... After Spielberg, who will speak out next?

This 'One World Democracy' thing itself sounds like a sort of dictatorship on one hand, and outright communism on the other. There is very little that separates these thing in the human corruption phase space, and if their distributions become degenerate, there could be trouble. Do you have some sort of equation or theorem to deal with this? Just wondering. The Plan B thing. |

If you chose not to come no one is going to miss you. |

If you chose not to come no one is going to miss you. With China stem cell research, China help many humen of the whole world to live not only American, Dafur and others. We have to speak out that it was US that try to distroy the world include Olympic. http://www.stemcellschina.com/ We must say no to Spielberg. He will not welcome to be a patient of stem cell treatment in China because he said no to China by himself. Human right record in the US can be proved below. http://www.americanlynching.com/ |

If you chose not to come no one is going to miss you. If you let them use telescopic sights they won't miss him at all. That one used to really crack them up on the Long March. Here's another one...Trotsky went up to Stalin at a meeting of the Party and said: "Comrade Stalin, I have a bet with Mikoyan that you won't say more than two words about me to anyone here." Stalin turned to Lenin, and said: "Kill him now." Once again the Great Humorist-Helmsman had shown the matchless caliber of his wit in no uncertain terms. ;-) Pat |

There is very little that separates these thing in the human corruption phase space, and if their distributions become degenerate, there could be trouble. Do you have some sort of equation or theorem to deal with this? The logic is very simple. The system structure of a dictatorship almost guarantees a viscous cycle towards complete self destruction. Generally taking most of its people and that part of the world ...with it. I need only to point to the wars of the last century as clear evidence of this ...established fact. The system structure, in the ideal, of a democracy or free market system has the strong tendency for spontaneous order, vastly nested self correcting mechanisms, and a direction over time towards more stability and prosperity. One system structure is man-made, and gives us one horror after another and a very dark future. An adaptive structure as in democracy has a future equally as bright as dictatorships are dark. I also see the evils that can result at the hands of people. So we should place our faith is nature, and build societies that are evolving following the just and wise fundamental laws of the universe, instead of dying at the hands of a few self appointed sociopaths. I see China as the key for two reasons. It's immense size, power and rigid political system make it very brittle and fragile under certain circumstances. Just the kind of circumstances coming this August to Beijing. And as the CCP falls, so well most of the remaining dictatorships. Just wondering. The Plan B thing. There is only one plan. If it fails now it will succeed later. And that plan is simply to imagine what Utopia should be, and then constantly search for the path from our present reality to that ideal future. I say nature, as expressed through Darwinian evolution shows us the best possible process within with we should owe our existance to. You have to have faith in the properties of nature. For instance, one property is that change tends to follow a power law distribution of events. Which, like earthquakes, tends to have many minor changes combined with the rare 'big one'. These Olympics ...could be...a big one. Where the world suddenly evolves from man made to naturally evolving societies. Maybe the last chance for some time. Of course, we can never predict exactly what will happen in the immediate aftermath of an earthquake or a Great Wall Falling. We must have faith that sooner is always better than later with destructive viscous cycles. If we wish to benefit from the lessons of nature, we can't be afraid of letting it takes its course. s |

Generally taking most of its people and that part of the world ...with it. I need only to point to the wars of the last century as clear evidence of this ...established fact. Then you should have no problem quantifying this into equations, being the world renowned complexity theorist that you are. Equations please. The system structure, in the ideal, of a democracy or free market system has the strong tendency for spontaneous order, vastly nested self correcting mechanisms, and a direction over time towards more stability and prosperity. Again, equations only please. One system structure is man-made, and gives us one horror after another and a very dark future. So far so good. An adaptive structure as in democracy has a future equally as bright as dictatorships are dark. Well, I don't see any quantitative relationship, and you haven't assigned any values to any of your definitions as yet, quite the contrary, you haven't even defined anything yet in numeric terms. I also see the evils that can result at the hands of people. I'm following you there. So we should place our faith is nature, and build societies that are evolving following the just and wise fundamental laws of the universe, instead of dying at the hands of a few self appointed sociopaths. These laws are quantitative, but all you present are vagaries. I see China as the key for two reasons. It's immense size, power and rigid political system make it very brittle and fragile under certain circumstances. Just the kind of circumstances coming this August to Beijing. And as the CCP falls, so well most of the remaining dictatorships. But I have no idea what you are talking about since you haven't taken the time to define anything or assigned any values to your definitions. That is a fundamental prerequisite for any equations or theorems that follow. Just wondering. The Plan B thing. There is only one plan. Not good. But at least you've quantified it. If it fails now it will succeed later. And that plan is simply to imagine what Utopia should be, and then constantly search for the path from our present reality to that ideal future. I say nature, as expressed through Darwinian evolution shows us the best possible process within with we should owe our existance to. You have to have faith in the properties of nature.

We must have faith that sooner is always better than later with destructive viscous cycles. If we wish to benefit from the lessons of nature, we can't be afraid of letting it takes its course. You lost me there. I'll just wait for your equations, solve them myself, and then see where the solutions take me, whenever you get around to it. |

Generally taking most of its people and that part of the world ...with it. I need only to point to the wars of the last century as clear evidence of this ...established fact. The system structure, in the ideal, There - in that simple passing phrase "in the ideal" is where your entire argument (slim enough as it is) disappears up its own ass... And - besides - no comparison between the life span of democracy and authoritarianism/totalitarianism/empire can be useful, since democracy - as such - is so young, and dictatorship so old. If one looks at the world's democracies one sees not the ideal you so vaguely describe but a continuum that runs from systems you might well consider socialist to ones that I consider at least proto-fascist. That would be the U.S. And in fact nations that were considered democracies (with sometimes long histories of cultural and societal enlightenment) have fallen into fascism, and it didn't take all that much. Economic disaster for one. Germany - as one example. You might have heard of it? During the Great Depression, many nations either did fall or were near to falling into fascism, or communism. That would include the U.S. where only FDR's swift co-option of certain socialist goals saved this country from very likely becoming one of those communist places you so ineptly illustrate. You place far too much trust in a Disney version of democracy, and - in doing so - fail to be convincing in most of your arguments. In recent decades, the Constitution of the U.S. has been under almost continuous attack from the very government which is meant to secure it, and - frankly - it is looking a bit more ragged than just its age would account for. The result of the Olypmic broadcasts? A few sports stories at the water cooler, and (now and then) a little discussion about how pretty the fireworks were. Maybe a steroid scandal - which would entirely bury any small portion of your predicted "explosion of democratic zeal" under weeks and maybe months of ethical handwringing. You're deluded... dmh |
