An American sport

 

So, generally, like to think of this as not too hot, and not too cold, but then, you know, sometimes, it just is.

So, I am thinking about , in particular baseball, but of course both games and sports have many things in common, and generally there is some type of lessons involved, if simply about working in groups, and how groups can be most effective in how they work together.  

Of course, I grew up at a time , when, amazingly , but truly, the great American sport/game, of baseball, was transmitted, without the need for wires at all, ( well, maybe a few wires, but not so many ), directly into your individual home.  In many ways, the meaning of this was  what is often referred to as incredible, meaning of course, beyond the limits of credibility.  But, nevertheless, it was so, although it did mainly begin in the garage, and eventually worked it's way into the -- home -- proper.

But then, for me, being quite young at this time, I viewed baseball players as something more than human.  Obviously, if they could fit inside a tiny plastic box with a window, they most have extraordinary powers. And, it did take some time for me to process that, and come to understand that I was viewing regular people at some incredible distance away.  Well, I am not sure how well I processed that, but for most of my childhood, we treasured these people in the form of small cardboard photos that we collected and perhaps occasionally shared with others, in the hope of really impressing someone.

But one take away, from baseball for me , as, I actually learned that I too was capable of playing this remarkable thing, I think, was the running to first base.  It was the hitting of the ball, and then instantly running off, not forgetting to drop the bat.  For me, that was an awful lot of things to keep in you mind, all at the same time.   Nevertheless, I did, and I have over time.  Keeping all that stuff in your head at the same time, gradually increased my enthusiasm for football, in which you had to know far less, and there was usually  someone counting or making noise so you had a better idea of what was actually going on.

So what is my point here?  Well, I just guess that, in life, in various ways, we have opportunities to learn stuff.  A lot of this stuff we do learn, can often help us , a long our way.

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...
