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.

Accepting Fake Information

Every day, we are all bombarded with information, especially on news channels.  One group claims it's false; another calls it the truth. How can we know when to accept it or alternatively how can we know it's false? There are several factors which influence acceptance of fake or false information. Here are the big four.  Some just don’t have the knowledge to discern fact/truth from fiction/fact/false*. Some fake information is cleverly disguised and simply appears to be correct. Some fake information is accepted because the person wants to believe it. Some fake information is accepted because there is no other information to the contrary. However, the acceptance of  information  of any kind become a kind of  truth , and this is a well studied topic. In the link below is an essay on “The Truth About Truth.” This shows simply that what is your point of view, different types of information are generally accepted, fake or not.   https://www.linkedin.com/posts/g-donald-allen-420b03

Your Brain Within Your Brain

  Your Bicameral Brain by Don Allen Have you ever gone to another room to get something, but when you got there you forgot what you were after? Have you ever experienced a flash of insight, but when you went to look it up online, you couldn’t even remember the keyword? You think you forgot it completely. How can it happen so fast? You worry your memory is failing. Are you merely absent-minded? You try to be amused. But maybe you didn’t forget.   Just maybe that flash of insight, clear and present for an instant, was never given in the verbal form, but another type of intelligence you possess, that you use, and that communicates only to you. We are trained to live in a verbal world, where words matter most. Aside from emotions, we are unable to conjure up other, nonverbal, forms of intelligence we primitively, pre-verbally, possess but don’t know how to use. Alas, we live in a world of words, stewing in the alphabet, sleeping under pages of paragraphs, almost ignoring one of

Is Artificial Intelligence Conscious?

  Is Artificial Intelligence Conscious? I truly like the study of consciousness, though it is safe to say no one really knows what it is. Some philosophers has avoided the problem by claiming consciousness simply doesn’t exist. It's the ultimate escape clause. However, the "therefore, it does not exist" argument also applies to "truth", "God", and even "reality" all quite beyond a consensus description for at least three millennia. For each issue or problem defying description or understanding, simply escape the problem by claiming it doesn’t exist. Problem solved or problem avoided? Alternately, as Daniel Dennett explains consciousness as an account of the various calculations occurring in the brain at close to the same time. However, he goes on to say that consciousness is so insignificant, especially compared to our exalted notions of it, that it might as well not exist [1] . Oh, well. Getting back to consciousness, most of us have view
