if Trotsky had been aware of the future, he would never have advocated Marxism.

 if Trotsky had been aware of the future, he would never have advocated Marxism.  His concern was towards the working class. If he had known the fact that to get a loaf of bread one needed to get up at 4:00 A.M.  in the wee hours of the morning to go stand in a line that went half way around the block, he would have dropped his theory and replaced it with capitalism--a theory that results in plenty for the people that in fact work. [His concern was not towards welfare recipients. He would rather have been concerned about the people that were actually working. [You can see this in his writings that all hinge on the concept-that the workers are good and the parasites like welfare collectors are evil.]

And why would taking from bankers and other wealthy people be right? The whole idea of redistribution   is based on movies that portray rich people as having stolen from the poor. But movies are not evidence. Other that that why should there be a prima facie assumption that the reason anyone who has more than another is because they stole it? 

The unity there is in positive transcendence, which is value, where, again, the unity is among things in themselves. What makes this significant is that this seems to show a deep source of faith

 In Kant there is this separation between things and what we can know about them. In the Kant-Fries school it is held that even though there are limits to ''analytic knowledge'' which can be known by manipulating definitions, and empirical knowledge;--still there is a third source of knowledge which is not by pure reason nor by sense perception. Not faith as understood as a third kind of extrasensory perception. So what is reality? 

My  question to Dr Kelley Ross was about this issue. His answer: One idea is that the nature of value is a unity among things in themselves, but is split up by the kaleidoscope of phenomenal reality.  Dilemmas become possible.  The division between mind and body is more like that between internal and external negative transcendence.  The unity there is in positive transcendence, which is value, where, again, the unity is among things in themselves.

What makes this significant is that  this seems to show a deep source of faith

Rav Avraham Abulafia of the Middle Ages

 You might ask why do I pay attention to Rav Avraham Abulafia of the Middle Ages in terms of sensitive subjects. Faith in the wise is one of the most important principles by which the Torah is acquired.  The only thing is one needs a certain degree of sense to be able to discern who really is wise and who is faking it.

In fact this is one of the problems of very smart people. They tend to not know their limits.. In the Midrash its says that the mother of Samuel the prophet prayed that her son should not be overly smart nor dumb.

There are more parasites in the seas than in the past.

 There are more parasites in the seas than in the past. The salmon and other species suffer. These sorts of worms that dig into the skin of fish do the same with humans.  The solution? These parasites do not like to be squeezed.  Nor do they like alcohol, nor bicarbonate. I have no heard of people having this sort of problem but I assume that it just has not become public knowledge. So if one does see the something has burrowed under his skin, the thing to do is to squeeze it and apply alcohol or bicarbonate. You can mix the bicarbonate with tooth paste to make it stick.

This becomes even more interesting if you take into account that there are lots of ER bridges around. In a paper by Susskind, it is suggested that ER bridges are what connects entangled atoms one to another.

way of learning - from the beginning to end, and end to beginning, and from the middle and outwards.

 When I was in high school, there was a physics student that told me his way of learning. It was from the beginning to end and end to beginning and from the middle and outwards.

I have found that helpful for me in terms of method of review. I get to some place in the text where it seems to me that that I need to start review. So instead of going to the very beginning, I simply start going back page by page from where I am holding.  But I keep the place where I left off by some kind of place marker so that when I get to the beginning I can pick up again at that place.
