Technology and such

 So, to begin with I want to distinguish between " hard " and "softer" technologies, based primarily on one variable often connected back, to Max Planck and Albert Einstein.  So, the harder technologies would be those who are closely associated with Dr. Planck's famous or infamous -- number --.

But the really interesting technology, much more related to the -- issues -- at hand, would have to be the rheostats which are used to -- adjust -- temperatures.  So, it should be clear that we did not have them at the beginning of the 20th century, and therefore the issue of - how did the human race manage without this device for the previous several millennium, arises. In fact, thermometers have only existed for about 400 years, and so if you think about it, nobody in history really knew how hot or cold it was (*???*).

That is just a bit frightening to think, that for hundreds and even thousands of years, nobody really knew how hot or cold it was.  Somehow we managed.  I have no idea how that was possible, but it seems pretty clear that it did, in fact, happen.

 And so, it is my opinion that most of the technology that we do have, is basically pretty primitive, on account of, we have only had it for maybe 100 years, so it can't be all that great.  I would have to exclude the thermometer and the telescope which we had somewhat longer that that.  

So, finally, ( finally is a really tough word ), we should all expect change, on account of that's mostly all we ever get.   The most important issues facing us, and facing us in a very, very serious way, would have to be, if that change will be be for the better or not.  And for the better, would clearly have to be, for the -- better -- of everybody, because , what the technology we do have , has provided us with, is the great difficulty, we have to be, in any real sense, separated.

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...
