Other mornings thoughts...

== On Pain ===
Unpacking stuff from the dinner party I realise that I can now be completely honest at the white out of pain that I experienced regarding "my muse". I must be a very small person to have taken 11 years to digest that - but we take as long as we have to. Now I'm back within normal operation parameters I can start to function again. I realise that all people experience huge amounts of pain as a normal function of unenlightened life - maybe not going over registerable levels that often but some may be always be in unregisterable territory and so not even know that they hurt so bad.

==Capitalism and Well Bein ===
Answre to GCSE chemistry question: food colours are added to make food look more appealing to customer.

Amazing that we pay good money simply to have our "food" "look" better. What is the actual connection? It is the capital trying to fool us into buying its product rather than another. We pay for this capital distortion of our selses.

Worse given health risks capital will try to sell the product rather than benefit the customer. Thus we actually end up paying to hurt ourselves. Extraordinary really.

==Ecology n Genetics===

I'm beginning to be happy with the ideas of evolutionary biology. Before I was depressed by the dissolution of the "organism" in favour of population of competing genes. This is highly important but it is not everything.

Looking at Nature again with a more peaceful mind the genetics are everywhere and in everything.

==Invisble hand of the Ecology===
It seems that there is a sort of "conservation of diversity" in ecology.

In simple computer models, evolution doesn't work well because the selection criteria are so stuffy, static and contrived. In reality however the incomprehensible complexity of interaction forces from physics, chemistry, mathematics, information and logic means that evolution has endless selection forces to mediate.

Thus when a particular "form" becomes too dominant it simply creates an opportunity for a specialist to evolve that transforms (or preys) upon that form.

In Reality - "if you can you do". There is no morality outside maybe the constructed self I referred to this morning.

Evolution always does. Thus balance seems to be more likely than one would expect. Any imbalance simply provides a easy opportunity for a specialist to exploit which simply returns diversity back upwards. Its as though there is an invisible hand guiding the ecology and finding a energy price for interactions. Once something becomes profitable then it is exploited and redirects energy into that form. Diversity and Complexity are thus assured.

The greatest danger from the human race is the accumulation of so much of natures biomass in a simple to exploit form. A suitable disease for example will have a field day in the world's current mono-culture of human societies.

Long Live Diversity!

US displaying its Imperialist credentials... yet again

Wanted to know the pattern of UN votes over Venezuela and then got into seeing if ChatGPT could see the obvious pattern of Imperialism here....
