President dude says we are into a new religious experience right now. "INFLECTION POINT" ,he says it's a rare every five generations event and he said we're doing it and shit, he's the president, he can't lie... even if he does he doesn't because if the president tells it, then it isn't a lie. Another president we had said that about something else but, it is close in spirit and so, I'm saying it. We must be done with the "DECREE" epoch or they got them going in tandem, I don't know. I can check and get back to you.

Americans love to hate the gubmit. Do anything about it? No they won't.

Yeah, and look what happens when we go out and vote for our deeply researched and questioned candidates. It almost always turns out that the guy that we voted for isn't there, he disappeared right after he had an oath administered to him, he'll be back just in time for the next victory and homecoming dance at the Electoral College Bowl, they had it in Wuhan, China the last few years and the Bat Hunter Team from Tasmania won the Viral Hunt in the trees, it had been hiding with a monkey family, it was easy to sneak up on, they got it back just in time for the guy in the prez's chair to give it to most of us, free.

He wants to do it again, too. What do you think, should we hire him back? He could have two assistant presidents, there are two really seasoned pros right there with him, MJT and Sarah Palin...or any other two itchy "new republican" girl bulldogs with lipstick on.

Yes KWN, Stegiel comes up with interesting sources.

He comes up with them faster than I can process them indeed.

This seems to me a very good Substack post.

Hope I get around to rereading it.

But must cook dinner.

Nature abhors a vacuum. Roughly the time of the rediscovery of Greek works Western man "Swerved" from eyes on Divinity and tyresome commands that made no man wealthy and states strong. Instead ego inflation moved in. No God meant no master greater than man. And at this time the rise of the banking system took place. The fumes of the funeral pyre of God were pleasing to the powerful.

Always seemed a dangerous idea to say that man was made in God's image.

All these god wannabes that we have gotten lording over us.

Good notion about the apple, I'd been likening tech to Pandora's box. Same idea.

Curious creatures, humans, like a dog with a bone :)

In a sense we are all Masons. Bonaparte was called Emperor of the Masons.

Long ago the body guard for Trotsky wrote a SF novel called Limbo. The idea was youth to end war amputated limbs and fitted prosthetics. In the aftermath of an atomic war, a new international movement of pacifism has arisen. Multitudes of young men have chosen to curb their aggressive instincts through voluntary amputation—disarmament in its most literal sense.

Those who have undergone this procedure are highly esteemed in the new society. But they have a problem—their prosthetics require a rare metal to function, and international tensions are rising over which countries get the right to mine it . ..

Interesting that it was Trotsky's guard. I guess the pair had some meaningful conversation.

So they had their arms cut off to disarm them from war.

Maybe trans hope for the same esteem with their sacrifice.

Doesn't work out so well when people quit with the esteem.
