Law of bifrucation of identity

Any group that holds that its philosophy will bring peace once other forces are extinguished is susceptible to divide or fragment into separate identities that marshal the desires of its group, polarising and marching against that of another.
As an example -the division between Soviet Union and Communist China.

Aspirations of the middle class

What aspirations might they be?
To live inside the middle class? To have a cat, a car and a pool? After all to have aspirations for better cars, beautiful and larger houses and higher salaries is a limited and bounded dream.
Would that not form a shackle on the minds and livelihoods of its members?

To transcend its condition and join the owner's class? Does it have enough resolve and what is more is there a method. Is the middle class sufficiently developed to metacognise methods to path its own transcendence?

I think this class lock is both an enemy of the democracy.

The working class has much broader and wilder aspirations, they transcend the needs of the individual and show that there are also aspirations in groups and classes. Its wrong to say that the working class has no aspirations when they curry for the minimalist utopia.

Middle class under squeeze

it seems a sufficient cause for alarm as to the conjecture that democratic form takes over the world that there is a squeeze on the number of the middle class. And no wonder with cuts in higher education spending and grants and tuition support that have preceded it.
Perhaps if the unis are cornered to financialise and monetise their knowledge formative powers this bottle neck may be overcome.
If the middle class was to continue its expanse its more likely that there is also an expansion in the world democratic states.

Historioinformatician

someone who works as an analyst and measurer of historical, social, group psychological and economic events and data, combining history, technology and information sciences, employing statistical and numerical methods.

A space for God

Hawking misses again and his walk away from the Copernican Principle becomes still more distant.
When he spoke of the impossibility of the existence of a dog he presumed that a 3d universe was special for life. A 2d dog could not live hence no life in 2d world. I doubt that there is any reason for such special character for our universe.

Now in The Grand Theory there is another such fault where we appear in this universe because of the the coincidence of the metalaws for our universe. Again, out.

What designs the metalaws then. There is a never ending quest for God that may be proved rather than an absense.

Copernican principles shows how humans have not been placed at the conceptual center of the Universe - we inhabit some non-special place here and now. That place may well be for God in human conception.

Choreography all the time

i see humans might in the future dance for good health and physique as well as a way to communicate and add additional layers into our communication. Perhaps we might even philosophise while at it. Alas at the time of writing I could not even walk correctly.

Identity drive and identity lock

ones willingness to conform to the qualities and characteristics of an identity sometimes forms a lock. Identification of self as what one should not be even when it would be beneficial or necessary. Clammering teeth-and-gnaw onto this identity

Identity drive is a compulsion to approach an identity that one perhaps can never achieve. Striving at aims unachievable then comes to an end with no sense of reasonable tragedy.

Looking for a Meaning

Looking for a word for the process of producing the means and tools of thinking, creativity. Such tools could be tables, mechanisms, methods, computers, softwares.

Expressions of expansionism

Expansionism has a persistent spirit, it transcends nationality, form of government, suffrage. It subjugates and infiltrates a variety of polities and policies. It has language of its own. It expresses its symbology through a rhetoric descending on the vulnerable and the bountiful. There is some analogy to chemistry. A sequence of transformative syntheses.

Every expansionism ends. Often it fulfills a purpose of defending an entrenchment which outlasts the expansions and intrusions of other expansions. Entrenchment being a antonym and a begetter to expansion.

history of science

Some milestones in the history of reason have brought an ever increasing understanding of the world.

1. Religions: ban magic, divination
2. Greeks: classification, abstraction, analysis, logic
3. Greeks: the scientific method, inquiry, dialogue
   
4. Scholastics: experimentation
5. Hypothesis
   
6. University: peer review
   
7. Academy: post graduate research center
8. Definition
   
9. Metrics: use of mathematical methods in research,
10. Verification
    
11. Falsification: Demarcation of science
12. Statistical methods
    
13. Computation
14. Web technologies: Croudsourcing
15. Robotic lab assistants
    
16. Artificial intelligence -
    

Enchantment and Enlightenment

I was at once enlightened and enchanted by the miraculous opposition and connection between Enchantment and Enlightenment. One hides and shows a guise in a splendour of lumination to capture the beholder as spellbound the other illuminates the truth.

Programming literacy

The use of software engineering whether tinkering with instructions in macro scripts or creating N-tier software monoliths with model driven design has been increasing and avails itself to so many new applications for increasing efficiency of work and enjoyment of entertainment.

Two thousand years ago Christians began teaching people of all backgrounds how to read. That was free, it was liberating and literacy skills gave them opportunities to gain clerical jobs. The infiltrated the Empire. They had a very different worldview.

I find it a very interesting similarity with modern computer literacy and programming literacy in specific. Programming drives and makes available the teleological reasons in computing.

The difference is that a religious group came and introduced a new religion, and literacy of the slaves was a side effect. Whereas software engineering has no religious group attached to it. But i think that programmers do enjoy a deeper worldview peppered with insight and creative innovations.

Paradox of the drive

on one hand human libido engages the construction and amendment of reality through pursuits of mind, like arts, science, engineering and learning to master ever greater levels. This has a singular aim of surpassing some others in attracting a mate.

on the other hand the activity of searching and appearing and performing as correct choice takes effort by itself and is rewarded immediately.

Hence a paradox:one has to have something to score, but gaining that takes one off the course.

Smaller steps in changes - higher level of randomness

About ten years ago I looked at population functions
like x_n+1=r*c*x_n - r*c*x_n*x_n
i found that the smaller the changes the more likely the functions were to reach turbulance.
Recently trading figures show an exponential drop in the time taken for making a trade, so I have an explanation for the turmoil on the markets on the first decade.
It also explains its small cousin - FTSE going digital at the end of the eighties.
LSE goes over to Linux this year!

Semiosis of Slavonic expansion

The semiology of Russian literature may shine some light formed as scenes that coalesce and bulk out in the pattern of progressive absorption into the native countries.

The progress happens in stages of 10%, 25%, 50%, 80%. Each has it's own cultural signature. I conjecture that learning about this signature would also bring some insight to the political and historical nature and reflection in the mainland of Russia.

Contra liberalism vivat liberalism

Liberalism should be open to criticism and improvement via criticism. It is one of its virtues and it makes it impervious. Flexible and therefore long-lasting.

I had some points against Mises when I read his book Liberalism

I am sorry but this is one of such posts that may get finished later...

Liminal and subliminal

Liminal experience of being at the threshold of a new discovery is the moment just before the insight is released. Insight formation and increasing the potential and readiness for insight seem to be unexplored concepts for psychology. Additionally humans are blocked from true creative potential by and large in the population. Cognitive blindness and habit seeking behaviour being the causes.

Mediated and immediate belief

Human capacity to belief is first experienced in oneself and one's belief itself is perhaps the primary belief. Along there is belief in self. Belief in entities other than human, of planes and spaces beyond what we see is secondary. Yet it is this primary belief that tends towards transcendence and is needed on the path to go beyond. Therefore it is not egocentric, this quality pertaining to belief.

Nothingness and meaning

i have struggled briefly to see what is the meaning of things in life if they all come to pass.
i have come to two answers first is culture. Yes, i know pieces of culture also disappear , but they connect to something beyond their thingness.
Secondly it is mystery, That is what i have to resort if I do not know what the answer is.
Perhaps it is possible to jump out of the box and see that this enlightens that meaning does not orient to permanent things or succession of transient objects or their relationships.

Morality as emotion management

It is possible to look at morality as a means by which humans can apply their experience
to controlling emotional reactions and social situations. I think there is also an element of game.
There are rules for having fun. There are other games that break moral predicates for the aim of fun.

History of politics is coloured by the events formed by the
application of political technologies (economic mechanisms for
example) to the society and as such belongs to World Three of evolving
and "living" concepts. Therefore history has yet much to offer a
social being in research to compare sources for political events. As a
sidenote it seems inevitable that political technologies will be
opensourced.

As technologies are innovated so are politics that bring adaptations

to it and even draw inspiration to the semiology of politics.

Perspective and positioning

I had a collapse of the worldview into two simple concepts that reveal emptiness in the world as there seems nothing else and no other aim to be set for this world other than to create objects for the perspective to achieve a spectacle and to position the objects to improve the signification.
Aeverything it seemed to me was reducible to being either something that could be moved or sequenced differently and placed in the spectacle or something that is created from other things in the perspective.
Therefore a loneliness or sense of lack for set aim seems to settle in ones soul.

I had this insight when I looked at a wonderful display of morning clouds one summer morning as the day began. It took hours of looking at this spectacle.

There seems nothing else, but on further look into this I can see that one could also think about how positioning is achieved or performed.
