Yes there were … we just didn’t call them billionaires … we called them Kings, Queens, Supreme Rulers, Emperors, God Kings

The world looks exactly the same now as it did 2,000 years ago politically because the idea of supreme and infinite wealth never went away. We’ve always had men who believed they could rule or own the entire world … and we still do.

I always say and think about all this from the perspective of billionaires … all they ever care about is money and the free flow of money everywhere. As long as money is moving and people believe in it, praise it and worship it, everything else can be tolerated and controlled.

The internet and free flowing communication allows for money to flow a lot … without it money would quickly become segmented into tight regions and countries and everything becomes closed … which makes it harder for money to flow, which makes it harder for a billionaire to make more money.

Same with World War or even nuclear war … I don’t think it will ever happen on purpose because once that first bomb goes off, billionaires will cease to be billionaires as the world financial system collapses. The billionaires won’t care how many millions die, they’ll be more upset that their imaginary digitally managed wealth will either decrease a lot or even completely. They know that in a post apocalyptic world, no one will care if you claim to be a billionaire if banks no longer exist. You might say that billionaires will have gold stashes around to fund their own personal army … but that won’t work either because their army will just kill them to take the wealth.

All of it is possible because of human greed … all of it is under threat because of human greed … and all of it is held in balance because of human greed.

I usually hold onto the box of anything I buy brand new for about three months. After that you can get rid of it.

Electronics either work or they don’t, there is seldom anything in between.

If your device doesn’t fail or develop problems within a month or two, then it will last the warranty period and much longer if you take care of it.

I just hang onto the box for two or three months just to be sure.

The only other reason to hang onto the box is if you plan on reselling the device in a year or two. It’s a lot easier to resell for top dollar or a higher price if your device is clean, undamaged, has original manuals and the original box.

The rest of us standing there just looking at them

It makes you realize why we want to destroy the world so easily when we only ever see the world as being convenient for us only and not for all life no matter what shape or form it comes in.

Little Fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.

Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?

For I dance
And drink, and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.

If thought is life
And strength and breath
And the want
Of thought is death;

Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.

• poem by William Blake

I remember reading a long time ago that most insects are a very protein dense food source … beef when looking at the whole cow is about 50%-60% protein overall … while an insect is about 90% protein.

You need to threaten people with guns and machine guns

The crazy part is at this point in American history, you’d have a high chance of getting away with it all.

This is the equivalent of that obnoxious kid in the neighbourhood saying they’re taking their basketball home and no one can play basketball any more … then after he leaves, someone else brings another basketball anyway.

… or a Norwegian

always nice to include an anatomically correct butthole for the cat

Eats 10,000 bread … gets Level 14 diabetes

Make … (cough, cough, cough) … America … (cough, HACK, ACK) …Great … (cough, hack, wheeze, cough, hack)… Again

The Chinese government sitting around the phone with the US on hold …“how long should we make them wait?”

“Give them another hour, it’s already been two” (another round of belly busting laugher)

America: … (pretending to make static sounds, muffling their voice like it’s a bad connection)… WHAT’S THAT??! … we’ve got a bad connection … did you say … BOMB THEM MORE? … (keeps pretending to make static sounds)

Cum stain? It was a full term pregnancy that gave birth to a big giant orange piece of shit.

AI is very useful and powerful as a propaganda device and a system to generate and disseminate disinformation, misinformation and non-information very quickly and very efficiently.

It was thought that the internet would do the same but that system only goes at the speed of humans and the whole system is regulated by humans … so as propaganda tool, it has worked better but not as well as predicted. Humans saw the the potential for abuse and fought back against it.

AI is like propaganda on cocaine … and there is very little to stop it other than our awareness of it … but the majority of everyone in the world don’t care to understand what they are watching is real or not. What that means is that AI is set to reshape how everyone thinks and how we all see the world.

In that case, someone should come out with a quality phone and just slap Trump logos all over the damned thing and charge $2,000 for a $500 phone. Run the business until someone tells you to stop.

Sell Trump crap … it’s all crap anyway … make money on it if people are dumb enough to pay for this shit.
