Pre-destination and a level four multiverse

 Predestination is a difficult concept for many of the Christian faith. It implies that God has pre-determined the entire Universe and the role of people in it. Some in the secular have speculated that if the Universe is entirely deterministic no one is accountable for their actions- combined with rampant disbelief in God that is accompanied with a belief in the non-existence of objective moral laws made by the Creator. There is a good explanatory video on the concept of predestination by RC Sproul- a good theology instructor that explains the Christian point of view.

So I wanted to say that predestination seems almost necessary to me since God is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. The created Universe is comparable to a thought in the mind of God that he has had from start to finish and foreknows from eternity. In a way one might infer that the perfection of God has thought of everything that ever would be thought from eternity with Himself, for-himself. Others learn what glimpses of data God wills them to experience when that was in his design for whatever purpose He has and when the Holy Spirit and CEO Jesus Christ actualize.

There is a physical account of an entirely pre-determined multiverse. While I believe that every possible Universe that could ever exist in time already exists in the mind of God, the physicist Max Tegmark made a cosmological explanation of the way the Universe and multiverse may exist already actualized- every Universe that could possibly exist does exist already, fully from the beginning and end of its history.

It is funny that evolution is a paradigm that well supports the theological paradigm of pre-destination inasmuch as God foreknows who will evolve to accept salvation through Jesus Christ and who should receive the grace of the Holy Spirit to be led that way; and who would not. Those that evolve to be anti-Christian and faithless souls naturally are unsuitable for eternal life in the presence of God. They evolve with free will and select unbelief for-themselves.

I believe that concept may have originated with the late physicist Hugh Everett. Well, at any rate, Max Tegmark fully elucidated the multiverse and went into more complete description. I will post a video where Tegmark explains his concept of the multiverse. 

Tegmark also wrote a book titled 'The Mathematical Universe' that is still quite a good read though a few years old. At the core he speculates the Universe and multiverse be actually be made of math, and that idea again is fine with me since God is a pretty good mathematician Himself I would think and math exists in mind rather than as physical objects.

https://www.amazon.com/Our-Mathematical-Universe-Ultimate-Reality/dp/0307599809/ref=sr_1_28?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1383780411&sr=1-28

The entire multiverse may be actualized from alpha to omega and it is just the minds of sentient beings that move through it switch with every thought to the appropriate location and universe. That sounds terribly complex and improbable perhaps, yet is may be that it actually is. The divine mechanics of God are likely to be more difficult to know for humans than quantum mechanics that are themselves challenging for non-scientists, non-physics majors ordinary folks.

Many people have difficulty juggling the idea of Christian determinism and physical determinism especially with the concept of quantum uncertainty thrown in, juxtaposed like a plank of space dimensions into time. The physical universe of energy, based on math or thought as a healthful pre-existing condition. One should enjoy it rather than wait for the ordinary authorities of education to be clued in to the point of making it doctrine.

If Covid 19 did escape from Wuhna lab, that demonstrates the risks in modern virology and DNA-RNA research

 A former head of the Center for Disease control expressed the opinion that the Covid 19 virus escaped from a Wuhan lab that was researching various bat excrements nuggets for viral research. Regardless of the truth or falsehood of that vector of delivery there should not be antipathy toward the Chinese and American researchers that worked at the lab or the people of China nor that Chinese guy in Los Angeles who sells tacos to the hungry masses yearning for salsa and sweet and sour sauce on their hamburger. The virus should be viewed as a test of the planetary emergency response capacity toward lethal pathogens that may arise in the future given that their is a surfeit of research with new technology going on every continent of your basic Earth.

One day there will probably be instructions describing how to  build your own lethal pathogen distributed widely on the dark web under a special damp rock in a dank sub-basement someplace that will allow the second year biology student to assemble his own designer virus. It is just a matter of time until someone yields to the temptation one would think and a perennial ostrich outlook might not be the best response.

Ending Senate filibuster rule might herald the start of reign by coercion era

 Ending the Senate filibuster rule that requires sixty votes to overcome would enable rule by a majority of one to be the new normal in the legislative branch, at least while the Senate is evenly divided and the VP casts the winning vote. It would start and era of increasing partisan division and end any semblance of concurrence is U.S. governance wherein laws are not really supposed to be made without a majority of the people through their elected representation going along with it. That is there should be something of a consensus in a general opinion about promulgating a new law instead of a slight advantage that can force onerous laws upon half of the nation.

Not surprisingly Senator Biden has expressed support for ending the filibuster rule.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/filibuster-reform-senate-biden-republican-abuse/

That opinion is wrong and lacks an historical perspective without a sense of keeping the nation together rather than ripping it apart like some kind of gourmet pulled-pork.

Writers should be wary of corporate intel gathering social media sites

 Writers should be careful contributing to corporate social media sites like Quora that may pay a little for contributing content. Corporate has very deep pockets and is networked on Wall Street. Appealing to the masses they can vacuum up content and information and use it to learn about American political sentiments. They can also censor writers and delete content, ban writers and/or content for violating corporate policy which can be interpreted of course many ways. If one is not politically to the left questions at Quora for example can be regarded as hostile or not sincere and evoke warnings and temporary bans.  A writer and question asker can work for hundreds of hours and not receive a penny in compensation and his copyright trail security put at risk. One morning one logs in to discover one is locked out and receives a hate e-mail describing all of the offenses one has committed on the corporate web site. How troubling it is to learn that one’s best writing is ‘vandalism’.

The more questions one asks at Quora the more comments One may get. I replied to at least make an evaluation on every comment and that consumes hours. One is paid (in theory) for asking questions rather than for writing essays and answers. My writing was viewed 11,500 times the last month and was increasing a few hundred each day.

Social media sites that decide to ban a writer usually confiscate unpaid earnings and may continue to profit from the questions and answers a writer has contributed, when the writer is gone. They also are like to dump numerous slanderous and false accusations about the writer in order to intimidate and to justify their extreme adverse action.

Corporations are not individuals, yet the law in some senses regards corporations as individuals; irresponsible ones that don’t need to suffer the consequences of their actions in some ways because they do not actually exist as living beings.  Corporations are collectives and exert tremendous corrupting social effects on the U.S.A. Some reform is wanted to reign in their transformative, non-democratic social governing power. Imagine if Olympic individual events like boxing or judo allowed collectives to compete against real individuals. Big collectives should not be free to smear individuals with a plethora of quasi-legal labels when they decide to kill a writer’s work after first inviting them to participate. The collective then acts as a big international info-terrorist agency calling to mind an old marching lyric; ‘a yellow bird with a yellow bill was sitting on my window sill, I lured it in with crumbs of bread and then I smashed its f’ing head’.

The United States was founded on principles of individual rights and freedoms rather than corporate or collective rights masquerading as individuals. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is the justice most heavily invested in Wall Street collectives and casting vote for homosexual marriage- a corporate collectivist policy. Corporations are ending the era of America as a nation of strong individualism and rendering it unto global fascist collectivist entities. Corporations and corporate wealth buy and sell other ‘individuals’ (corporations) as it suits their purposes of acquiring wealth, political and financial power; they own the broadcast media and annihilate the value of U.S. citizenship with a surfeit of trans-national ‘business’. Corporations, unlike individuals, can be everywhere on Earth at the same time with a foot upon every continent and nation.

It would be very easy to write an algorithm that would enable a writer to know which content is not liked by the corporation and to put it on a list for corrections or removal, rather than to keep things hidden until the writer is suspended temporarily two or three times and then nuked. Social media sites soliciting writers to ‘partner’ as in the case at Quora and to share earnings may be taking the first step out the door to being banned- it is a god route to take to remove writers that would not otherwise be banned simply for writing essays from a right-of-center point of view (the social media sites tend to have a leftist-corporatist point of view and view criticism of corporation concentrating wealth very dimly. There can be no excuse for failing to write a proper algorithm that can sort, classify, hold, release and otherwise process individual questions and answers in a way that is fair and that prevents the need or opportunity for the corporate controller to suddenly detonate a writer’s work and ban him form the website. It is just the will of corporate to make demiurge, little gods of power of themselves working to rule the free publishing and politics of the people of the United States and planet.

I graduated from a computer programming and systems analysis course in 1981 so I know that it isn’t too difficult to write computer algorithms and sort materials posted into neat little files that would let a writer know what is troublesome to the corporate publisher and what isn’t. It takes a crude and crass will to power and control to attack and force through bans with justifications in the fine print and applied hermeneutics of the atheist priesthood of corporate policy dogma. They expect writers to be witless idiot minions that are as bland as Adolph Eichmann writing banal questions and bureaucratic, authoritative replies. I read Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s book ‘The Cancer Ward’ and it had a prologue transcript of his interview by the local Soviet censorship board. It is worth reading. The United States is evolving to be that kind of society spliced into the pig-dog of corporatism and The Brave New World. The most promotable are those amoral youth that regard use-truth as more truthful that objective facts in the belief that al truth and meaning is subjective.

Deep pockets and vast interconnected wealth mean that corporate media can be nothing more than shills for the rich so they can get any worthwhile thoughts from anyone so far as possible. It can mean that they can have a political check so basic as to know what sort of actions might be useful for manipulating stories and spinning political news to their own ends. In time politics in the United States outside of corporate control may simply perish and the will to power of corporate wealth will be complete.

Corporate power to censor or control and even repress individual writers has no limits these days. In several respects the United States has taken on some of the characteristics of the communist party of the former Soviet Union with the rich in the role of the elite of the C.P.U. They desired a one-party state and in the United States the corporate party is fulfilling that goal of dictatorship over the proletariat.

One of the useful tools of the U.S.A. as a reincarnation of the essence of the F.S.U. is Darwinian evolution ideology that has made it excusable to have purely secular morality and the downgrading and ridicule in some cases of people of faith in God. Science can provide information about the material universe, and humans may misinterpret the paradigmatic axis of the book of Genesis, yet all may fail to be able to comprehend that the Bible is the actual truth and is not in conflict with the natural order of the creation. Humans misunderstand cosmology and hermeneutics while pastors may have wrong creation and eschatological ideas to balance the anti-faith ideas pervasive with some in the community of physicists. Corporations and their minions can actually instill a spirit in exerting repressive evolutionary actions and controls to force humanity to accept their atheist world-view. The great benefit for the rich is that they can concentrate wealth and believe they are improving the social life of humanity by forcing secular worldview morality and social structure everyplace on Earth.

Homosexual ‘marriages’ are one of the most obvious evolution paradigm establishments forced recently upon the people of the United States by the Supreme Court of the United States. It is interesting that German theologians have criticized the Pope for failing to give blessings to homosexual marriages. For implementation of the new world order of homosexual and bi-sexual social hegemony and usurpation of existing family structures it is useful to have sympathizers rise to occupy social positions of authority including those of the church, and to downgrade traditionalists. With sympathetic authorities even the church can have its morality corrupted and secularized, much less the judiciary and other political offices. If the laity or the masses protest, they can be told to eat it for they are not expert and haven’t the graduate degrees and expertise that insiders with authoritative opinions have, in some cases because they couldn’t afford to do so.

German Catholic Theologians may be too homo to accept the Popes statement rejecting blessing of homo marriage

 Catholic theologians of Germans are restive and critical about the Pope's decision to reject blessing homosexual marriage. That shows how far the Catholic Church has fallen from its glory days during the middle ages before it chose to fight with Protestant reformers like Martin Luther. Germany has had religious issues for a very long time.

The Bible is plain in condemning homosexuality and homosexual marriages and any theologian worth his salt has no trouble in seeing that. However a secularized Germany that is drowned in Darwinist evolution and technology with a long tradition of a state church- even to this day, may present a tough nut for the Catholic Church to find men willing to serve; hence they may attract more than their share of homosexuals to the priesthood that would like to be able to marry themselves to one another for fun and games while taking a break from the tough chores of theological contemplations.

https://religionnews.com/2021/03/23/its-the-vaticans-lgbtq-theology-that-is-disordered/

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/15/world/europe/vatican-same-sex-unions.html

https://www.episcopalnewsservice.org/2021/03/17/episcopalians-rally-support-for-lgbtq-community-after-vatican-refuses-same-sex-blessings/

German Catholic theologians are not alone in wishing to make a farce of the Catholic and Christian Church; Episcopalians have also selected the road to hell and offer support to Germans wishing to go on the broad road leading to destruction.

For traditional Christians with moderate beliefs the ongoing destruction of Christian values to confirm the church to secularized evolutionary values is concerning. In a social environment that has experience a loss of faith due to the rise of Darwinian natural philosophy the transformation or evolution of the Church to a non-spiritual and even anti-Christian reformation is a logical development. The church does have a secular, worldly city to inhabit while the heavenly city is a distant hope that is increasingly dim to the worldly.

With the ongoing loss of faith and development unto doom the Pope may need to look ahead to the future degradation of the Church as it moves toward pure ritualized secularism and ask himself if that is what he really wants. Perhaps it is time for him to consider a deep reformation of the Church so far that it reunites with conservative protestant churches in a priesthood of believers format- a new auxiliary church as it were, that allows full participation of confessing Christian in basic and timeless Christian values with priestly roles shared in small groups along structured liturgical lines that are rotated from week to week.

https://thehill.com/homenews/news/544676-pope-cuts-salaries-for-cardinals-clerics-to-save-other-jobs

A Christian church in a modern and skeptical post-Darwinian world with universal literacy, democracy and a measure of egalitarianism should be realistic about supporting a church for people of actual faith that are participating because they believe and want to without concern for establishing a personal ecclesiastical career. That church for a priesthood of believers- every Christian is a priest Martin Luther wrote; should provide spiritual and secular reinforcement for the Christian life of people of faith. It shouldn't be that difficult.

Here is a free book with some commentary concerning the secularized post-Darwinian challenge to the Church and apologetics.

It wasn't every necessary for the great division between those that regard marriage as strictly heterosexual and those that believe it isn't. If the homosexual crowd hadn't desired social hegemony they could have pressed for the establishment of a new institution for homosexual couples or triples etc. and left marriage alone. They instead chose the way of social domination to force the world to conform to their new world order. They set the footing for protracted social conflict, and that didn't do anyone any good.

Ideas for an Honest Voting Technology

 Besides paper votes and hanging chads the United States in its vast number of voting districts in different states has had some inconsistencies in getting honest vote tallies that leave out issues of ambiguity concerning the veracity of the vote. What can be done to realistically restore the vote to reliability.

In the modern era some sort of electronic and analogue vote technology probably will continue to be used. To assure that each voter is the true legally registered voter a face i.d. that can be electronically verified with a voter endorsement would need to go ahead. Once Real ID is everywhere in the 50 states automatic registration of voters of age to vote should go ahead so a voter can vote without any other registration required.

When going in to vote the ID would be inserted in a machine that would issue a voters number that would go print on the eballot. The voter would get a receipt with his or her voter number on it to keep and check out on the internet at a web site listing every voter number that cast a vote. 

It would be hard to cast a fake vote, or to throw out a vote, misunderstand a vote or for any voter not to be able to vote..

Republicans should have to worry about fake votes and Democrats shouldn't have trouble getting registered voters  to to make it to vote.


Banned from Quora- another Democrat centered web site

"Quora Moderation banned you from Quora.

Quora Moderation banned you from Quora for this reason:

Your account has been banned because it has been linked to multiple violations of Quora's policies and guidelines. To learn more about our policies and guidelines, please visit: https://help.quora.com/hc/en/sections/360000092866"

I was banned from another site- Helium.com (that no longer exists) during the Obama administration though I was peer-rated in the top 5% of writers there. This ban is a kind of deja vous.

When I was banned from Quora recently I was allowed to appeal the decision, so I did and wrote... 

 "I am rather unhappy about being banned from Quora since I wrote nothing besides reasonable questions and answers. it seems like every time I begin earning money at one of these Boston-based internet sites I get banned. At the least stopping the partners program would have sufficed for you to keep the money. Since I wrote quite a few quality articles I wonder if they will be deleted or if Quora will continue to use them and exploit me as a writer to profit from the very quality answers. 

 Quora and other Boston-based leftist websites should not spring bans on writers like traps. It would be very simple to have some sort of an accurate scale that shows progress toward being banned in order to allow a writer to know how close he is and to copy his posts before he has no access to them."

I discovered that Quora actually is based in Mountain View California

Suspicious and malicious activity is quite a load of insulting, defamatory schlop. I will leave off with that. You should examine your own hateful and very biased toward the Democrat party activity before throwing stones at others doing their very best, abd contributing their best material.

You did not answer my question about the very good articles I have posted the past several months; do you plan to exploit those for continuing profit and confiscate my earnings from the partner program too?

It would be helpful to have specific instances of what you regard as policy violations with specific material as soon as they occur so one may learn what it is that Quora hates and wants to repress. It would also be helpful to have a measure of how close to being banned one is before one is actually banned for it strikes out of the blue like a hateful bolt of lightening striking dead the account that a writer has worked so diligently on for several months.
