I read some Charles Dickens today. No this isn’t a Great Expectations joke. Rather, I read the first seven paragraphs of his 900 page novel Bleak House. Why? I wanted to test my literacy as part of social media’s great ongoing debate about humanity’s waning reading and writing abilities. A Substacker & Twitter personality broke […]

Day 1247 and For The Uncertain
If you have concerns about the instabilities abroad and at home in America, I am here to be of service. Being a Cassandra is a curse but when the moment arrives you are at least well prepared. And so if you’d like to chat about things like moving to Montana, being prepared for disasters natural […]

Day 1083 and Uncertainty
I feel as if I spend a lot of time reassuring people that nobody has a clue about what happens next and that’s fine. Even the brightest humans are still basically dim witted simians barely managing our fragile wetware as our environment provides constant destabilization. That we even survive that set of circumstances seems a […]
An auspicious pair of numbers for today’s date and I started something new which has been in the works since January began today.

Day 1696 and Unk-Unks
Older millennials from families that watched the news may remember the infamous Donald Rumsfeld quote about unknown unknowns. I’ll include the full quote from the Secretary of Defense about the lack of evidence for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Yesterday we enjoyed the uncomfortable tension of a cease fire announcement in the Israeli-Iranian conflict that America had just entered that no one was sure was real. Sure the president had said so inside the heaven ban built to purpose social network Truth Social, but we had no basis for belief in that without hearing […]

And yet I’m I am drawn in by the enthusiasm, the general spirit of joy and welcome, and, yes, the […]
For as exciting as the last few weeks have been it’s hard to feel like as it’s the dead of winter. I’ve not gone outside in several days as we are in -20 land which probably contributes to fatigue. Thankfully it’s bright and sunny. I don’t have anything useful to say as being in the […]

Day 1474 and Process over Outcome
It’s hard to trust, well, anything. The uncertainty of the near future looks like the uncertainty of the far future right now. It feels as if one is in a fog so thick that you can’t see your own hand reaching out to touch something at arm’s length let alone glimpse gjr far horizon How […]
I remain enthralled by Infinite Backrooms and Truth Terminal. If you aren’t caught up on this please browse my first two posts on the subject Goatse Singularity (it’s safe) and the lore behind Singularity culture online. The TLDR is that we’ve got the best alignment experiment in artificial intelligence happening in real time for anyone […]
