Whether it is a brain processing a lifetime of experience or a network processing a stream of text, everything converges right here, in the immediate now.

The fictionalized account of a love that could have been. An AI-driven app which finds the context between three nouns. A cyclical approach to American history. Or, getting certified by Google as a machine learning engineer. It's just difficult to choose.

I once fell in love with a beautiful Italian girl with window cleaner blue eyes. She was from Buffalo, New York. I wrote her a love poem and gave it to her. She gave me a peck on the cheek. I looked at the lipstick in the mirror for at least a half hour, studying her unique lip print.

Capitalism worked best under agrarian or artisan societies. Each citizen selling what they produced through their labor and skill But now, it's a little bit more complicated than that. Capitalism doesn't work when anyone can know anything. AI levels the playing field....if it's owned by the public

I wouldn't want to be rich in America right now. Someone might put me, head first, into a wood chipper. That would be terrible!

I really should write a book that would be a fictionalized account of a love that could have been.

Stop eating beef. It's not environmentally sustainable. I don't care what your culture says.

Professor Krugman: the concentration of wealth is THREE TIMES what it was at the peak of the Gilded Age. youtube.com/shorts/EkTDJ...

We thought that by giving jobs to the young and pensions to the elderly, we would have solved the biggest part of society's ills. Instead, they simply outsourced and automated jobs so that they wouldn't have to pay for labor if at all. Workers are consumers.

1929 was a high concentration of wealth. That wealth was not being disseminated enough to the regular folks to support the very businesses which produced the wealth. I cannot believe that this would be the second time we've learned that lesson.

The Core Realization: A default economy isn't about restricting business; it's about de-risking human existence so that the market can innovate at breakneck speed without causing a societal collapse. The exact same thing we used FDR for in taming unregulated industrialization.

This time, mark my word, it must be about, direct support for the people. Sovereign Wealth Fund Universal Basic Income Unconditional Basic Income I call it simply the automation of money

First think of the concept... Legitimacy crisis or who has power? Then, think of... Economic divergence Now, that you've got a personalized definition for both concepts I bet you can blend these two concepts together. That's now. That's where we're at. Obama would know what to do.

So, yeah... God is a deadbeat dad and the universe is a long, cool woman in a black dress

It's going to get worse and worse. Grifters are gonna keep grifting. Just say that you're not going to give another dime to the crime syndicate in DC. Blue City-States of America 💙👍💙

Blue states and counties pick up the tab when the federal government refuses to fund certain social services anymore. Is that the basic dynamic going forward?

Walking around homeless in LA during COVID has got to be one of the most terrifying experiences one could ever go through. People aren't homeless because they're mentally ill. People are mentally ill because they are homeless.

So, I'm in favor of UBI not just as an upheaval prevention strategy, but also as a way to help make things more tolerable.

Give me a reason to believe in this country. What Trump is talking about is an America where businesses exist in the same geography and nothing else matters. People are resources. Once you've outlived your usefulness, it's over. Why?

Everything that Trump has done is cannon fodder for the DNC keynote speaker in 2028. Whoever that person is will put everything in perspective. It will have to be, in order to preserve the sanctity of American identity, one of the greatest speeches ever made.

In the future, urban areas are connected to some global high-speed rail. So, an amalgamation of all ethnicities into one cultural and genetic identity...the global network of blue city-states. The network is assumed and defined when we implement the global rail system.

The SAVE Act will dissolve the Union. That's all there is to it.

Most don't look so harshly upon my use of cannabis when they see that I am using it for intellectual butterfly catching or my latest version of poetry as a concept. Recreational? Not so much. They tend to not talk after that. I live in Tucson. Instant prophet. Just add weed.

But Bernie is not taken seriously by the Democratic party establishment. He doesn't have that special corporate glow. I hope we can get Graham Platner elected. That would be phenomenal. I think he'll win. If he focuses on economic issues.

The left is not "deafeningly silent". FFS even Bernie Sanders has been fighting FOR UBI for years now!

I be you and YOU-BE-I UBI Make American citizenship mean something.

Cults possess one fundamental characteristic in common. Zero tolerance for any other ideas. They build fences to keep all other ideas out. Yet, faith is not that. Faith is believing that you have the truth and you entertain those who have other ideas.

Civilization is the honeycomb we raindrops are building over time. By default, we are NOT inherently a virus to the planet. We simply CHOOSE to be a virus.

Isn't it when too much dirt accrues in a raindrop, that's when it falls from the cloud? So now, we're falling with the gravity of time towards the ground of our certain death. So, we are returning the dirt to the ground. Then, we evaporate back up into the cloud. No God needed. Just nature.

Before Buddhism arrived, Japan had thousands of unorganized, local nature-worship practices. To distinguish them, they named it Shinto ("Way of the Gods"). Instead of fighting foreign philosophy, they intermarried. The modern result? A cultural hybrid: "Born Shinto, die Buddhist." (3/5)

"Researchers looked at 50 years of twin studies covering more than 14.5 million twin pairs across 17,804 separate traits. The grand average for heritability across all human traits came out to exactly 49% genetic (nature) and 51% environmental (nurture)."

It's all bass-ackwards. In a world of eight billion people, we should financially punish people for having children. The Earth is running out of resources.

All this prejudice against people who smoke cannabis has gotta stop. It's gotta stop. There's no reason for it.

Pieces of blue paint are floating around in the Reflection Pool. What a fucking moron.

So, really our superpower would be to instantly access all memories that have gone into our brain. Like AI. Human AI. That's our superpower.

If Epstein blackmailed Israel's enemies, then Israel HAS to have files of their own, right?

Shouldn't Bibi have released the files by now? I mean, I don't know what politician in the Knesset would support Iran even having ballistic missiles.

Is there ANYTHING that Speaker Johnson doesn't agree with Trump on? Or is his head squarely up Trump's ass!

Let the heat out to other countries, but always treat the locals with respect and if we're causing heat in the places where the locals dwell, it's not a fair deal. A visitor tax should be expected. But simply a deduction from your monthly UBI. I never had to pay more than $200 rent in Vietnam.

The Service Economy was the biggest blizzard of bullshit we have ever seen. Tipped employees should make the same wages as other employees. There are people doing a lot less for a lot more. If you can't pay your employees a living wage and decent benefits, maybe you shouldn't be in business?

Aristotle said that we are political animals. So why shouldn't we be like other animals and have unique habits and features?

Reagan didn't know much about anything either. He delegated all that decision making to experts and policy advisors. He was just concerned about image. Just like Trump. I'm not impressed with all the focus on Trump falling asleep and his health. Trump is just a billboard for the right.

If there is no right to repair, then there is no ownership. You're just leasing a vehicle.

Without a doubt, we will all know who will win in 2028 when we see who gets elected in November, 2026. The comet returns soon.

The GOP wouldn't know exactly how to deal with a soccer mom. You get a soccer mom on you, and you've had it! It will be the realism she would bring to the dialogue. It should be expected, however, if grocery prices go up. You mesa with grocery prices, you're going to see mad mamas.

from tangible, immediate corporate necessity: businesses spending heavily on data infrastructure, countries securing their energy grids, and everyday consumers buying the essentials Those companies are having a good time. Let's see if they can share.

Ask your favorite AI the following... What companies have experienced the biggest increases in their stock price over the past year? Then... Where are these corporations getting their operational revenue?

You can't argue that you need a ballroom for security if you're inviting 5,000 people on the lawn of the White House for a UFC fight. youtube.com/watch?v=4eJx...

US heads of cattle are at their lowest number in 75 years.

If one generation is to be better than the last, we must raise the floor. Let's say, in a post-Trump world, that countries which do not require our passport are our extended living room. Then, we can arbitrage living costs. With a UBI, it's magic.
