Abandon Geopolitics

 You may say I’m a dreamer… Imagine if the world lived for the best of all possible futures. No hunger. No disease. No war. No limits to growth. The only problems are how can we attain the next level of necessary development to adequately nourish the unique intellectual scientific and artistic desires of humanity as we inhabit the stars and galaxies. Abandon the nightmares of humanity’s infantile egoistic rages and deadly tantrums. For our species has a greater destiny laying ahead ever unfulfilled. 

For in the finite realm that we all must of necessity dwell, it is the unquenchable appetite of the intellect that must finally guide us out of the inferno of geopolitics once and for all.

The Paradox of Lost Information and the Ironic Universe

 If we imagine black holes as sinks of lost informational "stuff", then there is a subtle effect on what we might signify as causality. For instance, we agree that “gravity” as Einstein formulated its effect on the spacetime continuum as four dimensional hypersphere functional has been tested and proven. However, at the level of rotational variance of galactic disk there is a breakdown in gravity’s expected effects. 

Perhaps, the lost information associated with supermassive black holes, could resolve this paradox, if the information were somehow retrievable. If not, then we may approach the issue by construed possibility of necessary causality alone. The answer is not to attempt to conformally map this ambiguity upon our naïve sensorium, but rather to deploy our expanding breakthroughs in advancing technical resources to the increasing benefits of standard of living understood in the broadest sense possible.

“To do the good” as befits Ben Franklin’s historic gift of the lightning rod free from patent restriction. The irony is that if we appropriately inquire of the constructive principles of the physical universe, it will necessarily benefit our species in the here and now and the future.

Such that, a merely formal problem of loss of clarity among disparate mathematical physics formulations is not in reality a crisis at all. We can carry on quite excellently without any resolution of secondary incongruities. This is not to resort to irrationality as some sort of unknowable overarching dictum in systemic approaches to gleaning “facts” qua information for its own sake, per se. Just the opposite. 

As the immensity of the expansiveness of space and humanity's place in it shifts due to the development of our ability to inhabit it and thrive, the infancy of our species may be relegated to the irrelevant past. Just as our lack of concrete explanation of exactly how the physical universe has somehow embedded within itself the motive capability of evolving a nested sequence of apparently immiscible realms of developmental orderings. This prospect of such a future in space if agreed to will potentially lead us out of the self destructive tragic path of self immolation.

Agenda for Future Successful Vectoring of Our True Species Nature

1. Control of electromagnetic spectrum.

2. Control over space by making it practical for humanity to visit the universe without end.

3. Control of time through expansion of healthy lifetimes ad infinitum.

4. Control of potential participation of creation of beauty via all art forms of all members of humanity.

5. Development of program for continuous perfection of all that knowledge for which we discover the need based upon a series of the forgoing achievements. 

Vernadskyan Domains Understood as Riemannian Multiply Connected Surface Functions

 I have been highlighting today’s vast empirical breakthrough areas of scientific research. One of my motivations to do so is to reinforce the exploration of ontological assumptions as they apply to the programmatic direction of science especially via advances in technological capabilities. 

One theme that has from time to time brought to the fore is that contrary to a notion of evolution as a pure existential struggle to become “fit” in a landscape of predator prey dynamics, the symbiotic co-optation of enhanced capabilities by genetic and organelle transfer evinces a sort of higher order at the level of Vernadsky’s “spheres.”

And furthermore, there is evidence of this developmental potential both within the inorganic physical universe, the biosphere and the human creative domain. These domains are topologically connected and temporally interact especially by the creation of singularities mostly resulting from crises necessitated by diminished energetic constraints in prior outmoded manifolds.

So, far from the geometry of Riemann being divorced from the physical, biophysical and human cognitive domains into some sort of mere mental mathematical gymnastics, its basis in fruitfully approaching the great unfolding of universal history will provide a continuing platform due essentially to its method of Socratic questioning of all assumptions regarding these branches of reality. 

It must likewise be noted in this space given the ongoing political crisis that threatens the very future of humanity that this very same geometric method of the overcoming and subsumption of differences via a higher ordering of such manifold human relations is desperately needed at this conjuncture. 

The Simultaneity of Eternity

The ever upward spiral

Grows out heavenward —

Along its axis of radiation,

And alternates between 

Such curved spaces

That vision gives us

From positive accomplishment

To clashing crises at once

The live long drama’s

Singularity inducing.

As perpetual discovery 

Of the Non-other principle’s 

Negative theology.

Anew as development

Beyond the countable infinite —

The thematic ironic fugue

Of the universe in its

Truthful evolution

Toward immortality.

Yes! 

A mission thus

As Socrates radical

Questioning of every

Assumption and folly

At large in the world.

Then and yet unborn

But never quite unknown.

MAD Shenanigans

I remember when I raised money to help finance a TV political ad that put Jimmy Carter's head juxtaposed inside a mushroom cloud... (there is no image online from that LaRouche campaign commercial. I searched...) One of my co-organizers back then went to a Carter rally and approached him with the charge that he was intending to put David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission's Zbigniew Brzezinski in his cabinet. Carter answered, "Never heard of him” and promptly autographed a copy of the newspaper she was holding that had a headline charging the same...

We used to call this the Tavistock grin back in those heady days... (you can actually look that one up successfully) There is a breed of quite insane geopoliticians sometimes dubbed the Utopians who believe in pushing nuclear showdown brinksmanship all the way and winning... They owned Carter and they own Grandpa Joe today, even though I think he said he won't press the button recently when asked... (hard to say because he's not quite with it...) In these desperate times, as we sit chatting on Twitter (making sure not to offend the democracy gods) is it time to ask the question, "Is the mask coming off?"

So, all I can say is we need to keep plugging away with the actual non-utopian agenda of getting off the planet soon, extending the human healthspan indefinitely, developing nuclear fusion plasma torch economy and the other hard things not because they are easy... Boom.

Cheers to you, kind readers.

France's Macron Provides a Glimmer of Hope

French President Macron met with Putin for six hours. Putin then issued a demarche on NATO and Ukraine. Macron then announced that France would be building 14 new nuclear reactors. Biden backed down from putting US troops in Ukraine saying that would mean "world war."

So what gives? There is a fragmentation with realists like Gary Hart (remember him?) promoting what the banner of this site has been proclaiming lo these many years: nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is the only way out for humanity. So the realists say well maybe pollution from hydrocarbons can be conquered without reducing the world's population. 

Now they have not gone so whacky as myself and my crazy co-thinkers with ideas like greening the deserts, colonizing Mars, maglev rail, and biophysical defense treaties.... Yet. (Rolls Royce is planning to build nuclear propulsion systems and modular reactors that can power colonies on the moon and Mars...) All those years that I ate mostly unhealthy airport food yelling my fool head off about the need for nuclear power and the end of geopolitics may not have been for nothing.

Perhaps realists like the Macrons of this world will restore a modicum of sanity out of the nightmare of the age of Kissingerian nuclear terror otherwise known as MAD. I will keep shouting crazy things in my retirement from my easy chair. "Hey you kids, get some brains and start planning to colonize Mars..." Who knows maybe humanity is not yet ready to throw in the towel quite yet.
