More on, United States of America

 With the many issues and or crisis which we might find ourselves in, the issue of a country's name does seem , somehow, not that significant, but imagine if there was some international organization that was tasked with determining how well the name of a country represented what they where all about.  Now many would obviously fly under the radar.  For example, in Europe many bordering countries or maybe non-bordering counties have come to hate each other over so many generations, that name changing of a country would almost be the same as changing languages.  Many other countries, I/m sure, would pass easily , but you get to the United States of America, well, some purely random and un-biased investigator might have a few questions, like, do you actually have some examples concerning how or why you might think your country is United ?

Well, there is the Super Bowl, and the World Series, and we are pretty united about that, and we also like to have regular, periodic elections, specially during which large numbers of people like to disagree with each other.  In addition , we all focus pretty heavily on that during the Olympics .  And the name feature prominently on many beverage containers, as well.  

Well, I could see the possibility that such and un-biased and objective investigator might be swayed by logic of that type.  Yet, there does, often remain, somewhat of a doubt, that perhaps we are not as truly United as me might imagine ourselves to be.  But you can't really blame those folks from long ago, who came up with that.  I am quite confident , that at that time, it did make sense to them.

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...
