Bloomberg, Buffet, and Cuban vs. Sandberg

The latest news on the campaign front is that Martin Bloomberg, Warren Buffet, and Mark Cuban have come out in support of Hillary Clinton.   These three billionaires have supported their choice candidate. Great.  Last week, it was Bernie Sanders making the pitch for her support.  The profound difference between the billionaires and the lonely Sanders is profound.  Great. What can they have in common? The three represent wealth and more wealth for themselves.  The lone alternative represents more resources for the little man.   What do they have in common?

The have found resonance, maybe the brass ring of negative campaign attacks.  Resonance implies a low energy force input surviving and growing in magnitude in force.  They have found a small matter that catches on and grows without further energy input.  Cal the candidate a Presbyterian, and no one cares.  There is little effect.  But call the candidate a war monger, and many will take this as the key issue to rally round or its opposite   Resonance is what they all seek.  For Clinton, it may be the disregard of email security.  For Trump it may be an approach to immigration.  For both it is an issue of incompetence,

They have found common ground in their belief that Donald Trump is incompetent to be president. The question is will this sustain?  Is this the seminal issue that will grant Hillary Clinton a win this fall?  Certainly not.  Clinton is just as vulnerable on the same charge, but for different reasons.

Therefore, it will not sustain a lasting attack.  Other attacks are pending, are planned, and are timed for presentation.  They are what? If I were a Trump supporter, I would anticipate, and prepare. On the flip site, Clinton supporters should anticipate what may be coming their way. More than email problems, conflict of interest problems, more, and more.  They are pending, planned, and timed. They are what?

The one supports a continuation of successful programs, the other a new independence for America. Will these positive issues (from respective viewpoints) ever take the center stage?  Hmm.

At the end of the day, it seems...
The supporter of one must at minimum support a disdain for the other. The vote, at this point, seems split between the negatives. Too sorry to say. Too sad to fathom.  Too dreary to contemplate.

Human Simulation is Possible - by Humans

  Human Simulation: Agent-Based Modeling and the Computational Case for Our Reality   1.       Introduction In the essay, we introduce the notion that humanity could be a deliberate simulation based on an extremely simple single-celled organism, hardly anything more complex than that. This will allow an (apparently) new interpretation of the notion that humanity is simulated, but that there is no master engineer at a massive number of dials and switches, responsible for every twist and turn of our universe and lives. We begin with the notion that the universe exists and operates under its own laws. So, given the Earth [2] , when and where life first began, it was infused with a living agent, self-actualized, reproductive, and with other basic rules for its operations, interactions, and much of what single-celled organisms do today. The idea from this occurred some years back when writing code in ActionScript (formerly Flash), I was able to create...

No Sympathy From Me

Suicide Coming Home Many years ago, a friend hung himself in his basement.  I was a pall-bearer at his funeral. I was shocked I was so asked.  I did this.  I did not understand why a good-looking fellow, intelligent, kindly, and true could do such a thing. He did. I do not.  His family suffered greatly.  Yet he left no issue.   Thankfully. To my mind Country singer Mindy McCready, 37, showed us the very height of personal selfishness by committing suicide.  By giving birth to two offspring, she accepted the responsibility to raise her newborn and six-year old son.  She abrogated it spectacularly.  (As did the father a month ago.)  Though she may have suffered depression for any number of reasons, she has little sympathy from me for leaving behind a legacy that is now lost, is now parent-less, and may drift into problems of their own in the future.    There is shame and heartbreak in all this, but blame should be...

Problem Solving - Murder

Abstract  Most certainly, a homicide investigation is a problem-solving event and requires tools and intelligence similar to most scientific research. A homicide investigation is the most rigorous application of the state’s police power. This paper examines the structural framework of these investigations, focusing on the psychological profile of the detective, the procedural utility of the "Murder Manual" and "Murder Book," and the taxonomy of investigative problems. This essay is about solving a murder, though by synthesizing these theories with the 2026 Nancy Guthrie abduction/presumptive homicide case in Arizona, it illustrates the shift from physical evidence to "digital and medical absence" as an essential tool for prosecution in "no-body" cases. Here is a table of contents for this essay. 1.      The Homicide Detective 2.      The Murder Book and Murder Manual 3.      The Complexity of Homicide 4.  ...
