Four World Forces



Mimicking modern physics, we assert the world is now dominated by four principle and very powerful forces, all of which are undesirable – to me anyway.  No weak forces as in physics, all are very strong.  They are the Islamic religion (Middle East and SE Asia), capitalist Marxism (Russia and China), progressivism (US and Europe), and capitalist mercantilism (US, Europe, South America).  All have become extreme to an excess; all want allegiance and obedience.  No longer is there room for balance and compromise.  A battle for world dominance is under way.   How does this affect me?  Well, …

I feel I am marinating is a vessel of lies and deceit in the new political world, one of a religion celebrating murder, one seeking natural controls of choice, one dreaming of a utopian world of unequal equities.  I am being dissolved in to a soft malleable substance to be reworked into a predesigned form. My personal identity is being absorbing into a new religion of secularism or total subservience to a book of ancient words, or a feast of promises that have proved nonfunctional. I am compelled to renounce my beliefs in favor of what is supposedly correct, just, or pure.

Kill one religion and another emerges. The old variations learned to exist in a world of fallible creatures, The other seeks a transformation into what can never be.  New religions are the most virulent, rigorous, uncompromising, and vicious. New religions have much to learn, a process that takes centuries.  Marxism, in its newer forms such as neo-Marxism and its capitalist version, allow oligarchies to flourish as the source of all power.  Old-fashioned capitalism has been tested but is now totally untrusted.  Finally, progressivism is a utopian variation of egalitarianism based on the benevolent dictatorship of an elite class.  

Christianity has lost its dominance and is fading as a world force.  Democracy is the last hope, but it is flagging, particularly from the inside toward variations of progressivism.

If I was a young person just stepping on the world stage, and if aware of the new world war, this would be simply depressing.  But it is our kids that will endure the new world order, whichever may win.  I hope they retain their human identity and not become vassals of any of them.  With no winner, war will be perpetual.  With a winner, resistance will be impossible.

Definitions:
Capitalist Marxism  a pretense of a socialist/Marxist state ruled by an oligarchy of exceptionally wealthy and powerful lords of action.
Progressivism – basic law is the human race is incapable of managing their lives and world; it must now be managed by a professional class of persons knowing which are the best paths for all to follow.
Capitalist mercantilism – the domination of a for-profit world, where the optimal goal is profit for which all will ultimately benefit, though perhaps in unequal measures.
Islamic religion – the (possibly distorted) religion of Mohammed commanding unquestioned obedience to Imams that interpret the Koran personally and celebrating the death of nonbelievers.  Its simplistic nature has great appeal to billions.

Behavioral Science and Problem-Solving

I.                                       I.                 Introduction.                Concerning our general behavior, it’s high about time we all had some understanding of how we operate on ourselves, and it is just as important how we are operated on by others. This is the wheelhouse of behavioral sciences. It is a vast subject. It touches our lives constantly. It’s influence is pervasive and can be so subtle we never notice it. Behavioral sciences profoundly affect our ability and success at problem-solving, from the elementary level to highly complex wicked problems. This is discussed in Section IV. We begin with the basics of behavioral sciences, Section II, and then through the lens of multiple categories and examples, Section III. II.     ...

Where is AI (Artificial Intelligence) Going?

  How to view Artificial Intelligence (AI).  Imagine you go to the store to buy a TV, but all they have are 1950s models, black and white, circular screens, picture rolls, and picture imperfect, no remote. You’d say no thanks. Back in the day, they sold wildly. The TV was a must-have for everyone with $250 to spend* (about $3000 today). Compared to where AI is today, this is more or less where TVs were 70 years ago. In only a few decades AI will be advanced beyond comprehension, just like TVs today are from the 50s viewpoint. Just like we could not imagine where the video concept was going back then, we cannot really imagine where AI is going. Buckle up. But it will be spectacular.    *Back then minimum wage was $0.75/hr. Thus, a TV cost more than eight weeks' wages. ------------------------- 

Principles of Insufficiency and Sufficiency

   The principles we use but don't know it.  1.      Introduction . Every field, scientific or otherwise, rests on foundational principles—think buoyancy, behavior, or democracy. Here, we explore a unique subset: principles modified by "insufficiency" and "sufficiency." While you may never have heard of them, you use them often. These terms frame principles that blend theory, practicality, and aspiration, by offering distinct perspectives. Insufficiency often implies inaction unless justified, while sufficiency suggests something exists or must be done. We’ll examine key examples and introduce a new principle with potential significance. As a principle of principles of these is that something or some action is not done enough while others may be done too much. The first six (§2-6) of our principles are in the literature, and you can easily search them online. The others are relatively new, but fit the concepts in the real world. At times, these pri...
