my certainty about whether our space brothers, born of common ancestors, will actually come back to save our asses is not 100%

but my certainty about needing to navigate a way to avoid the blatantly stupid people who are going to drag everyone around them into the abyss, is 100%

so i'm going to escalate my efforts to live without excessive dependencies, nay, to cut all dependencies on the stupids as much as possible

i have another 50 years or so, probably, and it's worth it for that

but if a lady catches me i'd like to be focused on ensuring she and our spawns don't either get caught in such dependencies and are mentally prepared for a zero electric life as might happen for a time in the future while everything is wild out there in our galaxy

Speaking of "our space brothers, born of common ancestors," I was thinking about Job 14:1 this morning which states "Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble." And I thought to myself, what man is not born of a woman, except for Adam? Why word it that way? And then I thought, perhaps because there are some "humans" who are not born of women, i.e., are not sons of Adam, but are rather "sons of God," commonly called "angels" our space brethren I believe you were referring to...

zero electric life is OK, as long as you have a fresh waterfall in your backyard.

I spent 2 weeks without electricity in a community in Brazil. There was a waterfall in the woods behind the community (thankfully uphill and upstream). the whole community neighborhood naturally figured out times for men and women to go wash clothes and take showers.

without the electricity, i got better sleep. However as soon as the water stopped flowing into the sink from the gravity tanks (electric pump dependent), i had the thought "why am I living here".

hah

yeah, hygiene is the hard one

but nothing that can't be solved with old school wood fire boiler tech and steam driven pumping

honestly, i am now of the opinion that most of the reasons why i have bad parasites these days is because of the food, which is not what i'd eat if i had no electric and cold logistics

hell, i look at the supermarket and i could probably carry out every item that is my definition of food in my 20L backpack, there is almost nothing for sale anymore that isn't poison or waste products being marketed as food
