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. :)

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...

No Sympathy From Me

Suicide Coming Home Many years ago, a friend hung himself in his basement.  I was a pall-bearer at his funeral. I was shocked I was so asked.  I did this.  I did not understand why a good-looking fellow, intelligent, kindly, and true could do such a thing. He did. I do not.  His family suffered greatly.  Yet he left no issue.   Thankfully. To my mind Country singer Mindy McCready, 37, showed us the very height of personal selfishness by committing suicide.  By giving birth to two offspring, she accepted the responsibility to raise her newborn and six-year old son.  She abrogated it spectacularly.  (As did the father a month ago.)  Though she may have suffered depression for any number of reasons, she has little sympathy from me for leaving behind a legacy that is now lost, is now parent-less, and may drift into problems of their own in the future.    There is shame and heartbreak in all this, but blame should be...

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...
