Mass, Metaphysics and the Higgs Field

 Since the discovery in 2012 of the Higgs boson and confirmation of the existence of the Higgs field a lot of work has gone into producing popular explanations of what the Higgs Field is and how it supports the existence of the mass. Metaphysics could be said to be the physics that one doesn’t know. For me the Higgs Field and the way it supports the apparent existence of mass was and remains mostly metaphysics while for some physicists it is less so. There is a video a couple minutes in length that summarizes how the Higgs Field works to produce the appearance that mass exists.

 Photons and other particles of a class called bosons are massless. Photons are the force carrying particles of the electro-magnetic field. There is a duality of articles as waves. A particle might be said to be like the peak of a wave where strength is greatest when observed. Sub-atomic particles acquire mass and existence simply through bouncing around or being slowed down in the Higgs Field from a massless speed of light condition to a slower than light condition with mass created with the acquisition of a third dimension from relativistic effects instead of the  two-dimensional condition of massless particle-waves.

 Mass is an apparent state of massless particles  locked into a steady state of slower-than light being observed by sentient beings like humans embedded in the somewhat illusory or virtual mass of the Higgs Field. I have wondered why gravity also travels at the speed of light- it is the standard speed or normal condition of massless particles, and the answer may be that gravity attracting mass is also an illusory or secondary characteristic of mass existing as a secondary or contingent element within the Higgs Field and that also raises the question of the curvature of space with mass as in the general theory of relativity.

 It is likely that several very complex cosmology issues have very simple explanations when they understood.   One might ask what came first; the Higgs Field or the Universe? Since the Universe is simply mass that seems to exist in the Higgs Field and the Higgs Field encompasses all of known space the Higgs Field seems primary with all of its contingent and secondary apparent qualities of mass, space and time occurring within it.

 What is the Higgs Field in-itself? Field theories account for things like the electro-magnetic field, what empowers the Higgs? The Higgs could exist like a dendrite with information in it between two neurons of God; it really is metaphysics to me.  Creating a virtual Universe with virtual space, virtual gravity, virtual mass and virtual time (itself within relativistic criteria) within a Higgs Field possibly of two dimensional energy seems greater than just adding water to a packet of instanverse. The Higgs energy and energy for-itself are just about imponderable. One may discern the effects yet not the energy-as-itself. That may be the prime mover as it were.

 In human history there is a story of Sargon being found as an infant floating in a reed basket and taken to the Akkadian court where he was raised and  became the greatest warrior and king of the bronze age debatably.  He unified the Summerian-Akkadian civilization under the rule of the Akkadians for a change. Moses arrived in a similar way and nearly ruled Egypt as a prince before leading the Israelis from captivity in a similar fashion. The boy in a basket story may be something like the stork method of accounting for arrival for superior warrior-political leaders in ancient history- a simple yet effective lead-in to the salient facts. The apparent characteristics of mass, gravity and space-time observed from within may eventually have simple explanations when another Einstein rolls down the river of time.

US Government Never Hacks Anyone, Unlike Russia

 The U.S. Government never hacks anyone or foreign governments unlike Russia credited recently with hacking into U.S. Government computers.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/sen-dick-durbin-alleged-russian-hack-virtually-declaration-of-war

The U.S. Government doesn't 'hack' into telephonic communications anywhere without a good reason, and the American broadcast media never listens in to cell phone communications. Neither has Facebook or Google ever rigged or hacked emails or chatrooms nor have their employees ever rigged search results or skimmed earnings from bloggers. Unlike the Russian Government the U.S.A. only does defensive hacking for self-defense purposes; never anything offensive or splicing like in to trans-Atlantic broadband cables under the oceans or elsewhere. Apparently the U.S. DOD Cyber Warfare team may have planted malware in the Russia electrical grid yet if they did that was probably a charitable effort to increase its efficiency and was misunderstood by nandering naybobs of negativism.

Dick Durbin has expressed a broad Wall- Street sentiment to marginalize Russia even before the new, honest Biden administration takes office. The President elect has explained convincingly that his brilliant son Hunter is a victim of political opponents trying to get to him. There obviously was no chance that Ukrainian entrepreneurs were trying to get to him for influence and military supplies to war eastward on traditional Russian lands. The $400,000 of undeclared income from Burisma in Ukraine for expert advice from someone without any experience might have put President's Trump 2016 campaign designer Paul Manafort in jail perhaps, yet Manafort was guilty of packaging Mr. Trump properly to win, unlike 2020 when he was finally nabbed by the Mueller Investigation.

Plainly Republicans may seek their own Jerry Nadler to nail President Biden with high crimes and misdemeanors if they can win the House in 2022. In my opinion what is obvious- even more than a Pompeo win over President Biden in 2024, is the problem of Americans seeking antipathetic relations with Russia for short-term Wall Street proplits presenting great long-term externalities of lost opportunities to the United States. Seeking amicable relations requires intellect Democrats lack. With a strong Russian integration into western economies defense costs and threats to the United States will be  far less than with Russia forced to ally itself more with China and various anti-American global alternative actors.  China requires U.S. investors to surrender to Chinese owners 51% of the stock of any corporation doing business there. Russians may offer a better deal for U.S. investors. Its good to get in on the ground floor sometimes.

There are some that feel Capitalism unto enslavement of the masses for their own good  is the only alternative to socialism and communist dystopia. Actually there is democracy and egalitarian free enterprise with intelligent ecological economic political economics as a middle ground that is more feasible for human survival on Earth- if that is a concern to some.

Someone wrote that U.S. politics has become dominated by emotion instead of reason and that plainly seems true i.m.o. Best one can hope for is a Pompeo vs Biden 2024 race and Biden loses, then in 2028 it will be Pompeo vs. Harris and the latter may win. I would like a candidate with a degree in Ecological Economics with a semblance of classical political pragmatism regarding a democracy, yet that is as unlikely to happen as a million dollar per citizen stimulus check.  I ran across a good quote in a book I read recently; "The truth is treason in an empire of lies".

The One and the Many

 Is the ocean one thing or a word describing countless (though finite in number) molecules of H2O? The question of monism and pluralism is fundamental concerning everything that exists, and of events and processes, therefore it was a common concern of pre-Socratic philosophers not simply because they might have shared the issue once it was thought of by a single individual. Parmenides and Heraclitus approached the problem of monism and pluralism from different yet not antipathetic points of view. In that regard they share a concern that hasn't been terminated as worthy of inquiry from fields as diverse as quantum mechanics, Multiverse theory and perception. Compound objects composed of numerous parts in solid objects and sub-atomic particles entangled in three dimensions with the Higgs field reflect the one and the issue as do organic beings. 

One might wonder what logic is and how it exists in relation to epistemology. It is also possible to ask if logic is static or if it is subject to relativity (as reshaped by spatial deformation vis Einstein's General Theory for example). If logic is recognition of relationships among objects or ideas as objects then it could be that logic is a kind of pattern recognition with which one may process information and make extrapolations from a given position concerning a series as in math theory or mathematical metaphysics.- If one is looking for a consistence in logic, that would be a necessary consistence of relations and patterns, shapes and occurrences that would comprise a system of logic. It is therefor challenging to say that logic is inflexible or must be regarding certain relations that must transcend particular logical systems and need be present in every logic system.-Because the issue becomes a little obtuse I shall leave it here for the present with the observation or agreement with a point made above concerning the utility of valid logic within a given system of logic rather than considering a Universal logic, though the Universe itself materially as particles embedded in a Higgs Field apparently seems to have a logical structure for everything in it at the quantum level.

One may have classical logic-Aristotelian logic and move through history to Leibnitz's mathematical logic, Frege and modern symbolic logic and onward to deontic , modal and other new logic systems. Maybe the proliferation of systems of logic supports the concept of logic as a formal system for representing abstract relations of fact and fiction useful for inductive as well as deductive reasoning.

Inexplicable; Excellence and Punky Billionaire Presidential Behavior

 When the Nobel Committee gave the Peace Prize to Barrack Obama people were surprised since he hadn't done anything yet besides being black and elected. It turned out during his terms of office that he would have better deserved a Nobel War Prize that even his speech acknowledged. Donald Trump actually deserves a Peace Prize for his excellence at bringing four Arab nations to sign off with diplomatic relations with Israel. What is inexplicable is how someone able to bring off a diplomatic coup that wasn't accomplished since Egypt did in return for the Sinai acts like a spoilt punky billionaire following his re-election defeat. To this time he is still in denial claiming he was cheated.

President-elect Biden is a threat to turn back salutary Middle East developments and that should be a concern for national politics. He may also return to stepped up hostility with Russia in order to make Hunter Biden's Ukrainian pay-masters happy and persuaded that their real estate interests are swelling. president Trump should be awarded a Nobel for his Middle East work next year even if the Biden administration is more to Sweden's liking politically.

The Republican Party may have a problem former President trying to be in the spotlight for a few years more as a kind of never-goes-away  Clintonesque figure. He is the best chance the Biden administration has for winning re-election in 2024. If Sect. Pompeo or some other fellow with capability is the party nominee Republicans might actually retake the White House.

Stimulus and the Corked Bat of Special Interests

 Special interests have taken over the U.S.A. and government of the nation. A special interest in regard to the founding parameters of the United States could be regarded as an interest or  organization limited to just some of the citizens all of the time. Today virtually any corporation, church denomination, civic and social organization, fort profit and non-profit business could rightly be considered to be a special interest in regard to federal legislation. The federal stimulus conundrum that cannot get passed because of partisan wrangling about special interests rather than those of all U.S. citizens this year drew my attention.

Free federal dollars flow to special interest citizens and aliens rather than to all citizens equally- that helps establish corporatism and its socialist junior partner.

  Today is Sunday so I will write something concerning church structure as an upgradable special interest (that doesn’t require federal bail-outs). When the U.S.A. was founded there were no corporations in the nation and far fewer special interests seeking to benefit from preferred federal legislation transferring money to them. The Hudson Bay Company and East India Company were the two entities that most closely resembled corporations in North America and India respectively. The Catholic Church in the U.S.A. might be thought of as the largest corporate structure in the U.S.A. of that era. Church structures might be thought of as having ossified in forms created during or before the reformation era circa 1500-1600 with church pastors of Protestant churches shepherding ecclesiastic formations adapted to village life of illiterate peasants. In the United States presently there actually are few places like that. Another reform to place Christians on a level ground sharing liturgical tasks in small groups within a Priesthood of Believers would be more appropriate. A national work-credit and job bank with attendance and participation records, referrals and sharing could keep all Christians active, evangelical and free of certain emergency medical and financial troubles.

 Special interest legislation and/or end-times theology along with anachronistic clerical forms can take Christians fairly from meaningful participation in Democracy and accurate Biblical hermeneutics. A wrong understanding of the constitution of the U.S.A. and founding democratic principles can lead politicians to seek legislation that benefits corporations and busy-ness as a special interest prioritized above that of common citizens of the United States. Legislators wrangle over how to benefit people that own corporations and other busy-ness activity instead of all of the people of the United States during the pandemic. Real shareholders own corporations hence the U.S. Government has no legitimate right to transfer wealth to them instead of every citizen of the United States equally if it chooses to give away money normally or during an emergency for relief. Competition in a free enterprise environment isn’t supposed to end when it becomes tough for the established whereat the government will bail out the prosperous and/or filthy rich. Corporations are special interests that politically incompetent legislators have learned to worship. Actually citizen busyness and free enterprise could develop in innumerable other forms; it wasn’t necessary to evolve Wall Street monopoly of busyness and over government.

  In Washington D.C. politicians and pundits generally have forgotten that the people of the nation who own the nation politically in a manner of speaking are everyone rather than special interests named corporations. To send federal money as grants or loans to special collectives of people; to favor select persons as special interests of congress above that of the people of the United States is to support and ossify a particular non-democratic approach to governance that does in effect changes democracy into corporatism, oligarchy or plutonomy. Some socialist like the corporate approach because it does annihilate the principle of individual sovereignty and free enterprise in favor of corporate enterprise and other forms of mass collective business that readily morphs into socialism through a number of means. There is a false dialectic emitted from each side that has corporatism vs. socialism rather than corporatism and socialism as collective entities versus democracy, individualism and national sovereignty with secure borders. Corporatists and socialists are globalists that run roughshod over national boundaries.

 In the Internet era corporate hegemony allows self-tightening consolidation of wealth and power to plutocrat-led corporations. Every written communication can be scanned by insiders and a percent or all financial value harvested/skimmed from the work of everyone utilizing the ubiquitous corporate internet sites. With the U.S. Government ordinarily transferring wealth to large banks with zero or very low interest loans that lets those banks owned by Plutocrats electronically mint five times the amount loaned to loan out or invest themselves ordinary citizen free enterprise become as laughably non-competitive as laborers are to international dope traffickers who can afford to buy the business they labor for. The sole advantage of under-the-table illegal alien labor is that they can at least find work outside direct corporate employment yet. Corporate networks can ban any individual inconvenient from their optimal profit narratives they choose to.

 Corporations as special interests and their CEO’s attract a common kind of individual worker-tool seeking money and power. Like herbivores attracted by thirst to a water-hole along their own route, corporate leadership share the same goals and exploit similar methods to subjugate and harvest profit from every empirical facticity within their power- hence they expand their power and wealth with insatiable drive. That has a very dampening effect upon individual citizen free enterprise and liberty to express dissenting personal opinions on-line without reprisal.

US Senate Letting Covid Relief Bill Die

 The U.S. Senate is letting the 2^nd Covid emergency relief bill die for partisan reasons. The Senate leaders seek partisan advantages and cannot agree to let that go and simply pass a plain cash stimulus check to Americans to use presently.

 Senator McConnell wants to give blanket immunity too corporations from Covid 19 lawsuits. Instead of concern for cash-strapped citizens that need cash today he cares about corporations and corporate profits next year.

  

Senator Schumer and Speaker Pelosi care more for funding their vast left-wing state governments and funding deficits than for ordinary citizens of the U.S.A. even in their own states. The best simple compromise is to pass immediate $2400 cash relief stimulus checks for all Americans let Senate and House leaders clash over their special interests with mace, swords and shields of rhetoric after Christmas. A third Wilder-Fury fight or a Joshua-Fury or Wilder-Fury battle have been put off; what should not be put off is immediate cash relief for the poor and middle class that need pay rent, pay for classes or fund tooth extractions. I recently heard an elder gentleman trying to get a loan to pay for an elder brother’s covid 19 hospitalization; apparently he lacked free Bethesda hospitalization.

 What should matter now are the people of the United States. It’s their federal government; special interests can wait. New York can freeze rent payments for police and firemen. California can ditto that. State employees then can work for half-pay. Corporations can suck an egg on immunity from criminal action during the Covid 19 crisis...

Basic Police Reform- A Modern Primer

 Basically there are two kinds of people in the world; those that want power over others and those that don’t. Politicians tend to want power and reform is an issue that puts them in the spotlight for a term or two without actually needing to get anything meaningfully done. Police reform to protect the public from police as well as criminals  is growing  in popularity since the tradition of urban riots by blacks whose lives matter have discovered the police seem to serve the non-black  population more  so than themselves. Defunding police has been held to be an effective way to halt police interference with black sin cities, some of who are alleged to perpetrate crimes.

I believe there are numerous ways to regard and interpret history. Historical analysis that is accurate and useful as well as comprehensive is requisite for determining how to correctly address an issue and act upon it to bring it toward a desirable state of affairs. There is a fundamentally correct comprehensive analysis and several proprietary and fragmented and possible true perspectives that are insufficiently comprehensive for basic application to correct an issue.  Police it should be noted worked with some harshness in some cities before the era of large scale black neo-integration in schools and so forth. In somewhat segregated areas crimes did apparently exist that stimulated the non-black public desire for effective police. Police corruption in those circumstances tended to revolve around insider economic crimes when they occurred.

 It does seem that there is a conflation of race identity politics and economic concerns with police acting for-themselves inappropriately. Police force is regarded by some apparently as a de facto segregation mechanism and by others as a defense line of protection from young savage hordes. Obviously police have a civil function that has awkwardly discovered itself in the midst of historically evolving racial demographics and economics politics on the front line as it were. What can be done to allow traditional civil police functions to continue in cities where contentious political restiveness makes them appear as a political antagonist?

 Traditionally analysts have espoused racial integration of police as a remedy to racial enmity. Realistically though with the breakdown in trust in police and politics and rise of communication I would guess that technology and privatization augmenting police law enforcement as well as integration of internet broadband communication and public participation is likely to develop slowly. That is, drones, robots and public participatory oversight of police work will grow to enhancement and follow police tracking of criminal and suspected criminal activity. 

 I am not saying that contracts to the Interrogation and Death Corporation robotic division will clear the streets with Robocop; simply that Sally’s On-Line Security service will field insect drones to buzz around police cars and hives and follow criminals about dark city streets and into dens of iniquity when the lawful need arises. Something like that will comprise police reform as public participation in police work and evidence gathering in non-traditional technological ways arises.

  Some will be concerned about corporate takeover of law enforcement and the nation, and that is well taken. If the Department of Dense has a Four-star General who can upgrade to Dictator for a Year should need arise as did Roman Empire Consuls during time of war, who is able to return fire for fire and Sarin-dippitze foe nerve agent communicators, that would be keeping in line with the trend toward national corporatist governance aided and abetted by communist collectivist leadership and 1% plutocrats in the U.S.A. and ironically, in China. Godless atheist leadership in crowded demographics leads to certain forms of social interaction that are more or less problematic when people are unintellectual worker sex-tools and drones bereft of nuclear families developmentally speaking. Scientists at some point tend to find the one degree of elimination of surplus undesirable population for scientific reasons so the world may be saved. Less than a cuddly scenario of course, so Democrats may seek some other Draconian and repressive way to bring utopia to the world during the Anthropocene mass extinction phenomenon. Hell wasn’t built in a day, so effectively stupid governance takes many generations of politicians and broadcast slut-media-sewers to fructify hell on Earth before survivors can flee to Mars and elsewhere.

 There are innumerable political viewpoints in the U.S.A. today without comprehensiveness that are often in contradiction or conflict with others. Maybe 3% of political world-views are valid and would be effective if promoted, and the rest are simply varying degrees of incorrectness. Luckily for Americans political grading is done on the curve so even failing ideas and work can rise to the top as major party content platforms as they have with bi-partisan success. Police reform ineffectiveness is just one of many planks of contemporary political platforms with a good rate of disfunction.

Two models and goals for police structure seem to exist in the present context of reformed structure and traditional structure. ‘The Art of War’, I believe it was if I recall the book I read decades ago, mentions interior and exterior lines for attackers and defenders. ‘The Art of Reasoning’ informs us about classical and symbolic logic. Machiavelli’s ‘The Prince’ might have suggested, if the modern political environment and broadcast media had existed in his day, of the logical value of fast transition of exterior and exterior lines reversing roles of attackers and defenders, The reformed model of the Democrat Party and non-white ideal would end the perceived defense of white people as a majority party by police departments. Policing could be flip-flopped to change their role from one defending white controllers on interior lines to one of attacking dwindling whites from exterior lines of black and minority based community policing.

 A new reformed law enforcement agency would be community-based while the existing police departments would be defunded and eliminated largely. A similar paradigm for reform existed in pre-war nazifying Germany when under Hitler’s leadership the brown shirts of the national socialist party took over society. Local police department constables at some stage needed to stand aside to let the new political and social facticty of change take charge. Brown shirts or storm troopers could enforce the political will and decide in a fresh paradigm who the real public enemies are. The broadcast media would easily inform the public of what worked and what did not. The broadcast media has great offensive and defensive political power and returns periodically or partially to its role of enforcing political will to power.

Eliminating police departments in the United States so a more Democrat Party led law enforcement structure can take control would not exactly duplicate Hitler’s model although there are obvious similarities. Community based police models could include mafiosa enforcement agents and mass public disarmament to render political opponents easier to subjugate. As in the former Soviet Union criminal activity by non-state actors would be very low. The public internal security forces strengthen to such an extreme that dissent becomes unfeasible.

If two models for police structure exist in the United States today- traditional and Nazi, they would require a segregated civil structure if each were to exist simultaneously with traditionalists in white communities and tribal mafiosa-goon Democrat thugs under bosses in  non-white communities. Unfortunately, or luckily as one may regard it, the economy of the United States is not designed to be racially segregated. It is somewhat amusing to consider the impracticalities of segregating products and services along racial lines in America with Wal-mart using different personnel to deliver black soap to black neighborhoods and white soap to white neighborhood etc. Amazon could use drones to deliver to all areas of course since machines are racial only in a nuts and bolts sort of way, and it might be possible to stop taxing products purchased from the internet so local manufacture of high-tech products in rural Alaska for example won’t face unfair competition from products made in China or white neighborhood colleges like M.I.T. Basketball and football would require separate leagues and audiences only of appropriate race with television commercials directed to appropriate viewers. Federal oversight of Wall- Street would require special black and white law enforcement with community police mafia on one side and traditional law enforcement structure on the other with each working only to secure corporate behavior of the apposite race. It seems rather expensive and corrupt actually.
