My mind did not go there, and I never got the memo that March 11, 2020 was seen as "The Day." AI is super helpful when you bring the right stuff to the table.
Didn’t say it started the shutdowns, it’s the day that the Covid 19 pandemic became reality for the US. Just ignore all of the other stuff that happened on 3/11/20, no biggie.

My take on it is that he chose a random number to illustrate what a flipping slog it's been in general, perhaps since waking up. How many times have you personally thought you had reached your wall, or at least got close to it?
Honestly, it's feeling quite like humans were made for this...to just keep going no matter what, even when we think we can't take another step. Maybe the words will mean something different to everyone who reads them, but they certainly are thought-provoking.
3/12/26 - 2192 = 3/11/20
So what happened on 3/11/2020?
Ah, I forgot. From AI

The shutdowns started on 3/16/2020, not 3/11

It said that that was when SF shutdown, but it's not true, same with most of the rest. Just ignore accuracy, no biggie

My apologies if I'm missing the obvious, but what's he referring to?
Covid 19 pandemic. See my other comment.

Love Martin Geddes! Thanks for posting chick! 👏
I think it may be since he determined Q had to be real?
edited: never mind. Time since Covid.
Perhaps multiple meanings exist...
I've followed the HTL/JOEI posts everyday, since HTL was started at 0, and still can't believe I made it through 4 years of Bidan.
Just wait until tomorrow... 😁
