(composed 7/13/2017 7:00-11:49 AM) (first posted 8/18/2017) (first edit 8/20/2017) INSIGHT: Although Objective Reality can’t be Directly Experienced, Some Objective Information can be Known. Social Systems have partial Objectivity. notes on my documents: Again, a ramble – a seemingly random walk through the mind of Larry/nuet. Please, join me on this walk, follow my path…

The “reality” of problems with human social systems is that they are arbitrarily defined within contexts assumed fixed. A proper resolution of a human social/societal difficulty may be best gained by shifting the context. However, when such difficulties are categorized as “problems in the material sciences” (where the context, the laws of physics, is never…

  Total solar eclipses exist because, at this time in human history, the sun and moon subtend the same arc in the sky – they both have the same apparent diameter – the moon can just cover the sun.  This is a configuration of very low probability – which all scientists (even Carl Sagan) insist…

Although this book shares with UPLIFT (Up2Met) longterm and significant goals, it is an example of what UPLIFT attempts to reveal has a major flaw – focus on one (or only a few) paradigms as THE “cause/solution”. The flaw in achieving big goals (ending many problems) with simple (small independent variables) solutions is that the…

I did it again. I started to reply to an email from Linda (7/22/17) about Spicer, lies and her being thankful that we have a free press. This activated nuet to compose a very long reply. Too long to send, and it needed editing, so it was saved, and forgotten. Now (8/4/17) I discovered my…

Just read the two pieces about  Gayle   McLaughlin , from the urls below; and her promotion letter to Tom. I applaud her for her innovative work, and wish I could imagine a route where a…

PREFACE ON BELIEF AND CONSPIRACY: I BELIEVE that the floor and ground won’t suddenly become quicksand and that the water from my faucet won’t immediately kill me. However, I don’t automatically believe that anything I read or hear is an accurate reporting of an “objective” event. Indeed, NO TEXT CAN BE FULLY TRUE, as their…

INTERLUDE I was just sitting down at my computer, to update my schedule and glance at my emails – before getting to household chores – when I was driven to devote 30 minutes composing what is presented below (in black). There was only minor editing, as each sentence emerged – not having been in consciousness…

Jason (& Michel), I appreciate your referencing me in the email dialog between yourself and Michel (on 7/1/17). Yes, one of my themes is the inadequacy of the human brain (evolved for tribal situations) to cope with the Magnitude/Scope/Complexity of 21st Century reality. Another relevant theme is the enormous cognitive diversity in the contemporary human…
