Science

Science is not a failed idea but merely an interim one. It will never answer the fundamental questions of who we are, what we are, where we are, and especially why.   God's reality becomes more apparent with each scientific discovery, and the probability of science disavowing God becomes increasingly less likely. 

If we “are because we are” and can thus presume that our existence is purposeful and not merely a pastime of immortal intellect, then we are justified in believing that we are a creation of a God. We have a purpose to fulfill and only revealed religion has the answers. We are here to serve and be served by one another, and through this material existence and esoteric experience, we are “being” prepared to exist eternally in a so-called spiritual realm.  The questions are: why?  And how did an intellect come into a non-material existence and have the knowledge and power to create “our” material universe? Where did the knowledge and intent come from to manipulate the non-material realm, causing it to vibrate uniquely, facilitating a material existence, enabling a material bubble within which our mortal existence is contained, and providing us and our animal cohorts time, space, and purpose? 

Unfortunately, our material universe can only continue to exist if it expands because that is impetuous of gravity and the antidote to physical entropy.   Thus, the challenge of creationism and the inevitability of time and the likelihood of it coming to an end is prophesied. 

 

After seeing this picture my thoughts went to the notion of it being evidence of eternal progression and the LDS doctrine of us becoming Gods.  What do we do?  Create other worlds. Not in a helter-skelter fashion but in an orderly process and as I assume limited by our knowledge and relationships.  Like temporal life, we each have our abilities and inabilities.  So some of us are more capable of creating than others. Most of us are merely Stander-by or me-toos so the network nature of the universe and its brighter spots reflect that circumstance.  As we learn and grow in knowledge and power the universe expands with each new temporal creation.

It appears as though the universe has been under construction for a very long time.  Is there an end? Do we as Gods eventually retire and turn over the reigns to our children and is there an old gods home?  Entropy insures the never ending need to create.  Forever onward.

Free Speech

The notion that speech is free is noble but proven wrong daily. Social media capitalizes on the different forms of speech and has been since the traveling minstrels of the dark ages. Censorship and defamation of character trials have been part of the cost of speaking freely.

In today’s highly charged social interactions, activism’s agendas, and cultural change is the evidence that the bigot gene is out and Pandora’s box is open. They won’t be put back in no matter how many biased editors are hired, prejudiced algorithms coded, or bigoted shadow bans imposToday I can give a thumbs up or down, love or not. Ads are analytically tailored. The same thing will be true in the future for political, bigoted, and biased speech. The challenge will be to develop an interface which promotes and facilitates communication and a willingness to allow, even seek, dialogue.

An interesting development is the advent of AI in the moderation of information calls. I’m no longer sure whether it is a real person when I connect to any chat feature. This is only going to become more robust over time. Whether it’s customer service, educational classes, or physiological evaluations AI facilitated sessions will be the become the norm.

The issue is algorithmic mischief. Will the programmers be innocuous or obnoxious? The intriguing future is AI enabled education with human augmented performance at every intellectual level. The world is not fair, equitable, or understanding. Humanity is not common, equal, or sympathetic. Technology will enable understanding, prioritizing, and facilitating such that every individual will succeed at their level of competence. Hopefully, humanity will supply the empathy, sympathy, and creativity.

Speech will no longer need to be protected and the made up rules enforced by imperfect humans because our AI bubbles or proprietary zones will intervene, not by shielding us but preparing us to hears, evaluate, and respond to any idea and not necessarily in identical fashion or conflict prone gatherings. The old world problem of managing speech will be replaced by the ancient world paradigm of human motivation. Because learning is no longer constrained by human foibles but by programmed patience and calculated probabilities plus individualistic pedagogy and psychologically appropriate methods of learning and developing.

We become individuals capable of negotiating a crowded world of biased, prejudiced, and bigoted people finding those of like mind and dealing with peacefully or judiciously not engaging with those who are contrary.

Why?

Our culture is changing for the worse. Our economy is failing. Our society is at odds about everything. The world's other countries are equally dysfunctional. Leadership has given way to cronyism and bullying. Idealism has been replaced by ideology, rancor, and prejudice.

It may not be so disconcerting if the consequences for falling from grace was simply a loss of status or privileged but it goes way beyond that today.  There seems to be an attitude of retribution and prosecution. It is no longer an issue of equality or even equity. The so called sins of the past are to be visited upon the heads of the vanquished. Every idea or circumstance that was a constituent of the social order is considered abhorrent to the present and must be overturned or eradicated which includes the individuals associated with them.

Is there a purpose to our existence?  Does the concept of charity and service really carry the promise of peace and security?  Even if we evolved emotionally and ascended morally to a point of completeness, why?  Will we transcend mortality and materialistic existence? 

Our ?

Understanding the motives of socialists, in the face of socialism’s disastrous history, current disastrous examples, and plentiful illustrations of financial ruin preceded by a disfunctional social fabric, is beyond me.  Any rational thinking being should realize by now that the promise of a socialized society is really empty because humans are not capable of denying their nature, overcoming inequity and persisting in a changing world.

Realizing the inevitability of utopian thinking by most people only explains the ideal. Recognizing the persistent notion of pragmatism practiced by the majority illustrates the conflict which propels society but also seems to hinder the progress because everyone is not in agreement with every particular aspect of a civilized world. Everyone is not willing to make dissimilar sacrifices and accept inequitable outcomes for the betterment of a civilized world.

Acknowledging the reality of humanity’s trend of improving its status, throughout history, in spite of its nature doesn’t seem to be possible. Are we then condemned to bumble our way through the life and times of humanity never actually achieving our potential to exceed our ignorance and inabilities until we simply cease to exist?

Capitalism has its shortcomings. What “ism” awaits humanity?  Is there anything beyond materialism? Is spirituality a possibility? Especially one not defined in material terms where a corporeal God is seated on a throne surrounded by sing angles? Is it even possible to imagine spiritually? Is the physical universe the embodiment of existence and does that mean our intellect can only take form materially? Does our eternity await us as imperfect entities engaged in a never-ending pursuit of intellectual perfection?  Do we eventually, achieve self-actualization only to grow bored of existing?

The U.S. Senate

 I awoke thinking about how the original selection of U.S. Senators was by state legislature appointment, not popular vote.  Given the deceit of self-appointed candidates and the ignorance of the electors, the Senate has become a morass of egotistical, greedy, and dishonest people not really interested or remotely capable of governing themselves let alone a nation of self-interested and increasingly lazy constituents.

As a result, we find ourselves massively in debt and divided ideologically beyond repair.  The demise of the United States of America is only a matter of time and how quickly its financial and cultural collapse takes place.  The question is what will rise from its ashes and will the vultures circling leave any trace of it?

Why Gravity is NOT a Force

This supports my “Inertia” post and adds information to my notion that Gravity doesn’t actually exist.  There are two issues. First time space is not two dimensional but four. Which means the depiction of a warped sheet is incomplete. Second, what motivates matter?  Is the universe falling into a well of gravity or is God dipping a finger into the mix and spinning space in multiple directions kind of like an underwater speaker vibrates the pool?

Why The Speed Of Light Is Unmeasurable

This idea of light being instantaneous for the observer while the observee realizes the one way trip taking however much actual time it takes to go the distance at the scientifically agreed upon speed of light.  This is academic because we cannot be in two places at once as illustrated in the embedded video assuming it can be seen.

My perspective is religious. If light is instantaneous for us wherever we are then God can be what we imagine God to be because the passage of time is only relative to us and not an aggregate measure.  We perceive light coming to us over time and assume it takes and equal amount of time to return, which the video illustrates can’t be proven, so the idea of instant allows, from a scientific perspective, for God to exist and to inspire us on our journeys of discovery.

Regret Versus uncertainty

While reviewing my motives for achieving personal success a thought came to me that makes me wonder how much truth there might be in it?

The bad person, at the completion of his life will regret the bad which he has done. While the good person, at the completion of his life, will regret all of the good he could have done.

Conversely, the bad person may regret all of the good he missed out on while the good person will not regret the bad he missed out on.

So is it regret or uncertainty which keeps me from pursuing my future as opposed to living a purposeless life be it good or bad.

Rule of Law

The downfall of our society is being usered in as the rule of law is being violated by ever increasing numbers and classes of people join in. We now have a president who knowingly administers his regime by systematically ignoring the law and the constitution.

We have a presidential canidate who has committed felonies against the congress and is still a candidate with maybe enough ignorant  and selfish citizens to elect her.

In the lawless big cities policemen are being shot with impunity and the criminals are raging at-will destroying property and killing its citizens while journalists justify and incite.

The criminal element has gotten itself elected and staffed the government with cronies who use their power to persecute their enemies.

The amoral and godless are occupying greater numbers of the seats of our congresses and legislatures promlugating regulations and replacing laws which diminish the constitution and enslave the productive for their socialist purposes.

America as it was invisioned was never really implemented and the few ideals that have managed to survive and enable prosperity and a semblance of freedom are succumbing to the evil nature of man and the willingness of women to sacrifice the future.

Retribution

Discrimination, bigotry, prejudice, bias, even hate and discontent is an emotion based on preference and ignorance. Retribution is not based on preference or ignorance it is a conscious and premeditated persecution of a person or group thought to be the source of discrimination, bigotry, prejudice, bias and even hate and discontent.

The problem is that some self interested activists of the discriminated group thinks that they are morally justified seeking retribution from the posterity of the accused discriminating group. All things being equal that might not be the case but because of persistent inequities the discriminated group has an ax to grind and some a willingness to grind it.

Some of the problem is that there are a few who profit from the situation and strive to maximize it as opposed to seeking solutions for it. There are a few who benefit from it and are interested in keeping things as is. The are many who are sympathetic to it and offer no resistance or encourage any redemptive actions. There a few who perceive the problem and vocalize their opinion only to be chastised, rebuffed, or threatened.

Theory vs reality

I am not gifted enough to use math as a tool to model reality but I seem to be gifted with the ability to envision reality and question its intricacies. For example, string theory, the mathematical calculation of natural phenomenon could be, more accurately, the cross section of a frequency bubble in space.  Space being the ubiquitous medium of existence.  It is the smallest aspect of existence within which matter is created and destroyed. Similar to bubbles in water.  Water being the representative of space in this illustration.  Every thing exists within the continuum as elements composed of frequencies adjoined and synergistic to each other.  Constituted of space the smallest element of existence becomes the subatomic building blocks or bubbles which become atoms arranged in their various matrices representative of the constituents of this existence. Which we some how perceive as composing our reality and everything in it.

Similar to a bubble within water, only space occupies both sides of the frequency horizon which is the apparent perimeter or surface of the observable bubble.  Like the surface of a lake there is a point where it is both air and water.  With each bubble there is a transparency which is both space and time which represents matter in this existence.  Our existence is determine by our frequency range. The spectrum of everything we can observe and manipulate. A bubble appears instanteously upon sufficient energy input.  Not knowing exactly what energy is but it some how animates space. Space is not a discrete particle because that would mean something other than space would have to surround it which must be something other than nothing.

Instead of multiple dimensions we exist within infinitely variable spatial frequencies.  We surround and are surrounded by other spectrums of existence determined by our frequency attentiveness.  That would enable practically instantaneous space travel.  We occupy a different spectrum upon achieving that degree of vibration which could mean occupying the very big or the very small.  The question is, can we travel within the apparent infinite reality of each existence. Light has a limit in this existence, assuming we know what light is. It seems demonstrable in that we can measure its affect on our surroundings and  it appears to enter our existence at various points of  our observable universe and travel throughout it. However our existence appears to be too vast for us to easily traverse the distances between bubbles of matter spread throughout.

Water and air are akin to space. To the naked eye we can not see the individual constituents we only see and free the affects. Space, however at the subatomic level is not composed of atoms but is a constituent in and of itself.  There can be no smaller constituent everything is composed of space and is differentiated only by vibration such as a bubble in a boiling pot of water.

Each and every particle of the universe is simply the vibration of space which gives rise to everything else. Therefore it was not a big bang but the first vibration or symphony.

The most interesting question is how did space begin to vibrate when it was presumably in equilibrium with no physical attributes to react to a universal sound (does a falling tree make a sound if there is no one there to hear it?) which was not in existence assuming that we are correct that nothing really exists outside of the physical universe we seem to occupy.

How can something which is not something vibrate? For example there is no sound in space that we can hear. It does however conduct electronic signals and light. Is space truly a vacuum or a medium we cannot perceive.  Did prehistoric man realize the significance of air? The space time continuum simply can not be succinct defined be cause no one knows what space is.

God's time

Existence in this life is similar to a computer game program. A world is created by the program code and its characters established by subroutines. Their actions and interactions are dictated by the programs code. A person can go and do as his will dictates but only to the extent that the program will allow.  For example a prehistoric person can hunt and gather but not cook the meat until the right subroutine is discovered by  himself or a contemporary.  Cooking meat over a fire using a frying pan doesn't come until centuries later when enough sub routines are discovered by the cave man's posterity to smelt iron.  It is not outside of a characters programming code to do a 21st century task it is only not being accessed because other routines are not yet available for example having a car to drive. The human genome is  a complete program. Each person is essentially identical accept for the character specific routines that make us who we are, brown eyed, dark complexioned, short, fat, and bald. We cannot become a horse even though the genetic code is present in each of us. The reason we are not a tree is merely a few different genes or programming routines.

Our time and place in this existence is relevant to the programming subroutines available to us. Our abilities to venture outside of our existence, even though it exists, is determined by the protocol. We do not live forever, cannot move faster than the speed of light, cannot read another's mind or be something we are not. Even thought the possibility exists.

Time for us is linear but existence is retained within a given set of parameters. God knows the past from the future because it is merely a scenario programmed into this existence.  We have the prescribed agency to choose for ourselves but only from the available routines.  We cannot choose something that does not exist to our knowledge or in our existence.  Therefore we can access possibilities or subroutines available to us we just are limited by relevance.

Is there any reason to stop trying or consider our every action destined? No because, in this game, to stop means death, there is no reset, and the range of accessible subroutines can enrich our lives and deliver, as yet, unknown possibilities for future generations. The sophistication of the program and language is beyond any man made version and artificial intelligence of today's languages pale in comparison but it is still a program.

Is there a limit to this programmatic existence? Yes. Is there an optimal set of routines that lead a person to self actualization? Yes. What purpose is served? Awareness is realized by our unique spiritual entity through living in this programmatic existence. The electricity which powers the program is formless and purposeless accept in response to the code of the programmatic machine language and binary existence of off and on.  Our existence is similar to that of an electrically generated impulse used to power the computer and activate the routines of the available program.

Do we step upon an ant because we can or because we are meant to? Can we choose to not step on the ant or are we destined not to? Do I become what I am or am I what I become? Is my existence on purpose or does my existence have a purpose?  The answer is that this life is an opportunity for us to discover our potential.  We can choose to step on the ant or not and that choice affects both us and the ant. We can inadvertently step on an ant and that incident affects us and the ant.  The reason those possibility exists is because for us and the ant to realize our potential both possibilities have to exist.

Is the world changed for the better or the worse? It is immaterial because either possibility existed before so the program is unchanged but not fully realized.

What is in store for the ant? Does its subroutine cease to exist or can it be reincarnated?  The third alternative is that death is the gateway to a new existence or programming code which enables the ant to become something more that it was before.  Does it resume being an ant or does its subroutine become integral to a greater existence a more enlightened being or place made more complete? Once the program has run its course and all possibilities are exhausted does it set idle, is it reset, or are there aspects of the program only realized by its conclusion and assimilation into a larger program or new existence. Similar to the Star Trek Borge only not with the propensity for domination and darkness but liberation and enlightenment.

Assuming that the program must be fully realized before it can run its course is there sufficient redundancies to facilitate programmatic realization? It seems so.  Anecdotally, no idea seems to be unique.  There are countless examples of more than one person coming up with a similar idea. For example the wright brothers were p, supposedly, the first to fly but several others close to doing the same thing. As a consequence powered flight is common today.  Realizing that not all possibilities are necessary to advancements or self actualization the program may not need to exhaust the possibilities simply provide the opportunities for awareness and agency to determine faith and obedience.

Do we become united as if a single body or unique structures like the cells of a larger body which can not fully function with the absence of any one part.  Individually one might be lost but collectively the potential is magnified.

Discrimination

Black on white violence is being vindicated on the premise that historically white on black violence was considered necessary during slavery, justified during segregation, and condoned in some regions. It is not only fair but necessary to set the record straight. The issues are, however, mind set and knowledge. People have for centuries, especially if one considers evolution, considered others either as superior, equal, or inferior. Those considered inferior could be enslaved, brutalized, or killed with impunity. Today the difference is that regardless of the skin color the perpetrators are discriminating, brutalizing, and killing people of another color with full knowledge that it is more than a violation of a person's dignity, a person's civil rights, it is knowingly violating the laws of the land.

Violence, outside of a declared war, toward anyone should be unacceptable let alone unlawful.  Redemptive violence in spite of current laws and with full knowledge that it is wrong is even more heinous than violence toward a person in the absence of social mandates and criminal law.  It was not right for a white to persecute a black and it is not right for a black person to persecute a white regardless of the past.  Nothing can remediate the past only mollify the future.  A person's character is what is on trial.  A black harming a white is no better than the opposite.  The attitude of the current political administration I suppose is expected because it is their first venture into superiority but it does not portray them as being any better than their ancestors past persecutors.  Redemptive acts don't solve the problem it only prolongs the conflict.  The question is does it make one feel better? The true answer is no it replaces anger with anger. It does not resolve the problem it generates a new one. In that light I do not look upon the black president with any kind of reverence for him, his office, or the people he has chosen to surround himself with and their discriminatory and vindictive actions. Is there any recourse other than moving forward in conflict.  There could be if the evils of the past are not perpetrated on the future. If the expected remuneration for the past injustices is less financial and vindictive and more reflective and respectful.  A better quality of life for the future and a heightened awareness of how not to lead our lives. Reverse discrimination has proven to be just as bad as the original discrimination.  It is amazing that the politicians are so stupid.  Then again maybe they are simply greedy and realized they could profit from this.

Inertia

How many different direction are we traveling at any one moment? Spinning, orbiting, spiraling, flying, and expanding. Gravity doesn't exist. It is an illusion. Like water in a bucket being spun around it does not fall out even though it momentarily is suspended overhead or perpendicular to the ground. Our tendency to stay at rest is overwhelmed by the spinning motion of the earth. The lack of apparent gravity on the moon is more relative to its limited spin than it is to its smaller size. The tides are not gravitational affects but evidence of space deformation as the moon passes through space pushing it out of the way as a rock pushes through water. The oceans are liquid enough to be affected by the passing of compression waves of space. The sea of air surrounding the earth is similarity affected even facilitated by the earth passing through space compressing the gasses generated by the natural mechanisms of a water covered planet. Weather is both facilitated by the spinning and augmented by it. The fact that balls of different sizes return to rest at the same speed demonstrates that it is inertia not gravity that describes the motion of the universe. We're it gravity a larger ball would have to gain speed simply because there would be more forces acting on the larger sphere. 

There is another post, in this blog, which adds support to my notion.  “Gravity is not a force”

ill-suited

Man seems to be ill-suited to exist in this world. Left to his own devices he destroys, despoils, and defames. He chooses to defer responsibility for his actions. He delegates power to others and declines to participate in his own governance. I am amazed that given these attributes we have succeeded to the degree we have. 

Needy

The problem with giving to the needy is that the more you give the needy the more needy you have to give to. Need is the motivator of first resort. To minimize need in a person's life is to inhibit life in the person. It is opportunity that we should consider funding not need. 

Mirrors

Would someone please take the mirrors away from the democrats.  They hold it up to themselves and proceed to tell us what they see, liar, bigot, homophobe, etcetra and then they look up and add republicans to their statements. The brain dead media dutifully regurgitates the drivel and  posts their editorial comments so that the few useful idiots tuned in can get their talking points and all is well in the funny farm.  Big government thinks it is communicating to the masses and has consensus with each returning echo from the chambers called Washington DC, academia, main stream media, and the open mouths of the world's leadership.

The self-anointed political elite complain about the unwashed and stinky visitors being allowed into the so called people's house as they pilot their tax payer purchased private jets over fly-over country.

The problem with looking into a mirror is that you can only see yourself and that what is behind you. This country's elected so called leaders have been looking into mirrors far to long and all they think they see is a populous that has had its hand out and its attention on the wrong things.  I seriously doubt that this country can be saved from its economically spoiled and arrested development situation.  It is hard to imagine what could be next. Even is there is an economic meltdown there is no place left to start over. We are stuck in the morass and there is no escaping it.  We will adapt to the new circumstances but man's nature will not change and the circumstances will only become more dire.  The only glimmer of hope is technology. However, Is it possible that our inabilities can be overcome by technology and not have it perverted by man's nature as well.

Awards

After a week of never ending  "he said she" said by the less than intelligent mass media their minds can now shift to the awards ceremonies where the self-gratualtory tendencies can take on a full bloom.  The competition will be keen.  There was so much made of so little it will be hard to separate the wheat from the chaff an choose the most innate from the most inept.

It is heart wrenching to consider what the innocent victims will have to suffer for the rest of their lives because of the callous actions and wanton destruction of the two deeply psychologically disturbed individuals but the media needs to recognize that it is their grand standing and over the top theatrics which encourages this very thing.

Thousand of people are dieing everyday in this world. Many by accident but too many by the heinous acts of deranged individuals and unfeeling gangs and thugs. They don't need to be given a stage to pander to. Perhaps the most irritating development is the selective amnesia to ignore the stories not to the media's liking and the conscious decision to hyper inflate the stories that are to their liking.  The most disgusting is obvious efforts to follow or concoct a story that may implicate their chosen despised groups.  The most intreguing is when the anticipated story line faulters and the facts don't corroborate their conclusions. The most despicable is the biased and prejudices reports which vilify the medias adopted whipping boy and make excuses for or obfuscates the incriminating evidence of their chosen protagonists.  Aw-well on with the show. News never stops and there will always be another story to take the stupid public's mind off of the mistakes of a report two.

The count down can begin for "The award goes to"
