There are those words that can take on different meanings with technology, and for many static became associated with noise associated with certain systems. Where the point in that context was the randomness of those systems was unchanging. Static means, not changing. But it has the added meaning in our times of being noisy to many.
For me the word then has a fascinating applicability to something that IS important in that truth is important as to how it does not change. Like if a person robs a bank. Either that person did or did not rob the bank. If that person did rob the bank--that truth does not change.
Where picked a criminal example deliberately. As one philosophical problem in the US can be where people do not believe there is such a thing as truth. They will actually tell you that everything is shades of grey, but if that person goes and robs a bank, do you think that may work at all in defense?
Our personal perception can be one thing, but how our fellow human beings react to us, can be another.
In questions of truth, the unchanging quality of truth is extremely useful in my opinion. Which helps in determining whether you are witnessing a truth, or an opinion.
In my opinion, many people may be one thing, but I can learn that opinion is wrong, and change it.
But in truth, we are all human beings, which is a question for science, which has determined that with extraordinary certainty, which arrived with the science of genetics.
Our opinions in that regard though can affect human behavior, while the truth can effect better behavior, as the truth can lead to better interactions with our fellow human beings.
Those two words are so similar, and wonder would it make a difference to say, can effect human behavior? Yup. It FEELS different which is an opinion, as write here now. But is it a truth?
Static actually has fascinating properties in the context of physics, which I know as have a degree in that area and remember the training. Was an odd thing for me, which is emotion on which I reflect here, as my view of static was shifted. And is interesting to understand those properties, which can take over a word, for many.
Does it even feel right to say truth has a static nature? Or go against the grain?
Questions can open doors to perception am sure. So much about what we believe, how we believe, and from where our belief arrives.
The truth does not care. Like if you rob that bank and wish your fellow humans to dismiss what you call the noise of testimony against you, which you might claim as just so much static. The judge may look at you wondering, what planet you think you're on.
And render judgement which will change your life, whether you think is shades of grey or not.
With philosophical discussions maybe, later in your prison cell, where will the truth lie?
That is so harsh as an ending. It is interesting though that static shifted in our times probably because with radio static it was just this noise. And radio was a big deal. Oh and static on television too, which probably is where most get that sense of it being about noise.
There also is a truth: the reality of how many people experience a word in our times, for which have adjusted.

Why knowledge rules
The discovery that a person can produce a mathematical argument that looks correct by long accepted rules, which can be shown to not be correct by those same rules is remarkable, if true.
Consider also that a world routinely accepts that the knowledge does not exist to keep computer systems from routinely being breached, with massive flows of freed information as a result.
What if the actual answer though is that a subtle flaw allowed people who lacked ability to be put in a position to secure the world's systems? Then would not be much of a surprise.
Evaluating such a scenario presumably would require VAST amounts of expertise well beyond most people. And is the kind of arena where governments play.
However can still show you why knowledge rules, as imagine you're in an airplane, and you learn that the pilot is well-trained but the co-pilot is a fraud. And things are ok, until the pilot becomes incapacitated.
Knowledge rules because there are any number of situations where that person you need, needs to have valid information, which is useful knowledge and be able to use it.
One problem we can have in societies is when systems get vast enough that there is not enough checking of authority at all points, where knowledge rules. And plenty of people can believe odd things, like maybe anyone can actually do the job of the American president? Why not? If you can get elected, what more do you really need to know?
Yet, if our current American president screws up enough you may die in a nuclear blast. And your awareness of this reality does not change it.
The fate of humanity may be simply to mostly die, stupid.
Now then, do you understand better why knowledge rules? Have a nice day. Where ever you may be in this world, there are decisions to be made which will affect you, whether you wish it or not.
So much better if the people making those decisions? Know what they're doing.
Talking obvious things. There is a weird thing in the US though which I call a distorted feudal echo.
Some people have a distorted view that somehow some kind of class has a right to positions, even if that is stated as against American ideals. But even in feudal times, people actually in charge, like maybe a regent, were expected to know what they were doing.
Importance of being able to function well with authority is as old as humanity actually.

Other possibilities
Of course there could be other explanations, which would be preferred for how things have gone, which would NOT require some suppression or anything from number theorist at NSA or anywhere else. Which would be great.
I could be an interesting guy with a lot of imagination who draws global interest with some interesting things.
What I know for sure? The math things ARE valid. But how does a person without a math degree get that kind of thing recognized? Probably not babbling about it on the web, one would think from a 20th century perspective. Though yeah, have sent to mathematicians and DID get a paper published, where then the math journal keeled over and died, after chief editor tried to pull the paper.
THAT was most dramatic thing though. And have at least tried to get the attention of the NSA as these things could, maybe, possibly have national security importance. But why would they listen to me given all of the above? Even if they bothered to check?
Reality is, got some things that draw interest from all over the planet which I know from Google web analytics, but not much else. There are some coincidental things too over a lot of time, I guess.
Yet still get stuck with, how could anything that vast stay hidden? Makes no sense. And if there were some kind of suppression thing, wouldn't they have looked at something simpler by now, like simply getting rid of me? (Don't like writing THAT down.)
Not like that would be hard. Which again leads to the theory that maybe is just a lot of HARD getting certain things noticed. And yeah, am glad am still here! Near as I can tell, free to babble on too.
Which is a relief I assure you. The things I worry over and then worry about worrying over.
Who knows. Will admit though, prefer the scenario where just have to get the information to the right people, you know? Would be so much better am sure.
Yeah, but how to know? So much information I don't have. With no clue how to get it.
Will focus on what I DO know, with a faith that the answers will reveal, in time. There has to be a reason for how things have gone. Is just a matter of finding the truth.

Perfect relationship excuse
So yeah when you have credible reason to believe people working all over the world in high level positions, including number theorists at intelligence agencies, may not exactly like you, is not exactly a situation which is conducive to being out there looking for a significant other. When I'm a good guy who just happened to figure some important and valuable things out, and stumbled across...sounds like a movie plot.
Is kind of interesting though to consider trying to explain to a woman who might be interested. Will admit have in the past had some potentials where is not like got far will say.
And you have no choice. Is real situation. Would HAVE to explain if things got far enough. And yeah that could definitely be important to someone, you know?
Is like living in a movie, but real. And will admit that movies often just aren't exciting enough to me any more. And movies about certain subjects, especially involving intelligence agencies, am like, that's not realistic. Or that wouldn't happen. Or he could totally have handled that different. And yeah, I know is JUST a movie. Haven't watched any like that in a bit. Maybe is too close to home. One of my favorites though, despite it being utterly unrealistic? Mercury Rising
Another one maybe more realistic, and also one of my favorites: Enemy of the State
Those are classics though. And feel like distracted myself.
Does keep your life simpler though. Oh, um when it comes to relationships at least. Other ways? Not so much. Like when in San Francisco, unlike other people was on the lookout for agents of our country or foreign powers. Though also totally just wish someone from the US Government would come around and say hi. But already detailed how have bugged them...wrong word...um, have contacted repeatedly in the past.
Is NOT fun not being sure that woman talking to you in the bar may or may not be an intelligence agent. NOT fun. These days, I figure, of course not. Some thought maybe. Now am like, well if so, who cares, didn't do anything to me. So no, of course not.
(Oh yeah, for people who knew me in San Francisco? Now some of my behavior may make more sense if you read this blog. Or then again, may just seem even more wacky.)
Of course if right woman had come along, and found myself in a conversation, where needed to explain, and after asking smart questions, and checking me on things, she was like, cool--that would have been great. Of course then she could be part of a life where you're wondering every single day, if something interesting is going to happen. Kind of glad though just have to worry about myself, and not also about possible things...which don't have to concern me as didn't happen.
Is like living in a movie...more like multiple movies all going at the same time. So yeah, have found myself not surprisingly VERY single which hadn't wanted to admit. But now is like, why not? Talking everything else lately.

Out of my comfort zone
There are things I believe them after I write them. And even for me for a lot of years has been this sense that hey, if you have all this important information which is valuable knowledge should be able to DO something with it, effective to resolve things.
Which makes sense to me.
And also completely legal, and decent where with details which would be out there eventually, people would be like, cool!
Which is an interesting standard, I think.
Now out of my comfort zone and writing some things to get that sense of yup, that's the way it is.
Am glad for the ideals around the process. THAT at least is still comforting.
Posts may still go through editing, like usual. However, am putting it on myself to leave them up, and to keep the gist intact.
Just some things I need to face. And some things I need to get done.
Have been careful. Have done my due diligence.
