Pork and Puha

September 27, 2009

On July 5th or 6th, 2000, I ordered a Mac’s Gold at the Toot ‘n’ Whistle in Picton.

In New Zealand there is facility to put the goverment under interim administration.  When a hegemonic goverment is prorogued, unconstitutional, and self-serving there must be a mechanism to restore the interest of society.

In Fiji, the sweet sun-ripened vegetarians placed by a Victorian government began to violate the native rights of the settled inhabitants of those islands – a precursor to events in New Zealand where the problem is the police.  George Speight had a right to state his case.  Now there has been a military coup in Fiji.

Ask Ron Marks about the men who looked like the statue called Iwo Jima outside the Beehive and to whom he pointed them out.

Perhaps Fiji is being barred from contributing to the spread of peace in the world because Helen Clark, now at the United Nations in New York, is one of those minions of the germanic, vandalising Victorian adherents of Nietzche and Weishaupt.  They, like their arch-nemesis brothers, divide the world into black and white and expect all to conform to their pyramidic satrapy.

The anti-pope Benedict XVI, heretic and sinister wretch, attempts to perpetrate evil indications and divine intervention under the surface of words of love and life.  His order is corrupt and through action and inaction prevents the achievement of healthy and enjoyable life for a large proportion of the world.  His sick mentality extends to microwaving members of Clan Chattan.

Given the nature of quantum mechanics, how does a puny geek seal a point?

How would one prevent the impossible?

Revolving-door merit

June 15, 2009

Membership of aristocracy is governed by non-negative elevation.

Given a committee as a possible internal mechanism for analysis and resolution, that committee must still have a single organic interface to other entities.

For example, the President of the United States might have a cabinet meeting, but when the president speaks to China at the highest level, the dialogue between the President and China is an interpersonal interaction that becomes recorded as the official conversation between those two nations.

The President changes, but the historical record does not. The president is not the United States, but must still act with full responsibility for the previous conversations and actions of his country.

China should not and does not expect to have to speak to each cabinet member about the same topic or about different aspects of the same topic. Each cabinet member brings a different aspect to bear, and, just as with the kaumatua, the president takes all into consideration to act and phrase the president’s behaviour, statements, and responses.

The Hexagon

May 24, 2009

A neomodern structure with a central courtyard, a number of concentric hubs and apparently random connecting hallways housing representatives of China, Japan, Fiji, Scotland, England, and Russia.

Surrounding the hexagon is a tent city and collection of food halls open only to employees from twelve other countries: Indonesia, Ireland, Sweden, Thailand, Australia, Mexico, Canada, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Holland, and Denmark.

[too many friendly firing incidents to be interoperable with my friends the United States.]

Religion, or more recently, morality is nothing more than a set of norms enforced on inhabitants to limit behaviour. The social contract of Rousseau and Locke has the safety and security of person and property as the core and the benefits of specialisation and cooperation as the bonus.

I accept no unfounded morality. However, once we, in society, have agreed upon some social compact, then we have arrived at contingent morality. Not to say that I would allow rape or abuse. In the wild that wrong would not be repeated by the same person. In society, however, we develop sets of identifying and acceptable behavioural patterns. Do not tell me how to behave except in public or in a situation which grossly affects the public. Although I hold to the principle, the notion of preference frustration is a good guage of the effects of one’s actions.

A paper on the Philosophy of the Natural Sciences in 1997 with Dr. Nick Agar gave me the opportunity to write about the naturalistic fallacy and the ethics of gene therapy.

I have a great problem with the categorical imperative. While all individuals must be treated as being of equal worth, there are those individuals with greater ability who fill positions of greater responsibility and, so one would hope, privilege. There might be seven generals, one in a situation to make a decision. The environment of that situation requires attention and detail, more so than the bed and footlocker in the barracks. But when at home or at a restaurant, the general and the private are equal.

Counter-intelligence codes are an oxymoron nothing like military intelligence.

Given a question requiring intelligence I, and individuals each with intelligence I_i, I_i < I, \forall i, how many individuals would a successful committee require?

If each of n committee members knows n - 1 facts and each committee member does not know a different fact, does the committee know anything?
