Re: Human/civilizational growth

In looking at this more I think really it boils down to the factors that shape human behavior. You can realistically view it with just about any perspective used to describe/explain human behavior. Although I, like most, prefer my superior perspective to others obviously flawed ones.

Re: 5-Oct-17 World View -- Russia considers taking on a huge financial burden - Venezuela

I would agree. Trump's international speeches are really strong and coherent. It is interesting to contrast those speeches with some he has made domestically and even his rhetoric on twitter. Obviously there are speech writers involved in some of these scenarios but I think it still illustrates that...

Re: 26-Sep-17 World View -- US adopts strategic response to North Korea's threats to shoot down US warplanes

I'm finding China's conditional support suspect. I really have had a hard time figuring out how much NK PRC are in coordination. It sounds like this conditional support is just another ploy for time (that we have seen time and time again). It shifts the initiative for NK to start the conflict (and t...

Human/civilizational growth

One thing I have been thinking about recently is the shape of the graph of the generational cycle. Obviously this graph would be that of the classic sin/cos (as all circles are). What I have been struggling to fully understand though is why it takes the shape of the cycle/circle/sin/cos. We see a si...

Bitcoin and clean energy

Two things I've been thinking about is the potential for clean energy and crypto currencies to see mass adoption in the coming years especially since the power structures are expected to change. Bitcoin or other crypto currencies: while it may seem a little out there I think there is potential for t...

Re: 6-Sep-17 World View -- North Korea and Russia continue to incite a new Korean War

John, you are right about Putin being factually incorrect but are missing the point. Putin realizes that what he is saying is factually inaccurate but he is saying it regardless because he wants to influence the narrative of events to suit their interests. He is taking small parcels of fact and tryi...

Relic/History Destruction

I know genocide goes hand and hand with crisis wars. I was wondering what the occurrence of instances where an outside group destroys relics and records of past history are with crisis wars. It seems these would go hand and hand. It seems like the winning side wouldn't be able to kill all of the mem...

Re: 5-Sep-17 World View -- America's UN ambassador Nikki Haley says North Korea is 'begging for war'

There will be war, but only because Trump needs a war to cover his crimes and his abject failure as a president. Recent Republican presidents are almost compelled to start new wars to mollify their racist base. Unfortunately, Trump does not have either Obama's integrity or his morality; like king B...
