we begin, as philosophy often does, with the understanding
that in philosophy, as in any other discipline, information can be
good information or it can be garbage… and therein lies the
very old saying, garbage in, garbage out… if we use garbage
information, we cannot get the right information out… put in crap
and you get crap back… Charles Babbage, who created the basic
concept of the digital, programmable, computer, once said:
‘‘On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of parliament]
Pray Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will
the right answer come out? I am not able rightly to apprehend
the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question’’
Indeed, what kind of confusion of ideas…
and yet, we see this kind of confusion every single day…
the entire MAGA movement is based on this kind of confusion…
the starting point of MAGA is racism… whites are right,
black is wrong… which is plan garbage… because it is
unsupported by any kind of evidence, facts of any kind…
and another starting point is the belief within both the MAGA
movement and conservatives at large, that the least amount
of government is the best government…which completely
ignores one of the basic points of existence, within life itself,
that systems, any system moves from simplicity to complexcity…
this is true of life, or any other system… from institutions to
biological systems… the path of systems moves from simplicity
to complexcity… our society, state and the systems within
that state or society, has gotten ever more complex, as systems
do… the idea that a system that is ever more complex, can
be handled or controlled by an ever smaller government flies
in the face of common sense… a complex system requires an
ever more complex system to handle it…complexity requires
complexity to control it… think of the history of cars…
the Model A ford didn’t require a great deal of complexity because
it was a fairly simple car… and think of today’s cars… to understand
cars today practically requires one to be a computer specialist’s to
understand it… complexity requires ever more complexity…
so, how exactly does a large complex system, such as America,
work or function without an equally large complex system to
oversee it? and the problem with complexity is that with
ever increasing complexity, even an ever smaller monkey wrench
can be used to slow down or even stop a complex system…
as a system grows more complex, it becomes ever easier to
slow it down or even stop it…
This is part of the garbage in, garbage out of MAGA and conservatives…
if one gathers in garbage information, one will get garbage out
information…IQ45 is so wrong, so often because he like so
many MAGA holds to garbage ideas which translate into garbage
out…
so much of MAGA hates cities… especially democratic cities…
which is basically where much of the minorities live in…IQ45 has
often painted inner cities as crime ridden, destroyed cities and yet,
the facts tell us he is very wrong… listening to faux news,
one would believe that cities like Portland and Seattle are a smoldering,
destroyed mess, and the truth is far different… Portland as is Seattle are
large thriving cities… but that is what happens when we practice GI, GO…
Which explains why IQ45 and MAGA are usually wrong… because they
begin with garbage facts and wind up with garbage out… they, MAGA
begins with gut feelings, like IQ45 always says, but not facts or evidence…
So, let us further investigate this:
