You Be You, YBY, Be Anti-Party

You Be You, YBY, Be Anti-Party 2019/28/12 Mybrid Trees Wonderful An Irreni World Scale Document A couple of days ago I wrote my declaration of candidacy for Presidency in 2020. Is the candidacy serious?  Can I be President? "Sometimes you gotta create what you want to be a part of."         --Geri Weitzman Every Presidential election I want someone's name to be write in for President. Every Presidential election since Ross Perot I haven written in someone's name. I've never been happy with who I pick. So this time I decided to create that choice I will be happy with. Sometimes you gotta create what you want to be part of. This same idea is true with Irreni. Democracy blows. Democracy is a poorly designed system. As Winston Churchill pointed out, Democracy sucks but it just happens to be the best alternative we have. I want better. So I created Irreni World Scale. I'll vote for myself and the "Make Congress Accountable" camp

Mybrid 2020, Kiss The Future

Kiss The Future 2019/26/12 Mybrid Trees Wonderful An Irreni World Scale Document Disapproval Proof I have a plan. And yup, that is supposed to reflect Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech. I have a plan to not run for President. I have a plan  where King had a dream. By not running for President I have a plan to judge U.S. Congress Critters, or UCC, not by the color of their skin but the content of their character. My plan to not run for President requires you to write my name in as a vote for President in 2020. Why would you do that? Write my name in? First because I am not affiliated with either party so it is impossible to get my name on any ballot. My name Mybrid has to be written in. Second because we need to judge the UCC by their character. The idea here is simple. Make Congress accountable by putting them in charge of the Federal Government. The UCC currently enjoys a 90% incumbency rate where they have a 10% approval rat

What Makes America, America?

What Makes America, America? Hi! Happy Monday! Just a reminder, this blog is not about punditry, but solutions. When this country was founded the expressed goal of the founders was to make a country morally superior to Great Britain. Two popular slogans of the American Revolution were "Don't Tread On Me" and "No Taxation Without Representation." George Washington was asked why he refused to torture British prisoners. His answer? He wanted to build a country that he would feel good to live in, he wanted to build a better country. Here are some choices for answering what makes America, America: 1. Technical Superiority 2. Military Superiority 3. Trade Superiority 4. Moral Superiority 5. Land Superiority To be clear the categories include things like life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness being under moral superiority. The founders believed first and foremost that moral superiority to British tyranny was number one, followed closely by trade an

Don't Be Chris Hedges 10/18/2019 Chris Hedges has a death wish. Don't be Chris Hedges. This is an open letter to Katie Halper and Matt Taibbi.     Katie and Matt are hosts of the Useless Idiots podcast. As of 10/18/2019 their podcast had Chris Hedges on in two parts. Don't be Chris Hedges. Don't be Chris Hedges. The world has changed. Journalism needs to change with it. We need to speak truth to opportunity with far more urgency than speaking truth to power because we can win a war in two weeks where we don't know how to build tomorrow. Well, I do. Irreni World Scale. Chris Hedges reminds me of two media recollections. The first one is from 2004 where an American journalist interviewed an Afghani soldier. The other recollection was an interview with both Chris Hedges and Christopher Hitchens. In 2004 the Taliban were easily routed from parts of Afghanistan. At that time the US policy in Afghanistan was focused on eliminating opium pr

New Philosophy

New Philosophy This is a five minute read. Happy Saturday! This Irreni World Scale blog post is an open letter to Yuval Noah Harari and Steven Pinker. In addition I also want to put to bed any notion that I'm a misanthrope given my latest Facebook post where I ended with, "People are just ignorant." The YouTube interview linked below only requires you to listen for just a minute or so of your time where Yuval Noah Harari and Steven Pinker advocate that new philosophy is needed: https://youtu.be/qHSzeijQ95I?t=514 In the linked video not only is the claim made by Yuval Noah Harari that we need new philosophy but in addition the claim is made that no new philosophy exists. Au contraire! Irreni World Scale is a new governing system built on new philosophy. This philosophy not only represents current day needs but also needs up to four-hundred years in the future. This philosophy with governing not only scales to the entire planet, but scales to the solar system,

No There There, A Demonstration

No There There, A Demonstration Happy Wednesday! This is a quick three minute read. The "No There There" meme attached to this blog post lays out the abstract case for there being no there there with respect to our US constitution being a empty words. This essay is a demonstration of the principles from that meme. The demonstration uses the following dichotomy where one chooses one of: The US Constitution is a set of ideals taken ownership by legislators. The US Constitution is a corruption game board played upon by corrupt players. In this demonstration I'm going to show that our government today is the second choice of the dichotomy using two examples: Death by a thousand cuts. Death by letter of the law. Death by a thousand cuts. The US Government has been treating the US Constitution as a corruption game board since they passed the War Powers act. If you don't know the War Powers Act was a cowardly act by Congress to alleviate themselve

Culture With Government Changes

The key ingredient that our politics is missing in 2019 is culture change. We sniff around culture innovations. For example we know that if the world made a single culture change and the world went vegetarian overnight that this would benefit both climate change and food supply. Ask yourself this question. Would the youth of the day be better off lobbying culture to change to adopt vegetarian diets so as to reduce climate change or be better off by lobbying governments to reduce climate change? We sniff around culture innovations. Should be ban single-use plastic straws? Reporting on the huge island of plastic waste floating around the pacific is almost daily news. What is missing in 2019 is culture change that activates citizens. Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country - or planet. It is obvious that climate change and other governing problems of the day require cultural change and yet no governing mechanism to date has provided

Facebook Mind Reading

Facebook Mind Reading "Facebook is trying to read people’s thoughts, and no one’s ready for the consequences." Irreni World Scale is ready. The article with the above headline regarding Facebook mind-reading on my timeline annoyed me so much that I added a comment: A better headline would be, "Science fiction predictions and moral suggestions ignored yet again regarding emerging technology." Read a book. You may not know this but there are only a handful of Dewey Decimal fiction classifications. Fiction is just fiction. Science Fiction was carved out after the advent of the atomic bomb. American leaders wanted to be prepare for emerging technology in the future by sponsoring science speculating about such topics as cybernetics and genetic engineering before they came to be reality. Perhaps the best known example of this is Isaac Asimov's rules for robots. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to h
