Wary.

Brain Pain:

 

Lately it seems I want to start this morning mess with the words, "Now what?" 

 

The general consensus among the soccer fans is that the World Cup final doesn't need an entertainment interruption. Of course, I don't think the Super Bowl does either. 

 

The rookies report to their NFL teams tomorrow. I'm feeling the itch. 

 

I'd love to do more commenting on the political scene if I could ever understand what the politicians are talking about.  

  

The Question: 

What is the Novikov Self-Consistency Principle? 

 

The Headlines: 

--Wall Street Entering Possible Tell Tale Week; Big Tech to Report Earnings This Week; Conflicting factors Rising Globally and Internally.  

--Starmer Steps Down; Andy Burnham New PM of UK. 

--US Sending More Jets from England to Middle East. 

--Russia Intensifies Attacks on Marchant Ships in Black Sea. 

--Trump Says He Will Max Out New AF 1 After Criticism Over Security. 

--Betha Forms In Gulf.   

--Trump's Temporary tariffs to End Friday,  

 

Infighting between Dems like Schumer and Warren could spell doom for Dems Chance to Win in November. Nobody ever said Senators were the smartest people on the plamet. 

 

 The easiest people to believe are those who can admit it when they are wrong. Like, even just occasionally. 

 

We have lived through many paradigm changes, but nothing will be a significant as AI. That parade is marching and the drumbeat is getting louder. Despite the negativity you hear and teh fears iterated, it will happen. 

 

Never challenge Death to a pillow fight unless you’re prepared to handle the reaper cushions. 

 

It feels like Autumn around here. It felt like July in May. Maybe the climate is recycling. 

 

For me, the Red Sox sweep Tampa Bay was a much bigger story than the World Cup final. That's the headline I wanted, but even local media got sucked into the herd mentality. That said, I liked that Spain won.  

 

Also, more exciting than the World Cup final was the gutsy eighteenth hole putt by Ryan Fox to win The Open a promiere world event. What a tough, punishing course that Royal Berkshire was. On the big-name front, Scottie was tough and Rory wasn't 

 

Is it me, or are there a lot more email scams popping up on my machine . If it's just me, than I'm really going to be paranoid.  

 

Just because nobody complains doesn’t mean all parachutes are perfect. 

 

No matter how well I try to understand the confounding mechanisms and jargon associated with my phone and laptop, I know that I am light years behind what's really going on in the digital transition of the universe. Basing opinions of current activities on logical rational concepts of the past, doesn't seem to work anymore. Labeling many of today's activities as inane doesn't consider the magnitude of how they will affect a future foreign to most of us. The only consistency is the involvement of humans, for now. 

 

I've been typing all afternoon, and I don't feel I've gotten anywhere 

 

When you go to a grocery store that has everything anybody could want but is missing what you like, do you feel like maybe you are on the wrong food pyramid.  

 

The Answer: 

It is a theoretical framework proposed by physicist Igor Novikov in the 1980s to address the potential paradoxes arising from time travel.. The basic premise of the Novikov self-consistency principle is that every event in the timeline is predetermined and cannot be altered. This implies that any attempt to travel back in time and change the past will be self-correcting, ensuring that the original timeline remains intact. For instance, if a time traveler attempts to kill their own grandfather before he has children, something will prevent the event from occurring, thus preserving the original timeline. It is the fodder for a philosophical discussion beyond the chaos of the present. Enjoy dinner. 

 

Speaking of going back in Time:
