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.

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...
