Iconoclast

As I've said many times before, the problem with the financial personalities in the United States market and around the world, are, for the most part, that they think in terms of what is known as symptomatic logic. Symptomatic logic, as I explained before, is logic that is basically reactionary, and/or linear, and/or what is known as three-dimensional.

As a result, using logic that is in fact reactionary, does not look at the data, pertinent any given financial situation, other than the actual data that is present at that moment in the given situation. Hence the term three-dimensional, or linear logic. Unfortunately, this is a problem. Because what is definitely needed now, is anticipatory behavior, and/or anticipatory logic, which is multidimensional, and more pervasive. That form of logic is known as problematic logic.

This being said, what follows is that this news story is talking about how global warming is going to escalate, dramatically, the realized costs, that all governments and populations are going to take on, as a result of preparing for, and dealing with global warming. Again, these costs, which are now being presented, are being presented, from more of a problematic logical standpoint than a symptomatic logical standpoint. They are, because these are costs that are not normally seen when people look at the market, and the factors that are in fact driving the market at its current moment in time.

Again, with the foregoing being taken into consideration, the issue then comes to the forefront. Are the cultures of the world prepared to turn their backs on the issue of global warming in order to currently save a few dollars in their pockets? If the cultures of the world decide to save money now, the cost will be interpreted in terms of many more lives lost in the future.

I'm not going to agree with talking heads here. First of all, the level of degradation that has happened in the political environment in the American culture is almost beyond inexcusable. The level of black representation of the people of these United States is not getting in their government is not only inexcusable. It is not politically the nature of the Republic of these United States is dramatically changing.

That being said, people need to first understand that ever since Andrew Jackson created the electoral College, the United States at that time stop to being a democracy and became a republic. Which is basically a representative democracy. Andrew Jackson did this because he felt as he said to the Congress at the time, that the masses meaning people of the general population, were not intelligent enough to be able to make a decision pursuant to who should run the country without having some sort of intermediary agent involved, such that the choices of the mass population could then in fact be modified somewhat pursuant to a more accurate interpretation of the general population's collective voice.

That being said, over the generations, the level of representation of the people of these United States has in fact gotten, has been diminished more and more every year. The level of representation of the general population now have, in Congress, is far less than it was for decades ago. This is because the PAC groups, and other political interest groups, using tens of millions of dollars, attempt to gain a closer political proximity to the Congress of these United States, and the members of the Congress, as a result of those dollars that they spent with the Congress. While the Constitution does not allow all for access to be granted based on monies paid to the Congress pursuant to this particular aspect of contribution by PAC groups and other groups; the fact that these groups are able to gain a closer proximity to the Congress as a result of these monies paid, is not really indicative of a lack of representation of the general population have with Congress, but in addition, indicated how much less representative United States Congress is of the actual people of this country.

It is not hard to understand why Microsoft is having so much trouble in the marketplace.  The reason Microsoft is having so much trouble in the marketplace because Microsoft has refused to play fairly with other companies or with the consumer.  There is no reason for Microsoft to try to force a program, and/or operating system, on the general consumer that is 2 GB large.  To give you an example, I used Dragon NaturallySpeaking for my speech program.  The size of the executable file for Dragon NaturallySpeaking is approximately 1 GB.  But when you're actually using the program, the size of the actual running program is only 175 MB.  That being said, the program really doesn't take up very much room.  To give you a relational size quotient, IE 7, when running, is approximately 185 MB.  That being said, there is no reason for Microsoft to force us to use a program, and/or operating system, where just to load the program itself, is going to take 2 GB of memory, just to load the program, before you're even able to run anything.  That is bad programming.

For 40 years I've watched these programmers lie to the general public and lie to system managers and lie to the other people that they were doing business with about how they were going to get it right in doing their programs.  And for 40 years I've watched the systems in the world and business people in the world put up with these lies from these programmers where the programmer said that they were going to get it right and they never did.  Additionally, when computers first came into being, everyone was told that we would be able to go paperless.  And yet this is another lie that the programmers and the computer people have actually pushed on the business world.  Because computers did exactly the opposite of making it paperless. By using computers, we ended up with so much extra paper, and so much extra information, most of which we don't need or use, that we are now overburdened with so much paper we can't even get out of our own way.

Part of what's going on in business today is that companies like Microsoft are trying to push their will against the will of the consumer and to force their particular will upon the business world.  As far as I'm concerned, if Microsoft can't put up and shut up and reduce the size of Windows Vista, I will not use Windows Vista.  I am not going to use an operating system that is 2 GB large just to load the operating system before, you can even use it. And if they can't do any better with Windows 7, I'm not in use that product either.  Furthermore, I am tired of using IE 7, when IE 7 is nothing more than a revamped IE 4, which didn't work well then.  Microsoft is sitting there wondering why their stocks falling.  It's no surprise to me.  They can’t even sell their MS office.  And the reason they can't sell their MS office is because there are so many alternatives that are much less expensive and even ones that are free that work much better than MS office.  I tested MS office and Outlook for a period of three years.  Not once did Outlook ever worked well in the Microsoft environment without a number of crashes every single week.

Furthermore, their MS office is so top-heavy, as far as using system resources and system problems, but it makes it very cumbersome to use, very much of an overkill program.  Furthermore, Microsoft Works, has so many problems with Windows Vista, in both version 8.5, and 9, that I had over 250 crash reports from Microsoft works alone when I was using Windows Vista.

The number of products that Microsoft produces that have incompatibilities with their own architecture is not only legion, but it clearly shows that Microsoft is one of the sloppiest and one of the most disgustingly dishonest companies I've ever seen in the 40 years I've been installing software and computers.  Furthermore, I have worked for some of the largest companies in this country.  I've done work for doing the telephone.  I have done work for AT&T.  I have done work for her Beacon Hill.  I’ve done work for Datacom Corporation.  I've worked alongside of medical information Bureau in Boston. I work for some the largest oil companies in this country as well, as a contract analyst.

Democracy Now! | "Global Disruption" More Accurately Describes Climate Change, Not "Global Warming" - Leading Scientist John Holdren.

http://i1.democracynow.org/2008/7/3/global_disruption_more_accurately_describes_climate

With all due respect anyone who believes this scientist, where he says, "global warming" is really "global disruption", is probably is too stupid for anyone to really have a conversation with. The fact of the matter is we are looking at global warming, regardless of how this scientist is being pushed politically, and/or induced by various social groups to postulate what he is presenting in such a way as to play semantics with the entire issue.

The fact of the matter is, you can call what is happening, global disruption, or you can call it a walk in the park. But the reality is basically this. The climate is on the verge of total collapse. And whether this scientist, who I do not regard is very intelligent, wants to admit it or not, global warming and the total collapse of the earth ecosystem, will still happen. Besides, long before this scientist knew what he claims to have known, or knows, or even knew what the term of global warming was, I was at Fort Lewis College, in 1972, in Alexander Coe's philosophy class, in Durango Colorado, presenting this very issue about global warming being a real threat to humanity. It was scientists, and my peers, just like this gentleman, who found it so easy to laugh at me and call me a fool. Unfortunately, most of the people , and this scientist, who laughed at me then are NOT laughing NOW.

Further, people like this scientist, and others, won't be laughing in about another five years when more very dangerous things begin to happen, along the lines of what he calls global disruption, which is really what I have been saying for the last 40 years... and calling Global Warming.

As I said anyone who believes this gentleman about this being global disruption is probably going to be to stupid for anyone to really have a conversation with. And as I said, this gentleman is talking this way because he is politically motivated, and/or socially motivated, and/or religiously motivated. As far as I'm concerned, I don't have any time for people like this if you want to go ahead and stick your head in the sand and be an ostrich, and to pretend none of this is happening... go right ahead and do that. And all the while you are doing that, global warming Will still be taking effect, just as I have predicted over 40 years ago.

And by the way, I'll match my data against this gentleman's data any day of the week. He can bring his slide rule and I'll bring mine! But, no matter what, the fact remains, that he is misrepresenting the entire matter to the general public, and he's doing it based on some other agenda that he is not willing to disclose at this time.

And I refuse to be taken in by such filthy lies regarding the climate change that is happening here on earth. For anyone who chooses to believe this gentleman's assessment regarding the climate activity here on earth. You will probably end up deserving exactly what you get. The fact of the matter is we have electromagnetic field disruption taking place. We have a number of other factors that are breaking down. We have all sorts of different situations going on all over the planet that are not global disruptions. They are in fact, global warming and for this gentleman to sit there and claim that he's a scientist and say that all of this simply global disruption is not only reprehensible, it's scientifically irresponsible. Furthermore, it is very inhumane as well. He's basically trying to stand there and tell everyone not to worry while the entire dam is breaking.

I have nothing to lose by sitting back and waiting. I know my figures are correct. I know what I've seen is correct. I know that what I've been saying for the last 40 years is 100% correct. I don't need to justify anything to this scientist, who I believe is completely stupid, not to mention arrogant, and someone who appears to be a publicity hound. I don't need to justify anything to him or his friends, who are basically politically, and/or religiously, and/or socially motivated, as well.

The people who definitely do understand global warming will simply look at this scientist and see him as nothing more than a liar and someone who is basically playing semantics with a very serious human issue. And I would hazard to say that this scientist is probably Christian and probably has some degree of Christian orientation, and/or other political, or cultural agenda that he is not willing to disclose at this time. One can only wonder what that is.
