Okay, was George Washington gay ?

 

Now, I can only imagine that if I was in Florida right now, then, I would have to send Mr. DeSantos, at least $2500 before I write this, but, I am not there, so I feel pretty comfortable to do that now. I guess, you might say, that asking such a question is " sacrilege " ?


Anyway, when I grew up in the 1950's in the U.S., there were exactly 0 homosexuals in the entire U.S. ,which was composed of at least 200 million people.  That is ,  even though , Liberace was frequently on national T.V. , but hey, nobody discussed sexual " preference " at that time, because, I don't think anyone, actually knew there was such a thing as sexual preference.  In fact, very few people were actually aware that such a thing as " sex " existed at all, as babies were all delivered, wrapped up nicely, by storks.  Of course, back in the 1950s there were a lot more storks available for that kind of thing. 


Now, to the brass tacks ;  if you got 200 average Americans, from the U.S. and ask, them if George Washington was gay, then you'd probably have about 20-50, who might not know who you were talking about, and at least 10-20% would probably go with gay, because he wore a wig, which certainly does suggest some curious behavior.  Of the 20-50 that might not know who he is, then maybe some might think that he was some professional wrestler, and would probably go with gay.  


So, therefore, and maybe hence , you might conclude some 35% of the 200 might go with gay,

or 70 out of 200, regardless of political affiliation.

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...

T.V. s and unlimited power

  I have to preface this, with, this could be a very hard train to follow, and I'm just hoping it doesn't crash at the end. I was fortunate, when I was very young to have been in a community, pretty much without T.V. s but in which they were being introduced gradually. So, when I was about 3 or 4 years old we had one, and the first experience I remember with that, was the Wizard of Oz.  I didn't see it completely  because I totally freaked out at the first appearance of the Wicked Witch of the West.  I remember this so distinctly, because I was unable to go into a dark room for about 3 weeks.  I was diagnosed with acute Witch-itis.   Moving on to the unlimited power.  Today, in the world we live in, we have selected, individuals to have practically unlimited power. I say that because, we really don't want to test that level of power, so the result is - that power then , becomes practically with out bounds. Now, one good question would be how is th...
