i'm just impressed when a politician can talk off the cuff. maybe it's a craving for an older generation who were better communicators than I am.
About the pole shift, I mentioned it to someone who is in the know, and he told me this:
Genesis 9:11-13 (NIV):
11 "I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."
12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:
13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth."
So, he is not worried about pole shift. I tried to press him on "well maybe it's just a promise for in between the cycles (as in each cycle is a new start and finish). but he seemed doubtful, and just repeated this .
however, if it had to happen twice as the poet says... ice would be nice.
He also mentioned this promise:
Genesis 8:22 (NIV):
"While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease."
I am surprised to find myself rah rah anything, but this interview made me realize at least there is someone who can make me laugh. I like a laugh.
'Twas the Eve of 10/10, and all through the land there was the sight of one Star with a tail shining like Santas sleigh...
Don't worry if you miss it, it will be back in 80,000 years or so.
Beware of killing time by reading this
Fun fantasy from the last pole flip:
Some of the rescue spaceships were driven with AI instead of humans and they accidentally landed on Mars on the return to earth after the floods cleared up.
Basically Elon wants to find these long lost humans. He isn't going to mars to save us. We are going to Mars to find the remnant that landed there accidently 6 millennia ago.
"But", you may say, "I thought he wanted to go to Mars to save humanity from Earth."
Elon is forever a salesman. He knows his fellow humans would allow them to rot up there in Martian caves if there wasn't something in it for us earthlings.
Meanwhile in the backroom at Tesla Engineering...
God: "just train some human drivers"
Engineer: "With all the AI training from Tesla, Elons' new spaceships should be able to tell between a red planet and a green one. "
God: "That's what you guys said last time. Tell me, how much energy does AI take to drive a car. Now compare that to what my HI is capable of... Just train some backup space pilots please."
also, maybe i have been manipulated by a right wing media ecosystem (twitter) into thinking the hurricane helene response was awful when it was just normal.
but even if Elon/republicans did manipulate that...they certainly were pretty competent at that so maybe it will translate to governance...
i think it will be a decisive win regardless of our individual votes.
I don't know what the higher ground is.
on the low ground, I'm angry with incompetence and want to punish it somehow...decisively. the hurricanes kinda showed a level of menace and disdain that I previously did not attribute to certain powerful people.
i have been fired before from jobs. it's clear to me what I need to do.
I'm waking up to the idea that things like Wikipedia need to be decentralized.
However it's mainly just certain knowledge that is the most censored? Or do we need a copy of all the Encyclopedias?
Or just the parts that are threatened by changing opinions?
Someday we will have a library satellite to keep all this safe. It just needs to have a way of beaming down knowledge to earthlings. If ever anything should happen
ok, good, maybe i have faith in zaps again. it's just the non-synchronous/decentralized Nostr that's not showing it. Which I'm OK with.
well, Stu, I tested sending you a Zap. Amethyst shows that it got to you, Cashapp shows that it was sent, but when I look at Coracle and Nostrudel, It doesn't show that you have received the Zap...
I can still send, just can't figure out the receive hahaha. They also slow down my scrolling
Yeah I broke the zaps when I tried getting this Nsec bunker thing setup so I could login on Amethyst on phone and Coracle on Laptop.
It honestly makes Nostr less stressful to not have zaps. I don't know maybe I overthink the zaps.
Aww, fren, I think your posts get read. I assume there are just a lot of people who don't "like" because it's just how we are. The "impressions" are much higher.
I try to avoid interacting too much just because there are no likes so it makes it look like I'm the only one liking everything. But I think it's just how it is in early days of any project.
It's probably best to imagine that there are a lot of people mentally "liking" our posts, and that's just how it is.
You have a campfire 🔥 burning in cyberspace and there are little forest animals circling around and getting closer and making friends.
I've heard that the future is "Digital" so you might just be in luck!
they could get a lot of views as the excitement builds in the next 12 months. so I assume whoever chose to make this knows that there is going to be exciting times and more people looking at BTC content.
This reminds me of Saylor or someone mentioning how valuable it will be to position one's personal brand in the bitcoin space as it grows. He gave the example of Natalie Brunell. I assume she will be a go-to spokesperson for finance for the rest of her life.
i have no idea how to make a brand.
the only idea I had for a brand is an AI company that looks at legislation and rewrites it and suggests updates. It could battle it out like a game of Risk and see what laws to implement that could result in what outcomes.
consensus.AI
it would be the divorce lawyer for the centralized nations splintering into decentralized states
incredible. gardens everywhere.
because Buzz Aldrin punched a guy who asked him if it was fake
Yeah, consuming less carbs is in my future. I have no health affects yet, besides being grumpy and probably wanting to nap.
A friend said to avoid sugar at the start of day, which ive noticed really helps the regulation throughout the day.
I guess there's a reason why we eat desert last so it doesn't spike the blood sugar.
