Holding a Mirror Up To Ourselves

According to Chris Matthews and his guests, there are republican thinkers who see the madness of all of these "birther" charges against Obama that one third of the Republican party membership still believes in.  They excerpted segments of Governor Jendell's speech last week saying "The Republicans should stop being the party of Stupid" and Haley Barber said that picking on Hillary was counter productive, and other areas of attack that the Republicans should abandon out of prudence.  It would seem that Haley Barber is against this idea of tampering with the electoral college system in at least four states, which they are planning on doing.  But in Virginia their own governor is against passage of a new law that would abolish population as the criteria for selecting state Electors.  On the other hand I believe in Kentucky they not only passed a bill to "abolish all gun regulation laws' but also to forbid local governments from passing ANY restrictions on the use or carrying of Firearms.  So that no local city can pass anordenance to forbid the carrying of guns into a bar or other public place.  The thing is that the Media has turned against the Republicans, in a way they never did during the Romney campaign last fall but only continued to prop him up.  On the Mc Laughlin group they were divided three to two on whether President Obama had avocated the shredding of the US Constitution in Monday's Inaugural address.  Pat Buchannon and that conservative lady brunette was claiming that Obama only wants to "put up" with the Constitution but would really ignore it.  And Pat had the enlightening "fact" for us that nowhere in the Constitution are equal rights for all mentioned.  Obviously Pat hasn't read the fourteenth amendment lately.  A lot of Republicans would like to expunge this hundred and fifty year old amendment, for a whole host of reasons I don't have the inclination to go into right now.

There has been continued talk of basic biological differences, structurally, between brains of conservatives and brains of liberals.  They will say "the areas of authoritative knowledge' are stronger in conservatives, and the area of tollerance and experimentation are more prominent in liberal brains.  I would not place a whole lot of stock in these assertions.  I said in that really long posting in early October of last year that as a realist alias objectivist- - that I believe things ARE what they are, and the sooner we realize that "Not everything in life depends (for its existence) on us to decide what we Think it is" - the better everyone will be.  Other times I have fingered Pastors of church for this "Point of view" smokescreen - type of talk.  And I'll be happy to tell you exactly what's wrong with this frame of rationalizing logic.  If it were indeed "Point of View" then I would easily be able to Walk Over to Where You Are now - - and look at it from your vantage point and to see what you just saw and we'd agree that we were seeing the same thing.  But alas - - as the axiom goes, "People are entitled to their own points of view - but NOT their own facts".  Pastors or tea baggers CANNOT possible defend their outrageous views unless they invent lies to cover up the truth, and then tell other Lies to cover up the fact that they lied before.  If you had to boil down their whole world view it would be something like "Maybe the world is going to end.  Personally I don't care.  But when and if it does I and my comrads want to be the ones with all the Power in keeping with their own version of the Golden Rule of "He who has the Gold makes the Rules".  They commit the classic sin of the Bible.  They TRUST in money and wealth and power.  They TRUST it the same way a liberal TRUSTS intelligence and clear, logical thinking.  Think about that one.  They don't believe in any system of pure Morality.  Morality is something they USE for their own agrandizement, or in other words - something to be Imposed on others to "Keep them in line" as it were.  Their whole Lives are seemingly dedicated NOT to actually bettering themselves or their human spirits - but rather of "Keeping all the other inferiors IN LINE".  Think about it, won't you?

Steve Jobs' ego survives even beyond the grave.  They have made what I call a "Walt Disney" calabre movie glorifying the life of Steve Jobs.  To do this they have to make Steve Wazniac, the partner with all the real brains and know-how - - appear somehow "out of it' and dressed in a shirt and tie, and discouraging the idea of ever selling a computer to the public.  Of course Steve Jobs really just wanted to find a way to make money.  In the early days according to Wazniac he was not even all that into this "Walt Disney" conception of finding out what the public needs and wants and 'making them happy".  Wazniac invented GUI or graphic user interface.  According to a friend here it was Atari who first adopted GUI and the Mouse into their Computers.  Of course many opporating systems can be divided into general categories.  There is the DOS like family of systems such as PC/M and OS 2 and DOS.  On the other side of the fence you have what the internet primarily uses which is UNIX and LINEX and HTML and all of that.  Another type of graphic system has evolved out of DOS - - vaguely and that is the Window-ization of all the common computer programs such as BASIC and C.  If you have studied Action Script videos, this is a program put out by Adobe, you know that Action Script uses many of the same idioms and conventions as Windows based user programming.  This is just a little background.

I have said before, holding the mirror up to myself, that I often float theories and then seem to discard them.  Of course I would like to be one hundred percent every word I have written down in these blogs, if for no other reason than I might be asked to defend them by one of you readers.  For instance I was attracted to the "Portal" theory of psychic phenominon in the very early days of my blogger history.  Perhaps some of this was based on various Movies I had seen.  Some of it was based on the transportation system of the 'Iconians" in the Star Trek series.  And then there is the "worm hole' phenominon where you have these strange "connections" between two points that often come and go at will and are like a valcano either stable or unstable, at least for the time being.  I have been back and forth in the existance of Black Holes.  As it stands now I have, for the time being Returned to the notion of "The Event Horizon", which is a concept I didn't want to touch with a ten foot pole two or three years ago, but now appears to make perfect sense to me.  The idea of the Karmic Funnel dates back in excess of thirty years, and I have defended it right along.  But some things I may get more "Into" in the year 2013 such as this idea of "Concave Space", where normal space in Convex Space.  I have put forth the idea of an "enforced zero" that isn't really Zero since space as we know it is not Empty, so logically "How can zero really be Zero".  But like Ferenheit thermometers, you can well go below zero with no problem.  Though the temperature reading has a minus in front of it, we know it's really still positive.  We speak of the "Negative refraction index" of objects made out of this kind of Matter.  But this isn't really classic "Negative matter' as scientists traditionally theorize it.  It's just "Less positive than the Enforced Zero we are all forced to live and breathe.  Capish?  So logically if something with no refraction of light whatsoever can be said to have - - no mass - - so to speak, then something with LESS mass than shall we say "Zero degrees ferenheit" could be said to have a lower mass, and as such the physical laws on light refraction would be preserved because the less dense material (less dense than Empty Space, I'll remind you!" would indeed cause light to refract more perpendicularly to the angular surface, once it per chance "Rose in temperature to Zero ferenheit" if it started off "Below Zero ferenheit" if you can follow this thermal analogy.  The concept of concaveness conotes and indeed implies the notion of exterior bounds enclosing some sort of vector negative space.  Because we are used to a spherical event horizon, so to speak.  But the "event horizon" on concave space would be almost too strange to describe.
