The Emperical Truth

 Word of the Day;

                    Empirical Truth: Exact conformity, as learned by observation or experiment between judgments or propositions and externally existent things in their actual status and relations called the actual truth, contingent truth. As defined by Merriam-Webster.

I got this word from an article in The Atlantic about the upcoming series on Peacock called Shadowland. Although I haven't seen shadowland yet I was intrigued by the idea that the American System has been made of some sort of conspiracy or at least influenced by one.

The word empirical truth really stumped me when used to describe conspiracy. As I looked at the definition and gave an acquiesced idea to the word, being an objective truth. But that's the most misleading thing. Something with an inside fact that we can't see lurking to cause havoc.

The article described the conspiracy as "Mainstream conspiracism is the result not of bad information or bad politics or bad thinking, but of systems built to stoke paranoia and to profit from mistrust." The Atlantic.com/ Shadowland. Shadowland is a documentary series, primiering on Peacock September 21.

Nature's Order: The Model of Concern; Response to Aaron Lester's Problem With Predictions, Harvard Gazette

The Problem With Predictions, Harvard Gazette: “People have always yearned to peer into the future to make sense of what's going to happen”, Said Mathematician-Speaker; David Orell (Aaron Lester, Harvard Correspondent reports) during a Peabody Museum Talk, April 25, 2013. Although Orell’s talk is not recent his subject seems timeless. Turning points can be hard to make and even harder to predict, especially if we aren't looking. Taking the time to do things responsibly is more important everyday. Everybody has been rushing about for such a long time it seems we don't slow down and look. We might notice things do peer back at us. If we take the time to see them. With all the deadlines to meet, bills to pay. What notice did we miss? If we could slow down. Follow the signs. Think about the obstacles, clean up the trip hazards and have the patience and compassion to allow things to fall into place. People may begin to see what will happen. Because of what happens when we do

A Pound of Prevention

Prevention is worth a pound of cure: Cambridge dictionary: definition of truism. Disease holds an impairing position though. Making up statements to say a lot can sometimes contribute to imposing positions that break an order of activity. The image of the snake biting its own tale gives me the idea of making the same mistakes over and over again. Implementing context for due processes could allow for understanding things in a more responsible manner. Although things can only come around in the order in which they came, we could be hiding from our own compiling tale. If we organize not to, it might be possible not to take the bite so often.   (63) Pinterest Image The pandemic is just another epic tale. Ouch. But let's not pop their balloon.  US News political cartoon display . I know I sound like I am a bit full of hot air myself but I think if we had known how to prevent viruses in the first place we may have also seen a way for a cure. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of C

Response to: On the Agenda; Banning Natural Gas from homes By Magan Banta Published Feb 5, Register Guard

Response to: On the Agenda; Banning Natural Gas from homes By Magan Banta Published Feb 5, 6am Register Guard. Liz Frazier Photo Article We have been working with natural gas for soo long. It is popping up out of the ground and breathing it is not safe but is ignoring it, and how it runs safely, safe? What will happen when there is nowhere for the natural gas to go and it is still flowing in a fossil fuled way. Electricity and heat are made to be regulated and cost money. Do disruptive green house gasses come from disrupting conductivity? Electricity and heat is a need. Warmth is necessary for understanding and working with information. The Natural Gas Act, which was administered by the Federal Power Commission (FPC), extended to the transportation and sale of natural gas by natural gas companies. In 1954 the Supreme Court extended regulation to the prices paid by interstate pipelines to independent natural gas producers. It seems there has been a lot of attention paid to how
