Brave New Cloud


Brave New Cloud:  Aside from defense, health, and roads, our Governors are getting into The Cloud (and the privacy monitoring business) in a big way.  This leads me to think about Arthur C. Clarke (Childhood's End), Ray Kurzweil (How to Create a Mind), and Google Earth.  Imagine electrodes put on nearly every square foot of Earth's surface, to monitor every kind of measurable value, and then plug the data into a simulator that is rich in algorithms.  If you trust the NSA, you might not mind being monitored and collectivized in that way.  Then imagine adding chips for monitoring every individual.  For awhile, the computers running simulations on such a model would be earthbound.  However, I wonder whether their functions could also be transmitted to the Cloud?  If so, a cloud-based holodek could replace Earth (and goodness knows what else).  How would choices be made for synchronizing the adventures of the Cloud itself, and for making decisions for the collective of whatever the "life" forms that may continue to "inhabit" such a field-cloud?  Would there devolve an evolutionary competition between good and evil algorithms of Elohim?

There is no solution for the personality-disordered grievance monger. There is a possible, but unlikely solution for the nation: Decent responsible people need to stop bowing to extortionist behavior by incompetent malcontents. The reason this is unlikely is because sociopathic, crony cannibals have made common cause with narcissistic, entitlement-minded creeps. This alliance slaps down decent Americans every time one of their heads pops up. The snake we fight is two headed, so that our politicians bite us each time we turn our backs on one to fight the other. What is needed is a middle class party with a platform from which to fight both at the same time. A middle class strategy of alternating in alignment, first with Dinos and then with Rinos, has only bought delay while America is eaten away. A party that would conserve liberty for America as an exemplar of light should take a principled stand, both against grievance mongers and against crony cannibals. There is no hope in any other strategy.

Blitzkrieg is almost completed. The people who own and operate the ouroborus one snake two heads political party want cheap labor, idiot voters and enough regulations to crush middle class competition, while they erase nations and borders in order to facilitate free trade within the global syndicate of international corporatists. We are in the post-nation, post-republic, pro-crony ologarchic world. We are to be misled, diverted, terrorized, jihaded, and mal-educated. Self-godded oligarchic "supermen" have consolidated central power for their Sindictate to such extent that they laugh in our faces as they steal America. They laugh like Hitler did when FDR asked him not to molest American ships. They have convinced themselves to do a blitzkrieg on the republic, calculating that the time is right and that there is nothing we can do about it. A smiling Hitler with a long middle finger is kissing our faces while stabbing our backs. It's hard to conceive of anything more evil. And it's hard to conceive of any stupidity greater than that of the talking head apologists for the Regime. An axis of those who want to abuse with those who want to be abused is sacrificing human dignity to drug laced immediate gratification. Ugly Nancy is offering Calipornya as home base sanctuary to gather the needed serfs.

I do tend to distrust Catholic bishops about as much as I distrust secular Jews. I have no quarrel with Catholics and Jews, per se. I just wish more of them would think about what is needed to sustain a viable representative republic. a republic cannot be sustained among a citizenry that is unfit for it. Mexican Catholics tend simply not to be housebroken to representative republicanism. IMHO. I agree that we cannot entirely trust polls, because they will be contrived by the regime as the regime deems it needful. (After all, the Nation's debt has remained unchanged for 87 days. Wonder how they did that. Lol

http://freethoughtblogs.com/zi.... It appears that most postgraduates, women, blacks, hispanics, asians, youth, unmarried people, union members, Muslims, irregular church goers, secular Jews, and Latino Catholics voted for Obama. I suspect most welfare recipients, unemployed people, gays, addicts, felons, illegal voters, and Universalists voted for Obama. I suspect atheists may have broken for Obama, but that appears to be more controversial. See http://www.patheos.com/blogs/f....

I agree with you that no decent, thinking person should have voted for Obama. Also, that the ACLU tends to suck. The problem with Catholics is mainly with hispanic Catholics. So why do your Bishops seem to be promoting amnesty? Do they want the republic to go belly up?

The majority of Catholics voted for Obama. And bishops want to amnestify new catholics from Mexico. There's nothing wrong with Catholicism, per se. Nor with the Constitution. What's wrong is the political practice that is promoted by the leadership. This affliction does not just dog the Church. It dogs nearly institution that now has political influence.

It is not "charitable" to gang up to take other people's money in order to help people you want to help. If you want to do charity, use your own money. In main, government should not be in the charity business. When government does it, it is not charity. It tends to be extortion and graft. I don't think anyone (Catholic or not!) should be voting to force other people to pay charity. Government should be for a well run republic, and it should let the churches and charities do the charity work. Government does not do charity work well, and it runs off the organizations that are able to do charity well. The best charity poseurs tend to be the gangsters who pass out free turkeys on Thanksgiving. I don't want to give gov gangsters like Obama the revenue to do that. And the more you strap people to finance gov that does charity poorly, the less people are able to commit to organizations that do charity well. The more you want to do charity by making every derelict a citizen, the more you allow the regime to turn the republic into a despotism. Gov should not be recruited to any church's charity purposes.

Soon, you will be prohibited from discussing any values based in metaphysics, unless someone stumbles into your church. Even then, you will be required first to obtain their informed written consent, which, for children, will be sanctioned only by the state. Problem is, this will excite legal debates about a line, if one exists, between metaphysics and physics and between politics and meta values. Ultimately, you will speak and think only as the state allows, and it will allow only as a mindless computer program permits. Thus, humanity will be made equal to rocks randomly stimulated by a dead environment. Thanks be to Christianityphobes.

In a contest between the collectivizers of lust who are driven by emotion and divorced from reason versus the proponents of individual freedom and dignity, there can be no peace that favors liberty absent a cataclysm, and there can be no peace that favors collectivizers absent the mind suicide of thinkers.

The end of Progressive Elitism comes when everyone who is not of the regime professes to accept everything the regime says, because to express any independent thought to the contrary would be to invite self destruction. Once such a state of affairs is achieved, all except the regime will be serfs, both in body and mind. Their essential selfness will already have been destroyed. And yet, while we still have some freedom, O'Bots voluntarily pray to Obama. I see no way for a culture of individual freesom and dignity to survive this onslaught of sewage, much less thrive in it, absent a catyclysm. Shame be upon the Won. Black Obama Theology (Botism) reviles middle class values, but welcomes redistribution to the lowest common denominator -- the sewer.

The conundrum of the whole being different from the sum of the parts comes to mind, as does the tragedy of the commons. So many institutions of church and state put on a good show of "caring" for particular individuals, while denigrating those who advocate that the best way to take care of individuals is to take care of the republic that accords them their dignity and humanity. Many religious and political Progs know their methods are counterproductive. They know they are farming sloth, addiction, dependence, and entitlement minded thuggery. However, they also know that is how they butter their power base. So their dupes provide the muscle, while they provide the funding and organization. This ought by now to be transparent. By now, middle-class true republicans ought to have awakened. Why haven't they? The answer seems to be because outright evil and faithless sociopaths and goose stepping liars have overpowered all significant institutions of persuasion. Human decency has been swept under a near permanent tsunami of corruption and will have a very difficult challenge swimming back to solid land. The first thing that needs to be done by those who survive the swim is to stop playing patty cake with evil. The masks of the bastards of the religious and political regimes need to be ripped off. Religion and politics are far too important to be entrusted to most bishops and scam-baiters of minorities. Decent Americans must face down the Lying Priests and Mock Politicians who dupe sheeple to believe The Evil Lie that unionized extortion amounts to "charity."

Obama thinks redistributive fairness is more important, even at cost of making the economy worse. However, he seems to have succeeded in making both worse.

In main, military adventures are serving globalist interests that diverge sharply from most interests of ordinary Americans. The idea is that some entity has to take on the job of world cop, or else, given free access to modern technology, only God knows what some lunatic man, cult, or nation may do. Problem is, the entity that takes on the job of world cop consists less of people looking out for America than of corrupt cronies looking for ways to profit by leveraging crises. Good answers are getting hard to come by. Especially since we seem unable to move towards the most obvious parts to an answer: Defend and enforce our borders, infrastructure, and economic self sustainability. The alternative is this: We will be reduced to the lowest common serfs and crazy religion zealots. Crap has broken loose and floated to the top in Washington B.C., and few effective political plumbers are in sight. Meanwhile, college kids and their idiot profs still tend to think FDR was a hero and that real communism hasn't yet been given its chance.

The reason Progs want desperate, ignorant, and unskilled illegal immigrants is the same reason the Catholic Church wants them: they need them to keep an easily duped majority in order to sustain their power base. The last thing Progs and Bishops want is a skilled electorate that has no need for their handouts and indulgences (their thumbs over your body and their hands in your wallet). On immigration, sadly, the Catholic power base shows it is as evil and corrupt as the Prog power base. No wonder Prog media gets breathless as the Church helps spread the message of politically forced redistributive justice! As to the ideal of a republic that incents individual liberty and responsibility, that gets thrown under the Marxist bus. Very sad. Very evil. Very maddening.

If I recall, Obama pretty much told Joe the Plumber that he preferred redistribution for the purpose of social justice, even! if it resulted in a poorer economy. Since we know Obama is a liar, a translation is in order: Obama prefers that the middle class be reduced to the lower class, even if the general economy is made poorer, in order to pull the ladders up and secure the phony class of his Chicago crony ass.

Does Obama prefer free immigration for the purpose of social justice, even if it destroys the republic? No. Obama prefers free immigration for the purpose of social injustice, because it destroys the republic.

The key thing about Progs is that they believe they see the light of science and progress, and therefore anyone who disagrees with them must be a Trog, that is, someone who should have no say, who needs to be ruled in fine (for his own good). To take up the Prog's burden, one must undertake to de-legitimize and imperiously colonize and rule all who are not Progs. So, yes, you are quite correct. Progdom necessarily implicates a NWO hierarchical syndicate of nation-less cronies, i.e., a new peerage. All non-peers are considered mere villains, of little worth or dignity, who tend to pollute the environment and who should be reduced to a lowest common denominator system of health "care." For the greater good of the lowest common denominator, Progs see it as their duty to destroy any moral environment that might incent a renaissance for a striving, independent minded, middle class. The free trade Progs believe in is for the buying and selling of pols in order to ensure special indulgences so that they can more advantageously "compete" with lower level strivers.

I listened to Obama a bit last night. That is something I rarely do, since I prefer to read from substantive sources. However, it did strike me that if the only way I got my news was to listen occassionally to Obama and his sycophantic media, what with obama's drug-calm demeanor and pleasant barritone voice, and if I was as uninformed as the typical sub 30 year old or college student, then I would probably think Obama was a decent man and president.

Consider all the NWO slogans for keeping the minds of kiddies in kiddie mode: Human beings are not illegals; people who were born a special way just want to be tolerated and have equal rights; Benghazi had nothing to do with gun running aimed at empowering the Muslim Brotherhood; the IRS is not an agency of harassment for the regime; only likely bad people are being spied on; guns must be kept out of the hands of potentially mad men (even if they must be given, fast and furious, to bad men to make the point); it takes a village (of the state) to raise a child; Johnnie has two mommies (and Joanie has two daddies); no child's behind should be left along; government should ensure a kinder and gentler hand; the middle class should not stand against fair redistribution administered by those who know best. Given that groundwork, as the kiddies move on into adulthood, harden them with: Ivan's car is giving him a free ride while his carbon footprint destroys your environment; middle class Americans are meanies; property is theft; you have to crack some eggs to make an omelet; God is dead; all religion is evil; let no crisis go to waste; and God dam* America. From there, it becomes easy to pick a cadre for special training in Nazi and Alinsky techniques.

It is only by reading and thinking beyond appearances that are contrived to mislead youths, naifs, and lofos that one begins ever more clearly to discern the outline of a gathering scandal of monstrously grotesque evil. Problem is: How to get the Kiddies eyes off the wall of the cave. After all, these are kiddies who have been motivated to vote, who have been thoroughly indoctrinated, whose attention is constantly rediverted by well crafted circuses, and who have very little intellectual curiosity beyond gratifying their lost in rock and comedy, concert-led feelings.

It's enough to make one question what's so good about a global market, free trade, transfer of resources in order to enrich sociopaths abroad and destroy industries at home, and failure to police international corporate influence in domestic elections. It was inevitable that our policies regarding international corporatism led directly to the porous borders that have now destroyed the Republic. Once international crony corporatism became dominant, it was inevitable that pols would be elected as Judas goats for delivering us up to open borders. So, must we now accede that the country belongs more to an international cronydom than to the progeny of troops who gave their all while trying to defend the repubIc? Meanwhile, the devil and Soros share a beastly laugh.

It wasn't any assimilative melting pot that killed our goose. It was salad bowl, hyphenated, multicultural relativism that was powdered, cocked, and aimed at traditional assimilative values. We gave the sociopaths and narcissists a clear, easy, and astonishingly fast path once we stopped believing in right and wrong. When we stopped believing that some cultures are inferior. It will take generations to wash this crap out of the minds of most kids coming through the sewer pipeline of the multi cultis.

The Republic fell because of a loss of moral nerve. The elite moral philosophers who guide our girlymen cultural relativists are essentially clueless, over promoted post turtles. The country put girlymen in charge of posting the barricades, and now wonders why the middle east is in turmoil.

There has to be a reason why Rinos and Dinos alike are promoting amnesty. What can it be? They both know the effect will be to make a permanent majority of voters who can be easily bribed, lied to, and led around by the nose by statist (crony owned) media. Especially when the lies are blessed by crony owned consensus "scientists" and media elites. They must want an illiterate, ignorant, easily divided and corrupt electorate. Why do they want it? Well, their owners want their elite statusmsolidified, so they no longer need to listen to any reasoned or good faith concerns of the thinking middle class. They want to rule and they mean to secure their rule. Like in Hitchhiker Across the Galaxy, the middle class must be leveled politically, because it is "blocking their view." So they mean to reduce politics to a bread and circus show. While the masses are entertained, the owners can plunder and pillage. Of course, there will be unintended consequences for NWO elitists, but they would rather risk that than share any power with the middle class. Why are they that way? Why are they such pleasant smiling practiced liars? Well, unless good people are vigilant, it's not the cream that floats easiest to the top. It's the people who make skeletons and know where they're closeted. We thought Ryan and McCain were pleasant people who believed in fundamental American values. Turns out, they're just two more crony enablers. Are they scared of being found out? Doesn't seem that way. The bread and circuses are firmly established.

Re: The thought that dare not speak its name. "In California, there is currently a law forbidding mental health professionals from promoting the ex-gay lifestyle to minors.

Since anyone counseling minors to avoid homosexual inclinations would be breaking these state laws, he or she would be a criminal and a derelict professional, subject (I presume) to losing his or her license."

Has the government, hounded by the best experts money can buy, settled the science? Well, Justice Kennedy is convinced, and he's a scientist, right? Lol. How many more social "scientific issues" is our government going to settle, so that no one will be allowed to question such matters in society or in the public square, generally? Once government can settle all issues deemed scientific in this way, what is to preclude government from making speech to the contrary so hateful as to constitute child abuse or a crime against the state? If government settled science can trump free speech, what speech cannot be trumped, merely by having crony financed lawmakers convene hearings, invite favored experts, and "settle the science?" Next, will we be hearing that the science of global markets has settled the issue of open borders, so that science requires that all illegals be amnestified, thus requiring that it be hate crime to speak or question to the contrary? Once ordinary Americans defer so much scientific authority to so called social, business, and environmental experts, will they not have turned the entire nation into one of women kept by experts who know best? A law of unintended consequences, or fallacy of composition seems to be at work in a most unsavory way: As individuals, cultural relativists have fought so hard against traditionalists that they have sacrificed the very individuality for which they were fighting. They have made themselves cattle to be farmed by experts. So now, instead of the moral paternalism of traditionalists, we have the law-backed paternalism of experts who know best ... ABOUT EVERYTHING.

Napoleon Obama needs for us to sit still and appreciate that some are more legally endowed than others. Everyone is cared for, but some are more cared for. This is called "redistributive justice," which proceeds by taking proceeds --- by taking from producers, in order to give congressional cronies the keys to the banks and to give to their supporters the shakedown change.

The more we try to make the fairness of a legal paradise, the more we make hell on earth. The worms ye shall always have with you. We need more lawyers like we need more marxist profs. Like we need more Obamanations. The legal profession has been overtaken by a philosophy of culturally relativistic redistributive justice. The idea seems to be that spreading more money to a larger class is the sure way to the greater good. The most worthy become the most needy, regardless that their need arose from sloth and that rewarding sloth is the surest way to produce more sloth. Instead of promoting an environment that generally rewards the energies of those with self drive, the legal system tends to reward those who are specially driven to reward the most whinny. Instead of rewarding profs who teach producers, we reward profs who attract students who want to specialize in representing the special favor seekers (law twisting cronies) and whiners of the world. Why this philosophy of rewarding the most whinny should be thought to be a "good" thing goes unexamined. Thus, the moral environment becomes polluted with lawyers, profs, grievance mongers, and philosophers who take it as an unquestionable given that a well organized moral environment is one in which a trained monkey has more innate moral status than a month old baby. When the goal is to make everything culturally equal (except traditional values), then no center can hold --- unless it shifts from being compatible with nature and gravity to being compatible with the Great Sucking of the Great SuckerMaster. Which is how Obama, with a lot of help from fem-profmen, became prezy, to the temporary joy of the lowest common denominator. That is, until he leads us to ever lower levels of hell on earth.

Business tends to be masculine, based on be what you can be. Law tends to be feminine, based on postmodern redistributive cultural relativism, radicaly untethered to tradition or constitution. We need a common sense synthesis of business and law. Given Obama and his Scotus appointments and Czars, that is quite unlikely. Far more likely is that Obama will opportune to appoint to Scotus a third radical feminine cultural relativist altogether divorced from common sense. Only three men remainon Scotus: Scalia, Thomas, and Alito. The rest are fems and femimen.

Re: "the Republicans' political "revenge" investigations"

Usually, doubling down on a bad bet is not a good idea. That is, unless the House is required to give you unlimited credit and cover every bet. Then you can't fail. In Obama's case, the House is the Media, (Candy Crowley coating)covering for Obama because Obama is fronting for the House --- and the House (Cronies) owns the Media. We now live in a Meta Republic. We vote, and the House pretends to care. We bank, and the House pretends to protect our interests in the currency. We read the News, and the House pretends to tell us the truth. We listen to the Speaker for the House, and he pretends to care about what we think. A plague on this House.

Kid's games often entail "King's X." The rules of the game are temporarily set aside for whomever may have acquired the X power. Obama has refined the concept to Crooks Triple X. Our Prez has a fascination and talent for insulating himself among crooks and corruption. In heaven, he would be the original leader of the Choom Gang Revolt. Liars come and go, but none have had more audacity than Obama. It appears Obamagirl Wannabes can't get enough. The man's a pure hero for rebels of the clan of cultural relativists. The only thing that binds them is Obama's hatred of traditional American values, as embodied in "Whitey." There seems to be an inverse exponential relationship between the power he acquires and the amount of trust that should be accorded him. Unless Brooks and Medved are clueless sheltered awestruck pee their pants little girls, they must be part of the sinisterism. A big part of Obama's power base depends on our culture's having been overrun by clueless sheltered awestruck little girls with nothing more significant to do with themselves than to pee ther pants when Obama basks in his mirror and Bieber drools into a fan. It appears our culture will not tolerate men until girlie cultural relativism (i.e., everything goes) has exhausted its course. The handwriting was on the wall that Romney had to lose once he reined in his confrontation against Obama out of fear of troubling the women.

An Epsilon Bomb is being promoted that will replace families with government. So long as we still believe in the family as the best institution for raising the next generation, we need to ask: Do we want cheap foreign laborers with large families mowing grass on several jobs, so they won't have time to supervise their displaced children? Will those who find advantage in hiring illegal, cheaper laborers stop employing illegal laborers once old lawn mowing laborers have become citizens? Or will they have become habituated to looking for the next source of illegal, thus cheaper, labor? On an individual level, the answer is clear. On a common level, the answer is that failure to enforce the border is the surest path to national decline.
.
Amnesty will inevitably lead to much greater governmental intrusion. More bi-lingual classes will be needed. More prisons. More social workers, paid for with tax money, to supervise the children of cheaply paid lawn mowing people. That increase in governmental intrusion is precisely what Progs and National Cannibals want. The product they intend to breed, grow, and harvest consists in the dumbest brute labor that Prog and Cannibal money can buy. Prog policy is to flood America with Epsilons in order to help with the great take down and cannibalizing of America. Once these Episilon jobs are displaced with machines, America will be left holding the bag and being obliged to pay for the perpetual care, housing, and feeding of ever more Epsilons. Inevitably, the institution of the family will be replaced with the institution of the Crony Farm System. Corporate chiefs will place orders for Epsilons needed to be shipped to the next big plantation. People won't need to be rounded up. They will be enticed by famine to sell themselves into bondage. Anything to get away from the new Lords of places like Mexico and Columbia.
.
Who is high on the suspect list for paying kick backs to American Pols to promote this? Well, Mexicans looking for a relief valve, to foist problem people elsewhere. Question: How is saving Mexican derelicts supposed to encourage Mexico to stop producing derelicts? It becomes clearer every day that the Regime is intent on reducing America to an incubator for Epsilons. Who benefits? Crony cannibals: Soros and Obama. Question for Elite Femimen and Cultural Relativists: What is the morality, caring, and "progress" in destroying America in order to reign in a millenium of Crony Lords ruling Epsilons?

The feminist and gay cultural relativity that has monopolized the media and social sciences is making the world more violent and dangerous by diversely unraveling all objectively assimilitive standards. Their model of respect for diversity seems to be the Tower of Babel. Cowardly enough, their strident uprooting of all traditional values is directed primarily at the metrosexualized males of the West, and not at the obvious reptile brains among Palestinians, Arabs, and Iranians. When little boys don't grow up, little girls begin to think they are naturally endowed with all the answers. And the answer is: Anything goes! (Except white males.)

Obama is not into the business model of availing growth for individual strivers. He is into the racket that made the Dark Ages such a success: Selling indulgences. He is into the business model of holding down growth except for those who are willing to buy indulgences from a syndicated hierarchy. Secularists intend to corner the market on selling indulgences to everyone who wants to be on the take, i.e., cronies and commies. Instead of going to a religious confessor, every sinner is expected to buy his indulgences by kissing the ring of his ward heeler. Obama got most of his spiritual education in Chicago. Every time Obama "pivots," it's to find a new way to choke out indulgence money. Every increase in Obama's power is applied to bust the chops of anyone who tries to cross the syndicate. All such violators will have their names and addresses collected so they can be put on a fatwa list. He means to keep score and learn where you live. The only people fit to live under a muzzie Obama regime will not be fit to be called human, much less Americans.

The regime is illigitimate because it has utterly broken faith with producing Americans, yet it has immunized itself from being removed. Indeed, the regime struts its street cred for spitting at producing Americans. Cronies and commies are carving up and redistributing America to neer do wells in record numbers. Perpetual La Raza children are throwing tantrums at town hall meetings for adults. They are funded and recruited to bring down the big game: the tea party producing middle class. The middle class is being ankle bitten, marked, and monitored like never before. Can the regime be trusted with the power that is consolidating for monitoring good faith Americans? No. Can the regime be trusted to defend Americans' interests abroad? No. I can relate to Snowden's effort to go down fighting. Probaby, his act of defiance will be no more effective and no less inspiring than a mouse giving a last finger to a black hearted eagle. If so, Snowden may figure the new majority of cronies and commies is unworthy of his sacrifice, hence unworthy of his company. He may be trying to opt out, as best he can, from carrying cronies and commies around his neck. Unhappily, there are few places remaining that cronies and commies have not despoiled. For cronies do not really practice free enterprise, and commies are not really charitable to others.

The Tea Party wants the fairness of an invisible hand of the marketplace, made gentler by charities and churches. Cronies and Gangstas want the fairness of a board of redistribution, made fair by harnessing and working Whitey and destroying churches and families. The Tea Party promotes excellence.

In the name of fairness, I make a bold proposal. We should revoke nature! For that, we need a non-discriminating Board of Handicapping Equalization. The function of the Board would be to assign values so that each person could be assigned a ratio. That ratio would be imprinted on each person's credit card and applied to all taxes (such as the gas tax). Also, bail bonds. Only in this way could fairness be made as blind as it should be. Indeed, all conditions could be factored! People who are dumb as a doorknob, ugly as sin, or poor as church mice could be assigned a 1/100 ratio. People who are too smart, beautiful, or rich, on the other hand, would receive a 100/1 ratio. Skin color could be tested by hue sensors. Green and Black would receive 1/100. Average white, 100/1. Albino, maybe 1/50. When passengers are in the car, everyone's ratios would be averaged. (Monitors would ensure the passengers were not just borrowed for the moment at the pump.)

Age, health, and disabilities may present complications. Age could be factored based either on distance from the median or on fairness in longevity. (This should be deferred to the expertise of the Board.) Same with health and disabilities. Hermaphrodites should receive 1/100 status. Gays, 1/75 (unless they are married, in which case they get the full monty 1/100). Likewise for Muslims, 1/100. Jews, 100/1. Atheists, 1/75 (unless they are active militants, in which case, 1/100). All these values could be added so that each individual would have his own unique ratio. (Red headed partially bald men would specially plead their cases.) The beautiful thang about such a ratioed system is that it could be applied to every tax! In this way, we could achieve zero tolerance for profiling! We can make this happen. Please send this suggestion to every Prog representative and Black Caucus member you know.

*Note that each person's unique assigned ratio could also be applied to renormalize all test scores and GPA's, thereby eliminating the need for a plethora of affirmative action programs. That way, we could submit grievance mongering straight to the black hole of the Board.

The Board that Knows How Best to Reduce Subjects to Sarcs could also deploy hyperlinks on credit devices, to allow assigned ratios to be continuously reviewed and updated, such as for determining welfare benefits. If we don't want to rely on the invisible hand of the marketplace and privatize roads, we can rely on the artificial hand of the Board of Redistributional Fairness.

The poor tend to be gullible. State media will continue to convince many that redistribution has simply not yet been done right. As if redistribution ordered by elites who are voted into office by gullibles who are harvested by elites will ever be done in any way that would free gulibles from needing goats offered up for blame, The goats, of course, are always the independent thinking kulaks of the middle class, i.e., the Tea Party.

The rich benefit from such a business model for ruining a country by ensuring a steady supply of needy and dependent labor and by eliminating competition from middle class strivers. Judas goat elites benefit by being well paid for their treachery. The poor benefit by being given ready made grievances to nurse. Who suffers? Those who long for basic freedom to think, speak, and work. Everyone benefits in the short run, except the best of humanity.

Restoration against such a depraved combination punch of greed and envy tends to take a millenium. Countering such a natural conspiracy borne of greed and envy requires the assimilation of a brave and worthy middle class. That requires respect for Christian like values forums (churches) and families. Since we are well down the road of destruction of churches, families, and educated free thinkers, it will be a miracle if decent and effective conservers of human freedom and dignity are elected in the next several years. There are simply not yet enough people who understand the challenge, themselves, or the base nature of their opposition. Few battles against natural conspiracies of evil are won with such low levels of assimilated understanding. As much as ever, we need the strength and guidance that come of re-committment to principles of godliness. Without that, there is not the ghost of a chance.

May I take it that you believe you are conscious of an innate basis for moral empathies? However, you prefer not to call that basis God? And you believe that people coming together in churches to reason in good faith about where such belief should lead them is not desireable, perhaps even a bad thing? And, once having come to such conclusions, they ought not be allowed to express their basis in the public square? I may be overstating your position, but that seems to be a not uncommon position.

The math behind science helps us recognize likely parameters for possible choices and outcomes. It often helps predict outcomes to desired levels of accuracy. It does not predict or control precise outcomes among possibilities that lie outside any carefully controlled lab. What is "the cause" of any particular determination of any one possibility out of a myriad of others? One way to rationalize that is to assume that all possibilities occur, given enough worlds. That, however, seems no less supernatural than an idea that such other worlds are not needed. That is, the very existence and unfolding of math-based functions seems supernatural enough, and may be rationalized to carry with it an innate function for guiding innately empathetic choices among possibilities, via an innately reconciling function that is qualitatively related to each math-based signification.

We both seem to be trying to rationalize or reconcile morality with evolution. Whatever the quality of that Reconciling function, I call it God. To recognize that evolution is so guided and reconciled is a basis for inspiring people to come and reason and analogize together, in local forums (churches), in the language of parables and metaphors. I doubt metaphors can be avoided. I prefer that method for assimilating values over the central force and monopolizing propaganda of consolidated government that hires elitists (atheists who pretend to "know" best), much as a mob family may hire gunfighters. The very idea of "causation," at its most ultimate level, is ambiguous and carries with it a supernatural passenger. The energy that accompanied the big bang and that is with us still is not amenable of mathematically complete description. I doubt we get "closer" to a complete description. I suspect we get more technologically proficient in turning an unlimited potential in algorithms to whatever the purposes we presently happen to have been led to adopt.

Pols are often little different from advertisers. When advertisers reach out to solicit people to give free stuff to, they're not doing it because they don't expect any payback. They're doing it to put you on their long hook. They're trolling the bottom to make permanent debt servants out of those who are most gullible. Then, they recruit each new debt servant to help with hooking his friends. It would seem nice to have a constitutional amendment to forbid feds from "reaching out." However, Scotus would just allow receivers bearing raspberries to make end runs.

I don t think science can explain all, any more than I think math can ever be complete to mortal perspective. And I think human digmity calls for more than merely to use one another as test cases for scientific purposes. You still seem to be looking to justify conscious belief, declination to commit, and moral purposefulness based on empirical verifiability. I think there abides a realm beyond verification in empiricism. I don't feel a need to try or expect to measure the immeasurable. I seek only to intuit, respect and appreciate it, and in that way to try to be receptive to it, and to be respectful of the intuitions and cherished metaphors of others to it. Your words seem disdainful of such a need, but I suspect your actions will often belie that disdain. I tend to see acts as words also, even as I recognize how incomplete and imperfect each of us is. I don't require a verbal affirmation of God, nor do I believe that God does. Affirmations in the language of acts is enough, and faked affirmation in words is not. Committed affirmation in words is icing on a cake. I think we will gain more insight and hone a more consistent language as we leverage our appreciation for an astonishing potential of algorithms for enhancing minds. Much of miscommunication has to do with ambiguities in translating variable perspectives. While I think a quality behind the power and potential of algorithms is real, I think its reality can only be intuited in the empathetic good faith of mortals, not measured or empirically proved. However, when we start leveraging minds, I think that will enhance many intuitions.

Many people, especially children, need a foundation of assimilating mores. There would not even be language with which to communicate were everyone simply to approach each situation anew and do as he pleases. It may be interesting to do a statistical check, to see what proportion of children of Libertarians fall through the cracks and either become addicts or become non-contributors to defending or preserving the demographics needed to sustain a viable republic. Something that concerns me about Libertarians is how they seem either to forget about children or to assume children should be exposed to everything to which adults tend to be exposed.

A man alone on an Island may feel little more responsibility than to nourish his bodily and mental appetites. He would not acquire habits and disciplines needed to sustain a cooperative civilization. The only moral principles he would feel a need to rationalize would be to soothe and balance his immediate chemical and electrical urges, and he may have little need for higher principles. However, such a primitive, "libertarian" philosophy will not suffice as other people and civilization arrive, nor will it suffice to guide the raising of the next generation. Children need guidance at least as much as they need liberty.

I would go further and say that I suspect the quality of empathy is innate to the cosmos. It is interesting that you consider such as evidence that there is no God, while I see such pervasive empathy as the spiritual footprint of God. I don't think you quite got my point about the character of experience that would constitute evidence of a qualitatively pervasive yet quantifiably immeasurable source of empathy, which source, to me, is God. I suspect many of our prayers are translations of iterations of the same prayer. Apart from appearances of separate perspectives, I suspect we are simply variable translated and iterative perspectives of a single consciousness. After all, what's in a name, whether you call a being Bob or Ray or Thor or Peter, it's still just an iterative translation of consciousness. And that is why I think empathy is innate: our source of consciousness is not really separate. If A is A, then consciousness is consciousness --- regardless that qualities of translation offer a variety of recurrent experiences.

Regardless of the best of atheists' intentions, I think government rushes to fill the vacuum when the people lose forums for assimilating their own values.

Regarding burden of proof: If your test for establishing "non-trivial truth" is defined so as to accept no evidence other than what can be materially quantified, then, by definition, you will not accept any evidence that abides beyond material quantification. You will overlook what C.S. Lewis called "inside information." If you don't believe, you will simply call that "not evidence." However, if God is of a quality that is not empirically measurable, but which avails signification to all that is materially measurable, then one may want to consider what could abide as the "evidence" for such a spiritual entity. Obviously, there could be no "burden" to produce quantifiable evidence of it, nor could there be a burden on a mortal to produce evidence for how the cosmos would have unfolded but for the participation of an immeasurable creator-guide. Instead, one may look to the character of math, to intuition, to the quality of consciousness and to the iterations of identities, the philosophy of causation versus correlation, etc.

What would be the quantity and quality of life in the absence of spiritual faith, even assuming such would be possible? Without faith in an innate source of moral empathy, evolution would be cold, heartless, meaningless, and, if anything, more bloody.

When one does not know, one may alternate between belief and doubt. And one's experiences and choices may tend to correlate with the ebb and flow of how one rationalizes one's beliefs. When one seeks to control physics, one tends to operate as a believer in quantifiable mechanics. When one marvels at the significations of physics generally, one may tend more towards appreciative belief in the quality of the spiritual. No mortal knows of a unifying model that is good for all purposes. Rather, each of us tends to invest faith and belief in the model that seems most fit to the purpose at hand. I suspect the extent to which one "really" identifies as a believer or doubter fluxes with time and purpose. I suspect God sees to our essence and may not much care about the labels in which we wrap ourselves. Regardless, I think Churches that preach to the example of Jesus are invaluable for inspiring and assimilating resistence against otherwise fascist tendencies of authority agglomerating governments.

I have generally thought that a-moral means without morals, a-gnostic means without knowledge, and a-theist means without belief in any God. If one were against morals, it would seem one would be an anti-moralist. If against knowledge, anti-gnostic. And if against God, anti-theist, or against religion, anti-religionist. However, I am not sure the divisions can be cleanly divided into separate sets. For example, issue may be taken with whether one can "really" be an anti-theist unless one first knows God exists. Maybe an a-theist should be one who has no opinion or puts no dog in the fight. Problem is, I doubt one can really stand on the sidelines of morality, when deciding not to act on a choice would itself constitute a kind of choice. Even without having a clear understanding of words, animals seem to make empathetic, moral, and meaningful choices in pursuit of purposes. My cat seems to have faith that I will continue to feed him when he is humgry. And he seems keen to communicate a cold shoulder when the meal was not so great. Although they holler no, I think so-called atheists and agnostics are creatures of faith, at least as much as my cat. I think their faith is in a government that monopolizes celebrations of faith. Why any intelligent person should have such faith in such an airy concept as government puzzles me. I would tend to prefer a variety of congregations over a force monopolizing fascist.

In effect, cretins who majored in black studies are now regulating doctors. And cretins in the electorate, led by corruptcrats, voted for this outrage. They voted themselves into bondage and ill health, and swept the middle class along with them. They are making America a sewer. What's worse, it seems to gratify them. Hey Kids, what time is it? It's Obama Detroit Doody time!

To my lights, also incoherent are: morality and salvation limited to the human form, merely because of its form and merely because of "belief" in such incoherency. Intuitively valid: Faith in God, immeasurable spiritual qualitativeness, morality, empathy, purposefulness. Intuitively invalid: an unguided, indifferent and entirely random evolution of bubbles of cosmos.

The idea of an end of time seems incoherent to my mortal sense, as do the ideas of original sin and eternal salvation or damnation. I don't intuit much need in religion for such ideas, but I do readily see how elites can deploy such ideas for their own, not necessarily good, purposes. I do believe morality (good and evil) abides as an innate aspect of evolving adoptions of purposefulness. I think empathy abides, both as a general rule (Great Commandment) and for particular applications (Golden Rule). And I think the State's knowitall elites tend to the path of evil when they ridicule the idea of an innateness of morally appreciative purposefulness to the cosmos.

The feedback of empathetic appreciation by participating observers is part of the process by which evolution is guided, i.e., not indifferent.

This is about the wages of false charity. People voted to tax money, to channel to bureaucrats, to distribute to people who are poor, incompetent, addicted, caught in crime ridden ghettos, and infested with sickness generating attitudes. What is the effect? Well, we are paying people to be poor, incompetent, addicted, caught in crime ridden ghettos, and infested with sickness generating attitudes. And we are getting more of what we are paying for!

What we are not doing is teaching people to get worthwhile employment, learn skills, stay disciplined, and avoid bad influences. The reason we are not doing those things is because our revenues have been diverted to government, which is incapable of doing such things. Indeed, were government actually to solve problems, then its chiefs would have fewer jobs and less security. Indeed, many government chiefs would argue that it would tend to "unconstitutonal establishment of religion" were government to try to foster any particular set of civic values. So, the message to those who get the government handouts is that they are being paid to be socially irresponsible. The regime does not want people who act responsibly, because such people would vote the regime out of office. To not be socially irresponsible would be to start "acting white." And acting white is something the government does not pay to foster. Nor is government able to foster "acting white." Moreover, the charities and churches that used to have skills for fostering responsible habits are being effectively replaced by government, which has no such skills.

The worse this gets, the more the central government urges its supply of lofo voters that the solution is even more central government. When existing lofos lose their motivation, the regime simply imports more lofos. This is like recruiting addicts to vote on whether their treatment should consist of ever more addictive drugs. Moreover, this madness leads to more centralized corruption, cynicism, secrecy, and lying. The more our government centralizes, the more it lies to try to justify the centralization, and the more it tries to keep its lies secret. Imagine if the anus were to centralize power in order to block every other organ from performing its function. When the regime's survival comes to depend on its anality and secrecy, then the regime will take the step to the final solution: widespread despotism and scapegoat hunting. Who is being roused to go scapegoat hunting, and who will be the goats? We've seen how goosesteppers behave once they have too much government up their anuses. Indeed, now our government wants to give tax incentives to militay men who have anal fixated partners. We've seen how this movie ends.
