Conclusion of a Presidents speech


"""" VII.

So -- in this my last good night to you as your President -- I thank you for the many opportunities you have given me for public service in war and peace. I trust that in that service you find some things worthy; as for the rest of it, I know you will find ways to improve performance in the future.

You and I -- my fellow citizens -- need to be strong in our faith that all nations, under God, will reach the goal of peace with justice. May we be ever unswerving in devotion to principle, confident but humble with power, diligent in pursuit of the Nation's great goals.

To all the peoples of the world, I once more give expression to America's prayerful and continuing aspiration:

We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will understand, also, its heavy responsibilities; that all who are insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love. """"

Dwight D Eisenhower, 1961

The Question of GROWTH

Size vs Quality

* When we refer to "growth" I suppose we have to or must distinguish between physical growth and other aspects or forms of growth. Bigger is not necessarily better. Less is at times more. And growth in the physical often comes at the expense of growth in more desireable or other aspects.

* So on this question of "growth", what are the issues?

* What about CommunityScale

11 May 2006 @ 21:14 by swanny : 24D
Its been rumbling around in my head for a while that we are
actually living in a world of about or precisely 24 Dimensions
or Pseudodimensions. This is because with the advent of the 24
standard time zones of 1900 AD or so by Sir Sanford Flemming it solved some problems but created other ones. If one looks thus at each time zone as a kind of distinct temporal reality, which in fact it tends to be, then comprehending these in a global sense one can't deny that there are in a sense 24 current dimensions to contend with instead of the supposed 3 or 4 which is normally considered. Most if not all
tend to dismiss this apparent situation as we are generally mostfixated or concerned with the local dimension or zone we happen to be in. Yet with the internet the apparent situation becomes more augmented and what you get is a global crossing of dimensions and zones as the internet tends to obscure the lines of distinction. Swatch a swiss watch company I think has actually concieved of "internet time" to handle this but it is perhaps and oversimplification of the norm or concern.


?D
3 or 4D may not be enough for most or all but 24D is to many for most or all
as studies indicate that the most amount of stimulous a human can deal with at
the same time is about 7 or 8 before they black out. I mean on paper 24D no problem but in "reality" and effect ? well Sanford was a Scottish Canadian Railway "Engineer" by the way.



6D comprimise
If this is the situation then I would opt for or advise the use of a 6D or
6 standard time zone max instead of the current 24, as although 24 might say increase the speed and global standard of living it is hell on the global quality and enjoyment of life.

Wow I just realized the "global scope" of the situation as actual cities and states and nations ie dimensions have developed around these time zones and the "rushed" state of the world is the result. The world would be less "frantic" if there were less time zones or there ensuing dimensions but the buildup around them would be hard to parcel as the model is now a reality. The solution to a less frantic and more "natural" society or new civilization would though seem to lie in the paring down of these dimensions or zones. The standards may go down thus but I suspect the quality would increase.
