I've retired, but now I'm committing to this - Science! And I'm ready to offer up a better explanation for some of our problems. Guess what's not included?

The tenth commandment from the Bioble, the holy book of the evolving Church of Science is reviewed.

Chaos is the opposite of order. Kaos was the opposition to Control in the old TV series Get Smart. That show was a spoof on the Cold War actions represented in mass media back in the 1960's - which I grew up with.

The Cold War was the last act of the 20th century conflict that started in Serbia and ended in Berlin. The Great War, its sequel WW II, and The Cold War were the summation of evolutionary selection for democracy over autocracy. Prior to the 20th century, we had aristocratic autocracies running their colonial empires. What we ended up with in the 1990's and moving forward were civilizations with a preference for democratic governments and capitalist market economies.

For the last forty years, the evolutionary competition has been between democratic governance and open markets. The markets are winning. Democracy requires stability so that we can have reasonable discussions about problems. Markets are managed by economic aristocrats who prefer short term profits to worrying about long term problems. That's why the economic forces favor chaos. As long as they keep people arguing and worrying about whatever issues can be dredged up, there are fewer opportunities to Question Authority, and change the rules.

When you're hungry, it's harder to make decisions. Judges assign longer sentences before lunch than they do after lunch. Humans build civilization to stabilize life, we try to minimize hungers and biological impulses. We try to make better decisions to have more resources, and stabilize our lives.

But that's not what we have in America. We have decided on chaotic rules based on unregulated capitalism and mystical beliefs. We select for social patterns that isolate people and encourage greed and envy. We'll all get to see how that plays out starting Jan. 20th of next year.

I love sports. The process of playing or watching people compete within a defined set of rules is so marvelously civilized. Way different than warfare, where life and death are the measures of success.

Sports are based on intellectual agreements that define the physical and behavioral parameters for a competition. I want to examine sports from the perspective of evolution, and look at how the major social adaptations play out in that aspect of our modern civilizations.

I don't know if it happens to others, but when I hear certain terms mangled in usage by non-professionals, it bothers me. One of the things that happens in any professional field is certain words are invested with specific meanings. Words capture ideas, which is mental information in the purest form.

Since I've been trying to build a model for artificial selection based on mental information, it's important to clarify terms. A hypothesis, in science, has a very specific definition. A testable hypothesis is the only pathway to increasing the amount of knowledge from science. Knowledge is what we need more of in order to control artificial selection.

The current upcoming reign of Donald I in Amerika will be an interesting test of one hypothesis. What will happen when the regulations on a capitalist economy are lowered within a democratic society? As opposed to having ideas generated from belief in democracy, the main ethical code for the next four years (hopefully it will only be 4...) will be to grab as much as you can. How will that turn out?

Probabilistic Ethics, that's the ticket. I have a plan...

Well, it's done. All sales are final. We made the decision in America to trust the orange parasite to lead us to a promised land. I plan to try to watch and report on as much as I can stomach. America altered its evolutionary path, and is now going toward a less perfect union in my humble opinion.

Well, I was hoping that it wouldn't happen, but it did. A human who is most qualified to be the leader of the Thieves Guild has been elected, again. If one is a mature responsible adult, often referred to as a professional, I can only imagine you are as stunned as I.

During this phase of human civilization, the Colonial Era, we are still allowing the misconception to be spread through our social messaging that there shouldn't be any limits. We should keep pushing for what we want, and if something breaks along the way we will deal with it then.

This allows the economy to ultimately drive all of our decisions. But a professional gets the job done, within whatever limits there are. Because reality gives us limits, and professionals deal with reality.

The last podcast before the 2024 US election. I can't wait to see what happens. Things seem a little stressed in my neck of the woods. But I live in 'MAGA' country, and the locals are acting like they're worried. So, that's a good thing from my perspective.

Maybe we'll take a step back toward a more reasonable civilization. We will see....
