Random Thoughts - 30


On Marijuana.
In Colorado, you can get a rocky mountain high.
Sales for pot just hit a new high.
Pot dealers give lessons on pot usage at their in-store “high” schools.
The demand for legalized pot is at a record high.
“High-er” education is now available in legalized-pot states.
After a pot high trip, some come down-town.
Is Colorado still the high-est state?
Nowadays, the pot calls the kettle irrelevant.
It is rumored soon drivers can will be able to shift to a new gear called high-drive.
Did you hear about the kid who got high by weeding the backyard? 
Some pot users want killing weed classified as a felony?

AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) has created her very own class identity, the Inspired Idiots.  They’re noisy, but insensitive to facts, ready to believe the impossible, and enthusiastic contributors.

Did you know snarkiness has its own signature?  After a while the apparent cleverness and contempt  of the satire becomes predictable and no longer even humorous – just dull-gray  cheap shots.

With seven trillion dollars in home mortgages nationwide, we note this is not even a third of the national debt of $22 trillion.

Women don’t look good in tweed. Mostly, it makes them look fat.

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?
