Happy Monday! in three parts

It's been a while since I posted. I've been busy with other projects. There are three videos in this series covering what is going on now and what to do about it.

1. Global warming: Still waiting for a good article on how we keep having the worst summer ever (since before the last glaciation). The temperatures then were great for dinosaurs (now birds), but not so good for humans - although humans follow the shoreline. It moves and we move with it. The impact on infrastructure is a detail (and most of our current infrastructure needs to be scrapped anyway). I am still working on climate change paper - the one proposing tethered electric cars, molten salt reactors and how to get there socially/economically.

2. SpaceX. Starship was scrubbed last night, look for a new launch window. SpaceX goes incrementally with only the visions of Elon to guide it forward. As a believer in both Spinoza and Jesus, I don't care about the loss of human thought - it is pan galactic and in the next life, we will keep it going. Getting to the Moon is still interesting and adding SRBs to the second stage of Falcon Heavy can get us to there - with a landing system aft of the main fuel tanks of the second stage inserted to get to and from the Moon - with that rocket coming back to Earth with fuel for near earth orbit operation - because that is how gravity wells work. The question is how to get SpaceX and the rest of the community to consider the option. Goddard?

3. A Russian Empire. Ukraine should be the seat of the Rus, not Muscovy. Nothing good ever came out of Moscow. Ukraine was always the brain trust of the Soviet Union. Now that they are destroying Russian infrastructure, they are the strongest part and should be the HQ. The Putin system, especially internal security, needs to fall and Russian Asia (and far north America) needs to determine its own fate - as well as Turkey and Persia - so that ethnic federations can be formed (Kazakh, Turkic, Mongol/First Nations). Of course, for this to happen, the CCP must also fall. Details.

4. Israel. The Gazan genocide/famine/ethnic cleansing needs to stop. Those apologists who cannot see this and say it publicly have spent any credibility they have. Saying that Arabs are better off in Israel than the rest of the region is setting a low bar. Refugee camps for Gaza need to be in Israel proper. Let these people go home - as their Canaanite roots are as deeper than the Sephardim. That they are Muslim means that they adopted the religion of the conquerors - to the extent that people adopt a religion internally - most people don't, but play along because it is socially advantageous. No one followed second temple Judaism in the time of the Judges, or of David or until and after the exile, the conversion by Philip of Samaria, the adoption of Christianity by New Rome and the Muslim invasions. My point is, however, that any Zionist apologist who does not decry the current actions of the government is ignoring Torah and is not a very good Jew. To the extent that people can be bad - what they are allowing is bad (and I am someone who does not even believe in Hell).

4. Trump (and Vance). Speaking of bad people - Trump had skull reduction surgery. It is why he could not serve (bone spurs were a cover story) and why his hair is the way that it is (below the collar). Making fun of his hair, if one knows about his medical history, makes someone a bad person. Trump has is problems - but he is likely lead to Vance running in 2028 as a sitting president. If Vance can cope with current challenges, he will deserve a second term. If he cannot reverse things, and or someone runs against him, then the Democrats win.

5. The Democrats lack a vision, other than winning elections. Trump has thrown the neoliberals out of the GOP, but the Neos still fund both parties anyway because they can count votes. Since the Clintons, becoming electoral rather than having a vision (like the Greens), stops them from fixing anything but infrastructure - which after it is passed, everyone supports. The Greens have a vision, most of which I agree with, but only work as part of a coalition. Their view will never be an outright majority - as their (our) personality/cultural type is not widely held. Neither is the neoliberal/woke style of the Democrats (who usually lack vision). The infrastructure changes required to fight global warming (see point 1) won't be passed by Capitalists - it takes a more worker controlled (cooperative) economy to get there. That movement needs a leader - because leaders bring about policy change. It's actually easier to run for President than rise through the ranks (less expensive to get known - but you have to get known first). I will follow or be that person, but getting known is the issue - and right now, it ain't me, no it ain't me - I'm not a Senator' son, no....Some kind of change is inevitable. How we get there and the details are TBD.
