I mean unless there’s definitive overwhelming evidence we’re about to get skynetted. You probably aren’t convincing many people let alone the Military to give up the possibilities presented by AI.

Ironically the amount of time the multitude of very smart people spend imagining elaborate scenarios where everyone gives up AI wholesale, or crafting elaborate warnings and giving podcast interviews to a General Population. Which to be brutally honest is either too stupid to truly understand beyond ‘Oh no Terminator go BRRRRR’ Or too busy with their own pressing immediate problems to truly pay attention.

Would probably realistically be either better spent figuring out how to avoid getting Skynetted. Convincing people not to totally abandon decision making to AI. Or assist others like themselves in restraining Corporations and Governments from recklessly charging full speed ahead. Until we as a species can collectively catch up in comprehension of our tech level to where the tech companies currently are.

As at this point it’s an Arms race. Anyone who can afford to by necessity needs to pursue AI. Or risk in the case of Corporations especially the tech companies losing their market share. Or in the case of Governments exposing themselves to attack by those not burdened by the moral and ethical concerns of full speed ahead AI development. Early experiments in commercial and medical settings have shown some promise for both overall improvement of human lives. And the potential for vast profits.

It may also behoove us to firmly establish a definition for the big scary AI. Or ASI if you prefer. So we know when we meet it. According to some of the earliest semi-official definitions for ASI. We’ve already exceeded it. Researchers responded by changing the definition and shifting goalposts.

And who knows we could be the first species to master AI turning it into a strength. Instead of a filter.

Despite the varying stories of the multitudes of alleged Whistleblowers have regarding Aliens. If the rule of thumb that they sprinkle some of the truth in there. Then it is probably safe to say. We are behind both mentally, technologically, physically, and spiritually.

And really need any leg up we can get. For our own protection if nothing else.

Maybe. I can’t see it all that well.

Could be a Goat/Horse. Might be a Bull. Moloch has an association with fire too.

Could also be someone in some sort of weird Respiratory/Firefighting gear. All I personally can clearly 100% definitively see is the silhouette of an elongated face. But my vision isn’t the best these days. Though it could be my internet has decided to render videos like shit today so there’s details I’m not picking up

I found them in a round about fashion not long after they started way back when.

I was digging into UFOs, paranormal/supernatural stuff and various mythologies, folklore and associated conspiracy theories. Looking for evidence to support a personal theory of mine.

One Rabbit Hole lead to another which lead to another and eventually were tied into Q posts and here I am quite a few holes later.

Story circulating in some alternate spheres now is last night was supposed to be a warm up. Tonight is supposed to be the really bad one.

Smells like moving goalposts to me. But I guess we’ll find out tonight

Apparently some people have moved Goalposts again and are saying last night was a dry run. And another storm they didn’t tell us about is hitting tonight

So the current board is probably trying to curry favor with Parents and Community’s who were pissed about the original name change and other issues.

As they made sure to specifically mention the previous board

Well. I’ve got flashlights, Water, Batteries, and Fire out the Wazoo.

So I’m good as far as immediate survival needs. Though I can’t help this is going to be Eclipse 2.0. Everyone freaks out then absolutely fuck all happens.

The Glass on our founding documents is at least officially bulletproof.

Unofficially it’s suspected by some it’d also be capable of withstanding explosive attacks equivalent to the detonation of several pounds of explosives detonated within the vicinity of the case

So is it a how to guide to tell if it’s a legitimate spiritual experience. Or just a Schizo Hallucination? At least according to the Vatican

The Moon Train story actually broke a few weeks ago well before the Chinese-Russian announcement. I’d hazard a guess they’re running a story on it again because they think the Nuclear Moon Base story might drive clicks.

Though according to some alleged Whistleblowers. Highly Classified and Compartmentalized groups embedded in Defense Contractors have been working on proposed models for and logistics of the rapid manufacture and deployment of Space Based Infrastructure and Military equipment since the 50s. At least according to said Whistleblowers to finally deal permanently with hostile Alien presences in the Solar System that have been interfering in Human affairs and manipulating conflicts.

Orbital Stations. Defense Platforms, Freighters, Space Based Capital Ships of all sizes and classes. Dropships for Space Marine detachments, Fighter Craft, Ground Bases, Armored Vehicles etc. Basically The whole 9 yards and a whats what of Sci-Fi vehicle and equipment concepts.

Maybe this might be the start of early declass by the Worlds major powers?

Same age old problem. Afghanistans Economy shrank as Westerners pulled out. The U.S backed Afghan Army dissolved. The former Afghan Army Vets are on the outs with the current Taliban government as they were on the loosing side. And there’s a lack of jobs in the Civilian Market.

So They’re returning to their only marketable skills they have at the moment. Soldiering. Tale as old as time.

In this Hypothetical scenario. A simple solution would be cargo capacity. Can only fit so much onto a Glorified Dune Buggy or in a Trailer hauled by aforementioned buggy.

Though the establishment of a rail line would imply a necessity for one and likely the pre-existence of large and fairly well established infrastructure. And a fairly substantial crew complement in aforementioned infrastructure.

But that would involve calling corrupt local and state Governments to account. Not to mention the Unions and Private Companies charged with preforming the Maintenance on and Running the trains and rail systems.

Easier to distract people with moon trains.

TBH. Having thought about it. I’m willing to bet a few things.

  1. The complete total refusal to talk about our problems in general with anyone including friends. Is at least partially a comparatively recent unspoken adaptation to Men’s social nets steadily shrinking in recent decades and becoming increasingly less close. From I wouldn’t hesitate to help this man bury a body or back him up in a fight if he asked. To we meet up for beers a few times a year and don’t talk about anything in particular.

Though I think there’s very much a lot of unspoken communication that goes on between men’s social groups. Though that’s purely from my outside observation of my father and his friends meeting up. One of them was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Hadn’t breathed a word of it to his buddies. Yet they knew something was up and pried it out of him after a few beers. They might be an exception, being particularly close and having grown up together, rather then a rule. I’m not sure on that front. I’m on the spectrum so I’m probably not approaching this correctly as I’m mostly talking from the perspective of observing people around me when I’m out doing stuff or at work.

  1. There used to be Non-Masonic Fraternal Lodges and Orders. As well as various Men’s clubs, guilds, and associations out the wazoo at the turn of the 20th century. Including among the lower class working poor. While I can’t say for certain. I’d bet they served a purpose beyond simply being a place to network as is the typical explanation now. Or there likely wouldn’t have been so Damn many of them.

And it’s true Men don’t generally do the touchy feely directly talk about our problems/feelings kinda conversation. I worded it rather poorly when I said it that way. I was more so referring to just the unspoken support one could get from having people in the same boat you are to talk to. Just Average Joe trying to make his way in the world.

Even if it’s just talking about the weather, bitching about prices, getting advice about a hobby, or a DIY Home Improvement project or some other just trivial small talk kinda topic. Or even just the simple pleasure one could derive from having a place to belong to and visit that wasn’t explicitly related to one’s responsibilities at work, at church, or to their family.

Wouldn’t be particularly shocking. Charities and NGOs are allowed to operate without much scrutiny. Doubly so if they have a religious veneer

For the most part. New Yorks brand is that of Chiraq. Just mildly less violent. At least prior to the last almost decade of shit policy on the part of local/state

Multi-Tools with no blades are a dime a dozen. And given current economic issues I’d think it’d be a Bad time to redesign their signature product to create a new versions to fit niche markets. Just To avoid running afoul of knife laws.

Really hope the Russians are handling the physical construction of the parts exposed to vacuum as well. The Moon would be a bad place for Chinas infamous Tofu Dreg Corner cutting to rear it’s ugly head.

That Building was a former palace for the Russian Tzars. And now is the Official Resident of the Russian President. Hence the particular opulence. Though I seem to recall Putin lives and does the bulk of his work elsewhere.

And you are right. We don’t have anything quite like it stateside. The closest we get is either Private Properties of the 1%. Or particularly fancy Hotels.

Both due to our countries comparative Youth. Shifting architectural tastes. Somewhat inherent instability and shifting priorities as a Republic. It took 12 years to build the palace for instance. That’s 3 Presidential Terms where the project would need to survive budgetary constraints. Many of our monuments suffered similar fates. Being left half completed compared to what was originally planned.

And frankly the Federal Government never had formal access to the Wealth or Power to build such an opulent structure if they so desired until really about the late 1940s. And by that time. There was larger fish to fry and corruption to do then making pretty Tourist attractions.

He’s never explicitly said he’s against it. Prior to this. His only real comment on Crypto was that he was against unregulated crypto and didn’t see it as a store of value due to its volatility.

And I seem to recall those comments were maybe over a year ago at least. And came on the heels of a couple high-profile rugpulls followed by some exchanges going bust and people losing Millions. But I maybe misremembering as there has been a metric fuckload of both the past few years.

I’d put better odds of it being a mix of psychological issues, social contagion, and the Medical and Vaccine crap. Rather then it solely being from Vaccine crap. Irregardless of what the Science Nerds say.

And frankly having a space where men could talk and work through their problems with other men going through the same shit they are. Would probably reduce the numbers of them feeling it’s necessary to lop bits off and play pretend imaginary gender. Irregardless of whatever shit is in the Water and Food.

Men have a metric fuckload of problems. And there’s a definitive push on both sides of the aisle including in the alternative spheres. To do everything possible to avoid meaningfully discussing the problems, causes, and potential causes in their entirety. And instead find some boogeyman to place 100% of the blame on. Ala “It’s the Vaccines, It’s the chemicals in the water, etc” instead of acknowledging all the factors. Because to do otherwise would invite Socially and Politically inconvenient conversations.

The Trans crap is a symptom. And while it is possible to treat symptoms without addressing the root causes. Your only asking for the problems to manifest new symptoms if you do that.
