If there have been solutions to
manmade problems
They mostly came through
Human desperation,hard work
and even by accident
In addition to a great deal of
sacrifice in good faith.

Speaking of "Why".....
If one were to learn to say "why"
As often as one could
In most of one's affairs in this world..
The world would be A far better place than
If one were to speak a million words
from a dictionary.

Quote of the day......
No more fatuous chimera has
ever infested the brain than that
you can control opinions by law or
direct belief by statute, and
no more pernicious sentiment
ever tormented the heart than
the barbarous desire to do so.
The field of inquiry should remain open, and
the right of debate must be regarded
as a sacred right.
-- William E. Borah(1865-1940)
U. S. Senator.

It is dangerous to be right
in matters on which
the established
authorities are wrong.
-- Voltaire.(1694-1778).
Quote of the day.....
If ever a time should come,
when vain and aspiring men shall possess
the highest seats in Government,
our country will stand in need of its
experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.
--- US Founding Father Samuel Adams.

Quote of the day.....
When any government, or
any church for that matter,
undertakes to say to its subjects,
This you may not read,
undertakes to say to its subjects,
This you may not read,
this you may not see,
this you are forbidden to know,
the end result is tyranny and oppression,
no matter how holy the motives.
Mighty little force is needed to control
this you are forbidden to know,
the end result is tyranny and oppression,
no matter how holy the motives.
Mighty little force is needed to control
a man whose mind has been hoodwinked;
contrariwise, no amount of force can
control a free man,
a man whose mind is free.
No, not the rack, not fission bombs,
a man whose mind is free.
No, not the rack, not fission bombs,
not anything --
you can't conquer a free man;
"the most you can do is kill him."
-- Robert A. Heinlein(1907-1988)

Analytic of Relativity of truth....
In a relativistic assumption,
when 99% presented as true or factual
and the rest 1% as lie or erroneous
The facts of which in A paradigm shift
show case the 99% as lie and
only 1% representing the truth.

Past and Future....
The more of the past......
We have to deal with
The more of......
The more of......
The future we forfeit.
Faith conundrum...
Truer faith has more in common with
the divine and humane among us
than with religion.
p.s- as an example one does only need to look at
Christ for such understanding.

A preposition in moral logic.....
When a supposition X is equal to A or B or C or D
and so on so forth,
Yet an assumption that X is not equal to X were to be held
Then X=X , in all probability
By the very supposition that
X is equal to A,B,C,D.

The being as "signified".....
A being in essence is just a "biological creature
like any other" and
all attributes that personify the being
either as assumed or believed to be true are
mere constructs of the being itself
in signifying the very nature of being
which otherwise is of least or no significance
in the way nature organizes and demonstrates itself.

A lower species...
If one has lived a life mostly justifying Evil
One has not had a true existential challenge
In one's life,
nor is one's life touched by humanity or divinity.

Emerson "Self-Reliance"
Who so would be a man must be a nonconformist
He who would gather immortal palms
must not be hindered by the name of goodness,
but must explore if it be goodness.
Nothing is at last sacred
but the integrity of your own mind.
-- Emerson
