The Next Time I Hear .... I'm just Going to Spit

 

Of late, I’ve been lied to, cheated, and swindled. Stocks, bonds, crypto, health, and politics lead the pack. Politicians lead in all categories. For them, it’s downright institutional. Only the lies and corruption are keeping up with inflation – in some caes racing ahead.

Hearing all this, day after day, make me want to spit. There are lots more spitting events. Here’s my short list.

·       The next time I hear we are in a recession (or not in one), I’m going to laugh. We are all hurting, the retired and poor the most.

·       The next time I hear these carrots or those apples are organic, when there is no verification (impossible BTW), I’m going to spit.

·       The next time I hear China is our friend, I’m going to grind my teeth. The Chinese are total snobs about everyone else – always have been.

·       The next time I hear BITCOIN is going way up, I’m going to groan.

·       The next time I hear inflation is good, I’m going to gag.

·       The next time I hear this or that insurance company will save me $652, I’m going to puke.

·       The next time I hear someone on TV say they are a fiduciary, and therefore to trust them, I’m going to spit.

·       The next time I hear a TV psychologist tell me how to live, I’m going to fart.

·       The next time the FED tells me that the economy is in good shape, I’m going to grunt.

·       The next time I hear Trump tell me how great he is, I’m going to spit. And

·       The next time I hear Biden tell me how great he’s doing, I’m going to spit.

·       The next time I hear Climate is the world's most important concern, I’m going to convulse.

·       The next time I hear a politician tell the truth, I’m going to faint.

Superpowers want to rein in Globalists*; Globalists want to control Governments; Governments want to manipulate the People. All take a generous cut of the action. Spit, spit, spit, and more spit.

*i.e. Billionaires.

Human Simulation is Possible - by Humans

  Human Simulation: Agent-Based Modeling and the Computational Case for Our Reality   1.       Introduction In the essay, we introduce the notion that humanity could be a deliberate simulation based on an extremely simple single-celled organism, hardly anything more complex than that. This will allow an (apparently) new interpretation of the notion that humanity is simulated, but that there is no master engineer at a massive number of dials and switches, responsible for every twist and turn of our universe and lives. We begin with the notion that the universe exists and operates under its own laws. So, given the Earth [2] , when and where life first began, it was infused with a living agent, self-actualized, reproductive, and with other basic rules for its operations, interactions, and much of what single-celled organisms do today. The idea from this occurred some years back when writing code in ActionScript (formerly Flash), I was able to create...

Where is AI (Artificial Intelligence) Going?

  How to view Artificial Intelligence (AI).  Imagine you go to the store to buy a TV, but all they have are 1950s models, black and white, circular screens, picture rolls, and picture imperfect, no remote. You’d say no thanks. Back in the day, they sold wildly. The TV was a must-have for everyone with $250 to spend* (about $3000 today). Compared to where AI is today, this is more or less where TVs were 70 years ago. In only a few decades AI will be advanced beyond comprehension, just like TVs today are from the 50s viewpoint. Just like we could not imagine where the video concept was going back then, we cannot really imagine where AI is going. Buckle up. But it will be spectacular.    *Back then minimum wage was $0.75/hr. Thus, a TV cost more than eight weeks' wages. ------------------------- 

Infinity of Theories

I do love the Stock Markets, all of them.   Why?   Because of the abundance of theories.    Every day, no matter how the market moves there are dozens of pundits offering forth their theory as to why it went down – or up, where it’s going tomorrow or next week, and why it must crash soon or maybe elevate another couple thousand more points.   Ok, this is fine.   But the next day these same folks may expound theories postulating the opposite.   This proves market pundits have no essential understanding of economics as related to the market.   This proves pundits prefer expedience to understanding.   I am constantly besieged by brokerage firms telling me if I would only invest a million, they would help me reach my goals.   If I had this information, how to make a lot of money, I would borrow every cent I could and apply it to making a bunch of money.   I’d not tell a soul. So, why are they trying to help me?   Well, ...
