IPPP Intelligent Puzzle Pieces Paradigm ... individual freedom
#IPPParadigm IPPP Intelligent Puzzle Pieces Paradigm ... individual freedom is power. Imagine gazillions of intelligent puzzle pieces.... each one is a human. ( linked to emergence of Sophont2 ) #individualLiberty
The IPPP was invented ( as far as I know ) by Donald Boudreaux . He has written an awesome 3 part article about how IPPs work. See the URLs below for more information. Briefly the idea is that the combined desires and intelligence of millions ( or billions ) of individuals self-aligning themselves in the giant puzzle of life is so much more effective than depending on a master ( slave-master ? ) puzzle assembler to put all of those pieces in effective locations and relationships. The only reason this old master assembler paradigm is still held in any kind of esteem is because of lizard brain thinking. ( see URL below )
The IPPP leads to more ethical results ..... from both a utilitarian view and a deontological view.
Donald J. Boudreaux is an economist from New Orleans, LA who became chairman of the department of economics at George Mason University in August 2001.

Politically Ron Paul is the politician most favourable to the IPPP . No one is perfect.... Ron Paul comes the closest. Even better would be to have NoPOTUS .... create a manager for the DOD/DOO

A brief history of history According to some, a vacuum fluctuation occurred 13 billion years ago. BANG ! Big badda BANG ! This universe sprang into being and started expanded. Fast forward to a black monolith and then the monkeys start talking and beating each other over the head with clubs. For the next 50,000 years the monkeys developed traits that worked for survival. Think fast ! Run fast ! Think locally ! Love your tribe ! Worship the man ! All these instincts were burned into a part of our brain that we share with the lizards.... the LIZARD BRAIN .....
Now it is 1951...... a very important date in the dentable universe. Joane Yamaguchi ( aka Sayaguma ) is born.... Gus S. Calabrese ( aka 99guspuppet ) is hatched..... they survive and hook up in 1995... steady doses of Richard Feynman , Steve Jobs , Jacob Hornberger ( & too many more to mention ) leads to an epiphany ........ SOPHONT2.0
Sophont2.0s will escape the limitations of the lizard brain, of humanity 0.9 , of endless war , politicians , democracy ,....... they will escape into a combination of the cloud , meatspace and man-machine synergy. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtZuYukZOIo ) Sophont2.0 is happening... Hackerspaces are one manifestation of sophont2.0
A sophont does not label themselves or others. Sophonts don't focus on Muslims , or Americans , or La Raza or Christians or terrorists ( terrorist is a label that has lost all meaning.... it is applied to everyone ). Sophonts worship the individual...

Hurray for corporations that don't pay taxes
Hurray for GE Avoiding taxes ( and not accepting corporate welfare ) helps every consumer in America. Taxes are immoral , wasteful and demoralizing.
I applaud anyone who can avoid taxes without harming others ( in the libertarian sense )

FEC Probes Obama's 2008 Campaign Finances
Barack Obama raised a record-shattering $750 million on his way to winning the 2008 presidential election. But that stunning flood of cash has triggered an investigation by the Federal Election Commission, which is taking a detailed look at the campaign's records and transactions, including an unusual number of foreign donations.
Bonds guilty of obstruction of justice
By RONALD BLUM
AP Sports Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Just like the whole Steroid Era: We'll never really know.
Even the one charge that left Barry Bonds a convicted felon didn't specify steroids.
Instead, a federal court jury found the home run king guilty of obstruction of justice Tuesday for giving an evasive answer under oath more than seven years ago. Rather than say "yes" or "no" to whether he received drugs that required a syringe, Bonds gave a rambling response to a grand jury, stating: "I became a celebrity child with a famous father."
The decision from the eight women and four men who listened to testimony during the 12-day trial turned out to be a mixed and muddled verdict on the slugger that left more questions than answers.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston declared a mistrial on the three charges that Bonds made false statements when he told a grand jury in December 2003 that he never knowingly received steroids and human growth hormone from trainer Greg Anderson and that he allowed only doctors to inject him.
U.S. Government Shuts Down 3 Biggest Online Gambling Sites [POLL]
Gambling online just got significantly less convenient Friday when the U.S. Government shut down the three largest Internet gambling sites operating in the United States. Now it’s time for a precedent-setting showdown, where courts will determine if this kind of gambling is legal or not.
Federal prosecutors accused the three founders of the gambling sites and eight others with illegal gambling, bank fraud and money laundering, according to the Financial Times [paywall].
The government also filed a $3 billion civil suit to recover profits from the operations, the Financial Times reported. Gambling sites Full Tilt Poker (Update: which responded to the allegations here), PokerStars and Absolute Poker allegedly disguised billions of dollars of gambling payments as online store purchases of items such as golf balls, jewelry and flowers, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Transportation Chief Looks for Ways to Make Flying Safer
“Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood says that while the government won’t pay air traffic controllers to take naps while on duty, federal officials are open to other options to ensure aviation safety.” (Associated Press)
Here’s an option: Put the airports into the competitive marketplace.

USA is providing punishment and torture model
The USA is providing a punishment and torture model to the rest of the world. The supposed "leader of the free world" is filled with shills and sheeple who seem to want to punish most everyone .... sort of as a hobby, I guess. * Guantanamo ...... no trial , no charges , torture ..... * Doug Bruce ... arbitrary charges, use of the government fist ...... * People on the ground in Afghanistan , Libya, Pakistan , Yemen , etc. .......kill 'em from above with hellfire missiles flown by video-gaming CIA operatives. And so it goes .... ( with apologies to Vonnegut )
The dominant culture in the USA seems to be *** kill 'em and let god sort it out or toss 'em in a bottomless pit and let them rot and die ***
Thank Zeus I am not an american ......... I would be totally embarrassed.

I view wind farms with caution
I am not certain that the impact of wind farms and wave farms on local climates is well understood. I much prefer solar and nuclear solutions. Solar and nuclear can be made with very few moving parts. While I love moving parts , they are are more fragile than solid state stuff.
Google Solar Tower
The design Google is backing looks pretty good.
I look forward to seeing the actual plans ........
I look forward to seeing comparisons with other energy gathering schemes.
I look forward to Google sharing the technology the way Facebook has shared server technology.
There are complaints [ Basin and Range Watch ] that the desert ecosystem will be damaged. I bet the endangered breed of tortoise could actually be better protected within the confines of this installation. I encourage BRW to cooperate with Google in making this work for the tortoises.
