Like, a little, about principals

 

And so, when we are talking about structure, ( most famously, undefined term ),

principals see like, the basis in which you can have reasonable conversations.


So good example of a principal is that the U.S.A. democracy is based, substantially

on, the principal that the government is by the people and for the people.  

Actually, the by the people part is kind of well, every government is made

up of people.   The "for the people" part is probably a little more important

and therefore gives substantially more meaning to the " by the people " part.


So, obviously principals are a key element when examining or evaluating 

structure as it applies to government in this country.  


Now, obviously there are a lot of other principals that are pretty

essential to this notion , such as the dignity of people, but in the

case of the U.S.A., it seems like the critical issue is that dignity 

should ( or you could say, must ), be applied to all people, because

fundamentally, the existence of the U.S.A., was predicated on

a wide variety of alliance, which had to include, fundamentally

" all people ".  Of course, there are some substantial holes

in that perspective, however, you think about it, it is clearly

relevant.  Most relevantly, the issue of dignity, does imply

respect, and that also must imply some level of trust.


In other words we all need to treat each other with dignity and

respect, and in the end learn better how to trust each other.


But, I must say that, absconding with sensitive government

documents, is probably a no-no, in any bodies book.


So, how many principals are there and are they really important?


Not sure, but there are obviously some more principals, but

it is also really important to understand that some of

these " principals " require thought and conversation,

no matter how you look at it or think about it.

Puzzles

  It seems to me that one  activity which many people enjoy as well as participate in or engage with is puzzle solving.  Part of the enjoyment  in puzzle solving is the actual conclusion where all the pieces are in place. There is also a related area of culture like mystery novels and various kinds of mysteries in art and culture. The standard model in physics could also be viewed in that way. This may not be a particularly good analogy, but it seems like you could view all the problems in the world or at least most of the big ones as one giant puzzle.  And in this picture many people are working on arranging these pieces, trying to figure out the patterns which might suggest how to orient or position a given piece.  Sometimes we have more than one group or individuals which are trying to place  a particular piece into place, but it seems like these efforts often contradict  each other, creating sometimes a lot of frustrations, and other difficult...

Belief, faith, and meaning

  Well, these three concepts are obviously closely connected, but yet you can possibly make distinctions between them.  The first two are of course clearly related and you may even think of faith as a container for some beliefs.  The exact nature of what that container might be or how you might comprehend it, of course, is, kind of, what faith is all about. But talking about belief by itself, it seems pretty clear to me that what you actually do, at any given time is somehow connected to what you might believe, which is kind of handy and convenient, because you can, kind of, figure out , more or less , what you do believe by what you in fact do, and then, may have some clearer understandings about what you belief , which can also help you navigate some of the actions or activities you engage with. Without going to much more into the subject of  faith, then, it is clear that meaning has a lot to do with belief, on account of how we perceive things , will indeed effect...

Okay, on space and time

  Well, it's a lot easier to think about if you just call it a manifold, which is not exactly super simple, but makes it a little easier to think about in terms of how " real " it is. So, this is motivated by article which I did not read, about how real is space and time. In mathematics, of course, this stuff is really real, because without it you can get absolutely nowhere.  But , let us not get too hung up with the math. Now, on a day to day basis of course we have " time " or we don't have any " time ". So, I would have to imagine for your average person, it's pretty darnn real, as of course is space, because, we are always involved with translations, meaning going from one place to another, and also, we put other stuff in spaces.  Now whether you want to believe that the stuff, you are using to jam into the space, is also space, I figure, that's all up to you and what makes you most comfortable. So, I am not going to get into an extende...
