Indeed, what is at work in the recent return of realism is the revenge of geography in the most old-fashioned sense. In the 18th and 19th centuries, before the arrival of political science as an academic specialty, geography was an honored, if not always formalized, discipline in which politics, culture, and economics were often conceived of in reference to the relief map. Thus, in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, mountains and the men who grow out of them were the first order of reality; ideas, however uplifting, were only the second.
And yet, to embrace geography is not to accept it as an implacable force against which humankind is powerless. Rather, it serves to qualify human freedom and choice with a modest acceptance of fate. This is all the more important today, because rather than eliminating the relevance of geography, globalization is reinforcing it. Mass communications and economic integration are weakening many states, exposing a Hobbesian world of small, fractious regions. Within them, local, ethnic, and religious sources of identity are reasserting themselves, and because they are anchored to specific terrains, they are best explained by reference to geography. Like the faults that determine earthquakes, the political future will be defined by conflict and instability with a similar geographic logic. The upheaval spawned by the ongoing economic crisis is increasing the relevance of geography even further, by weakening social orders and other creations of humankind, leaving the natural frontiers of the globe as the only restraint.
So we, too, need to return to the map, and particularly to what I call the “shatter zones” of Eurasia. We need to reclaim those thinkers who knew the landscape best. And we need to update their theories for the revenge of geography in our time.

Now at 2nd place

My view is that relations between countries in the coming decades are most likely to reflect their cultural commitments, their cultural ties and antagonism with other countries rather than other factors. Quite obviously, power will continue to play a central role in global politics, as it always does. But usually there is something else behind conflicts. In the 18th century in Europe, the issues to a large extent involved questions of monarchy versus the emerging republican movements, first in America and then in France. In the 19th century, it involved states identifying themselves through nationalism. In the 20th century, ideology came to the fore, largely, but not exclusively, as a result of the Russian Revolution. We had fascism, communism and liberal democracy competing with each other. Well, that’s pretty much over. Liberal democracy has come to be accepted, in theory at least, around the world, if not always in practice. So the question really is what will be the central focus of global politics in the coming decades? My argument remains that cultural identities, antagonisms and affiliations will not only play a role, but play a major role in relations between states. The full interview is here.

This is the 3rd

Every citizen in the City of Richardson will be able to access 756 Kbps of internet connectivity for free, from anywhere in the city. They will be able to access the internet from their homes, schools, restaurants and parks using standard wi-fi connections which are now installed on almost every notebook computer. That is almost as fast as many so-called high speed broadband connections that one pays dearly for today, and several times faster than the various hotspots at your local coffee shops. And I should note that the tax-payers of the City of Richardson are not paying one penny for this, and in fact are going to see additional revenues as a benefit. ... At the beginning of this letter, I suggested that this would be one of the fastest worldwide rollouts of a technology ever seen. It was just 20 years ago that the first cellular systems were being built. The rollout for mesh wireless systems is going to make that look slow. There are several reasons I make this assertion. But they all center on the facts that installing mesh systems will be cheaper and easier than any previous system and the economics in both the developed and especially the developing world will be so radically compelling. Throw in the fact the any astute politician will want to be at the front of this parade (They will all want to say, "I was the man who helped bring free internet to everyone!") and the groundwork is laid for rapid deployment. In Richardson and elsewhere, MeshLinx is offering the basic infrastructure for free. This avoids all the time consuming, political budget battles in the cities. When a service is offered for free, much of the mandated competitive process is eliminated. Next is the low cost of installation of the system. As noted above, Richardson is a city of roughly 100,000 people living in 27.4 square miles. It will "only" cost about $2,000,000 today to lay the wireless blanket I mentioned above. It will cost a great deal less in the future, as MeshLinx is building the pods at a pace of 100 a month today. The maximum output of the US pilot assembly line is 500 a month. When the demand exceeds this (and it will in a very short time) discussions have been held to move volume production to China. Of course, the world will need tens of millions of pods. The cost for a pod will be a fraction of today's cost, with that installation number for a city like Richardson soon being half (or less) the cost of today. What does that $1 or 2 million get you? The infrastructure to be an internet connection, telephone, security, entertainment provider and a whole lot more company. As noted, it will get cheaper as the number of pods being made each month rises, thus lowering their costs dramatically. This technology does have scale. The cost of physically putting up a pod is not a large part of the equation, as you simply need to run a power line, attach a few bolts to a mount on the side of a building or light pole and then off to the next point. Think about the 40,000 homes and businesses in Richardson. If and (hopefully) over time when 10% decide to pay $50 a month for 10-20 Mbps high speed internet access you could see a revenue of $2.5 million a year just from internet access. Now add in all the other income possibilities (phone, entertainment, security and don't forget advertising revenue on the free service!). Think about your town or country. What would service like this be worth? If you are a small city that does not have high speed connections available, how many businesses that could bring jobs do not come your way because they need reliable communications for their work and their employees? If you are in a developing country, where internet access is difficult and expensive, it will open whole new vistas. Couple that with the various programs which want to give cheap laptops to kids in poor countries, and you could see significant social progress in a generation. Here is the link.

Our Architects to James Webb Telescope---'Here is the exact pathway'.

(This post should be read together with my last post).

It is not the domain of sublime philosophical discussion.

We are experiencing it in our daily life.

In every point of our life we are constantly 'seeing' and then,deciding,whether it is of 'Pakpa' case or 'Paktaba' narrative.

We constantly 'see' 'Pakpa' together with person(s)+time+mood.

Now,the intriguing question comes up---

"Can we see 'Pakpa' independent of persons(s)+time+moods?"

Coming upto this point,anybody can pop up this sublime question---

"Are we living in a 'P(a)K(a)' matrix?"

"Is our universe a 'P(a)K(a)' matrix?"

Now,let us revisit our 'Mangtaak' (my post,"Will James Webb Telescope 'see' our 'aphoula' and 'Ayaangkok?",dated 6th Jan 2022)

From this 'Mangtaak',I can extract two more equations.

One equation deals with the value of 'P(a)'.It is a simple equation involving only 6 logical steps.The final form is as follows:

P(a) = 1/wavelenght of colour green.----(1)

The other equation deals with the value of K(a).It is also a simple equation involving only 5 logical steps.The final form is as follows:

K(a) = mean wavelength of the the narrowest bands of the colour spectrum minus red and violet.----(2).

After getting these important values,another intriguing question comes up---

" Is the point just at the cusp of Singularity(according to our Architects we should not seek the Singularity in itself as our primordial sound 'Am' symbolizes near infinity--this is discussed in my post,'Yet another challenge',dated 8th Jan2022) denotes the values of P(a) and K(a) approaching zero"?

In trying to answer this question,we are immediately confronted with another question---

"Are Singularity and the Multiverse the same P(a)K(a) but in different values"?

But is it possible to find a state where the values of P(a) and K(a) are zero?

In trying to answer this question,we must re-visit the concept of 'Siyayo'.It is found in my post,'Siyayo'.dated the 6th Aug 2021.

In that post,we discuss the principle of our Architects' 'Siyayo' which states it situates at the point of intersection of the lines representing 'Thawai Ma-nga' and 'Mi+Thawai Ma-nga'.

Incidentally,our equation(1) involves 6 logical steps and equation(2),5.

So,our point just at the cusp of Singularity must situate at the point of intersection of equations (1) and (2).

I think it is exactly this point which the James Webb Telescope is trying to 'see'.

Thus,our Architects points out the exact pathway that should be taken by the James Webb Telescope.

PS: I am not concealing the equations together with their logical steps.Im in the throes of devising a 'nice' way of bringing them to the public domain.

This time,our Architects want to collaborate with James Webb Telescope!

Awakened by my 'Mangtaak'(my next to last post),we can now understand that our word for forehead,LAIPAK,is actually an equation.

In this blog,we have all along been saying that 'Lai' is the flesh and blood edition of 'La'---the expanse.

Thus,in the context of Astronomy,'Lai' becomes 'the expanse'that is observable by man-made device(like,the James Webb Telescope).

So,our LAIPAK,the equation, tells us that the extent of the expanse that is observable by the man-made device is defined by the value obtained from the interaction of 'p(a)' and 'k(a)'.

The very first glimpse of this equation tells us it is a profound one.Thus,lesser mortals ,like this blogger,cannot hope to go near it trying to analyze it with any authentic logical sequences.

A multi-disciplinary team of mathematicians, physicians and astronomers should study this equation.

The best this blogger can do is to paraphrase the equation.

--The extent of the expanse which can be observed by a man-made device is defined by the value obtained from the interaction of 'Institutionalizing Energy' and 'Balancing Energy'--.

The sole reason for publishing this equation is derived from my thinking that it would be irresponsible for me to keep this restrained in my private domain.I think that I am dutybound to publish it so that everybody can start applying their mind to this profound equation.

Yet another challenge!

This post is the continuation of the story of my 'Mangtaak'( My last post).

From it,we derive an equation:

Lei = Ahum

or, Lei/Hu = Am

As we are dealing with a solution involving a division problem,it is logical to convert the divisor as well as the dividend into the same class of object.

Thus,if 'Lei' is 'knowledge',then, 'Hu' should be 'a strategy with a single attribute'.

Then,the quotient must be 'infinite number(of objects).

Thus,the equation is as follows:

'An infinite number(of objects) = Am.-----(1).

Postponing the further interpretation of equation (1) further,we need to revisit my last post.In it,we have discussed that putting 'Malem Leisha' on our forehead symbloizes the formation of habitable planets in our multiverse.

Reading the equation (1) in the above context,we come face to face a rather sweeping statement from our Architects---there are infinite numbers of habitable planets in our multiverse.

Will the time ever come when we can prove this sweeping statement?

Now,we have to read the equation (1) to enable us to obtain corollary finding.

The equation says that our primordial sound,'Am' is the symbol of 'near infinity'.

It is interesting here to note that they are not saying that 'Am' symbolizes 'infinity'---but 'near infinity'.

What is the meaning of this?

Will James Webb Telescope 'see' our 'Aphoula' and 'Ayaangkok''?

For 'Aphoula' and 'Ayaangkok',please see my post, entitled 'Our 'NUYA' leads to our Multiverse',dated the 3rd Sepemtember,2021.

I am really sorry to start this post with a story from my personal space.I am being forced to do this.The reason is that I cannot find the starting cue for this story if I do not tell a tiny piece of what had happened to my personal space during the past one week or so.

Some ten days back,I was really happy to learn that it was truly a momentous moment to connect with our ancient 'Ou-kili'.Yes,I am able to decipher the word by word meaning of 'Ou-kili'.

This exercise led me to go further into the interpretation of the 'L(a)'.So far,we have been discussing 'L(a)' with positive connotation.All of a sudden,I asked myself if we can find some words with negative connotation.Only two words came to my mind--'Louwai' and 'Lairaba'.

I tried every available pathways to come to terms with the above words.

More than that, further complication cropped up.

'Louwai' is closely connected with 'Leikhom'.I aslo failed to explain 'Leikhom'.This led to further disappointment in failing to connect with several words,like,'Leisha','Leibaak' and most importantly,'Laibak'.Failing to explain 'Laibak' was a major blow to me.

I tried all the available pathways.But I reached a dead end.I failed.

It was in the backdrop of a such mood when I mysteriously 'sleep walked' into an NFT community on Twitter.

There has been a lot of buzz in theorizing that crypto is going transform itself into what they are calling Web3.I am still skeptical.All the NFT communities are based on crypto blockchains.

Still skeptical but I kept on following more NFT artistes on Twitter.My Twiiter feed is still completely dominated by NFT tweets.

Something was happening to me.So,I theorized a comforting concept for myself:

1) Cyberspace is 'dream matrix'

2) So,present-day 'Mangtaak' can happen in cyberspace.

Something told me that a 'Mangtaak' would emerge from the paintings of the NFT artstes.

On the night of 5th January 2022,it happened--a painting depicting a lady having 'a magic plant' on her forehaed.A three-flowers bunch.

I literally grabbed the 'Mangtaak' using both my hands---forehead is connected with three flowers.

So,I immediately take the cue---forehead is associated with three flowers.

Now,I can explains all the words by using the concept of 'forehead is connected with three flowers'.

More than that,this turns out to be an amazing start.

From this, I come to know that our 'Cha-ama' is of three flowers--(a) a flower of 'Khei' movement,enabled by 'Asuk' and 'Asambal,(b) a second flower of expansion of the 'Yaang' and (c) the third flower of high radiation around 'Aphoula'.

These three flowers enables the formations of habitable planets.

Again.these same three flowers tell the story of 'Laibak' and 'Malem Leisa'.I am coming with the full story in my next post.This ritual symbolizes the formation of habitable planets in our universe.

I am rushing this post because our Architects seem to be in a mood to throw a challenge to NASA and James Webb Telescope.Thus,I want to publish this post immediately so as to enable our Architects' challenge visible to all concerned well before the official commissioning of the James Webb Telescope.
