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.

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...

The Calculus of Ideas and Patterns

  Introduction. When dealing with ideas, patterns, intuition, and brainstorming, we need operations or rules not unlike those of arithmetic. The goal is not proof, a finished device, or a fait accompli , but rather a foundation for further investigation and study. In some cases, these operations may yield a proposition, that is, something capable of being proved. In this sense, they form a practical logic of intuition. The article concludes with a few select examples from a variety of venues. Setting. We are working with a given idea, problem, or project, or simply just thinking. Our aim is to discover pathways, patterns, or conceptual connections that may be useful. The following operations describe ways in which ideas and patterns can be generated, transformed, or refined. These also work toward understanding the imagination. Yet, this framework is distinguished from formal logic and proof. We are tempted to call them as “soft logic” because while nothing is proved, reasons...

Freedom of Speech

  Think of freedom of speech as a living organism. Then think of what is required for it to survive. Coming to mind are a population agreeable to its constitution (its environment) and the institutions (its nutrients) that keep it healthy. Currently, many institutions, including some political parties, question unfettered freedom of speech and are working to deny it, claiming it is unhealthy for the body politic. Yes? No?
