How far should we go???
As a follow on from Mr blueskyes cry for help, I feel there are many issues
to be addressed here.
Predictions have been happening since time immemorial,
Moses in the form of Prophetic dreams,
and who hasn't heard of The Ides of March ??
Julius Caesar- maybe ignored them , to his peril,
so did Donald Campbell when, he did his own cards , before he went in
Bluebird to Honiston waters,
[a profoundly superstious man ], who, doing a quick reading before his
tragic death got two cards together which mean Death , yet he chose to defy
his own intuition [or whatever you may call it]
so many weather forecasters have got it wrong,
the weather forecast is estimated at about sixty per cent accurate, for
three days ahead,
thats how far science has got with predictions.
If someone wants, really wants to know their own future,
if they are a mature adult with all of their faculties
who am I to judge?
Yes I know all about Auto Suggestion,
but people have the right to ask, don't they ?
Or don't they ?
I am always wary of censorship, in any form , because it is linked with
Tyranny and Brutality,
and Fascism,
the day that one person says another is simply not allowed
to ask an opinion of another person,
bearing in mind the questioner has full Personal choice, and responsibility,
is the day that I dread,
when out hands are tied our mouths are gagged
when we can no longer speak freely
isn't that a time to be scared of?
To Avoid ?
God , maybe is the only 'entity' who has that power to use,
or maybe Nature,
BUT
Man, human beings
with all of their frailties
have we the right to judge?
If someone asks an honest sincere question, who am I
to say "NO " ?
you are not allowed to know, or guess, or ask
Kafka's Trial awaits in the gloomy corridors we call life
and around another corner
Blake beckons
with joy
Best Wishes

The communists have killed about 1300 percent more human beings than the
Nazis. All these labels are misleading, however. The enemy of
individuality and freedom is totalitarianism and that can take many
forms. All 'left wing' 'right wing' labeling is garbage and meaningless.
The only things on the opposing sides of our political existence are
anarchy (meant in the good, non lunatic way) on one 'wing' and
totalitarianism on the other. All else is in between.
That would also explain why all politicians behave in the same
unaccountable way.

In the 1960's Meteorologist Ed Lorenz was using an early computer to run a
similation of the weather. One day he was rushed for time. He set the
computer to round off the numbers to be calculated so a result would be
found sooner. He was expecting that the rounding off would have little or no
effect on the final results. What he surprisingly found however, was that
the final results were dramatically different. He found small changes in the
state of a system can cause major changes in the final output (sensitivity
to initial conditions). We had been used to thinking lage changes need large
forces. he found that small forces could have large effects. This has become
known as the butterfly effect. It has been said (although it is an
exaggeration) that a butterfly flapping its wings in Hong Kong could cause a
tornado in Texas. The picture above is the mathematical depiction of the
attractor he found investigating the weather and is lknown as the butterfly
attractor.
