The health of the world rightly is and should be of high priority, and the standard of health raised to include transcending time and space. Health is a concept distinct from, for instance, ambition, magnificence, or industrial transformation. The Earth-Moon system was photographed from Mars by the HiRise orbiter and from Saturn by the Cassini orbiter, as well as from space by other probes on their way from Earth to some destination. These photos give Earth a distinct identity and something of a self-concept. It's time to capitalize on that with the highest standards of morality and justice possible.
In particular, war among human beings must be regarded as a pathological condition in which behavior otherwise characteristic of organisms is limited to the insects. While competition for food and other resources may result in one species dominating another, and can even lead to the extinction of a loser, war itself does not take place. Yet war does occur among insects.
It is true that the practice of war has led to refinements of its goals. In no other species does war intent to preserve democracy and the removal of a tyrannical leader. This does not necessarily justify war.

Forward Thinking is a Death Trap
The emerging idea that "Forward Thinking" is the way to go, is little short of the launch sequence for Hitler style Nazi Fascism. Forward thinking is inevitably commandeered by mechanized vehicles, aircraft and bullets. Those are the premises of inhuman, inanimate, untrammeled, cold, heartless logic.
The kind Hitler's SS used. It comes from uncomprehending, barbaric and savage assumptions that the killer, because he lives, is correct; and the victims-those who were killed-were in error, wrong, stupid or weak, valueless and of no consequence. That's one side of a certain kind of African death's head mask that appeared in a movie about the United Nations, "The Interpreter" (2005).
Forward thinking is the original way of becoming a machine-whether by a soldier, regiment, marching band, military establishment, or nation. Forward thinking is what sharks do, as predators racing for their prey.
The United States is changing, and possibly being manipulated. One of manipulations happens by monarchical halving with nobility. That's not necessarily bad. Leadership is better shared. The United States is cognizant of all these issues and accepts good leadership when it presented by other nations. The opinions of others are not to be taken up lightly, of course. Fortunately the United States keeps its head well almost all of the time.

The United States is cognizant of all these issues and accepts good leadership when it presented by other nations. The opinions of others are not to be taken up lightly, of course. Fortunately the United States keeps its head well almost all of the time.
Wikipedia has, "Currently, 44 nations in the world have monarchs as heads of state, 16 of which are Commonwealth realms that recognize Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state. .."
That global encyclopedia also lists
77 monarchies in antiquity, dating back to 3500 BC. to 926 AD
69 monarchies in the Middle Ages and Renaissance from 8th Century to 1752
57 monarchies from Kingdom of England (c. 1630 - 1707 to the 44 monarchies throughout the world at the present time.
Monarchies are not going away anytime soon. They have been among the principle forms of government during the more than five thousand years that spanned the constructions and records which accompanied the attainment of space flight and the determination of the nature of the planets. That nature includes no space aliens, no places to live, and the only two places a human being can walk on and live have no significant air supply. Earth is the only home for human beings for all the forever that matters during the next thousand, probably ten thousand years and more.
Monarchies have a balance of power and the means to attain and enforce it. The future looks best when monarchies and democracies are integral parts of a well designed win-win relationship. Each should cultivate its relation with the others. That's where the phrase "enemies in war, in peace, friends" poses difficulty in the Declaration of Independence. It is why the United States is under increasing pressure to at least be more compliant with the English monarchy, and not assume that all which is suggested by that government is both fail-safe and directs the United States to remain in continual war with somebody, somewhere. Even so, I would not know how to be of value in the best resolution, because I only see the danger from dark asphalt-filled places where decent civil people rarely go.
The future of Earth now is suddenly real. It contains no imagination-driven competition with space monsters, and no felicitous flights to the stars - possibly not ever. For a while, a joke went around that God made the universe exceedingly large and put the stars far away from each other in order that the inhabitants would not collude lightly or, more likely, ever. It may be we won't go flying to the stars anytime in the next million years, or ever. Time of course will tell, and Junior is shouting, "I've got the answer already!"
Constitutional monarchies are only a hairsbreadth from the Constitutional Republic that exists in the United States. Numerous citizens on both sides of the border between the United States and Canada are fostering unification of the two nations. The same is true of the border with Mexico. These movements are also in a context of a more broadly defined United North America. The author does not know much about these ideas and won't go into them here. Suffice it to say, modern genealogical research in the human genome has returned proven results even if there is a little more caffeine in the wool than one would expect. Democracy and monarchy might get along famously someday, even before flying to the stars. Look: the Russians are patching their own noble character back together after something dark in their character made them murder their royal family and dump them down a mine shaft. Now, they are finding their favorite families again.
It's enough to say that U.S.-Mexico unification turns up 1,290,000 hits on Google, U.S.-Canada unification shows 238,000, and United North America returns 131,000,000 results. That's 131 million.
One of the things that makes this seriously possible is that the cosmology is now understood to be the same for every person on the entire planet, no matter what their favorite parts are. Space flight gave the Earth a future concept that just does not stop. In fact, on thinking a few hundred years into the future, it takes off and racks of hundreds of thousands, and then millions and hundreds of millions of years. Two hundred twenty million years and Andromeda and the Galactic Center are again just 121 degrees apart.
That's one of the reasons the economy is wondering what to do. The future in economic terms spans aeons that are just simply mind-boggling. Little definite action to change the world's constructions can be taken until there is a better sense of agreement on what, in that long future, was
a. Invented and used in the past and is worth keeping forever, such as agriculture;
b. Was of primitive origin or recent invention that was more trouble and grief than good.
c. What new things need to be invented, and maybe
d. What new things should not be invented. After all, there are infinite possibilities, and the right of choice as well.
Several generations will be spend putting these things into new perspectives. Few major changes in the historical development of technology became obvious quickly in the past. Now, in media made possible by that very technology, the most astonishing thing is the emergence of new technology. Silicon is in the wild.
Forward thinking is just a way of deceiving the gullible into jumping into a future so long that it cannot be predicted, just because one can move forward rapidly in a spaceship, airplane, car or boat or on foot. Forward thinking was what the German gunners thought when they moved mechanized cannot, and what they thought when they shipped human beings into speeding cattle cars. Forward thinking is a way of carrying the head so much faster than the legislative powers that it becomes indifferent to the value of life. Life is then reduced to road kill, and made into some kind of gunk on the asphalt, like happens to the wildlife. Forward thinking is a way of crossing too many railroad tracks on a bike at a narrow angle. The machine driven decisions can make people do bad things like kill.
Forward thinking was not pretty then and it is not pretty now. It will be worse if it is taken seriously by the American people, or by any large population in the world. It should not drive the economic takeover.
If you must think carefully, do it in privacy, speak of your thoughts rarely, and weigh your decisions carefully in a motionless chair. Please, be very certain and very careful if you institute "forward thinking" as national policy. It would be used to drive database searches in discriminatory classification. Those drove Hitler's decisions when he used data from the machines to choose populations for his pogroms. Machine decisions led him to plan to exterminate the entire Jewish population. Then when you communicate you can say things you have already thought through.
This question has been in front of amateurs and professionals alike always, but especially after the first small computers became available in the 1970's and 1980's. A sort of poem was circulated then, about how different groups of people started disappearing. "First they came for the idiots. Then they came for the..." The groups began to consist of increasingly familiar people, but up to a point, there were others who remained in existence. Yet finally, the narrator says "Now they're coming for me." Several events have taken place since then, that have obscured that precaution and it is worth remembering again.
Please, DON'T buy into forward thinking, even if it is a favorite slogan in car companies.

Most Habitable Place Doctrine
The gradient between order and chaos is fundamental throughout the universe, and its distribution appears to be locally determined in locally distinct ways. The order and chaos distribution in each star system is relatively (though not perfectly) isolated from other star systems. Some regions of stars in any galaxy such as the Milky Way would be more ordered, others less.
This is like the fact that in a house, warmth is closer to the furnace and kitchen heat. It is why there is more business to be had nearer the center of the galaxy than on its outskirts. It is just like London.
Order and chaos gradients are inevitable and chance is continual and implacable. These are like conservation of angular or rotational momentum laws that cause Uranus and Venus to be retrograde. Where things are very cold, entropy (a measure of disorder) is very low because of low temperature, and little of the randomizing thermal energy. Where things are of more moderate temperature, entropy kept low by the formation of chemical molecules of flexible form and action that deals with thermal disorder by such activities as sweating, swimming and manufacturing air conditioners.
Entropy is relatively low in most places in one way or another because the average entropy of the universe is extremely low. It is high only in the relatively small (compared with the vast expanses of space-time between stars) and extremely hot objects like stars.
Where temperatures are at neither extreme, entropy gradient activity is inevitable. Competition emerges, and lower entropy objects which are hard (for instance as measured on the Mohs scale) slowly or quickly crash through lower entropy objects that are soft. In short, they compete. It is even more inhuman than the nasty, brutish and short, or the terrible carnivorous, zero-sum predator-prey relationships of wild planets and animals. Hard crystals simply grow through soft crystals, and totally displace the constituent particles of the softer substances. They always do that wherever both find the nutrient molecules of which each is composed. One can purchase crystal growing kits that demonstrate this activity from science warehouses like Edmund Scientific. If you have not understood this, you should make that purchase. The kits are not expensive.
In any dynamic environment things are constantly in stir, and so they evolve. A fluid environment may or may not be absolutely necessary, yet it certainly seems to increase the probability of life forming. Some crystal forming life-like or living molecules result in soft, not hard crystals. Others are not terribly choosy about what kind of molecules they use, as long as they are in a similar pattern; DNA is composed of remarkably caffeine-like molecules. People may drink beverages other than coffee on other worlds or at other star systems.
Adaptive molecules are virus-like molecules. One of the events that shed great light on this was the synthesis of the tobacco mosaic molecule. Molecules that become highly ordered gradually (aka through millions of years) and eventually form cells. They do this by accumulating a peripheral garden of molecules valuable to themselves and keeping it clear of offensive molecules. The boundary of the garden is at a half wavelength of the most abundant light from the parent star. Most cells on Earth are spherical or nearly so, and about the same diameter as one wavelength of the brightest wavelength of light of the Sun. That brightest wavelength is half of one micron. Hold a meter stick and look at the millimeters. Imagine one millimeter is similarly divided into a thousand equal parts. Half of one of those parts is the diameter of one cell. One human cell, one dog or fish, bat or skunk, whale or mouse cell. The only cells very much different are nerve and sex cells.
That is why the cell membrane is about half a wavelength of light
In a double star system, cells would have double hulls. Jupiter is a really small star and its brightest radiation is about five microns. Cells may be found on Earth which have an exterior membrane 2.5 microns from the nucleus. Cells typically reproduce by mitosis, cleaving into halves. Some cells in very ancient (Archaean) times billions of years ago flunked mitosis and failed to separate completely.
One would think such mutations would all die, but no. A few of those peculiar creatures survived to form dimeric cells that actually gathered food and lived. At first those lived only short lives struggling to live full lives and cleave in mitosis. Eventually some of those succeeded, cleaved and reproduced to form two dimers. Perhaps at first those reverted to monera. Some of their descendants failed dimer reproduction and had three cells. Eventually some trimera managed reproduction. The situation is simple enough that one can imagine several ways of succeeding as mitosis gradually evolved into sex. When quatromeres and pentameres emerged, successful multicelled reproduction was probably so sophisticated that early organ differentiation was beginning. One cell would be the boss, and eat. Other cells were not the boss.
As mistakes continue, the frequency of survivors increases and just as one might figure, some of the critters reproduced into two dimers that in turn, cleaved successfully themselves. A species of viable, persistent two-celled creatures had come into being. We grope our way along with many or few mistakes and many or few errors. Those who survive inherit the Earth. Those who comprehend not are occasionally heard to say that those who avoid making mistakes are cheating, and it is why those who avoid making mistakes are sometimes caught by surprise by the hardness of those who inevitably err and live in a darkness composed of not only the absence of light, but to a great extent, the absence of order.
From the very start, individual organisms survive in part because they keep, care for and cultivate their environment. At first that was just the part of population which, at random, happened to take better care even of the other part of the population that did not. Those that cared for their environments in ways that led to longer survival and greater chances of reproducing successfully to produce surviving offspring were those which determined the concept of "better". As organisms learned to say, "Some people have all the luck" they also began to wonder just what luck was. Asked, the successful almost invariably said it was too complicated to explain. Reflecting on it themselves, they at some point realized that life is very complex and they could not possibly know all about. Whatever the whole was, it had to have a simple name.
That is like asking a successful person how it is that he is successful. When he explains, it becomes clear that success is caused by many factors, only some of which each person knows of himself personally. If he or she is competent, he may say "I inherited this from a particular grandparent", "That is from my father" and "this ability is from mother". Talking about the Good, one soon understands there is so much of it that it cannot be described in detail in every conversation. The word 'good' needs an abbreviation. The word god is that. Understood well, people capitalize on the concept, and it is capitalized as "God".
The word God means very, very much.
The word God means approximately "All the good that can be made of everything that is." To a human beings, God is at least anthropomorphic, yet at the same time represents all the good of existence throughout the world, especially this beautiful, fertile and living planet Earth, and with quite reasonable extension, everywhere in the Universe. A reasonable limitation is "all inhabited worlds".
These are differently resolved, but the best meaning is relatively consistent among all people. Nihilists do little but degrade conversation and do not succeed in eliminating God's existence.
Symmetry helps in understanding such things. Bilateral symmetry is as ancient as fishes. That is why prayer is a particular form of activity. Each attribute of the environment is a small part of the great whole of existence. The smallness and often delicate fragility of those parts of that realm of phenomena which constitute God, things Holy and oneself, requires humility. One does not learn from small flowers or other tiny organisms that have nonetheless survived for millions of years in a huge, dangerous world without humility.
Writing about such things is like being in a candy shop. There are so many good and valuable things one can say. At the same time, so many terrible events are unfolding in the world that eventually one must leave off, perhaps to submit the form to the public. What will become of Northern Africa now that the planet's form is proved and the nature of light is unfolding?
they begin predation, trade and war, and eventually learn to use the internet to purchase things at home.
The theory is, order-chaos gradients of entropy and confusion in any star system always emerge in a ubiquitous pattern that is the same throughout the universe. In this pattern, the probability of life is closest to 0, Zero in the least habitable places and is 1, Unity in the most habitable places in that star system.
This provides justification for those who believe that life is so frequent in the universe that one can hardly look at the stars without going into a bargain contract with the extraterrestrials. These, of course, are not God. They are just critters. It's fortunate they are far away.
If they are.

EARTH PEOPLE ATTAIN MOON, ECONOMIES MASSIVELY DEVOLVE
The five thousand year Hand of Millennia project by Earth to reach its Moon finally attained success yesterday when Neil Armstrong placed his foot on the old visible satellite. The event signaled a new willingness to find more ways to work through peace than continue the tragic struggles to accomplish anything significant and new through war.
Unfortunately, Terran economies are collapsing almost to the idiocy of rural life everywhere. Almost every technology including architecture since millions of years earlier had been developed with the goal of flying to the Moon in mind. As a result, most industrial development was massively overconstructed and highly energetic, which places a premium on fast forward.
The collapse was not unexpected although because of its magnitude it will require extensive redesign of prevailing economic forms. Earth people are busy as cats on a tin roof trying to balance old, obviously valuable forms and mercifully exorcise the erroneous. One pattern, the form of government, consists of two parts-monarchy and community. Monarchs see the community as hordes and swarms of individuals. Communities often produce outspoken people who accuse monarchies of being selfish, greedy pigs.
Just what comes of this old familiar struggle for Earth remains to be seen.

Unanticipated Future Implications
Assume housing shelter and clothing, and food and water will be irreplaceably essential factors throughout the next million years
Then in the long run, what kinds of ideas will be gathered by the whole population in determining an optimum broad, tolerant gradient between essential and inessential economic activities? These are conditions that will eventually exist for a very long time, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. How extensive can inessential activity be during a hundred millennia?
Five thousand years of development has successfully attained the Moon and returned the long sought understanding of the Sun, Moon, other planets and Earth itself, Those five millennia were the hand of millions of years of human evolution, including sweeping the bones out of the cave door and migrating to avoid the waste
Recently, years a massive garbage glut are sweeping Southern Italy. Attempts have been made to ship the garbage north.
Instead, the collapse itself, of waste disposal systems, itself is likely to move north. It occurs when the industrial market technology and infrastructure, created for the final struggle to reach the Moon, itself collapses into garbage.
With that all clear, one most likely catastrophe appears to be failure of the waste disposal systems to keep up with the trashed industrial market refuse and the collapsing infrastructure
Instinct and evolution have little or no remaining interest in the Moon, Sun, or other planets, because none of them appear suitable as habitations for life. Life does not exist on any of them, and no living beings, plants or animals exist which might constitute threats to Earth.
That simple, huge, crude scenario is obscured by intrigues, strategies, plots, and doomsday and other scenarios in case of conflict. Worse, unresolved tension over the collapse and garbage problems may be aggravating international tensions.
If industrial collapse of that sort takes place, it will likely cause massive unemployment which is possibly already under way and that is likely to obscure the need to increase simple food and shelter supplies, distribution and availability and prevent the design of economic systems capable of handling these areas
Fundamental, pragmatic economic and human psychology and character studies would have to concentrate on what human beings can or should be doing if sophisticated industrial production and the research that supports it collapses.
A response among the common people about the results of space flight was a recognition of these factor
There exists no breathable air, no significant water, no beings, animals or plants, no threats except asteroids, and no place to live except on Earth
Existing and rapidly growing massive human populations do not see significant importance in advanced forms of research and production and aggressively new artificial technology since only Earth remains to populate
A subterranean implication is that human reproduction is considering going back to seasonal fertility instead of fertility all year round
The evolved, natural, unavoidable and aggressive human need to eat living organisms and the urge to reproduce of course remains and predominates,
The populations do see that construction of houses and agricultural production of food has importance. They are eager, even longing, for some kind of roles related to the traditional patterns found in rural life where jobs were not only simple but largely self- evident, in both the construction and maintenance of houses and farms, in animal husbandry and the raising of crops. But the problem is so primitive that even irrigation will have to be introduced anew to populations that have lived several generations in the urban constructions
This whole problem is similar to the issues of removing hydroelectric dams, of re-establishing carnivores such as wolves, and of curtailing the massive slaughter of oceanic animals and other aquatic wildlife
These issues are compelling yet they are not often recognized in rational terms yet, at least not in so many words. In any case, the present situation appears to be one of incipient emerging potential for massive collapse of CERTAIN COMPONENTS of the entire technological infrastructure dating all the way back to the start of pyramid constructions and irrigation. Other components are almost self- evident, and consist primarily of food and shelter. Some important new developments are likely to be found very much worth continuing and propagating, such as insurance and other forms of collective preparation.
This author cannot be more specific, as the issue is extraordinarily vague even though it is important although it is well resolved in the specific agencies responsible for essentials, agriculture and food, and shelter and housing. Clothing would be another essential, transportation and communications are highly important, though both need to be trimmed down. NOT to bare essentials because that is much too austere and alarming. They need to be trimmed of extravagance, though not of celebration and more moderate, less deceptive advertising. Corporations design new and more expensive, more costly cars and appliances like birds flap their wings
Many new designs, and the jobs in which people are employed doing them, have little or nothing to do with broadening the base of important essential factors and increasing the way in which massive populations of otherwise unemployed people can contribute to its maintenance.
Then in the long run, what kinds of ideas will be gathered by the whole population in determining an optimum broad, tolerant gradient between essential and inessential economic activities? These are conditions that will eventually exist for a very long time, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. How extensive can inessential activity be during a hundred millennia?
Five thousand years of development has successfully attained the Moon and returned the long sought understanding of the Sun, Moon, other planets and Earth itself, Those five millennia were the hand of millions of years of human evolution, including sweeping the bones out of the cave door and migrating to avoid the waste
