The UN Predicts Achieving 2.9 Degrees C of Global Warming by the End of the Century

If you think we will have to wait until the end of the century, — say about another 76 years from now, to hit 2.9 degrees of warming, just an additional 0.9 degrees, then you have not been listening to explanations of exponential growth. According to James Hansen, et al, in "Global Warming is Accelerating. Why? Will We Fly Blind?", 14 September 2023, the Best…

Humans Want To Compulsively Repeat Perinatal And Neonatal Trauma

It's The Base Psychological Drive — Understand the shift from a nurturing placenta to a calcified poisonous placenta, the pressure on the mother's inferior vena cava, and the pollution of amniotic fluid with feces and urine followed by violent head-crushing NDE. Then undergo a psychological split, projecting the bad self, the one mother doesn't like and…

If you’re good with just a couple of weeks then stock up on canned chili, a couple of loaves of nice French bread, coffee, a ton of alcohol and cigarettes, and maybe some tasty pastries.

Once upon a time, I crossed paths with a soldier of fortune,

a mercenary, coming from Rhodesia on his way to Nicaragua. — His POV based on his first-hand experience with societal collapse was that all one needed to survive was more ammo, everything else that one needed or desired was in the possession of someone either dead or soon to be. Sections of highways extending across counties and states have already been…

Designing My Custom AI Chatbot

A Private Network of 5 or 6 Servers — UPDATE: I’ve decided to start with an Orange Pi 5 Plus for an AI Backend and another Orange Pi 5 Plus for a Front End instead of the Raspberry Pi. Of course, the 32G option seems superior to the 16G option but the 16G option is available now and the…

…arming is only a fraction of the equilibrium warming, because of the ocean’s great thermal inertia. Even after 100 years the expected response to a forcing is only about 60 percent; most of the GHG forcing was added in just the past 50 years.”

I like to put this into perspective by remembering that the mass production and mass consumption of internal combustion engine-powered vehicles is only about 100 years old and we're just beginning to feel the heat ramp up from that so our temperature will ramp up as an exponent of the…

I’m not so in my head and dramatic to say this will lead to the breakdown of society. But — taken together — the things I’m talking about do pave the way for a society that’s becoming easier and easier to leave.

All symptoms of a sick society bereft of hope.

All symptoms of a sick society bereft of hope. Perhaps the loss of hope due to the multiplying impending doom scenarios and their statistical inevitability metastasizes in this way. Seems the question of the speed of mass adoption of a post-doom mindset looms over us all.

Quantum Mechanics Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) and Simulation Theory

Maybe they’re not so far apart. — The only thing absolutely clear in contemporary society is the death trip we’re on, Freud’s death drive, and a will to annihilation. The world’s current timeline leads to human extinction and the collateral extinction of many other species as well. A few of us seek to avoid this extinction by…

He had very pronounced views on the differences between what he did and what people in advertising did. My understanding is that Bernays self-identified as The Father of Public Relations. During WWI the Committee on Public Information (1927-1919) hired Bernays to affect the attitudes of the enemy, of neutrals, and…
