  • Would You Consider The United States The Least Boring Country To Live In?

    I find it the most shallow. That’s for sure. I much prefer eastern europe.

  • Thought: Constant Contingent Relations “All The Way Down”

    THOUGHT: CONSTANT CONTINGENT RELATIONS “ALL THE WAY DOWN” All human thought consists of the physical production of constant yet contingent relations. That is all neurons can store: constant yet contingent relations. Relations between stimuli. Those relations begin with stimuli and through sequential layers, accumulate in increasingly combinatory relations, and through iterations, in real time, create a ‘persistence of vision’ (a model or models) that we experience as the culmination of continuous stimulation of our senses, and the admixture of those senses with upward associations, and downward models. When we say consciousness, we refer to the difference between our ability to judge changes in state (a few times a second) with the iterations of stimuli, memory, and synthesis into models. Neurons can fire two hundred times a second. It takes about one hundred ms to cause your body to physically act (depending upon the distance). It takes about about a half a second to react to a scare. It takes approximately one to three seconds of continuous stimulation to construct a new model (during surprise, or walking into a new room). And the persistence of vision effect (on memory) has a half life of something on the order of half a second. Although variation in short term memory is one of the abilities that vastly differentiates us. When someone uses the term logical they mean (whether they understand it or not, that the network of constant relations between the universe, the stimuli, their neural memory (relations), memory (categories) and models (networks of categories), remains consistent (internally), correspondent (externally), and coherent (free of conflict or contradiction).

  • Do Americans Tend To Trust Big Business More Or Less Than Their Government?

    I think the data says that:

    1. by and large we trust the military most.
    2. by and large we trust one another.
    3. by and large we trust big business less.
    4. by and large we trust the supreme court less.
    5. by and large we trust the media less.
    6. by and large we trust the government a lot less.

  • Russia Has 75 Trillion Worth Of Natural Resources. How Does This Affect Its Economy And The World?

    Please research the economic term “Resource Curse”.

    This excerpt from Ivestopedia.

    What is a ‘Resource Curse’

    Countries with an abundance of non-renewable resources tend toward stagnant growth or even economic contraction. This is because easy and profitable resources pull talent and capital, and prevent the development of a diverse, complex, innovative, and adaptive economy.

    The country then becomes dependent upon the price of commodities, and GDP (Gross Domestic Product) becomes volitaile because of the volatile price of commodities. (This is how the world is ‘punishing’ Russia for invasion of Ukraine – over-production of petroleum products upon which the entire country depends. So resource economies are ‘vulnerable’ not strong.)

    Worse, resources are attractive for government corruption (Again, russia and ukraine are exceptional examples. Russian resources, and Ukrainian farm land. )

    This is a problem in the USA, and in Canada, and in Australia, where all three countries had an abundance of territory that they are selling off to immigrants and creating a consumer economy rather than competing as their predecessor england did, or as japan has done, using technology, institutions, and culture. Or as Switzerland and Belgium have done. If you want to be prosperous you want a small homogenous country with no chance but to compete. (Switzerland is perhaps the best run country in the world.)

    Cheers
