Thoughts XXIII - Random



1. If the ad even mentions the word "affordable," to me it means I can't afford it or its not worth it.  Affordable has become a buzz-word for costly, for inept, or for deception.

2. Many auto ads are now signifying they feature an EBS, emergency braking system.  These show a driver being completely distracted from driving and then just at the point of a crash, the EBS takes over and saves the day. It will not affect you and I.  It will, however, affect the ever-stupid teenagers believing they are even more bullet-proof than already do.  The EBS will certainly cause deaths and then lawsuits. Many will die. This is a problem for the near future, with actual crash victims charging the manufacturer with faulty equipment or inaccurate expectations.  

3. On Hillary's health issues - in the spotlight.  Is the Dem inner circle ready to throw Hillary under the bus in the interest of the progressive agenda?  Possibly. But how can they do it?  Curious question. But the better question is this: Does Hillary know it?  She may well win.  We all want to know she is at 100% in health.  On the darker side, I've heard that Bill has already alerted his trusted legalistas on how to prevent.  If she slips or falls again we may see the Dems taking each other to court.

4. The Donald seems to be keeping a close check on his proclivities. When will he fall of the wagon and fire off some nasty tweets?

5. It looks  like our President has found something he likes to do as much as playing golf and making rules.  Campaigning!  But this time for Hillary Clinton!  One purpose only: saving his legacy.  From what I've heard there is no kind and gentle friendship between them.  But while the President is good, her other surrogate seems to have lost his edge.

6. Faking hacking.  Interesting idea. How do you neutralize the hacking and email problems?  Answer.  You fake hacks with fake emails that damage or help whomever you want.  Alternatively, you edit actually hacked documents.  We just can't verify. The long-term result will result in the public ignoring all hacked documents.  Nifty solution to an insoluble problem.  Look on the news channels this suggestion.  Listen, if I can think of this, so can anyone.

7. Hate is a powerful emotion... So, when are Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, and Ted Cruz going to support their party's nominee?  Two promised to support whomever.  If Trump pulls of the impossible, it will be grim for these guys.  On the basis of scorn, Carly will never. :)

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...
