</div>
</div>
<br>
<small>Q1 - Suggests 55% would not endure nuclear war for any
country but their own. However, Q3 which asks about the type of
response and offers "proportional" and non-nuclear alternatives has
only 15% taking the "my country only" position.</small><br>
<br>
<small>Q2 - What is the risk Russia would attack US with nukes if it loses Donbas or Crimea?</small><br>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 425px; height: 238px;" alt="" src="img/Lose%20Donbas%20or%20Crimea.jpg"><br>

Q3 - What type of response would you prefer:<br>
</small>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 501px; height: 375px;" alt="" src="img/type%20of%20response.jpg"><br>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br>
<small>Q3 - Is the greater risk country-by-country takeovers by nuclear autocracies, or confronting and stopping Russia and Putin now?<br>
</small>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 446px; height: 232px;" alt="" src="img/greater%20risk.jpg"><br>
<div style="text-align: left;"><small style="font-weight: bold;">Analysis:</small><small>
If an influencer or politician poses question 1 without qualifying that
the action is low risk (Q2), that proportional and non-nuclear
responses are available (Q3) or that there is a greater risk from not
confronting the opponent (Q4) then a person may give an answer that is
not a genuine reflection of their full judgment. They may even be
induced to voting in an irrational manner. Always consider what
influencers and politicians are "leaving out." <br>
<br>
A second interesting point is that right wing or "Trump" Republicans,
and Fox News, will typically play up the fear of nuclear war (tending
toward a Q1 statement of the problem, though not necessarily Trump
himself who casts things in terms of his relationship with a war
criminal leader of Russia). And President Biden uses the Q1
strategy also, "Direct conflict between NATO and Russia would be World
War 3" - <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/597842-biden-direct-conflict-between-nato-and-russia-would-be-world-war-iii/" target="_blank">The Hill</a> March 11, 2022. <br>
<br>
Given that 65% view continued takeovers as higher risk, and 75%
view nuclear escalation in the event of Russia being kicked entirely
out of Ukraine as low to very low, and 60% (at right) favor increased
or direct support for Ukraine, these two political positions being the
same doesn't make sense. Ukraine seems to have formed a new
middle coalition in American politics between moderate Democrats and
Republicans. That is a hopeful sign. Though it might not be
in time to help Ukraine. Another option on Q2 reveals that even if NATO
causes loss of Russian ships and missile launchers directly, risk of
nuclear escalation is still in the very low to medium range.<br>

</div>
<small><span style="font-weight: bold;">Risk from Continued War: </span>The
most discussed risks are of a response to NATO/US actions. But
greater risks may occur over time due to accidental intrusion into NATO
space, deliberate disruption of supplies in NATO space, or a war of
opportunity conducted by Serbia or China while the US is occupied in
Ukraine. Stopping the war more quickly may minimize risk. For a
full discussion see <a href="https://shulerresearch.wordpress.com/2022/04/11/larger-war-looming-if-not-stopped-soon/" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Larger War Looming If Not Stopped Soon.</span></a></small><small> If you are moved to express your opinion, whatever it is, there are links there to email, call or write US representatives.<br>

R. (2022) Space-Time Diagrams Lead to False Paradoxes. Journal of
Applied Mathematics and Physics, 10, 3804-3813. doi:
10.4236/jamp.2022.1012252.</small> <small>This paper provides a clear
analysis of how hypothetical concepts not allowed in Special Relativity
should be treated and exposes hidden assumptions in space-time diagrams
used on YouTube, where some prominent physicists have taken to
publishing on popular topics that may not survive peer review. Such
casual graphical treatment conceals the fact that space-time diagrams
provide only for the Einstein synchronization convention for all
observers, not the many other valid synchronization protocols, and also
obscure that relativity’s equality of reference frames is rebutted if
concepts outside relativity, such as instant communication, are
introduced. These omissions of unconscious assumptions have been used
to “prove” the existence of block time and time travel or time
paradoxes. We will show the contradictory assumptions amount to
assuming time travel, rather than the more mundane need to adjust
synchronization conventions. We further show a new result that the use
of the space-time diagrams as proposed by these “explainers” leads to
discontinuities in which a differential change in communication speed
leads to a sudden jump from present to long-past arrival time, strongly
suggesting invalidity of the method.</small><br>

<small>Recently some photon models of a Wigner's friend

exist, and to publish non-academic articles with such claims. The
public is not equipped to evaluate the severe limitations of these
experiments. This paper analyzes the issues with statements about
objective reality, defining what it means to participants as opposed to
QM researchers, and proposing more difficult thought experiments that
explicitly test for objectivity from the participant standpoint.</small><br>

problem of how many colors are required for a planar
map has been used as a focal point for discussions of the limits of
human direct
understanding vs. automated methods. It is important to continue to
investigate
until it is convincingly proved map coloration is an exemplary
irreducible problem
or until it is reduced. Meanwhile a new way of thinking about surfaces
which hide
N-dimensional volumes has arisen in physics employing entropy and the
holographic
principle. In this paper we define coloration entropy or flexibility as
a count
of the possible distinct colorations of a map (planar graph), and show
how a guaranteed
minimum coloration flexibility changes based on additions at a boundary
of the map. <br>

<div style="text-align: left;"><small style="font-weight: bold;">Discussion / Highlights:</small><br>
<ul>
<li><small><span style="font-weight: bold;">52% felt Ukraine was like Britain in ww2</span>, <br>
34% like Checkoslavakia, which eventually wound up split.</small></li>
<li><small><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">60% favored arming Ukraine with jets or missiles</span>, <br>
27% help refugees only.</small></li>
<li><small><span style="font-weight: bold;">57% favored forcing Russia to obey international norms</span>, <br>
while a surprising 30% favored extending sanctions as an "<span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">economic war of democracies against autocracies</span>". Net 87% favored extending sanctions beyond end to current hostilities.</small></li>
<li><small><span style="font-weight: bold;">76% thought major war crimes had been committed by Russia</span>, <br>
10% by Ukraine. <br>
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">18% thought US domestic issues were more important. </span> <br>
26% thought there would be change in US policy until an election.</small></li>
<li style="font-weight: bold;"><small>Asked about Donald Trump & Ukraine</small></li>
<ul>
<li><small>35% felt he'd arm Ukraine more aggressively</small></li>
<li><small>33% felt he'd pressure Ukraine to surrender</small></li>
<li><small>31% felt he'd only be concerned with getting dirt on Hunter Biden</small></li>
</ul>
<li style="font-weight: bold;"><small>Asked which leader they most respected:</small></li>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: bold;"><small>48% for Zelensky</small></li>
<li style="font-weight: bold;"><small>16% each for </small><span class="img-text"><small>Morawiecki & Biden</small></span></li>
<li><span class="img-text"><small>5% for Kaja Kallas</small></span></li>
<li><span class="img-text"><small>4% for Putin</small></span></li>
<li><span class="img-text"><small>2% each for Scholz, Macron & Trump<br>
</small></span></li>
<li><span class="img-text"><small>0.5% ea. Ron Paul, Tom Cotton, Obama, Modi, Xi</small></span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<small>The Trump question is interesting because no matter your
preference, only 1/3rd of the US believes Trump would take the path you
prefer. People are wildly undecided about Trump's real policy
intentions. <br>
<br>
From this survey at least, <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">t</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">he US public favors stronger action by significantly more than the margin of error</span>. Political affiliation was not polled to avoid contaminating the survey with political feeling. However, the <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">paltry 18% that felt domestic issues were unimportant in comparison</span>
does not seem to be reflected in media coverage and is a surprise. If
this stays on voters' minds, it could be a single-issue deciding factor
in May-June primaries, or even in fall elections.<br>
<br>
Based on all the results, and known divisions in the usually hawkish
Republican party, it seems likely bipartisan support for stronger
arming of Ukraine is high, possibly a majority in both parties.<br>

Brown, MLS, about: </span>
I am interested in how each person's unique talent, experience and life
situation leads them to different choices, and how to maximize each
person's potential. According to evolutionary theory, there is no
progress or advancement of one over the other, we've all been here 3.5
billion years. But the future can be predicted sometimes, and
knowing it changes it. Then progress can be defined by a
combination of the individual desires and abilities relative to the
future environment. Getting along in a common world does not mean
we all want to behave in the same way or seek the same things.
"Everybody
is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb
a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid,"
wasn't really said by Einstein, but it sums up my approach to the study
of people.</span></span></span></small></small></big></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"><big><small><small><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"><br>

I help small business owners leverage the power of the Internet to grow
their business. I have breathed and lived on the Internet for the past
20 years, and, therefore, have a good sense of how things evolve—what
works and what doesn’t. I can learn my clients’ business objectives,
provide actionable strategies, and manage the execution. </span></span></span></small></small></big></span>
