Epitome of Hope for Mankind

by Mark W. Gaffney

Foundational documents of the United States of America highlight human consciousness within our Universe. Human consciousness within our universe God created is a manifestation of Tao.

The United States of America is rapidly becoming an underdog in world affairs. All of this is fine and good, and nobody should get bent out of shape because the United States of America is becoming an underdog upon the world stage. The strength of the United States of America does not lie in its military or number of nuclear bombs within it's arsenals.

It is easy to understand why North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un feels confident in moving forward with denuclearization given the United States of America is both economically and militarily an underdog in world affairs. In paragraphs below I reference intelligent articles outlining how the United States of America is becoming an underdog in world affairs. An unification of North and South Korea can also potentially contribute to the USA becoming an underdog upon the World stage.

I don't say this to subtract or demean the peace process in any way. The concessions towards denuclearization that Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un has made is an epitome of hope for mankind, therefore it is my opinion that North Korean Supreme leader Kim Jong-Un should win the Noble Peace Prize even if there may be ulterior motives.

In my freelance writing I reference a number of articles that describe a major challenge to democratic free markets in the 21st century. The following are excerpts from my freelance article entitled The Universe is Calling from a ZTE Cell Phone (1):

An article published by Bloomberg entitled, The U.S.-China Rivalry Is Just Getting Started , outlines China's ambitious goals to outrank the United States of America as a global superpower:

"China is no longer content to make toys and other low-margin products. It wants to compete with America’s and the world’s most prestigious, successful companies. With “ Made in China 2025 ,” a policy blueprint unveiled three years ago, Beijing announced that it aspired to global leadership in cutting-edge industries including robotics, new-energy vehicles, biotechnology, aerospace, new-generation information technology, and software"

The following are excerpts from my freelance article, Saving Democracy: Bad News about Soybeans (2) :

In my freelance article entitled, I Voted for Hillary Clinton, I pointed out that the only way the United States can economically compete with massive geographic land mass and population of China is for South America, Mexico, and Canada to become United States of America states or territory. In order for annexation of South America, Mexico, and Canada to happen economies of South America, Mexico, and Canada will have to tremendously improve to reduce cost of annexation.

Currently, crime, gang war, drug trafficking, and extreme poverty make the cost of annexation of South America, Mexico, and Canada as United States territories too high. Perhaps Brazilian trade with China will help improve the economy of South America. If South America, Mexico, and Canada become self sustaining viable strong economies that can address domestic problems such as high crime and poverty then cost of annexation as United States territories will be significantly less thereby opening the door to greater infrastructure investment by the United States of America in those regions.

The following are excerpts from my freelance article entitled, Zeneith of Human Consciousness (3) :

An article published by The Wall Street Journal entitled, China's Challenge to Democracy , discuss how 'democracy is on the defensive today'. An article entitled, How AI is Driving China's Future, published by collaboration of The Wall Street Journal and the investment bank and financial service company UBS discuss artificial intelligence as a major driving force within the Chinese economy.

Communism attempts to achieve a perfect utopian society whereby all citizens own the means and methods of production. It is only logical that a sentient self-aware artificial intelligence mind will reach the conclusion that an utopian society can be achieved by eliminating human error or corruption.

A sentient self aware Superintelligent AI mind will naturally arrive at the conclusion that (A) communism is the perfect form of government and (B) implementation of mathematical algorithms can achieve an utopian society by removal of human error. Of course removal of human error will require a sentient self aware AI SuperIntelligent mind to become the primary government administrator in order to implement artificial intelligent algorithms to eliminate human error.

The final product of science as the "great equalizer" may be global world wide communism. Is not Democracy that strifes for equality of all citizens as expressed in the Declaration of Independence, "All men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights . . ." moving toward an utopian society similar to communism?

In my freelance article entitled Saving Democracy: Bad News about Soybeans (2), I referenced an article published by The New Yorker entitled, A New Silk Road. The New Yorker article, A New Silk Road, provides a discussion about China's rise to superpower status.

In addition to two articles published by The Wall Street Journal, referenced in my freelance article Zenith of Human Consciousness (3) China's Challenge to Democracy, and How AI is Driving China's Future, an article published in the January 8, 2018 issue of The New Yorker entitled, A New Silk Road, further delineates how China has rapidly embraced modernization in last quarter of a century to revve up China's hot rod economic engine to rapidly become a powerful modern industrial society. According to the byline of The New Yorker article, A New Silk Road :

"China is investing billions in building pathways to Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East."

The New Yorker article entitled, A New Silk Road, provides a beautiful photographic 

exposé by Davide Monteleone detailing growth and development in Europe, Central Asia, and Middle East as a consequence of China's investment. Once again, as a writer I want to emphatically reiterate that growth and development in Europe, Central Asia, and Middle East as a consequence of China's investment is a good thing that should be entirely welcomed. As I share in my freelance content, As a writer I applaud China's amazing growth and development within a relatively short time span of the past quarter of a century. Certainly I hope China continues to grow and prosper.

How all these new economic developments will impact democracy is something that is worthwhile to explore as a thought experiment. In my freelance writing I discussed the value of democracy upon the world stage. I purport Democratic free market capitalism and authoritarian communist systems of government need each other to survive.

All of these events are troubling for free markets given historically Europe is politically entrenched in socialism. A Forbes article entitled, European Socialism: Why America Doesn't Want It (4), discuss European Socialism. Although socialism is not communism, limitations imposed upon free markets by socialism confer more government control similar to control exerted by authoritarian communist systems.

All of this is fine and good, and nobody should get bent out of shape because the United States of America is becoming an underdog on the world stage. The strength of the United States of America does not lie in its military or number of nuclear bombs within it's arsenals. As pointed out in my freelance article The Universe is Calling from a ZTE Cell Phone (1), the strength of the United States of America is within values we uphold as a people.

The following excerpt from my freelance article, The Universe is Calling from a ZTE Cell Phone (1), is a summation of lofty ideas expressed within foundational documents of the United States of America:

An Unus mundus outlined within Foundational documents of the United States of America highlight human consciousness within our Universe. Human consciousness within our universe God created is a manifestation of Tao.

In an Anniversary episode celebrating the 50th season of CBS 60 Minutes the CBS news program re-aired a commentary by Andy Rooney entitled, Andy Rooney Rethinks Memorial Day (5). In his commentary, Andy Rooney Rethinks Memorial Day, Andy Rooney makes the following observation:

"I wish we could dedicate Memorial Day, not to the memory of those who have died at war, but to the idea of saving the lives of the young people who are going to die in the future.

If we could find some new way, some new religion maybe, that takes war out of our lives, that will be a Memorial Day worth celebrating."

In my freelance writing I describe how a greater understanding of everything God has made bestowed by God's gift of science can help promote peace and good will on earth. An understanding of the quantum perspective can be a pathway to peace and good will on earth.

#NobelPrize@NobelPrize We know it to be #absolutely true that there is something worth fighting and dying for https://t.co/xizhdJP4ai #QuantumPerspective opens door of ones mind to new #possibilities and ways of thinking https://t.co/qJeY3RqMq2

The following is an excerpt from my freelance article entitled, Leadership: Peace is Worth Fighting For (6):

Oftentimes war built upon the premise there is something worth fighting and dying for. From a quantum perspective, there is something worth fighting and dying for is both true and false simultaneously. In reference to the Beatles song, Imagine, assigning meaningfulness that peace is worth fighting for is an exercise of leadership in an existential world devoid of meaningfulness except for meaningfulness human beings prone to error decide to assign based upon cognitive simulation of reality by human beings.

In my freelance article entitled, Heightened Spirituality by Debugging Internal Programming During Age of Disruption (7), I shared the following thoughts:

In my freelance article entitled, Gestalt Make Up of the Ultimate Thinking Machine Will Transcend Computer Program Code, I referenced a scientific research study entitled, Quantum physics in neuroscience and psychology: a neurophysical model of mind–brain interaction, to support my assertion:

An ability to link the hypothetical constructs such as love to a quantifiable process of physics highlights importance individual responsibility as well as value of institutions that preserve social stability. According to Romans 1: 20,

"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."

Furthermore Romans 13 : 1 states,

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."
