Dear Fqxi, dear all, I need your help to all, alone we are nothing, I know that all is obliged to live on this planet and that you have all responsabilities, I know this global system and the fact that we are humans with our psychology also, I know that it is not easy to follow a person , but I cannot do it alone , I just want that the thinkers general and universal explain their global solutions simply, it is not complicated, we just need to create this paper of solutions, a kind of manifest where all wins, like I explained I beleive strongly that this industrialisation of our solar system is a key like this liberation of funds logically in respecting this global economical system. We must boost and catalyse these 197 governments , they must create jobs, the AI arrive and many are going to loose their jobs in a near future. There are also others things to improve , the ecology, the economy, the education, this and that , in fact we have many roads of improvements, that is why I d like to have your ideas with sciences and consciousness, you knw I am not better and I don t want to be a leader, we just create a team and a manifest to convice this UN, they must understand that we are obliged to adapt us and all wins I repeat, the richest like the poorest, at this present children die in africa and many on this earth loose hope and have difficulties to adapt themselves to this system, it is not universal nor rational respecting these universal laws,sometimes we must a little bit forget our vanity and life and be general and universal, what are we if we dont make this ? can we accept this global system even if we evolve and have improved many things, it lacks the essential, the universalism, I am not better than the others but I beleive strongly that it is sad if we don t act and change knowing that these solutions exist, we have created a system and so we can continue in improbving it. I know that this vanity is a problem and that many probably have solutions but don t want to write them, I find this sad.fqxi is a t New York and New York can save this planet and we can utilise all the concrete tools to reach this aim, the celebrities, the UN, the medias .....Alone we are nothing I repeat, but united and unified, all is possible, so please dear all, be real universalists and be conscious that we are obliged to change for the well of all lifes on earth, our potential is incredible and we can do it , yes we can, it is not an utopy but a logic step of evolution, a necessary step I d say even. Take care , friendly

Hi FQXi, all,

Many thinkers and humans have the ideas to solve , many have this potential on this earth but have not the sponsors or helps of main global systems, the majority prefers to make business unfortunally. To follow a system, the people needs concrete things , they dont follow like this, and the vanity also must be taken into account unfortunally, but the humility and the fact that we are all linked and equals is the most important also and it is a kind of real universal wisdom.

This reality is a truth unfortunally , the most sad is that the real universalists revolutionary and wise having solutions exist everywhere on this earth in all countries, my aim is to unite these persons but it is a very difficult ptoject knowing that all we are obliged to follow a system implying obligations-

and furthermore many follow a system when this system is credible in potential, in medias, and in fiinancial potential unfortunally, they are not ready to just follow systems like this, they need concrete things , it is sad because that proves that the notoriety, the marketing, the monney are the main fuels of people

    Einstein said :" the world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything"

    Requesting valid falsification of block model as a proven panacea; Think of it: Correct group think.

    L.S.

    Emeritus professor Richard Gill told me to put my concept infographic book online and to bring it under your attention as well.

    There is a 3 page English Intro under the summary button and a long English summary to grasp some of the Dutch infographics [link: www.ddeb-acic.nl] world wide web. ddeb-acic.nl

    I just started an open Facebook group More Millionaires No Poor No War link via the site.

    As well as a private one under a slightly different name. You can contact me.

    In short:

    Whilst working on a multimedia project also containing an as yet in concept info graphic book ZIEL, I became aware of Dr Ingo Piepers research on the physics of human war and conflict.

    His research is consistent with my model of the human brain

    My model has now been tried and tested in practice. It works!

    I thought that I would still have plenty of time to get the financing etc. in order taking say another three to four years to get artists to set up the multimedia affair in a professional way. Knowing that humanity will like most historians believe a new world war will sooner or later start because history repeats itself. That is to say when you don't look too close or not close enough and we humans keep making the same error in thinking what we humans are. Ultimately leading to world wars.

    The block model is a proven game changer in this respect as mathematician and coauthor Hans Waalwijk agrees.

    Although prof Richard Gill and I haven't checked his Ingo's data, and we both have serious doubts whether he's not overstating his position too much in claiming that his model shows that WW III will start in 2020 or at the latest 2022. The problem is I can't disprove that claim either.

    Furthermore Ingo's model is in several ways an eye-opener for me. Not having spotted the silence before the storm lulling me into a false sense of security. And only thanks to him spotting the same algorithm in the many law cases / dossiers as a redline in the many data concerning situations - like countries also have - in which partners mostly due to financial constraints can't split up. Ingo has indeed confirmed me that that is the way he sees it as well. And it made me see the history of wars differently.

    Hence the hurry.

    My friend Richard Gill and I vehemently disagree on several issues, yet are totally agreed on how evidence and proof in law should work via my in effect Bayesian model for teaching this to lawyers.

    We also fully agree on my point that people who don't have a decent income can't think properly, for the need to focus on financial survival. It leads to stress. Another point is that people also can't think properly when the peer group / or peer groups of the brain have stress. The model proves all human rights via its algorithms.

    I.e. when the parents have stress the kids have stress, and will first usually start to misbehave, or show signs of burn out followed by more serious mental disorders. This works both ways. Kids stress is parents stress. And when as a businessman your clients have stress, you even unwittingly (!) will have stress because clients are your peers. All sorts of coping mechanisms come to play, yet the root cause is easily taken away by spotting that every human that behaves him or herself is as a fundamental not only legal, yet now via the block model proven best practice of human physics entitled to a decent wage as a function of half the GNP of the country / state you live in. Otherwise in the long run you will have overstressed the system causing literally suicidal amok! Akin what Dr Ingo shows!

    Not having a guaranteed decent wage is per definition slavery. That is already forbidden by law and treaties BTW.

    Furthermore my model shows that anyone who opposes this is - directly or indirectly a mostly unwitting or sometimes addicted - a slave trader. And, slave traders can't think properly either for focusing on how to keep the enslavement brain game going.

    Although I'm frightfully nonreligious it is just like what Jesus said: "forgive them lord for they don't know what they're doing."

    Oddly enough the block model shows the way how a Hindu type cast system but then a fair one as a base economy with on top of that a capitalist system is the only way it can work in this model. Leftwing, right wing and religious politics are in all our DNA. All nurture is nature in this model.

    The major problem is now that what we humans are is inherently religious in the sense that it is neurologically internalized hypnotics as a survival trait.

    It requires a paradigm shift that is a bit like performing exorcism. We are in my model as said prof. Dick Swaab type (classically mechanically quantum DNA) robots with no free will or meaning of life who need to due to lack of absolute proof and axiomatic baring inconsistencies on basis of the in my model most fundamental mathematical formula of brain and cosmos the Bayesian inference do the opposite: build a meaning to life and take it we do have a free will. The model is oddly enough consistent with all world religions taken as inspirational metaphors. Science is an inherent religion too yet to be taken literally when staying > 99% consistent with all data and Bayes.

    At the moment and probably even for you, this will scare you and as Prof Swaab also states your brain will focus on the inverse: everything I write is deemed wrong. You then thus unwittingly hypnotically do what gives us lawyers justly a bad name. The synapse of our brain works Bayesian as does the order function of the cosmos.

    Anyway, un-fathomly complex dynamically changing complex systems you shouldn't discuss on a stated opinion for that is then incorrect use of the argument of authority (namely not as a prior odds yet as a posterior odds) but test in a timely fashion.

    I've made several predictions in the past that have been published under peer review NWA 2015 KNAW and have subsequently been detected: Higgs field, the Maltese cross photon (explaining that even better than science still not can do BTW), and gravity waves. I simply applied my legal Bayesian system on it and bingo! Predictable results. And, I also had put the forgotten instrument between the ears then. The search terms "casus ZPE" and "het vergeten instrument tussen de oren" where deleted so I could no longer find my 21 questions with clarifications in the many other questions. After a while having sent my then still untested block model to FQXi it became a million dollar prize question NWA didn't pick up on!

    The human brain ONLY works in a proper group that anyone can learn to spot:

    Actually the whole system will start working when everybody grasps that just by reaching consensus with the minority people with clear resounding voices (who always have irony and can learn to compose jazzy style music, such as Barack and Michelle Obama) after these having learned how to put the team in the correct order using their own instrument between the ears correctly. And strictly follow the Bayesian formula in numbers, words or pictures of the weighing machine keeping everything consistent. You use thus the algorithms and Bayesian formula to train the brain to think properly and get the team in order and work correctly without ego as a team on important issues. The model proves that we are all idiots. And only in certain areas of talent highly gifted. The genius of the model is that it isn't genius at all. My type is a 1/125 affair. And > 99% of it is well stolen old school stuff. Adding just a twist to mathematics and the block model.

    As a quick triage to steed it up further:

    Irony is an exact scientific fact that can be put on video. To be spotted by 60% of humanity. 90% females and 20% males. i.e. 40% of humanity doesn't have this ability for not being good enough at the geometry to spot paradoxes in the cosmos either.

    Abstract Logic is that as well of course yet 40% of humanity lacks this ability as do most Dutch judges. 80% females and 10% males. No talent for mathematics only up to the degree that everyone has to learn to blindly / religiously follow the book.

    The 20% that have both these talents 50% male and 50% female don't have talent to follow the book / bible.

    Always test outside the inherent religious comfort zone.

    Speed of brain is somewhat more difficult to spot, yet is the basis for the cast system that everyone will deem fair.

    Less than 1% exceptions that then will have neigh certain serious anxiety problems. This model has no geniuses.

    This block model will save science as well. Scientists at the moment can't think straight either.

    We are probably to late yet, testing in the Netherlands and on the Antilles will render immediate results as I've shown in the Meinesz murder case as a lawyer. This because we Dutch with the Polder politics were nearly there and then started to follow the U.S.A. and we are now also politically decomposing.

    Check it out. Try to provide valid falsification with Hans Waalwijk checking the logic. You may provide more mathematicians. Force psychologists to point out where the block model is inconsistent with any behavioral science.

    I already know they can't yet no one dares to speak up afraid of an attack by their peers. The block model is something every 12 year old high school kid should learn to play at beginners level.

    Humanity should stop earning money by solving problems we have created ourselves. It overstressed the system.

    Also banks and the rich will see that this is best for them as well.

    Regards,

    Gerhard Ris

      Hello Mr Ris,

      Thanks for sharing this Block Model, I have created this group of global collaboration to share all the ideas possible to convice this UN and all are welcome to give their models and ideas. The most important for me is thjat we must adapt us to this global actual system economical even if I beleive that the money is a stupid invention, we are obliged to make with this actually. Its utilisation can be rational if the consciousness is correlated. We evolve and we can solve these global problems. In this group where the aim is to create a manifest of solutions adapted to convice this UN is to be rational and wise , we shall not taken into account the religious thoughts and the utopist solutions. I am interested to know more about your block model and how we can be deterministic with its concrete solutions, I repeat but we must adapt us to the global actaiul system and the fact that all wins also is essential, could you resume please these solutions in ecolgy for example, economy, technology, sociology, researchs, sciences, education, we need to be concrete and deterministic, thanks still for sharing, regards it seems interesting that you tell also that all wins, the banks like the richest, we are obliged indeed to change and evolve converging with our universal laws.

      Dear Steve,

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be more legally precise for a UN the block model is in the basis just one A4 and it deterministically proves the five algorithms at play in the mammal brain being humans mammals. It shows that money isn't part of our DNA, yet it is of course important as a logical derivative that is used. For a Christian I'd say indeed do not worship Mammon, the money devil.

      It mathematically within physics elevates the soft sciences to exact sciences. And so proves that not having a decent wage as a function of the GNP of a community / country is legally slavery. That is already forbidden by treaty. Alas this humans being or not being mammals is of course inherently religious, yet most religions are practical when it comes to trade and money. For the block model is consistent with all world religions when taken as a metaphor. Science proper is a religion to yet to be taken literally.

      It can in the Netherlands be quickly further tested for we Dutch where nearly there with our polder politics system that went astray when we followed the US style neo liberal system and stopped polder politics. Best also quickly test it on the Dutch Antilles. What happens when they agree to implement the model. As an extra because of not having had ideal training and education in the test we may provide in a host of teachers. When you use proper group think consistent with the block model you will as a community / organization always take the correct optimal decision. In effect the Dutch magistrates have already been chosen correctly for the specific job of doing law. The only problem is they still only per hap chance work together in the correct team. When the team is formed it works in effect automatically. For instance the Dutch following French law since 1848 already stated the youngest judge in chambers speaks first. In effect you use a Theory U type system in which all ego is taken out of the process. And you do the OODA loop twice. I think MIT already worked with this to great effect. Well in effect that is it really for when taking correct decisions you start solving literally all problems of humanity.

      I predict on the Antilles that are in dire straits with high criminality lots of mental problems will quickly snap out of it. As far as no permanent brain damages have been afflicted everybody will start to behave. Decent bread and decent games is the trick even the Romans knew worked. In effect we bribe everyone to behave and start permanent excellent education of everyone.

      The basic thing is extremely practical. By only putting your team in order (your team is always in your larger DNA family B.T.W.) and strictly follow the well-known Bayesian mathematical formula (the synapse of our brain works Bayesian as the chip is also documented in neurology.).

      The fundamental thing is that we have four speeds of brain distributed in a normal distribution 10%-40%-40%-10%. As a metaphor to visualize how easy the basics can be taught to kids it shows (I successfully modelled the brain as a say 90% correct guess on a game of chess (would work on a game of Go as well I guess) the DNA start position of the - collective! - mammal brain. As with chess the game can be played at different levels. The more nuance is used the stronger this models predictions become.

      To make it even more easy for kids to grasp:

      10% TGV far above average fast trains.

      40% Inter City above average fast trains

      40% Commuter below average fast trains

      10% Marshalling yard far below average trains.

      Less than 1% deviation of broken DNA with acute anxiety problems.

      A TGV is a hopeless marshaling yard train and vice versa. I'm an evident TGV when you believe the drawings have been made by me. Yet you should go through the whole of the algorithms to check. You can only fool the system and yourself for a short while and why would you want to? My Achilles heel is that I over complicate things. A Murphys law. A well trained marshalling lock simply can't make that mistake. On average 10% of problems the cosmos throws at us / any organization is far below average complex but failing to spot that in time and you don't reach whatever important goal is the probandum.

      There are of course various ways you can do this. In effect it is wrong that I show you how it should be done for group think is first required. But still:

      When you take the GNP of a country take half of that and say everyone joins in as a voluntary civil servant. You make ten levels around these four. Jail, bankrupt, basic income that no one should remain in for any longer period of time, then every time a quanta more M lock, Commuter, IC, TGV, then Dr, Prof and ultimately laureate level. In effect it is what we Dutch already know as the Balkenende norm that no civil servant is allowed to earn more than the PM.

      It is in everybody's interest that say > 90% of TGV's reach the highest forms of education. I.e. become neurologists etc. Well then when they know that if they behave and play along that is guaranteed then everybody is happy. With 20% open to completion say lawyers compete with lawyers you have sufficient pressure to do your best. Shame and guilt are all part of what is written in the algorithms of the brain.

      For all small businesses and companies schools and what not the cost of labor has if need be fully gone. Internet killing small shops will thus no longer be a problem. Half the income could be in the form of a claw back via insurances on lawyers dentists and other things like housing. You may chose in a democratically to be decided min-max way. For instance in part to consume less and have the money destroyed. (Don't bore me with the details problem.)

      For the rich and mighty it is win-win as well, for the fear of you or your family being kidnaped will be gone. The trick here is to dived wealth and income into private wealth and income say in the Netherlands € 120000 a year maximum for a couple thus twice that amount. And maximum private wealth € 24 million. Corporate wealth of a privately owned firm say Lamborghini signore Lamborghini is the boss and stays the boss deciding not to build tractors yet sports cars. His wealth in the firm works as an insurance. His house of a million burns down by accident than he can pay 1 million taxes and put a million in his private income.

      The basic thing is that the DNA of us humans want or will go mad either per group: 10% freedom of thought, 10% freedom of relationship (these the open minded 20 % thus minority that should be given a voice) ; 20% respect (authoritarian types); 60% want security / certainty. So there it is money can indeed buy that.

      In order to do this the Senates of the world must be made to change into a different sort of representation advisory body in permanent senate hearing behind closed doors. R&D must always be done behind closed doors. They can quickly in the Netherlands do this as a test to become senators for life if the test succeeds. No longer a lawmaking body but an advisory body of part timers with boots in the dirt. All personality types also marshaling locks still doing cleaning jobs but with laureate level income are the neural network of the senate talking also to the senates of the world. Already payed for remember so five companies of two hundred in the five areas that are needed. Shift every so often. Every year 10 twenty two year old woman and 10 same age men become apprentice senators for life. An advisory body to anyone that wisdom requires, that are very much in the know. Like the Greeks knew you need an Oracle. The reason is we simply can't understand each other. It is done via hypnotic HRM marketing, advertising and HRM/Sales is in our DNA. Hypnotics is a survival trait.

      The 50% + 1 vote system is for dealing with inherent group interests. And is therefore balanced out. For when the oracle speaks......

      Well then the other half of the GNP is for grabs. I predict a normal distribution will ensue of wealth and income with more millionaires even under marshalling locks and no poor. This no war.

      Well you would need to study the site. Yet as a brain game. When the A 4 of the block model goes viral it will already be a run race. Like E=mc2 even if you don't understand, just say you do. In itself a brain game.

      Regards Gerhard

      Dear Steve,

      An after diner ad on, the more fundamental change to the entire system then would be that the wise judge doesn't have loopholes in the law on important issues. This can only be done when the legal system is organized correctly. It will also work with a jury system. Just get the jury chosen via the block model as well. And the choice for trial by judge or jury should not be one of plea bargaining. The block model shows that you must have the right to a double trial. It will in effect always lead to the choice of trial by judge for the outcome will be the same yet the time of the court case is much shorter.

      The fundamental problem at the moment is that people without irony yet with logic have "magic" gains and vice versa people with no logic yet irony have those gains like "magic" as well. Yet it invariably leads to an Dr Ingo Piepers scenario, of war that can only be stopped by changing this consistent with Bayes and the Block model.

      The testing is required to gain the needed trust of the rich and wealthy.

      Even the Romans and the colonial powers knew that you must never threaten the powers that be as long as they play along. They will for it is a hypnotic brain game. Just learn to turn the tables. Like white magic is stronger than black magic for requires more skill at the game. Magic being in effect a paradox that part of humanity imply can't really understand the others other than via religious validated blind trust in the team mates.

      When the courts are in order with the resounding voices needed to be reached consensus with it is game over for foul play.

      Only then can you effectively change the tax laws. For all extra you earn above the norm you pay 50% tax up to the maximum. Then 100%. The more tax you pay the slower you decline when the GNP drops. And in the Netherlands you get a lunch with the King and are held in high esteem. That is what authoritarian types crave the most i.e. not many yet esteem.

      Nowhere to run nowhere to hide. Even trying tax evasion you will be caught. Taxing success in a clever way never hurts. Yet you need evidence and proof in order. The law is not at fault so changing the law all the time shifts focus g=from the real problem. Incorrect teaming due to incorrect religion of what mankind is.

      In order not to kill the hen with the golden eggs instead of paying taxes an independent participation firm can join in safe guarding the interests of the community. As long as dividend is paid no problem. The say in the company stays with Lamborghini.

      So the community shares in the rise in the worth of the enterprise and too much profit say > 10%. No risk for labor costs other than the extra you need to pay to compete on labor as a firm.

      No more slavery for you can simply without going bankrupt say no when as a Christian Jesus had he lived now would of advised you to say no. No slavery thus.

      People will I predict start working with their younger clones in order to take days off. Etc. Much much more to be said. Like explaining all chess. Yet this block model is 64 times more complex than that and only part of the story with the ant and reptile brain also at play. And a model is just a model not reality.

      Regards Gerhard

      Dear Mr Ris, thanks for developing ,We shall answer you soon, and Ulla Mattfolk, my collaborator is going to read quietly also, best regards

      7 days later

      the solutions exist , it is sure and certain , it is not an utopy, this UN must be responsible and listen the scientists deterministic and universal having global solutions where all wins, I know that all we are obliged to follow this system non really balanced, and that the majority have many occupations implying that they are not interested or that they have not a lot of time to follow this kind of project, I find this sad, more the vanity , so it is not easy to unify in a world divided and odd generally, now the people need money to be conviced or to follow systems already strong having power, but I will not stop, I want really humbly change this planet in finding the points of equilibrium where all lifes win, the richest like the poorest and all vegetals and anaimals, we can do it, yes it is possible, we can, we must just convice this UN to adapt this global system with rational solutions in all centers of interests, we just adapt the system and improve it , I need the help of people, because alone of course I cannot success, If we success it will be the bigest revolution on this earth of all times, me I want well but instead to try to explain this consciousness, it is better to utilise it with the sciences, I repeat but we can improve the economy, the ecology, the technologies, the industrialisations, and so many things with concrete solutions, and this UN must understand that it is an obliged step of evolution, when I speak about these wheels in orbit , it is important, we can create ecosystems inside and check this gravitation with the rotation , but for this we need money, and the world bank must listen this UN , that will give jobs to majority , it is just an energy this money and it lacks money and responsible universalists in the leaderships, it is not complicated, if we make this, we shall improve naturally the global odd psychology because people need simply to win more money to live better , and these jobs created due to these wheels in space can solve this , we must give hope, water, food, energy, jobs to majority and this actual global system cannot make this. Furthermore we destroy globally our ecosystems, is it a hidden camera??? because if yes it is time to tell us, me I want well but this UN is not skilling at this moment , I don t know what they do , if they are just politicians but they must listen the scientists concrete and universal because in the future and it is soon, them also they shall loose all , I know that a few number on this earth are real universal altruists, and that even at this UN there are problems , but they must encircle that if it is this or all we loose soon, the richest shall win still more and the pooret them shall boost this global economical system with what I explain but my 3 main solutions need to add other solutions also , that is why I need the skillings of universal scientists seeing the generality, I am not better you know , I just don t understand how it is possible that we have this globality knowing our potential, we have oddly evolved and we make the same errors than our ancestors, we must change for the well of all I repeat , please help me, I cannot do it alone me, I am not a magician.

      of course, these wheels in space are a complex engineering project and for this we need funds and a decision of the UN , the NASA has well worked with their space station but they need funds to go farer , the space station is not sufficient, these wheels can be a reality if we take our global responsabilities, the best engineers can focus on this, it is really a necessary step of evolution for humanity and this earth. The orbits can be studied correctly and all the intrinsic systems in engineering, it si not a probleM, we just need funds and a global decision of this UN. That will solve really many things seen the jobs manual and others correlated. I speak really about wheels very complex and detailed and big, not small diameters, we must create enormous system and all must be taken into account, even the security of course and the long term resistance. Mars is not a solution due to several problems like the gravitation and so problems about the daptation of lifes animal and vegetal.more others, but we can utilise it at short term for ressources or others like experiments. Elon Musk works well but he needs help also to go farer in the researchs and projects, in fact we must help all the visionary projects and leaders. It is not an utopy I repeat but an obliged step of evolution permiting to catalyse all on earth also in economy, ecology, technology.... When we analyse the problem of these wheels, it is just a problem of funds and responsabilities of governments, so the UN , we have too much divided systems instead to work together for the common well. Imagine this incredible revolution in making these wheels and others industrialisation of our solar systems, the economy must be adapted, we know all that we go in the wall in the future and that this planet and its actual global system is not sufficient. The UN has persons enlightened and responsible, so they must take their responsabilities and forget the persons finding a problem for the most simple solutions general due to their vanity, they shall not help this planet, they implies problems instead to find these solutions for the well of all. We know that the jealousy, the vanity, the lack of consciousness, the stupidity exists and we must not work with this , but work with the real universal altruists understanding this universe and having solutions concrete.The others finding problems, they can make their lifes in satisfying their ego and vanity, it is not our problem. We can do it, and I d say, we must do it, we are obliged to do it.

        Dear Steve,

        Indeed as you say it is possible to fundamentally change things for the better.

        Indeed, no one can do this alone. It needs a mass movement, that requires a team to get that started.

        Yet, every individual should also take mental care of him or herself whilst attempting such a venture. It is akin fighting a safe just war against poverty, due to injustice being the root cause of war.

        Warriors need to rest and take time to think. I gather you are French(?) so then general Joffre springs to mind, of which the book Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman is a recommended read. President Kennedy had a copy of that book on his desk during the Cuban Missile crises, in order not to blunder in to a WW III. Anyway, Joffre according to Tuchman, let himself be driven along the front, yet always took time to have a decent lunch. Some of us are gifted with the talent to see further into the future than others and have difficulty to communicate this, or to be more precise get the message across.

        Being forced into small talk by your partner was an important old school thing my uncle a psychiatrist head of a large psychiatric hospital had told my dad. You need time to switch off.

        Wikipedia on William Tecumseh Sherman: "Although his brother, Congressman John Sherman, was well known for his anti-slavery views, Captain Sherman was not an abolitionist and he had expressed some sympathy for the white Southerners' defense of their agrarian system, including the institution of slavery. On the other hand, Sherman was adamantly opposed to secession. In Louisiana he became a close friend of Professor David F. Boyd, a native of Virginia and an enthusiastic secessionist. Boyd later recalled witnessing that, when news of South Carolina's secession from the United States reached them at the Seminary, "Sherman burst out crying, and began, in his nervous way, pacing the floor and deprecating the step which he feared might bring destruction on the whole country."[30] In what some authors have seen as an accurate prophecy of the conflict that would engulf the United States during the next four years,[31] Boyd recalled Sherman declaring:

        You people of the South don't know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing! You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it... Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth--right at your doors. You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with. At first you will make headway, but as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from the markets of Europe as you will be, your cause will begin to wane. If your people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail.[32]"

        This history of the US Civil war shows what the Romans and colonial powers also knew: when you endanger a way of prosperous living such as via abolition of slavery, it will go suicidal. We Dutch as a colonial power kept the Sultans in power for that very reason. A brain game that keeps the powerful in power, yet forces them to cooperate. No way of rational warning will be heeded, not even by a secessionist professor, even a friend such as Sherman.

        The reason Sherman sensed that the North would fight, has been very well shown in a 4 minute film I can't at the moment find: the gest of it was that most immigrants had for the first time the right to vote. Seeing the Union and thus democracy being endangered by succession due to the election of Lincoln being perceived by the South as an abolitionist, even by people such as Sherman who weren't abolitionists would make them fight for that reason. It led to a nervous breakdown of Sherman, knowing as well that he would have to fight his classmates of WestPoint. And he indeed made Georgia howl.

        Yet an important other lesson looms namely that of course slavery is a condition sine qua non for the Civil War. The USA is as I'm writing this again at the brink of civil war, due to slavery. Namely not everyone having the fundamental human right to play along for a guaranteed decent income. The root cause.

        Most people will only follow authority. It is in our DNA as a survival trait. As you already pointed out as well.

        I befriended then prof Richard Gill due to the murder case Lucia de B. A nurse convicted of multiple murders. It was thanks to Richards contact via KNAW that Nobel prize laureate Gerard 't Hooft wrote a short open letter in the newspaper. That was what made the supreme court shift.

        The case was about Bayesian versus Empirical statistics and is more fundamental than they then knew.

        A new insight for me since last week is that it is even most fundamental.

        If you don't want to end up in a Science in Transition bog down, then a decent systematic search for the truth, science will need to redefine in a Bayesian way into: idea, concept with a painted picture in a testable way, the proof thereof (i.e. a proven prime suspect); theory (a concept with the algebra formulas) and a law such as the theories of Einstein should be seen. Yet in their respective boxes.

        According to my model the pure mathematical formula of Pierre Laplace taken in the interpretation of Thomas Bayes is an already proven most fundamental law of the cosmos/ nature/ god. Taking all three these words as absolutely identical and thus have consistency i.e. no conflict.

        The synapse of our brain is consistent with the cosmos, and it works both deterministic as well as probabilistic. It thus also shows us what the cosmos must be like. Inconsistency with Bayes means pseudoscientific per logical definition. It shows you proper legal proceeding in a very practical way. It is not trivial. It can prevent wars.

        It also shows via the Block Model that was found via this Bayesian approach that without Martinus Veltman, Gerard 't Hooft wouldn't have had the Nobel prize and vice versa. Veltman has a clear resounding voice.

        The same goes for Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Robert Hooke seen by some as the Leonardo da Vinci of his day. Hooke had to shut up and calculate. Wrong: first paint the whole picture in a testable way. Like Einstein did, knowing he was wrong.

        And the same goes for Albert Einstein and his first wife who he needed for the algebra.

        The last weeks I've formed a little team, that don't dispute the correctness of my model on their respective areas of expertise, now see if I can bag a big fish (with some help maybe?).

        Again I have a beginning of successful tests, hilariously on a private Facebook where an intelligent person objecting to my claim that some people don't have irony tried to use irony, not grasping that correct use of witty irony is more than just state the opposite of what you mean and call that irony. In so doing obviously proving the opposite and having that still to be seen by anyone who does have irony that the attempted falsification not only failed but added stronger proof (/evidence for those not yet convinced) to the contrary.

        The situation is dire people. We are on the brink of WWIII.

        Yet even so: Carpe Diem! & Savoir Vivre! (Pardon me my French пЃЉ)

        We're learning quite a bit from the Democrats. If you take away people's jobs, they riot and tear up your city. If you give people jobs and keep them employed, they don't have time to protests. If you defund the police, crime and murder rates go up. If you train police that they are the blue line that separates their country from anarchy, they will be more patient. If you teach citizens to treat the police with respect, there will be less need for arrests.

        Democrats will not agree with me, but the truth is: only Democrat cities are burning and are overrun with anarchists and crime.

        Dear Jason Mark,

        Could it be that both Democrats and Republicans are fundamentally wrong?

        Having people having multiple jobs just being able to get by is slavery and invariably will lead to conflicts in the long run. It simply can't work that 1% gets most of the wealth. It will always fail. A mathematical human psychics affair.

        On the other hand Keynes will lead to government spending spiraling out of control. That won't work either.

        Regards Gerhard

        Gerhard,

        You claim that "both" are wrong! But here is the flaw in your thinking. People have to work, either in industry, corporate world, or do something that keeps them busy. Even if they are donating their time to a charity or helping to raise kids.

        I don't know where you got the idea it was okay to tax excessively the working class. It's like you don't understand that socialism is slavery.

        I remember a time when I wasn't making the money I wanted. I took the opportunity to join the US Army and serve my country. I know you have been brainwashed to hate the military. If so, you should reconsider your views. Freedom is not free. Peace only comes to those who are prepared for war.

        Did you know that 92% of jobs come from people who are so rich, that they have to find workers to work at their factories and in their offices? Rich people give other people jobs. You should hate them less for it.

        Hello to both of you, Mr Ris, yes I am frecnh speaking, that is why my english and grammar are not perfect, sorry for this, I liked a lot your post, I think like you , it is not easy to make understaning to people persuaded about the arms, weapons, borders , many think they are right about these arms, of course I know that we can reach a point of equilibrium with the theory off games and a kind of disuasion for these arms, because the strength if china, usa, europa , india for example work together, that will disuade the others tpo produce arms, so paradoxally that will decreqse these productions. I am aware that fortuannly the USA was there in europa during the WW2 , but the USA has a big problem considering the arms, it is a young country with a special past and they fear a lot and it is the country where we have the most numerous number of death due to arms. Jason is a republican petriot persuaded that they are are right, I am tolerant but I find odd sometimes to love this , and it is linked to fear also and catholicism, I don t understand this. I love USA but there is a problem like everywhere on earth simply, no country is perfect after all. I see also that in this country the USA the racism and the differences are a main problem, it is odd , I have the same problem in belgium due to immigration, the world changes and the UN is not able to find the adapted solutions, the future is to create a global village harmonised for all, that is why the patriotism is not the solution, even if they are persuaded. Kennedy was a person seeing clear and it is sad he has been shot because he jhas simply told truths like many , it exists things we cannot critic unfortunally.

        Dear Jason, the republicans or democrats are not the problem, the problem is the lack of consciousness in all governances respecting the universal laws and the pure altruism, with or without our approvements, if we success to survive, the borders, the arms and money are dedictated to disappear, because it exists things wich cannot be divided or selt simply. I know you a catholic republican patriot , and I respect your choice, but be aware that we evolve towards an universal unification also , it lacks many things in all the different political ideologies and it is mainly this universalism wich lacks.

        The socialism, the communism, the capitalism are not the solutiobns but an equilibrium between them with a pure universalism, yes

        Dear Jason Mark,

        Do please read more carefully what it is that I state: More Millionaires, No Poor, No War.

        So, I'm quite opposed to socialism.

        The root cause is somewhat more a problem. Namely that we humans are something different than our current paradigm makes us believe we are. We are all idiots - so am I, that need groupthink in order to think properly. Group think is not socialism, lest you think that. You can also do that in any organization, family or church if you like.

        You would be astonished how little focus we individual humans have. A thing that illusionists and hypnotizers know and exploit.

        40% of humanity even the 10% of the most intelligent thereof simply can't compute long term problems. 80% female thus 20% male.

        A further 40% of humanity simply can't compute further than medium term affairs: 80% male and 20% female. Including the 10% most intelligent thereof.

        Only 20% can think in more long terms on important issues. 50% male / 50% female. On far above average complex problems that leaves us (10% of this group thus) 2% that can dream up correct potential testable solutions in order not to let it spiral out of control.

        Less than 1% deviation over the total.

        You can learn to spot this as being true yourself B.T.W.

        Alas the survival trait of internalized hypnotics that I also define as religion, comes to play. And then only a person seen as the authority can change the religion of the peer group without it becoming an open conflict.

        If you are religious in this belief you state it is as if I were to state like Sherman, that I pointed out earlier saying to a toddler (that we all are thus, including myself) go ahead walk on the Duckweed of the pond, commit suicide with H2O. The toddler will hear "go ahead walk onto the strange pond, blah, blah unimportant." And thus walk onto the pond, and get wet and maybe drown.

        So if you are indeed religious in this issue, then there is no way I can convince you to rethink this.

        So then we'd best agree to disagree.

        Unless you can prove that we aren't prof Dick Swaab type of robots and that hypnotism and religion aren't survival traits.

        Oh, and by the way, I've been in the army and proudly so. And my grandparents were in the armed resistance in the war. I've been a D.A.. So I don't quite know where you got these ideas from? That Sherman was vehemently opposed to war, made him in your eyes I guess then a pacifist?

        Regards, Gerhard

        Mr Ris, happy to know you, you are a real universalist understanding the pure laws of this universe, I have remarked that it is difficult to change the adult humans, they are persuaded that they are right, like all. My project becomes very complex to solve seeing the human psychology unfortunally. It is a fact, that is why I prefer to work the globality and the basis in imporving the quality of lifes everywhere instead to try to change the thoughts of humans, it seems not possible unfortunally. A few number understand this universal altruism and that we are here to utilise our consciousness converging with this universe to optimise what we can optimise with this sciences and consciousness. It seems difficult for many to encricle that we are all humans brothers in the same boat and that we must change , the borders are stupid, the arms also and this money also, but we are obliged to make with these parameters unfortunally actually, that is why I try to find global solutions of harmonisations where all wins

        Dear Steve,

        Do please call me Gerhard. And thank you.

        I think we are of the same mind set in order to get this shit we are heading for sorted out.

        We need someone of authority to get that started. I see no other way.

        Gerhard

        Dear Jason, Mr Ris is not for the socialism, he just explains that we can harmonise both, the liberalism and the socialism can be modern political systems respecting the universal altruism, I am against the exterme socialism or the extreme capitalism, but an equilibrium between both with this universalism can be a good solution global, it is always a question of consciousness in the governances in fact, the keys must be simply given in good hands, in belgium my country the cpountry is divided in two parts, the flemmish and the walloons, and we are without governments since many years and the flemmish wants to divide the country, in wallonia the socialist party has helped in the past a lot but now they are a problem and I can affirm that the psychology of belgians in this part is odd, the socialism indeed can imply serious problems, so I insist about the equilibrium between both, we have in belgium the best social security on this planet and it is well for several reasons but it is not well for other reasons, your country needs a better social security for the forgotten and my country needs a better capitalism conscious for the enterprises simply, it seems good solutions everywhere on this planet, a kind of harmonised capitalism socialism moder universal simply where the consciousness is the main chief orchestra in the governances, it seems evident to reach the points of equilibrium. For this, we need funds, a new revolutionary industrialisation and better governances and better checkings of enteprises without consciousness.

        :) thanks Gerhard, I agree indeed, we need help and a good authority to reach these aims, hope this group can success in unifying the good persons and in creating a manifest of concrete deterministic universal solutions where all wins. I beleive we can arrive but it needs time to be credible. I d like to have celebrities to help us , but they need opportunity I beleive , it is the begining and I thank FQXi to have created this group. I have remarked in all humility that the win win adapted to this actual global system seems the most important. What you told about the mantal health is so so important, this psychology is linked and like Ulla told me, the choas is increased if we don t improve this.
