  • Little Fly,
    Thy summer’s play
    My thoughtless hand
    Has brushed away.

    Am not I
    A fly like thee?
    Or art not thou
    A man like me?

    For I dance
    And drink, and sing,
    Till some blind hand
    Shall brush my wing.

    If thought is life
    And strength and breath
    And the want
    Of thought is death;

    Then am I
    A happy fly,
    If I live,
    Or if I die.

    • poem by William Blake




  • AI is very useful and powerful as a propaganda device and a system to generate and disseminate disinformation, misinformation and non-information very quickly and very efficiently.

    It was thought that the internet would do the same but that system only goes at the speed of humans and the whole system is regulated by humans … so as propaganda tool, it has worked better but not as well as predicted. Humans saw the the potential for abuse and fought back against it.

    AI is like propaganda on cocaine … and there is very little to stop it other than our awareness of it … but the majority of everyone in the world don’t care to understand what they are watching is real or not. What that means is that AI is set to reshape how everyone thinks and how we all see the world.


  • Investors are like parasitic leeches to any business model. As soon as you add them, the business has to grow in order to satisfy the leeches who provide no benefit to the model other than to be attached to it. If you ignore the leech, they’ll drain all your lifeforce, so your only option is to satisfy them and feed them. Unfortunately, they are also ravenous creatures who are never satisfied. If you feed them a little, they’ll want more next time in an endless cycle.

    Once you are infected by investors … eventually they will destroy whatever you created.




  • Burner phone … leave your main one at home … ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BRING YOUR MAIN PHONE

    Set up your burner phone with one or two accounts to things you might want to upload to … encrypt as much as you can. Do not load all your social accounts … only log into the bare minimum. If you are organized, log into temporary or fake or secondary accounts if you can.

    Start the day without any prior history, photos or content on the phone and keep as few contacts as you can … memorize numbers that are important to you.

    Always be prepared to give up or lose your phone.

    And as always … SAFETY GLASSES … bring a pair of industry rated CSA approved safety glasses (try to get a pair with a tint so you can pass them as sunglasses). Look for safety glasses with anything marked ANSI Z87+, sometimes written Z87.1+ (note the plus) rated or CSA Z94.3 rated are ensured to safely withstand a direct high energy strike.

    … additional things if you want to do more

    Bring a small new blank paper note book you can keep in a pocket with a small pen or pencil … you might be taking notes like license plates, name tags or names of people or places … its always faster to just write something down than in taking a shaky photo or tapping away a note on an app

    Wear a big scarf … for guys or girls … a scarf comes in handy for all kinds of emergencies including using it as something to cover your mouth, dress a wound, tie something or cover something up.

    Wear a good pair of running shoes … be prepared to run and be on your feet all day.

    Bring a small backpack and bring a couple bottles of water and some energy bars … keep it light because you’ll be on your feet all day and if things go bad, you might be targeted if you have a large pack … plus an empty pack can be used to carry things later if you need to.

    Dress for the weather … if its going to be hot, wear light clothing but if things go bad and you have to stay out over night or longer, bring a light jacket … if rain is forecast within a day or two, bring a small poncho




  • It’s a way of controlling the software … it would be a lot more difficult to make changes, even change settings or adjusting the software from time to time if it’s constantly being updated every week.

    I noticed this with Chrome … a few years ago, there were lots of settings, hacks and changes and adjustments you could make to the browser to avoid tracking, advertising and all sorts of other things and to generally make it run faster. All that activity is lost now because Chrome literally updates itself every week.

    I run Linux and my software doesn’t update it self that much … the only thing that updates itself every week is Chrome … the entire package about 50-60MB every time, wipes itself and reinstalls a new version every time … so any changes you had made to the software or any attempt at adjusting anything in the deep software is all lost and reset over and over again.




  • This all suggests that we keep producing, wasting and manufacturing things infinitely without ever recycling, reusing or re purposing everything that we are mining out of the ground. The article notes that this includes recycling but only at the rate we have now.

    If we keep running our world the way we are now for the next hundred yes … than yes, we are going to run out of everything because we live in an absolutely wasteful society that only runs in a way to produce things designed with planned obsolescence to break down in a short amount of time so that we can produce more junk to sell and drive a stupid economy to make a small group of idiots even more wealthy. The whole system is designed to run on making infinite money by producing infinite junk that doesn’t last long.

    Yes at the rate we are going and the way we are producing things and the way we shape our economy and the way we base our manufacturing … we are definitely going to run out of everything.

    We can change our economy and the way we produce and manufacture things - and get rid of this stupid structure of society of just endlessly making money for a small group of morons … or we can keep doing things the way we are now until we run off a cliff and destroy everything and drive our species into extinction.
