Plato did not like democracy because the mob voted the death penalty for Socrates. That is where representative democracy came into play to moderate direct democracy. A very simplified and paraphrased and somewhat analogized version of an over two-thousand-year-old historical saga, but as true as any such approximation. Climate catastrophe is looming and whether civilizationContinue reading “Kinzinger: Lies Trump Truth”

Democracy Delegitimizing Extremism. To the far right the term “Democracy” is not much different than “Communism.” In their view they are both systems that steal from the wealth creators.

I have posted several comments on YouTube on the white supremacist “secret dream” of a white planet and no one seems to think it is actually a possibility. There are people who, having grown up watching apocalyptic movies, want to burn civilization down and depopulate the world so their favorite ethnicity can repopulate. How manyContinue reading “Helter Skelter”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Litten A certain lawyer who tried to stop Hitler. It did not end well for him. Though I am not a lawyer, I do have quite a bit of material posted on the internet, which is forever. And if they take power, me, and many others, will also end badly. Very badly. These creatures onContinue reading “I Feel Like Hans Litten”

I attended a holocaust memorial event some years ago at an Army base and it was one of the most intense experiences of my long life. It was not the testimony of the very aged survivor or solemn words by other speakers that changed me forever. It was simply the look on the faces ofContinue reading “White Planet”

Ground vehicles, Aircraft, and Ships, all must carry their energy with them and simply burning ammonia creates nitrous oxide which is far worse than carbon dioxide. Separating the hydrogen and nitrogenContinue reading “Another Hopeful Development”

You can build a very large ship and accelerate it with Space Solar Power to some percentage of the speed of light out of the solar system. Store enough nuclear energy and reaction mass to slow it down once it reaches its destination. And that is how you get to another star in however manyContinue reading “Fermi Again”

“We are energy independent, we are food independent, we are in a good place”- but Christiane asks why all the corporations are axing people. As a capitalist, Galloway loves to trivialize what the news makes a big deal out of. “I am a believer the faster you fire people, the faster you can rehire them.”Continue reading “Space Karen”

I have always thought a way freeze people without damage would come first and then there would be a race to reverse aging while millions would be frozen and stored to keep them from dying. Maybe we will not have to freeze anyone.

Money has become the demon-god of this world. There is little doubt of this in the early 21st century. Neoliberalism has become the driving force in civilization and now threatens to burn it to the ground by way of Climate Change. What immediately comes to mind is the Fermi Paradox and the most likely solutionContinue reading “Left-Right-Mixed”
