So say we all

Without attention to sustainability, our nation's age of enlightenment has surrendered to an era of visceral, malevolent anti-intellectualism which will subjugate the rights of the citizenery, except for those favored by the meritocracy and its oligarchs.

Metaphor.

I came across a reel that said that data centers (i.e. a cloud host enironment) are not necessary for AI utilization- and the only reason data centers are being used is to harvest personal data for a myriad of reasons. Does anyone know if this is true?

My daughter will graduate high school in 2027 and is currently evaluating options for higher education. A Marine recruiter just reached out to lure her with a sales pitch. Given the state of the world and our military- I would not advocate any of her generation serve until this regime is removed.

Taxing labor left us with a national deficit, if we start taxing wealth appropriately we might just start making progress.

Ever wonder what information your mind is filtering out in order to maintain cognitive status quo?

Dad passed away early this morning. I'm relieved because his suffering from Parkinson's has ended, but also saddened for the life that was lost.

“We could do tremendous good for ourselves by just not trading with countries” — Trump’s bonkers view of trade is that you become wealthy by not engaging in commerce

Had a Libertarian laugh at me when I told him that if it weren't for the social contract- he'd be screwed as the rest of us. His thought is that the social contract means someone is "entitled" to his labor.

"Overeducated" is a derogatory term used to slander intellectuals.

We cannot utilize the concrete thinking of the generations before us, because its failure is evidenced by the state of our current problems. One must consider the future in order to have a prosperous present. As Americans, we have failed to think and plan for the long term.

I'm enthralled by the idea of a just world.

The flagpole in our front yard stands solitary and barren of our nation's colors, intentionally withheld until such time as the corrupt regime that presides over our governance is removed and a semblance of unifying justice is restored.

Liatening to Trump's "foreign interference in our elections" speech- and his lies are not even plausible.

The fundamentalist beliefs of Christian Nationalists is the impetus for attacking Iran.

The people complaining about having to pay taxes for programs that are of social benefit are the same people not recognizing when corporations don't pay living wage. Government provides for labor wage laws and unions facilitate fairness of pay. Government does not need to be big to be effective.

With regards to whether this reality is a "simulation"- yes this world is real- but it is does not contain all that we are.

Greed is an undiagnosed mental health crisis among the top 1%.

I work for the Veterans Health Adminstration. And since the Trump administration took over, we have lost 4 of the 6 positions we had, leaving those remaining with an untenable workload. The work I do is essential for our agency's accountability/ public trust- which DJT cares nothing about.

Humanity will only just survive if we continue to view existence as a zero sum game. In order to thrive and progress, we need to be mindful of progressing as a group while acknowledging to foster the individual.

History is not going to have any choice than to judge us harshly for the acts that we as citizens are allowing this government to perpetrate.

For me, death is simply a conclusion of this life- I can handle most expected deaths with grace. But it's the senseless ones, or the ones that surprise with their impact on those I love that lay me low. I hate to see people grieve and then feel them suffer. Personal loss is not easy to process.

A forensic audit of the Kentucky ES&S vote tabulation systems needs to be conducted.

Physical and online barter spaces are one method of bypassing the usual profit channels to the oligarchs. I'm imagining the unused and abandoned market spaces being occupied by people, their skills and wares, to effectivley provide for their needs.

What 10 years has cost us.

Not to be "woo-woo", but some people just need to raise their vibration. Oh, and we need to stop promoting psychopathic and sociopathic behaviors and instead recognize them for their destructive nature.

The scientific practice of disregarding the outliers needs to give way towards the discovery of new sciences.

If you're wondering how the July 2024 attempt on Trump in Butler could happen- it's because the Trump "circle" corrupted part of the Secret Service as well as the FBI. This is what he does, and when he's gone, we are going to hold all of these agencies accountable and render them incorruptible.

I feel dumber after listening to him speak. This press conference should have been a press release.

The purpose of our existence is trying to retain free will while in a system where reailty is defined for us.

I've tried to manifest my beliefs into reality utilizing my rational mind without significant success, and now find myself willing to try to engage the spiritual aspect of my being towards that end. Asa parent, I will do anything to facilitate positive change in the world my children will inherit.

Wonder what the AI response would be when asked about the utility of billionaires?

As a government employee mandated to return to office, I have difficulty with rising costs of both energy and transportation. This administration would do well by its employees if it would allow us to work from at least some of the time given these circumstances.

Looks like I was wrong... Adam Baldwin is on board. Just waiting for the announcement now.

I'm not content with idea of 47 bypassing justice here for it to be dispensed in hell. America needs to wake up and decide if he should be in charge.

Trump will be out of office by the end of 2026. The GOP won't allow him to be impeached again.

"Sign our petition to assist Senator XXXXX and oppose Trump's <insert nonsense of the week here>." <fills out online form> > Clicks Next DONATE HERE. 😡 Politics runs on money, not your thoughts or beliefs. Until we recognize this and change it, nothing will change. Looking at you ACT BLUE...GFY.

To die as the result of conscious neglect of humanity is the most unjust of all.

The Men's US hockey team just lost my respect by partying with Kash Patel and taking that call with DJT. Never assume that just because someone is both skilled and famous that they are a good person.

The House and the Senate are undermining their own authority by not holding those testifying accountable.

The Attorney General of the United States needs to be held in contempt of Congress.

MAGA Representatives are not just going to push for ID for voting, but will go a step further and push for RealID for voting access. And that will disenfranchise millions of voters.

One fact I never hear anyone mention about the shooting of Renee Good is that Agent Ross had the camera pointed at Renee Good as she turned the wheel- a clear indication of where the car was going. He warched her- the shooting was premeditated.

If the 13 Jan video of Alex Pretti is real, I would like to see the moments leading up to it as well as the corroborating police report. The fact DHS has not provided any additional information about this incident feels like they are hiding something.
