06.16.26 ---- My note to Prof. Max Tegmark at M.I.T. on this date: Hey Max, how many sensory input systems do you and others have where you are? There are life units, one named Rupert Sheldrake and others on this planet, who tend to think that they have 6 senses. Professor Sheldrake has long had an ongoing research program testing that theory.
In this area here, one can find many species with ten or more senses. Consider:
"Plants do not have a set number of sensory inputs like the five traditional human senses. Instead, botanists classify plant perception into about 15 to 20 distinct environmental stimuli. Because they are sessile (rooted in place), plants use highly sophisticated cellular receptors to monitor and adapt to their surroundings."
https://share.google/aimode/M5e4ZqxLkt2jsQbrt
One thing all those species have in common is that they are made of various cells, all of which requier an aquious solution.
-----------
"There is no single number of senses for all animals. While humans are traditionally taught to have five senses, neuroscientists and biologists recognize that animals can possess anywhere from five to over a dozen different senses. Animal sensory biology varies widely based on evolution and how each species interacts with its environment."

Do you see any hope for my Betsy, my Windows 7 computer? I've long been thinking of putting her in the rain barrel in the hopes of necessary updates. What would need to be added to that rain water so that she could be able to connect up ether with AOO, the Almighty Omniscient One, or even AI / AGI? She also needs the ability to connect to a legacy MFP. Connections to more modern 3D printers and granite stone engravers would be great extras.

05.12.26 ---- Dr. Sagan's 2/9/1990 address at the 5th Emerging Issues Forum at NCSU, broadcast live on NC Public TV
I grew up in Poughkeepsie, New York and graduated from Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY in the late 1960s. According to A.I., Potsdam is 192 miles north of Cornell which is in Ithaca. (As a fan, I enjoyed our our team beating Cornell at hockey, as I recall. 🤔😊.)
The introductory speaker of this video, Roy Park, stated that "[Carl Sagan] travels a great deal. By conservative estimates he logged several hundred thousand miles in the past three years." Did that much travel ever make sense?
I can certainly understand why some folks in Potsdam, even engineering students, might prefer a warmer climate. Nevertheless, unlike Dr. Sagan and Senator Gore, many of us students of science, engineering, and math grew up taking Dr. Carl Sagan and Senator Al Gore seriously. Both had long been very informative and eloquent speakers. But why didn't Dr. Sagan and why doesn't now former Vice President Gore ---- why have they not taken themselves seriously?
It seems to me that what the world needs are role models. Why did they not seem to have any concerns regarding their personal contributions to CO2 emissions?
Sincerely,
Would-be local transportation & systems guy, a.k.a. would-be trillionaire (congregations of believers needed), formally an independent student of Natural History, currently an independent student of origins of lives (plural), consciousness, universe; epistler; retired farm worker, retired elementary school, high school, and college student; a B.S. with 144 hours in math, science, engineering, etc.; miscellaneous factory, restaurant, and other jobs; would-be local transportation & systems guy; and urban / Martian / Lunar farmer; Lebanon, Missouri, planet Earth.
Appropriate local vehicles, a New Library of Alexandria combined with appropriate housing, retirement plans with benefits, volunteer technology assistants, updated office, directors, executives, proof readers, golf carts, trolley systems, managements, and quantum mathematicians / physicists / chemists, needed. In terms of the economics of the commons, both a physical wall and an internet fire wall around the city would be good.

08.14.25 ---- A couple weeks ago I stumbled on the solution to a 45 year old mystery: How does one make sourdough bread so that the texture is soft but strong so as to hold up like commercial bread when sandwich making. The answer: Tangzhong.
https://share.google/zerWfqt5Nc9q1pf43
Since that discovery, said procedure has now been well confirmed anecdotally here on a personal level.
08.08.25 ---- comment by me @MoHikes
I agree. Furthermore, it has long occurred to me that "PhD." degrees are anachronistic. Thinkers such as Sir Roger Penrose ought to be given Dr. of Science in Physics degrees. I've come to see and value his science and logic as being Euclidean in nature. Said epistemology is a breath of fresh air as compared to the muddled epistemology of Evolutionism of the life "sciences."
One can only imagine that future Drs. of Science in Physics, Biology, and the Origins of Liveses (plural) will come to see the seemingly obvious, in my view, connection between Sir Roger's Twistor Theory and the origins of the double helix and single strand structures of DNA and RNA respectively ---- not the epigenetic or genetic codings but rather the structures.
"Penrose's twistor theory is a mathematical framework developed by Sir Roger Penrose that offers an alternative perspective on space-time and the fundamental nature of reality, particularly in the context of quantum mechanics and relativity. It proposes that points in space-time can be represented by more fundamental objects called twistors, which are related to light rays and complex geometry."

08.05.25 --- Subject: The life "sciences."
They are still thinking in terms of chemistry, physics, molecules as opposed to quantum chemistry, quantum physics, quantum atoms and molecules. Also, we need to realize that Darwin and Darwin's sales and marketing people got it wrong in terms of a single progenitor of all life. We need to think in terms of zillions and zillions of origins of liveses (plural).
Consider that DNA and RNA are a matter of both helixical (double and single strand) structures and, separately, epigenetic and genetic coding. In regards to epigenetics, life was not created in a test tube. Rather, the environment/s for origins of liveses was far different than today's in terms of gravitational waves, electromagnetic waves, etc., and other "material" and "non-materialistic" factors.
Just as a fun thing for little kids to do with, perhaps, some relevance --- have grade school kids spread some iron fillings on a sheet of paper. How boring. But then, give them a magnet. 🤔.
But Professor, there's an ad on the internet that's promoting a perpetual motion engine. Are you saying that sales and marketing is deceptive, biased, and anti-science? Surely, sales and marketing folks, evangelicals, politicians, and economists must have missed that lecture. ??
"16 nucleotides, only one of which is useful." Well, : there are but 17 fundamental quantum particles in the universe. ??
10 minutes in: break time.
Hey kids, let's take a field trip to one of those factories where they make those nucleotides. Do you suppose the C.E.O. gives himself a reward for each nucleotide that is produced? How does that work?

07.27.25 --- Sir Roger Penrose's Twistor Theory:
"In theoretical physics, twistor theory was proposed by Roger Penrose in 1967[1] as a possible path[2] to quantum gravity and has evolved into a widely studied branch of theoretical and mathematical physics. Penrose's idea was that twistor space should be the basic arena for physics from which space-time itself should emerge. It has led to powerful mathematical tools that have applications to differential and integral geometry, nonlinear differential equations and representation theory, and in physics to general relativity, quantum field theory, and the theory of scattering amplitudes. --- Twistor theory - Wikipedia https://share.google/EasXYPIwGJhmzCXE1

07.22.25 --- If Prof. Tour as Elmo has $10,000,000 to give away, he might do better to give it to his own campus village here in the colonies. Some interesting science is apparently being done by Rice University villagers:
https://youtube.com/shorts/OK5hdvwnJfg?lc=UgzZLlEGtH0UreKO-RJ4AaABAg&si=EcK7IFcGZCQpe629
"Early synthetic biologists copied DNA logic instead because transcription is easier to program. Projects such as the bacterial repressilator showed that gene‑based loops can hum for hours, yet their slow pace limits medical use.
"The Rice group chose the faster route. They treated every kinase–phosphatase pair as a Lego‑style block, then wired blocks together to build entirely new pathways."

https://share.google/Y2xQuS7pgbT34EPoM
Of course, in terms of originses (in de American language) of liveses (ibid.) on the early Earth and Universe, one is left with the same old questions such as regards the availability of kinase–phosphatase pairs and the appropriate wiring / quantum fields.

How would the gravity fields interact with other quantum fields / particles so as to create ubiquitous DNA and RNA structures and codes?
Eric Weinstein: "The story of physics is the story of the world economy." :-) :-). So children, do you see what you need to do? It's best to go to business school, learn how to sell, and profit therefrom. Ignore science which is supposedly rational, objective, and unbiased.
Piers Morgan re.: Tax Network USA, reading gasses, water test kit, Vita Mahjong game, The Final Tech Profecy, etc., etc., etc.

07.08.25: Epistle of Dan to Michael Collins; final edit.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=i87lxfoT36w&lc=UgwJ6uWlxb0IDjkaHtB4AaABAg&si=Q9tCFVWOx17v8iqN
So, Dr. Collins, why did you abandon your studies of quantum mechanics? Surely quantum mathematics / mechanics / physics / inorganic chemistry / organic chemistry / biochemistry/ biology are the way to truth and the light. Do you not so think? Clearly, Evolution is nonsense. It may or may not have been a useful paradigm for your astounding work over the decades. Nevertheless, it's nonsense in terms of Natural History.
For one, perhaps a scholar can be found to put together a book of definitions of "evolution." How many pages do you suppose said volume would be? (My favorite author of all time, the late Antonio Lima-de-Faria, might contribute his page and a half definition.) Other than a few scholars as Lynn Margulis, who stated that "evolution simply means change over time," I tend to think you will find most all definitions have at least one idea in common: they all assume Chuck Darwin's assumption of a single universal common ancestor. But clearly, and obviously, Chuck's assumption is absurd and ridiculous, especially in light of current knowledge. It is absurd and ridiculous despite the endless sales and marketing by Chuck's colleagues and intellectual descendants over the decades. Sales and marketing is inherently biased and thus not objective or scientific.
Furthermore, Evolutionism, the epistemology of Evolutionists, has made even more of a muddle of the muddle which is the English language in their misuse of other words crutial to science. Consider "fact" and "theory" which philosophers of Natural History have devoted many pages discussing since Darwin. In science, we don't prove facts to be true or obtain ever more evidence to verify their truth. A fact is based upon a well verified observation and is true by definition --- throughout all time. Thus a theory, whether it be geocentricism, heliocentrism, a round verses flat Earth --- a theory is supported or refuted by facts and the mathematical laws developed from said facts. But however true said theory may be thought of as being, it is never considered to be a fact. "Fact" and "theory" are two distinct words and not synonyms of each other.
"In science, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment." --- N.O.O. (the Nearly Omncient One).
From my education, facts are repeatedly verified and theories are confirmed.
Evolutionism has provided us with another ridiculous concept that we might facetiously adopt: There can be only two theories at a time. Either theory A is true because it's naturalistic or theory B is true. Whichever theory wins gets the prize of government funding. Since Evolution is obviously absurd, I seriously suggest you might consider an alternative. If biblical Creationism is considered naturalistic theory A, consider quoronic Creationism as theory B (or vice versa). In addition to discussions with the Oxford philosopher, Prof. John Lennox who indicated he sees biblical Creationism as a possibility (apparently a paradigmical possibility), you might also visit with advocates for quoronic Creationism. See:
"The most obvious place to begin with is in an Islamic understanding of life and nature. Life is the most precious gift in the universe. If the universe is made analogous to a tree, life would be its finest fruit. The entire universe with its matter, energy, laws and activities are brought together to produce life. Life is nothing short of a miracle which makes the tiniest living creature comparable to a cosmic star. Life is the most extraordinary miracle of divine power connecting living creatures to every other being in existence." ----- "Caring for God's Creation: An Islamic Obligation - ISRA Academy.

Even now you all ought to be sitting there with masks hanging around your necks as mementoes of what you all and Dr. Fauci were recommending back then and should have been doing, even when social distancing didn't necessitate masking. Praise be to Dr. Birx who actually can be remembered as wearing a mask, a very elegant scarf, and thus for being a good role model.
Ditto the need for role models in regards to human contributions to global warming. Why not get together with Al Gore, a marvelous speaker also, and see what you all can do in terms of providing positive personal behaviorial examples in terms of limiting the necessity for transportation and other behaviors that lead to negative economic externalities (i.e., sin). Surely politicians must have better alternatives than to throw endless funding at streets, roads, and highways.

09.03.23 --- Matters of war or peace.
Perhaps I should explain my position regards politics and religion. Is there an alternative to being a bit philosophical?
I am in favor of both politics and religion but only up to a point. Regards the former, a capitalistic, democratic republic and economics with an emphasis on democratic capitalism at local levels is favored. Such would be inclusive of an appropriate political economics.
Regards religion, I've come to believe that all the world religions contradict the notion of world peace. To the extent we, as adults, overly emphasize any one particular theology and religion over another, we are in conflict with others who believe otherwise. Taken to the extreme, war and the proverbial "survival of the fittest" is the result.
So, assuming that war is to be avoided, what are the solutions?

08.15.18 ----- redownloaded the 5 books by Henry George I have. Attempting to understand how he would handle water and mineral rights. Unfortunately, he isn't explicit on that but one would assume such rights policies would follow his land policies. Implementation and enforcement seem as problematic as current policies
02.18.18. ------ I posted a comment on Black Canary's marvelous 3-star review of THIS IDEA MUST DIE: SCIENTIFIC THEORIES THAT ARE BLOCKING PROGRESS. (2015) by John Brocken, editor.
While I am not a politician, I am nevertheless seeking support for some of the core ideas and values that we all share or might be convinced to share, particularly in the areas of science, technology, transportation, environmental economics. I'm interested in how all this relates to common sense land use planning and development --- common sense in terms of both the human and natural environment. I've long been interested in more viable local systems of transportation. Most recently I have been finding the economics of Henry George to be potentially enormously applicable to a more viable political economy, including land use.
A secondary interest has been and continues to be is in attempting to correct the false epistemology that has arisen in theoretical biology. The pitting of naturalism against supernaturalism has, in my view, for all too long institutionalized the erroneous paradigm, "evolution" / Evolution, and rendered the word all but scientifically meaningless. A false understanding of science has for all too long been in schools and in public forums. What is, in my view, a false understanding of Natural History, has for all too long been promulgated. In my view, Evolution and the singularities of origins of life and species this term has long denoted is clearly false. Naturalistic Parallelism is a more appropriate term. The thinking of Lima-de-Faria (minus his use of the word, "evolution" and acceptance of a singular tree-of-life / common ancestry) is very reflective of my view.
Semantics is a major area of concern: scientific fact, materialism, evolution, theory, and other words have often been problematical in public forums. In my view, American words have far too many meanings. More unique words with definite and precise meanings are needed, particularly in science.
A personal goal is for some paychecks under Social Security, however modest, so as to pay off debts (financial and moral), and so as to enhance my lifestyle. I am thus seeking support in organizing a think tank.
My academic life and interests over the last few decades have been primarily focused in two broad areas. The second, below is of primary relevance to CTP Think Tank.
(1.) For the last several decades I had been preoccupied with the fallacious epistemology and absurdity of pitting naturalism (Evolution) against supernaturalism (Creationism and elements of Intelligent Design). In my view, scientists have been led astray by the ideologues of Evolution.
The apex of my journey into discovery of truth regards natural history, to the extent we can know it, occurred with the reading by yours truly, NaturalHistoryGuy / LocalTransportationGuy, of A. Lima-de-Faria’s EVOLUTION WITHOUT SELECTION: FORM AND FUNCTION BY AUTOEVOLUTION ([1988], 2012). Other than for a definition of "evolution" and acceptance of the singularities of origins of life and of species implied by Darwin's theory, Lima-de-Faria's view is very close to my mine. In my view, the term “evolution," due to the multiplicity of definitions, has become all but scientifically meaningless.
(2.) I was brought out of the woods back in rural Missouri in 1980, from my then Thoreavian escapist / "Mother Earth News" life style, to live here in the city by a news report relevant to local community and transportation planning. (Try to put all that on address labels. Thus the primary reason, coupled with a broadening of interests, for the change to CTP a few years ago.) Cities (and villages) have yet to figure out, in a capitalistic society, how to appropriately grow as cities as opposed to suburbs. Mainstream economics and outdated institutional complacency have long been in conflict with appropriate environmentally (natural and human) friendly land use.
With enough interest and organization, we could get on top of the economic system that the intelligentsia and aristocracies have inherited and thus imposed upon all of us. The financial and political institutions currently remain over incentivized not to make the common sense institutional corrections that led to the 1929 Great Depression much less the 2008 Great Recession. Surely we can begin to change that.
We as a society must surely find ways to better account for what economists label "externalities," both positive and negative, such as environmental and resource concerns that have not been suitably internalized and accounted for. Reason also dictates that there needs to be a better accounting of incremental costs.
These economic and community land use interests have led to an associated passion regards the relevance of local transportation and systems. The needs of cities / villages are seen as being distinct from the needs of the suburbs and rural areas. Some land use and transportation system models to consider might be Disneyland, Disney World, or other theme parks; college and university campuses; and so forth. Whatever we might do in these regards to help bring about a better society must be done in a spirit of fairness and just recognition of historical realities. Thus, while it could potentially be possible to save tens of thousands of publicly and privately employed persons from toiling in endeavors associated with the current personal transportation industry, a primary goal would be for this to be fantastically positive for them and for society.
Some of my most recent activities at CTP Think Tank (with pseudonym NaturalHistoruGuy when posting at Amazon.com) in reverse order:
--- April 20 .... Posted my 24th review at Amazon, this one of Wadi's book regards his adoption of atheism as his new religion.
--- April 19 .... Adam Wadi wrote a book titled ATHEISM FOR MUSLIMS: A GUIDE TO QUESTIONING ISLAM, RELIGION, AND GOD FOR A BETTER FUTURE (2017) which he sent me notification of via my review of Dawkins. I have been reading and writing a review of that book.
--- April 1 .... I rediscovered "Buzzy's Button" in my back room and have been enthused about the possibilities in that regards regards slogans, cliches, and so forth.
--- 03.25.17 I've been taking time away from the library and internet to get some much work done in the apt. regards spring cleaning and reorganization. 500 sq. ft. gets pretty cramped over the years. I also sent some epistles regards "infrastructure" and Naturalistic Parallelism to Clarkson Univ. and also the math dept. at Univ. of SC. Quite tiring. Pleased to have a little time off here at the library.
--- 02.25.17 Posted the following at Amazon which has been having a "rules crisis" of its own.
Att. Veritas, I think I have figured out what happened to Peter Nyikos. There are only two possibilities. (1) He deleted his own Profile and thereby caused a collapse of all his comments. Such is the power of God. Or (2) which I forget.
So what do you think? That's a QCD, QCD proof truth certainty. Amen?
================
Peter, great that you are back. I have had a large envelop on my desk for a couple of weeks now that I have been meaning to send to you. If I decide to stop adding to it, I may well actually take it to the Post Office and mail it. I will keep you waiting in suspense and anticipation. :)
I have been considering changing my Amazon pseudonym to "Free Infrastructure Guy." However, that requires some administrative overhead that I am not prepared to do. My congressional representative is sponsoring a bill to support rural access to the internet. But you know how the politicians are. We can't have too much of Ike Eisenhower free infrastructure but when it comes to other utilities, including 21st century internet infrastructure, poor folk ought to pay up regardless of the differing differential costs and environmental externalities.
=================
Carnivore, 'The Lord Giveth and the Lord Giveth." Or something like that. What you think? It's all about religion. Can I have 10% of your income. I promise not to spend it on the icons of the current aristocracy.
Regards these other philosophical and epistemological questions, Jack Van Impe Ministries predicts that Jesus will return sometime in 2017 or 2018. We would be able to ask "The Man" Himself about any unresolved issues. For only $24.95 you can get the video tape! (Personally, I'm rooting for "Woman." Man has done a lousy job over the millennia.)

"'Dr. Craig Venter Denies Common Descent in front of Richard Dawkins!' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXrYhINutuI)"
From: "Synthetic cell may reveal what is necessary for life" by Rachel Ehrenberg in "Science News"; Dec. 24, 2016 & Jan 7, 2017:
"[.....] In 2010, researchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute in La Jolla, Calif., had stitched together a copy of the entire genome of the bacterium 'Mycoplasma mycoides' and popped it into the cell of another bacterium [.....]. But that 'synthetic cell,' dubbed JCVI-syn1.0 contained a full copy of an existing genome. With more than 1 million chemical building blocks of DNA, including 901 genes, it was far from minimal.
"The latest version, JCVI-syn3.0, reported in March in "Science News" (SN: 4/16/16, p.6), has roughly half that much DNA. It's also the first cell built using human design principles: One segment of the genome has genes for various processes, such as DNA repair, grouped together rather than scattered willy-nilly. Abandoning the untidiness of evolution for a logic-driven blueprint enables a 'plug and play' approach, [.....]
"The techniques used to build JCVI-syn3.0, especially when considered alongside other engineering tools such as the recently developed CRISPR/Cas9 system (SN: 9/3/16, p.22), are a meaningful step toward the once-distant goal of self-replicating minimachines. [....]
"The minimal genome effort also aims at a larger philosophical question: What is life? In a lecture in 1984, origin-of-life expert Harold Morowitz discussed how studying the small and simple 'Mycoplasma' genome might invigorate basic biology in much the way that studying the hydrogen atom sharpened questions for physics and chemistry. (Morowitz died in March, two days before the JCVI-syn3.0 work was published online.)
"Many scientists, for example, were stunned to learn that JCVI-syn3.0 had 65 genes with no known function that were nevertheless required for survival. [......]"
[One might wonder if the 65 genes might not be place holders needed for packing. See below.]

See also: (1) "The Origami Revolution"; PBS NOVA, 02/15/17 --- the mathematics of origami / folding.
(2) "New view of genome reveals how cell packs DNA neatly into place" in "Science News"; 1/07/09, p.14 --- the mathematics of fractal geometry.
COMMENT: Regards refutation of common ancestry, consider especially "studying the hydrogen atom sharpened questions for physics and chemistry." Life obviously began with non-singular events and has, in my view also (assuming that Venter does indeed deny CA), continued in parallel manners ever since.
--- 12.10.16 A couple more comments at DD. Finally, we seem to making some progress.
--- 12.09.16 Two more comments at Baldwins review regards quantum mechanics and the need for a common dictionary.
--- 12.07.16 Three more comments at Baldwin's review; page 147,151, 153.
--- 12.05.16 Posted on page 147 Aaron Baldwin's 1-star review of DARWIN'S DOUBT.
--- 12.03.16 I made three more posts at Aaron Baldwin's review of DARWIN DOUBT. I postged on pages 136 and 137.
--- 11.29.16: I posted some three comments at Baldwin's 1-star reiview of Meyer's DARWIN'S DOUBT. I had previously posted several other comments at the same review.
--- 11.14.16: I left a couple more comments at DARWIN’S DOUBT at Aaron Baldwin’s 1-star review. The following is to Carnivore / Les (?) in response to a U-tube clip titled: “Is Jesus the Son of God?”:
“Thanks much for the youtube ref. < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of-LkwSC8vE >.
“I have limited time here at the library but that clip (even without sound) looks interesting. I have downloaded some of the more recent comments to my tablet for further study. Offhand it looks like the topics there are ones that religious leaders need to be engaged in and take some responsibility for resolving, to the extent that religious beliefs can be resolved.. Obviously, the newsmedia ought not be M.I.A. as it has been in the past.”
--- 11.02.16-11.09.16: I’ve long had a Koran on my book shelves. Now, having been inspired by the anger and hostility (Islamaphobia) of Jack Van Impe Ministries, I’ve downloaded a free version of the Quran / Quraan / Koran that includes in-line commentary. That book of old (authored in the 7th century A.D.) is clearly hostile to Christianity (authored in the early centuries A.D.), to other non-Islamic religions and furthermore indicates some values that are non-acceptable to the modern world. I also see pluses in terms of science and resolving the muddle which is the Christian “Trinity.” Some questions are, do modern Moslems universally accept the same values of old and who are the supposed “wise old men” who make such determinations? Etc.? See also www,whyislam.org.
--- 10.20.16 I commented on G2's comment at Aaron Baldwin's 1-star review of DARWIN'S DOUBT.
--- 10.15.16 I have been rereading Naomi Klein's THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING: CAPITALISM VS THE CLIMATE (2014). Needless to say, Klein is an astounding thinker. (Wondering if she has read any of Henry George's work.)
--- 10.14.16 I have been recycling my Meals On Wheels trays. In addition to turkey dinners, I have been making breakfast trays. For four meals I make an omelet using 8 well beaten whites, 6 beaten yolks with jalapeno peppers and chopped kale, and 1/3 lb. tofu. I have been including turkey sausage, pinto beans and mashed sweet potato. (Diced baked white potato is also good --- fewer calories, however also less nutrition.)
--- 10.04.16 I posted another comment at Darrel R. Falk's 1-star review of Jerry A. Coyne's FAITH VERSUS FACT: WHY SCIENCE AND RELIGION ARE IMCOMPATIBLE.
--- 09.26.16 I came across a review of Henry George's PROGRESS AND POVERTY that I had forgotten I had drafted last fall. Obviously it is a 5-star book. My review title is "Towards Modeling a More Ideal Political Economy and a Potential Economic Paradigm for the Century.
--- 09.26.16 I wrote my 22nd review and posted it at Amazon. This one is for a book by the economist, Henry George. His book is titled PROTECTION OR FREE TRADE: AN EXAMINATION OF THE TARIFF QUESTION, WITH ESPECIAL REGARD TO THE INTERESTS OF FREE TRADE (1886). My review is titled "Trade: An Outdated and Expensive Means of Promoting Peace." I gave the book 5-stars. George is an outstanding thinker and it is quite amazing to realize that he ended his formal schooling at age 14.
--- 09.03.16 I wrote a poem to Anon Y. Mous and posted it at my review of Dembski's INTELLIGENT DESIGN UNCENSORED at Amazon. Am I a poet and just don't know it? :)
--- 08.19.16: A few weeks ago Michelle began saying to me "Te Amo." But not finding that in my electronic translator, I have assumed that was just the usual religious translation of what she has been telling most everyone. But further research on the internet leaves me much more excited with possibility. I declare Aug 19 as "Te Amo Day."
--- 08.13.16 Posted another comment at Falk's review of FAITH VERSUS FACT.
--- 07:30:16: Atheist and prominent Evolutionist, Jerry A. Coyne, wrote FAITH VERSUS FACT: WHY SCIENCE AND RELIGION ARE INCOMPATIBLE (2016). Christian Evolutionist Darrel Falk, author of PEACE WITH GOD (2004) with a Foreword by Dr. Francis Collins of N.I.H., wrote a 1-star review of Coyne’s book and titled his review “Surely We Deserve Better Scholarship.” Randy P. recently commented negatively of Falk’s review. I commented, this date, on Randy P.’s comment.
--- 07.22.16 I have responded to Doug Korty at my 3-star review of Ernst Mayr's THIS IS BIOLOGY. Korty also wrote his own 4-star review which I commented on this date.
--- 07.19.16 Double hallelujah day, July 18, 2016, is celebrated:
1. Halleluiah. It's been no fun being in debt for the first time in my life. Very frustrating and time consuming dealing with medical bills. But as of today, at least the Columbia portion of my “vacation" was settled. I made my first $50 payment toward reducing that $35,292.67 amount, with the option of increasing payments as my income increases. In any case, there is the possibility of being debt free in less than 60 years. At 700 yrs. (Steve's estimate of human longevity) - 70 yrs. (my current age) - 60 yrs., I would be left with 570 yrs. of freedom on Earth. And who knows, perhaps one of these days I might even find a job under Social Security and freedom will come sooner.
2. Well, hallelujah, Michelle and I met with the Doctor last week. I no longer need to spend time keeping daily fluid and bp records. I no longer need to keep my legs held high.
--- 07.16.16: A revised the March 2016 CTP Think Tank Newsletter and have transferred it here to the library for emailing. Would be pleased to send upon request.
--- 06.22.16: I posted a draft comment (from the Moon) at Amazon regards the Eureka STK air filter by Crucial Vacuum. Posted at Guy1.
--- 06.14.16: I downloaded Graeber's book and post another comment at Hans Despain's review.
--- 06.13.16: Posted a comment at DEBT: THE FIRST 5000 YEARS by David Graeber. Comment directed to Hans Despain and B. Rell at Despains 5-star review: "Future Classic in Economic Anthropology."
--- 06.13.16: Michelle has allergies. Thus I have been studying and writing about THE ALLERGIE SOLUTION by Leo Garland. Garland recently aired on PBS.
--- 06.10.16: I posted my 21st review at Amazon. See PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HAPPINESS by Ken Keyes jr. I updated my review "Recollections of ...." a day or two later.
--- 01.18.16 to 02.04.16: Forced to take a two week "vacation" at Mercy Hospital here and at Columbia Medical Center in Columbia MO. Total cost for two weeks, including travel: $48,251.45. How much would it cost to fly into some "3rd world" country resort for a similar "vacation"?
--- 10.17.15: Former Fed Chair Ben Bernanki and former Sen. Jack Danforth have recently been promoting their books. Apparent "thou shall not steel" is to tough to implement and self-defeating at the higher echelons of the monetary system where "casino gambling" continues to prevail.
--- 10.02.15: I posted another comment at Narut Ujnat's 4-star review of Robert Reich's SAVING CAPITALISM FOR THE MANY, NOT THE FEW (2015).
--- 10.01.15: Been working on a Permanent Fund so that all citizens of states other than Alaska might also have an income source based on their ownership of the Earth's resources.
--- 9.21.15: I have been rereading Naomi Klein's THE SCHOCK DOCTRINE. But for $30 billion or more, it seems that the mess created by "The Chicago Boys" post break-up of the U.S.S.R. might have been mitigated. A couple clichés seem relevant to the U.S. handling of the break-up of the U.S.S.R. and our failed attempt to install top-down capitalism sans vigorous democratic oversight:
“The road to hell is often paved with good intentions.”
“Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
--- 9.17.15: It is very exciting to have discovered the city of Rolla MO. I have been studying their "City of Rolla Downtown Plan" 2009 by the Meramec Regional Planning Commission in conjunction with the Rolla Downtown Business district. How would regional rail transit fit in? What variations on local transportation are possible? Also, I am wondering how soon folks there will discover the goings on at EPCOT at Walt Disney's Disney World.
--- 8.31.15: I've been reading the Georgist economist, Mason Gaffney and also the Georgist Mary (Poly) Cleveland and others. Gaffney indicates that semantics has been problematical at the paradigm level of economic theory. I have long suspected semantics has been a difficulty regards Natural History studies in terms of deception of views.
--- 8.25.15: Added a couple updates to my George review. Added a comment to David Wineberg's review of HENRY GEORGE AND THE CRISIS OF INEQUALITY by Prof. Edward T. O'Donnell. Thinking some more about "Monopoly."
--- 8.25.15: Yours truly, NaturalHistoryGuy, posted a review of Henry George's PROGRESS AND POVERTY: FULL AND FINE TEXT OF 1880 (ILLUSTRATED). Amazing book regards political economics.
---- 8.17.15: I posted a 2nd comment at SteveT's 1-star review of Kark Giberson's THE WONDER OF THE UNIVERSE. Comments are regards semantics.
---- 8.12.15: I left a comment at Femme Vitale’s 1-star review of Alfred Korzybski’s SELECTION FROM SCIENCE AND SANITY. Yesterday I wrote a brief note to my Senator, McCaskill, in response to her being interviewed on the “Diane Rhem Show” on NPR.
---- 08.04.15: I posted a comment at a review of Jerry Kaplan's HUMANS NEED NOT APPLY (2015). Posted at David Weinberg's 4-star review.
---- 07.30.15: I posted another comment at Francisco Ayala's AM I A MONKEY. This post is at the 5-star review of Steven H. Propp.
---- 07.25 -- 07.30: Ozark Public TV broadcast a "Sense of Community Program" regards Springfield MO and regional transportation. I have been responding to that in whatever limited way I can find. I find the addiction to the status quo ante to be insane.
---- 06.06.15: I updated my economic 10-point plan as posted at the book by economist Joseph Stiglitz. (See comment at 4-star review by Angie.) I added a quote from R. Buckminster Fuller regards the importance of society funding persons whose jobs have been eliminated by automation.
---- 06.19.15: I posted at Linda Judd's 5-star 06.01.15 review at Amazon of Stephen C. Meyer's DARWIN'S DOUBT. I suggested some thoughts regards "God" from the perspective of science and religion.
---- Posts at Jerry Coyne’s FAITH VERSUS FACT: WHY SCIENCE AND RELIGION ARE INCOMPATIBLE (2015). Darrel Falk, former president of BioLogos dot org, wrote a 1-star review of Coyne's book. 06.08.15: I posted two comments in support of Falk. I could work with him.
---- Posts at Amazon UK: 4.28.15:
NaturalHistoryGuy made his first post to across the oceans to UK at RR's review of DARWIN'S DOUBT. Took a lot out of me. Also posted at Brightside's 2-star 10.08.2013 review. On 05:02:15 I posted again to Kevin at RR's review. On 05.06.15 I posted at EBrown's 1-star review of 10.20.13. On 05.09.15 I posted again at RR's review. On 05.11.15, another post to Kevin. 05.15.15: Kevin, Stickler, and Prof. Tertius at RR. 05.17.15: Still fighting the IOEs at RR review in UK. 05.21.15: The atmosphere at RR seems to be improving.
---- At AM I A MONKEY by Francisco Ayala. I posted a comment at the 1-star review of Paul Vjecsner.
---- Posts at Amazon reviews of Stephen C. Meyer's DARWIN'S DOUBT. I commented at several of the reviews.
---- ECONOMICS: 05.21.15: I posted a comment at the first review of THE GREAT DIVIDE (2015) by Joseph Stiglitz, economist. Forgot to include #10. Who ought to own the nation's and world's natural resources? On 05.09.15 I added #10. I also commented at Alan F. Sewell's review of 04.24.15

Daniel's Latest Interactions
Dr. William Li's response to the theft of his personality / Making "Thou shall not steal" a law of the land.
To: Earthlings, others:
Assuming this also isn't a fake video*, praise be to Dr. Li for being a real world leader and for at least taking a first step in solving the long standing problem of impersonations.
As an independent student of theoretical physics, I've found the same annoyance in other areas also. Impersonations of Sir Roger Penrose and Richard Feynman ("the best teacher I never had"**) have been particularly annoying.
Celebrities such as Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz have been impersonated. Why they can't be bothered to do anything about it, has long been a mystery. The personality crooks ought to be locked up. If governments and law enforcement can't be bothered to lock up the crooks, then why do we-the-people need governments and law enforcement? Or is it that the law is inadequate?
I'm not a lawyer or politician. Perhaps a law is needed. How about: "Thou shall not steal." Supposedly we are a "Christian" nation. If Christians can't be bothered to help solve the problems of the world, then perhaps some other religion will.
Notes:
*Dr. William Li regarding impersonations of himself ---- YouTube
** Bill Gates regarding Feynman;
Bill Gates uses the phrase "the best teacher I never had" to describe the legendary Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman ---- gatesnotes and others.
Meanwhile, may it be that medical "science" and the political, economic, social, philosophical / theological irrationalities of our current times don't conquer you. May you and yours not be conquered by the mind numbing marketing and political economics of the intellectual descendants of Edward Bernays and the statistical analysis data demanding religion of Rev. Thomas Bayes. May you be saved from being guinea pigs for ever more data collection and the resulting pharmaceutical fine print.

Appropriate local vehicles, a New Library of Alexandria combined with appropriate housing, retirement plans with benefits, technology assistants, partners, updated office, directors, executives, proof readers, partners, golf carts, trolley systems, managements, and quantum mathematicians / physicists / chemists, needed. In terms of the economics of the commons, both a physical wall and an internet fire wall around the city would seem to also currently make sense.
Long-term Interests:
(1.) Local transportation & systems; a political economics that supports local representative democracy; local capitalism; determination of and accounting for positive and negative economic externalities and incremental costs; local community & transportation planning and development on an ongoing basis; trash and the minimization thereof.
(2.) a. The superiority of --- even considering the resulting uncertainties thereof --- the deductive, abductive, and inductive reasoning of science coupled with the mathematics and logic thereof based on Euclidean and neo-Euclidean reasoning, a few common notions, and the best naturalistic inferences therefrom versus the inductive and subjective "reasoning" of Evolutionism based on encyclopedic definitions and the endless inductions of hypotheticals and the marketing thereof as has become the norm of the life "sciences."
b. English to American dictionary for all sciences and maths based on one-to-one correspondences between words (and symbols) and their unique definitions;
c. Origins-of-lives (plural) studies --- cellular biology and genetics, epigenetics, extra-cellular environmental and quantum influences.
(3.) Having spent some time researching family history and especially tracing a lineage back to Edward Doty who arrived here on the Mayflower --- I've come to find genealogical histories to be fascinating. Question: Why don't we know anything regarding the descendants of Mathew, Mark, Luke, John, and other biblical and non-biblical religious characters such as Mohammed, Confucius, Buddha, etc.? We know that at least some were married. Surely their descendants would have thought highly of their forbearers. ??
Especially now in this world of AI /AGI, I favor top down and bottoms up Universal Full Basic Incomes for all, beginning at birth --- controlled and categorized locally thereby reflecting community and personal values and priorities thereof, to the extent possible. There would be two broad spending categories, one for mandatory spending among the choices provided and the other category including discretionary spending for oneself or ward.
An alternative might be zakat. Or, sadly, everyone might just have their very own gypto / crypto currency.

What is a "representative democracy"? What is "capitalism"?
Attention all U.S. Congressmen and Senators, would-be U.S. Congressman or Senator, and believers:
Who amongst you represents me on each and every issue that comes before the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate? Let me know and I will use one of my antique postage stamps, an envelope, and will write in a vote for you. (More preferably, every individual would have a secure at-home voting machine at his or her disposal.)
Some issues, such as the daylight savings time issue, have been before Congress since I was in my late 80's:
"The elimination of Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the United States was first brought forward and enacted in 1919, just one year after it was originally introduced." ---- Wikipedia.
Should folks be paid if they aren't able to do the job they are tasked to do? What political-economic philosophy is that?

Potentially Useful Organizational Constructs.
To: Would-be departments of world religious studies.
cc.: others.
Attention children and others at the would-be departments of religious studies:
If we are to assume that a reasonable goal of humans is peace, joy, happiness, and prosperity for all humans ---- then it's clearly obvious that, as we take a look at the long history of humans over the millennia, the supposed wise old men of yesteryear and today deserve an F-. They have failed.
Other than figuring out how to grow sweet corn and other foods on the Moon, Mars, and elsewhere in the heavens, what are some solutions?
Consider the Middle East and the long, long, history of those conflicted desert lands, especially since the Ottoman Empire and the discontinuance of the British Mandate. Note that, in terms of what then became Israel, the State Department under President Lyndon Baynes Johnson had considered the idea of "condominium" as a useful organizational construct:
"While internal U.S. State Department memos during the Lyndon B. Johnson administration briefly mentioned the distinct idea of a shared 'condominium' status specifically for Jerusalem (rather than the nation of Israel as a whole) during 1967 post-Six-Day War discussions, it was never adopted as official policy or advocated by a U.S. president." --- "Jerusalem: Legal Status, Condominium and Middle East Peace - vLex International Law"; https://share.google/o1iAu0Hq1fii2vGX4;
see also, "ApproachingPeace.pdf.pdf"; https://share.google/KHNpY9NymjrN0fCI5
Also from the Internet:
"In international law and political theory, treating Israel or parts of it (like Jerusalem) as a condominium refers to a joint-sovereignty arrangement where two distinct states or authorities share equal dominion and governance over the same underlying territory." ---- https://share.google/aimode/yRridAcbcJgA9A5Lj
While that was in terms of Moslems and Jews, it would seem the term could just as well apply to various groupings of folks on a nationwide scale whose religious views are at odds with each other. For example, I was recently informed that Zionism and Judaism have been in conflict since 1949 when Israel founded itself apart from Islamism.
(We missed a similar opportunity of human dialogue here when the American Indians welcomed us with open arms at The First Thanksgiving.)
The thought I've most recently been having is regarding the Ethiopian Bible:
1. "Read Download Ethiopian Bible In English Complete 88 Books PDF – PDF Download"; https://share.google/pf7LYD1LrL7MfwSql
2. "The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church officially recognizes 81 canonical books, though the broader traditional canon can include up to 88 books." ----

Suppose copies of those volumes of books were sent to every school child in the region. Surely they could find solutions superior to the attempts of distant and recent history.

Euclidanism
At 3: 33 --- "This means you start with a tiny set of assumptions, and you recover a plethora."
As a student of high school geometry and one who had always considered Euclidanism as being integral to Natural Science, I certainly agree with Curt on this.
But tell that to Evolutionists (and economists, politicians, others) with their idiotic epistemology, "evolutionism". As a long time independent student of Natural History, I've come to find the scholars thereof to have been unconcerned about the fundamentals of math and science.
So Curt, what do you and your partner think? Do we-the-people here in the down under and you there in Canada need evermore of everything, for the sake of the economy and getting the word out thereon? What do you need:
A. More traffic accidents so as to provide jobs for auto injury lawyers and the charities they fund?
B. More sickness, accidents, disease, etc. so as to provide more jobs for the healthcare industry?
C. More streets, roads, and highways so as to provide jobs for the transportation industry?
D. More abstract mathematicians so as to detail all points A and points B on the map which is the territory of some supposed reality needing ever more streets, roads, and highways?
E. More laws so as to provide evermore jobs for lawyers, politicians, and law enforcement officials?
F. More sales and marketing folks to invent evermore of those law violating engines that suck in CO2, exhaust O2, and deposit H20 in the cargo bays of planes, trucks, and automobiles?
G. More engine noise in our cities so as to mask the happiness sounds of the birds and other creatures in nature?
H. More Wall Street money changers and crypto currency crooks?
I. More junk food.
J. More glysophate and other herbicides and pesticides?
K. More jobs for we-the-uneducated and more happiness for transcendent academics and their heirs?
Choose one or all of the above.
More seriously, especially now in this world of AI /AGI, I favor top down and bottoms up Universal Full Basic Incomes for all, beginning at birth --- controlled and categorized locally thereby reflecting community and personal values and priorities thereof, to the extent possible. There would be two broad spending categories, one for mandatory spending among the choices provided and the other category of discretionary spending.

Deb, I also sent a note to the British neuroscientist, Karl Friston:
>>>> Karl, I've lost track but at some point you mentioned you wish you had taken better care of your teeth over the years. Be not concerned about your teeth and any dental problems you might have. I have it on the ubiquitous authority rooted in the theologies of the evangelicals, Edward Bernays and the Rev. Thomas Bayes, that modern humans have well conquered the problems associated with human teeth.
I'm not currently aware how it is there with the education of the people there in the King's England and the high society where you are. But as I turned on the TV this Sunday morning, the first thing I witnessed was a dentist telling us how fantastic dental implants are! He's even partnered up with his local TV station to help get the word out. Indeed, folks so educated might just want to have all their teeth removed and replaced with dental implants.
We here in the former colonies have come to have an economy based ever increasingly on getting the word out about products and services. Indeed, it's becoming a mystery why children even bother going to school. There's so much to learn even by means of the old technologies of TV, radio, and mail delivery. Now, with the arrival of the internet, and especially A.I., the ubiquity of marketing surely supercedes all other avenues of truth. Amen?
Surely Curt and his fellow abstract mathematicians of the unreal, non-physical world and partners at The Economist should be able to verify how great modern dentistry is.
Meanwhile, and more seriously, may it be that medical "science" doesn't conquer you and yours with its Bayesian statistical analysis data demanding religion requiring ever more data in search of updated beliefs requiring ever more data (and pharmaceutical fine print).

Perhaps Dr. Peterson is a communist. What do you think? Children, shall we have taxpayers send him and his descendants ever more streets, roads, and highways? Amen? That way they will be able to go somewhere else rather than where they are so as not to relate to but rather get away from their neighbors. Amen?
More interesting than Peterson theology is, in my view, the abstract mathematics of the 88 year old physicist, Julian Barbour, at Curt Jaimungal's "Theories of Everything" 😊 podcast:
https://youtu.be/q-bImnQ9cmw?is=8DtANfc2t2y-FNPu
🤔. Dr. Barbour, while a bit hard to follow, seems to make sense. But hey Curt and Julian, keep it real. Sure geometries of everything seem to make more sense than the linearity (or multiple linearities) of Schrodinger's equation. But even when enclosed in Markov blankets, the mathematics is still abstract. Surely, at some point the maths need to do touchdowns with reality. ??
Hey Deb, what do you think? Do you prefer 2 + 2 = 4 or would you prefer to have 2 somethings plus 2 more somethings for a total of 4 somethings?

Yeah! Long live the King and his more evolved economy of today! Testimony to this treasonous statement is the marvelous presentation at Carlos Explains with Karl Friston of England; April 26, 2023. (Link below.)
Here in the former Canadian and American colonies we've devolved rather than evolved. We've devolved into an undemocratic system of autocrats, propagandists, crooks, and the proverbial money changers of antiquity and the economics of Edward Bernays. Surely they all should be kicked out of the temples which are these lands of we-the-people.
Just this morning, as I attempted to follow Professor Friston's more recent lecture of August 16, 2024 at Curt Jaimungal's podcast, I was continually interrupted by mind numbing, irrelevant sales and marketing with ads and promotions that have often been endlessly repeated over the weeks, months, years, and even decades. I don't want any. I don't need any. Find a more intelligent and unbiased means of informing folks of your wares. How is that rational? How is that "capitalism"? How is that common sense?
Well done Carlos! May it be that allocations from viewers received USB funds into their category requiring mandatory spending on approved educational content of their personal choice --- may such funding be in your future!
And, may it be that medical "science" where you are doesn't conquer you and yours with its Bayesian statistical analysis data demanding religion requiring ever more data in search of updated beliefs requiring ever more data (and pharmaceutical fine print). How is it where you are?

Attention would-be Here and There Healthy Lifestyle and Sipos Website Creation Groups:
This morning I came in at 193.6 lbs.
My current bp is 134/68 - 55
Sure that weight is above my supposed B.M.I. ideal of below 25 which would be 155 lbs. But I doubt I was ever at that level, at least since kindergarten when I'd come home to a big plate of mom's chicken salad. If anyone is in Africa, ask the elephants what they think and report back.
As for bp, there is some expert thought that it should naturally increase with age.
More importantly, I am now down to 39" at the waist. It's the reduction in visceral fat that makes an amazing difference in terms of energy levels. In any case, I have but 5.6 lbs to go until Christmas, i.e., the weight I was at in high school which, strangely, has remained in memory all these years.

All of the world religions, including aetheism, have at least one thing in common. They are all really great at doing, and teaching others to do, today and tomorrow what they already did yesterday. Chuck Darwin was certainly wrong regarding Natural History. But he was certainly right when it comes to the "habits of man."

A fundamental error of Chuck Darwin's hypothesis was his assumption of a single progenitor of all life. Clearly that's not a parsimonious hypothesis. The more parsimonious natural assumption is, as Carl Sagan stated, the origins of life was easy. Clearly, life would have begun universally over the entire planet in a short period of time.
For a continuation of the story, see Lynn Margulis, Carl Sagan's wife, their son Dorian Sagan, and the relevancy of symbiosis.
Further refutation of Darwin and his disciples' theories over the generations since Darwin have been made clear by the physiologist, Denis Noble. The gene centric view of Richard Dawkins' and others regarding natural history has been well overshadowed by Noble:
"Noble compares DNA to a database or a piano rather than a computer program or blueprint. It contains data and templates for making proteins, but the "code" determining when and how these are used lies outside the genome—in the cell's membrane, organelles, and systemic functions." ------ https://youtu.be/iNhF8R1qQ0c?si=MtR_DZ6CWrkDubVH
For further research and more speculative ideas regarding origins of liveses (plural), one needs to study quantum physics and quantum realities. Beyond that, and even more speculative, see the work of Rupert Sheldrake and his hypothesis of morphogenic fields:
"Genes are not the blueprint for life." ---
https://youtu.be/iNhF8R1qQ0c?si=KtiI8GquYrjCk6fN
Rupert Sheldrake also offers the hope of putting an end to the idiotic, and expensive, religious warfare that's been a distraction to scientific investigation since Darwin. For one, consider:
