UAP Congressional Meeting (05/17/2022) Data Buckets and Triangulation

Same process that is used to study COVID can be used to discuss UAP. HERE. That means one can create buckets for all of the major possible outcomes and then create an unknown bucket for things we don't yet conceive. As each piece of data is discovered it is placed in the buckets in which it applies. More data leads to some buckets having more data than others. Once you went through all of the data you can start thinking about creating an understanding of how the data within a bucket fit together. Those buckets that have the most data and have the most parsimonious theoretical explanations would be your leading theory. Likewise looking for other sources of data (i.e. different observations and sensors) can lead to creating validity (i.e. pilot eye sight/observation, different countries, different camera, multiple sensors, multiple incidents, similarities in ship design/characteristics, sensor manufacturing, etc.).

The Great Replacement Theory and Extremism: There is more to this!

Everyone is talking about the Great Replacement Theory and all the experts are coming out to give their opinions. They all have a piece of how it impacts extremism in this country but might be missing a few things. This theory is only part of the general problem, issue and resolution. We knew this problem was brewing for some time and until we almost took down our nation and capital as we dragged our feet on bipartisan solutions (Its a collective problem). 

It is rooted in some people's belief in the symbolism of culture and political power and what our country should look like. I'm a light right Republican and believe that the Constitution is our overriding social contract and that applies to all peoples (That is not a debate on our immigration polices, the numbers, etc...) but it is a debate on how perceived changes in national demographics are being used to heighten fear (Why I have been advocating for GOP to be more inclusive of differences. They are great people and I know they are going to come around because its the right thing to do {I have been encouraged by some to take a leadership position and told by others my "Muslim Sounding Name" would disqualify me for any real importance. Before Democrats snicker they also have some work to do and are stoking their own extreme pockets. They are equally blinded by us versus them politics {maybe we are one nation with different ideas on how to get there. Anything is negotiable if we want to share perspectives Conflict Model and Communication}Just wait a minute and we will see. Bad karma brings more bad karma. So let us think together how we are going to save our nation and our people from ourselves. Patriotism comes in different forms.)

This isn't some isolated incident. Some say it is ONLY about race. Its not only about that. Its about race, religion, entitlement and indifference. I've seen this happen were large groups of people are willing to support intentionally false information under social pressure (they are actually being bullied themselves to accept lower order values but don't think in those terms. Allegory of Cave. i.e. slaves to forms) and in turn set up boundaries in society and create subjectivity in our legal, hiring, and social structure. 

It makes no difference to some if you served your country, objective U.S. history isn't part of the equation, or one's loyalty to nation or accomplishments in life. It comes down to who you are hanging out with, what things they talk about, the perception of power, skewed identities, misperception of nationalism (most are shallow forms of patriotism based on lower level identities), the political spectrum, and institutional integrity (i.e. meaning misuse of power/trust should not be tolerated.). We can call this phenomenon an undercurrent of sociological significance (I might not be using the wrong terminology. I wasn't rich enough to go to Harvard. I actually like Harvard. Sorry.)

It is also difficult to change with a few days of public outrage and then settling back into old dysfunctional patterns o indifference and denial (I'm not advocating for any race but the universalization of the value of American life.). We can design better methods of detection and send people to counseling that display aggression and manipulation that are rooted in our social networks. 

For example, in a situation in which I'm familiar because of blind loyalty and lack of exposure the ex-sports playing homogeneous network will not peel from their leadership to find a better path forward (Most are good people so my plan is to continue to engage positively but be bluntly honest. I know I'm seen as the "bitch" in this group and they have no problem yelling that out to my kids. I'm confused on the definition in this situation ðŸ¤”). They see the problems they face as from "those" people and not of their own making (You can't get more distorted or directed then that!)

At what point does misuse of legitimate authority for self serving behaviors (i.e. corruption), mixed with chatter (Facebook and social media), coordinated aggression, and environmental support push disgruntled members of a clan (likely led by someone with a mental health issue) to be a lone wolf? Spreading intentionally false information and ostracization is about creating "untouchables" in society and in turn encouraging group disdain (Most people might actually like the "other" but are forbidden through social expectation from socializing with the "enemy". i.e. hence they create two societies with different rules for each. We need to get everyone back to a shared perspective and a single society. "Stupid is as Stupid Does"). It only takes one to pull the trigger! 

I got a couple of ideas but they are pretty stupid I guess (I mean I do have a Muslim sounding name. i.e. lower value, lower IQ, lower loyalty, lower everything.....oh and my kids are mixed race and were intentionally targeted....again lower lower lower in the minds of the perpetrators and their blind followership. I suspect there are others in our national leadership who also feel the same. The real value of a person is different from socially constructed misperceptions. i.e. subjective reality from limited perception. 🤷🤓) You have to change the environment and its assumptions. Critical thinking and moral conscious become a necessity for that change. Ponder the stupidity of.....another unfinished theory. I got at least two that will likely be helpful someday (one on rapid innovation systems for government, military and industry. They aren't finished.) but let us wait and see. Who knows....I have to go to the grocery store and serve my community. It only takes one! We should head the call of greatness to build the best most enlightened nation by adhering to universal values we can sell globally and an economic system that brings real opportunities for those who put forward the effort. Out Perform China, Extremism Whole Nation, National Risks, Deradicalization.)

Escanaba Marina Has Open Slips: Filling Up Fast! (Marinas and Investment)

Today I just paid for my fishing boat broadside slip. There are still a few spots left. Escanaba is an underdeveloped place that certainly has opportunities for investment downtown, hotel, industry and perhaps a hotel run marina. That also includes development of ship building capacity and other important things. Sometimes you just have to think outside the box . ⌧ Other readings....

Mo and His Gal: Life Goes On!

I know the blog is a little heavy sometimes. Anyway, Mo is my horse and he is pretty well trained as a general horse. That is his girlfriend. I have no idea her name but as he walked by she was making all types of noised. As soon as he got into the paddock she ran over to him. The lady that works in the stables says they are a real couple. Life is simple....its kind of cute! Life Goes On!!! (Mo is tan/left)



UFOs Congressional Hearing: Why We Should Make Sure You Have Creative People Involved

 UFO Congressional hearing will look at UFO's and have a meeting. You can watch it live HERE. The committee will be held under the House Intelligence Committee's Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation Subcommittee. Its an important topic to look at. According to Politico HERE there are Harvard scientists that want to look at the data. That is great but we should probably think out of the box beyond existing theories.

Let me put a word of caution about elite education. I love Harvard, Yale, etc.. (and even flunked a class from one of their extension programs.) What I am going to say is that highly socialized people from similar backgrounds with the same professors is not the full way to go in situations like this. You need mental diversity and new ways of thinking about unknown problems.

While a team of scientists might include half of these interconnected, similar thinking, data diggers (nothing wrong with it. I'm just being jealous because I didn't have these opportunities. I pretty much lived on my own since 16.5 years old. 😔) that team should also include other types of people from non-elite university, industry, and creative people. Of course you can bring horses to water but you can't make them drink especially if there are pay checks, govt. contracts and opportunities involved.

As we debate how strong we want to be in the future we should probably open up our opportunities to include not only these elite scientists but also other types of scientists that weren't socialized to similar methodologies and often the same conclusions (Remember...unknown things will be difficult to define, understand and apply if you look at them from the same socio-cultural lens from similar backgrounds.). Think of how completely new ideas come from paradigm shifts and that doesn't come from using the same methodologies but often from people who thought differently. 

You can put smart people on the same bike and it won't go much faster. You have to mess with the gears and design to get more out of it. (Don't listen to me...I have a Muslim sounding name. 🤷).

Biden Addresses Buffalo Shooting At Law Enforcement Memorial

President Biden discusses hate and how we should find solutions. In many ways there are multiple factors that relate to mental health, social groups, social media, false perceptions, devaluing of human life, hyper politics, rapid change globally, etc... We often call this the internal factors that are adjusting to external pressures (i.e. live streaming hate through social media and in turn actively fighting it through stronger mental feedback loops through cognitive engagement and creating new neural networks through self interest. I wonder if it is possible to change perception by providing the type of  information that forces extremists on these networks to think about the meaning of information to solve problems that lead them to greater awareness of the dangers of such beliefs? {worm and hook} {Kind of like those books that you pick a choice and then jump to a page.} Tools of the digital era? ðŸ¤” Sorry thinking out of the box. Forget it...the old ways seems to be working good enough I guess. 🤷 We are struggling with policies for mandatory counseling, coding, and understanding macro trends when violence, bullying and extremism are present. i.e. outward projection of inward angst {i.e. where they got radicalized, who were they talking to, are there officials involved, what language is being used, information coming from overseas, etc..}. Wouldn't it be awesome to solve problems prior to them becoming bigger issues. Dumb idea I guess. ). These are patterns of change of different versions of how we see each other and our country. 

I advocate for bi-partisanship, critical thinking, early intervention and long term solutions. Sometimes hate is embedded in some of our institutions and not easy to discover and other times it is lone wolf radicalism. In my experience rumors and chatter are not innocent and often part of other more serious communication networks information (Sometimes they could even be foreign manipulated to create problems through websites, social media and extremist networks). 

Republicans and Democrats must be on the same page with this with genuine national interest. There should be no foot dragging when the signs are present and behaviors become apparent. While one may lead to violence it is often the context of such bad behavior on a social level that activates the lone wolf. We need a single conception of what it means to be an American. A universal conception of an "American" and in turn ensuring our institutions seek to maintain societal trust through objective critical thinking and "moral conscious" (It only seems dumb that I keep saying it now but it does have I believe an important point. Time answers all questions.)
