If You Have a Random Thought, Post it Here.

I'm glad you can see that. 

I have grown up a lot more privileged than billions of other children in the world, being white and upper middle class. I saw and see homeless people everywhere almost no matter where I go in the U.S. (and even Sweden). I rarely do anything to help, sympathetic as I am, which does leave me feeling terrible for homeless people. 

I think I let myself off the hook a little bit just by acknowledging my privilege and how grateful I am not to be in their position. 

There was a song my dad told me about once. I forgot exactly how it goes, but it had something to do with being grateful for what you have and sympathizing with those under you (socially, economically, etc), because tomorrow, you could be in their position too.

It often seems to me a difficult groove to keep to, unending charity.

The effort, expectation that one could hold to it I mean.

Though it 'might not be,

Some people are 'highly active in their frequent efforts for others,

But even so, I have difficulty imagining it being easy to habituate all humans to such.

Sociological outcomes, regardless of what one 'hopes a person might choose,

Regardless, a statistical outcome can result,

Implying a great difficulty.

. . . Also there's the problem of 'convincing a person they 'ought to hold to such.

. . .

I'm charitable on occasion,

Usually out of being surprised and close to a need in my face,

It being a person or situation I am close to some,

. .

Or being bothered by other's helping me, 'more than I've helped others, random acts of kindness by strangers towards me I mean,

I feel a need to balance the scales some, pass it along to other random strangers.

Still, at times I regret helping others, should the action have cost me something I value.

Ah selfishness,

Some of my family, creep me out a 'little bit at times,

In the difference of degree, we hold helping others, they're rather strong for it.

Certainly outward and inward examination, is valuable to empathy.

"When you see a worthy person, endeavor to emulate him. When you see an unworthy person, then examine your inner self." - Confucius

"New International Version

When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

Well, even a partial memory of the song your dad told you of, sounds useful, appreciable.

. . .

Well, one never knows a stranger in public, until they're observed a bit,

Fun surprise at times,

When one makes a connection, or meaning, where one knew not before, it would be there.

You're a person I've enjoyed talking with as well,

Worth the time, the thought.

Just came across what I think is a recent interview with Roger Penrose {1965 prove GR math was correct } 

Recent Roger Penrose on ...' Does Randomness Exist '... go to 25:47

Yeah Im only half way through it.   Quantum = random-ness and Classical = causal/deterministic

I think Gravity and Dark Energy play role in ultra-micro existence of causality for all that occurs in occupied space Universe.

Chaos/random-ness/disorder exists only because human mind and some instrumentation, cannot find the ultra-micro, underlying order.

Entropy is orderly dis-integration, and ultimately, in a finite, occupied space Universe, leads to the "Heat Death ' scenario of Universe, i.e. to a single, ultra-low frequency { ultra-long wave so very flat } photon of coolest possible temperature.

Syntropy is the orderly re-ingtegration of above heat death photon   ---see Fullers graphic here LINK---  as initalizing Big Bang. Be clear here that this minimal structural photon would at minimum a 3D tetrahedron, very flat tetrahedron.

I personally see the scenario for ending initialing next cycling as big bang more complex than that.  I will spare you details and just present the simple graphic bi-lateral logo I used to  express a more complex concepts....O|O....

In that scenario, the single line | as flat aspect of heat death Universe, and on each side , and overlapping the flat | aspect, we have two ultra-micro { ergo invisiible and non-quantizable } dynamic, 5-fold icosahedra with God knows how many primary, 2ndary, trinary etc sets of great circles  ----actually 3D tori in my Cosmic scenarios.

So we maybe could say, that that, the seeming flat heat death photon  ---a dynamic, yet collapsed as seemingly flat, Vector Equilibrium  LINK ---- and it begins to expand back-outwards, sucking in the bilateral set of two icosahedra on each side.  Then it reaches a maxium, and contracts backinward to ultra-flat again, repeat, repeat repeat.

So that is older scenario I used for years.  And it may approximate accuracy, however, with newer Space-time tori ideas, I have occasionaly here presented another idea, wherein, every set of overlapping tori-based paraticles of Universe, have all of the inside the tube reality  --stuff we can quantise--- dissiapate in to outer gravity surface, travel on geodesics and re-enter on as negative curvature Dark Energy invaginations, and this occurs the inside the tube reality { /\/\/\/ }, is cumalitvely assimilataing  near inner curvature and when enough accumulates there is Dark Inflation moment, then.

...it as slows and this inside the tube sine-wave of reality is moving toward outer positive Gravity once again, and the process repeats..  I dont know, but in this latter scenario, maybe the inside the tube reality, IN EVER Particle is become ultra-long wave ergo heat death of our visible reality that in short time the whole falls into out outer Gravity field and spit back out from innner Dark Energy Field of EVERY PARTICLE of reality.
