Don’t do drugs

Don’t do sex

I’m indigenous Canadian and both my parents survived residential school in the 50s. Residential school for indigenous people back then was forced on us, especially for children where they were systematically abused by Christian missionaries. Mom was not so abused but dad was terribly traumatized to the point where sex and anything sexual or remotely sexual was forbidden. Just about everything in life to him meant burning in everlasting hell. Drugs were no different but less so.

So our indigenous Christian home just dealt with it all by forbidding everything.

How did it turn out?

I have seven siblings and we all ended up with alcohol and drug addiction by the time we were teenagers. I cleaned up early and I’ve been sober for 29 years, all my other siblings never fell off the deep end (thank God) but I’m the only one who got officially ‘sober’.

I didn’t have kids but everyone else in my family did before anyone was married. One of my younger brothers picked up the slack for me by having children with four women. I have over 40 nieces and nephews, some by the family, some brought in, some married in and others illegitimate.

We’re all one big happy family … but we’re all gonna burn in hell. Lol

Mine is wear a medical grade mask in public spaces.

It does multiple things.

First it protects you from air borne pathogens like viruses and especially COVID.

Second, if you are confronted or people get mad at you for wearing one, it immediately let’s you know what kind of people are around. If they’re the type that will get mad at you for wearing a mask, it’s definitely a place to leave and avoid in the future. A mask is a great way to weed people out in public.

My wife has lifelong lung problems now and we can’t risk any infections. So wearing a mask is necessary for me … and at this point in my life, it’s normal now and I find that it’s normal for most people. 90% of the people that see me in a mask notice but immediately understand and don’t make an issue of it. It’s 10% of the loudest idiots that make it a problem and a mask is a great way to unmask them (pun intended)

I always knew the English suffered from oral diarrhea diarrhoea

I also like the science behind particles like neutrinos blasting their way through everything in space and matter, even through our own bodies and cells. Every once in a while, one of those tiny particles hits a piece of DNA at just the right spot to cause a chain reaction that leads to a new minor or major mutation in the next generation. It’s generally thought that this kind of physics is one of forces that drive evolution of all lifeforms on our planet.

We are made of star stuff … and we are and will always be affected by star energy.

Not only is it stupid for exaggeration but for also glossing over the idea that it’s logical, sensible or moral for any person to own so much wealth that they would never be able to enjoy even just 1% of that during a single lifetime.

It’s completely absurd also from the thought that as one person owns enough wealth to pay for the lives of millions of people … millions of people are living in complete poverty and starvation.

We look through ancient history and laugh at the thought of our ancestors who worshipped kings, queens, god men, emperors and all powerful leaders … we’re still doing the same thing.

These thoughts don’t just reflect on people like Musk but on all of us for thinking and accepting that this is all normal behavior for what we all like to think is a modern sophisticated society.

Isn’t that basically the mechanism of how early complex cells formed millions of years ago.

First it was just basic cells … they fed off one another and at one point … one cell became incorporated into the other and essentially evolved into an organ of the cell … like mitochondria inside the cell, isn’t it basically thought that it was one it’s own organism at one point and just evolved into an organ inside other cells.

Same with the human body. I think the estimate is that we are only about 50% of our own generated cells and the rest is just other beneficial cooperative bacteria our body has evolved to take advantage of.

So the Sarlac taking you in is just incorporating you into it’s body for some function and keeping you alive to fulfill that role … you just happen to be conscious of it and unable to escape the entire time over a thousand years.

+1 for The Chrysalids … read it on English class in high school and loved it

But why maintain bridges to places where you don’t want to go?

I don’t think so because every so often in my life people have told me to … go fuck myself

It’s an act that many of us would condone for others … especially Larry, he’s a real jerk, he can go fuck himself

Come sit right back and hear a tale
A tale of a short space flight trip
That started from this space port
Abroad this cheaply made ship

The mate was a clueless man
The skipper was equally unsure
Two mindless spacecraft men took off that day
For an eight day tour, an eight day tour

Lol … society is suffering from the same short comings and ignorance humanity has always dealt with.

Our made up kings and queens believe they own the world and are surprised when they don’t have full control over anything or anyone.

Mining CEO: is there a cheaper way to deliver this mineral rich material to the surface of the earth?

Mining scientist: YES! We can redirect the asteroid towards the planet and make it land on the surface!

Mining CEO: how much will this cost?

Mining scientist: probably billions of lives.

Mining CEO: … No no … I mean how much money will this save us and how much money will we make?

I do agree that we are very inventive, capable and imaginative when it comes to solving great problems.

Unfortunately we are also capable of becoming very destructive, ignorant, selfish and absolutely brutal to one another especially under a lot of stress and anxiety.

My greatest fear in the coming decades is mass migration and entire populations of people moving to places where they won’t be welcome, and people in places where everyone is relocating to worried that it will engage endanger their survival. The biggest problems we’ll face won’t be environmental… they will be political and social.

Guards: … please come with us, Emperor Max has ordered us to arrest you

We don’t need a higher birth rate … we need a better quality of life for everyone.

What kind of umbrella would be required in each world?

Deniers are the people in the car who saw the sign and didn’t tell anyone

Scientists are the people in the car who told everyone about the sign they saw 30 minutes ago but everyone ignored them and didn’t believe them.

We can’t see or judge the tipping point anymore because we already passed it.

It’s like looking for that highway road sign without realizing you drove past it half an hour ago.
