Prayers for your continued recovery and wellness.
It’s been years since I warned of the death jab. My healthy sister died from multiple jabs at age 69. Blessings!

it is worse
the Alien Enemies Act has a provision that removes it from judicial review

this is clearly being ignore by "judges"

If he were alive and doing this material today somebody would jump up on the stage and try to stab him ...like was done with Chappelle.

anyone that helped cover-up biden's crimes, biden's decline, the Russia hoax has ZERO credibility ON ANY "scandal" that might happen in the Trump admin

they simply cannot be trusted with the Truth

Hey Dob...I am waiting for the axe to fall. Read the article about the guy who has discovered how many people got vaxxed and it ruined their health. This will amount to a monumental Class Action suit. Two of my best friends got stung...one is now blind and the other can't stay out of the hospital. You will recall I begged them not to get vaxxed.I am grieving for them. All I do is fall down cont8nuallyl but I am fighting this. Second time I have fractured my pelvis. I now weigh 110 pounds...?nb

👍

I'm certain many booby traps have been laid and are underfoot still. Many security clearances have been revoked. I bet they still have spies in there. How to purge the CIA, FBI when the moles are in on the plans to purge? I guess we have to...something to do with orbit? :D

One of Carlin's notable cheers. Apologies for the crude and crassness. I am not George. Just loved him. Especially The Seven Dirty Words You Can't Say on Television.

The President has the ultimate power to send the US Marshals to the courts and arrest the miscreant judges and transfer them to Guantanamo Bay for Military Tribunals because the issues are FOREIGN and NOT domestic.

It's not even a "Constitutional" emergency.
Executive Branch is the ONLY Branch with Authority to deal with INTERNATIONAL ISSUES!

“…Of this I am convinced: something hard to comprehend is happening as a result of the exponential acceleration of computing power and its drop in price…”

Actually, I am, egotistically, of the belief that I know precisely what is coming and why but am struggling to organize my thoughts and put them into book form and publish them.

I look forward to reading your review of Kurzweil's book. Your writings are thought-provoking as always.

Thanks, yes, A lot of us can identify with your story (in upper case even).

We start from a mixture of some expertise and much concern, but are brushed aside with disdain.

Yeah, lots and lots of questions, for sure. I am now reading the serious futurist, Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity Is Nearer." Of this I am convinced: something hard to comprehend is happening as a result of the exponential acceleration of computing power and its drop in price. This really can change the world. I am reviewing the book as I read it and can give you a preview of the two major questions I raise about Kurzweil's predictions.

Another review is required to explore my criticisms of the Singularity. So I will mention just two.

When Kurzweil argues in best materialist fashion that if we build a silicon brain of sufficient complexity, then awareness—consciousness—will emerge as it does from our brains. I think attention is needed to the question: Is consciousness possible without life? Life requires values for survival, values generate appetites and desires, which generate goal-directed action, which provide constant evaluative feedback. In the billion or more years life evolved, every step in emergence of mind responded solely to the imperative of survival. Thus every function and action of our brains responds to a single inherent standard: life. What similar unified, universal, motive-and action-generating, inherently evaluative (“good for me?”) standard will be built into the lifeless brain of the silicon “intelligence”? Will it automatically conceive, motivate, regulate, and evaluate its physical and mental behavior? No amount of external programming will give its enormous complexity coherent purposefulness because no life means no values means no feelings or emotions, mean no “stakes”—means no consciousness. As Antonio Damasio encapsulated it: consciousness is “the feeling of what happens.”
My other issue takes to task Kurzweil’s masterful exposition of almost universal improvement, all key trends are good. Yes, in the developed countries (and partially in the rest of the world)—except for the long-term direction of human philosophy. Ideas in the long term decide the fate of civilizations. The philosophy we call “modernity” formed during the Age of Enlightenment (essentially the eighteenth century): reason, secularism, science and technology, individualism, rational egoism, human universalism, natural rights, constitutionally limited government, and capitalism. We still ride on these achievements today in the developed world, particularly the nation born of the Enlightenment, the United States of America. But the philosophical underpinnings of modernism have long been under attack and are sadly in disrepair. Originating chiefly in German Idealism since Immanuel Kant (and disseminating throughout the civilized world), reason, individualism, constitutionalism, and capitalism have been under unrelenting attack. We see the result today in our universities and increasingly in the professions and politics: postmodernism. It is an anti-reason philosophy of radical epistemological skepticism; irrationalism; suspicion of science and technology; antagonism to individualism in the name of “groupism,” “identity politics,” collectivism, and tribalism; statism antagonistic to capitalism; and egalitarianism as against merit. None of these is new. Most originated in the first half of the nineteenth century and led to collectivism (Marxism and national socialism), existentialism, and postmodernism. By now, modernism’s foundations are largely washed away; the superstructure has not fallen and even what is left still works as Kurzweil documents. But, as we know, when the foundations are finally gone and the superstructure is socialism—communistic or fascistic—progress is all over.
Despite these questions, Kurzweil's predictions are compelling. I hope to have the review on Savvy Street soon.

I Looked after you were looking and I liked that look!
Thanks

Carlin was indeed brilliant.
In his later years his shows were a primer on government overreach and corruption.
I think this video was part of his show It's Bad For Ya

Can an infinitely large number of transistors enmeshed in an infinitely large neural network using an infinitely large amount of electricity become the dominant intelligent being on Earth?

It does sound a lot like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, doesn’t it?

Particularly excellent in the Bill & Ted movies.

And people would not seek interpretation vs new legislation to enact laws.

Of course. If you adversely affect the killer T cells you get this. Funny how stuff like this shocks people. We've lost a few good friends to turbo cancer. Add this to what it does to the brain and things are going to get pretty dark...

In a perfect world, the SCOTUS would be able to read, and they would declare all gun limitation laws unconstitutional.

I don't like this ruling either, but Gorsuch's point is not to limit them, only that they must have serial numbers, if the ATF says they do. That is not much of a negative to firearm ownership. I am MUCH more interested in features and magazine limits!

The people should be able to own ANY firearm any law enforcement agency can or does use. That is the simplest proper test. It doesn't allow WMD. It is simple. It is fair. It is right. Gorsuch would support this test. Only the useless totalitarian left and probably Roberts would defend an alternative, which is a completely new interpretation of the 2nd.

This is the key decision SCOTUS needs to rule on ASAP. it Destroys gun control almost entirely!

Very Well done OGC!!!! (I still see Old Guy Carl when I look at the name)

Yesterday I delved into the progress of Tesla Robotics. Personal and industrial service robots.
Will indolence and apathy overtake our species? Will the robotics be programmed to "push" us, that we may keep developing a sound economic/philosophic personal progress?

Gort or Wall e?

This can only minimally affect my life. I am old enough to be secure until my death, and young enough to watch the possible permutations over the next 3 decades.

What will we deem necessary to teach the children?

This in itself is a woopsie.
- The Executive should simply say this is Executive privilege and qualified immunity, destroy all the info, and ignore the judge. The separate "watchdog" group has no standing. That is what any of the demonrat admins would have done (e.g. Hillary). They should have done this already.
- Time for the Admin to start leaking "colored" information and find the moles (from other episodes), and prosecute them for treason.
- My guess is Signal et al, are quite difficult to break.
