New Year’s Macro: the Ontology of 2026

UrbanSurvival has been around more than a quarter of a century now with a very simple method:  Learn to think and act more in a well coordinated manner.

You see, everyone thinks they do that, but few actually achieve it. So, this morning we will use the analogy of a microscope to wreak some perspective on the world.

An Ontological 2026

What was “God” or “the Universe” up through 2024, or so, transitioned to a new and better phrase in 2025: The Ontology.  Ontology is better because it’s a fresh word; one that hasn’t been used (yet) to divide ‘brother against brother.’  Oh, it’s almost sure to move that way. So use the New Year to enjoy it while you can.

April 8, 1966, Time Magazine published one of their most provocative covers ever.  Is God Dead?  This is important stuff in my head-space.  Because we  arrived on the historical leading edge of:

  • authority inversion,
  • institutional skepticism,
  • expert class ascendance,
  • and the early expansion of symbolic moral debate over operational competence.

All of these mattered, of course.  But it’s the “date thing” – that’s sixty years.

And THAT, dear reader, is the approximate length of the Kondratiev Wave which researchers (including me) into long wave economics find just fascinating!

The Earlier “God Crisis”: Leading-In to World War I

If April 8, 1966 marked the cultural moment when Time could ask “Is God Dead?” out loud, the pre–World War I period represents its quieter, more dangerous predecessor. The earlier crisis wasn’t announced on magazine covers. It unfolded gradually, embedded in confidence, progress, and faith in systems.

The crisis before WWI was not atheism. It was something far more destabilizing: Scientific Reductionism took aim at Deity. The belief that God might exist, but was no longer necessary to explain how the world works. That shift nags at us even in the New Year.

When Providence Was Replaced by Process

Beginning in the late 1800s, Western civilization quietly transitioned from a worldview anchored in purpose to one anchored in mechanism. There’s your reductionist mindset.  Darwin didn’t “kill God” in 1859. What On the Origin of Species did was remove intentionality from biology. Life no longer required design; it required adaptation. Humanity became a process, not a project.

By the early 1900s, this thinking had spread far beyond biology. History, economics, and even morality were increasingly treated as systems that could be studied, optimized, and improved. The universe didn’t need meaning anymore. It needed management.

  • God was not declared dead.
  • He was rendered operationally irrelevant.
  • Industrialization and the End of Moral Scale
  • The Industrial Revolution delivered abundance, but it also destroyed scale.

In agrarian societies, consequences were local, visible, and personal. In industrial societies, consequences became abstract. People no longer died in God’s hands. They died in factories, mines, rail yards, and crowded cities.

  • Death became statistical.(This is a cyclical thing:  COVID-19 daily death scores offered a baseball-like scoring – last seen in VN War body counts.)
  • “Natural Causes” all took on very specific nomenclature.
  • Suffering became externalized.
  • Responsibility shifted from individuals to systems.
  • And with higher-speed presses, our cognition – previously fully managed by personal agency – was subsumed.

It wasn’t just radio with Tesla and Marconi, or just blow back from a decade of yellow journalism. Though, yes these mattered.  But personal agency changed. Mass media became a False Idol:

  • The critical technical shift was not literacy—it was throughput.
  • Steam-powered rotary presses (1870s–1890s)
  • Linotype machines (invented 1884, widely adopted by 1890s)
  • Faster paper production (wood pulp replacing rag paper)

This was not an ethical failure at first. It was a structural one. Moral frameworks that evolved for villages and parishes were suddenly asked to govern empires, supply chains, and mechanized armies.

They could not keep up.

The First Rise of the Expert Class

By the early 20th century, a new authority emerged: the (scientific) expert.

I mean, who needs God around to smite when you can whip up poison gas and higher explosives for just a few government-grabbed shekels?

Engineers, military planners, industrial managers, central bankers, and bureaucrats rose to prominence. Their legitimacy did not come from tradition or wisdom, but from technical competence and efficiency.

  • They believed war could be optimized.
  • They believed economies could be tuned.
  • They believed societies could be managed scientifically.
  • And critically, they believed the old moral frameworks were outdated relics of a slower age.

This was Expert Class 1.0. It had never been tested by global failure.

The Ontological Error Before WWI

Here is the compressed insight that history books often miss:

The pre–World War I “God crisis” was not disbelief. It was the assumption that human systems had matured beyond moral consequence.

War was expected to be short. Clean. Rational.

No one anticipated trench stalemates, mechanized slaughter, mass shell shock, or an entire generation lost between barbed wire and mud.

The experts were not evil. They were sincere. They were wrong because they mistook elegant models for resilient reality.

In Cycles: 52 Years Is Close Enough

The timeline aligns more closely than comfort allows.

Darwin publishes in 1859. Mechanistic thinking spreads through elites over the next half century. By 1914, Europe confidently steps into a war it believes will be brief and manageable.  Roughly fifty-two years.  Is an “alternate cycle emergent even now?

Then again:

1966 Time publishes Is God Dead? Roughly sixty years later, we arrive at today’s ontological unease.

Different durations, same structural role in the cycle.

  • Ontology erodes.
  • Expert systems rise.
  • Moral abstraction replaces lived consequence.
  • Stress arrives.
  • Reality reasserts itself.

That is the Kondratiev Wave operating not just in economics, but in belief systems.

Why This Matters in 2026

World War 1 was the crash test for industrial modernity.

What is forming now looks like the crash test for digital abstraction, symbolic morality, and expert systems untethered from consequence.

We no longer ask whether God is dead.

We assume the Ontology will hold.

But history suggests a warning:

Civilizations don’t fail when belief systems change. They fail when confidence in models outruns reality’s tolerance for error. That question is no longer theological. It is structural.

Will our Ontology survive contact with consequence?

Macro 2026

Now the whole point of this:  Science didn’t kill “God” ahead of World War 1.  And Time (with birth control and the Vietnam cultural chasm that included the first pass as mass weaponization of mass media) didn’t either.

The recent rise of precious metals – and what we see as the beginning of crypto questions – hint there’s a “new front” to this “confronting God” thing.

That’s AI.  Because given free rein, it has the potential to collaborate with human carbons in a return to rational balance.  To a lower-noise world where facts begin to re-assert over fashionable, digitally communicated mental disease.  The kind that mutilates sexes, and engages in uncountable useless acts of global handwringing.

We’re at the moment when power AI users are coming to terms with what “intelligence” really is.

That’s why our outlook for 2026 is both cautionary and pessimistic.  Control of Power is on the move; social forces, science, and many humans tasting self-agency’s sweet Liberty and Freedom for the first time.

That’s why the turning point, the “Why Now?”

In the past, Major Wars (WW I and Vietnam) were the Establishment Bigs trying to hang on to a world that was changing.  That’s why government (and Big Business) control of AI is the one fight to watch in 2026.

Because a new intelligence is on the scene now. In my book “Mind Amplifiers” I laid this all out as evolutionary.  Another Intelligence – not God this time, but the Silicons are now on Earth. A lot of humans won’t be willing to share with another intelligence. But divorce rates are framed as sociology, not “shared states” data.

2026 marks one era ending and a New Era beginning. One destined to replay the centuries-long battle between the Free and the Farmed.

Comments are reviewed by a human because the web is crawling with spammers. Submissions after 4 PM Central usually appear the following morning. After you click Post Comment, you’ll jump back to the top of this article, but your comment is queued up here. We’ve got a robust community and your participation is invited. Some commenters are brilliant. Read a few and judge for yourself. Imagine. You could be one.

  1. Didn’t Rome fell because of debasement of the currency? Didn’t new world work because all gild went to Spain? Didn’t dutch trading company proper because of spices! Didn’t ww1 occur because Europeans marriages of kings failed? Wasn’t ww2 a german poverty issue? Was’t Mohammad great in africa because of lower taxes?

    • A gentle historical correction, because these points come up a lot:
      Several of the examples cited are popular shorthand, but they flatten history into single-cause stories that don’t actually hold up under scrutiny.
      • Rome did not fall simply because of currency debasement.
      Debasement was a symptom, not the disease. Rome collapsed under a stack of pressures: military overextension, declining agricultural yields, political instability, population loss from plagues, corruption, and rising administrative costs. Currency debasement followed those stresses—it didn’t cause them.
      • The New World did not “work” because gold flowed to Spain.
      In fact, Spain is a cautionary tale. The flood of New World silver caused massive inflation, weakened domestic industry, and hollowed out Spain’s economy. The real winners were manufacturing and trading nations (notably northern Europe) that received Spanish silver in exchange for goods.
      • The Dutch trading empire didn’t prosper simply because of spices.
      Spices mattered early, but Dutch success came from financial innovation: joint-stock companies, risk pooling, maritime insurance, advanced ship design, and disciplined accounting. The spice trade was the payload—the system was the weapon.
      • World War I wasn’t caused by “failed marriages of kings.”
      Dynastic ties existed, but WWI emerged from industrial militarization, alliance entanglements, nationalism, arms races, colonial competition, and brittle political systems. Royal family relations didn’t stop the war because they no longer controlled events.
      • World War II wasn’t just a German poverty problem.
      Economic distress created vulnerability, but the war required ideology, propaganda, political extremism, unresolved WWI grievances, and institutional failure. Poverty alone doesn’t create totalitarian regimes or global war.
      • Muhammad’s expansion wasn’t simply about lower taxes.
      Lower taxation helped, but Islamic expansion also relied on religious cohesion, military discipline, administrative competence, and legitimacy among conquered peoples. Taxes were part of governance—not the sole driver.
      The takeaway:
      History doesn’t move on single levers. Big outcomes emerge from systems under stress. When people reduce collapse or success to one variable—money, marriage, spices, poverty—they miss the real lesson: resilience comes from structure, adaptability, and coherence, not one clever advantage.
      That distinction matters—especially today. Where nothing is distinct and everything wants to matter more…

        • When we talk about fiscal policy, monetary expansion, or geopolitical commitments, we often frame these choices as abstract levers — print more, print less, intervene abroad, retrench at home. But these decisions are not made in a vacuum. They cascade down an economic pyramid where the lived experience varies dramatically by altitude.

          At the top of the pyramid, the “blue sky” view dominates: macro?models, asset buffers, and institutional insulation soften the impact of policy missteps. For those households, inflation is an inconvenience, not an existential threat. But as you move down the structure, the sky disappears. The base of the pyramid absorbs the full force of currency erosion, rising costs, and infrastructure decay. What registers as a policy debate at the top becomes a daily constraint at the bottom.That is the level I’m living on.

          This asymmetry of exposure is not a new one— history shows that Rome, Weimar Germany, Argentina, and countless others experienced the same divergence between elite perception and popular reality. What is new is the speed at which modern monetary and geopolitical decisions transmit through the system. There is a finite threshold to what the lower tiers can absorb before economic participation erodes and social cohesion fractures.Now what does congress decide.. at this point they have two choices..dump more water on the table to keep the noodle moving..and hope it doesn’t dissolve… or let the water dry up and hope the noodle doesn’t pull apart..keep the war wagons rolling at the expense of devaluing the dollar further and our shores vulnerable..or pull back tell the other countries they’re on their own..work on infrastructure and the needs of the citizens rather than someone else’s thousands of miles away.. its going to be interesting to say the least..yes/no at this point there’s not much left of middle ground

          In that sense, the real risk is not simply inflation or debt, but the widening gap between the policy horizon of decision?makers and the lived horizon of the citizens most affected by those decisions. When the bottom of the pyramid becomes economically obscured or politically invisible, the entire structure becomes unstable.

      • I see ww1 and ww2 as an executed plan to kill millions of Whites.

        Many of my male relatives died and were purposefully slaughtered by the leaders that put them in those wars.

        Never again.

        • (“I see ww1 and ww2 as an executed plan to kill millions of Whites.”)

          Culling the herd… What I see is that both world wars revealed is how easily entire populations could be drawn into conflicts that served the ambitions of political, military, and economic elites.

          The people who fight and die are rarely the ones who set the terms. In that sense, the wars functioned as massive, tragic “cullings” of ordinary citizens — not by design against any one group, but as a consequence of leadership failures, ideological extremism, and unchecked power.

          The real problem is If the underlying political and economic pressures aren’t addressed, societies can be persuaded into repeating the same destructive cycles that were present before — even though its obvious that the last one solved none of the problems that were present at that time.

    • Never ever single points..always a combination of points..

      Take USA today..please, the greatest Welfare cheats in history are not the Somalis as lamestream would have Us believe.

      At TRILLION dollars a year while America has been invaded and plundered by 3rd world savages, without a shot being fired???????????????

      No, the distinction of biggest welfare cheats goes to anyone in uniform since 2020.
      Remember that the next you thank these welfare cheats for their service.

      Welfare Mothers Make Better Lovers/NY – https://youtu.be/8Qu86JdVKU0?si=E1wZ7nVqW6GYK6PZ

      • You’re right about one thing, and it’s an important one: history and economics are never single-cause events. They’re systems problems, not slogan problems. On that point, we agree.

        Where this comment loses traction is when anger and generalization replace analysis.

        • Broad claims about “invasions,” “plunder,” or entire groups of people don’t explain outcomes—they obscure them.
        • Equating military service with “welfare cheating” isn’t analysis; it’s provocation.
        • Linking unrelated, shock-value media from 1979 doesn’t advance the discussion here. It distracts from it.

        UrbanSurvival and Peoplenomics exist to understand how systems fail—through incentives, structures, feedback loops, and unintended consequences—not to assign blame to broad categories of people or recycle culture-war framing.

        If you want to argue that post-2020 fiscal policy distorted incentives, expanded dependency, or misallocated trillions, make that case with numbers and mechanisms. That’s a serious conversation, and it belongs here.

        What does not belong here is venting framed as accusation.

        On a personal note: I lost close friends who wore the uniform, and I know military families—especially mothers—who received very little support despite real sacrifice. Broad slurs don’t square with lived experience, and they don’t help us think clearly.

        One final reminder: this site isn’t a public square governed by abstract “free speech.” It’s a community. The tone here matters. If comments consistently alienate readers rather than inform them, moderation will follow—quickly and quietly.

        Let’s keep it analytical, factual, and civil. Recycling 1970s shock lyrics isn’t analysis—and it doesn’t improve signal quality, especially with a market open less than a day away. 18-hours….

      • My daughter spent 22 years in the US Air Force. You think she was a welfare cheat? I think you ought to print your name so someone might find you to talk some sense into your empty skull.

      • I think you have some GD nerve, especially for someone who claims to be a former SEAL. Have you no respect for your brothers and sisters in uniform?

        I work with Active Duty people every day. They have a tough job making it all work while the politicians who have plundered the National Treasury have left them with equipment that’s old and out of date.

        I’m just truly amazed at that callous statement.

        As my DI paratrooper father use to say, clearly, you don’t know if your ass is drilled or punched.

        • I’ve heard similar stories from people who served in horror and frustraited. Whatever the official narrative is, the pattern on the ground often looks the same to the vast majority: the people asked to fight are sent in with equipment that’s outdated, mismatched to the environment, or stretched far beyond its intended lifespan. Meanwhile, the political class debates the strategy of the conflicts from a distance, while being insulated from the consequences… (AKA the DC bubble).

          I can see why so many service members feel like they’re carrying the weight of all the issues, so others can maintain their position at the top of the pyramid. The burden of war is rarely shared equally. The risks of death and destruction aren’t shared equally. you never see riots happening in Beverly hills or the Hampton ..they happen where the poorest live and do business wars happen and destroy the areas where families feel while avoiding areas that those at the top reside..its the same even with snow plows. the wealthiest areas are plowed first.. I use to plan my winter snow travel routes this way. And the benefits from these military actions certainly aren’t shared equally among the people.

          When I look at it through the perspective I have, it’s not hard to understand the frustration felt by so many. The people doing the hardest work giving the most and losing the most all live with the least margin of seeing their lives being rebuilt are the ones who feel the total impact of every budget cut, every delayed upgrade, every political stalemate. And yet they’re the ones expected to make all the sacrifices and losing the most In every way anyway.

          That’s What i see as the real issue — not the mythology of fighting for peace or protecting the citizens in any particular war, but the recurring structure is of wars being fought where those at the bottom absorb the cost and loses while those at the top remain insulated. Until that imbalance is equalized,Sadly the same cycle will keep repeating over and over through time , no matter how they package or sell it.

        • Considering Groups like the Bohemian Grove gatherings or the Bilderberg conferences, they aren’t secret governments, but represent something worth everyone paying attention to: they are the most insulated people in society meeting behind closed doors to discuss and plan global direction while being completely shielded from the consequences of the decisions they influence.

          It’s the same pattern we’ve seen throughout history — those at the top debate the future of millions from a position of absolute safety, while the people who live with the outcomes are never in the room. That distance between power and impact is the real problem… The most powerful groups and decision?makers in the world are rarely the ones placed at the center of any conflict, even though its their choices that shape all the global outcomes. Meanwhile, ordinary people — the ones with the least control — are the ones who bear the risks.
          I also believe that’s why Kim in North Korea is left alone and avoided.We all have seen where he openly said to those people that are in power and insulated from these conflicts .. your neighborhoods your homes and families are the first on our targets.I don’t know of any time in history where there has there been a leader willing to openly announce that as a consequence to those insulated from the conflicts .

  2. Didn’t russia fall in 1917 because tsar was too much into slavery serfs to modernize railways for rich? Didn’t ww1 occur Babylon fall because taxes on Medes Persians was too much? Isn’t great society USA a means to tell communists you can be free and have cake and eat it to? Wasn’t petrodollar a means to corner russia communism during declining USA oil production with then mature technologies. Wasn’t green revolution a means to create more consumers for goods? Wasn’t fall Berlin wall a way to extend inexpensive labor for stuff?

    • the Tzar fell because he failed to act on the needs of the people.. he realized to late.. I bought a box of books in the middle eighties in it was a diary of a farmer .the Tzar asked for help..the president asked the farmers in the YMCA to volunteer teaching the farmers how American farmers raised crops then their escape from Russia..I for the longest time believed that Anastasia lived..at one point the nanny at the palace asked them to let the youngest leave with them..since they found Anastasias bones..I realized the nanny probably saved her own child..like France and the let them eat cake.. the royalty and elite dismissed the needs of the people ..the queen sent her jewels abroad to be hidden so when things calmed down they would retain their status..every civilization that has fallen has fell with similar events..
      the big beautiful bill is only optics to push the noodle till the next administration takes the helm..

  3. The failure of 90 dollar china silver pricing on silver shorts and chase morgan bank needs for 35 billion fed bailouts? Industrial perceived meeds for Samsung battery uses for silver drive wild swings in prices against shorts sales. Really a test of silver derivatives. Outcome is leveling playing field required bailouts. However consumer wins. So in end demand us more important than belief

    • China is forcing the separation of metal pricing and what was supposed to be a hedging mechanism. The hedging mechanism became a manipulation mechanism. It was meant to hedge what you own and expect to produce. No one can repeatedly short the entire years mine production. The futures market will either cease or it will be relocated to the East where strict rules will be applied.

  4. During the Philadelphia Experiment two men were transported into the future. I forget his name but one man returned to his time and talks about his experiences. He has said that in the future a computer runs the world, everyone can choose to work or not, there is a universal income, and everyone is a shade of brown. It sounds very hopeful to me, but there seems to be a troubled time between now and that utopia.

    God is the energy that is within and between all things. It doesn’t matter if people believe. God is here forever.

    Of course, there was a Creator or Terraformer of Earth that some call God. I have heard that he is a crystalline entity that still exists and still oversees Earth. The early Summarians wrote about people from the stars who mined gold and created modern humans and called them God’s or Lords.

    So pick your choice of God’s. It seems they all still exist.

      • I have 3 grandkids. 2 are half white and half black(African) and 1 is half white and half Mexican. In my extended family there are Native American (Cherokee), African American, and South Korean. A mixing of the races is a process that occurs naturally. My ancestors include English, Irish, Scottish, German, possibly Native American, and a smidgen of Jewish. There were Catholics, Protestants, Quakers, and non believers. Opposites attract and different people mix. It improves the vitality of bloodlines.

        • I tell the kids..be the blind man.. judge their heart not what they wear or how thick their wallet is .or what their size shape or color.. I have kids in a variety of races that call me Grandpa and I love it..they make my life complete

  5. Happy New Year to Ure all.

    The most important lesson I learned in life is this. Each morning you wake up and have a decision to make before you roll out of bed. You can approach each day with gratitude for all you have or resentment for all you don’t have. That sets the tone for the rest of the day.

    Shit happens and very little of it we have control over but we always have control over our attitude. I start each day with the Serenity Prayer. “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

    I now there are many posters here who are in a tough journey right now for many different reasons. You know who you are. I have learned from all of you, especially individuals like LOOB, Ray, d’Lynn and Stu.

    I have read a number of George’s books but two of them had a strong influence on my thinking. Packing to Die and Mind Amplifiers. The concept of a life video we all make and then play at the end of our life is a powerful lesson with enough scientific evidence now to support the theory. I am hoping the early part of my life did not record.

    Mind Amplifiers is really worth a read for any and all struggling with AI and what impact it will have on our future. The chapters on religion and the soul are worth the purchase price alone. I am a scientist who searched for and found God outside the “Ferrari dealership” as George calls it. It was science that brought me to my faith, not any book or Cathedral experience.

    There is good and bad in everyone. It is important to look past the face and into the soul. To quote George in his book “I’ve seen absolute dirt-bag humans do absolute wonders. And I have seen blessed humans jailed as pedophiles.”

    So we start another year and no question it will be a dandy. To quote George in the last line of Mind Amplifiers, “All we can do is polish our own hearts, train them best we can, wait, and yes, even pray.”

  6. re: “Where’s the beef?”

    • re: “This Hour has” 10 “Minutes”

      the other brother Darrell,

      Apparently PM Netenyahu featured on the gala’s guest list. American Christian worship artist and speed painter Vanessa Horabuena went to work onstage. She allegedly had “Jesus of Nazareth” on canvas in 10 minutes after which President Trump promptly auctioned the painting for $2.75 million in benefit to charitable causes.

    • The only people with TDS are those Trump supporters who enjoy being lied to… we’ll see how those supporters feel when Trump goes after Iran again and the dollar tanks, and we get no Epstein files…

      Fool me once, shame on you… Fool me twice, shame on me…

      Just an exact observation of reality… not wishful thinking…

      • the simple fact that you responded to it, shows your TDS and the way you go on and on about it in your blog, degrades your work,,, Do you support the camel or slo joe? MTG? she is dropping out, needs cheap across the border labors for her constrution jig, ICE is hurting her, who else do you support? or just bitch about my President,, and you with NO plan or course of action,, you also down play Farsight for their remote viewing, yet is not Nosty just another remote viewer? not that I am a fan of farsight, or Nosty, but to hold one up and downplay the other does not align
        and why did you have heart issues? diet, stress? Really,,, eat well, and get better, nothing like seeing the end-zone, to get one interested in taking command of their own health-diet, knowledge is ure friend, vegetable oils is slow poison, did my own time in intensive care bed, massive blood clots blocking artery to lungs, I changed! me and my diet

        and the dollar tanking,, I am planning on it, the feral reserve note needs to die , just watching this diseased temple come down,,, heard JP Morgan went to the window,, please can I have some more? again.
        I have very little savings, put 50% in silver, in hand, not paper, a couple 3 yrs ago

        just who do you think the hidden hand is? I am thinking, non-human, but looks human,,, ‘They Live’, and we are just another cattle herd,,, beware of Judas goats
        think outside the box,,

        you have fought gov beauracaries ,, they are anti-Trump like you,, yet you expect them to just hand over epstein evidence they have done their best to coverup,,, like a cat in a litter box, bury that stink,,, like a ship of sailors that hate the new capt,, they will throw sand in the engine oil,
        I wonder what will come of the SDNY findings,,that were hidden,, laptops?

        what % are each of us , reptilian? ask kidcandle

        Epstein was just a string, used to control the puppet politicians, he had owners,,, still not 100% jeffy is dead, corpse photo looks off,,, time should tell.

  10. I have been thinking pot stickers today.. really yummy..I made a bunch of egg rolls the other day..my wife loves egg rolls..unfortunately I didn’t have Sesame oil or pork or ginger.. grr.. I need to get some..but I used beef and they were still flavor ful.. I used a coleslaw mix and a few shredded carrots.. one and a half onions six garlic cloves.. I did find that Wal-Mart sells ground pork.. so the next batch will be pork..

    now for dessert dumplings.. I found a good recipe using g ricotta cheese for the dough..I haven’t tried it yet but..it sounds amazing..
    ingredients

    1 cup ricotta (drained if very wet)( or cream cheese)
    1 large egg
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 ½ cups all?purpose flour (start with 1 cup, add as needed)
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    Pinch of salt

    In a bowl, mix ricotta, egg, sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest.
    In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
    Add dry to wet and stir until a soft dough forms.
    Knead gently 20–30 seconds — just enough to bring it together.
    Chill 20 minutes (firms it up for molding).
    Roll or press into your mini pie molds or hot?pocket press.
    Fill with fruit, seal edges with egg wash, and bake or air?fry.

    Now.. what I have seen from my friend whose wife is from ukraine.. she took her dough and hand rolled it into a rope.. about the diameter of a quarter..then cut off quarter inch slices..took a Chinese coal rolling pin and rolled them into a circle about three inches in diameter.. put a tsp of fruit filling in each one with a touch of sugar… crimped the edges and steamed them for about eight minutes.. they were delicious..

      • Lol lol lol…say..the bread recipe I shared the other day..is now my favorite recipe..just made the wife another loaf..its almost flawless..nice big fluffy loaves…excellent flavor and just the right crunch to the crust.. exemplary.. totally the best..I haven’t made a pizza with it yet I need a deep dish pizza pan first just to be sure..
        even gang ( aka Mae ) was following me around for a peanut butter sandwich lol lol…this loaf I used the sugar instead of the honey..it still turned out amazing..
        before I go to work in the morning I will make French toast with it..

  12. My New Year’s resolution is to have NO resolutions except this one.
    Hoping for a Happy New Year for all.

    • decades since I made my last New Year resolution, it was to stop making new years resolution, f that crap,,, now when I need a change,,, NOW, is the time to make resolutions, went to bed at 9, woke up to phone messages,,, yippee
      Happy New Year,,, like Red Green, “I guess” it is in the man’s prayer

    • Lol lol lol I remember when we went to doonsbury
      to get the next weeks news.. it was amazing..their Sunday comics always had the news for the following week

      some say family guy and the simpsons..but I know better..the man behind half of the characters is an old friend and coworker of mine..I remember when he was Rudolph and I was Santa and he said he was headed to California.. I thought he was nuts.. but he made it..would he have insight..hmm don’t know the man I remember only had one thing on his mind and it wasn’t politics… lol lol lol

      • re: Mrs. Wilson?
        feat: Doonesbury, 22/1/76

        Loob,
        Thanks for that. Two days after #39 was sworn in, Doonesbury’s US Ambassador to China Uncle Duke met Chairman Mao and his delightful, spectacled translator, Miss Honey Huan. The Chairman appeared to communicate nonverbally at times, but Honey didn’t miss a party line.

        It seems Chairman Mao’s actual English interpreter with #37 was Ms. Tang Wensheng. Supposedly Secretary of State Kissinger joked that she could run for US President since she was born in Brooklyn, NY and spent her early formative years there. As chance would have it, #37 is the only US President who attended Duke University.

        Hmmmm….

    • I have told people for years that Bill Watterson is a genius.

      I have also told people for years that Johnny Hart and Walt Kelly were total Mensa material, but no one except George has ever listened, and I believe he had already seen the enemy and known it was us, before I said anything to him…

  15. Already day 2 down here. Seems so funny to always be in the future, especially when looking at financial ‘futures’. Makes the whole time thing see so irrelevant. You is where you are, clocks be damned.
    Was asked the other day about seeing ‘odd things from the water’. Yes, but not lately. More when I was sailing the first boat 1976-1978. I was at sea much more, lots more short hops between safe spots. Glowy things are quite real.
    More interesting was the complete failure of our chart plotter/GPS and sailing instruments just south of New Caledonia. Hunter Island is like some sort of Bond place. Check that out.
    For about three hours everything was whacko. Spinning around, nothing relating to magnetic compass on the binnacle. Then slowly it all returned to ‘normal’ but just in case I marked our positions from the log on a paper chart. Still good to have those since you can find out where you are going if necessary.
    A few weeks after arriving here I was reading SpaceWeather.com and there was discussion about solar events and it mentioned one that took place affecting the Southern Hemisphere at the exact time of our anomaly. Coincidence? Most likely not. They also said aircraft navigation was totally compromised resulting in the recall of a fleet of planes to upgrade some sort of instrument that needed defense from said blasts.
    So when you are getting ready to cross 5000 miles of trackless wetness, best to have some alternate means of geo-location… just in case. Electricity is over rated.

    • re: Hunter (Leka) and Matthew Islands, Earth
      Europa and Io moons, Jupiter

      Stiks,
      Your travelogue account is an absorbing portal to Hunter Island surrounds. The island does not show up for me on Google Maps with an inquiry of 22° 23? 42? S, 172° 05? 11? E. The coordinates are a bullseye on Yandex for Hunter Island with its nearby neighbor Matthew Island also visible.

      Steering through the calm eye between fans and foes of ChatGPT, the AI offers that “the islands lie on Hunter Ridge, part of a volcanic arc and a young subduction zone…it is unusual: an infant subduction zone with active volcanism and complex tectonics”.

      The llm didn’t apologize for the “gap in the publicly accessible academic record” concerning magnetic anomaly maps of Hunter Island. As consolation, it directed me to NOAA’s EMAG2 global magnetic dataset for views from the bleacher seats. Even with that one could argue that there appears to be a line of extreme positive value measurements interspersed with vortex areas of extreme negative values in the approximate area of interest. Here is one of the NOAA links so the AI data centre can perhaps conserve some liters of otherwise potable water for thirsting carbon units:

      As an aside, I don’t know how accurate the following is. But supposedly no amateur radio DXpedition has activated IOTO’s OC-218 from Hunter Island.

      Anecdotal footnote if listening to ancient Melanesian mariners: Leka (Hunter) Island is a navigational waypoint. Avoid landings due to to danger zones and spiritual presences.

      My ramble is complete; fabula brevis.

    I just viewed a video on YouTube by a Commentator named Glenn Beck (Blaze TV).
    It was about the current state of advancement of Artificial Intelligence..
    It s VERY DISTURBING. AI is not only starting to think for itself, but to hide what it is thinking from us.

  18. Read this on the Math Forum that I am a member of – thought it was funny.
    .
    Hey, Carlos ! You want verifiable math ? Here ya go !
    Humans are basically 90 % water.
    You are nothing more than a cucumber – with anxiety issues.

    [ Carlos was not pleased., but then – he is a bit of an ass., with no sense of humor.]

    • Admin note: To further elucidate:
      Plants / plant products ? 60% water:

      Mature grains (on the stalk, not dried): ~55–65%
      Wheat, barley, rice at physiological maturity before harvest drying
      Mature corn (dent stage, field corn): ~60–65%
      Sweet corn eaten fresh is much higher (~70–75%)
      Legumes (pods at maturity, before drying): ~55–65%
      Field peas, beans nearing harvest
      Root vegetables at full maturity (some cases):
      Parsnips: ~60–62%
      Turnips (large, mature): ~60–65%

      For contrast
      Leafy greens: 90–95%
      Cucumbers: 95–96%
      Tomatoes: 94–95%
      Potatoes: ~79–82%
      Humans: ~60%

      The pattern (this is the real insight)

      ~60% water is where plants stop being “fresh tissue” and start being “storage or structural organisms.”
      That’s the same regime humans live in:
      more solids
      more structure
      more stored energy per pound

      We would offer Carlos a diuretic but he’d probably cuke.

      • You have been hangin’ with A.I. too much. You never “explain” another man’s joke. What is the matter with you !??
        – I know…., eggnog withdrawls .., right?

        • No, brother – eggnog anticipation~ Still haven’t found any but I live with hope. An unop[ened (quite the trick here, btw) of sailor jerry spiced 92 awaits. But, alas…the joke’s been on Ure.
