MooPig Cosmology and Time Department :: Introducing "Civitas Humana..."

Time to get Serious?
Mixed Mashed Articles by Pat Darnell  |  Nov 9, 2014  |  Bryan TX

Why do teachers, such as ministers, teach Metaphysics to people who can't even understand Physics? A teacher might say to a child, "Every time a bell rings an Angel gets her wings." Angels, bells, ... eh?

Time is quantifiable only if one cannot see the future nor recapture the past. We as humans see time as a axis in the dimensions of physics, stretching out linear. In nature there are living things that might be able to see past/present/future simultaneously. Not a far-fetched idea, but very basic to being human. Toying with timelines causes confusion.

What would be some of those life forms on earth that might see time differently? It is reported that lobsters never grow old, they live on and on. At least Al Sears, MD, said this:

"...They [lobsters] only die if they get eaten or injured from a predator, or get a rare disease, but never from old age. They don’t have a built-in life expectancy in their cells (Sears, Al. 01/2014. LINK)..."

And the Smithsonian claims:

"...So what would be a natural death for lobsters?
According to Carl Wilson, lead lobster biologist with the Maine Department of Marine Resources, between 10 and 15 percent of lobsters die naturally each year as they shed their exoskeletons because the exertion proves to be too much. Each molting process requires more and more energy than the one before it as lobsters grow in size (Marina Koren. JUNE 3, 2013. LINK)..."

Can't you just feel the welling up of a good molting, dear reader? In nature, live things change in shape and in form during their lifetimes. Our journey through time involves each of us changing from one form to another in almost supernatural ways. Can you explain to me the hollow ball of cells called a blastula in human reproduction. Eh?

I didn't think so.

Ah, heck discuss among yourself these too:  Fetus Morula Embryo Zygote Blastocyst Neonate... and put them in correct order according to time.

The part left out of the Books of Enoch, and other books of wisdom, includes explaining the life force of reproduction that is so dominate in all life forms... and probably explains a lot of the confusion about our cosmos too.

We tend to talk about what is observable. That makes sense. But we cannot, as previously noted, observe our past/present/future all at the same time. Here one blogger examines ...

Cosmology and Time in Metaphysical Naturalism | Civitas Humana: "For the next part of my series about the ‘metaphysics’ in metaphysical naturalism I will be analyzing how modern scientific theories about cosmology fit in to the naturalist worldview. Since I am not a professional scientist, I will be quoting authorities for all critical information. The purpose of this article is more philosophical than scientific, in that it does not seek to advance a particular scientific theory, but rather to demonstrate how modern cosmological theories align with the definition of metaphysical naturalism discussed earlier in this series (ADVERSUSAPOLOGETICA.
MAY 21, 2014. LINK)... "
'via Blog this'

"...The study of cosmology has a long history (see here), but since around the end of the 20th century scientists have reached a generally cohesive view of what our universe looks like. The observable universe that we live in is a sphere with a radius of about 46 billion lightyears. Beyond that the unobservable universe is much larger, and is still inflating rapidly. Within this observable part of the universe alone there are at least 100 billion galaxies (and possibly 500 billion galaxies in the whole universe), and, if modern observational estimates among astronomers are correct about there being 17 billion Earth-sized planets in our galaxy, then the rest of the universe no doubt contains many, many more (ibid. ADVERSUSAPOLOGETICA)..."

SUMMARY
Naturalism is a closed system, that can be observed in methodology, or not observable because of metaphysical [supernatural] causes. Scientific observation does not deal with "metaphysical" occurrence.

Stages of life are observable, but why they are observable depends on a time frame. Pat/Present/Future defines us and lobsters, and every living thing in the universe.

To experience supernatural stimuli, we humans must change from our current mental state of living in the ever-present linear time frame, to another form that can see past/present/future simultaneously. This could explain the reason for death.

MooPig Tech Coroner :: CO2 and Your Momma

The new app that tracks your carbon footprint — and lords it over your friends | Grist: "Ian Monroe wants you to beat your Facebook friends at a new game: Who has the lowest carbon footprint?

"... Monroe is the CEO of Oroeco, a recently launched web app that tracks a user’s personal impact on climate change. The app not only helps you quantify your own footprint — based on your spending habits, made possible through linking up with Mint.com — but by logging in with Facebook it’ll allow you to compare your carbon sins with those of your virtual community. Ultimately, Monroe wants to motivate users to emit a little (or a lot) less greenhouse gas. In other words, go ahead and feel green – with envy, that is..."
'via Blog this'

"... or the only other way I can make a meaningful dent is to buy legitimate carbon offsets. There are definitely some carbon offset projects that are a bunch of bullshit, but there are also some projects that are really good. Those are the ones we’re building into Oroeco’s platform, to make it easy for people to give to them..."

CONCLUSION
Going Green tends to alienate people rather than galvanize the populace. Why is that? MooPig Galvanizing Department will be asking that question a lot in the near future.

The lesson here is if you want to be the communist half of your country, you might consider choosing the southern half of the boundaries. It is the same here in the USA, socialists inhabit the Northern half of the country; rugged individualism survives in the South. It is a growing divisive issue worldwide, as the Global South is attacked by starving communist corporate dog-asses who would turn food production into a colossal automaton mess. Food and Water supplies will force new boundaries all over the world, especially in North and South Korea. [Read Entire Article HERE]

MooPig Report from the Middle :: "CO2 is the Biggest threat to the Middle"

“Now I know I've got a heart because it is breaking. - Tin Man” (L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz)

"For God so loved the World ..." this is how every Southern Baptists' boilerplate verse from the Bible; John 3:16, begins. What is not fully understood by all those evangelists is that God is not speaking of just the world of humans ... rather the Creator Almighty is speaking of all of creation of Earth, which might be fairer without the inclusion of humankind. It turns out, by all measurements of CO2 today, it is a big mistake to think otherwise.

While mega-turd politicians act confused about the Syrian front, there is a greater threat to American security.

The years should not gauze over how the world was conned into an awful conflict. To keep the water from rising we have to mandate a worldwide cut in Energy-related CO2 emissions by half by 2050 (compared with 2009) and continue to fall afterwards.



How Many Gigatons of CO2? | Information Is Beautiful:

'via Blog this'

CONCLUSION
It is MooPig Wisdom's hope that you dear reader will find some helpful information starting with the chart and LINKs, graphs, statistics and numerical predictions on CO2, included in today's post. In our own search for answers we find terrifying warnings, and abominable shortcomings by countries.

Will anything be done to curb our self-destruction -- anything that is humanly possible? Apparently only an act of God will make the earth long-term-inhabitable by all creatures, and, things big and small. Is it only a test of humans' resolve? Hard to say for sure.

Let's pretend that humankind takes a backseat in destroying all its natural resources, and actually puts the environment in the driver's seat. And let's give it a date to be transformed: let's go with August 29th, 2045. I will be 90 years old and still poor. But by then will the earth's oceans cover many shorelines that existed in 2013?

The only thing that can survive fifty or a hundred years is a sovereign, focused, linear derived family unit; one that can invest right now outside the given rules, today, and reap their benefit in 2100, in tomorrow's long term. That brings to mind Rothschilds and those like them. They seem to have all the luck when putting the brakes on things magnanimous. It would be a shame to lose all of the earth and everything in it.

Will robber barons be the ones who finally step up and clear the air? I am holding my breath.

That's our concerns for this hour from the Middle -- where the women are strong, the men are good looking, and the children are all above average.

MooPig Financial Trends :: "Global Wealth Inequality"

Impartial Disparity? I don't think So.
Gathered by Pat Darnell  |  May 30, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

The New York Times states: "The distribution of the world’s wealth — things like stocks, bonds or physical assets like land — has become even more narrowly concentrated than income, according to a new report by the World Institute for Development Economics Research of the United Nations University."

[Picture LINK]

~ In 2000, the top 1 percent of the world’s population — some 37 million adults with a net worth of at least $515,000 — accounted for about 40 percent of the world’s total net worth, according to the report.
~ The bottom half of the population owned merely 1.1 percent of the globe’s wealth. The net worth of the world’s typical person — whose wealth was above that of half the world’s population and below that of the other half —was under $2,200.

In rummaging through pages on this subject, it looks like AlterNet has replaced NewsWeek and Time magazines as a place to go get juicy stories about current events. I have half heartedly looked for the source and origins of AlterNet... [Maybe someone can help with that]. I am, after all, just another lazy blogger.

About Alternet: " ... Since its inception in 1998, AlterNet.org has grown dramatically to keep pace with the public demand for independent news. We provide free online content to millions of readers, serving as a reliable filter, keeping our vast audience well-informed and engaged, helping them to navigate a culture of information overload and providing an alternative to the commercial media onslaught. Our aim is to stimulate, inform, and instigate. (LINK) ... "

This story from yesterday has been brewing since agencies released some information about wealth distribution around the globe. AlterNet's article has some key points about that.

The World's Richest 8% Earn Half of All Planetary Income | Alternet: EXCERPT  |  "For example, the World Bank's list of "GDP per capita (current US$)" shows that in 2011 this annual-income figure ranged from $231 in Democratic Republic of Congo at the Equator, to $171,465 in Monaco within Europe. The second-poorest and second-richest countries respectively were $271 in Burundi at the Equator, and $114,232 in Luxembourg within Europe. For comparisons, the U.S. was $48,112, and China was $5,445. Those few examples indicate how widely per-capita income ranges between nations, and how more heat means more poverty." (Eric Zuesse. May 28, 2013. LINK ) ... "

'via Blog this'
That means when you divide all living people into five equal groups:

1. Poorest
2. Second
3. Third
4. Fourth
5. Richest

... Eighty percent of the world's people don't have any wealth. The "Richest" control 94% of the wealth. Sources are from the UN says the author. (Jason Hickel. 2 Apr 2013. LINK ) The groups are far from equal when measuring wealth.

Why does the wealth gap increase over the years? For example rich countries give every year about $130 Billion in aid to poorer countries. However, corporations take about $900 Billion out of poor countries every year. And the poorer 80% pay $600 Billion in debt service to its richer neighbors. Poorer countries provide resources and cheap labor. $900 + $600 Billion is $1.5 Trillion each year flowing out of the poorer countries.

Enough people asking the right questions will help to illuminate this inequality. But the methods of usurping poorer countries through unfair trade rules, and exploitation of labor forces have to be changed. Wrestling the wealth out of the hands of the 2% who now control trillions is not a simple task.

CONCLUSION
Changing the rules of wealth exploitation is not going to be an easy task any way you look at it. (LINK) If you can't screw it, or throw money at it, most rich folks won't even consider it.

MooPig's Report from Europe :: "Snow"

Snow in Rome and South to Puglia, Foggia
Retrieved by Pat Darnell | Feb 6, 2012 | Bryan TX

An extraordinary snowfall which had not occurred since 1985 hit Rome on Feb.3.
The severe cold weather currently gripping Europe has now spread to Italy. Freezing temperatures affecting the North of the peninsula began moving south on Monday, with snow now falling in Central Italy and the island of Sardinia too.

Authorities say that snow could fall on the nation's capital by Friday, while Florence and

Feb 5, 2012 | EXCERPT | " ... Emilia Romagna, are predicted to see snow flurries by Tuesday afternoon.

Trains and planes in Turin and Milan were delayed or cancelled, 100 flights were grounded at Bologna's Guglielmo Marconi airport, and heavy snowfall that caused disruption on the highways in Piedmont, Lombardy, Emilia Romagna, central Tuscany and Umbria has the weather reached sub-zero temperatures.

Transportation authorities are requiring travellers to carry snow chains on board if their vehicles are not equipped with snow tires. This inclement weather has already caused school shut-downs and stopped lorries from crossing the France-Italy boarders.

On the Alps, temperatures dipped to -21 Celsius degrees on the Mount Blanc, -27 on Mount Rosa and -12 in the ski resort town of Cortina. Many Italian Serie A and B soccer matches are at risk and might be cancelled.

MooPig's "One Hundred Years"

What is different today from a hundred years ago?
Re framed by Pat Darnell | Jan 12, 2012 | Bryan TX

The report, "Climate: Observations, projections and impacts," examined how climate change will modify the weather in 24 countries around the world. Floods, heat, migration: How extreme weather will transform cities (George Webster, for CNN. January 2, 2012)

What Difference Does a Hundred Years of Humanity Make, Anyway? 

by Jean Kinzel  ::  ‎1911 Ford Model T

The year is 1911 --- One hundred (and one) years ago.
What a difference a century makes!
Here are some statistics for the Year 1911:
************ ********* ************
The average life expectancy for men was 47 years.
Fuel for this car was sold in drug stores only.
Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.
Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.
There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of paved roads.
The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph..
The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower !
The average US wage in 1910 was 22 cents per hour.
The average US worker made between $200 and $400 per year.
A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year,
A dentist $2,500 per year,
a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year,
and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.
More than 95 percent of all births took place at home.
Ninety percent of all Doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION.
Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which
were condemned in the press AND the government as "substandard."
Sugar cost four cents a pound.
Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.
Most women only washed their hair once a month,
and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.
Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from
entering into their country for any reason.

The Five leading causes of death were:

1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5.. Stroke

The American flag had 45 stars.
The population of Las Vegas , Nevada, was only 30!!!
Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented yet.
There was neither a Mother's Day nor a Father's Day.
Two out of every 10 adults couldn't read or write and only 6 percent
of all Americans had graduated from high school.

Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter
at the local corner drugstores.

Back then pharmacists said, "Heroin clears the complexion,
gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels,
and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health!"

Eighteen percent of households had at least one full-time servant or domestic help ....
There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE U.S.A. !

Geez, try to imagine what will be said about 2012 in another 100 years.

MooPig's Carbon Food-print :: "North Korea In Desperate Need Of Food Aid"

[Cartoon from HERE What does North Korea want? December 2, 2010]
Retrieved by Pat Darnell  |  May 31, 2011  |  Bryan TX

" ... U.S. food aid to North Korea was suspended more than two years ago [2009] after Pyongyang would not allow an increase in the number of Korean-speaking monitors. They were meant to ensure the food was reaching those most in need rather than being diverted to the military or the elite."

North Korea In Desperate Need Of Food Aid: "In both the United States and South Korea there is a divide about the ramifications of providing such aid to the reclusive communist country.

Those favoring food aid say it could encourage an opening of the country or prompt concessions from Pyongyang on nuclear or humanitarian issues. Those opposed contend that denying the assistance to such a repressive country could help hasten the government’s collapse.

ICG analyst Pinkston doubts either option would prove to be a catalyst."

Food and Drugs, Fresh Water, and Healthcare: Global South

Healthcare Reform -- a Colossal Waste of Resource .... !
by Pat Darnell


8th Visit today -- but seriously, ... Making it a Law???

Also, not to be a thorn in your [....] nor a practitioner of tangential mechanics to divert attention... no, not even trying to be cute; here is a different kind of interview transcript you might find applicable:
http://www.democracynow.org/2010/4/23/bolivian_president_evo_morales_to_president


"Bolivian President Evo Morales on President Obama: 'I Can’t Believe a Black President Can Hold So Much Vengeance Against an Indian President' ”
HERE

I feel the problemo is three sided. Yes, One is applied science of health care; Two is fresh water supply; Three is food and medicine, as in FDA. ?? No?

Let me make this personal:
Looking back I have never been able to afford healthcare in any form. Even with ample group health insurance I have gone into debt almost every time we needed extensive medical attention for any of our immediate family of eight. Six children from birth to adult hoods, what a nightmare to provide logical, affordable, health care...

And, at 87 my father and mother, God love them, are anxious about "out-living the money."

I don't know anyone today in my circle of family and friends who can honestly say: "I am covered and my family is covered in the event of longterm medical emergency or so on.."

PHOTO credit

Bureaucrats like Hillary and Barry, on the government payroll, with cushy pensions are no judge to any kind of healthcare reforms. They are simply idiot savants, without the savants, if you catch my drift.

They can dance all they want to. Dance like Mick Jagger.. (referral: God, History and You, -- HERE)

[blah blah blah blecch! wretchedness. FLAP!!!]

They can waltz, all I care.

They can spin like draedals...

... And the AMA can spend trillions to persuade bureaucrats to dance to their tune, it is out of my hands... out of my league, always was, always will be.
_________
This interview has mention of the Global South... that means food producers... go on and tell me cost of healthcare cannot be lowered worldwide with proper diet, and plenty of fresh water? Go on try to convince me.

Flowers rock; and so do forests; and you too, MooPigsters everywhere.
[pd out, for now]
