No Dark Energy Needed

Scientists have made extensive new measurements and found out that there is no dark energy.

Property Taxes Increases Hit Rich Korean Multiple Residence Owners

In order to combat rising prices of residences in Korea, the Moon administration and ruling party raised property taxes and the base rate that properties are appraised for tax purposes, gradually. 

This is the second year of the gradual property tax increases. The rich people and companies owning two or more residences, or one multi million dollar residence, were warned in advance of the tax increases and had many chances to sell their properties (some own hundreds of apartments). 

The tax notices will be sent out, or have already been sent out. Now, there are a lot of rich people really pissed! The news media has significantly intensified efforts to blame everything on the Moon administration and ruling party, or try to frame them as inept and corrupt. 

I can imagine my rich real estate speculating acquaintances reaction to their tax bills. They now have to pay about three times more than in the past. They can afford to pay, but they must be screaming bloody murder, calling people commies, and mumbling obscenities at the Moon administration and the ruling progressive party. 

Most didn't sell their multiple residences. If they could, they gifted some residences to their children. Most are waiting for the conservative party to win the National Assembly or Presidential elections and rescind the tax increases.

My property taxes have not gone up, I still pay about six hundred dollars a year on a supposedly million dollar cramped old apartment. 

A lot of Koreans are worried about the rising real estate prices. A lot of commercial space is for rent nowadays, but commercial real estate prices will not fall. The rich have a monopoly on the real estate market, from my perspective. 

The government says the tax increases affect only the top 2% of residence owners. 

Yet, about 44% of Koreans are support the conservative party's presidential candidate (party of the rich, former prosecutors, and powerful), while only 37% support the ruling party's candidate (tax the rich, need to start discussions on changing labor environment and concepts like universal basic income, LOL). 

A lot of people still apparently trust the mostly conservative, and definitely lopsided opinion polls and reporting by the news media. Hopefully, they won't bother to vote. hehe.

Lavish use of subliminal messaging with the subtitles. Misleading wording, conservative party candidate's face smiling in background with positive subtitles, and such.

Last week, the poll numbers were even worse, I think it was 47% for the conservative party candidate and 30% for the ruling party candidate. 

I think the stress from the coronavirus pandemic makes it hard people to recognize the good efforts of many governments.

Visible Universe vs Entire Universe?

Didn't think about that, but thank goodness this guy did. Always thought about things within the visible universe.


Photons are two-dimensional according to the laws of current day physics? 

Lots of stars out there. Take a look below at one small part and its full of stars.

Vibrations In Fields Create Particles?

That is what the Standard Model of Particle Physics theorizes. 


Current theories need around a dozen dimensions (fields) at least, in order to work. Following video explains. Could be one thing with around a dozen effects.

Luckily, Most Anti-Vaxxers Don't Seem To Know About Mandatory Vaccinations For Newborn Babies

Or they might start protesting those laws too...

Microtubules, quantum computing, 40Hz, anesthetics and consciousness, and more discussed in the following video. Rather long but makes sense.


There must be a role for the thing that is responsible for quantum entanglement.

Evolution + Something?

Evolution doesn't seem to explain fully why humans can learn and contemplate ideas and concepts?

There seems to be something else driving the change? Something like the concept of entropy in the physical world. Something like reverse entropy for intelligence? Or is it just a sudden leap in evolution?

Living organisms had billions of years to become highly intelligent, why now and why humans?

Another thought. 

If X, Y, and Z are dimensions, what are complex numbers (number with "imaginary" units)? Complex numbers do not describe imaginary things. They were named imaginary numbers or units because mathematicians could not describe them in dimensions of X, Y, and Z, which are all they knew at the time, several hundred years ago I think.

Not depicted in geometry like X, Y, and Z, but can be depicted as 90% rotation in a different dimension than X, Y, or Z.

The Schrodinger wave equation, which describes the energy and position of electrons in space and time, includes "i" (square root of -1). It is needed for the equation to work.

Encourage people to explore and learn? Benefits to productivity and intelligence of society should be exponentially greater than encouraging people to watch and read about violence and hate?

In the future, will universal basic wage be tied to attending public college courses of choice? 20%, or so, reduction for failing courses?

Automated farms, factories, work processes, analytics, and so on. Some companies are going to make a lot of money without many people. Imagine the future?

Encouraging children to be truthful and good has a lasting effect. Many people apparently have been encouraged to do so. More like encouraged to be rich and successful at all cost?

The video below agrees that evolution does not explain human consciousness in much stronger language.

Encourage People To Be Truthful?

If cognitive dissonance led to dementia or Alzheimer's disease, people would probably stop lying.

Cognitive dissonance hinders logical thought. Could lead to dementia and other mental illnesses?

Cruel thing to say, but in some ways, I wish it did. Does the punishment fit the crime? Varying degrees of mental illness.

They did a study and found out that "Where Gun Stores Open, Gun Homicides Increase". Naturally.

Scientific American article - Where Gun Stores Open, Gun Homicides Increase

In factories, standing below any heavy load that is being moved or supported by cranes and such is prohibited. Minimize any danger as much as possible to reduce accidents, injury, and deaths. 

Shouldn't streets be safer than factories?

South Korea allows guns, but you have to be licensed, keep the gun at a police station for storage, and only allowed to check it out for a limited time for hunting or other declared purposes. Definitely contributes to a less violent society, in my opinion. Much still needs to be done with regards to violence and hate in the media, speech, books...

Of course, the military has guns and sometimes there are incidents involving soldiers killing soldiers or civilians. Incidents involving crossbows, bows and arrows, knives, bats...
