Crossgates crosses the line

The management of Crossgates Mall seems to be contending that the First Amendment does not apply on its private property – and that may be the case. Most people would be prepared to concede that mall management has some right to regulate disruptive behavior. But none of that excuses the mall’s absurd and oppressive decision Crossgates crosses the line

by Lynne Jackson ALBANY: The Final Environmental Impact Statement submitted by the developer for the proposed Residence Inn is so inadequate, it is appalling.

The Spinning Universe

by John Cryan – November 22, 2022 God was a southpaw when Hre threw out that first superchaonic pitch. Hris dexterous move with the hand sinister led to an initially ‘perfect’ Right-Handed Universe that spun just this side of infinitely fast on a near-perfect axis like a perfect SuperEarth with virtually no wobble or tilt. The Spinning Universe

Creating a UN with Teeth

by John Cryan The UN Charter contains a flaw fatal. Its Security Council has five ‘permanent members,’ any of which can veto any action in either the Council or the General Assembly. Two of those five members are brutal dictatorships armed with nuclear weapons. One has the largest landmass of any country, the other the Creating a UN with Teeth

Our Place in the World

By John Cryan James Cameron’s 2009 film Avatar has established and held the global box office record for many years. It resonated with audiences of all ages all over the world, chiefly because it brought to visible life the intricate interconnections of a mythological Gaia. A living planet where nothing happened without affecting everything, and Our Place in the World

Cultural Convolution

by John Cryan Chaonic physics drives every force and process in the Universe. This includes all forms of biological Convolution. And human cultures – which form wherever people come together, then interact, accrete through compound compositing, and decay through many interwoven processes linked to free chaonic action – are subject to the same principles of Cultural Convolution

The Third Way: Chaons and Politics

By John Cryan ~ September 3, 2023 ~ In The Chaonic Economy, the concept of effective body size was introduced. The same concept applies to politics. Politics, culture and economics are completely intertwined. Chaons rule them all. The standard continuum of politics runs left-right. Instead of being a linear dualistic paradox, though, it runs in The Third Way: Chaons and Politics

Chaons and Nukes

by John Cryan ~ April 30, 2023 ~ A committee convened by the Lawrence Livermore Lab, famous as one of the historic technological ‘hot’ spots in the US for prosecuting the Cold War, just came out with a 77-page report. The committee of nuclear weapons and diplomacy experts used mock-continuous analyses of streams of publicly Chaons and Nukes

Chaons and Evil

by John Cryan Despite living in a nodally-perceived world, we humans do, subconsciously at least, occasionally truck in very primitive forms of continua. The most familiar are scales based on our hands: binaries or dualities (two hands) like bad or good; five-star rating scales, made ubiquitous by the internet (one hand’s worth of fingers); and Chaons and Evil

Making New Science Emerge from the Old

Some Important Implications of the Chaon-Convolution Theory by John Cryan Anyone who has studied the history of science even casually knows science is not magic. It takes hardwork, discipline, organization, persistence, communication, resources, and luck. And students of science are increasingly revealing the human elements, and consequent flaws, of the enterprise – as it was, Making New Science Emerge from the Old

Environmental News

by Tom Ellis Since the prior SPB News last year, much has occurred locally and regionally.
