From the desk of Rex Mortar:
I’m Hank Mortar, and I’m a University-educated redneck. Things that were only dreams 100 years ago have become reality in the present. Discovery and invention builds upon itself to make possible the impossible!
It seems as if no problem is insurmountable. Given enough time we can develop any desired technology! Before digital computers there was a book called, Principia Mathematica, by Bertrand Russel, that proved machines could perform logic.
It wasn’t until after the publication of that book that anyone dreamed of computers. Unless there is some outline to prove the possibility of a concept, it cannot be rationally hoped for. This is especially true for robots.
The idea of replicating human thought process and physical abilities, and even improving on those, and packaging it in robot form, is not a realistic concept. WHY? No one has developed a concept of how such a thing could be done!
There are many problems. The primary problem is that to model the human mind using digital-computing technology would require more energy than has been produced by the sun since the beginning of the Universe. That’s far more energy than is available for humans to use in such a pursuit!
The second problem regards how the human body is made. For its strength it is the lightest possible, and for its energy output, it is the most efficient. So, robots would need to be very heavy and use a much more energy to physically mimic a human.
Humans have adapted everything we make to ourselves. If any machine is going to help us, it needs to fit into everything else mankind has built; that is, it needs to interface with the human world. It must operate an elevator, drive a car, walk up and down stairs, communicate using spoken language, read, speak, interface to the Internet, sense and mitigate dangers to itself, be agreeable, solve problems, and perform physical tasks using tools designed for human use.
But even getting a robot to walk on two legs has proved next to impossible. Making a humanoid robot that can get up after it falls down has proved impossible. There is no rational theory to guide us in the quest to produce artificial humans. Until new technology is available, humanoid robots are nothing but vapor!
What about artificial intelligence? That’s another pipe dream; human arrogance at its peak! How about a computer that talks and understands speech? That is limited by the amount of available energy. Digital computers cannot be made powerful enough, while at the same time efficient enough, to produce a thinking machine!
A computer called, Deep Blue, was created by IBM Corporation to play chess. It actually defeated the world’s champion in several games. There is a PC computer program that can defeat all but the top 11 chess players in the world!
Pretty impressive, until one takes into consideration that chess is only the tiniest fraction of what the human mind can do. Deep Blue consumed enough electrical power to run a small city, and that was just to play chess!
You’d have to multiply the energy consumption by millions to power a computer to approximate the human mind! There simply is not the available energy source to power such a machine nor the available land mass area to hold such a massive computer!
Google.com is one of the largest consumers of electrical power in the world. Yet, it isn’t even close to artificial intelligence. The human being is capable of inspiration from God, something no machine can do!
There are those who don’t believe in God. Consequently, they are unable to inspire from God. If you look at the body of work produced by such people, none of it is truly original, because truly new knowledge comes only from God!
The Freedom From Religion Society wants to free society from the influence of religion. But they want that only to justify their own sin, to sate their god complexes, and to eliminate competition from those who can inspire from God!
The only authentic path to godhood is to become like God. Those who oppose God on the grounds that it makes one a lone authority over truth, are relegating themselves to perish inside a shrinking world!
By seeking truth from the mind of God, and forgiveness from the heart of God, the human mind learns to love its own heart. It is the love of the mind that knows truth, for its own heart that knows forgiveness from sin, that is the soul. People who fight against truth are fighting against the entire Universe, because everything else is doing the will of God!
Renewable energy sources are not renewable. In order to provide sufficient energy for the world’s needs, every square inch of land mass area would need to be covered by solar panels. Solar-electric panels are particularly wasteful, converting only a small fraction of solar energy to electric current.
Equipment to convert solar power to electrical power requires mining and refinement of raw materials, manufacturing, and transportation; all of which require massive amounts energy! That must be taken into consideration when evaluating “green energy” products.
If the environmental pollution produced by the energy input into green products is more than the amount of pollution saved by use of such products, then they actually pollute more than conventional energy products.
There is a device that plugs into the wall. It is connected by a wire to a solar panel mounted outdoors. All of the energy produced by the solar panel is put back on the electrical grid. The electrical utilities pay customers for the power they put back on the grid. That is, an electric meter can run forward and reverse, depending on which direction the electricity flows. So, when a customer puts power back on the grid, their electric meter runs slower.
People are jumping out of their pants to pay $300-$400 USDollars for such a device, because it’s a win-win! They’re making clean energy and getting paid for it! They’re offsetting the dangerous greenhouse effect produced by electrical power plants.
But the amount of power produced by the device, over it’s 20-year lifespan, is worth less than the initial investment, and the environmental pollution produced to make the device is more than it will ever offset! Math is important. Green energy products do not reduce the amount of pollution in the environment, because they require energy to produce.
No one has any breakthrough ideas on how to make cleaner energy than we already have. Ethanol burns cleaner than gasoline, so we add it to motor fuel. But energy is required to produce ethanol. If we take energy input into consideration, then ethanol pollutes more than gasoline! So, just burning the gasoline without the ethanol pollutes less!
Climate change, or global warming, is a faith-based belief system! Yes, the climate is warming over the earth. But there is no evidence that carbon emissions are causing a significant change in temperature. The best argument I’ve heard is, “98% of all scientists agree that carbon emissions are producing a greenhouse effect that is causing global warming.”
Even if that statistic is true, without hard evidence to back it up, the consensus is worthless. If I say, “The Universe exists inside a giant computer monitor that has is recreated 60 times per second. But people evolved in the midst of that monitor refresh rate, so they don’t notice it,” even if everyone agrees with me, that doesn’t make my words true.
The climate-change movement is a faith-based belief system. There is no hard evidence to back up the conclusions drawn from the warming of the earth, in regards to carbon emissions and how they contribute to it. It is pure conjecture!
But what about sea-level rise? The sea level is not rising everywhere. Unless it is rising over the whole earth, it’s not rising. It is typical for sea levels to change along coastlines; rising higher for several decades, and then receding for several decades.
No one can demonstrate sea-level rise over the entire sea! It isn’t happening. Low velocity but persistent air currents can raise sea levels in certain coastal areas over a period of years or decades. That doesn’t mean the sea level is rising everywhere.
It’s the same old ploy used by greedy capitalists time and time again. Du Pont Chemical Corporation began secretly funding research into a hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica, that opened up with regular seasonal periodicity.
At the same time, Du Pont funded research into destructive effects of its own chlorofluorohydrocarbon refrigerants on the atmospheric ozone layer. Through periodic leaks of information from both studies, a group a faithful zealots formed. They were up against the ultimate architect of all evil—Du Pont—poised to destroy all life on the planet!
Their job? To save the world from certain destruction at the hands of a giant chemical company!
Part of the problem in abandoning religion is that people have been battling Satan since the beginning of time! They have looked to God for inspiration in the quest for truth! People have always been trying to save themselves from ultimate destruction.
But now people place their faith in science, and like with a nose ring, they are lead by whatever capitalists place in their minds! Those environmentalist faithful were really going to sock it to Du Pont, by getting a ban on conventional refrigerants.
The hysteria reached an all-time high in which a global treaty was made to ban the use of chlorofluorohydrocaron refrigerants. But Du Pont’s patents were running out soon. It wanted a ban on its old refrigerants, because it had formulated and patented new refrigerants. Without a ban on the old refrigerants, after the patents ran out, anyone could manufacture them, and the price (along with profits) would drop significantly.
In the end, the old refrigerants were banned in the United States only. Every other nation on earth was permitted to manufacture and use them as they always had.
The ozone hole above Antarctica was due to a volcano beneath it, not by conventional refrigerants being released into the atmosphere. Those who know God know truth. Those opposed to God are easily misled by the fad du jour ( of the day ).
So, in the same vein as climate change, Du Pont used mass hysteria caused by ignorance to truth, to create an exclusive market for its newly formulated (and patentable) refrigerants. It has cost U.S. consumers billions of Dollars. And it was all based on vapor!
Climate change is the work of the imagination as lead by Satan! Satan tells the ignorant that their trendy, hip, informed and cool. They provide no evidence to support carbon emissions causing climate change. They simply rely on opposition to the absolute code of moral conduct—especially in regards to the use of the human reproductive system—imposed by God Almighty upon the entire Universe.
Those opposed to God will always fall for Satan’s tricks! It’s the same way with global warming! Capitalists rely on human ignorance. They say, “There is a limit to intellect. But no such limit exists on stupidity!
The populace of the United States has fallen into a waking dream in which all real problems—disease, famine, war, terrorism, addiction, criminal behavior, racial injustice, gender inequality, global warming, poverty, and even sadness will all be solved by superior understanding and technology. If we will only give government the authority and control it needs, all of our problems will eventually vanish!
People spend countless hours meditating on statistics to gain security. They imagine a world in which everyone loves everyone else, and no one is ever offended. The dreaming masses don’t like to be bothered by truth, because they find it upsetting.
When they finally do wake up it will be too late! Imagination is a wonderful thing when bridled by the truth of the Judeo-Christian God and the doctrine of the holy Bible! The way to utopia is to abandon the ways of sin and follow the path of Christian perfection!
Couldn’t we just throw money at the problems we face. Money can’t buy atonement for sin. Therefore, it cannot buy happiness. The best cure for disease is education on prevention! No amount of money will free the world of all disease, because billions of people are mistaken about the cause of disease.
The prevailing attitude regarding disease in sub-Saharan Africa is that it is caused by the wrath of deceased ancestors. The practice of medicine is viewed as useless, because it does nothing to appease the dead!
By the time the sick have exhausted the cures from the witch doctor, they are too ill to survive even with medical treatment. So, medical doctors lose many patients. This fact reinforces the belief that medical doctors are useless to cure disease.
The AIDS epidemic in Africa is caused by sodomy. The black males have a preference for sodomy over normal sexual relations. Until the sodomy is addressed, AIDS will stay put! The Roman Catholic Church first teaches atonement by The Perfect Living Sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Once people experience the love of Christ in their hearts, they Robots, Space Travel, Computers, Ending All Disease, Artificial Intelligence, Unlimited Clean Energy, Global Warming, Climate Change, Greenhouse Effect, Ozone Depletion, Utopia . . .are able to abandon false beliefs, and understand the truth! But the mind marred by guilt has no understanding, so it can only believe falsehood!
First, people must learn the truth! Then they can learn everything else. The world is steeped in deceit. Those who believe it are fools!
What was truth is truth now, and it always will be truth. There is one truth. Everything else is wrong!
