More Science Questions
What I thought would be an easy answer to a covid related question was anything but and it trailed debris behind it. What does the m in mRNA mean? My mouth was getting engaged but a senior moment interrupted, words failed me and I did a search. Messenger; we knew that but then the question became a two parter.
What exactly does mRNA do?
I don’t know exactly but https://theconversation.com/messenger-rna-how-it-works-in-nature-and-in-making-vaccines-166975 does, they just don’t sound very scientific when they get to the part in their explanation about synthetic mRNA. For instance,
When in vitro transcribed mRNA is introduced into a cell, it is ‘read’ by the cell’s protein production machinery in a similar manner to how natural mRNA functions. In principle, the process can be used to generate synthetic mRNA that codes for any protein of interest.
Similar manner? Does that mean now they can tell each other in the lab, ‘close enough for scientific work’?
And what’s up with ‘In principle’? How about works exactly like? or identical to the real thing? It’s not like they’re working with a strong rate of success behind them, ya know? They ought to at least try to sound more believable, right?
And that protein of interest remark… that don’t sound like the people’s interest they’re talking about.
Then I seen this: https://theconversation.com/did-he-jiankui-make-people-better-documentary-spurs-a-new-look-at-the-case-of-the-first-gene-edited-babies-196714
Remember He? He’s out of jail now and looking for work and he’s already got a company slogan. Make people better.
Make people better??? Where’d He get that? The Rockefeller Foundation? Build back better, make people better! Sounds like a chant we’ll soon be learning to tighten up our social something score with in the Community Park before they ladle out the fish head soup.
No, it’s even weirder. Nobel Prize-winning geneticist James Watson gave it to him.
Now we enter the macabre.
One of the recent posts here was https://www.bucksafa11.org/2022/12/14/the-way-of-the-world/ that included a list of issues that Plato laid out more than two thousand years ago and are still plagueing humanity including abortion, abolishing families and https://www.herald.co.zw/in-uk-children-belong-to-the-state/

Doesn’t take much imagination after being subjected to the round of 21st Century presidents we’ve had for it to sound like a cover for transhumanist transition getting into high gear.
You got a better, more healthier idea?
Wondered About That Myself
“Here’s the thing. While I’m watching this, and I’m going ‘What happens if this World Cup game goes past 1:00 PM?’,” Cataldi said.
Here’s another thing.
…FOX has got both the World Cup and the NFL,” Catladi said. “Secondly, they paid a ton of money for both. Third, the World Cup is getting the best numbers they’ve ever got in their history in America. The NFL is their bread and butter. What do you do at 1:00 PM? They don’t know how long the penalty kicks are going to take. It could be 20 kicks, who knows?”
When told they could have moved the penalty kicks of the World Cup to FS1, Cataldi scoffed at the idea.
“Big mistake. FS1 has about a third of the people. It is not widely distributed. You’re gonna take two-thirds of an audience that watched the greatest World Cup game ever and send them somewhere else where they may not be able to go to see the end of that event?”
Hughes then asked if they would send the NFL to FS1.
“No, not a chance,” countered Cataldi. “Then I started to wonder about the world. This was a big thought. The truth is, if you missed the first five plays of the Eagles game, would the Eagle fans have gone bezerk if FOX said ‘we’re just gonna get through the penalty kicks and see who wins’? They would have went nuts, right? So you’re gonna lose no matter what! They made it by minutes!”
Co-host Al Morganti told Cataldi that it was eight minutes between the end of the World Cup Final and the beginning of the 1:00 PM window…
If you ever heard Rush Limbaugh talk about the NFL being targetted for extinction and you wondered like I did, how would they ever do that and concluded ‘no way could that happen’…

Excerpt from Plato The Laws Chapter 9 The Foundation of the New State: The selection of the citizens. (pg 202)
But before all that, here are some further points to notice. Anyone who takes charge of a herd of animals – a shepherd or cattle-man or breeder of horses or what have you – will never get down to looking after them without first performing the purge appropriate to his particular animal-community: that is, he will weed out the unhealthy and inferior stock and send it off to other herds, and keep only the thoroughbreds and the healthy animals to look after.
He knows that otherwise he would have to waste endless effort on sickly and refractory beasts, degenerate by nature and ruined by incompetent breeding, and that unless he purges the existing stock these faults will spread in any herd to the animals that are still physically and temperamentally healthy and unspoilt.
This is not too serious in the case of the lower animals, and we need mention it only by way of illustration, but with human beings it is vitally important for the legislator to ascertain and explain the appropriate measures in each case, not only as regards a purge, but in general.
To purge a whole state, for instance, several methods may be employed, some mild, some drastic; and if a legislator were a dictator too he’d be able to purge the state drastically, which is the best way.
But if he has to establish a new society and new laws without dictatorial powers, and succeeds in administrating no more than the mildest purge, he’ll be well content even with this limited achievement.
Like drastic medicines, the best purge is a painful business: it involves chastisement by a combination of ‘Judgement’ and ‘punishment’, and takes the latter to the point of death or exile. That usually gets rid of the major criminals who are incurable and do the state enormous harm.
The milder purge we could adopt is this. When there is a shortage of food, and the underprivileged show themselves ready to follow their leaders in an attack on the property of the privileged, they are to be regarded as a disease that has developed in the body politic, and in the friendliest possible way they should be (as it will tactfully be put) ‘transferred to a colony’. Somehow or other everyone who legislates must do this in good time; but our position at the moment is even more unusual. There’s no need for us here and now to have resort to a colony or arrange to make a selection of people by a purge. No: it’s as though we have a number of streams from several sources, some from springs, some from mountain torrents all flowing down to unite in one lake.
We have to apply ourselves to seeing that the water, as it mingles, is as pure as possible, partly by draining some of it off, partly by diverting it into different channels. Even so, however you organize a society, it looks as if there will always be trouble and risk.
True enough: but seeing that we are operating at the moment on a theoretical rather than a practical level, let’s suppose we’ve recruited our citizens and their purity meets with our approval. After all, when we have screened the bad candidates over a suitable period and given them every chance to be converted, we can refuse their application to enter and become citizens of the state; but we should greet the good ones with all possible courtesy and kindness.

The Way of the World
A recent question raised during a brief look into antiquity triggered a mind tripping, synapse snapping awareness of a possibility I never before considered. While freely acknowledging I sometimes spend as much time in the ‘to be resharpened’ drawer as most others and might have missed any such discussion in the past, it was new to me when I saw the question, ‘was Socrates real or was he a character developed by Plato? I’ve read similar articles targeting the reality of Jesus; Socrates news was never on my BOLO list.
The Penguin Classics version of Plato The Republic I use was translated by H.D.P. Lee and although the copy was purchased in 1972 I’ve never made a serious attempt to read it in the fifty years it’s been sitting on one shelf or another and to be honest, it never made that much sense to me anyway until recently.
Reading through certain sections of The Republic I have wondered about those who have read it, how many have recognized what it was laying out and how many had an understanding of the correlating events that were presented throughout the disintegrative stages of our Republic but did not draw attention to it clearly nor with any great force.
The answers to the correlates are clearly explained in the Translator’s Introduction to https://ia601502.us.archive.org/22/items/in.ernet.dli.2015.125807/2015.125807.Plato-The-Republic.pdf The Republic.
I also learned Socrates never wrote anything. Some have even suggested https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/2484/was-socrates-a-fictional-character-invented-by-plato Socrates was invented by Plato. That’s when it occurred to me that maybe Plato developed himself into the role of https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/american_english/devil-s-advocate Devil’s advocate. From that point on I was travelling a rickety bridge to another level of understanding on this multi -faceted gem we call Life.
What goes around, comes around does appear to be the form and style of Arena Earth and education designs the controls that deliver the means that sketches the plan the architects draw and the https://civilengineeringnotes.com/surveying/ surveyor develops that lays the trail that determines the form of resets used throughout history that blaze the predestined path of civilization for humanity to travel. Predestined? Here’s some evidence.
Wouldn’t you agree the major undermining issues of human society identified by Plato and targeted as https://www.directives.doe.gov/terms_definitions/causal-factor the causal factors listed below of misery and abject poverty comprise the meat of the human condition?
- Abolish families PART SIX [BOOK FIVE] Women and the family pg 212
- Deception and lies PART SIX [BOOK FIVE] Women and the family pg 214
- Women’s equality PART SIX [BOOK FIVE] Women and the family pg 209
- Have no possessions PART SIX [BOOK FIVE] Women and the family pg 221
- Slavery PART SIX [BOOK FIVE] Women and the family pg 220
- Civil strife and war PART SIX [BOOK FIVE] Women and the family pg 229
- Abortion and eugenics PART SIX [BOOK FIVE] Women and the family pg 215
- Children are State Property PART SIX [BOOK FIVE] Women and the family pg 201
Those issues were discussed by Plato in The Republic and The Republic, as described by H.D.P. Lee, (pg 16) is a statement of the aims of the Academy he founded in Athens in 386 B.C. and purposed to train a new type of politician, a class of ‘philosophic statesmen’. Somewhere along the line the student body must have been re-directed.
But what do those issues have to do with predestination?
Only one thing for Christians; God our Creator has blessed humanity with a conscience and the ability to distinguish between right and wrong.
The concept of predestination implies a nullification of discernment when we are faced with a difficult choice; it provides an excuse to bail.
Lee pointed out it was unlikely Plato expected immediate results but who would have thought more than two thousand years later the same issues…

…would still be the issues manipulated by politicians? That’s quite a stretch even for modern thinkers under the influence of propaganda to believe; political power so continuous it would enable politicians to shape a world that survived powerful resets for almost two millennia and still have the same core problems that stretched back to ancient Greece?
Looking back 2,000 years I’d say Plato’s Academy was either semi-successful, a perfectly performed misdirection play or its intentions had been completely hijacked by that entity that comes to mind when we consider whose single focused end purpose is reportedly hell bent on subverting Gods’ creations.
Do you think politicians, proven believers of the church of the here and now, based on only one precept,’ what’s in it for me?’, and having https://lenau-dance.blogspot.com/2011/06/english-translation-of-nikolaus-lenau.html Mephistopheles as their choir director, control the reins of human development? Politicians are the reins and reins respond to whoever is holding them. Look again, it ain’t US.
Something is being ignored and it’s about time the danger that ignorance is denying is recognized.
