POGROMS

In our efforts to improve on Mother Nature and natural selection
we seem to fall into two camps both of which lead to disaster.

The first camp decides it wants to help mother nature in the natural
selection process. They of course elect themselves as the fittest and
proceed proactively to select out everyone else. This leads to the
holocaust and other atrocities of the past. The victims here are obvious.

The second camp decides it wants to oppose mother nature in the
natural selection process. They elect EVERYONE as the fittest and proceed
to proactively make sure that no one gets selected out. The victims here
are those burdened with the survival of others.

The pendulum swings as the victims of each pogrom react by trying to
elect themselves into protected species status.

Many groups at this time are lobbying for protected species status.

Learning implies Learning with Certainty or Learning without Certainty.
Learning across a Distance implies Learning by Being an Effect.
Learning by Being an Effect implies Learning without Certainty.
Therefore, Learning with Certainty implies Learning, but
not by Being an Effect, and not across a Distance.
