Men have also abandoned the tariffs that used to protect their economies so that the rich may prosper from the suffering of the poor. And people cheer. Farmers in the U.S. lobby for a free trade agreement with Korea so they will have a new market to sell their relatively dirt-cheap grains and produce, and ignore the poor farmer in that country that must invest 170 man hours to their one to compete. They also ignore the needs of their neighbors who aren't farmers. Their manufacturing jobs are lost because they cannot compete with a cheap foreign labor pool. And these laborers within this pool don't even prosper. They are paid slave wages and the margin of price between the cost of the product and the price at which it is sold (which is typically just low enough to undercut the local competition) is pocketed by the rich, not the poor. There is nothing free about Free Market economies. They cost jobs and the lifeblood of money that must flow through their local economies. It is much more rational to establish a Fair Market economy, where tariffs are set according to the wages being paid to the local work force. That way the only way for these Third World sweat shop can reduce its' tariffs is by raising the wages of their workers.

Now a word of wisdom for this world's rich. You might think you want a two class economy but you don't. You stand upon the foundation that the middle class has built for you. When you destroy this foundation you will fall. Not because you are rich, but because there are so many poor, whose suffering you have caused, that loath you. It has happened many times. If you don't believe me, read your history books. Dates change, but people, not so much.

Now that I've touched upon the topic of our stupid weapons policies, laws and economies, let me address how poorly humanity is prepared for the future.

I admire the tenets of physicians, I really do. There is wisdom is such policies as "first do no harm" and "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" and one would do well do bide by them. And though as individuals some of us do practice these tenets our societies as a whole, do not practice them as rigorously as they should.

There are things that we know about this world and its' past. We know that the next disaster isn't so much an if but a when. We know that this world has geologic and solar cycles that it must contend with as well as an occasional meteorite. To add to this, we now potentially have man-made climate change creating droughts and floods across this world. And to this we must add this world's burgeoning population which now stands at 7 billion. A 2% growth rate would double that population to 14 billion by 2047 and to 28 billion by 2083. By 2119 there will be 56 billion, and in the year 2155 112 billion people on this planet.

But politicians would prefer to ignore the need to solve these problems so they can argue about what God wants while continuing to wage a war on our poor and our liberals which they have already won. I guess its' just for fun and money now.

But let us discuss how a wise leader would address these problems. Of course, a wise leader would restore the rights eroded and "evolved" by foolish "experts".
He would also rid this world of its' MAD policies since they are quite insane.
He would regulate the profit margins of those who barter the needs of his people, while letting those bartering their wants to compete freely. He would establish Fair Markets and rid this world of the evils and burdens exacted by Free Market values. He would tax the rich who are unwilling to support the poor to reclaim for his nation and his people the life's blood that they extract from his society. He would then tax them again in death, so that subversive economic nations do not rise to strike down the sage policies of the government which rightfully binds them. He will remember that men are not honest by nature, they are honest when they are watched. Therefore he would restore the banking regulations that were thrown down by greedy fools.

Then he would address global warming and provide for the ounce of prevention needed to secure the future well being of his people.

He would do this with simple things like converting old-single walled supertankers to a new purpose: "seeding" the barren deep seas with iron oxide. He would also create deep sea "rafts" filled with unwanted scrap iron, that will slowly dissolve providing a long-term supply of iron between super tanker runs. This iron in this relatively barren ecosystem will stimulate the growth of plankton, producing O2 and consuming CO2, helping to balance the equilibrium that man's activities has skewed. Not only this, but these plankton are the base for a whole food chain whose fish could feed the hungry stomachs of our people.

dhw: "Once upon a time in the realms of dark matter – the nature of which is unknown to all humans except yourself – the first basic forms of life spontaneously but inevitably assembled themselves on low-entropy Planet X."

Since you have also addressed your desire in an earlier post that I compare and contrast my theory of dark matter abiogenesis with its' more conventional counterpart, I shall try to do so now.

In my last post I addressed the need for others to empirically explore the nature of dark matter, and supplied the means to do so. I hope that, eventually, this will make the existence and nature of dark matter apparent to all, even most skeptics.

When asked what scientists would look for when trying to find alien life on Mars they said, "negative entropy". This is the fundamental definition of life. Life harnesses free energy from its' environment, converts that energy to work that in turn is used to assemble the materials from which that life is made. High positive entropy requires a high metabolic load to overcome it, letting matter "live" by definition. Therefore life has a greater chance of overcoming the erosive effects of entropy in a low entropy environment, also by definition. So if low entropy matter exists (as now can be proven) then life had the greatest chance of evolving within that type of matter. This is the first advantage that dark matter abiogenesis has over conventional abiogenesis.

The second advantage this theory has is one of matter and time. When the existence of dark matter is proven to your satisfaction, you will have to consider that it does consist of the vast majority of the matter in our universe. But until then lets discuss conventional matter and the probability that life evolved somewhere else first rather than on earth. On earth, we have two hundred million years on an earth sized-ball of matter before life evolved. However the milky-way galaxy is estimated to have 500 million planets in the habitable zone. Let's say 100 million of these are suitable for life as we know it. By conservative estimates, life began on earth when the milky way was about 4 billion years old. Using this model, I have 20 times as much time and 100 million more chances of life evolving somewhere else first rather than earth. This means that, in conventional matter, life is 2 billion times more likely to have evolved on another planet(s) first other than earth. If you were at the track, which horse would you bet on?

dhw: These then spontaneously but inevitably evolved into mortal predators and prey which eventually evolved spontaneously but inevitably into gods who were mortal and immortal (= a “measure of immortality”).

Here I will address what a "measure of immortality" might be for an organism made of EM-matter. For a organism with single stranded RNA, as simple organisms are, we are talking about a lifespan of around 4000 years. Multistranded RNA or DNA creatures made of EM matter could survive for 40,000 years or more.

"dhw: One day these gods climbed into their spacecraft and for some reason headed for Planet Earth, which they “bioformed” for life though its high entropy made it a kind of hell. (So what was the point of choosing it in the first place?) "

This civilization could be so ancient that its' first move to another bioformed planet might have been an exodus from their own to escape a dying sun. They may be so ancient that they have made such an exodus on more than one occasion.

Life was started in matter as we understand it, so that the creators could master this form of matter and use the technologies that that mastery provided. Intelligent life with hands were the tools they made. These "tools" could be "possessed" by their technology to manipulate matter which was otherwise very difficult to manage. Eventually, the creativity and design of these "tools" came to be desired in heaven. This creativity also gave the creators things that they had never dreamed: living gems. Things that were not only wonderful because of the beauty of their design, but by the beauty and creativity of their nature. Laughter, rarely heard in heaven, was born as were stories, songs, creativity, fundamental technologies and a labor force to do the simple things that needed to be done to run every society.

Abel: "Shorter cables can used to confirm the way this matter tends to gather into a patchwork quilt of pure matter types even when found in a mixed medium like the soil of a valley floor."

In retrospect, I see that it would be better to use longer fiber optic cables that are coiled before being buried rather than short ones. This will provide a better reading. These coils should be placed at least 3 feet below ground.

To ascertain how gravity affects M-matter, coils of fiber optic cables can be buried at differing depths and the concentration of M-matter at those depths ascertained by spectrophotometric readings. Or alternately, the same experiment could be performed in the ocean. Calculations derived from these readings should resolve any questions about what percentage of the universe is comprised of dark matter (EM-matter, E-matter, and M-matter).
