Apparently 1984

 Well, you know, 1984 was 40 yrears, ago.  If we had a device which could transport us all back to that time, well if you are less than 40 years old, you would be going into a completely new or different world.  

And of course, for the rest of us, it would be a curious journey, to see ourselves as we were 40 years ago.

 But I " surely " did have quite a lot of optimism about the future at that time. Probably because I watched so much Miami Vice.  Oddly, I ended up in Miami not long after that. 

Anyway, it is quite hard to sidestep the issue of 1984 without talking about the science fiction " classic " , 1984 , of course by George Orwell , which I saw for the first time as , maybe 8 years old, in black and white , on T.V. at a time, which really should have been after my bed time.  Need less to say, that did scare the hell out of me, yet there did remain sufficient hell in me, to get me to where I am today.

Well, to sum it all up, the key to 1984 , was double speak. Black is white, good is bad, because believing in things that defy our reason or logical sensibility , keeps Big Brother, in charge.  That's how the game is played, which is also what makes it so hard to stomach, or digest. 

Well, on the bright side, the world did not fall into some kinda' of abyss in the 1984 that I remember.  So, I guess there is something optimistic in that way.  Will double - speak or Double Speak , take over in todays world ?  Finally, is there something we can to practically do to combat it ?

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...
