The SIGNAL was a warning shot for sure.

Even hiding in a microwave in a Faraday cage wearing a tinfoil hat could not escape it.

Knowing that it was coming was as effective as doing it.

Like the tension of knowing that an appointment for an injection has been made for you.

Funny that Russia chose the same day as the US to shock blast their human resources too.

When I started my online information surfing the BBS was primary, then of course the browser gives us the web. Our knowledge systems do not discuss this techno-cultural embedding. I am considering this moment as that of taxed and Licensed Printing after the printing press was invented and used. Now with A.I. and an ensemble of technologies like the browser and internet a deeply and profoundly different programming than TV or Cinema is resting on high speed local non-locality. I in San Francisco, you in Berlin, both see a third person using a cell and live streaming floods. There of course is not a need for a TV crew sending a signal and speed of both thought and machine. Picosecond experience gives rise to events in time though of varying duration. Even trivial events speed the moment onward. And so from all this humankind is degraded by banality, reduced to Pavlovian Man, broken from adult to child forced by others to have a Credo. They are put as adult children into diapers for their safety at all waking moments and explained the rectal catastrophe as Long Covid Ad Absurdum in detail.

"The credo quia absurdum est”

Quia regularly introduces a fact; hence it rarely takes the Subjunctive. Quia, unlike quod, is generally used to express a reason that the writer vouches for, as opposed to one ascribed to someone else.  Therefore, say the fear driven human, is taught a new and quite different "Credo quia absurdum est.” A virus called Covid exists funded by the DOD to kill all humanity that leaked out of one of many USPRC government labs in CHINA and can't find the right person to thank so can't get back into the lab on screen where it once it belonged.

i kind of wonder if there's some AI involved in those shots that zoom in on the band on the roof from elsewhere. Possibly not, but can't remember seeing them in previous viewings of the rooftop sessions.

AI still seems dumb to me. Good at one dimensional stuff not so great on two or three dimensional stuff.

I am full on with this brain stuff.

Not enough hours in the year to follow all your leads Stegiel.

I should be cooking dinner for my family.

BTW: McGilchrist does seem to be the vaccine that I am currently in need of.

So thank you for the injection.

*They* have just given it a smart name.

Better I suppose than the stoopid names that celebrities give their children.

Once upon a time children were named after their forbears.

Commenting to myself (again), enjoying "The Master and his Emissary".

And the quote on the first page ( yes I am a slooow reader) that "Charles II apologised that he had been 'an unconscionably time a-dying' ".

Love it and Charles the Turd suffers from the same.

Or should do.

Western Civilization despite McGilchrist's pious hope is dead. Probably since 1914--- 'an unconscionably time a-dying'

I did get a surprise at those camera angles for sure.

Maybe there were drones back then and I didn't know.

I know that Beatles song! but I never actually knew the lyrics for sure.

Relistening now I feel just a tinsy bit foolish.

But to my credit I knew that that was the song that you were going to link to before I saw that you had.

Get Back is perfect. The time has come to make short clips with soundtrack. My college best friend and I did this before MTV to Vietnam war news footage with A Sony Betamax. Think we did an hour video, Fun.
