Predators and aggression

 I think when you are on the edge of a cliff and if you are worried about being knocked off it, you might think of lots of innovative ways to defend yourself from this possible aggression.  

And so today, lots of us find ourselves if not out on some edge, at least feeling that we are on some edge.  

If you go along way back in history, and of course a lot depends on how you wish to journey back, but it is easy to view history as a process by which larger and larger numbers of people get hooked together in various ways.  Sometimes , these larger groups of people, being linked together results in substantial advantages, that you can kind of call cultural benefits.  

Now, of course, this situation does have some disadvantages, when you consider that , when one group of people threaten is some way another group of people we often end up in quite complex conflicts, that often involves considerable aggressive, and sometime even predatory behaviors.  As many people will both note and agree, this issue have been going on for sometime,  When we consider how darn right risky this issue is , you might think we would have some better understandings at this time  about the whole situation, than we do in fact have, but I think many people are now coming to the conclusion that, this is not a highly beneficial behavior at this time.  Mostly, if we want to benefit, then we need to survive as a cohesive culture, meaning a large scale cultural, which is able , not so much to assimilate those cultures or perspectives, but respect, and acknowledge them, and how each one of those perspectives can be beneficial to us all, which obviously means everyone.  

So, what does this all mean?  Okay, you always need to step back, because, you want to try and get out of your own way as much as possible.  We see aggression and predatory behavior in nature, all around us, and throughout or history, so we might conclude it is natural.  But, of course, that does suppose you have quite a --- clear --- notion of what --- nature is --- or might be.  But survival is a big deal.  And if we do want to do, that, we should use the tools available to us, and one of those tools is our ability to reason, learn, communicate and improve.  One simple example of that might be --- the bicycle --- ..

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...
