The Plethora of Engineering Disciplines

-

Engineering has been a staple of human knowledge and creativity since we first started using tools and creating societies. Without engineering, most modern amenities and utilities wouldn't be possible, including the cell phone I am typing on right now. 

     A major catalyst for human ingenuity is conflict. Conflict creates the necessary sense of urgency to expedite the engineering process so we can have an advantage over our enemies. 

        Nuclear engineering got it's initiation in the heat of the Second World War in order for us to have an atom bomb before Nazi germany or Japan beat us to the punch and gave them a clear strategic advantage in the war. 

       Fields like civil engineering branched off of military engineering used in wars to sap enemy defensive structures and create physical bases of operations in foreign territories and design and construct roads, runways, and other transportation structures. 

       Engineering is one of the greatest demonstrations of real-world applicable creativity. Don't get me wrong, creativity in terms of storytelling is still legitimate and quite useful, but as far as designing machines and systems that can operate here in this physical realm, the mathematics and physics principles of engineering are extremely valuable.

      Engineering has great economic and industrial utility, which is why it is one of the fields that has the highest financial return of the hard sciences. Engineering is one of the major catalysts for the industrial revolution, and without creative engineering it would be all but impossible for humanity to be technologically advanced, which is why it is one of the most important fields of study in our society.

         It is one of the most diverse fields. Dozens of types of engineering exist, ranging from mechanical, industrial, systems, electrical, civil, nuclear, software, military, and many other forms of engineering. There are possibly methods or branches of engineering we haven't discovered yet. 

Biological and chemical engineering can help create new methods of treating diseases and increase the efficiency and production output of our agriculture, helping to feed the world and prevent famine. 

Artificial intelligence and quantum computing are only possible through creative engineering strategies and applications. 

      You can apply engineering principles to social and political institutions and organisations, since bodies of people are complex systems in their own right. There are a significant amount of ap

 As I work and study at Montana State University, one of the top engineering schools of it's kind, I am exceedingly grateful I have as many professors and students to have conversations with as well as a plethora of information on a wide variety of topics. This is a great school. You can get a free education just from conversations if you ask the right questions and talk to the right people.

Have a great day everyone. Day 2 of engineering discussion week complete.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

-
Image
Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
