Blind Logics and Logistics of Modern Society


Blind Logics and Logistics of Modern Society


I believe the modern society lacks perspective in life.


Good example is America.


If you look at the presidential campaign, I am amazed why America cannot find better alternatives to Trump and Hillary.


Both are out of pace and reality and living in their own worlds of misconceptions.


There are only two parties and there is no place for a third or emergence of alternative views.


Both parties are bound up with hidden pressure groups and money.


They (pressure groups with ulterior motives) do the propaganda and the average citizen is lead down the garden path of no return.


I do not know where the FBI and NSA stand,  except for eavesdropping on every human being born or not  born yet.
England where the Mother of Democracy supposed to have originated is getting too much direction from bureaucrats from Brussels and British people had no alternative but to say firm NO.


But the three main parties do not know how to get out the mess and lead the world in modern politics.


At least United Kingdom have an alternative party but it is all bickering within the party to take the leadership or the mantle.

Nothing else!


Come to Ceylon, it is all about killing the democracy and the opponents and have only ONE Family rule or dynasty.


We are unable to get rid of the MONSTER called the elected (by devious means) president.


We have a vestige of alternative media and most of the others are run by drug and warlords.


Now with three women leading the world, we the men folk can say good bye to politics and start polishing the remaining spirits left in our drums or bottles.


I can assure you that these three woman will not leave the world in better footing than when they took over, but even worse.


I hope you got the picture.


The idea of this piece is not at all political but to show the logistics part of our governance, I used politics as a preamble.


The main theme here is how we destroy the creativity from cradle to teen to coffin.


1. Right to be born without prejudice is no more.


In this part of the world female infant (including China) is unwanted commodity and aborted by default.


In this country the infant had to be born before December 31 to beat the mad rush for entry into a National School.


All of them are born within a single house bordering a National school by one mile.


The statistics emerging from houses within a mile radius is staggering.


The highest population density by birth in the entire world!


2. Once born these kids have no right or choice.

They have to get the highest grade in the year five examination.


The right to free education of the choice of the child is negated at the labour room.


Child is sent to preschool too early to learn a foreign language before he/she could become verse with the mother tongue.


Do not get me wrong here, second and perhaps third language are vital for moving upwards in the ladder of education, in this country and elsewhere in the modern world.



3. By proper education one move up the ladder fast and education is the only way forward.


It is a myth as far as this country is concerned.

In our parliament the richest ones have not gone to even the fifth standard.


There school is local mafiosi and truancy is the gateway froward.



4. If they fail in the normal mode of schooling, they go to the private tuition.


It a booming industry for pseudo-educationalists.



5. Let me cut short, some of them by shear chance get to the university.


My estimate by that time they have lost all their creativity but loaded with outdated (usually 30 years) book knowledge.



The bottom line is that the parents, teachers (most are not trained in education psychology) and specially the religious teachers of all faiths (they are not taught religion is a blind faith, opium that hinder creativity and advancement in scientific knowledge) put all sort of rigid dogmas in their minds from cradle to teen to coffin.


By the time they are teens we have created JVP activists, LTTE activists and currently religious activists including ISIS and BBS.



I often have two very simple question for any inquiring mind.


1. What have you gain from your religion (except extremism)?


If one say that I became a good (not right) person.


2. Do you really need a religion to become a good or bad person?


They are flabbergasted and do not ponder a philosophical or scientific question beyond that point.


Neither Karl Marx nor Einstein got any inspiration from previous dogmas (religion included) but their contribution to society and to the thinking man are enormous.

Use Linux, Do not waste time testing them!


Use Linux, Do not waste time testing them!


Below is a comment I copied from Distrowatch Site.

I was like him and tested over 300 Linux Distributions in my spare time.

Then I realized less than 1 percent of computer users use Linux and in Sri-Lanka only 32 users (at that time).

I decided to open a blog spot (Google) called Linux 100 and wrote a comment after each and every testing.

I continued use many distributions in a network of 10 computers and dismantled all but two to cut down on my electricity bill.

Now I use the light weight Peppermint (derivative of Ubuntu and Debian).

Debian is my Gold Standard.

Slackware is my old friend.

My advice for a newbie is to try test Live Sessions and decide two distributions.

One for daily use the other for testing.

Please do not waste time testing BUT use Linux as a workhorse.

It is FREE but pay a some gratitude to the developers.


My advice for the guy below is to have a blog post for venting anger and a repository for his own evolving thinking about Linux.


110Re: all the distros I ever ran and whether I liked it or not. (by Unny likes corn on 2016-07-25 20:39:14 GMT from North America)
 
1. First I ran Mandrake 10 or something but didn't like it. I had Windows XP too and I didn't like it.
2. Then I ran suse 9.1 pro and liked it. (I think I ran it but I can't remember for sure, but if I did I'm sure I would have liked it)
3. Then I ran suse 9.2 and liked it.
4. Then I ran suse 9.3 and liked it.
5. Then I ran Debian 3.0 and didn't like it. Later I would realize I should have liked it.
6. Then I ran Fedora 4 and didn't like it.
7. Then I ran FreeBSD 6.1 and liked it.
8. Then I ran Slackware at the same time as FreeBSD and liked it. I was also running Suse 10.0 at this time and I liked it. That was the only time I liked 3 different operating systems on my computer at the same time.
9. Then I only ran opensuse 10.1 and I didn't like it.
10. Then I panicked and ran Ubuntu 6.06 and thought I didn't like it. I later realized that I was being protective of my favorite suse 10.0. I was just jealous that it worked faster.
11. Then I ran Kubuntu and I didn't like it.
12. Then I ran Vector and I liked it.
13. Then I ran Yoper and didn't like it.
14. Then I ran Solaris and didn't like it.
15. Then I ran dynebolic and didn't like it.
16. Then I ran Zenwalk and I liked it.
17. Then I ran Pardus and didn't like it.
18. Then I ran Fox Desktop and didn't like it.
19. Then I ran open suse 10.2 and liked it.
20. Then I ran Ubuntu 7.04 and I liked it now.
21. Then I ran Debian and liked it this time. But now I was tired of configuring my computer.
22. Then I ran Ubuntu 7.04 and liked it again.
23. Then I ran opensuse 10.3 and liked it. But Firefox opened 0.4 seconds slower than Ubuntu so I didn't like it as much.
24. Then I remembered Firefox didn't open as fast on all my suse installations so I retroactively didn't like them as much. Except for suse 9.3 which I still liked.
25. Then I remembered I ran PCLinuxOs between 19 and 20 and I liked it a little but I was still protecting opensuse in my mind.
26. Then I remembered I ran Damn Small, Puppy, Frugalware, Xandros, SymphonyOS, and some other distros and some I liked and some I didn't like, but I mostly didn't like them.
27. Then I realized I was spending way too much time on the computer so I didn't like Linux anymore.
28. Then I installed windows xp on a spare partition and I kind of liked it again.
29. Then I contracted a virus on widows xp the next day and didn't like it anymore either.
30. Then I realized I tried to run plan 9 somewhere in the teens, and thought I would have liked it except I could get it to run.
31. Then I realized I had wondered occasionally about running Gentoo but was glad I didn't because of some off-the-wall humour site that poked fun at Gentoo users because they thought they were the coolest.
32. Then I realized that at one time or another I had thought about installing Netbsd, openbsd, dragonfly bsd, centos, sidux and a bunch of other distros and retroactively hated myself for spending way too much time thinking about linux and bsd's.
33. Then I thought about getting rid of my computer.
34. Then I decided to just run Ubuntu because I liked it.
35. Then I stopped thinking about linux so much and started living more day to day.
36. Then I realized that I didn't want to be a geek anymore.
37. I didn't like the name Iceweasel so that's why I liked Ubuntu better than Debian. But I like Debian's logo better. A decision had to be made.
38. Now I like linux again.
39. I like traffic lights.
40. But only when they're green.

Dear Karl Marx, long live your sayings

 I have not read Karl (politics was a self ingested poison for me).

I have reproduced (only a part) one of my contemporaries writing here.

I agree religion (politics in Sri-Lanka) opium for ordinary people!

Dear Karl Marx

Your trenchant descriptions of capitalist accumulation and your critical penetration into its practice were based on and ignited by your original and radical theses. I hope you have not forgotten them because we haven't. Let me remind you the most poignant and accredited few.

1. Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand. 

2. The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.

3. The premises from which we begin are not arbitrary ones,. They are the real individuals, their activity and the material conditions under which they live, both those which they find already existing and those produced by their activity.

4. The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it.

5. It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness.

6. Religion is the opium of people.

All your statements quoted here are undoubtedly original and very thought provoking but I wish to end this letter with an observation you made when you were a just 17 year old youth.

'' If a person works only for himself, and ignores this great goal assigned to him, "he can perhaps be a famous scholar, a great wise man, a distinguished poet– but never a complete, genuinely great man." ‘(Reflections of a Youth on the Choice of an Occupation).

You are being offered with felicitations like these because you lived your life until your death in 1883 according to the statement you made at the age of seventeen, which had a big impact on my life too.

Last Puzzle is the Life Puzzle


Last Puzzle is the Life Puzzle


I am intrigued by how life evolved on our planet.

I won't exclude the fact that life would have traveled from outer space in a tiny meteorite.

Leave that argument aside for the time being.


How to approach the problem?


Top down approach?


Bottom up approach?


Either way I am going to get bogged down somewhere around one (1) billion years into the past.


The premises are many.



1. Origin of cellular life is incredible.

Almost impossible in a hostile environment.



2. It happened very very slowly.



3. In its progress toward self perpetuation, there were many obstructions including bombardment of meteorites.



4. It went through five mass extinctions.

Currently it is well into its sixth extinction.



5. There could have been half life half chemical scenario.


How the interaction went on we do not know.



6. Cellular life is so labile it does not leave tell tale stories or leave behind markers in stromatolites.



7. Earth is a living planet and it does not have its oldest rocks available for study.


Its oldest rock is only two and a half billion years old.

Earth life of four and a half billion is estimated from meteorites.


There is two billion years of missing history which we have to surmise.



8. In addition there were catastrophes.



9. I am comfortable with the last 500 million years of its evolution of that the last 3 to 5 million is matter of fact biology being unraveled.



10. How could I dissect the first 500 hundred of the last billion years.



11. In addition there are many other questions.



WHEN?


WHERE?


HOW?

Life originated?



12. What was the smallest living particle?


We seem to assume that we know a lot.


On the contrary we know very little.


We are stuck with the hereditary and survival of the fittest scenario that would suit only the last 5 million years, assuming mitochonridal mutations is rare.


In fact, major mitochondrial mutations are very very rare.

It is our energy store.

If its goes haywire life cannot exist in the current oxygen rich planet with cellular life.


This preamble is for further dissection by my friends far and near.

Twenty or more alien hypotheses

Twenty or more alien hypotheses
      This is posted with an expectation of somebody might get some real inspiration to produce a FILM.

      The film should make fiction looks real and a scientific fact only emerging.

      It should hit the audience by surprise and narrow the hypotheses to three or four.

      1. Extraterrestrial life is rare or non-existent
      Unlikely.

      2. No other intelligent species have arisen
      Most unlikely

      3. Intelligent alien species lack advanced technology
      Unlikely

      4. It is the nature of intelligent life to destroy itself
      Very likely given time and space

      5. It is the nature of intelligent life to destroy others
      Real scenario

      6. Periodic extinction by natural events
      Enough evidence in our planet.
      It takes 4 to 5 five billion yeas for life as cells to emerge from stellar remnants.

      7. Inflation hypothesis and the youngness argument
      No comments

      8. Intelligent civilizations are too far apart in space or time
      It is a real hindrance.

      9. It is too expensive to spread physically throughout the galaxy
      Not really, if a civilization is threatened at least a significant minority will consider colonizing elsewhere hospitable.

      10. Human beings have not existed long enough
      That is a fact.

      11. Humans are not listening properly
      More than likely

      12. Civilizations broadcast detectable radio signals only for a brief period of time
      It could be a deciding factor.

      13. They tend to isolate themselves
      Real paranoia

      14. They are too alien to interact with others

      15. Everyone is listening, no one is transmitting

      16. Earth is deliberately not contacted

      17. Earth is purposely isolated (planetarium hypothesis)

      18. It is dangerous to communicate

      19. They are here undetected

      20. They are here unacknowledged

The Lifespan of Advanced Civilizations

The Lifespan of Advanced Civilizations
 
The Premise is that due to blind faith (ISIS is a case in point) or due to greed or insanity (North Korea is a case in point) new civilizations in their forward march destroy themselves in midterm before they are fully evolved or civilized.

We are now in this current threshold of self destruction.

My alien theory (I strongly believe they visited us in 1947, to investigate, two years after the Atomic Bomb Explosion) that they visited us but left convinced that we were not mature enough to interact with them.

Additionally Area 51 was not evolved to its present level of sophistication, then.

It was built after the possible crash of alien spaceship with more advanced technology.

I believe the alien spaceship was brought down by hostile fire.


By Nigel Calder and John Newell


The Lifespan of Advanced Civilizations

 

 A very short lifespan for advanced civilizations may be a realistic probability because as our own case shows, technology mushrooms very rapidly and is accompanied by many dangerous effects such as;

1. Overpopulation

2. Depletion of natural resources

3. Pollution and worse of all

4. Rapid escalation of nuclear stockpiles which can easily reach the level where they are capable of wiping out the whole population of a planet.

By the same token, if we were to find significant number of other advanced civilizations in our galaxy it would mean that some at least had been able to overcome the dangers that are now looming over our own civilizations. 

If they have reached this advanced stage, it would mean that they have been able discard all of their animistic (BARBARISM) attributes such as materialism, selfishness, territoriality, dominance over others and killing instincts which in a technological civilizations are likely to lead to self destruction.

They would have been able to to mature into higher levels of cosmic intelligence characterized by spirituality, altruism, respect of others, adherence to peace and love for each other.

Joining such a galactic society would indeed be a colossal step forward in the intellectual and ethical evolution of our civilization. 
This might also be the reason why we have not yet heard from any such advanced civilizations as may exist. 
 
There must be a galactic rule that says that before a new civilization is invited to join the galactic society it must show that it is able to overcome the major crisis that probably befall all new technological civilizations.

Since we are still in the midst of this evolutionary problem, there may be advanced civilizations waiting to see how we do before inviting us to join the galactic society of advanced civilizations.

මහින්දගේ පාලනය යටතේ ඇමතිකම් දරමින් යෙහෙන් වැජඹුණු, එසේම, ජනතා ඡන්දයෙන් පරාජිත ඇතැම් දේශපාලඥයන් මේ ආණ්ඩුව යටතේද අමාත්‍ය ධූර හා තවත් වරදාන භුක්ති විඳිමින් සිටින තත්ත්වයක් ඉතාම ලෙහෙසියෙන් නිර්මාණය විය.
වෙන එකක් තබා, පැවැති දූෂිත රෙජීමය පරාජය කර වත්මන් ආණ්ඩුව බලයට ගෙන ඒමට විවිධ තර්ජන, පහර දීම්, මර්ධනය කිරීම සහ අනෙකුත් අභියෝග භාර ගෙන ක්‍රියා කළ සමාජ ක්‍රියාධරයන් වෙනුවෙන් මෛත්‍රී-රනිල් ආණ්ඩුව කළ ගුණ සැලකුවේ මහින්ද රෙජීමය වෙනුවෙන් ඔවුනට පහර දීමට පෙරට ආ මැරයන් මැති ඇමති තනතුරුවලට පත් කොට දේශපාලනික වරප්‍රසාද ලබා දීමෙනි. ඉතාම සරලව කියනවා නම්, මහින්ද රෙජීමයේ දූෂිතභාවය ගැන විවිධ සුරංගනා කතා කියමින් ජනාධිපතිවරණයට ඉදිරිපත් වූ වත්මන් ආණ්ඩුවේ සාමාජිකයන් නැවත එවැනි ඒකාධිපති පාලනයකට මේ රට ගෙන යාම වළක්වනු පිණිස ‘යහපාලන’ ආණ්ඩුවක් වෙනුවෙන් අප කැප වී කටයුතු කළ අයට පවා ‘කොකා පෙන්වීමට’ අමතක කළේ නැත. එක අතකින් එය හොඳය. සාමාන්‍යයෙන් ඡන්දයට කලින් දූෂණ විරෝධීභාවය හා ප්‍රජාතන්ත්‍රකාමීත්වය මවා පෙන්වා බලයට පත් වූ පසුව හුදෙක්ම තම පැවැත්ම වෙනුවෙන් බයිලා ගහන්නට පටන් ගැනීම යනු අපේ දේශපාලන ‘සාරධර්ම’ පද්ධතියේ අනිවාර්ය අංගයකි. ඒ අතින්, වත්මන් ආණ්ඩුවද න්‍යාය විරෝධී නොවී සිටීමට සමත් වී තිබේ!

මේ අතරම, තවත් සමහර චූදිතයන් කිසි දා අත්අඩංගුවට නොගන්නා බවට ‘ඉහළින්’ සැනසුම් වදන් නිකුත් වී ඇති බවද පසුගිය කාලයේ වාර්තා විය. මේවා බරපතලෙට ගත යුතු සිදුවීම් නොවේද? 

මේවා ජනවාරි 08 අප විසින් ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කරන ලද මහින්ද රෙජීමයේ ලක්ෂණද? 

යහපාලනයේ ලක්ෂණද?

History and Prehistory of Lanka


History and Prehistory of Lanka

I am more interested in prehistory since we now possess tools to go beyond 10,000 years of history.


Both genetic and radioactive tools are available.


What we are lacking is materials or specimens of significance.


Let me dish out the written history to begin with.


It dates back to only about 2500 years or so.


Even the Bible writing extends the mankind's 
existence to 7200 years or so.


Both Bible and Koran are not old enough to study human existence in scientific sense.


Both were anti-scientific and religious dogmas thought to be sacrosanct.


They are no longer not sacrosanct in scientific sense.


Let me come Lanka and forget the rest of the world.


Our Buddhist monks (Mahanama to begin with) cleverly erased the prehistory of Lanka and introduced a mythical history of 5000 years to Lanka.


How the name Lanka came I do not know but I feel it means an island.


I have devised a hypothesis that Lanka was a much bigger island which went under water due to at least three or four meteoritic hits that devastated mother earth including the Jurassic extinction story.


This country has at least series of three (fourth is under water due to the effect of sea erosion) uplifts according to Adam's and Wardia.


If we had prehistoric man evolving in this massive land the meteorites send them to oblivion except a traces in the north part of the island left after the series of meteorites hits.


Moon landing has recovered at least evidence dating back to 4.6 and 1.6 million light years (evidence). 


Moon does not have an atmosphere to destroy evidence but earth atmosphere destroys all the cosmic evidence of meteorites.


We have to collect traces from the space which the current space scientists are exploring.


Going back to Lanka for the last 5000 years this country was known for its immense population of elephants.


Indian elephants were driven to almost extinction to by Roman War efforts.


They probably migrated here from India and survived since local indigenous population were not hostile to them.


They were mainly in the hill country and the British drove them to the dry land due to hunting and expansion of the  tea and coffee plantations.
There were at least three prehistoric humans dating back to 125000 years in and around this island.


According to my hypothesis they also migrated from Indian subcontinent or Africa.


Any existing ones were destroyed by the last meteorite hit, 65 million year ago ( Jurassic extinction).


So the last 5000 years visitors came here to capture elephants.


Mind you all my theories end up with elephants and their plight to current day.


In fact, I dig into prehistory because of my interest in elephants not because I want to become a prehistoric historian.


It was a marathon effort since finding data was extremely difficult.


So Vijaya migration was also one of those elephant expedition went expeditiously wrong for both elephants and indigenous traces of man who inhabited Lanka.


Our Buddhist monks erased our prehistory to ashes and build “Alu Lenas all over Lanka.


For 5000 years this country was plundered of natural history and a modern history dating back to 2500 years was transplanted.


My grouse with Paranavithana and Deraniygala is that they never were true archaeologists (they narrowed their sphere of activity to 2500 years, the legacy left behind by Buddhist monks).


So instead of rewriting our Mahayana or Ramayana history there is LOT left to be explored in this country in scientific sense.


There are lot of gaping holes.


They exist of British from this country was a true scientific loss since their traditions were not followed after our political independence.


Our politicians including dead and moribund leftists were rank stupid and ignited an ethnic war still simmering under the ashes which our history is famous far.


They think by turning things to ashes the truth can be kept hidden for ever.


There is always microscopic, forensic and genetic evidence left behind to explore.

Why I propose Alternative Physics


Why I propose Alternative Physics


Our brain is limited by its “Three Dimensional understanding of the Matter.

It is hard wired into our brain and limits our thinking.

This does not mean we cannot go beyond and explore the universe in multi-dimensions above and over the three dimensions.


In “string theory of mathematics” there supposed to be more than 11 dimensions.


That is the only way to understand the universe and beyond.


The true freedom of thinking would emerge only when we free ourselves of another concept in current physics.


Space (limited by three dimensions) and time (by our own imagination).


Unfortunately time is unidirectional only flows forwards.

We cannot go backwards unless we have older materials to examine, for example asteroids and meteorites.


So we got fixed at 4.6 billion light years (that is the limit of the speed of light) of the beginning of the earth (our solar system and universe) and failed to accept that the universe is much more and beyond.


We got frozen in time.


In that process we forget there is something called evolution in this world and beyond in the universe.


Then we come nearer to our Comfort Zone of life which is limited by mere 100 years.


Books, like Bible (only about 2270 and Koran (much later) which have no significance in our life and the whole universe.


Human evolution is probably less than 3 million years and more significantly for the last 50,000 years.


The modern humans have exterminated other humanoids (this happened in this very Lanka) which the archaeologists started discovering but American scientists who suppressed it in the name of Genesis and Christianity.


For Christianity and Muslim religions only contribution in the modern world is Bible War and current Social Media Wars.


The religion is void for humanity.


Race or skin color is void in the modern world.


We indeed are shaming humanity in the name of religion, race and territory, USA included.


What is needed is to free ourselves of three dimensional and unidirectional time of physics.


Current physics is limited by matter and life.


That is why vast 95% of the Dark Matter and Dark Force were not discovered by our ancient physicists.


I raise my hat to Eisenstein and Edwin Hubble who opened the door of three dimensions to more dimensions (unlimited by our imagination) within the last century.


Science has not dawned yet only atheists can carry the baton forward. 
Our modern scientists were restricted by Church and Islam.

With the dawn of New Science or New Physics all the dogmas would dissipate into thin air, (rather the universe beyond what we seem to know currently).

The number of possible states of the matter and dark matter is limited only by our ability to perceive them in real time and not the evolved time. 

The time is a concept that limits our imagination (and run riot especially to the past) and does not let us enjoy this moment of happiness (sunshine)!
