Thanks for the links!

I do know that the Q drops focus on ending the horrors inflicted on Mankind by the Cabal, and I don't see any drops that seem to even mention AI, directly or otherwise. Also, pedes have speculated on this board that Q team have / are using an AI in their fight against the Cabal.

In short, I don't see anything to suggest that Q is at all concerned with AI wrecking civilization or worse.

That suggests several possibilities to me:

  • There IS no chance of AI causing major problems (I doubt this is true)

  • Q team isn't concerned about a severe AI-caused problem (THAT seems possible, although not likely)

  • Q team is focused solely on human-caused evil at this time and wants US to also be so focused, but might have plans to deal with AI that we don't yet know about

I hope it's the last one, because I do think the potential for serious harm from AI is far from negligible -- and most AI research is, I am sure, being done by or for governments and militaries around the world. Even if (ha!) we can trust the intent and safety of AI being created in the US, does it make sense to feel that way about AI being created (from scratch or modified from stolen programming) in North Korea, Iran, China, and every other belligerent dictatorship around the globe?

Ah, the very first vote is a downvote. Interesting. I wonder (as always) what the reason is:

  • Disgust at using the word Savior for anyone other than Christ? (Of course, that was Q's call, not mine).

  • Concern that the whole topic is "dooming"?

  • Sick of posts about AI generally?

  • Something else?

I'm always curious to learn what a downvoting pede is reacting to. Seeing different sides of an issue is an important part of truth-seeking.

This also hints at why, in a free market, everyone who contributes is serving their fellow man -- striving to create products or provide services that people want or need enough to pay for. Without the marketplace, the hard work necessary to create those products and to provide those services would fall to the consumer, who literally CANNOT duplicate it except in a few, small instances.

People would mostly have to do without (really, are you gonna create your own automobile, from conception to finished product? Even creating your own sandwich from scratch is a major project -- growing the wheat and lettuce, creating the mayo, raising and then slaughtering the chicken, etc).

A properly-functioning market is the heart of civilization; without one, the rest of civilization falls apart.

The pre-cuts and explosives remind me of the Twin Tower demolitions on 9/11.

This is really good, TNBanjoMan. It reminds me, surprisingly, of Sun Tzu's Art of War -- not the style, but the content -- in that it's all common sense, but putting into words gives it form and gravitas, and helps secure it in memory. Also, the six together help to broaden the view of character and behavior that you're describing.

I don't remember hearing that about the emergency act; wow. And in any case, I agree that "they could do anything they wanted and they probably did."

I'm stunned that not ONE of the top-line perps have been arrested or even charged with anything at this point, despite the growing mountain of evidence.

Pretty much all of history proves the Left-wing economic establishment wrong.

Good for Milei, and I hope he continues to govern as he has been.

I'm flabbergasted. This has GOT to be the Bee, somehow.

Very nice description! And the result is that an ordinary, non-mint-condition $20 one-ounce gold coin, like the once-common Double Eagle, now sells for over $2300.

No! But I wish I could say yes; just jotted the comment down without noticing.

Of course, this tells the world more about Ryan's character than Trump's. On second thought, it certainly puts Trump's character in a positive light, given what we've seen from Ryan over the years, so: yes, Ryan's refusal to support Trump highlights the character of BOTH men.

I don't know . . . I was kinda thinking the new FBI building should be built in either Siberia or Gitmo and all the high-level and most of the mid- and lower-level Feebs should be transferred there permanently.

Central Banking is a nationwide, indeed global, counterfeiting, loan-sharking, and economy-rigging operation for the benefit of a corrupt and unfathomably wealthy few.

Everything else is smoke and mirrors.

Speaking of smoke and mirrors, you might enjoy this hilarious, convoluted pseudo-description of how the FED works -- I encountered this some years ago and it apparently hasn't been updated since:

https://money.howstuffworks.com/fed1.htm

One of the more mysterious areas of the economy is the role of the Fed. Formally known as the Federal Reserve, the Fed is the gatekeeper of the U.S. economy. It is the central bank of the United States -- it is the bank of banks and the bank of the U.S. government. The Fed regulates financial institutions, manages the nation's money and influences the economy. By raising and lowering interest rates, creating money and using a few other tricks, the Fed can either stimulate or slow down the economy. This manipulation helps maintain low inflation, high employment rates, and manufacturing output.

In this article, we'll visit the mystical world of the Fed and talk about terms like monetary policy, discount rates, and open market operation. We'll find out just what kinds of tasks fill Ben S. Bernanke's day, and see how his and the Federal Reserve Board's decisions affect our everyday lives.

SIXTEEN screens later, the article ends with this knee-slapper:

These checks and balances, along with the overall structure of the Federal Reserve, make sure that partisan interests don't have too much control and ensure that the Fed's decisions represent the broad interests and needs of the entire United States.

Ha! I was going to use that in my subject line, but didn't. Nice to have it here in the comments.

Wow.

HUGE increase in myocarditis after the jabs started; from extremely rare to an avalanche -- he's PERSONALLY now seen "hundreds" in his own practice, versus only TWO (one of which was fatal) in all the years prior to the jabs.

The progression of the damage can be subtle, might not even show up on an MRI, and clearly is leading to death sometimes years later (it's been about 3 years now) -- and will almost certainly continue to take lives going forward. Perhaps a LOT of lives.

Especially positive, imo, because I doubt that DARTS is a sport where a male's greater strength makes any difference at all.

She's not worried that males have an unfair advantage in HER sport; she's clearly just protesting the insanity of forcing women to compete with men, and the also-insane idea that mentally ill men who might also be using hormones, drugs, and surgery to pass as women actually aren't MEN anymore but somehow ARE women.

Of course businesses have to pass along higher costs (or take a hit to profits), but businesses compete ON PRICE in a FREE market. De-regulating (relatively speaking) the telephone companies back in the 70s led to a huge drop in prices, as the Baby Bells had to compete with one another. Long distance calls used to be a luxury.

When government gets involved in "regulation", you typically see prices skyrocket, as with the FDA and Big Pharma.

What the Hell are you talking about?

When people get hurt or killed in car accidents, it costs the insurance company's money. Do you think they WANT high costs? Effective safety gear lowers insurance costs. It also protects the lives and well-being of customers. It does raise the price of cars, so there's a balance needed, and a market-based regulation is both better able to strike a balance that works for all parties AND would allow at least the possibility of cheaper, non-compliant vehicles to be sold, perhaps with higher insurance premiums.
