Optimism

 So, this is not so much about, hot and cold, or even so much about north and south, but mostly about recollections.  This is mostly about my parents.

My mother was an Optimist, although, I have never met another Optimist, my understanding is they once had an organization, maybe had meetings to talk about what, or why, they should be optimistic.  I just don't know. I know she was, because she talked to me about it, and also , I know about the word, optimism because of that.  My mother was also a Republican, and I also know this because she told me, but she didn't really explain it in the same way as concerns Optimists.  

Now, it was much later in life that I learned that my father was also a Republican.  We never did talk about that, but I knew this mainly because of  his " friends " or " acquaintance ", like Judge Sirica and George Wallace.  During the late 60's and early 70's he was very happy traveling to Washington, D.C., to discuss air travel, which was probably his favorite topic.

But, of course, although they apparently voted the same way, they were of course, very different kinds of people.  So much so, in fact, that they always had different last names, even after they got married, and thinking about that now, it does seem a bit odd, but at that time, I never thought about it.  

So, somebody might make some sense of this, but actually it's just to say that the names Republican and Democrat are things we learn at various times in our life, and they will of course have different meanings to us , at different times.  

Today, we have arrived at a point where Democrats and Republican agree on very little, almost nothing, in fact.  One thing they do seem to agree on is that Democrats think Republicans are stupid and likewise Republicans think Democrats are stupid.  It does not seem totally impossible that they might both be right ( or correct ? ) .<> ? Somebody should have explained this better to me when I was 8 years old..

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...
