Presidential Politics - II

It is clearly possible that the President is using the FBI investigation of Secretary Clinton to keep her vocal views in check.   If this is correct, she really cannot make any substantial critique of Obama policy while the investigation is pending.   She has commented or responded, clearly limiting her comments about or against the President on all international issues, particularly those of ISIS.  She is very careful.  She will not claim or support the nature of Islamic terrorists, preferring a stance that "We do not war against the Muslims."  This is a stretch in the minds of many Americans.  She will not comment on alliances with the Russians, preferring the softer language of "separate but equal in a common cause."   She will not comment on arming the Kurds or supplying the Jordanians or Syrian moderates, preferring to indicate there is not even an issue of discussion.  The world is now a difficult place for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

I think... The President will prolong this conflict, to indict or not to indict, to the max - at his pleasure. The local and social issues are not a problem.  They both agree on the most points.

A hostage she is to this matter  She may be also a hostage to discovered (hacked) emails and influence peddling though the Clinton Foundation.   (Does anyone still actually believe her email server was not hacked?)  What a mess this is for an incoming President!

BTW, Governor Bobby Jindal is out.  This should save him a few bucks.  But, he must decide well on who to support if he sees a future in his party.   With so many contenders, and particularly with several devoid of real experience, this is a problem to mull over.  Difficult.  I have no suggestions on this one.

UNCERTAINTY IS CERTAIN

  Uncertainty is Certain G. Donald Allen 12/12/2024 1.       Introduction . This short essay is about uncertainty in people from both secular and nonsecular viewpoints. One point that will emerge is that randomly based uncertainty can be a driver for religious structure. Many groups facing uncertainty about their future are deeply religious or rely on faith as a source of comfort, resilience, and guidance. The intersection of uncertainty and religiosity often stems from the human need to find meaning, hope, and stability in the face of unpredictable or challenging circumstances. We first take up the connections of uncertainty to religion for the first real profession, farming, noting that hunting has many similar uncertainties. Below are groups that commonly lean on religious beliefs amidst uncertainty.   This short essay is a follow-up to a previous piece on certainty (https://used-ideas.blogspot.com/2024/12/certainty-is-also-emotion.html).

Problem Solving? Then Find Those Gaps

  Problem Solving - Finding Gaps 12/28/2024 Introduction. Solving complex problems often arises from the presence of gaps in knowledge, resources, understanding, or perspectives. These gaps introduce uncertainty, ambiguity, or constraints, making solutions difficult to achieve. Below, we explore the primary types of gaps that complicate problem-solving and their implications. Many are of the technical, informational, theoretical, and social nature. You may discover some of these gaps are also sources of uncertainty in problem-solving, in that they supply us with another list of things that can go wrong based on something missing. Gaps also form a type of impossible problem, that will be discussed in a later chapter. Finally, this essay is about all problems and solutions, not just those of science. Contents Comprehension Gaps Consistency Gaps Solution-Type Gaps Invisible Gaps   Knowledge and Evidence Gaps   Methodological and Technological Gaps Ethical and Cult...

CERTAINTY IS ALSO AN EMOTION

  Certainty is also a Feeling Certainty is often viewed as a mental state tied to knowledge and confidence, but it also functions as a feeling with distinct emotional and physiological components. While it arises from cognitive processes, certainty also has a subjective and emotional quality that makes it more than just a rational judgment. It provides a sense of assurance and security that shapes human experience in profound ways. Emotional Dimension . At its core, certainty evokes emotions that influence how we perceive and interact with the world. When someone feels certain, they often experience relief, comfort, or empowerment. These emotions are particularly strong when uncertainty or doubt is resolved, offering a sense of closure. For example, solving a complex problem or having a belief validated by evidence brings not just intellectual satisfaction but also emotional reassurance. Subjectivity. Certainty is inherently personal and subjective. It depends on individual...
