I had planned to drop a ShopTalk Sunday on electroculture here this weekend, but the deeper I got into the research, the more obvious it became this isn’t casual backyard tinkering anymore. This has turned into real, industrial-grade science.
I’m generous with my time and all, but giving away a 6,000-word piece with real science? Come on. I’m not that stupid. Nearly, but not quite.
Here’s what happened in short form.
What started as a simple “does a electrical waveform – signal – help tomatoes grow?” question has turned into a multi-domain systems problem touching plant electrophysiology, ionospheric physics, and environmental coherence. Then it expanded into economics and from there….
That’s the kind of real thinking that belongs in the Peoplenomics court.
As well it should. Because not only did this line of work point toward a possible revolution in agriculture — pending more testing, of course — but it also pushed me into rethinking what we call “crypto.” That breakthrough will be unveiled this coming Wednesday.
But it doesn’t stop there. That research (and this is an interesting story in itself) led to a trifecta hot streak. I also discovered a trillion-dollar hole in AI.
No, seriously.
That’s simply too much free stuff fto release all at once on UrbanSurvival — and too much potential value to give away in a free post. What’s the old saying? People don’t value what’s free? I totally get that.
So I’m held the big electroculture piece for Peoplenomics readers only. Over there, I take the time to craft research in Word, produce PDFs, and work in a more grown-up kind of place. Sometimes it takes only a few hours to do one of those 25+page ChartPacks on which falls finance will be going over next. Other times? Weeks of research.
That handful of $40/year subscribers affords us the luxury of time to do it right. Thank them. That’s why Urban is still here (and free – and no ads, either) for now.
Sometimes even I have to admit when a rabbit hole turns into a mine shaft. And the deeper I got down this one? The bigger the shaft got — it’s up to Godzilla-sized now.

Wordslinger : well done on moderating online work. Oh, you didn’t. It’s a journey Mate. (OBSCON section follows) All my tool stuff was done yesterday, on my day off. I wire brushed the submerged (7) treads on (3) pier steps / ladders whhich make transitioning into Mother Lake when inclined. A neighbor taught me something moons ago : paint submerged treads with yacht ablative. It looks great for one season and retards slime. A glutton … I also painted treads on my neighbors (2) sets of steps. Paid it forward.
No good deed goes unpunished. At 0400 this am my right leg threw an enormous charlie-horse. I’m thinking Egor needs to work a lot of squats before racing begins. But, another med-e-vac helo went over and didn’t stop for me. So, it’s probably time to lay a wager. Get small. Not Steve Martin style, in positions, if any. Own time to eliminate decay variable.
Or, just go with flow. Possibly I’ll climb on the big tool, a trusty lawn tractor, and run through the front yard. Or not. Our thrice weekly deluge is inbound and I will be occupied as medical advocate and limo driver (plus payor for whatever) so my elderly sister attends a series of consults beginning in Mishawaka ending city center Indianapolis. Then drive home.
Yep, need to do some (tractor) driving today.

I started to talk to Elaine about climbing on the big tool – but she was already running from the room screaming before I explained it was the lawn tractor big tool I was referring to… Everyone these days is SO sensitive…

Lol lol lol….see now I say… honey I have a bruise I’m conceren about..your a nurse .lol lol lol..
wanna get my wife upset.. if you walked up saying..god I just seen him heading for the bar going to pick up an easy woman …shed say I hope he has a good time.. nothing upsetting on something like that..
but if you said dam he just drove by heading for the hardware store..or I just seen him in the cooking utinsel isle at Wal-Mart.. shed be flipping her lid lol lol..
I was so ha
Oh yesterday..she wanted to pick up a few items at the store..her past strokes has effected her mobility and when my mobility is effected we have the store deliver it..or when I’m going ok I go pick it up..her therapy has been a huge success..
she walked all around the store shopping..she Hasn’t done that in years..
to continue her long term therapy the therapist wants her to get one of these..
https://motusnova.com/
pretty cool…I told her if we can get it for one or two grand go for it I will make it work….but its a tad bit higher since it uses satellite communication directly with the therapist..now we wait to see whether Medicare will cover any of it..
the surgeon and therapist never thought shed be able to get it fixed and had ordered a really expensive brace..but she’s a stubborn woman and chose therapy..
I was quietly freaking out because my physical therapy took everything we had..so far I was pleasantly surprised that the new supplement plan has picked up the lions share of it so far..
I get a charley horse when I’m dehydrated.
Google says:
A charley horse is a sudden, involuntary muscle spasm or cramp, most common in the legs, often caused by dehydration, electrolyte deficiencies (potassium, magnesium, calcium), muscle overuse, or poor circulation. They are frequently triggered by intense exercise, prolonged inactivity, or cold temperatures.
if mag glycinate and 16 oz water chugged doesn’t fix it, half a banana and more water – yep., get em all the time. Once inconceivable, I do go long stretches without remembering to drink. Oh, how I miss the half-racks of youth!
Dill pickle juice..
the grandson and the whole football team would devoured a whole jar of pickles after a game or training..
Egor- Take a magnesium supplement at bedtime…. and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate for the cramps. A small packet of yellow mustard (or several) kept on the nightstand with water. For hard cramps, swallow the mustard with water. Seems to have a near miraculous way of electrolytes relaxing a cramp quickly.
Need more details that Dr. Hank?
It sounds like folk medicine, but there are a couple of real physiology hooks behind the “mustard for cramps” trick. It’s probably not doing what people think (i.e., “replacing electrolytes instantly”), but it can still work.
1) It’s a nerve reflex, not electrolyte replacement
A muscle cramp is a misfiring loop between:
the muscle
the spinal cord
motor neurons
Mustard (like pickle juice) is:
very sour (vinegar/acetic acid)
salty
often a bit spicy (mustard seed compounds)
That strong taste hits receptors in the mouth, throat, and stomach ? sends a rapid signal via the nervous system ? interrupts the cramp reflex loop.
? This can happen in seconds, which is why athletes have used pickle juice for years. Electrolytes can’t move that fast.
2) The salt helps a little (but slower)
Mustard has:
sodium
a bit of potassium
That can help if you’re low on electrolytes, but:
it takes minutes to absorb, not seconds
so it’s not the main reason for immediate relief
3) Why magnesium + hydration works (the “real fix”)
What your commenter said actually lines up well with physiology:
Magnesium ? helps muscles relax and reduces nerve excitability
Hydration ? keeps electrolyte balance stable
Sodium (salt) ? helps fluid balance and nerve conduction
? These address the root cause, not just the symptom.
4) Why cramps hit you at night (your earlier clue)
From what you described:
carbs ? fluid shifts into cells
dehydration ? concentration imbalance
electrolyte mismatch ? nerve misfiring
That’s a perfect setup for nocturnal cramps.
? Bottom line
Mustard works fast because it triggers a neurological “reset” reflex
Magnesium + hydration work because they prevent the cramp in the first place
The “electrolyte miracle” explanation is mostly wrong, but accidentally useful
Practical playbook (simple and effective)
Night:
magnesium glycinate or citrate
good hydration
During a cramp:
mustard / pickle juice ? quick relief
stretch the muscle
One-line summary
Mustard doesn’t fix cramps by feeding electrolytes—it shocks the nervous system just enough to make the cramp let go.
Thanks to Hank for getting old first and pointing the way…
… says Professor Ure, who is still four years ahead of me on the ‘Old Scale’. Makes much more sense than the electrolytes explanation.

Would dsmo to open up membranes help ion transport with electrics?
Good thought but I didn’t find anything in the lit – you and I are on the same page here though…,
In the ‘ElectroCulture’ – is this why placing solid copper coils [ 3 footers ] into a raised bed helps produce “more-faster” – ?? I have three years of data showing that it actually does make a difference. [ with six, local generation, plants / seeds from plants grown in this environment for many years – ergo: many generations based on the same environmental conditions. ] My coils are three foot – with a one foot long straight top and bottom – coil is five inch dia.
Would using copper coils enhance your system ?
It didn’t last year in my initial testing. BUT – big caveat here – remember that my growing is inside. So even the plastic shell material lexan “breaks the orgone” if you come at life energy from the Wilhelm (Reich) side of things (accumulator theory. So I’m trying to waveform my way into that kind of improvement indoors with the objective of a module for sale down the road…
Inside will negate all of the copper effects. Yes.
“Where is the IQ central point of America?” I eliminated the East and West Coasts…”
Based on the most recent College Board Review data, here are the states with the highest average total SAT scores:
Kansas – 1,256
Wyoming – 1,253
Utah – 1,230
North Dakota – 1,229
Nebraska – 1,227
Wisconsin – 1,221
Minnesota – 1,215
South Dakota – 1,214
Kentucky – 1,208 [ close to “East Coast”.]
Montana – 1,204
You nailed it.
Not an East, nor West coaster in sight.
from the stack: ommon threads:
1. Interior / non-coastal America.
All are inland states. No ocean ports, no direct maritime economy, no coastal megacity structure.
2. Northern / cold-winter bias.
Most are Upper Midwest, Plains, Mountain West, or near them. Long winters, freeze-thaw, heating seasons, strong seasonality.
3. High rural / small-town structure.
Even Wisconsin, Minnesota, Utah, Kentucky have large rural-cultural footprints. This is not a big coastal metro list.
4. Agriculture / land-based economies.
Wheat, corn, cattle, dairy, ranching, energy, mining, timber, and food processing all loom large. These are “land productivity” states.
5. Lower population density.
Most are spacious states with fewer people per square mile. Wisconsin/Kentucky are denser than Wyoming/Montana, but still not coastal-urban.
6. Strong Germanic / Scandinavian / northern European settlement signal.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Dakotas, Kansas, Montana especially. Utah adds Mormon pioneer culture; Kentucky adds Scots-Irish/Appalachian.
7. High “practical skills” culture.
Farm repair, mechanical aptitude, hunting, heating, livestock, local self-reliance, DIY. These states tend to reward competence over polish.
8. Flyover / overlooked states.
Culturally, these are not media-center states. They are places things are grown, mined, transported, repaired, stored, or endured.
9. Strong county-road / grid-road geography.
Plains survey systems, section lines, township/range patterns. A lot of rectilinear land organization.
10. Weather exposure states.
Blizzards, tornadoes, drought, hail, flooding, extreme heat/cold swings. Nature is not background wallpaper there.
11. Low coastal immigration churn compared with gateway states.
Fewer giant international arrival hubs than NY/CA/TX/FL/NJ/IL. More settled regional identity.
12. Politically: mostly red or purple-red with rural weighting.
Minnesota/Wisconsin can vote blue statewide, but the rural/county fabric fits the same cultural geography.
13. Transportation corridor states.
Rail, interstate freight, grain movement, energy movement. These are backbone states, not showcase states.
14. “Middle America” in the older psychological sense.
Duty, church, family, school sports, weather talk, practical economy, local reputation.
Most likely hidden-variable buckets this cluster could represent:
A cold-climate rural resilience index.
A land/agriculture/resource dependency index.
A low-coastal/low-metro cultural index.
A northern European settlement / surname / ancestry signal.
A “practical self-reliance” or DIY behavior signal.
A low population-density / high land-per-person signal.
A grid-survey / Plains-Mountain settlement pattern signal.
Kentucky is the odd duck, but not fatal. It shares rurality, land-based culture, coal/agriculture, self-reliance, and interior status. It may be the “Appalachian bridge” version of the same variable.
My best guess: whatever generated this list is measuring some blend of rural interior, cold-season, land-based, self-reliant, non-coastal America.

Bext tasking was to go deep on the environmentals including lithium in ground water because these states also have lowerw ALZ clusgtering
These states share several deep environmental and nutritional commonalities that could plausibly influence human biology, cognition, mood, or development (tying into why their self-selected high-achieving students post strong SAT numbers). Here’s a rigorous breakdown based on USGS, EPA, soil surveys, and related data.
1. Groundwater Lithium Levels (Strongest Shared Thread)
These states cluster in regions with elevated natural lithium in groundwater, particularly from the High Plains Aquifer and associated systems:
High lithium prevalence: Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and Utah show some of the highest estimated lithium concentrations (>30 ?g/L) in public and private wells (USGS 2024 study). This is driven by “old” groundwater (recharged pre-1950s), arid/semi-arid conditions, and unconsolidated clastic aquifers.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Kentucky have more moderate but still notable levels compared to coastal/Eastern states.
Lithium is a trace element with mood-stabilizing effects (used therapeutically for bipolar disorder). Low-dose environmental exposure via drinking water has been hypothesized in some studies to correlate with lower suicide rates, better impulse control, or subtle cognitive benefits—though causation is debated and levels here are far below therapeutic doses.
Bottom line: Shared geology (High Plains + Rocky Mountain influence) gives many of these states naturally higher lithium exposure than the national average.
2. Soil and Broader Trace Mineral Nutrition
Great Plains / Midwest heartland soils are often mineral-rich due to glacial till, loess deposits, and sedimentary geology. Higher baseline levels of magnesium, calcium, and other traces are common (USGS soil geochemistry maps).
Boron, zinc, and other micronutrients vary but are generally adequate or supplemented in agriculture here. The region supports nutrient-dense crops (wheat, corn, beef, dairy) that form dietary staples.
Kentucky adds Appalachian/soil diversity but fits the broader “interior continental” mineral profile.
This could contribute to better overall micronutrient status in local diets (e.g., grass-fed beef, dairy from mineral-rich soils).
3. Air Quality
These states rank among the best in the U.S. for air quality (low PM2.5, low ozone in most rural areas):
Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota frequently top “cleanest air” lists (low population density, limited heavy industry, wind patterns).
Minnesota and Wisconsin benefit from vast forests and lakes.
Utah has inversions in valleys (occasional poor days), but much of the state is excellent.
Low particulate pollution and fewer urban pollutants mean cleaner respiratory environments.
4. Air Ionization Patterns (Negative Air Ions – NAIs)
Data is sparser, but patterns align:
Rural, forested, mountainous, or open-plains areas (common here) generate more negative air ions via vegetation, waterfalls, wind over terrain, and thunderstorms.
Mountain West (Montana, Wyoming, Utah) and northern forests (Minnesota, Wisconsin) likely have elevated NAIs — linked in some research to improved mood, alertness, and respiratory function (though evidence is mixed).
Low pollution helps NAIs persist longer (pollutants neutralize them).
Continental climate with strong seasonal thunderstorms and open landscapes may boost ionization.
Deeper / Off-the-Wall Connections
Geology & “Old Water”: Many share ancient aquifers and glacial history ? stable mineral profiles, potentially including other traces (e.g., magnesium, which supports neurological function).
Low Urbanization + Rural Lifestyle: Cleaner air/soil/water + active outdoor life + lower exposure to urban endocrine disruptors.
Climate/Weather: Cold winters, big temperature swings, high winds, and open skies — possibly linked to vitamin D (sun exposure when available) or resilience factors.
Agricultural Diet: Heavy reliance on local grains, meat, dairy from mineral-rich soils.
Demographic/Cultural Overlap: Northern European settler heritage in many (Scandinavian/German in Upper Midwest) — genetic factors + cultural emphasis on education/grit could interact with environment.
Caveats: Correlation ? causation. SAT inflation from low participation remains the dominant statistical driver. Environmental factors like lithium/air quality are subtle, multifactorial influences at best. Confounders include socioeconomic patterns, education spending, and self-selection.
This cluster represents a distinct “interior continental heartland” environmental signature: mineral-rich (esp. lithium) groundwater, exceptionally clean air, natural ionization, and rural/agrarian nutrition. Fascinating for “variable hunting” — it could be worth cross-referencing with health outcomes (e.g., mood disorders, cognitive metrics) or even running local water tests.
Want me to pull specific county-level lithium data, soil maps, or compare to low-SAT states for contrast?
Then tasking into far oddballing
Metrics for your heartland states cluster (Kansas, Wyoming, Utah, North Dakota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Kentucky, Montana):
1. Commute Distance / Time (Strong Common Thread)
These states have some of the shortest commutes in the U.S. — a clear rural/low-density advantage.
StateAvg One-Way Commute Time (minutes)Approx. Distance (miles)South Dakota~18–19Shorter than averageNorth Dakota~17–19Very shortMontana~19–21ShortNebraska~19–20ShortWyoming~18–22ShortKansas~20–21ShortWisconsin~22–24Moderate-shortMinnesota~23–24Moderate-shortUtah~22–24ModerateKentucky~23–25Moderate
National average: ~26–27 minutes one-way (~12–16 miles).
These states are consistently 4–10 minutes shorter than the U.S. average, meaning less daily time in vehicles (less indoor/car time, more potential outdoor exposure).
2. Time Spent Indoors vs. Outdoors
National baseline (EPA/NHAPS studies, consistent across decades):
~87% indoors (buildings)
~6–7% in vehicles
~7% outdoors (roughly 1.5–2 hours/day on average, including functional time like walking to car)
State/regional differences (these states trend better):
Rural advantage: Rural residents spend ~0.7–1.2 hours more per day outdoors than urban residents (Canadian + U.S. studies show consistent pattern; rural adults ~1.2 hrs extra).
These states are among the most rural/low-density in the U.S., so they likely beat the national 7% outdoor average.
Outdoorsy rankings: Montana, Wyoming, Utah, North Dakota frequently rank high in outdoor recreation participation and “outdoorsy” metrics (e.g., % of population engaging in nature activities).
North Central / Western / Plains states show higher rates of regular nature time (APM Research).
Estimated for your cluster (informed inference from rural data):
Likely 8–12%+ time outdoors (vs. national 7%) ? potentially 2–3+ hours/day average, especially in summer/agricultural lifestyles.
Lower urbanization = fewer people glued to dense indoor environments.
Higher participation in hunting, farming, ranching, hiking, etc.
Deeper Tie-In to Your Variable Hunt
Shorter commutes + more rural life = meaningfully less time trapped in cars/buildings ? more cumulative outdoor exposure (sunlight, negative ions, nature sounds, movement).
This compounds with the lithium-rich groundwater, clean air, and mineral-rich soils we discussed earlier.
Lower stress from commuting + more incidental outdoor time could subtly support the cognitive/mood factors that show up in the high (self-selected) SAT pool.
Bottom line metric summary for the group:
Commutes: Among America’s shortest (~18–23 min vs. 27 national).
Indoors/Outdoors: More outdoor time than coastal/urban states (rural boost of ~1 extra hour/day on average), though still dominated by indoor life like everyone else.
These are solid environmental variables that differentiate the cluster from high-participation, high-traffic coastal states. Want me to dig into specific states, seasonal breakdowns, or cross-reference with physical activity data?

Dude,
Biggest difference tween coastal and rural…The People are 1000 times nicer,friendlier than anywhere NE. Drivers ? Oh my goodness, I’m driving in my “Subdued” mode frm Philly to NC coastal and in and around NC. Everyone so nice and friendly – can’t help but return the vibe..still feel like an aggressive asshole..prolly gonna take a while to uncondition myself..
I asked my son when he moved to Boston if they had road rage.
His answer: “Mother, they invented it here!”
Boston is absolutely the WORST city I have ever had to drive in. Been there many times over the years and they never seem to get better at driving in that metro complex. Traffic light turns Red? You just tuck up super close to the car in front of you and 10 to 15 cars will go through that red light at high speed each one right on the bumper of the car in front of it.. (first time I drove my wife through Boston I told about that before we got there … she didn’t believe me … within 30 minutes she was an OMG pale faced believer since I just did what the locals were doing!!! – or I would have been rear ended – LOL)
NOT…necessarily…It’s really not about people being nicer in one place than another. A lot of what we read as friendliness or coldness comes down to population density , cultural norms , and how tightly connected a community is.
In small rural areas , most people are related in some way or have known each other for generations , so eye contact and conversation feels natural . In big cities for instance people look at the sidewalk not because they’re rude , but because that’s how you create personal space when you’re surrounded by thousands of strangers .
Different environments teach different social behaviors… In some cultures its proper in making direct eye contact that is considered a sign of respect; in others , it’s considered confrontational and challenging their position in the hierarchy.. In some places you remove your shoes before entering a home such as the client i had that was from Ukraine ..in others, belching after a meal is a compliment . None of these behaviors are ‘friendlier’ or ‘ruder’ — they’re just different ways of navigating the world and the various cultures and traditions…
I had a friend that had acquired the CMH by doing the right thing..he deserved two of them..while stationed in a middle east country he like most men are a little sloppy..and wanted to hire a housekeeper..women were not allowed to work..faces covered and walk twelve steps behind her husband..the only way was to buy her..so he bought his maid at a local auction..it wasn’t and still isn’t culturally acceptable for women to get an education.. she wanted to learn and became one of the top two hundred female doctors in the who’s who of the most influential doctors of the world..she doesn’t know I know her back story it was shared to me in a conversation I had as a child about women..he was like a father to me in the military..
The same thing applies to neighborhoods dealing with poverty or instability… People adapt to the expectations around them…Young women may invest heavily in appearance because their environment pressures them to , and young men may drive expensive cars even while living in difficult conditions because status symbols become a form of protection or identity… you know in business or upper scale neighborhoods its called dress for success.. drive a caddie because it implies your socially acceptable.. one reason why used caddies Mercedes etc. are the cheapest cars on a lot..those that can afford the maintenance only want a new one…. Many of these kids grow up without consistent adult guidance, relying instead on media or local peer culture to define what’s normal….which is why I dislike mainstream media.. they expose and glorify actions that are totally inappropriate.
So in my humble opinion… it’s not necessarily that one place has better people than another…. It’s that every environment shapes its own survival strategies , social, cultural and religious rules , and ways of interacting… What feels warm and open in one context might feel totally unsafe or inappropriate in another… Understanding the area is really makes it easier to see people for who they are… like the two little girls that survived the ghetto of Seattle..great kid’s hard workers..smart..My own kids essentially disrespected and blocked them out..became more critical of them shying away and even talking disrespectful about and to them.. it was not just the environment that they came from but also because of their economic situation.. how they dress..their parents are poor..couldn’t afford to buy them the latest fashions..good kids judged not for who they are but because of their income status..
I see the same thing myself.. due to my opinions and life struggles I am often avoided .. you dont see a great deal of visitors at my place..if we have a cookout a visitor or someone stopping by is offered food and drink or the first plate..( I am a believer and follower if the DAO and Confucian traditions ..check out tea ceremony )…lol lol lol.. I truly don’t give much concern about what someone else has ..they worked for it.. struggled paid the price in getting what they have…I believe the big fear in those neighborhoods is..those that don’t fit in their social world want their crap..sorry to inform them but I for one have more than enough crap of my own living in my neighborhood lol lol.. I don’t put value in crap deal comes and goes..its the person I see as valuable..
Same locations for recruiting top notch Engineering Students. Smart, Used to hard work(farming), with “can do” attitudes. Fertile recruiting grounds indeed.
3p, you failed to notice how that data is skewed, high ranking States had the least SAT participants, compared to lower SAT scores in high participation States:
https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/sat-scores-by-state :
The following ten states had the highest average SAT scores: Wisconsin (1252), Wyoming (1244), Kansas (1238), Utah (1233), Mississippi (1226), Minnesota (1225), Nebraska (1222), Kentucky (1219), South Dakota (1219), and North Dakota (1212). Other states with average scores over 1200 include Montana, Tennessee, and Missouri. All thirteen of these states have participation rates between 1% and 6%, most likely indicating that only the highest-performing students took the SAT in 2022.
The following ten states had the lowest SAT scores: West Virginia (938), Oklahoma (951), Delaware (968), Idaho (968), Rhode Island (971), New Mexico (976), Illinois (981), Florida (983), the District of Columbia (985), and Michigan (1000). Participation rates were much higher among these states, with most states having 84% to 100% participation, except for Oklahoma, which had 17%, New Mexico with 42%, and Delaware with 65%.
I failed nothing.
I simply reported the facts.
That is irrelevant.
Neither truth nor facts are important to the troll. The troll exists to be noticed and their means to that end is to foment discord. A troll will say anything or cite any garbage from any source which backs their troll, no matter how irreputable the source or how strained their logic. This is also why they make veiled insults or crash a thread and post something off-topic to that thread. It gets attention, and sates their need to feel superior in their inferiority. It also often elicits an emotional response from people whose factual or logical knowledge is unimpeachable.
BTW, my old friend, the professional troll, has come back into my life. He taught me how to deal with a troll when I was a site Admin, but has apparently forgotten how I made him go away the last time. Shame. He is quite intelligent, but like all trolls, is about as smart as a bag of hammers…
lower case c ,,, it all depends,,, from a simple inQuire. Brave search engine
“Nebraska’s ACT participation rate is significantly higher than its SAT participation rate.
ACT Participation: Approximately 95% of Nebraska high school graduates in the Class of 2024 took the ACT. This is because Nebraska administers the ACT to all public high school juniors through the Nebraska Student-Centered Assessment System (NSCAS ACT).
SAT Participation: Only about 1% of Nebraska graduates took the SAT, as it is not widely used or mandated in the state.
This stark contrast means the ACT is the dominant college entrance exam in Nebraska, while the SAT is taken only by a small number of students, typically those applying to out-of-state colleges that may prefer or require it. “
Same thing for ACT scores, the higher percentage of students taking the test automatically drops the overall average test score:

Where economic barriers shape who even gets the opportunity to demonstrate academic ability…….
I would essentially be laughed out of any school of higher learning.. Economic barriers don’t just limit access to education — they shape who even gets the chance to demonstrate academic ability in the first place . I learned that firsthand . In the cabinet shop where I worked , the company had a program: if you could identify a change that saved ten thousand dollars a year , you’d get taken out to the country club with the CEO. For years I only submitted serious , practical suggestions that would have improved operations . It took a supervisor quietly telling me I was seen as ‘a good human mule… for me to understand the truth: without the right credentials and without the right piece of paper, my ideas weren’t taken seriously no matter how effective they were.
Once I realized that, I stopped offering real Practical solutions and started submitting harmless, almost silly suggestions — and ironically those suggestions were good enough , that I was still invited out every month to the country club every month for over a decade.
That experience taught me something important: people are often judged not by their abilities, but by the environment they come from and the status they’re assumed to have. A test score or a diploma can open doors, but their absence can close minds. Intelligence isn’t the issue — perception is.
The hilarious one..was the CEO hated for a peon to get desert….it rankled him upside one downside the other… I figured out how to get dessert and the meal..the month before I left. they posted a big sheet on the bulletin board.. no one will be allowed to get dessert from this point forward…
later I ran into one of the bosses and the comment was made they didn’t realize how hard I worked..seems no one else wanted to be a mule.. and they would have been a lot more appreciative.. I said yeah..no dessert really was a big deal..it wasn’t why I left ….
(““Where is the IQ central point of America?” I eliminated the East and West Coasts…”
Based on the most recent College Board Review data, here are the states with the highest average total SAT scores:”)
I have said before I believe these tests are pointless….. everyone is a genius in their own way..When we talk about intelligence, we often default to academic metrics — test scores, degrees, professional titles. But those measures only capture one narrow slice of human capability.
Environments shape the kind of intelligence people have to develop . Someone who grows up in a stable , resource ? rich setting learns to rely on systems designed to work…they have essentially placed their survival to… utilities, institutions, predictable infrastructure . That produces one form of competence , but it also means many essential survival skills are outsourced….
In contrast to people who live in unstable or resource ? scarce environments they are forced to develop a very different kind of problem?solving ability to fit their life . They learn to read social cues for safety… navigate unpredictable situations , improvise solutions with limited materials , and adapt quickly when systems fail… It’s a life of practical intelligence — the kind that emerges from necessity , not textbooks . The Marine motto ‘adapt, improvise, overcome’ applies here: resilience becomes a daily practice, not a slogan.
it has become my most honored motto to..full of meaning..
In the event of a catastrophic event and the systems we depend on break down , academic credentials don’t automatically translate into functional problem ? solving… The ability to use what’s available , think creatively under pressure , and respond to real ? world constraints becomes far more valuable . That’s not about glorifying hardship — it’s simply recognizing that intelligence is a multidimensional reality , and because different environments cultivate different strengths and weaknesses….
Even the standardized test scores reflect this… In many rural or low ? population states , only a small , college ? bound subset of students takes the SAT , which naturally inflates the averages seen. While in larger urban areas, a far broader and more economically diverse group participates in those tests , which changes the distribution . Where economic barriers shape who even gets the opportunity to demonstrate academic ability….
The point i am thinking of is simple… genius or intelligence isn’t a single trait… It’s the capacity to solve the problems in front of you with the resources you have available to you . And that capacity shows up in boardrooms , in classrooms , and just as often on the streets — shaped by circumstances of the life they are surviving in, and not in status or a test score..
A test score is only a narrow snapshot of academic performance under artificial conditions… It measures how well someone responds to a standardized prompt , not how well they navigate the complexity of real life . Once you step outside the controlled environment of the exam room , adaptability , resilience , creativity , and situational problem ? solving matter far more than the number on a score sheet . In the real world , systems fail , conditions constantly change , and resources aren’t guaranteed . Under those circumstances, the ability to think flexibly and respond to reality — not a test —determines outcomes….

(“How the FUCK do you think those kids got the high test scores in first place ?

they absolutely do work their butts off..No one is denying that those kids work incredibly hard. They absolutely do. ( I have 14 grandkids that have met those goals.. and excelled in college academia) My point isn’t that their effort is any less real or that their test scores don’t reflect dedication. It’s that their ability to reach that level of performance is shaped by the social and economic conditions around them. Access matters. Stability matters. Resources matter.
A high score doesn’t automatically mean someone is ‘better’ or more intelligent — it often means they had the opportunity to focus on academics without the barriers that hold other students back.
When a child grows up with reliable housing, consistent nutrition, quiet study space, tutoring, and schools with strong funding, they’re operating within a completely different set of parameters than a child who has to navigate instability, scarcity, or unsafe environments. A child living in the hood has very little opportunity to excell..a child that speaks only Spanish or has grown in the social environment will have greater odds of failin……
Even Albert Einstein was considered below standard at one point in his early life. His teachers saw him as slow , unfocused , or underperforming because he didn’t fit the narrow academic mold they were measuring . History is full of people whose abilities weren’t recognized by the systems evaluating them . That’s the point I’m making: a test score or a classroom ranking doesn’t define intelligence . It defines how well someone fits the structure they were placed in … Access, environment , and opportunity shape who gets recognized — not raw potential.
Hard work exists in both places — but the runway isn’t the same. That’s the only point I’m making…. It’s the same reason I’ve always told my grandkids: BE THE BLIND MAN . Judge people for who they are , not for the environment they come from or the social class they represent . Intelligence isn’t something you measure with letters and numbers on a sheet of paper .
A test score can only tell you how someone performed on a specific day under specific conditions…

I’ve worked those twenty four hour shifts.
I’ve read more books than most people ever guess. What held me back wasn’t a lack of ability — it was the way I learned to shrink myself when I was young just to fit into the environment I lived in.
When you grow up in an economic mix where survival takes priority , you don’t get the luxury of being honed in one direction the way academia does for kids who have stability and support.
I didn’t have a system shaping me, guiding me, or polishing me. I had to shape myself while working , surviving , and adapting to the situations that were in my path.
So even though I read constantly, I never had the focused runway that traditional education gives.
That doesn’t mean I wasn’t capable — it means my environment demanded a different kind of intelligence . And once you spend years dumbing yourself down to blend in, it takes a long time to reclaim the parts of yourself you had to hide…
in my case I never rose above the social parameters I live within….

I’ve said for years that so much of the world comes down to frequency. You can split hydrogen with surprisingly low voltage if you hit the right resonant frequency. Tesla believed the same thing — his so?called ‘earthquake machine’ was basically a mechanical oscillator , and when he tested it on a steel building , he stopped because he could feel the whole structure responding . That’s resonance in action… his is show for was what less than a pound…
Mythbusters…
https://youtu.be/oSB-nmlbkdA?si=mHYzCNfuG3mvw1Ti
Plants, soil, water, metals, buildings — everything has a natural frequency. When you match it, even a small input can create a big effect. It’s the same principle behind earth batteries, plant bioelectric signals, and why certain systems suddenly come alive when the frequency is just right.
There was a Japanese study that really stuck with me because it showed how much plants respond to frequency and energy. When they were exposed to harmonic sound — soft voices, gentle music, tones that carried care — the plants actually grew stronger and healthier. But when they were neglected or surrounded by harsh, chaotic, or stressful noise, they struggled. It wasn’t about the style of music so much as the frequency and emotional tone behind it.
Texas theory lines up with the idea I have that everything has a natural frequency .
Just like hydrogen can be split more easily when you hit the right resonance , or how Tesla’s oscillator made a whole building vibrate , living things respond to the vibrations around them . Plants, people, structures — everything reacts when the frequency is either supportive or disruptive

Summer solstice: ~14.2 hours

I’ll be going with: [ just for the hell of it.]
The geographic center of the 48 contiguous or conterminous United States, determined in a 1918 survey, is located at 39°50?N 98°35?W, about 2.6 miles (4.2 km) northwest of the center of Lebanon, Kansas, approximately 12 miles (19 km) south of the Kansas–Nebraska border. The determination is accurate to about 20 miles (32 km). [ Commonly referred to as “Being somewhere in the middle of nowhere.” ]
I will be loading this into Python.., or maybe Mathematica.., right now – it is all up on the White Board [ “The Mrs” frowned, deeply, when she saw me standing-n-studying at the White Board.., and asked if I was going away for a few days? – Had to reassure her that this wasn’t a paid research project.., just a great idea that needs a little exploring. – she still frowned., but nodded in understanding. At least I wasn’t smacked with a blunt-heavy object.]
I like the idea – never seen any thing quite like it. There was a Phd paper with kind / sorta the same idea (growth-to-decay flip.., but it was for civilizations – if I remember correctly. ) I have a few serious questions – but they will probably be answered as I go along. Using Tesla was a good idea.., I am thinking of using the S&P500 Index as the base…, more stable and less reactionary to a single voice., or commentators’ opinion., and a deeper data set.

I like it a lot !
This is one way my book downsizing could work…definancialization! Recapitalization on what matter.
The soil battery.. and the pyramid earth grid…
The more I look into it, the more it seems like the Earth itself is part of a giant energetic system . An earth battery whitch is simple science — two different metals in the ground produce a voltage . But when you scale that idea up , you start noticing patterns everywhere.
Many ancient structures, including pyramids around the world , all sit on geological lines rich in minerals , groundwater , and conductive stone . Some people call it a global pyramid grid , not because we know it was a power network, but because the alignments are extremely hard to ignore .
When I combine that with what I know and believe about frequency — from plants responding to harmonic sounds and generating an electric flow , to Tesla’s resonance experiments on his earthquake machine , to how hydrogen splitting more easily at the right vibration — it all points to the same idea conclusion I’ve had for years.. everything has a natural frequency , and when you match it , even small energy inputs can create big effects . Whether ancient cultures understood this fully or symbolically , the Earth , plants , and even stone structures all interact with energy in ways we’re only beginning to understand again..
I once saw a video where children were told to break a huge boulder . Each one was given only a small stone and told to tap the same spot over and over .
At first it looked pointless — tiny taps against something massive . But eventually the whole boulder cracked apart . It wasn’t strength that did it , it was resonance and repetition…
That’s the same idea behind the theory i have of so many natural systems . Hydrogen splits more easily when you hit the right frequency .. Tesla’s Vibrating oscillator that shook a steel building because he matched its natural vibration…Plants respond to harmonic sound and wither under chaotic noise… Even the Earth itself acts like a battery when the right materials and conditions line up… two different metals..who would have thought..
This is actually the perfect place for me to point out that the same principles of resonance and energy apply to people too — especially growing children… The environment they’re surrounded by , the tone of the home is it filled with tension and struggles.., the emotional ‘ frequency ‘ they absorb its effects every day… it all shapes their thoughts , actions , and sense of stability . Just like plants respond to harmonic sound and wither under chaotic noise , kids thrive when the energy around them is supportive and consistent.
the same idea carries over into how I think about energy systems . A centralized grid is like a tree with one trunk — strong , but vulnerable.
If we built small solar towers at substations and offered grid – tied solar systems to homes , each house becomes a node , like roots and branches . The whole system becomes more resilient , more distributed , and less likely to fail from a single point of weakness… hey isn’t that similar to the pyramids placed in grid fashion around the globe???? lol lol just my opinion..
I believe that nature already shows us the blueprint… strong networks grow from many connected parts the yin and the yang , not one giant source . Whether it’s plants , children , or national infrastructure , the healthiest systems are the ones that distribute energy , support , and stability throughout the whole structure.
Once we forget about the whole and focus only on the centralized systems and their control , everything eventually starts to crumble . Nature shows us this over and over . A tree survives because of its roots, branches , and the entire network working together as the perfect solar power generation system — its not because of one central point . The same is true for our countries energy systems, communities , and even human development… Strength comes from a distributed support structure , shared responsibility , and many interconnected parts working in total harmony. Because we have ignored the wider system for one as a centralized power system , we have essentially weakened the very structure we’re trying to protect….
Consider the Rural Electrification Project that was actually built on the idea of a complete , interconnected system… It wasn’t just about running wires 9 which it has morphed into) — it was about creating a network where every home , farm , and community became part of the whole .
Tesla’s AC current made that possible because AC is essentially a harmonic waveform frequency . It resonates , it travels , it steps up and down through transformers , and it can move long distances with minimal loss . DC, by contrast , behaves like a centralized system — powerful at the source, but it fades quickly and doesn’t distribute well and takes more brute force .
From my perspective It’s the same pattern we see everywhere.. but n nature and physics…the systems thrive when energy flows through many nodes , not when everything depends on one central point… Nature works that way… Trees work that way. Even human communities work that way as an r example of the perfect solar power grid… When we forget the whole and rely too heavily on centralized control , the system becomes extremely fragile .
But when we build networks — whether electrical, social, or ecological — everything becomes stronger , more resilient , and more in harmony with the way the world naturally operates…

Recent reviews of today’s date suggest the game ultimately fails to execute its program properly.

re: Temple Hill, aka Washington Hilton
feat: C2 – ‘Command and Control’
Yesterday marked the first alleged attempted assassination of a sitting US president at the (#3-shaped?) Washington Hilton since that against #40 some 45 years and 26 days prior. From 1922 to the 1930’s, the lands the hotel occupies remained mostly undeveloped while its then Freemason ownership planned a new temple construction abandoned in 1929. Apparently only the Order of the Eastern Star [Sirius?] (allegedly separately affiliated with young girl groups such as Organization of Triangles of New York) held some meetings on the property during that period.
The alleged perp of the 2026 attack is said to have had prior tutorial employment with a private educator whose partial C2 moniker coincides with the U.S. Army Field Manual 3-0 short form entry. His Californian place of abode is named after real estate developer Mr. Jared Torrance who actually lived in Pasadena. As a little old lady so to speak, Mrs. Torrance published her late husband’s tome about the family history in 1923 which is available on “Archive”. It seems the Godfather of a Torrance Brig. Gen. knighted Irish ancestor was the Duke of Wellington of Waterloo fame. The knight’s great x3 grandfather had reached Ireland in 1690 as a Dutch count to King William III of the House of Orange.
Mr. Torrance details a family legend that his Torrance/Torrens family line descends from Torigny of Manche, France. Torigny may derive from the Gallo-Roman place Tauriniacum (“Estate of the Bull”). A famous post-Conquest son of the place was diplomat and bibliophile, Robert of Torigny, abbott of Normandy tourist attraction Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel and a friend of King Henry II. Abbott Torigny co-authored “Gesta Normannorun Ducum” (Deeds of the Norman Dukes) sometime prior to 1186 ad.

If it approaches 200% as it did in 1999 and 2000, you are playing with fire.” We are at 227%

Eyes open Len. If it’s coming here, it’s likely coming everywhere within the next 2-3 years. Tesla’s “collision avoidance” is orders of magnitude better than everyone else’s. Like with the anti-skid and rollover techs of the 2000s, our government decreed that Tesla’s tech is too important for “highway safety” to remain proprietary. Therefore, it must be shared and implemented with every automaker. The interior cameras and onboard AI are a part of the deal. Ford has built on Tesla’s tech and some intrusive bastard at NHTSA has determined that its a good idea — thus the above video warning. Canada piggybacks off our NHTSA rules & regs, so this is already implemented in Canada. Oz will get it next, probably even before Japan and Korea. Sorry ’bout that…

The Iranian delegation posed beneath a painting. ChatGPT suggests the work is a print with an affixed ‘for sale’ tag derived from “The Path in the Forest”. The original 1886 work is by Russian artist Ivan Shishkin from the School of Realism. A potted tropical plant, a fiddle-leaf fig, stood to one side of the artwork.
