Truth Doesn't Need To Be An "Ism." It Just Needs To Be Formed Cooperatively, Without the "Wanting Ever More," of Money, Getting In The Way


What is the prism
that channels
the vision
of what we see
in "ism;"
whereas social
is hardly vice
until the "ism"
is a prison
of too far
for any Right.

Being social is
being emotional
enough to see
the light of loving
cooperation
in it's own right
of being
balanced dynamically
with the left out
of too much "ish,"
in the suffix of self,
which is no wish
to dismiss
in others
carelessly.

Can you work
out that balance
if you have to
pay
for even the right
to breath
all our airs
of toxicity?
All of the polluted,
fluid necessities,
flowing ever more
recklessly.
Because we used them
so fecklessly.
All in the name
of profit
you see, and
the lust
for counters
that don't count
for anything
that humans really need.


[Post Note: Ordinarily I don't do anything to the Google search results I present to you guys, but this one was an exception. Mostly because "Ism," as a word by itself, is actually a fairly common component in commercial branding. As such, I took it upon myself to remove some of these more obvious, non satirical, references. J.V.]

A Conjecture on Reactance And Whether There's a kind of total Spacetime Impedance we don't understand nearly enough of Yet

[Update to the update: More stuff came in to further refine what I'm trying, hopefully with at least some success, to articulate here, and so I decided to just take it all back in and republish (there are also new "See Also's" that have been added). Thank you all for your patience with me on this, unfortunately stumbling, sort of approach, in attempting to always ask deeper questions, that being a very odd savant, forces upon me. J.V.]

[Update Note: The phrase "Time is the space in duration" has been rattling around in my head for many years now, for reasons, in the "way back when," that have always mystified me, though the feeling it generated has always felt so strong, and resonant. And now, finally, something new just popped in to go along with it, to extend it as a related conjecture here. Something I felt I should just throw in the mix and let see what happens.

So. The phrase now comes out as this:
Time is the space in duration.
Where both "space," and "duration," are relative to your frame of reference, and the vector of experience association that frame is based on.

Let this new, "Side Note #1," and some further thoughts about it, swirl around in your head and see what you think of it. As well as whether it is pertinent to this conjecture as a whole.

J.V.] 


Could there be a type of "reactance" in space itself, when something is accelerated, and that reactance differs depending on the type of acceleration, as well as with what might be accelerated? Not to mention, of course, the frames of mind of the people going about the actions that get things moving at all, and all of the ensuing entanglements that might arise?

When you watch waves rolling in from a picturesque ocean, onto a beautiful beach, sometimes one wave will go much farther than the others, having had more wave volume to work with, and then, with subsequent new waves coming in, the fall back, from the last big one, comes rolling back with what is left of its original water volume. And then you get to see this fascinating undercutting of the new wave, with the fading reactance, of the old one.

There is an incline, in that supposed model, of course that creates that rolling back, as well as what started the interaction, and provide a sink with which to absorb, and then yield back, left over mass/energy. Is that incline a metaphor for something basic in space, as it relates to mass moving through it?

Could this suggest that there is some kind of "pressure wave" ahead of an accelerating mass, that could be the cause of the increasing incline? Is that how nature accomplishes the feat of not letting anything go faster than the speed of light, no matter how much more force you apply to do the acceleration?

This may, or may not, also beg the question of how you might argue the way that mass moves through space (see the "It Seems To Me There Are Now Three Ways To Consider How Meaning (aka Mass) Moves Through Space" sub section of the "Of Course I'm Out Of My Depth Here" post); as in, for instance, is it more like something displacing the fluid like medium around it and, just like such things going through air, or water, it puts counter strain back on the accelerating object.

One thing is for certain, though, thinking about it like this certainly puts up a lot of interesting juxtapositions; especially when you look at it from highly contrasting frames of reference.

[Side Note 1:
Does this statement make sense:


Time is the space in duration.
Where both "space,", and "duration," are relative to your frame of reference, and the vector of experience association that frame is based on.


As I think about this I am then also reminded of something that has to be related.

Isn't it interesting how, when we go ever faster, with the number of frames per second that we might use to capture a moment, in an ever more detailed a sequence, that, when we play it back, at anything near the normal amount needed to depict smooth representation (for human "Meaning Processors" at least), the activity recorded plays ever more slowly.

Kinda also like how, when you go nearly the speed of light, relative to a friend, you experience time more slowly than your friend. Doing so because there are just so many more, arbitrary, frames of change, to deal with, as your total inertia scoots you through resolving the state of every arbitrary thing, at each frame of change, there is to resolve.

]

[Side Note 2:
Might it be possible that our reality, in it's initial phase of aggregating matter, slowly creating concentrations and then singular points of fusion, whereupon more heavier elements came into being, so that newer, more complex aggregates could be associated over time, was a fundamentally different associating environment, than the one that now sports sentient choice makers? And that they are fundamentally different precisely because of a sentient's ever increasing entanglements, caused by ever more powerful extensions of sentient faculties, creating cause, and effect, at greater removes from the sentient's primary scale of consideration. Their primary frame of reference in physical space.
]

[Side Note 3:
But what creates that counter wave that comes back as the reactor to create the total "impedance?" Why must push always come to shove, because an action must always have an equal, and opposite reaction.  For me the feeling says that it has to relate to flows of information; how they are mediated meaningfully, and how the energies created are dissipated usefully.

Potted Frogs, And Slippery Slopes


So you think
you can cope
with the slippery
of slopes, but what
about the hot
that comes to a frog
in a slow
change pot
(I'm alluding to our planet here;
 as to what we putting
 the hot spots to,
 just to be clear,
 so don't be a bore
 and go to the store
 and by a frog
 to put in a pot
 because this is a metaphor
 I implore -- J.V.)?

And now that the hot
change is coming faster
than what's not
electrified down,
and automated up,
being undercut,
disrupted, and absorbed,
where do you jump to?
Especially when we don't
make anything
important here anymore
and you have to see,
with cost crossed eyes,
if you can even afford
to buy common ground,
or the voices to describe it,
to make anything worth
trying to make your last
stand on.

Can you learn
the secret of the Mountain?
Knowing what
to let go
of and when
it's time to take
hold of a reach
that exceeds
your grasp, in a leap
of faith, taking
the risk of falling
for something that has real
meaning, from real
meaningful connections.
Thoughtfully Loving and
Lovingly Thoughtful,
in the hard,
giving as much as you take,
process of negotiating
dynamic balance. Because
that's where the meaning
grows from.
Because if life gives us feces
it's time to find a way
to turn it into fertilizer;
no matter how much
it stinks for everyone,
because we also really need
to be sharing
a lot more of everything.
Don't you think?

Something that I think is worth real sacrifice in order to save. J.V.]

Of Course I'm Out Of My Depth Here


On the one hand, of course, anybody who is dedicated to pushing the envelope, and always trying to find where "too far" is, without actually taking up residence there, is bound to end up "out of their depth," in one fashion or another.

Isn't it interesting how this can apply to a good deal more than just individuals though; taking a philosophy too far perhaps, as opposed to those who would have no philosophy, or morality, other than personal gain, and aggrandizement. Especially now.

I do feel, however, that, before I can criticize others, I should at least come clean on my own shortcomings here, for which, of course, there are at least a few, and none more prominent than my attempt to address a grand philosophical debate; something I can assure you that was not my intention when I started out on just trying to analyze Capitalism, and come up with a better alternative. 

So I actually have little problem in admitting that I am out of my depth in this regard.

It gets more complicated for me, however, because of the unfortunate fact that I am something of a savant; and even there, a very, very odd savant indeed (I was an expert hypnotist at the age of 14, after reading only two books on the subject. Then there's always been a particular affinity for musical instruments, especially the piano; where I can pick up complicated fingering patterns, never practiced before, play them quite quite well for a short while, and then not remember them at all -- of which I have recorded music to prove. And then there's been the affinity for solving complex coding problems nobody else was able to do -- at least in the time frames left, because I was never the first guy brought in to do, whatever form of impossible, that had suddenly cropped up; just to name a few examples).

Because of this, most of what has come to me, on the philosophy side of things, in particular, has come from something other than just rational deduction, and reasoning. I refer to it as "bit streams, by other means," because it is a real thing that is beyond mind meaning space objectivity.

The idea, in fact, that this would occur through thinking about the nervous system, in the rest of our viscera, as a meaning receptor space of its own, capable of receiving such things (much as if we had our own reprogrammable, neural net), with complex codics of its own, came to me, like a ton of bricks, out of the blue, after a meditation session, back in late 2016.

Presently, I am at something of an impasse at the moment in this arena. Both because other things have taken greater priority, but also because the savant reception has been particular spotty lately. Something that happens as a semi regular event to be sure, though possibly more acute lately because I am dealing with some serious health issues right now. The upshot being that months can go by, or even years, before something significantly new, and particular complete, comes along again.

This post is meant to catch you up on a few things that I have been stuck on now, and have had little further input on, for a while now.

Most of what you are going to see here is stuff that has been in draft form for months. It is comprised of just the impressions I've been getting, and the best I've been able to articulate them; interpreting body meaning space being the crazy, wonderful, terrifying, and irresistibly attractive, all at the same time thing that it is. And do also keep in mind that these were. literally, impressions given at a particular moment in time.

They are in order of the most recent first.



A feeling received about ascension:(just received the weekend of the 18th and 19th of Jan.)

When you talk about the idea of ascension, do you not have to also talk about how this can't happen unless some kind of figurative majority, of the multi path that is each of us, is fully integrated with, and on board with the idea, at the get go, or else it's just not going to happen?

And why wouldn't this be the case. How could only one of us make this great leap outside of our particular reality, to form a new objecting layer?

To happen, how could it have at hand the belief power, such a thing would seem to require, in order to use the power of suggestion on all three meaning spaces, for even one reality, to see it realized; not to mention so many others of them, across a nearly infinite range of our, continuously branching, collective of the different variants, that each choice point, in our separate lives, creates a new path for.

I guess what I'm really asking here is if such a thing could happen in isolation of all of the others. And, at first blush, that just doesn't feel quite right.

So then the question becomes, how do you form a, "bit streams, by other means, through the mysteria," kind of cross talk, so to speak, so that some kind of sufficient integration can occur?

So far the only answer I can come up with is that you keep at the meditation that has facilitated things so far and, by trial and error, keep the faith that you are pushing out what you believe, just as much as you stay receptive to new segments from whatever is the most probable source (quite low though that might be, otherwise) . And, of course, for me now, it seems only intuitively straight forward to think that, if any other sentient is possible to link with at all, indirectly, then why wouldn't your own variants be the first, low hanging fruit, from which to make contact with. With what other meaning processor could you be more intimately entangled with?



It seems to me that there are now three ways to consider how meaning (aka mass) effects space: (Draft last touched on 11-05-19)

1: The current thought, of course is that it stretches it in the way of dimpling things in the fabric so as to create the so called gravity well.

2: Another possibility might be that it works like a boat that displaces water; the force of gravity then having to be explained another way.

3: And finally we have my favorite, that the ever on going now is just an infinite overlay of process, all aggregating along a slightly different cosmic angle of aggregating association, and so not in perceivable phase with the perceiving structures of a particular reality.


In other words, does meaning "float," so to speak, in space the same way a boat displaces water, in order to float; or does the process of a point in space simply have more sub processes move in as well, to then start working in interactive conjunction, as a part of the possible, ever ongoing now, that would be realised if a meaning processor were there, in some way, to realize it?

Maybe its another one of those "it's some combination of both," where the relative weights of which should be which, depends on the "special conditionals" I have suggested Cosmologists are going to have to start applying between things like tensor equations, and fast fourier transforms. Conditionals that try to find out how far afield you go, in terms of scales of consideration (whether to include possible entanglement effects at ever lower scales, or higher scales),

Is the ever ongoing "now" merely a way to the refer to the infinite, differently phased, vectors of experience association, that we call realities, each coexpressing their resolutions of choices made, and probabilities realized. And even though it is logical that each reality is its own main source of cause, and effect, that in no way precludes the inevitable leakage that, having the property of "everything is semi permeable," makes inevitable, makes it quite possible that we might be capable of getting complex information structures from streamers very far afield indeed.

Let us not forget that each individual, sentient meaning processor is also their own moving window of now, in terms of the perceptual/behavioral interactions that make up each such individual's process of creating, and expressing, the results of their particular "experience association." And the process of civilization the main way collective agreement is made, more or less, on what that means for the larger sense of what is occurring within the extents of our collective reach.



A Singularity Of What? Expanding How? Cooling How?(Draft last touched 03-12-2019)

Just so choice can be expressed? By ever more informable, and information aware, new interaction, action instigators?

What do you suppose occurs, the very moment the very first sun, in a brand new reality (like ours for instance) when the very first sun fuses a hydrogen atom into another hydrogen to form helium? When no helium has ever existed before.

I ask this question because it seems to me that it begs the question of what "mass" does to spacetime. Does it occupy space, as we assume a chair occupies space in a room (because the chair doesn't make the room any bigger), or does it displace it literally, so as to preclude it from having anything but itself, and its field effects, from doing any interacting with with space inside of its area of field effect, even as it also expands space time, a little more, in the bargain.

This is intriguing to me precise because, in a way, what has to happen here is that two becomes one (only under great, pressing circumstances, certainly), but only as two formally separate things now cooperating meaningfully as one. Two things that once occupied space are taken away and joined to create more inner space, because there is now more inner objects making the new whole, but to what effect on the space that once had two, but for which there is now only a perceived one? And a quite new one to boot?

Is it the energy released by the fusion itself that forces the expansion, or is it the new, supposed displacement, of something that takes up more space, because it has more area of boundary effect, Or is it the increased complexity of the objects that the reality creates? Or perhaps some combination of both?

In the former situation wouldn't one expect there to be very little, if any, net gain in spacetime at all? Certainly not the accelerating expansion we see now, which of course means you have to invent "dark energy," as well as "dark matter."

Would a reality keep expanding if it did not ever create any choice expressors? Expand simply because of the heat dissipating from a supposed infinite mass as it seeks to coalesce from absolute plasma to discrete beginning objects, from which interaction time, and the property sets of the objects in question, which includes the fabric of space itself mind you, then begin to see if more complex interactive objects can then be aggregated. And then, with those, make still more complexity yet, to begin the process anew.

You Can't Hide, From The Relative Divide


I am
but one,
as a drop,
in vast oceans
of so many,
that are different,
even
as my one
is so many
other things
that make me
inside.

For it takes
so many
process steppers
spinning cycles,
integrated to abide,
giving and taking,
balanced to provide,
to keep such complexity
alive;
so where
is the real
divide?

It's there
and you can't
hide from
the relative divide.
For it makes you
in the struggle
to put something
aside
to bargain
with the other side's
aside, keeping
faith in giving
as good
as you get and
getting
as good as
you give.
That's the loving grooves
that the cycles
could provide.

Yes, it's there
and you can't
hide from
the relative divide.
For it makes you
in the struggle
to decide
that we have to work
the compromise
that keeps us
and the divide
alive.

The rub
of difference,
you see,
is what grinds
out the nature
of our energy
and how
sentient choice
matters
most matter of factly,
as we make
and believe
in the three
meaning spaces
of our reality.

Yes, it's there
and you can't
hide from
the relative divide.
For it makes you
in the struggle
to decide
that life's too precious
to let a little
sacrifice,
each in our time,
end the ride; 
to keep
the whole thing
spinning,
so the good grooves
of meaning
can let us feel
the knowing,
and know
the feeling,
for the harmony 
that hard won
balance can provide.

The Rudes Of Vicissitudes


The rudes of vicissitudes,
totally of our own making,
for how can you
see any difference
differently when
everybody's faking,
for the baking
of their fantasy
into our brains.
The ones that burn
the branding
with social sugar coating
most demanding
so the herd doesn't notice
their new livestock standing.

For everything's a contest
of competitive commoditization
and zero sum
accomodation.
So you can sell
the other guy
on being sold out
and sucking on
the seduction
most addictively.

So marginalize
as a weapon
and target your deceptions
with total air
and wire waves
of message superiority.
So they can't
even understand
the hope
of shooting down
the lies that bomb
the shit out of reality.

And then
you can continue to sell them
on the rightness
of being something only
for sale in the first place.
And that wiring direct
to each and every lesser
brain
will contain the answer
to all of a controller's fantasies.
And the controlled won't
know to be anything
but what they're programmed
to be.

And what marvelous
consumers they will all
come greatly
to be
when it finally ends
most disgustingly.
And only the controllers
will know the true
travesty. Such
a pity of wasted
clarity.

Just drink the aid


Has vice,
branded so nice,
but priced
as a real squeezer,
become too hard,
as the impenetrable
debt she's taken
you trusting on,
to be more
desperately sharp,
just to please her?

Just drink the aid
the fool-aid
as his stock
in trade
for the T-Chump Brigade.
For him and Vice
were really made
to lay you low
to take that sharp
and undercut
each other.

Gulp gulp
mind to pulp,
and impulse
put in charge,
without any adult
safeguards;
so let the absurdity begin.
Forget growing up,
or owning up,
and never have to
do conscience again.

Drink the fool-aid
if you want
to get way
laid low paid,
or simply made
to be mad,
sick, alone,
and afraid;
just drink the aid.

And all you'll need to mount
is just learn to count
the meaningless
holders that make
believe
invisible hands
can peel, feel, or steal
real things
from formerly real
people.

For its the biggest
pile that makes em
smile
and ready
to eat more shit for,
no matter
what gets buried,
or the real
stink that gets raised,
in the name
of you your new
"Dear Leader."

Just drink the aid
the fool-aid
as his stock
in trade
for the T-Chump Brigade.
For him and Vice

each other.
So do not worry,
It will all be over soon.

A Year End Confessional, And A New Year's Resolution


Forgive me, one and all, for I too have wallowed in the sin of "Greed."

How could it not be so when it's too easy to be greedy, these days, for ever so many more of is, in so many different ways. Because, I think, greed is an essential aspect of addiction itself. And of course, nothing sells like an addiction. Whether you are trying to sell others, or yourself, on a particular new choice of action.

And speaking as a child born into what has always seemed to me to be an addictive confluence of blood lines, with both my folks being great candidates of "poster children" status for a "have you seen this missing addictive?" campaign; speaking with that kind of pedigree, I think I can safely say that I am also a very greedy person.

I could start with this observation: What about my own problem with "how much is enough."

That is to say my problem with feeling inadequate to this task, and always feeling I'm not doing enough. An absurdity, of course, to begin with as, how could you possibly calculate what would be enough from this side of "it's nowhere near getting done." But then, that doesn't necessarily stop you from becoming addicted to the anguish in either the "unfairness" of it all, that you should be saddled with such a burden, or, at the other extreme, the assumed deification of being a martyr enough to finally win the impossible mantle of "deserving" the deification in the first place (if you could just survive that one more, ultimate, mea culpa, "cleansing" test of pain).

I have to fight a continuing struggle for not living life too close to too many edges. Because, of course, life at the edge of "too far," once you get used to the pain, and the loneliness, you can't help but want to see, and know, so ever much more; to feel the attainment of ever greater levels of complexity, of not only understanding, but also of making new expressive use of these gifts of understanding, as well; perhaps to be, at some point, the one who realizes the expression that can only be expressed in a wholly knew, objective layer of reality, outside this one; becoming something new, in that new reality, in the process; because the realization, and the grasping, automatically re create you as the new thing that has always been able to do that kind of grasping; because we exist in an entirety of infinite potential.

It is, of course, a part of the package of human frailties. Frailties that also have an amazing ability to leverage each other, for a bewildering array of possible, positive and negative, effects, at the same time; to which the net, resulting effect, always depends greatly on the physical meaning space situations we perceive, moment to moment, and which then beg for certain, hopefully informed, choices to be made, so as to be able to continue making choices, in the first place.

You have to understand, though, that even personalities are complex sets of interlocking, iterative systems of self preserving belief. And they too have, at any given moment, limited carrying capacities. Just as the biological system, also complexly interlinked, has. Do too much of one passion, or another, too soon, and you will change too much of what you aspire to be as far as "Dynamic Balance" is concerned.

So much more capability now. So much more to tempt us. Now that so many of our faculties have been extended, and super powered; creating new instrumentality within of all 3 of the meaning spaces we exist in ("Physical Meaning Space", "Mind Meaning Space", and "Body Meaning Space"); instrumentality with ever more boundary crossing effects than ever before, so that what we think, do and feel, spreads out from us, as one rock affecting many ponds, in expanding rings of either push, or pull. And all of that interacting with the same thing possibly coming from every other sentient meaning processor out there, trying to make their own informed, or not so informed, choices. As they, too, face all of the growing list of temptations.

The bottom line here is certainly what this means for what we should have as a New Year's Resolution. For me it it what it has always been, as I am a personality made of up opposites who must do what the world must do, which is to never give up on trying to mediate a compromise between whatever any individual extreme might tempt you with. Mediate a compromise that respects both the need to attend to the "here and now," in practical ways, but also to the "what could be," in needs that lay beyond the merely "practical." To mediate the balance between working hard, and feeling good. Where both of those concepts have real, deep, meanings, for all those willing to be deeply involved to make the compromises work, and also feel right.

So I would urge you to resolve to never give up trying to mediate; not only the differences percolating around you in the actions of others, but your own conflicting struggles with the waring differences within yourself. Only with this will we all be able to heal, both from the outside in, as well as from the inside out.

Transparent Man


Transparent man
why do you hide
whatever you can?

Transparent man
always with the plan
for throwing others
against the fan,
putting a lot of stink
in the way
of what makes
visions sway,
because the tears
always get in the way.

Transparent man
you say so many things
because your words
are just monkied
rings
for ignorant clings
on diverting swings
to encourage others
to be hung out,
flinging
your shit for you.

Transparent man
don't you see
what blowing smoke
as fast as you can
only makes more clear
your true fear
for us to know
your "what I am."

Transparent man
feigning so much
injury,
amidst so much luxury,
when it all could have ended
so easily, without
you fighting endlessly
to let us see
your supposed transparency.

Maybe in seeing
through your "transparency"
is the way we'll finally
get to know our own
miseries
and see how they involve
finally shaking
the money tree
that made seeing
naked authoritarianism
more sinful
than not being free,
which only the rich
can now afford to be.

What Do You Think Of When You Hear The Phrase "I will fight no more forever."


For me it must start with trying always to realize a simple truth. A truth so simple, and obvious, in fact, that it is nearly always quite difficult to truly notice, and appreciate.

That truth is this:

That those who follow the path laid out, generally, by what is suggested in the very nature of either side of the divide between believing in systems derived by either of the dictates of my two most elemental opposites in Cosmolosophy, have something in common. Something that can be seen
in the dictates of a "Higher Power" (or the "Great Father," or "Father Fortress," as I like to refer to it)  or the dictates of a "Higher Purpose" (or "the "Great Mother", or "Mother Earth," as I also like to call it -- understanding here that either side can have its representative be either gender in the old sense, so it warrants dropping the old declarations of he, or she) that those followers, each in semi regular fashion, in following those dictates, actually can, and do, come up with both useful, and necessary ways, from time to time, to deal with existence, given the current state of contingencies, in the current way of operating, in the current state of the operating environment, that they find themselves in.

By the same token, of course, both sides have a similar semi regular facility for suggesting other options to deal with current reality conditions that are the opposite of the previous statement. Which is of course where much of the difficulty in continuing negotiations, for either side, comes from.

The much more important realization here, however, is that in no way does getting it right, on occasion necessarily prove anything regarding the particular belief system itself. Any more than getting it wrong, on occasion, necessarily proves anything either.

To put that in other words, just because a good way to do things, for a while, comes from one side, or the other, does not automatically prove the supremacy of that belief system. Only that, as I see it, that the people using it can be as creative, in a challenging situation, as anybody else, in other systems (not that they necessarily will be).

As well to say, though, that, at different times, and different situations, the strengths, and weaknesses, of either side's dictates, in living these very disciplines, that must be maintained, to adhere to those dictates, in significant numbers of occasions, gives one side, or the other, the better chance of providing the better choice determination, and the subsequent carrying out process. to succeed in that challenging situation.

This is why we must listen to believers in whatever system they might walk a life path in. They are people, first and foremost, just like us, trying to provide for the whole range of human need; and in most instances these days, in quite difficult circumstances. And just because an idea comes from somebody in an abhorrent belief system to you, does not automatically preclude the ideas viability, for what we might face in any given moment. Any more than it should automatically suggest the validation of the belief system itself, of the believer in question, either.

We must listen and we must try to alway work accomodation. Which is the whole point of trying to figure out a "Grand Compromise," in the first place. To do otherwise is to continue waring amongst ourselves, hands at each other's throats, even as the great ship of life we live on, sails on to a quite discernable, and very terrible, abrupt confrontation with the cold facts about the carrying capacities of vastly integrated, vastly complex systems. Something that I still believe we could avoid if we mobilized as a Nation, comprehensively; finding a way to make our work be the living of individual communities, equitably sharing all of the tasks it takes to make a particular community go, coordinating together as a Federation of communities, or City States, or whatever else you'd like to call them, so that each community has not only its share of what the nation as a whole can do, materially, but that each also supports that total, Federation effort, to the degree that they are able to; with people power, and regional support of Federation Wide, productive ability, and material assets.

This is at least part of what I think about when I think about the statement "I will fight no more forever."

What about you.
