And of course fear

 Now, the first thing that immediately comes to mind is : Fear is the mind killer ... from Dune, and even though it was said on a distant planet, and some considerable time in the future, nevertheless, it does seem quite down to earth, in fact maybe Abraham Lincoln , actually said that, or maybe it's just in his notes, in the margins, and was never published, ... who knows ?  Well, of course, that would be Douglas Addams , which kinda' follows along, because , an important principal of the Hitchhiker's Guide, would have to be ...

Don't panic ...

Nevertheless, having said that and gotten my mind completely distracted thinking about Dune, it seems like fear is an important subject following on from the previous three concerning , hate, evil, and hell.

As you are probably well aware, all three of these concepts are ( significantly ) enhanced by ample doses of one of our favorite experiences , which is of course ---- fear ---- .  All three of those things would not be such a big deal if not for being over amped by fear.  For example, there might be a --- Hell --- right here in the U.S.A. , meaning a town, as there was a town name Paradise, made famous of course by John Prine with a song with that same title.

So, can we get rid of fear. Me no know.  10 million, 50 million, ???? how many years of evolution went into that ????  Maybe, a, well,,, I think that me have been some time.  Somehow , people do manage.

Oh, yes of course the god of war, i.e. Mars, had a son, whose name means fear. (Phobos?)

Synchronicity

 So, this strange, word, which suggests something like, two things happening at the same time, which are seemingly disconnected.  So, that may appear first mostly in the works of Carl Jung, and the formulations of many of his concepts related to applications of phycology.   Now, to the best of my understanding, Irwin Schrodinger, in the late 40's and early 50's kind of latched onto this " concept ", in relation to describing the " kind of " physics, connected to biologicals processes.  So maybe this is funny or not, but during this same time Schrodinger was supposed to be working with Einstein on the >>> Unified Field Theorem <<< , I guess, the " Theorem " gives it all away.  At some point , Schrodinger may have given a >>> press conference <<<  in which he announced that " they ", had been successful.  Well, he had not previously consulted Einstein, and apparently Einstein response was, okay we are don...

Perplexity, absurdity, and power

 So, when you consider or imagine " absolute " power, you must also consider the issue of " infinite " work.  In other words, without the results or effects of power, you really don't know anything about it. Nevertheless, throughout most of human history, we have labored under this concept of " absolute " power, which in and of itself produces very difficult logical or mental conundrums.  Of course, Dr. Einstein was fairly successful in dispelling some of these odd conundrums in particularly as regards some of our notions related to the physical world and our " environment " so to speak, however, that required a life time of work, and the help of many colleagues over the years. But simply, even if you do consider the >>>> universe <<<<< to be an infinite amount of work and therefore requiring an infinite/absolute amount of power, well, if you're going to try and rustle up numbers that actually make sense, you ar...

Something, something, reality

 Now, when we reflect back on " reality ", most people will agree, >>> it's hard to do without it <<< Now, we might be able to figure out how Godel's Proof , ties back to all this stuff, but it seems to me that if you want to describe some kind of reality, then you pretty much have to talk about diversity, and so probably, possibly what you are really talking about is the " ability " to sort out, elements of diversity as being a substantive process which it kind of seems like is persistently .occurring.   This might occur through action like --->  back actions <--- of some different processes or  even ---> front action <----, which might be easier to comprehend. So , if you are an automobile, and you can travel to pretty much anyplace in the world within 1 hour, then, things might look a bit different, particularly if you are into variation and transformation.  So, for example, Ralphy will rarely go to Africa, unless, it's l...
