Letters from the Future – II


Letters from the future.   Many of us wonder what can be achieved with big data, which combines multiple data bases and machine learning.  This is the second of a series of letters maybe not sent yet but soon will flood the world.  We are suggesting what can be done right now, like today.  This particular letter is sent to Democratic voters; a similar letter targeting Republican voters is just as easy.  The footnotes are for you, the reader, not the letter recipient.

NOTE.  Many databases need to be resourced for this letter.  This is what big data does, and it does it today.

Dear Mr Enyone,

We understand you are very busy, and this is the reason you were unable to vote in the previous election (1), even though you are so registered.  It has come to our attention that you are earning about $45,000/year (2), and you must be concerned about the decline of the dollar and availability of universal health care (3). You also grew up in Detroit where most residents vote solidly Democratic (3). We know you watch frequently the CMC news network, where like-minded people congregate (4).  You don’t seem to have contributed to any particular religious group (5) .  You are like us, and you are most welcome.

Therefore we assume you will vote for Andrea Sommerfield for President,  xxx for Congress, yyy for the Senate.  To help you vote in this important election cycle, we attach a fully completed absentee ballot.  You need only sign and mail ii in. Your cost is only the price of a stamp.

Thanks for being a great citizen who cares deeply about his country’s future.  The time is now. Don’t delay.  Send your ballot now!

Thanks,

James Patoodle (6)
Citizen’s Institute for American Values
P.S. Please send a contribution so we may continue this important mission. 

(1)   Voter records are online.
(2)   Estimated from buying practices online and from credit card receipts.  Note, most credit card companies say they will never share their information except to so-called “partners.”  A simple arrangement as such is easy to make.
(3)   Easy to obtain from medical records, Facebook, high school graduation location, or other many other sources.
(4)   Available from cable companies
(5)   Tax return information – hacked. Or extrapolated from financial resources.
(6)   Signatory matches gender and ethnicity of recipient.

While this letter is simply encouragement for a possible supporter to vote, a more nefarious version would be to simply send in the absentee ballot on behalf of chronically non-voters (also a dababase conclusion).  Such non-voters would never know; such illicit voting would never be detected.  This form of voter fraud is virtually undetectable.

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...
