    Re: East Meets West Logic...

    Thank you for your reply, Lloyd.

    Perhaps I phrased my remarks poorly.

    Certainly, I agree, that we need trade within our nations, and many products and commodities are not suited to international exchange.

    With the resources of the planet divided rather inequitably, I am trying to envision how your formula might improve the lot of those people who live in areas of the globe which offer insufficient means for present survival, let alone participation in a global economy.

    Your thoughts on that?

    Would your remarks above have anything to do with consideration of a 'global currency', or do heterodox economists view such a concept as favorable?

    Suppose I'd better study up on heterodox economists now and stop trying your patience, lol.

    Re: East Meets West Logic...

    Interesting that we have regional and national diaster funds to assist when earthquakes, fire and flood, among other things, bring widespread harm to a community or region.

    Particulary interesting that we have the means to compensate and rebuild for homeowners who have suffered loss, yet we do not seem to have the same access to funding to provide adequate shelter to the many homeless of our nations.

    Rather a skewed game of Monopoly, when you observe people reduced to your own default state, and then witness your government and country restoring them, yet pleading penury if you are without resources yourself.

    Just my thought of the moment....

    Re: East Meets West Logic...

    Thanks for your sincere interest Lorrina, and first, let me state my position about a global currency. Most are not aware there are two interpretations of a global currency system. One is a single global currency for all nations, which I am against, as it removes the sovereignty and safety of action from any nation participating in such a system. It also puts all power in a single governing body/bank of such a system.

    The second system is a global international currency system, where all nations maintain all their own internal currencies, yet an international currency is issued for all international trade, where all local currencies are exchanged against the international currency, thus leaving the local system to freely function on its own. This system is simply to stop the global international robberies that are presently taking place, thus saving us trillions over the years, to spend on what's truly needed_food, shelter, health, clothing, etc. It also can pay down the national debt much easier. We can end the speculators' reign with such a system. This is the one I prefer. It's the system Plato offered centuries ago, Ben Franklin offered, Keynes offered and now P.Davidson and myself offer, plus the one any number of other heterodox economists are backing...rrr

    Re: East Meets West Logic...

    Your tutelage is most appreciated, Lloyd.

    As we set about seeking reform and improvement in our fiscal tools and systems, one item comes to my attention on a regular basis.

    Our existing credit systems, notably credit card companies, are guilty of enticing the public to borrow monies for unsecureable products.

    Taking a vacation is the one that springs first to mind.

    Now, don't get me wrong. I can greatly appreciate the value of some rest and relaxation for anyone.

    Yet, to borrow against one's future earnings for such an event, seems a very dangerous thing, as none of us can predict any of the many financial mishaps that can arise on short notice.

    My early tutors taught me, 'neither a borrower nor a lender be.'

    Then they gently tempered that teaching with the following:

    'Never lend more than you can afford to lose'.

    and,

    'In borrowing, make certain that the item you are borrowing against, can be it's own collateral. Then if you are unable to pay, you can turn over the collateral as repayment, and likely also recapture some of your investment.'

    Imagine my surprise, when I had a small sum of $1,000.00 U.S. invested in a G.I.C. with a Canadian bank, and they would not extend me a line of credit against it when I offered it as collateral?

    They would willingly offer me much credit against my free and clear land title (over my dead body, lol), and yet money would not serve as it's own collateral.

    I learned something of great value that day, and I now spend most of my money on 'hard goods' that retain their value, do work for me, and are unaffected by the drama of the stock markets.

    Equator of self-contradiction is absolute logic. It is above contradictions, just as light though equator of positive and negative charge, is infinitely above their level of self-contradiction.Equator of self-contradiction is the absolute logic of highest awareness about the true nature of the Universe.Lets not fail to realize, that humanity is just now at the dawn of the 3rd. Millennium. The greatest hours of human understanding about the Universe, are still ahead of us.

Absolute logic is the equator of all the infinite self-contradictions. I think your wisdom logic generator law will allow us to see the absolute physics of metaphysics, and offers the key to unlocking the TOE. Others, of course, and maybe even you, will interpret this differently, but the absolute logic of self-contradictions' evidence will equilibriate all valid truths. I sincerely thank you for your valiant efforts toward solving this TOE. Let all the contradictions be placed in one thread, to ascertain the absolute evidentiary evidence of facts. This should be done one contradiction at a time not to be confusing. Let us all find the self-evident absolute truths of all the self-contradictions...rrr

    Checked it out...right on target, too!



    Thanks for the tune, Lloyd. It's a little bit country...while this a little bit rock and roll...from NZ with love...all in good fun, of course...

    Re: East Meets West Logic...

    Thanks, Lloyd. In my haste to follow your thread, I omitted to follow up you original post .

    I'm a self confessed science-dummy...but, can't help thinking that this is somehow pertinent to the other side of active galactic nuclei...yeah, yeah, I Wiki'd it (but I'm really very pushed for time)...

    ...variants of TiN (titanium nitride)...colors ranging from light gray to nearly black, to a dark iridescent bluish-purple...


    Iridescence is generally known as the property of certain surfaces which appear to change colour as the angle of view changes. Iridescence may be seen commonly in soap bubbles and butterfly wings.

    Iridescence (also known as goniochromism) is an optical phenomenon of surfaces in which hue changes in correspondence with the angle from which a surface is viewed.

    Iridescence is caused by multiple reflections from multi-layered, semi-transparent surfaces in which phase shift and interference of the reflections modulates the incident light (by amplifying or attenuating some frequencies more than others). This process is the functional analog of selective wavelength attenuation as seen with the Fabry-Pérot interferometer.

    The word iridescence is derived in part from the Greek word iris (pl. irides), meaning "rainbow", which in turn derives from the goddess Iris of Greek mythology, who is the personification of the rainbow and acted as a messenger of the gods. Goniochromism is derived from the Greek words gonia, which means angle, and chroma, which means color.
    Conventional photography only records the specific effect of iridescence, just as it only captures the effect of three dimensions; however, iridescence can be reproduced by holography (which includes phase information).

    You might think I'm mad...but, if that's the case, I'll follow it up in due course, anyhow...

    "Madness", in many cultures, is considered a gift from the heavens. Would that we were all so blessed!

    I would love to have your scientific accumen, Leskey, as I have observed in your postings on the thread of Wick and others.

    Mythology and word origins are also areas of interest to me, and I greatly appreciate the details and links you have shared in this post.

    Thank you for introducing me to another new artist, and it seems she is relatively new on the scene also, but I expect she will become popular.

    This video comes with fashion tips! She manages to make lace-up sneakers look good, lol...
