economic art nouveau collapse to materialize. Anything is possible. Even the Lakers could win the 2020 NBA title. Gradual environmental decay, overpopulation and bad zoning and unsustainable economic methodology, and illegal alien surges that render rational political sentiment superfluous appear larger drops of precipitants of potential collapse.

Mars Bound Human Traffic Needs Ice-filled Sphere Shields 'Gainst Cosmic Rays

Apparently cosmic ray exposure for months causes brain damage and cognitive decline in some life forms ( https://thenextweb.com/science/2019/08/07/scientists-ask-nasa-to-reconsider-mars-mission-after-studying-effects-of-space-radiation/ ). 

Water or ice several feet thick filter out cosmic rays, so moon water or water lifted from Earth aboard a Star-liner to an orbiting space-dock facility would be required to fill a hinged, spherical shield for spacecraft launched to orbit before beginning the journey.

Building a space-dock to orbit Earth where advanced finishing and modifying work could be done on space-ships should be a practical international effort.

Ice-spheres would be very simple. Like an empty bottle filled with water that freezes- hollow in the center with room for a space-ship and its engine exhaust .

An example paradigm from my story 'Alterwall Objectives' in my free story collection; Wrangell'd Pulp Fiction. http://www.lulu.com/shop/gary-clifford-gibson/wrangelld-pulp-fiction/ebook/product-23037183.html

"They've sunk the Semi-annual reports of most of the mutual funds I've invested in. I can invent a hundred new devices a year and not sell one...I can't keep this micro-world open" Voevoda said looking out the Big Picture window at the Earth spinning in the distance.

The micro-world was a mostly hollow, creation dry-dock for the construction of material objects through a variety of atom adhesion, accretion techniques. Products were invented, down loaded to micro-world cad/cam and robotically assembled. The entire world could come apart on magnetic hinges and allow the birth of an object two-thirds its own size to emerge. Several similar micro-worlds for various purposes were parked in orbit near the Earth-market.

Smaller micro-worlds were sprayed onto magnetic field molds and flash-fused into place. Dozens of instant Void-ships were turned out each day when business was good. The Solar System was strewn with Voevoda's Diatom brand Cor-Ships. Double hull construction with a fifteen foot thick ice sheet between hulls stopped lethal cosmic ray penetration. The core ships manufactured their own water for ice from universal hydrogen and oxygen from plant photosynthetic respiration.

Cheri removed her static-cling body wrap to place on a one-piece stealth planetfall suit she'd need to reach down to Earth. She stood in back of Patrick, whom was already wearing a similar suit, appearing as a head floating without a body in the green, lush tropical eco-office such were the camouflage waveform properties of the Voevoda model stealth suit.

"I'm ready,” she said.

"Alright" Patrick answered looking ahead in thought out the window.
"Hop.”

Why 'Everyone' Expects a Market Crash in 2020

The impending financial crash of 2020 was determined by expert mathematical savants that added one to the number 2019, deducing that 2020 is next in the inevitable series of 2019 + 1. Plainly with just four months and change left in 2019 the odds are not so good for predicting a 2019 crash- hence the rigorous mathematical extrapolation from the loneliest set of trans-finite irrational numbers provides meat for subset analysis of the future leaving us with corrected 2020 vision.

Police Cars May Need Custom Paint Jobs for Race Relations

America's urban police cars may need custom paint jobs to promote race relations. Bland mono-color or bi-color cars remind too many of the 1980's, or maybe of the 1940s. Green dragon designs, glow in the dark marvel custom screeds, black panthers and purple people eaters; that may be the sort of thing that young people inclined toward racism and violence could find nauseating or inspiring alternatively.

A Spitfire fighter aircraft motif could be effective in El Paso, or possibly a Honker Goose for Yonkers could bring people out to throw cash at policemen instead of water.

Possible motifs- American flag, desert taco, camouflage (six varieties), clouds, burglar, Texas steer with bull horns, Chuck Norris, Stephen King special, Mae West, Red Neck Special, The Jango, Martha Washington Cherry Pie, Chessboard, Black Stone and Apes 2001, Twin Towers Commemorative, Solar System, Dwight Eisenhower, commercial advertising etc.

The Democrat Party is racist. It is not pro-American and about strengthening Americans, its borders and the people that live here. It is anti-white, pro-illegal alien invasion and racist. Its political methods are racist. It opposes traditional American symbols. Civic law enforcement agencies should not be flat-footed inside-line defenders against all of the corrupt swill inertia of the Democrat Party and Hollywood. They should modernize and upgrade to contemporary semiotic symbolic representations- good artwork paint jobs to convey pro-American values for-themselves.

Reality and Platonic Realism

It's worth recalling that Platonic realism is idealism in a manner of speaking. Nominalism takes naive perception of reality for what it is. Reality's etymology is from real. The etymology of real is matter or thing. Reality simply means then, being, in contrast to non-being. Platonic realism has a world-spirit providing structure for everything that exists from a realm of forms. It is as if God ordered the Intelligence to provide structure and form for everything. An example might be the design of parameters of the Universe that are constants- fine tuned constants, that enabled molecules and atomic structure to exist in standard forms. Berkelyan ideaism differs from Hegel's- it has a more existentialist sense about it. There is no 'outside world' Humans exist in-the-Universe and interpret the forces encountered in similar ways. People interpret light-waves of the electro-magnetic spectrum as colors, shapes, motion etc. Marx's ideas are so silly regarding anything besides sociological observations, that they have paltry value metaphysics, physics or whatever. Dialectic-trielectic (CS Pierce)-ideas are synthetic constructions from numerous sources sometimes. etc.

Drunk Drivers Kill 10,000 People Annually; Mass Shooters About 70

Where is the outrage over drunk drivers that kill more than 10,000 Americans every year? Automobiles are killing machines in the hands of alcoholics and dope users. Mass shooters since the Obama administration average killing 50 to 100 Americans. For some reason an alcoholic crashing head on into a vehicle or crowd splattering bodies doesn't merit the same media sensationalism or calls to ban cars and trucks from U.S. highways.

Drunk drivers create mass casualties too. Sometimes they hit a van or run a truck into a school bus  killing more people than at the Wal-mart El Paso shooting. The media has an attitude about mass shooters and guns that it lacks with drunk drivers. They want to ban guns. Remember though, When bottles are banned only babies will have bottles. Guns defend free societies against elite media, apparachiks and rulers that disarm citizens.

Nearly 500 criminal aliens are arrested for homicide each year in the U.S.A. They are a far greater threat to Americans than mass shooters. The media attacks the President and calls for gun control over 50 to 100 people killed annually by mass shooters, and those are an order of magnitude smaller than the murders illegal aliens commit. The American media and Democrat Presidential candidates are ostrich-sloths on the issue.

Time published a chart of the history of mass killings in the United States the past 37 years. Notably, Democrat President Clinton and Obama were drivers for increasing mass shootings in the U.S.A.

Before President Clinton mass shooting numbers were small- usually in the single digits. During the last year of the Clinton administration that number jumped an order of magnitude to 57. President G,W. Bush saw a rapid decrease in mass shootings back to the traditional single digits- and then President Obama took office.

President Obama had several years with large numbers of mass killings; more than 50. His final year in office had 71 fatalities from mass shootings. President Trump has had to grapple with that number himself. That number is about the new normal, except for the year of the Las Vegas shooting when 117 people died under the gun.

Plainly the Congress needs to take action to stop the mass shootings. More people die in one day from automobile accidents that a few years of mass shootings, and something should be done about that too. Congress should build the wall, keep new illegal migrants out and compel law abiding migrants only to be the rule. Society need have a chance to stabilize, eliminate poverty and increase education and ecospheric health.

Drunk drivers continue to slaughter innocent Americans, yet Democrats haven't sought to ban cars. Why not more outrage about the mass casualties that do occur now and then?

Seventy-Thousand Americans die from drug over-doses each year-nearly 2000 each day. Fewer than hundred Americans die in mass shooting annually; Democrats hate on soft targets that would disarm Americans and make them hapless cattle for rich socialists.

What can be done is to stop electing Democrat Presidents, for they are catalysts of hate and violence.

With fewer than 100 people killed from mass shootings annually as the new normal for the U.S.A., the risk of disarming citizens taking that path that leads to the vulnerability of 320 million people instead of 100 is a greater danger. Complete arms control has been the normal state of affairs for dictatorships such as exists in communist countries and socialist dictatorships such as that of NAZI Germany.

About 1000 people are killed every day in U.S. automobile accidents. Those deaths are preventable with state of the art, innovative mass transit networks, yet for convenience people choose not to care. The media sensationalize the deaths of 70 to 100 Americans annually because it makes good news headlines. There is risk involved in both automobiles and gun ownership. Guns however serve a real purpose of keeping society free from oppressive criminals. Guns don't create global warming- automobiles do.

Without guns citizens cannot defend against jackbooted thugs that pound on the door in the dark of night. People shuffle off meekly to extermination camps. Jews later burn eternal flames at memorials. Contented socialist elites examine statistics for whom else may require liquidation.
