MooPig Tech Coroner :: "The Internet of Everything"

The Death of the "Internet" -- and the birth of the "InterWorld"
Mashed articles by Pat Darnell  |  Nov 14, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture source Unknown] This small-cap company's product is roughly the size of a silver dollar -- but it enjoys a dominant market share and air-tight patent protection.

Who is talking about this? I checked my gmail, and up came Motley Fool, an investing group who has my number.

Meaning tens of billions of regular "things"... Sidewalks and cereal boxes...minivans and dress pants...the lawn mower in your shed and the pillows on your bed... Will soon be connected together in an Internet of Everything.

Gmail - They're turning off your Internet -- make $44,500 when the Web goes dark: "4 Words, Can't-Miss Opportunity... Get in NOW on "The Internet of Everything" Sounds kind of funny, doesn't it... "The Internet of Everything.""

'via Blog this'

Get ready for your new sneakers to be Internet-connected ... football helmets will show probabilities of plays success to quarterbacks in the huddle ... Your wedding rings will be Internet compatible so you never again forget your anniversary day ...

Need a stock tip for your future? Well this one might be a doozey. This bit proclaims every thing will be connected via internet. It claims the internet-connected devices globally will grow from 1.5 b
trillion devices to 50 billion devices by 2020.

Most investors haven't heard about the InterWorld yet -- they're still busy trying to figure out when Apple will release another piece of "iJunk".

Why NOW is the final stage of the Digital Era's "Implementation Gap"

Put simply, the Internet of Everything is the final stage of the Internet's progression.

But you haven't read this far just to hear the simple explanation!

So consider this: in 1969, when the Internet was first invented, it could only be used by a few professors operating some clunky switchboards in Menlo Park, California...

By 1986, a handful of high-powered players in the international community, including research institutes, educational systems -- and, so the rumor goes, the Pentagon -- were able to harness the power of the Internet for some secretive tinkering...

Then came the 1990's.

The convergence of desktop PCs and Internet Service Providers (or, as I like to call them, "those $@!% cable companies") brought the World Wide Web to consumers everywhere.

And for the next two decades, as companies like Apple and Samsung continued to release new gizmos and gadgets, the Internet went from being in two or three switchboards in California to two or three devices in every home in America.

But just like electricity made a snap transition from a "specialized technology" to a regular feature in everything from sneakers to school-supplies...

The Internet -- and all the potential for progress it brings with it -- is about to move from "Internet-Only" objects to EVERYDAY objects...

Meaning tens of billions of regular "things"...

Sidewalks and cereal boxes...minivans and dress pants...the lawn mower in your shed and the pillows on your bed...

Will soon be connected together in an Internet of Everything.

Granted, the "Internet of Everything" is just the term that scientists, CEOs, academics, and other brainiacs are using to talk about this incredible opportunity...

(And boy are they talking about it...in fact, for nearly a century the brightest minds in the world have been eagerly anticipating this enormous new market.)

But frankly, even though this shift will be absolutely massive in terms of its real-world impact, I think there's a relatively simple way to describe what's happening...

The Death of the "Internet" -- and the birth of the "InterWorld"

The Economist is breathless about how it will do everything from lowering crime to reducing road accidents...

The Wall Street Journal expects it to radically change both business and personal life -- from "the hand-towel dispenser in the washroom" to "your car, your kettle, your toaster... even the mousetraps in your attic."

The European Union is so convinced of this technology's massive impact that it already has a hush-hush multi-national committee (codenamed "Unit D4") working around the clock to introduce laws and governance for it...

And over in China the Beijing bureaucrats are planning to use it to make telephone-booth sized virtual health clinics for billions of rural villagers.

Heck, even the NFL is thinking about getting onboard. Pretty soon, referees might be out of a job...

Because the football will automatically "know" when it's crossed the goal-line!

CONCLUSION
We don''t make this stuff up. And MooPig loves to share Technological Deaths. Apparently Motley Fool's claims are based on population of 7.1 billion today. The purchase of the stock in the company they suggest is expected to increase at 89% a year for the next six years.

" ... [R]egardless of how you feel about the revolutionary technological shift the InterWorld represents, the facts of the matter are painfully clear:

•  The InterWorld revolution is already underway -- and gaining momentum at an incredible pace.
•  There is exactly one company that sits at the very heart of the InterWorld market...and it stands to rake in hundreds of billions of dollars between now and 2020. ... "

Of course, Motley Fool gives you all this information, but leaves out the name of the company that they recommend. It will cost you about $100 to find out what this is all about.

We cannot figure out why investment people write and vlog such long verbose speeches about what they are discovering. Do you know why? I get up to three new "blockbuster stock announcements" per day, but usually read, or listen, to only one every month. One a month seems tolerable.

We cannot offer advice on stock purchases because MooPig Enterprises doesn't know its ass from third base about stocks and stuff.

TRANSCRIPT
0:00there's a chart SR recently that I can't get out of my head
0:03Harvard Business professor and economist ass more than 5,000 Americans
0:08how they thought well was distributed in the United States
0:12this is what they said they thought it was dividing the country into five rough
0:15group at the top bottom
0:17and middle 3 20 percent group they asked people
0:21how they thought the wealth in this country was divided NES them
0:25what they thought was the ideal distribution and ninety-two percent
0:29that at least nine outta 10 a.m. said it should be more like this
0:33in other words more equitable than they think it is
0:37now that fact is telling admittedly the notion that most Americans know that the
0:41system is
0:42already skewed unfairly to what's most interesting to me
0:46is the reality compared to our perception the ideal
0:50is as far removed from our perception is reality
0:54as the actual distribution is from what we think
0:57exists in this country so ignore the ideal for a moment
1:01here's what we think it is again and here
1:04is the actual distributional shockingly skewed
1:08not only to the bottom 20 percent and the next 20 percent
1:12the bottom forty percent of Americans barely have
1:16any the wealth I mean it's hard even see them on the chart
1:20but the top one percent has more of the country's wealth
1:24then nine out of 10 Americans believe the entire top 20 percent should have
1:29mind-blowing but let's look at it another way because
1:33I find this chart kinda difficult to wrap my head around instead let's reduce
1:37the 311 million Americans to
1:40just a representative 100 people make it simple
1:44here they are teachers coaches firefighters construction workers
1:49engineers doctors lawyers some investment bankers the CEO
1:53may be a celebrity culture now let's line him up according to their wealth
1:57poorest people on the left wealthiest on the right just a steady row folks based
2:02on their net worth
2:03color coding like we did before based on which 20 percent quintile they volunteer
2:09now let's reduce the total wealth the United States
2:12which was roughly fifty four trillion dollars in 2009
2:16to this symbolic pi love cash and let's distributed
2:21among our 100 Americans well appear socialism
2:25all the wealth of the country distributed equally we all know that
2:28will work
2:29we need to encourage people to work can work hard to achieve that goal American
2:33Dream and keep our country moving forward
2:36so hears that night deal
2:39we asked everyone about something like this occur
2:42this isn't to bed we've got some incentive as the wealthiest folks are
2:46now about
2:4710 to 20 times better off in the poorest Americans
2:51but hey even the poor folks aren't actually poor
2:54since the poverty line is stated almost entirely off the chart
2:58we have a super healthy middle-class with a smooth transition into wealth
3:03and yes Republicans and Democrats alike chose this curve nine out of 10 people
3:09ninety-two percent said this was a nice ideal distribution of America's wealth
3:14the let's move on this is what people think
3:18America's wealth distribution actually looks like not as equitable clearly
3:23but for me even this still looks pretty great
3:26yes the poorest 20 to 30 percent are starting to suffer quite a lot compared
3:31to the ideal
3:33in the middle class is certainly struggling more than they were
3:36while the rich in wealthier making roughly a hundred times that of the
3:40poorest Americans
3:41in about ten times that if the still healthy middle-class
3:44sadly this isn't even close to the reality
3:48here is the actual distribution of wealth in America
3:52the poorest Americans don't even register
3:56they're down to pocket change and the middle class
4:00is barely distinguishable from the poor in fact
4:03even the rich between the top 10 in 20 percentile
4:07are worse off only the top 10 percent or better off
4:10and how much better off so much better off the top
4:14to 25 percent were actually of the chart
4:17at this scale and the top one percent
4:20this can were his stack of money stretch is ten times higher than we can show
4:27here's his stack of cash re stacked all by itself
4:31this is the top one percent we've been hearing so much about
4:34so much green in his pockets that I have to give him a whole new column his own
4:39because he won't fit on my chart 1 percent of America has
4:43forty percent of all the nation's wealth
4:46the bottom eighty percent 8 out of every 10 people
4:50work a Dr these 100 only has
4:53seven-percent between them in this
4:56only gotten worse in the last twenty to thirty years
4:59while the richest 1 percent take home almost a quarter
5:03the national income today in 1976
5:06they took home only nine percent meaning their share of income has nearly tripled
5:10in the last thirty years
5:13the top one percent own half the country stocks bonds and mutual funds
5:18the bottom 50 percent of Americans only
5:21half a percent these investments which means
5:25P aren't investing they're just scraping by I'm sure many of these wealthy people
5:29have worked very hard for their money
5:31but do you really believe that the CEO was working
5:34380 times harder his average
5:38employees not as lowest-paid employees not the janitor
5:42but the average earner in his company the average worker needs to work more
5:46than a month
5:47turn with the CEO makes in one our
5:51we certainly don't have to go all the way to socialism to find something that
5:55is fair
5:56for hard-working Americans we don't even have to achieve what most of us consider
6:00might be
6:01ideal all we need to do is wake up
6:04in reliance that the reality in this country
6:08is not it all what we think it is

MooPig Report from the Middle :: "Meritocracy"

Why do we Throw Around "--OCRACY'S" so Much?
mashed articles by Pat Darnell  |  Nov 10, 2013  |  Bryan TX

What is more important: Universal knowledge, or Micro-management knowledge? MooPig Report from the Middle Department would like to subscribe to both extremes. However, that leads us to today's subject, "--ocracy." After all we find we represent the Middle, which hardly has universal understandings, nor all that much micro management skills.

For instance: Rich man, self-made millionaire, lived his youth through the 30's and Great Depression, builds up his street cred, and buys a few distressed banks which he flips and sells for big profits. He gets to middle age, and gets the "politics bug." Not too many politicians stray very far from this stereotype.

So what then does the newly elected politician do? He picks from the huge list of --ocracies; which one to use in his dialogue with others? This is true for every politician, from lowly council members to presidents; Chairman of the Board to CFO's ... lot's of rich guys think they are doing a self-evaluation of their lives as they pick an --ocracy. What they are missing is that while rich and powerful, they can't even make a cup of coffee for themselves.

When we, the lowly non-elected, think of Meritocracy, we think of schooling. We might think also of churches, sports, artists, and other labor intensive institutions. Rarely would we think of politicians. As usual at MooPig Enterprises we most often think of things in terms of cow herds. Politicians exist because of a long standing curse on mankind. Stand out politicians are not natural to the herd.

But for transgressions-that-will-remain-untold, one can make Meritocracy mean anything one wants it to mean. On face value, let's go with the root "Merit." For the rich man, merit could mean making a big pile of cash in business. In America that seems to be all one has to do in life. For this to be true, the ends justify the means. We would agree if all the rich men and women start from a position of  "no inheritance" like the definition of meritocracy implies.

Whoa, what is that? Yes, meritocracy says all people start from the same position, like a horse race, and proceed from there.

Meritocracy And John Galt! | DOCMARTIN1: Its Business and Personal: " ...“The Rise of Meritocracy.” It was published in 1958, and dealt with a society obsessed with talent. “The date was 2034, and psychologists had perfected the art of IQ testing. But far from promoting social harmony, the preoccupation with talent had produced a social breakdown. The losers in the talent wars were doubly unhappy, conscious not only that they were failures but that they deserved to be failures. Eventually they revolted against their masters.” I wonder why something like this would happen?"

Yes, a high percentage all of the 'racers would be losers. Is that how it really is out here? No; no more than how a calf could not make it through its first year without its mother. To lose means dependence on others for your decline. To win also then, means dependence on others when you succeed. Meritocracy is relative to institutional support systems, and correlates with advancing in one area while sucking wind in another, usually crucial, area.

MooPig Report from the Middle Department brings up "meritocracy" because while not being fully understood as an --ocracy, it is used in many ways today. Schools have almost nationwide lost their minds to delusions of "merit." The Core Curriculum idea, and its acceptance by states, has just about destroyed education in the USA. Its cumulative result has been one of stamping a student with an achievement number as related to the whole student body's achievement.

Such unpardonable meritocracy is wrong, because:
1. Students lose respect for facts - they become skeptical
2. Students lose respect for people - they become morally relativists - they start to think humanity is screwed up by nature, they start to dismiss the significance or importance of any one individual, and they start to think that the only way to change the world is by forcing policy down people's throats.

As students become professionals, they adapt these flaws to their own understanding of their professions.

We don't know who Mencken is but this is our conclusion:

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
― H.L. Mencken

That's our Report from the Middle where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and the children are above average.

MooPig Wisdom Department :: Ten Things you need to Know this Morning!

Everyone Else tries to Make you Look, We're No Different!
by Pat Darnell  |  Nov 7, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]  “Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right.” ― Isaac Asimov, Foundation

We at MooPig FWD Email Department get a lot of unsolicited advice. Many "groups," like Business Insider, Motley Fool, and, LinkedIn, send us "Ten Things You Need to Know Right Now." One must admit it is a title that titillates, eh? But clues are all over the place, like this quote:

"Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world." [Henry Kissinger]

It turns out, most of the stuff in our lives, amounts to a lot of barking at the moon. Arguments online are at best chippy. So, what could MooPig Wisdom Department announce that might have any bearing on lives? Well, others try to get you to look at their stuff ... so here goes ... believe me, it's tempting to sugar coat this, and I feel like I'm sticking my neck out:


#10 --  At some point, you have to just ignore idiots. It is, after all, really a war to control minds, a battle for our brains.



#9 -- Hyper elites ... you know the Illuminati, and those freaks who inherited all the money and banks, ... people claiming to possess special enlightenment or knowledge of something ... they do not want to be engaged; not with you, not with me, and they certainly don't want to be engaged to each other, especially not with their own children. There once was a time when the Super-Rich needed a Middle Class to be successful -- Not Any More. Super-rich of the 21st century no longer think that you and I are needed for their continued success.



#8 -- Transhumanism is alive and well. We will be assimilated. It is not a bad dream you are having, we are on the road to a soft sunrise.



#7 -- That engine of business progress — it turns out that most of the cylinders are either misfiring or seizing up altogether. In its 2013 State of the American Workplace report, Gallup reported that 7 out of 10 employees are either “not engaged” or “actively disengaged.”



#6 -- What a person "believes" usually sabotages "logic and reason". That is why perceived "alignment, positivity, and feeling like one is achieving progress" actually limits so many persons out here from learning what facts are saying. [look at this LINK]



#5 -- Most of us are "not" put in a position to succeed. We are like Congress persons in the US, only mouthpieces for development and delivery of secretive, unknown to public, policies.



#4 -- If you don't know by now, you need to know that the Federal Reserve Bank, and all the European Central banks, are privately owned. What that means is that everything you, your children, your parents do is controlled by money that is controlled by the gray matter of one brain somewhere in the world.



#3 -- The media, including Internet, enjoys "making this bullshit up because there are absolutely no consequences for being wrong." [The Daily Show]



#2 -- Earth has experienced Extinction Level Events throughout its entire history. Our fossil record proves it. And ELE's will always be with us; they will happen again.



#1 -- Wisdom comes with a price. Wisdom is not genetic, nor given to the gifted or rich; it must be prayed for and earned.


CONCLUSION
"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system that has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.” [Speech by JFK]

MooPig 'Stuff No One Wants to Hear About' Department :: "Fukushima UPDATE"

More Shaking News from Energy Experts
youTube Capture by Pat Darnell and Elaine D'Rico  |  Nov 7, 2013  |  Austin and Bryan TX

http://youtu.be/iTqzqoKMLEg

TRANSCRIPT

0:01SCHINDLER: I would say the biggest thing people should have learned from the Japanese nuclear
0:10accident is that for rare events that are catastrophic the tendency of politicians to
0:22go to risk based management is folly. Risk based management works well if you're calculating
0:32car crashes and the probability of getting in one. Things where you have a big database
0:38and lots of events in a big variety of things. For things that happen very very rarely so
0:47that you can't really calculate the probability - just to give you a number astronomically
0:53low and that would be for a tsunami or a nuclear power plant failure. Well, how is it then,
1:01that when you think the probability on a risk-base is of a tsunami causing 6 nuclear plants to
1:09fail...and then if that doesn't blow your mind enough, the calculation of a risk of
1:16a deepwater oilspill is astronomically low. And that happened just a few months later.
1:23So the message is: There are things that are important enough that you don't tolerate any
1:31risk. You have to have data to work with to generate reliable risk estimates and it just
1:39doesn't work for rare or catastrophic events. And that's something that we as a society
1:46need to know because we have politicians who want to see these risk calculations on everything
1:52and if they're below a certain threshold, you know, go with the in doubt one. The precautionary
2:00principle has been lost.
2:02SUZUKI: We're always being told these technologies are foolproof but what is a foolproof technology?
2:08It's a technology free of fools. And who hasn't been at some point gone to a party and gotten
2:13hammered and you come in hungover the next day, or got a cold and didn't want to lose
2:18a days wages so you come in, or fallen in love and lost 50 IQ points. I mean, lots of
2:29things makes us fools and you can't anticipate the fool. How a real life fool -and
2:35technology. But, you know, I make a point of not accepting invitations to be on organizations
2:39- foreign organizations - because I'm focused just in Canada, but last year I did accept
2:44one international invitation to be part of: Japan's Renewable Energy Foundation. It was
2:49set up after Fukushima. Fukushima is the most terrifying situation I can imagine. You asked,
2:58"What can we do?" First of all you have got to get a government that isn't in total collusion
3:04with techno...the energy companies. They're lying through their teeth. 3 out of the 4
3:14plants were destroyed in the earthquake and in the tsunami. The 4th one has been so badly
3:22damaged that the fear is: if there's another earthquake of a 7 or above that thing then
3:31will go and then all hell breaks loose. And the probability of a 7 or above earthquake
3:36in the next 3 years is over 95%. Now what they've got in there is 1300 rods of spent
3:43fuel that have to be kept in water all the time. And they have no way of getting it out
3:49and, you know, they're pouring water in and that water's leaking out and now they've got
3:53this cockamamie scheme of trying to freeze the soil so the (unintelligible) flows in
3:58- well - they don't know what to do and the thing we need is to get an international group
4:04of experts to go in with complete freedom to do what they suggest and right now the
4:10Japanese government has too much pride to admit that. I have seen a paper which says
4:17that, if, in fact, the 4th plant goes under an earthquake and those rods are exposed it's
4:25bye bye Japan and everybody on the West Coast of North America should evacuate. If
4:34that isn't terrifying I don't know what is.

CONCLUSION
Collusion and misinformation of and by Japan [and possibly the rest of the world] has stymied work on the clean up of the Fukushima nuclear plants. From other sources we find the cleanup will take thirty years. If it is that long, when it's done this author will be 88 years old.

" ... if, in fact, the 4th plant goes under an earthquake and those rods are exposed it's bye bye Japan and everybody on the West Coast of North America should evacuate. If that isn't terrifying I don't know what is. ... "
