Conflating Power with Information and Corruption

Acton's idea that absolute power corrupts absolutely need be unpacked, sorted out and understood well; far too many leaders are ignorant. Acton wrote in England- a society that had fought against absolutist monarchy since Magna Carta in 1215. It is likely that his comment was in reference to imperial power such as King John had.

Hindenburg bragged that he had only read one book in his entire life. Information exists in-the-world. It is how one processes information that will determine if a politician is competent, corrupt, inept or stupid. It is an amusing paradigm to note that the coefficient of information with corruption would be ignorance and stupidity with honesty.

 It is wrong to assume that a hierarchy exists politically such that the leader receives more information than someone at University A or B, or doing research on the Internet. It is the political power to act upon misunderstood or inadequate information for the wrong reasons that serves to accelerate political corruption. Maladroit education and training creates wicked political processing of data later. Some politicians are hell bent to accomplish a particular agenda a priori and are dismissive of information as externalities to their program. 

An individual may have copious information and be quite powerless.

The Expensive, Unnecessary Ukraine War of Biden-McConnel Axis of Hawkery

 Though the tide has turned on the Democrat effort to build up war in Ukraine with U.S. finance the old pair of hawks continue to search and destroy prospects for peace. Peace is a far better investment than war.

Taking an on-line course on Magna Carta one learns why King John signed the document to start with; he had invested in foreign wars that went badly and levered his own nation to pay for mercenaries and other military personnel. The people were tired of political losers costing them at home and abroad.

For nearly a century after Magna Carta modifications and reforms were needed to reign in the power of the King. President Biden like King John is perpetrating foreign wars that are harmful to national interests- peace should have been sought with Russia and Ukraine shared between Russia and the Western financed government. Good business should have flowed across Eurasia and the ecosphere repaired with Russia in the midst of it all.

Just since January 2022 the Congress has passed four bills giving Ukraine 113 billion dollars of assistance. estimates of the cost of rebuilding Ukraine range to half a trillion dollars and the Biden administration will be quickly to lever the public for the funds. Cost of removing rubble is estimated to be 4 billion dollars. I know a few U.S. cities that could use some of the money spent for that unnecessary foreign war.

 The Biden-McConnell axis may have given the jitters for the prospect of the end of the world even to Mark Zuckerberg who has built a 100 million dollars survival compound with a secret bunker deep below his thousands of acres Hawaiian estate.

Stereotypes of Earth Men and Women

 The Ugly American- brash, over-paid, badly educated on environment with hubris. A stereotype with elements of validity. Russians- tough, long suffering smart scientists and vodka drinking working class. Chinese-billions of people used to imperial or dictatorial rule, lots of ability yet in mass rather poor- a glimpse of the future of humanity on Earth. People living south of the U.S.A.- seeking to move north and convert the U.S.A. into the Republic of Hispania. Africa- mostly never slaves with a different point of view of world affairs than black Americans. Many seek to move north to Europe. Muslims- seek to conquer the rest of the world as a duty given by Muhammad the Proplit.

The Smartest Man and Twenty Questions

An anonymous philosopher was told by someone that the oracle at Delphi said that he was the smartest one on Earth, so he went and asked for himself and the oracle said "Yes, you are the smartest man on Earth". Thereafter he started a career asking people twenty simple questions like 'Can you write an algorithm to create a Universe and make it expand in an orderly, logical way to maturity until it burns up or is cold and dead'. No one was able to answer the questions correctly until he reached Donald Trump and Joe Biden- each with an IQ of 168. There is a punch line but one needs an IQ of 268 to understand it so I won't burden readers with that here.

Nonce-sense (a poem)

 

Phatend up universes
expand from morrows
bigger with life
depletin so much sorrows

A point a pint pitchin quick gillies
placin new shots with barbed tonguing grillins
shocked monkey'd Ukrainian landers
wicked war chordites confoundin lost peace plans

Too wild sprung all-go-rythms
carry up more nonce sense
directly illustrating singularity talk
unto crenelated ears.

If it Spins it was Spun (poem)

 

If it spins
it was spun
for every hard thing had begun
hard links
soft links
more was to the better
God was good
Good is God

God is good
Good was God
isosceles tri-angles became silky seashells
broken down and weathered
pretenses of past tensors
even while waves signed
inventions abode
with conjecture and levers.

A Note on Writing Computer Code to Make a Universe Expand from Singularity

 This is just a note for making the point that it might be possible to write computer code to make a Universe expand from a singularity with much detail of various processes. Probably its already been done countless times in physics science labs. I am not aware of a popular video game with adjustable, variable parameters for modifying one's designed Universe though. 

I believe that a spherical gravitational collapse of a scaler field, arriving at t=0 is a paradigm comparable to quanta of the cosmic microwave background running in reverse to an inflation and singularity if one posits a phase change and radical deceleration at the inflation. Physicists have a lot of data and probably model algorithms for the expansion consistent with observable properties of the universe. Perhaps there are numerous algorithms exploiting observable quanta and fields that would reach t=0. Recent papers suggest the Universe is one-off rather than cyclic.
