 Human beings could be the result of such extra-terrestrial propagation system.
 

 Only if they did all life on Earth because DNA from all species here is 
completely interrelated, on a cellular level life here is identical apart from 
how genes have radiated from their starting point. Sending us here and faking 
the genome so it looked like we evolved from common ancestors with other apes 
would be an engineering feat beyond imagining!
 

 I'm all for using that method to colonise space though. Be cool if there was a 
way of freezing DNA of people and also resurrecting their memories and 
personality when you grow them at their destination, it'd mean we could all 
travel to the stars one day.

From the article: 

 We demonstrate the experimental creation and detection of knot solitons in the 
order parameter of a spinor Bose–Einstein condensate. The observed texture 
corresponds to a topologically nontrivial element of the third homotopy group 
and exhibits the celebrated Hopf fibration, which unites many seemingly 
unrelated physical phenomena. 

 

 That's what I've been trying to explain to you dolts on FFL in my many posts!

 Only if you re-engineer all of them. Otherwise all you do is add a few more 
genes to the pool that the grand sweep of evolution will select from. They are 
useful, or they aren't. 
 

 But we'll become a new species someday anyway, who knows what traits will be 
useful or not?

 That's OK, nature is blind and wouldn't care if we were smart or not. Survival 
is the only judgement for a species, I can't see how anything people do 
genetically to each other will affect the whole race if it stops them 
reproducing.

It could be, but a poor person's influence stops with them, and likely with 
their bodyguards, fleets of limos, and private jets, the rich rarely even see 
the poor, much less listen to them. 
 

 A rich person who is arrogant and crude towards others, affects many more 
individuals, spreading their stupidity about like a virus. They should also 
know better - many of them are highly educated. If they have the smarts to 
amass such wealth, then work at being a decent human being, too.
 

What do you think of this value, from the French? 

 noblesse oblige - the inferred responsibility of privileged people to act with 
generosity and nobility toward those less privileged.

Nothing wrong with building super-intelligent robots or specialized

to help the disabled.  But using robotics for longevity by merging and

 I have occasion to interact with (or at least observe) some of the wealthy 
when I travel to Aspen, Colorado usually once a year spending time in a 
property my parents bought in Snowmass Village some 45 years ago.
 

 I draw conclusions just like any of us, and see extraordinary generosity among 
wealthy people and also tremendous pettiness, and miserliness, even in my own 
city.  And sometimes a sort of sickness creeps in the psychology where, "you 
never have enough", and therefore become "clutchy"
 

 So, what's the big deal?

Oh no, a poor person's influence doesn't stop with them. It's only the 
beginning! There is a political class that takes advantage of poor people's 
gripes.

    It could be, but a poor person's influence stops with them, and likely with 
their bodyguards, fleets of limos, and private jets, the rich rarely even see 
the poor, much less listen to them. 
A rich person who is arrogant and crude towards others, affects many more 
individuals, spreading their stupidity about like a virus. They should also 
know better - many of them are highly educated. If they have the smarts to 
amass such wealth, then work at being a decent human being, too.
What do you think of this value, from the French?
noblesse oblige - the inferred responsibility of privileged people to act with 
generosity and nobility toward those less privileged.

ten years ago, from a middle class town to a wealthy one, and he said it was

Only if you re-engineer all of them. Otherwise all you do is add a few 
more genes to the pool that the grand sweep of evolution will select 
from. They are useful, or they aren't.


But we'll become a new species someday anyway, who knows what traits 
will be useful or not?

I think they are going down a wrong track and are limited by their
ignorance.

That's OK, nature is blind and wouldn't care if we were smart or not. 
Survival is the only judgement for a species, I can't see how anything 
people do genetically to each other will affect the whole race if it 
stops them reproducing.


 And techniques for longevity have been around for
centuries. It's a part of Ayurveda.

LOL, it's part of the brochure for ayurveda but I haven't noticed my 
friends living longer or healthier lives.


You've never heard of Kayakalpa?  And your friends probably didn't 
either.  Look it up. In a nutshell it's alternating reduction techniques 
(detoxification) and tonification (rejuvenation). Probably not part of 
the MAPI scheme.

When I was on TTC in Europe there was always a Herald Tribune sitting 
around.  I laughed because it contained news that would never get 
printed in the US  and this was in the 1970s.  But they couldn't get 
away with NOT printing it in Europe because business travelers (their 
target market) were aware.


There's a lot of tech suits over patents.  I was put in charge of patent 
creation at the company where I worked.  We all hated the idea but the 
BOD wanted it as a defense against infringement attacks from other 
companies.  Many of these tech patents should have never been granted 
but the US Patent Office was caught unaware and unknowledgeable.


I have occasion to interact with (or at least observe) some of the 
wealthy when I travel to Aspen, Colorado usually once a year spending 
time in a property my parents bought in Snowmass Village some 45 years 
ago.


I draw conclusions just like any of us, and see extraordinary 
generosity among wealthy people and also tremendous pettiness, and 
miserliness, even in my own city.  And sometimes a sort of sickness 
creeps in the psychology where, "you never have enough", and therefore 
become "clutchy"


So, what's the big deal?

I am sticking by my conclusion that having a lot of money changes 
people, and often for the worse.  But, it is by no means a blanket 
indictment.


There was much discussion of this last week as anticipation of a new 
billionaire might occur from the Powerball lottery.  Having a lot of 
money is a responsibility.  Best not left to amateurs and why financial 
advisers are recommended to winners.  Good example of that was Hurly in 
the TV show "Lost" who did indeed get a financial manager who took care 
of things (he did buy the fast food chain he worked at as revenge) and 
was also unaware of what companies he owned.  There is a hilarious scene 
of him meeting with his financial manager where he complains about a 
company that I think was in the news and the manager then tells him he 
owns the company.

[FairfieldLife] Saturn transits

2016-01-19 Thread yifux...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] 
Note: Rahu is conjunct Jupiter 2nd half of January, 2016 and in February.  
Enjoy it while it lasts.  
 

 As to Saturn, this planet does not cause or bring hardships.  It only 
highlights events and trends as to our limitations; but this process is 
sometimes unpleasant.  By analogy, you are about to jump off of a cliff. Saturn 
will push you out of the way, thus preventing an even more unpleasant result.
 Below: Saturn in the houses.

Salyavin,
 

 If these advanced civilizations used panspermia for propagating themselves, 
then it appears that they weren't able to find ways of traveling at the speed 
of light or even at superluminal velocity.  The Srimad Bhagatam mentioned of 
rishis who were able to travel at various locations in the universe.  For 
example, Narada was able to travel the universe apparently through his 
consciousness alone.  It would appear that he was able to arrive at those 
locations instantaneously.
 

 As a sidelight, there is an Indian guru by the name of Dr. Pillai who 
currently teaches his students how to turn themselves into light.  If that is 
true, they could presumably travel to other worlds at the speed of light.  But 
that would also mean that they would be limited to the speed of light.   As 
such, by using the ideas of relativity, it may take them thousands of years to 
travel at the speed of light to another galaxy.   But for the traveler, the 
trip would seem to be instantaneous,

 Human beings could be the result of such extra-terrestrial propagation system.
 

 Only if they did all life on Earth because DNA from all species here is 
completely interrelated, on a cellular level life here is identical apart from 
how genes have radiated from their starting point. Sending us here and faking 
the genome so it looked like we evolved from common ancestors with other apes 
would be an engineering feat beyond imagining!
 

 I'm all for using that method to colonise space though. Be cool if there was a 
way of freezing DNA of people and also resurrecting their memories and 
personality when you grow them at their destination, it'd mean we could all 
travel to the stars one day.

it's done, humans can move in to live in an earthlike environment.
 

 Or, the same super-intelligent robots can be sent to the nearest earth-like 
planets outside our solar system.  They will ride in space rockets that travel 
in conventional speeds.  After thousands of years and upon arrival at their 
destinations, the robots will grow humans on artificial wombs from sperms and 
eggs stored in suspended animation.  The regrown humans will then live and 
repopulate the new earth completely independent from the Old Earth.

 

 Come to think of it, earlier advanced civilizations in the universe may have 
done a similar mode of propagating itself through panspermia.

agreed. A friend of mine works on high end cars. He relocated his shop about 
ten years ago, from a middle class town to a wealthy one, and he said it was 
like night and day; from being considered a craftsman, to a servant. His skill 
sees him through, though, and he doesn't hesitate to turn away business from 
the more problematic ones.

 I have to agree with you on this. Working in an industry where I serve and am 
surrounded by people from every economic echelon (tack store, equestrian supply

those barely able to own and feed a horse. Sometimes the rich folk are 
insufferable and often they are not. Sometimes the financially challenged are 
big pains in the asses and annoying for other reasons. People are people 
irrespective of their economic status and I have found that if you're as ass to

someone start with the 'tude in the store I'm the first one to throw it right

Of course it does, Mike.  I never implied it didn't.
It is just surprising, or maybe not so much, when you see the rich acting like 
misers.
I think having a lot money changes you, and not always for the better.
I am not for taking away the incentive to succeed, I'm just saying that having 
money comes with it's own set of problems.

You can call it *cognitive dissonance* if you like. I just recognize it as B.S. 
based in class warfare. You don't think the poor have  an attitude of disdain 
for the rich that give them a sense of entitlement? It goes both ways.

 We all have a tendency to filter out what we don't want to hear.  I believe 
it's called cognitive dissonance.  
But, I commend you Mike, that you give no ground.  No battle too small for you 
to fight, no point too small for you to dispute.

 You often hear about the sense of entitlement that develops in the ultra rich. 
 An attitude where they feel a disdain for their fellow man.  Manifests in 
things like poor tips, rudeness, not paying bills, or paying late.  
But as was mentioned earlier, that may be a pitfall many would fall into.
I think you have to work hard to stay real, every day.  (-:

  Dude! those are examples. Richpeople don't go out and bury their wealth. They 
buy thingsand/or put it to work. If they put it in a bank, the bankuses it to

with it for services,products and pensions. The money works! The rich manageit.

[FairfieldLife] El Nino is delivering wind and rain today in SF

2016-01-19 Thread jr_...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] 
Despite the gloom of day, the rain is a welcome gift from Nature to quench the 
thirst for water in the land suffering  from drought.

[FairfieldLife] Is this a good idea?

Expert says 're-engineering our children’ will lead to the creation of a

I think they are going down a wrong track and are limited by their 
ignorance.  And techniques for longevity have been around for 
centuries.  It's a part of Ayurveda.

Yup, about time and at least it's warmer than the those arctic air 
storms.  Of course the bureaucrats are saying it won't solve the 
drought. :-D
