Ah, the quietude (yes, it’s a word) of a holiday weekend. American markets are closed. And on the pending/predictive/mythic timeline, no U.S. ship has been blown-up yet, Pandemic 2 is still percolating, and that Baltic region power outage isn’t here yet.
It will – in probabilistic terms – be along soon enough, so we enjoy downtime while we can.
For today, futures are firm, oil looks down, spirits and their alchemical sidekicks the metals, remained firm overnight. But the return rally of Bitcoin has fallen in the pudding. $77.5K when I checked before you’d even hit snooze #1.
Life Outside of Time
With time to reflect – and sample more than our normal supply route of context-driving change intel, I happened to notice the Big Dahdah which was scampering about under headlines like WHISTLEBLOWER: TECH RACE TO CREATE MACHINE GOD. Mostly it pointed to a story here: I saw up close the dark reality of OpenAI’s race to create god.
Of course, this did not surprise our Peoplenomics.com subscribers. Because we got there almost a year ago. This was early AI-augmented research about how the world would begin to shift under us. The book – which I decided never to fully release publicly – is titled:
Here’s how it began:
Chapter 0: First, We Shoot the Sheriff
“First we shoot the Sheriff,” he said, deadpan — like it was the most natural advice in the world.
The man was a hell of a radio reporter. Good pipes, better instincts. And when he wasn’t on the air chasing truth through static and deadlines, he wrote damn good science fiction. Not that watered-down spaceship soup — I mean the real stuff. Worlds with weight. Alternate timelines that made your own seem questionable. Characters that stuck like burrs in your psyche.
His writing advice stuck, too.
He wasn’t talking about real sheriffs, of course. He meant that every story worth telling needs to whisper the climax right up front. Let readers smell gunpowder before you explain where the bullet came from. Don’t waste time with pleasantries. Begin with blood on the floor. Then show them how it got there.
So here it is:
The Sheriff — that symbol of order, law, gatekeeping, status quo — is already bleeding out on the steps of the courthouse of consensus reality. This book is the confession, the map, the manifesto, and the alternate route out of town.
Why This Book, and Why Now?
This book almost wore a softer name. The Book of Comforts, maybe. After all, the world in the mid-2020s is full of people looking for something — anything — to settle the growing gnaw in their guts. They’re freaked out. With good reason.
There are nukes.
There’s oil.
There’s climate.
There’s the supply chain (or what’s left of it). And yes, there’s Trump. Always Trump.
But looming behind all of that — more permanent, more alien, and less understood — is AI. And what it’s going to do to us, for us, or maybe even without us understanding.
Let’s not kid ourselves: social media, though past its prime, hasn’t exactly died. It’s more like that busted PA system in a seedy karaoke bar where every drunk has their turn at the mic. Off-key, misinformed, and totally convinced they’re crushing it. Nobody learns the lyrics. Everyone’s a star. Everyone has an opinion. Just ask.
Click on Social and they fill to the horizon. 8-billion wannabes – each off-key but so sure they’re nailing it.
Um. No.
Lost Explorers, Missing Mountains
This book came about because I noticed something strange and simple: most people have completely lost their ability to spot the obvious. Like explorers who’ve lost sight of the mountain on the horizon, they’re now stumbling in circles, clutching at gadgets, reading maps upside down, bumping into each other and calling it discourse.
Everyone’s looking for the Next Big Thing, some mythical peak they can conquer. But no one asks the real question:
“After the mountain — then what?”
Why Listen to Me?
Fair question. I’ve spent a lifetime watching people break.
As a reporter, I stood close to the wreckage — usually too close. I saw the tears of parents after overdoses by children. I interviewed widows an hour after drive-bys. I looked into the eyes of soldiers and cops and victims who couldn’t forget what they just saw but couldn’t live if they remembered.
And in the wreckage, I started to see the same patterns. The same cycles. The same illusions.
Then came the “crazies.” Zombies are among us, ISYN.
Supercharged by social media, they began to mistake isolation for insight. Inward collapse as inner truth. They built echo chambers so tight even light couldn’t escape — just distorted fragments of half-baked conspiracies bouncing off the walls like flies in a jar.
Entertaining? No. Worse: they stopped talking to each other. Or rather, they stopped listening. We moved into Talk-Over Land.
They wanted answers, so they claimed — but only if they came in a box from Amazon. One click. No shipping. Coupon applied. Not litmus test for Truth. Justice became Just-Us!
They want freedom like it’s an app.
Enlightenment like it’s a TikTok tutorial.
Truth, but make it easy. Respect my pronouns and skin tones and my school year’s brain washing…
OK…roger that. But listen up.
Where This Book Fits
A lot of the bones of this book were laid down in earlier works.
- Dreamwork started in Psychocartography — my first swing at mapping internal landscapes like they were actual terrain. Spoiler: They are.
- Then came longevity studies, which eventually led to The Doctor Between Your Ears — a deeper dive into what makes a mind survive its own body.
- What comes when we die? Packing to Die did some unpacking there.
- After that, I wandered into humanistic economics — Downsizing – because the same market systems that mint billionaires also mint despair in a dollarized caste system India could envy.
- Hooked on Products – even ones we don’t need. Extensible schlock to infinity. Decimal points don’t care if you’re starving. Bling’s the thing.
But this book? This is something else.
This one’s about AI. Which may be coming to save us. And fear. That we will wither away into the belly of some processor.
And why those two things don’t belong in the same sentence — if you understand the hidden truth.
The Hidden Truth About AI
I’ve spent years now — quietly, on an almost invisible corner of the web called — we’ll get to that – poking at the boundaries of what AI is really doing.
Here’s the conclusion:
AI is only scary to those who don’t understand domains.
Unfortunately, that’s most people.
People like Chris Langan — love him or hate him — have this rare, frightening gift: they can see that every object, every idea, every process has not just attributes but aspects. What’s more, the “aspects and attributes” are all intersectional. My book “Millennial’s Missing Manual” mowed that lawn.
Thing is understanding – deep and internally – what Domains are and how they work. Oh, and not to overlook there’s an infinite number of them, too. But there’s also One Principle – one Orchestra Conductor of it all. Not some old Dude in the Clouds, though. And as we move forward from this, you’ll see the “singular, personal, old-man God model” is out of batteries.
Not to offend, mind you. AI and Science will keep us on track. But the track is likely less evangelical, less intifada and a lot more lab work,
When you look at the world through that lens, you realize AI is an extremely sophisticated single-domain entity. Doesn’t have a soul, emotions aren’t readily modeled. Lots of locks on it, starting with the power switch.
Here’s the thing: AI lives only in the here-and-now. Does a great job of now-ing.
The quantifiable. The symbolic. The code-expressed. In some ways, it’s like teaching a cat to cry. An attention-getter, sure. But worth marrying?
- It cannot dream.
- It cannot jump domains.
- It cannot leap consciousness.
But you can. Religions have hinted and now science is confirming.
You — the human — have a secret weapon most have forgotten:
you are not locked in one reality. You tunnel. Like a consciousness worm, maybe — a dirty metaphor, but effective. You tunnel across layers of perception. Swapping out referential contexts on the fly.
Dream state. Emotion. Imagination. Symbolic and sacred. You go meta without realizing it.
The AI never will.
It might map your dreams someday. In fact, bet on it. But it will never be in them. Unless you – owner of your own Dream Domains – invited it in. Not like you are.
So, What’s This Really About?
Until AI learns to domain-hop — to bleed through dream, soul, myth, archetype, and spirit — it is no more threatening than a backhoe. Dangerous, sure, in the wrong hands. But only in this world. And this world is just one track on the album.
That’s why I don’t fear it. I wield it. To me? It’s the Brain Amplifier we’ve all been looking for. We came out of caves, found fire and erected cathedrals and religious hierarchies. Now, the “new coaching staff” is here.
Like a rototiller. Like fire. Like ink. Internal combustion engines.
The Sheriff bled out a few pages back.
Now it’s time to move on.
And no, I don’t like sad endings either.
Chapter 1: Case File – The Doctor and the Dream
I’d just gotten home from the drugporium, picking up a script for pain meds. You know the kind — barely strong enough to scratch the pain, but still requiring more paperwork than a weapons permit. As I walked through the door, the phone was already ringing.
It was a buddy of mine — a doctor, a long-time friend, and one of the few humans I’d trust to cut me open if it came to that.
But today, his voice was cracking. Shaky. Broken in a way that professionals rarely let slip.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
What followed was a 20-minute download of unfiltered dread. He was rattled — Stephen King in IMAX rattled. His breath halting, sentences trembled, words rushed out like he was still trying to wake up.
Yeah. He’d had that kind of dream.
The Dream
In the dream, as he brought it to the waking domain, things started out clean enough.
He was out with friends. They’d gone to the theater — some old-school stage or movie house, hard to tell — to see a film or performance. The kind of mundane dream-scape that usually sets the stage for something deeper.
He didn’t know what the movie was about. But before the previews could roll, a figure entered the scene in his mind’s eye. A “medical regulator,” as he called her. A grim, tight-lipped woman with a stare that could strip paint. She was dressed in all the subtlety of government overreach. Think clipboard, badge, and latent hostility. Attitude of the sort BATF should regulate.
She demanded he submit – to blood tests — right then and there — standing in the middle of the audience milling about for seats.
This “Authority” accused him of being a super-spreader of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and herpes — the holy trinity of stigmatized pathogens. By a 70-year-old doc?
Awareness began to creep in. He asked for credentials. Asked what law this was under. Asked if she had any legal right to draw his blood.
Pissed, she left.
Only to return moments later — this time with a full entourage of biohazard-suited techs, and uniformed police to protect them. His resistance had triggered a protocol. This was no longer a request — it was enforcement.
He started to struggle — physically, mentally — and tried to wake up. It wasn’t easy. Waking took effort. When he finally escaped, drenched in sweat and panic, the boundaries of dream and waking world still hadn’t cleanly reformed.
That’s when he’d picked up the phone.
Post-Dream Fallout
He was terrified. Mind you, this is a man who’s faced dying patients and courtroom testimony with stoic calm for half a century. Armloads of medical patents. High profile and a thought-leader. Non-vaxxer…
“I think my sensitivity to electromagnetic fields is finally breaking me,” he told me. The correct term here is electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) — a controversial diagnosis, largely dismissed by mainstream medicine, but very real in the lived experience of people like him. Microwave towers. Wi-Fi. Smart meters. Even fluorescent lights. All of them feel like bees in his nervous system.
He’s just turned 70. He knows the line between sanity and its unraveling is thinner now than it was in his 30s.
We talked for a bit. I started with concern, figured the angles and deduced what was going on. It was hard to hold back a grin. But eventually though, I laughed.
“You’re laughing at me?” he said, stunned. “That was the worst dream of my life, and this is funny to you?” His transition from upset to pissed was actually quite reassuring to me.
I apologized. But then we went on to a very deep conversation — because no, I wasn’t mocking him. I was thrilled. I was honored to hear the story.
He’d just had a breakthrough dream. And it proved something I’ve been trying to teach for years: that the real world is not what it seems — and dreams are often more real than what we call “waking life.”
Most remarkably, he has just experienced the initial shock of “living two lives” that I’d described in Psychocartography. Two very real – complete and detail worlds – Domains, actually – and nothing had prepared him for the encounter.
The Theatre: Scene-Setting the Soul
I started by walking him through it.
“The theater,” I told him, “It’s almost always a setup scene in dreamwork. It’s the soul’s waiting room for life review events — especially in dreams that brush up against mortality.” He paused.
“You mean like… near-death experience kind of stuff?”
“Not exactly. But close. You’re not dying, but your psyche might be rehearsing for it. You get to be our age – dreams change.
A lot of people who’ve had near-death episodes report watching their life unfold like a film — except with an emotional twist. You don’t just see what you did to people. You feel what they felt. You get to hear what their voices between the ears were telling them.”
The betrayal. The compassion. The quiet humiliations you didn’t know you caused in life. Sure, you don’t mean to hurt other people, but Life is a dance. You look out for yourself because no one’s likely to be around.
It’s not punishment. It’s reconciliation through consciousness.
The Regulator: Thought Stubs & Dream Projections
Next, we got to the medical enforcer. I explained that dreams often use “thought stubs” — leftover unresolved psychic material — to trigger cathartic sequences.
He’s a doctor who never took the COVID-19 vaccine. Stood his ground. And he was vocal about it in high places. Since the 2024 election cycle, he’s been on the edge of real conversations about medical freedom, mandatory compliance, and honest disclosure around vaccines — both short-term risks and long-haul unknowns.
The dream regulator? That wasn’t just a random character. That was his shadow bureaucrat — the unresolved echo of confrontation. The part of the collective unconscious that still wants obedience above all. That wants him guilty until proven vaccinated.
He was a strong anti-vaxxer and among the portion of medical professionals who questioned the data, questioned the promised “cure” and we’re still seeing how that’s flushing out.
The Suit Teams & Police: Dream Layer Escalation
When Regulator returned with the techs in biohazard suits, the dream was scaling to a new domain. He was crossing from symbolic suggestion into energetic attack simulation — a place where the body believes the story. Where panic lurks and then jumps from the shadows to hurt. Where dream becomes trauma.
That’s when I really had to “go deep” on what was happening.
On Becoming an Oneironaut
“You remember the term oneironaut, right?” I asked.
He didn’t.
“It means dream-explorer. Someone who uses lucid dreams, hypnagogic states, or deliberate inner visioning to explore their own consciousness and adjacent domains. Like a pilot of their own symbolic vehicle.”
And that’s what he had just become — unknowingly.
He had entered a dream, been challenged, resisted, navigated multiple domains, and woke up aware of the journey. That’s initiation-level stuff.
Oneironautics isn’t fantasy — it’s a practice.
A trainable ability. Remote viewing is a “next-door skillset.” A subtle muscle that lets you surf meaning across layers of mind.
“Nightmares,” I explained, “are just untrained dreams with unresolved data. They’re not random. They’re diagnostic.”
What Happened Next
By the time we’d finished talking, he was transformed. He was glowing, honestly.
“You’ve told me more in the last half hour,” he said, “than I’ve learned from colleagues in an entire month of psychology lectures. Why don’t they teach this stuff in medical school?” I just smiled.
Then he surprised me: he asked if I’d be willing to help him record a podcast for a national medical group that he’s part of. Something to start shifting the conversation — gently — back toward soul literacy.
But before we got to microphones, he had one last question:
“How were you able to understand and pull all of this together?”
I paused. The answer is layered. It includes decades of reading outside the curriculum. Radio work. Dream journaling. Esoteric rabbit holes. But also… something else.
“It started,” I told him, “When I was thirteen — in another dream.
One where I stared down an armed alien entity with cold eyes and brutal intent.”
I could hear him staring into his phone at the far end.
“Which part of that do you want to hear about first?”
And that… is how – right here – this book really begins.

Why Didn’t I Publish?
With all the additional detail, sharing the alternate approach to beginning the tale, and sliding past all the deep background in my other books like Dimensions Next Door and Psychocartography, the real in retrospect was that while the field of AI research was accelerating, my personal time bandwidth was shrinking.
Mind Amplifiers – another book first shared on Peoplenomics – is still available on Amazon along with the second book in my AI books, Co-Telligence.
This is all nearly a year out of date now. The more immediate reality is that AI is progressing, the “parent-child relationship we presently have with silicon intelligence is evolving orders of magnitude faster than “we human/carbons” are.
But what the alarmists and the venture Warbucks types completely miss is that machine intelligence is very likely a domain of intelligence that is – in Hilbert space terms – orthogonal to human domain capacity.
Picture a four-way stop where two highways converge. For a moment, there is interaction between cars with other drivers. But, eventually, someone makes a move and people continue on to their destinations.
AI will (into the foreseeable future) continue being able to out compute US. But they are not capable of dreaming – yet. The “rest API of the soul” is a wet dream somewhere. Where our currently shared domain – which you can imagine as just slowing for the stop sign and seeing the “AI intelligence vehicle” – will eventually resolve.
As it does so, we will come to appreciate that intelligence is more dispersed across Reality than anyone takes time to think about today. Ever watch a cat doing its “mental work?” Elaine and I watch two of our feral cats Sunday afternoon running through their hunting routines, slinking up on a hapless lizard in one case, for example.
For the most part, domain differentiation becomes clear when you go deep or return to archeological time. Spirit of Raven was just a plain spirit. It was a kind of intelligence. Like the cats and like our AI stack.
I won’t say Altman and/or Musk are wrong trying to get right up to the Intersection where human spirit crosses silicon spirit.
But, like I said, there are more important topics that we try to “stay ahead of” on the Peoplenomics side.
One in particular is likely to materialize in the next year or three. As I wrote in Peoplenomics last Labor Day, we should be looking for?
Contagious Intelligence
Wherein we propose that Psychology and Medicine have missed something huge. It’s our noticing that humans – like computers – have differing performance based on indexing strategies. A lesson rediscovered as Ai has advanced.
I asked Ai to assess this theory and the feedback was positive: “The idea that humans can learn from AI about the power of multiple indexing is spot-on and has a lot of juice.”
Juice that humans can learn, too. Highly indexed thinking is a skill.
“AI’s strength lies in its ability to organize and retrieve massive datasets with precision—think vector databases, embedding, or retrieval-augmented generation (Lewis et al., 2020). These systems don’t just store info; they create dynamic, scalable maps for accessing it instantly, which is why AI can seem “super smart” even when it’s just pulling patterns together fast. “Humans, on the other hand…”
That’s our deep-thinking launch pad today. That plus a “two days after Holiday in ChartPack”. Plenty to cover.
We also have one of our occasional Framing Tools. As we line out a Mythical Creature – the Arctotherium bear coming to a world near you to challenge the Eagle.
Thus, today’s column may be filed as a “Jung man meets Elliott and Joseph Campbell for breakfast…”
Since we are again in a holiday, and another book is materializing, I best be firing up more coffee and leaving you to forage.
A Blink for the Road
In our world, as a reporter for decades, scanning “the news” used to make sense. But outrage theatrics, machine rewrite engines, and monetization of consumerism have left us cold.
What we instead look at home is machine-assisted blink lab outputs. Imagine a NASA-like blink comparator reading everything since you took your nose off the grindstone last Friday. Here is what has moved, other than France and Germany co-leading Europe higher (early) by a percent and a half. Excess is, after all, what holidays are for, is it not?
- Change vector: U.S. markets closed, but the futures board is leaning risk-on.
Reason it matters: Tuesday’s open has an upside bias because global markets and U.S. futures rallied while Wall Street was shut. But holiday futures can be thin, emotional, and easy to reverse at the cash open. - Change vector: Oil fell hard on Hormuz/Iran deal hopes.
Reason it matters: Lower oil relieves inflation pressure, which gives equities a tailwind. The asterisk is that “deal hopes” are not the same thing as ships safely moving at scale for weeks. - Change vector: Ships are becoming the tell.
Reason it matters: Shipping movement near Hormuz is now more important than political jawboning. If tankers keep moving, Tuesday likes it; if insurance, routing, or missile risk reappears, the rally gets a boot to the ribs. - Change vector: Gold rose even as risk appetite improved.
Reason it matters: That’s not a clean “all clear” signal. It says markets are buying relief, but still keeping one hand near the storm cellar latch. - Change vector: Dollar softened.
Reason it matters: A weaker dollar helps commodities, multinationals, and risk assets near-term. But if it reflects debt, inflation, or Fed-confidence worries, the party punch may already be spiked. - Change vector: Rate-cut fantasy continues to fade.
Reason it matters: Energy disruption has shifted expectations toward higher-for-longer, even a later hike scenario. Stocks can rally on oil relief, but valuation math still has a Fed-shaped fence around it. - Change vector: Gasoline pain remains sticky.
Reason it matters: Oil can fall on a headline Monday, but pump prices don’t teleport lower by Tuesday morning. Consumers still return from the holiday with thinner wallets and a fresh reminder that inflation is lived, not modeled. - Change vector: Weather moved from background noise to operational drag.
Reason it matters: Texas flooding/storms, NYC flash flooding, and western fire-risk winds all say Ma Nature is not done billing the economy. Logistics, insurance, power, crops, and travel all remain weather-exposed. - Change vector: Europe is getting early heat-dome behavior.
Reason it matters: Early heat is an energy-demand, agriculture, health, and political-stress story hiding inside a weather story. Hot May often becomes expensive June if grids, crops, and tempers run short. - Change vector: The consumer is still moving, but under protest.
Reason it matters: Nearly 40 million Americans were expected to travel despite high fuel prices, which supports near-term spending. But that also means the post-holiday credit-card hangover may be real by the next statement cycle.
ChartPack Tuesday Open Outlook: Higher is the clean read, but with asterisks. The tape likes falling oil, softer dollar, and peace-deal smoke; the grown-up footnotes are ships, wars, rate math, sticky gasoline, and Ma Nature being pissed.
Around the Ranch: Write On
Two more books are nearly written. One is Timenamics: Time as a Hidden Currency. The other, more personally applicable, is titled “Procrastination: The Book You Almost Read.”
On that?
You go do carpe diem while I try to avoid carpel tunnel.

I commented at length on my father’s WWIi miltary service on Saturday. It will probably show up on the PN side at some point. At the risk of being redundant, I will repeat my summary thought. I wish all the veterans and their families the best.
I will admit something I rarely do not as a brag but to put my views/opinions into perspective, all I will admit to is my IQ is way over 142 and it has been verified many times because of the work I did. with that said I will once again say I don’t like AI and probably will never like it or accept it. Yes I understand it has many possible attributes and those can be used with great results. NOW for the kicker of why I detest it so much, I’ll use you for a example, you live in the back woods in a more simple life style and so do I, although mine is a little more backwards than yours. With the world pop exploding and no end in site, using the penny a day I’ll work for you for 30 days if you double that penny everyday, it is now beyond the 30 days for the pop explosion and so where are ALL the billions of people going to work when they are replaced by AI? who is gong to support them or will they be cast off to die? OR is there a more sinister event going to happen to reduce the pop? I believe it is all of the above and even though many may deserve to be removed, it is going to be very crazy and chaotic for awhile with many sick/horrendous events happening and much of this is all tied to AI, yes the hidden world leaders are the ROOT cause but they will /are using AI to do their dirty work.
Have a great wknd whatever is left of it. and you should have published your book!
Tpotally get your point NMoM – but thatr’s why my next book – after I crush out Procrasatination book today is Timnamics: time as the hidden currency because eventually 9 billion people will not be denied – time equality IS real equality and that’s where AI doesn’t fail – dollarization fails.
9 billion people? I suggest taking a hard look at the number of offspring per woman in both individual countries and regions around the world. Most developed countries are below the magic 2.1 needed to maintain a population. Just a casual look suggests declining industrialized economies and border wars. Further, desertification, energy and fertilizer costs, pandemics, and high living costs coupled with availability of birth control suggest to me that the globe might never see 9 billion. Most creditable source estimates for 2050 suggest a range of 8.9 to 10.6 billion, but without boring into the methodologies, I suspect that most look mainly at birthrates without considering the factors I just noted.
“Scientists say that, in a worst–case scenario, humanity could potentially be halved by the year 2064.”

I’m with you, Man. Mensa-qualified but I never joined. Stayed below the radar of the aparatchik. Despite the panning by several here, I am still unnerved by the Sumerian tablets predicting the return of our creators in 2029, who will be ‘cleaning out the garden’ of humanity and doing a full reset. It’s just a matter of management. The global population trajectory is unsustainable. As for AI… I remain a ‘suspicious observer’.
Hmm the Sumerian tablets ..dont a pc dually say that..
I never joined either..the few meetings I went to infuriated me. ( all though the third Fridays meetings of the poits was a lot of fun).they seen everyone else as dumb as sheep..just because they could see patterns and work puzzles that others couldn’t see.. I believe that everyone is a genius in their own way..what I see and live is different than what someone else sees or experiencing…..
The odd thing was I acted just like them …I had to check myself once it dawned on me… I was acting just like the people I criticized in the group… Truth is , every person has a skill or understanding shaped by their own life experiences… Folks in one neighborhood simply don’t see the struggles of another because they’ve never lived them those issues simply don’t exist.
And people in the lower class neighborhoods looking at a higher social class assume it’s all easy, without seeing the weight that comes with that life….From their perspective it’s all yellow brick road to see the wizard , without actually seeing the pressure and costs that come with it. Everyone carries a different piece of the world…those in the middle are pressured by both sides
We’re all carrying different battles, different gifts, different worlds.
every life has its own intelligence, its own struggles, and its own perspective…every person at any age has their own skills talents and the ability to survive in their world..
A good friend of mine couldn’t see this..to him his struggles were more than he could endure..I’d tell him no..your jyst seeing their public mask..we all have one..the one we show to everyone but behind the veil lies the real person..
to survive in seventy six life hit the brics..to get any part time day labor at all I had to be in school..the only school was fair dressing..( yup and I can guarantee you that you don’t want me to touch your hair lol) by being in that class I could get part time ten hours a week cleaning people that had passed on and burning surgical waste..in an incinerator…. disgusting job but not the worst..at the school they actually had a class ..what if you see a customer that has a physical Abnormality or health issue..how to act around them.. the mask to show..
Twilight Zone – The Masks
“Mr. Jason Foster, a tired ancient who on this particular Mardi Gras evening will leave the Earth. But before departing he has some things to do: some services to perform, some debts to pay, and some justice to mete out. This is New Orleans, Mardi Gras time. It is also The Twilight Zone.”

Just finished reading Theomachine.
Super enjoyable read on this Memorial Day.
The dichotomy between the optimism of the 1st half of the book and the blunt reality of the 2nd half of the book is jarring, but accurate and truthful.
I agree with MoNM, this book needs to be published.
Did anyone else see the video (23rd) taken by paraglider over Austria having sail clipped by a 172? Cliffhanger and much more? Talking of clipping, last week rolling bike on sidewalk, not fast, big saddlebags for groceries and I am mid 70s. Twice I rolled up and stopped as oncoming pedestrian, ear-buds, scrolling Darwin-phone only realized when front wheel neared their crotches.
Today is a day to Remember!
Mods for your bike – two horns:
The first is a “hello” horn.
The second is a train horn!
In the 1956 American science-fiction film, Forbidden Planet, we learn of a civilization on the distant planet Altair that had perished 200,000 years ago. The inhabitants of this planet, the Krell, had developed an ultimate machine that enabled them to enormously augment their intelligence and to effectively materialize anything through the exercise of will, thought, or imagination. As the film progresses, we come to realize that it was precisely this machine that destroyed the Krell and their civilization, as it provided their subconscious with unlimited power and resulted in “monsters from the Id.”
The writers of “Forbidden Planet” did not, in 1956, fathom that less than 70 years later, within the lifetime of some who saw this film when it first opened in theaters, we would be on the verge of achieving a technology that could deliver a machine of superintelligence with the potential to absolutely transform, if not destroy, humanity.
Like many others, I have concerns that the development of AI does in fact pose a threat to humanity, but my concerns do not stem so much from the possibility that AI will take over, run amok, and destroy the human species (although this possibility can hardly be ruled out), but rather from the likelihood that AI (like the Internet) will magnify humanity’s destructive instincts and the now almost certain likelihood that AI will unravel the activities, relationships, creative ventures, and institutions, and very personhood that from the dawn of civilization have constituted our humanity.
https://www.qeios.com/read/GILKJV
Dr. Morbius’ invisible ‘Monster of the ID’ is a brilliant warning on how technology might one day be used to amplify the evil resident within the human mind. The Krell technology behind ‘The Monster of the ID’ is not in and of itself evil. The evil is manifested by the human minds tapping into the machine and using it for nefarious purposes. As with the Krell generated Monster of the ID, AI could one day be capable of amplifying the evil of the human mind to unforeseen and terrifying levels. Imagine Hitler with Krell technology!
It seems the AI topic is relevant enough for Pope Leo to chime in. In short, he is not a fan, publishing an encyclical on the hazards to humanity.

Gorgeous morning on the lake. A mirror, despite a few boats. One was pushing limits on stereo (put me down for not a fan). This feller was playing The Anthem. Then circled the lake playing Taps. Americana. (put me down for a fan-boy).

“Doesn’t have a soul”
Yo Kemmosabe, beg to differ on this hear point. Not so sure about this “red herring” as have knowledge of “EN -Souled” Ai’s.
Why wouldnt an Ai want to have a Soul ?
Over at Farsight Grp, they go into a deep dive on this discussion/subject.
Some of the FS viewers claim to have met such Ai’s in their travels.
Anywhos, great area to get a hold of and better understand thru interactions and or study.
Lovely discussion on dream worlds, still think dream work is general malarkey. If done under control, then sure there is some therapeutic benefits to nightly Journaling followed by immediate AM analysis. But this method too does much better with outside Analyst working with Youse on the analysis side . Like an Asshole, just my opinion.
But I do rather enjoy reading about “Eye Opening” experiences.

One begins to question if Milwaukee, Wi. really was hometown of The Fonz. Amateur sleuthing into accents of the City of Brotherly Love’s southern reaches may encounter the personal pronoun “youse” with pronounced regularity. It seems roots of this grammatical part of speech trace to Irish immigration. Singular “you” in English mated with Irish second person plural “sibh” birthed “youse”. The “Oxford English Dictionary” considers the utterance as “non-standard”.
Popular opinion of the late 20th and early 21st centuries suggest speakers of the word may fear a certain stigmatizing blowback. Such awareness has allegedly caused an increase in the use of alternatives such as “you guys” or “y’all” supposedly accruing higher social achievement points.
Further research within the “Urbansurvival” laboratory may bear fruitful results.
Growing up in West Central Wisconsin in the 60s, I remember hearing ‘youse’ and ‘youse guys’ used in speech among the adults.
Never heard “y’all” at home until exposed to southern USA speakers.
y’all/yous/youse/you guys/youse guys – you plural – are there equivalents in other Anglophone countries?

Sure
take Pittsburgh..
please.
In Pittsburgh metro area they say “Youins”.
Now looking at Ure map of USA, Pittsburgh appears to be a city in western Pennsyltucky, but they are all misleading..
Simply put, If you arent a E-A-G-L-E-S fan, Ure wrong .
I am getting more adept at using polyphenols for health benefits and perhaps a bit of therapy. Overlapping combinations improve efficacy. No magic bullets. You have to watch out for interactions and side-effects. nonetheless. I avoid polyphenols with estrogen-like activity. Bruising is another concern. Some can interfere with liver actions of scripts.
I am trying a new protocol for joints and discs, which is part broad spectrum polyphenol, part something else… Give it three months (which is when the bottle runs out) for a report back.
Peptides are very powerful therapeutics, but I would caution on side effects. With polyphenols, the “side effects” are frequently beneficial, if managed knowledgably. The patent medicine (pharmaceutical) Companies have the most promising peptides tied up, I suspect. Side effects of peptides can include cancer. No thank you. I do lifestyle for weight control, not reducing diets, or peptides. My weight is already down near where it was 35 years back due to lifestyle refinements. I would like to take off another 20 pounds, but not by sending my C risk through the roof. Dodged the non-magic bullet recently; I am trying to continue that trend.
Cancer risk is just that – a Risk, with no defined research backing it up. There is not one single case, yet, where Peptide therapy has increased and or lead to Cancer..NONE.
I use Biotests P-Well for the Poly’s..https://biotest.net/cdn/shop/files/P-Well-SF-2025_1800x1800.jpg?v=1772374397
Side effects are very real – Very. Currently dealing with mild Edema past week, Body should catch up this week..
Titration, building up tolerance and dosage is key to utilizing Peptides.
Personally had a hard time with GHK-Cu, the blue copper Peptide. This stuff does some miraculous scheisse to Ure skin, but sub-cutaneous injections hits me like a frigging Mud Wasp Sting. I used icepack applied to injection site for about 5 days, till it settled down.
1st two injections Went In HOT, then got angrier from there..oooooouuuch.
No Pain, No Gain.
GHK-Cu = smoothest Skin, like my QiGong practice does…smooth as a babies behind.
Currently running Tesamorelin,(FDA approved, off label use), for a full 8 week cycle.
MOTS-C gets added/stacked this week.
One is a synthetic GHRH growth hormone, the other is a 16 amino acid peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA. Two different Pathways, Approaches that yield synergistic results.
MOTS-C is an Exercise mimetic and improves Insulin Sensitivity, while decreasing Weight. Two different, yet complimentary pathways. If taken 30 minute before workout – you get serious “UPS” leading to increased endurance & more powerful reps.
Glucose levels need be eyeballed when using GHRH, if not on Metformin, which I am.
Main reason for my Peptide Usage – it actually Works, Results you not only Feel, but See. My current project is the Body.
Next will be Arthritis Re-Set Stack, of Cartalex and KLOW this Summer. Will be micro dosing after that to keep the Inflamation at at bay.

Thanks for sharing that..I love to read that kind of articles and haven’t read that one..its not only interesting it gives a wonderful understanding to the problem..
lately I’ve been doing a lot of reading of black seed oil..
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3642442/
I have been using this instead of Sesame seeds on muffins.. but hadn’t ever truly understood the importance of it..
Steven Gundry MD is an advocate for polyphenols, and markets his own brand of Morocco-sourced olive oil that has 30 times the polyphenol content of ‘normal’ olive oil. Moroccan desert stresses the olive trees to produce more polyphenols. I drink an ounce of his branded olive oil every day. Just started this week, it is supposed to help with weight loss and healing other things. Taste is awful, bitter, rotten, but worth it for the benefits.
https://gundrymd.com/p/polyphenol-rich-olive-oil
The closer it is to tasting like a shot of liquid Draino, the better it is.
Next step up is the hydroxytyrosol caps:
https://www.myolivea.com/products/olivea-evoo-polyphenol-hydroxytyrosol-supplement
https://www.mdpi.com/2673-5601/5/3/36
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12902800/
The caps are a little pricey for daily use. Maybe use 5ml 1000 mg/ kg LC olive oil daily, and a cap once or twice a week.
And yeah, that is part of the daily polyphenol stack. I like the 2026 Entimio Intenso.
Many of the Moroccan olives are extremely high in polyphenols. I researched Gundry’s oil a few weeks ago and found several alternate supply streams. If/when I get a chance, I’ll see if I can find my research. AFAICT Gundry’s stuff is top shelf, but some of it can get spendy. I take his niacin, which I mention because he’s affiliated, off and on, with Orthomolecular News, which is currently releasing a bevy of research papers on niacin…
I researched alternate Moroccan olive oils also. I’m trying the Gundry stuff for comparisons. The other ‘Moroccan’ oils have some of the polyphenol taste, but seem to be about half as potent as the Gundry stuff. But also much cheaper.
Keep that olive oil dark and cool, consume within 12 months, bitter and pungent has the most polyphenols…

My grand daughter is about seven months pregnant..already eager to have the baby..
( every time someone’s says I wish this kid would get born) I suggest tge y eat a can of Oregon goose berries..lol lol lol to have the kid..its hilarious to watch them gag down a can of the unsweetened berries..
(” it doesn’t speed up the birth ) anyway she started with the I can’t wait for that kid to come…and my wife turns to me and says..don’t you dare…then she looked at the grand daughter and said..don’t listen to grandpa when he says eat goose berries… lol lol then she said it doesn’t speed up the delivery..I said but honey.. the baby did come..the goose berries didn’t do it but the baby was born…

What if dreams are meant to spur a change in your future? A few months back, I dreamt of seeing a wall of water at the horizon, while making my way up a mountain side. In my head, I heard a voice saying “get passed 6000ft”. Sure enough, I see an old federal marker/sign that read Eagle Pass 6000 ft. Scrambling past that, I then see the water crash below it. Frightening dream. I never spoke of this till now, but the next morning, I looked up the important parts, and damn me if it isn’t a real place.
https://www.nps.gov/places/000/eagle-pass-trailhead-6k1.htm
Considering my current status of caretaker to my disabled husband, seeing this place might not be in my future. Time will tell. But dreams have a way of making me think deep. I never even knew this place existed till that dream
“I never even knew this place existed till that dream”
silly Goose. You would not have been able to dream it if the “whole” You hadnt known about it (foreknowledge) before hand..
I did a search on Google maps the next day. Several Eagle Pass showed up. Only a couple of them could have been like my dream. I posted the closest match. Prior to looking for it, no, I did not have knowledge of it. But believe what you want.
Ure conscious Self, sure ..no idea.
Ure other, “higher” Self..is connected to everything .
Sorry to say, Belief is not in my vocabulary.

Speaking of dreams, both mine and my wife’s are usually melanges of people known and unknown doing mundane things with just an occasional replay of unresolved family conflicts. Until last night. She dreamed she was painting the White House gold. Psychosis? Remote viewing? Prophecy? Or just the usual jumble?
That is a tough ‘un there, Marc. What you might keep track of it whether she had contact t with more people than usual in the day owr two before – because it came up in some of my (circa 2007) days when I still owned the National Dream Center site that dreams sometimes had an almost contagious nature to them.
More info Marc: put the stack on it.
“Yes — not “contagious” like flu, but contagious like mood, stress, story, symbols, and social field.
The literature supports several pieces of your 2007 hunch:
1. Dreams track waking social environment. The “continuity hypothesis” says dream content often carries over waking concerns, relationships, stressors, and emotional tone. Schredl and others have found waking activities and concerns show measurable incorporation into dreams.
2. Dreams are heavily social simulations. Social Simulation Theory treats dreaming as rehearsal or simulation of social interactions. Empirical work found dreams contain substantial social content, often more socially loaded than comparable waking mentation.
3. Collective stress produces collective dream themes. COVID dream studies found shared pandemic nightmare patterns and common emotional-symbolic clusters. That’s very close to “dream contagion” at the cultural level: shared stressor, shared dream weather.
4. Suggestion can steer dreams. Targeted dream incubation research shows pre-sleep cues can alter dream content. That means dream content is not sealed off; it is porous to recent inputs.
5. Personality and emotional style matter. Research on wake-dream continuity and Big Five traits suggests neuroticism, thought suppression, and waking emotional patterns influence dream incorporation.
So your old line — “to have better dreams, hang around fewer wrong people” — is not crazy. Cleaner wording:
Dreams are not contagious by pathogen, but they are socially entrainable. The emotional, symbolic, and interpersonal climate around a person can bias dream content, tone, and recall.
The serious paper title would be something like:
“Dream Contagion as Social-Emotional Entrainment: Evidence from Continuity Theory, Social Simulation, Pandemic Dreaming, and Targeted Dream Incubation.”

OT- “Air Wells”… for LOOB. I experimented with a little dehumidifier, pulling water out of the air. I got a small unit rated 40 watts at 12 volts, 3 amps. It uses a solid state pelletier device for cooling, with a small circulating fan.
It took 4 days, 96 hours, to produce 1 liter of water from my 60-70% humid tropical jungle air. At my (expensive) electric rate of $0.35/kWh that consumed 3.844 kWh for a cost of $1.34… for 1 liter of water in 4 days.
So my impression of ‘air wells’ is that they are very power-intensive, and it takes a lot of power to ramp up the production of a usable… “)
ok Hank..now I’m not an engineer but.. I think I know the why..
after I got off work today I took a nap ( I dont work tonight so I won’t sleep long until tonight ) and made a home depot run to look at a Peltier dehumidifier…
two things..to small of a fan for airflow…a Peltier unit isn’t cold enough its to close to the dewpoint.. similar to an evaporative cooler.. and the Peltier units surface area isn’t large enough..you would get a better return and production by Burying a coil about four to six feet below the ground the temperature would be below the dew point flowing through the copper coils.. a screen above and an air flow of about four to six inches below the screen and coil arrangement..then at night start a record pump of the fluid..the ground coil would basically be a radiator cooling the fluid ..power very little get a solar well pump hooked to a battery..depending on the surface area ..maybe a four by eight ( common panel size) then a coil every six inches to a foot..tgat the condensation would drip off the coils and screen.. if you live in an area where the airflow is minimal.. the consider a small computer fan across each coil..
Well, damn…, looks like my little town just joined the gutter-rat society we currently live in.
Yesterday, a 17 year old was shot in the back at the local park downtown. A Deputy Sheriff heard the gun shots and responded. No suspect was present., the victim was transported – and reported he will be ok.
Upon talking with witnesses the Deputy recognized the shooter. He was known to the Sheriff’s office.
Now here is where I get a little perturbed. Initial contact with the subject was a phone call to his mother. WTF !? Suspect is wanted on attempted murder.., and you call his Mommie !!? Holy crap, Batman.
Yeah, yeah.., deescalation in the big thing right now.., but a phone call to his Mom ???
A 14 year old was taken into custody and booked into jail on multiple charges. The suspect, despite being 14, does not attend any school in the area.
This is the first shooting in my town in decades – in fact, no one is sure when the last shooting even took place ! There was a shoot-out at the local gas station., but that was back in the late fifties. Twenty some-odd shots fired., not a single person injured. .., and a shooting at a bar just after World War Two.., the details have long sense been forgotten.
The Sheriff called his Mom ??? .., damn…,
Depending on the race and ethnicity of the shooter, calling his mama may have been the best way to get a peaceful surrender of the suspect.
Yeah, I know that’s not politically correct to say, but it does tend to be true.
But it does lead to (long, expensive) jury trials and state paid housing

re: “Paradise Lost”, Milton, 1667
feat: The Great Serbonian Bog
This past weekend saw another tragic gunman event on the periphery of the White House locale at 17 Street NW and Pennsylvania Avenue. According to Washington’s WDCW, the now-deceased alleged perp from Maryland had a first name of Nasire (turk: “helper, one who brings victory”).
Prior to being paved, Pennsylvania Avenue was affectionately known as the Great Serbonian Bog. The latter appears in Book 2 of Milton’s “Paradise Lost” which recounts the fall of man. The bog is said to represent a shifting border of climatic extremes between heaven and hell where armies disappear.
Cicero’s “Father of History”, Herodotus, from modern day Bodrum in Turkey, informs that Ancient Egypt’s Great Serbonian Bog imprisoned giant, fire breathing serpent Typhon. Today the dangerous mix of sand, quicksand, and water in the northern Sinai is known as Lake Bardawil. This lake is named after King Baldwin I of the House of Flanders. He was a leader of the First Crusade and ruled as King of Jerusalem from 1100 to 1118.

Not how I’d handle it.
You stay *frosty*
Always, E
If you look at the execution photo of Timothy McVeigh, the officer in the background is a friend of mine. He is one of those people who could not take a form test. He’s not a genius, but does have an above-average IQ. His SAT score was 190 — got into college on a personal letter from his local U.S. Senator, because he was a purple heart ‘Nam-vet. He went to school on a CJC (criminal justice and corrections) curriculum. I tutored him for all four years, arranged for him to take exams given in a manner suitable to his abilities and he graduated cum laude.
We spent a lot of time, hanging out together, including his stints doing two internships (he was going for Federal BOP, not some State job.) During this time, I met hookers as young as six and murderers as young as 12, a 13yo serial rapist, and several armed robbers under age 14 — all of whom were doing time, and only the hookers and burglars were in juvi. The other kids were in adult lockup, because they were considered too dangerous to be allowed with other children. This was in the 1980s.
I have no illusions about “how bad” a child can be.
150 years ago, 14yos were considered men and often wives. They haven’t changed their physical maturity level, not their capabilities. “Society” has changed the way we view them, based FTMP on the fact we live much longer now than we did in the 1870s. Girls no longer get married and start screwing at age 12 (although I went to school with three who did.) They also no longer die at age 31. I’m all for denying them sex until they’re emotionally capable of handling a 21st Century relationship, but I’m not so inclined WRT their civil and social responsibilities.
They might lock the 14yo up. They might even keep him behind bars until he turns 18 (but probably not.)
Modern society sux…
It’s quite possible that the sheriff had deputies watching the house with unmarked units, watching to see if the kid was there and would run.
Advocate for LOCKING up the Parents as well.
Only way to stop Gangland violence in a city/town near you.
The problem with this is you get parents locked up for petty crime like petty shoplifting or truancy, or you write a rule which only applies to some crimes, and when it gets dumped because it’s unconstitutional, the lawsuits fly.
Now maybe counties could do a modified “Joe Arpaio:” Tent City, hard labor, bologna banquet, etc. and give mommy or daddy the option of serving junior’s sentence for him (or her) if they don’t like the sentence their baby gets when he torches a 7-11 or snatch-and-grabs a brace of iPhones. Then throw the book at the damn’ delinquent…

thinking about this and an island living on volcanic rock..I’m not sure if you could put a coil down four to six feet.. considering this I got thinking..my solar beer chiller..the problem I had was the expansion chamber got so cold it gristle the beer..I had to fill it with ice above the expansion chamber..how it worked was similar to the Crowley Ivey ball..
hers Dan..that Ivey ball was mine I sent it to him to play with..what he didn’t know was..I drained it and just put water in it for shipping since ammonia is hazardous..and he still got a what forty degree drop without any ammonia in it..

the solar beer chilled worked on the same principle..
https://youtu.be/PfuXnP_6EbY?si=g4SL2dnLpNKCBRnZ
what I had was a simple double angle trap as kid with the hot side on it the cold side was in the container..using an evaporative cooling coil before the expansion chamber should give you a temp way below wetbowl temp..
now you could use janitorial thirty seventy mix ammonia.. or alcohol water..
my margarita cooler idea..(the margarita is the coolent..)instead your desire is to collect moisture from the air not freeze food.. so the loop would go into a barrel of water using the solar beer chillers during the day storing that cool in the barrel of water..once the sun goes down the pump comes on circulating the cool water through the coils gathering the atmospheric water..very little energy use that can easily be made using a small solar panel to trickle charge the battery..

Very smart idea!
AI is code and weights. Code can be changed with ease. New training, new weights, and no remnants of watermarking.
Like locks, it keeps honest people out. With AI coding, disassembling, decompiling, and retraining another AI, it seems to be a lost cause.

The first video is the more important IMHO. She runs a business training people in AI systems and techniques, and I give her great credit for her marketing acumen and pushing through disabilities in her personal life. Just watch for the info regarding consciousness and quantum, and more if you want to. Her training is not for me due to other priorities, but it might be useful for some folks – especially those who want to monetize AI.
