Affording health insurance

I have been spending a lot of time trying to rationalize the increase in health insurance premiums that I’ll have to pay in 2017.  The new rate will be more than double the rate for 2016, and more than 5 times what it was before affordable care act was passed. To be fair, this increase…

Dark nothing hypothesis macro-sized particles

The popular dark-matter hypothesis takes for granted the existence of fundamental particles that are outside of human capacity to observe. The hypothesis in the first article is that these hidden particles are as-yet undetected peers of sub-atomic particles we already know. The lack of perturbation of post-collision dark matter implies that if such sub-atomic dark-matter particles exist, they do not collide individually like particles we know. My conjecture is that the entire blob depicted in ghastly blue in the visualization is a single particle, or an agglomeration of galaxy-sized fundamental particles. The collisions didn’t affect these particles because the collisions are trivial for the scale of these particles.

Internal conflict consequences of parallel governments of operations and debt service

Because the governments are distinct and have distinct voting populations, I expect there to be conflicts between the two governments. Such conflicts will be similar to international conflicts but with major differences. The two governments have interspersed populations living in same geographic territories making physical conflict unlikely. For example, in extended families that young and old voters may live in the same house. Also, the two governments are not peers in conflict like nations would be. The operational government would have full control over all of the police and military. Although the government of debt obligations lacks an army, it controls access to new debts needed to finance the provisioning or deployment of forces. In the abstract, there is nothing stopping the armed operational government from conquering the obligation-servicing part of the government.

Truth as a confounding variable that interferes with interpreting data

Dedomenocracy is a scaled up version of modern data science practice using big data predictive analytics to automate decision making. As a data science project, there is a need to evaluate the data in terms of how closely it represents a fresh unambiguous observation of the real world at a specific time instead of a reproduction of a past observation through model-generated dark data. Darker data involves some level of contamination with historic observations or with our interpretation of past observations. The problem with darker data is that its use of old and potentially outdated data can discount more recent observations that can tell us something new and unexpected about the current circumstances of the world.

The role of charters in government by data and urgency

The existence of a charter represents good data that a group (or a couple) have expressed a commitment to cooperate together as a single person. This is strong data for influencing future policies. Part of the calculation that goes into deciding new rules is the evidence that the population will cooperate. In this case, the charters present an advantage of making the offer of committing all of its participants to cooperate with the rules. In general, it is easier to govern corporations than it is to govern individuals. Corporations have means to manage their population to assure cooperation. There are many examples of corporations making firm commitments to police their employees to conform to government regulations including regulations that impact the individual employees. The corporation itself can address disobedience without requiring any effort by the government.
