Reflections on the State of Humanity Worldwide in 2025

 This is not the CIA factbook, if you want statistic on economies go ahead and look that up, these my friends are reflections on industrialization, unfair trade between nations, depleted uranium bullets machine gunning death for warfare when murder official illegal in most countries. 

Children abducted into windowless panel vans on their walk home from school, injected with illegal drugs to hook them as they are inducted without volition into childhood sex trafficking rings patronized by people with deep pockets & no morality. 

This is about nuclear bombing Nagasaki & Hiroshima in world war two by the allies to take power back from the AXIS or nazi party who made pride out of putting people in gas chambers for mass murderer vaporizing chemical weapons into their air unto mass murder when liberal woke people today want to take away gun rights of honest people because some psychopaths as deranged as Adolf Hitler have gone on shooting rampages killing random people, like those boys did at Columbine High School. 

Titanium foam in aerospace satellites that cost $400 million to make in clean rooms assembled by scientist slowly while they are wearing polymer bunny suits to keep body dust & skin cells off the highly valuable imaging sensors or similar ultra complex ultra rare one-off custom-made optics of spy satellites. Directed energy weapons shooting microwave lasers called masers that destroy drone electronics at the speed of light over vast distances of hundreds of miles vastly faster than any bullet. 

I am talking about putting the internet into jewelry called smart rings or smart watches connected over Bluetooth to smartphone that when overused actually make people less intelligent, making the smart term deeply ironic, & it makes me wonder what people who are dependent on smartphones to function do when their phone runs out of battery charge. A coworker of mine showed up late for work today because his alarm on his phone did not go off because he forgot to charge the phone & it ran out of battery charge while he was sleeping. 

It's been illegal to use a smartphone while driving for several years locally, yet every day I am out driving the School Bus, sitting up high enough that I can easily see into most car cabins nearby where I observe the drivers of such cars using apps on their smartphone like social media or similar for "hook ups" or to look upon graven images, you probably know what I mean, as they weave and bob their car between the yellow lane boundary & white fog line in traffic dangerously. Statistically speaking using a smartphone while driving up to 26X or 2600% more dangerous than driving drunk with a high blood alcohol level, and in a large part the science of distracted driving supports this evidence which is a majority reason why law makers passed laws to make it illegal to use a smartphone while driving a car. 

Many people have been incarcerated in America for minor drug charges while the drug companies or large pharmaceuticals profit selling hormone blocking drugs that parents are giving to pre-teens to prevent puberty, or anxiety drugs to people who really just needed an honest hug. Many prescription drugs have killed millions of people over the last 100 years of synthetic chemical witchcraft small molecule drugs, while aborted babies are the source of the input cells to manufacture MAP & PAB biologics or trending large molecule medications prescribed for conditions that are caused by dietary imbalances, namely excess food overnutrition in rich countries or malnutrition in poor countries. 

UPF or ultra processed foods are made with synthetic chemical coloring agents that could never be eaten as food since these additives are not edible in any normal sense & could easily constitute a dangerous, hazardous, poisonous or toxic substance if consumed in a spoonful quantity. Artificial flavors & artificial self-life enhancing substances, all questionable & most of these 10,000 + FDA approved chemical additives to UPF foods have been banned or prohibited in other countries since 2011, while RFK Junior claims to care about how such is making so many Americans sick with many kinds of cancer for example, since many of the questionable food additives are carcinogens or classified as carcinogenic as in they are known to cause cancers. 

How about traffic jams that last many hours of stress & breathing in tailpipe fumes known to contains toxic substances harmful to human health? How about the CCP paying the Wuhan Institute of Virology to design, create & mass manufacture Sars-CoV-2 that caused the COVID19 debacle worldwide, estimates of the damages caused by COVID now reaching more than $9 trillion dollars. 

Concrete jungles in urban cities where intelligence agents deliberately introduced crack cocaine back then or fentanyl today. I am talking about mail theft, online fraud, fraud targeting elderly people, fake text scams, fake voice messages scams, robocalls, sleazy car salesman & sleazy lawyers who chase ambulances. What is a lifetime warranty? Whose lifetime are we talking about? How about English as a giant Meme since every letter of the alphabet can be silent in some English word. When the British went on an imperial crazy in the 1800's they were not exactly friendly to the people of the colonies they created worldwide. 

Air pollution emitted by the biggest wealthiest companies in the world as Satan roams around as the prince of the air of this world seeking to kill, steal & destroy, as in people's minds, hearts, & souls, causing people to do heinous sick immoral evil things to other people, especially damaging nature & ecosystems with toxic emissions driving extinction rates higher daily. 

How about wristwatches that cost more than a nice helicopter with a turbine engine system & triple redundant glass cockpit electronics featuring autopilot functions & other pilot assist features. Income inequality so vast now that 4 people in the United States who are household names have more money than 50% of the American people. Within 5 years a projection estimates that the world's first trillionaire will exist. There are people buying things you cannot even pronounce, while the ones who know don't care about anyone else & the ones who care about all people don't know. 

God see's all of this, every bit of it & nothing can be hidden from the Lord our God & master creator of all in all realms of existence. God is bigger than the universe & every other realm he created that people have virtually no knowledge of. God perpetual infinite & totally beyond human comprehension. We can only Love God sincerely & incredibly God wants a relationship with every person in all of history. Anyone anywhere at any time can pray unto the Lord our God and ask for God to become real to them, for God to convict their heart, appear to them in their dreams, enabling them to turn away from a life of habitual sin unto being sanctified as a honest decent person redeemed by faith unto being kind & polite & treating all other people, animals & nature with dignity & respect. 

That means that polluters or the people that profit from polluting the world are evil idolators who place profits about other people's wellness & place profit making above God & who worship money & wealth. 

Humans Kill, Abuse, Hurt, Cheat, Betray, Steal From, Blow Up, Shoot, Burn, Cut, Murder, other People, WTF is Wrong With US?

This might sound harsh but know that it comes from a sad spot on the inside from realizing all the victims' lives have been taken slain & destroyed for no reason by insane people who don't understand common sense of humanitarian ethics to do right to other people or treat other people with kindness or to treat other people with dignity & respect. 

I am talking about child sex trafficking, modern slavery today, unfair trade, currency manipulation, nuclear fucking bombing people to win world wars, space satellites that cost hundreds of millions while billions of people live in abject poverty, unfair housing & food prices, income inequality, elder poverty, mental illness, chemical weapons applied in agriculture sickening people with preventable cancer to line someone else's pockets who is already so wealthy they want for nothing. 

People incarceration on felonious charges when they didn't commit a crime, suicide bombers strapped up with artificial manmade explosives ready to blow to murder other people senselessly, or the most evil thing people have ever come up with landmines that sit around over time waiting to blow of the legs of innocent children who accidently happen to wander off & step on one in Cambodia. 

How about what the Nazi Party did with gas chambers to Jewish people at concentration camps, is that a happy topic. Its people doing sick things to other people, PEOPLE. Most cringy of all is that American's today are so self-absorbed they don't care about anything unless it hits their personal budget. As long as things are going ok at their job, as long as they are comfortable, they do give two cents about helping anyone else. 

How about home invasions. What kind of whacked out sicko does an armed home invasion. Public shootings, mass shootings, have you been paying any attention to what is happening. How about when someone calls 911 for help & the police show up & murder her because of a racist sicko hired as cop. How about Sars-CoV-2 engineered and manufactured at the Wuhan Institute of Virology with funding from the CCP or evil government of China, via PLA or the Chinese Army funding, it was a bioweapon exacted on the world to the tune of $9 trillion dollars in damages & the CCP did that on purpose. 

This post was inspired by reality & songs by Immortal Technique the rap artist & his geopolitically critical lyrics that happen to sound like a lot of my impressions of society today. 

Fridge & Pantry Abused by Fine People of Upstanding Character Who Do Not Abuse Drugs or Alcohol

Fridge & Pantry Abuse by Fine People

Many upstanding honest people who do not abuse drugs or alcohol hit up the pantry or fridge to cope with life's stresses or for "enjoyment" & who can fault someone for wanting ice-cream, a nearly universally appreciated or liked cold creamy tasty dessert. Ice cream or gelato a variation of it, popular around the world. In 1 or 2 servings sparingly consumed a few tens of times per year, this is probably relatively metabolically safe. But when something akin to ice-cream or soda pop consumed daily by inactive adults, it tends to favor the formation of pre-diabetes or if maintained for many years it can develop into obesity, insulin resistance, neuropathy or loss of feeling in the fingers & toes as fine capillaries are damaged by high blood sugars, or worse kidney failure & blindness from retinal damage or unhealing foot ulcers that result in mobility robbing amputations. 

Nutritional abuse common in wealthy industrialized countries or where western ultra processed foods in bags & boxes comprise much of diet

Sedentary or sitting around all the time lifestyle multiplies the damage of eating a highly refined ultra processed UPF heavy western industrial diet with more than 10,000 different food additives, many of which are synthetic analogs of prescription drugs added to make addictive

Sugary beverages are the worst, especially those with excess fructose. Fructose by itself in excess can only be processed by the Liver. Sucrose is half glucose which can be used by almost every cell in the body. Fructose a liver toxin like excess ethanol or alcohol, very similar

President Donald Trump does not drink alcohol in large part because he saw alcohol abuse destroy his older brother Fred Trump's life. This factual truth about how alcohol abuse destroys health an irrefutable fact beyond debate, when people consume many servings per day //

In a similar tone, food abuse gives rise to pre-diabetes or Type 3 diabetes at first, then if continued with too many added sugars, starches & carbs, it becomes obesity insulin resistance Type 2 diabetes, kidney & retinal damages, destruction of capillaries unto neuropathy & more

Sugars & Ethanol or Alcohol similar, especially fructose. In a dose dependent way, they damage the human liver cells & cause a variety of other health degrading damage to the body. As more servings are consumed the damage increases. Time, Dose, Body Water Content, Activity Level, there are many factors that influence how sugars & alcohol damage health. 

The precautionary principle applied to diet means as an adult its probably wise to investigate IF or intermittent fasting, long duration water-only fasting, & how western industrial ultra processed foods are unhealthy, or what real traditional diets are composed of, namely whole natural organic fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, meat, dairy, fish, chicken, botanical, biologic, organic, something that has been part of human diet, like olive oil or butter or lard, for thousands of years before industrial chemistry applied to processed foods sold in bags and boxes typically. 

Your Soul is an Energetic 4th Dimensional Celestial Being Created by God Himself

This encompasses your mind, emotions, will, & the 4th dimensional energetic form long referred to as the Human Soul, made before your body by God in heaven & imparted into your body during the divine spark of life that occurred when your father's sperm became one with your mothers' egg. From physics we know that energy never created or destroyed and only changes form, as in one kind of energy becomes another energy. 

Consider laser photons hitting a surface imparting heat production within the molecules of the surface struck by photon emissions from the etching, engraving or cutting laser. Moreover, if we consider a plasma cutter and how the electrical arc through which high pressure gas is blow able to cut through thick metal sheets like a hot knife through butter. 

Temperature, pressure, volume, and heat energy are related to valence electron exchanges in chemical reactions that give off energy as exothermic or absorb energy as endothermic since chemical bond formation involves valence electron exchanges. All chemical reactions are governed by valence or outermost orbital electrons exchanged between atoms with different outer orbital configurations related to the proton & neutron quantities in the nucleus of the different atoms. See The Periodic Tabel of the Elements #Physics #Chemistry

Blaise Pasca's Wager in Words 

Faith in God relies on a Logical Principle that it is safer to bet on God existing & believing in God during your finite time alive so that if this is true when you die your soul is not destroyed or sent back but released to live in blissful eternity in Heaven with God, in everlasting life along with Christ Jesus and others who you loved who passed away in the past. 

If God exists and you do not believe, that is hell, life without God, and Satan gets to torment people in such a state, as in the most horrible continually sleepless ongoing torture of unimaginable pain continually with no rest for eons. 

If God does not exist and you believe, then you wasted a bit of time engaging in religion
If God does not exist and you do not believe, then death lights out over dead & gone forever. 

Gunpowder, Fiat Currency & Covid 19 Virus

Thanks China (CCP) Great Work

I really like your fake cites of empty buildings rotting, fake theme parks never finished, copy of Paris city that is a ghost town that bloggers & youtubers visit to make fun of the CCP's lack of free market economic predictors giving rise to state planned economic blunders of many kinds. Special thanks for stealing designs, ideas, intellectual property, rewriting history, being liars at an institutional nation state level, for cloning & copying your way towards faked economy progress with your fake manipulated currency & despot leaders on the CCP. 

Let the world never forget the June 4th Incident or Tiananmen Square Massacre & the 20 year death campaign killing anyone who promoted democratic reforms at universities in China, oh and for murdering all the staff of the Wuhan Institute of Virology & then deleting all their files from the associated website to cover it up, assassinating your own people to cover your tracks for developing bioweapons that you plan to use in World War Three or WWIII. 

Celestial Pattern Recognition Imaginations Fantasy & Delusion

Firstly, the Earth is not the center of the universe as the church espoused during the Middle Ages. 

Secondly, the Moon is a silicate heavy rock without an atmosphere & less gravity than Earth & much smaller than Earth that orbits the Earth at about 250,000 miles away, though orbital decay means its gradually becoming closer to the Earth.

Third, the Earth & Moon orbiting the Earth are rotating around the Sun in solar orbit that takes about 365.25 days to complete, causing a leap year every 4th year, where there is one extra day to account for 4X 0.25= 1 #math 

Fourthly, Earth rotates on a tilted axis that is of critical importance to weather & seasons & climate on the Earth with enormous valuable commercial relevance to transportation, logistics, agriculture, & much more. 

Fifty, the Earth, Moon, other Planets orbiting the Sun are in our local solar system, which exists in a rural outer part with nothing nearby in one of the many spiral arms of the Milky Way Galaxy in which millions of other starts like the Sun also exist with planets orbiting the local stars, often in binary systems as two starts or multiple star systems with complex planetary orbiting between them & even more combinations.

Lastly & most importantly, there are trillions of galaxies like the Milky Way. Before space telescopes people had very limited evidence or understanding of any celestial observations since ground telescopes are restricted by atmospheric distortion from air temperature changes to air moisture content, aerosol in the air & other particles in the air that interact with sunlight, moon light, and even artificial light pollution bouncing manmade light emissions or light pollution off of clouds near the ground, or sky glare making it hard to see the Heavens or Space if you happen to live near a city where light pollution abounds.

Moreover, by the time the light gets to Earth or our space telescopes like JWST or the James Web Space Telescope the celestial photons emitted by other distant stars, many of which are far bigger than the Sun, a tiny GV2 class dim yellow star, that solar light from distant stars is ancient, thousands or millions or billions of years old by the time it reaches our eyes or CMOS or CCD detectors or imaging chips on Space Telescopes or digital cameras mounted to ground telescopes or arrays thereof in high deserts with minimal atmospheric distortion, like the Atacama desert. 

In other words when we look upon celestial light it's so old by the time it gets to us as information we have absolutely no idea what is actually happening in real time out there in distant parts of the universe because things are so far apart in Outerspace that it takes light photons many light years to reach the Earth & the farther away the star is emitting such photons of different frequencies the older the light is or the more out of date that information is. 

In other words, there exists a light speed boundary of what we can look at in space & actually know what is happening. A round-trip radio Message to Mars takes over 16 hours, so no real time radio between Earth and Mars when humans build a space station on Mars, they have to be able to operate without a real time data or voice link to Earth. '

That is just nearby to another nearby planet in own solar system. We have no hope of communicating even at the speed of light with other solar systems even nearby in the Milky Way. The nearest star to the Sun or our solar system is that of Alpha Centauri, which is 4.3 light years away, meaning it takes light at 3.0x10 to the 8th power meters per second four years to get to Earth from Alpha Centauri. 

When people started fitting human artwork to light patterns from stars in the universe, they are effectively doing creative pattern recognition or looking for something among chaos or entropy. We can see evidence of stars exploding in supernova & other evidence of stars forming in nucleosynthesis systems that are beautifully imaged by NASA & shared online for free for anyone to look at.

While I believe the Bible, the Christian Bible, word for word, I do not for a second believe in Astrology, or new age religions that look to star light in space in the sky of the Earth & start applying human image patterns to loosely connected bright star patterns, or how the stars are arrayed in relation to other stars as they appear from the Earth in the night sky. To me this sounds like childish flights of fancy if anything & tells me nothing about salvation in faith through Christ Jesus, or who God is, or how the Holy Spirit of God helps people with faith.

While I am a Christian, I think aerospace astronomy tells me nothing about faith in God. I turn to reading the Bible, usually at my wife's encouragement or request to learn about my faith, lately by reading letters that Paul wrote to other churches encouraging them to believe, trust in & rely on God, through a blood covenant in Christ Jesus. That sings to my soul, heart, mind, will & emotions. Sky patterns of pictures applied to start light seems like an artistic tangent, not tangible or real in any empirical or redeeming sense. Then again, I am not telling anyone else what to believe or how to find meaning in reality, only sharing my thoughts and understanding. 
 

Happy Friday

Thank you for visiting my blog :) Peace be with you & praise be to God

Eternity in heaven or hell, your choice. Either love God or do not love God

Are you willing to bet your soul on this? Everyone dies eventually & faced God for final judgment

Free for anyone to call out with prayer unto God anywhere at any time

Ask the Lord master creator of all in all realms, "Lord God, become real to me, help me to love you" in the Holy name of Christ Jesus, father God, send me the Holy Spirit & convict me to stop habitually sinning & to turn away from sin, become part of my mind, my body, my choices, my thoughts, Lord come into me & let me trust not on my own understanding but instead in all my ways acknowledge you father God so that you may direct my paths, Amen (Let it be so) 

Everything in this life on Earth is temporary, everyone running out of time alive, so think about how money & titles have no meaning in the afterlife, when you die but your soul made of energy continues on since even in physics we know that energy is never created or destroyed but only changes form, namely in the case of a human person, our thinking, our mind, our soul, our spirit is made of energy & thus does not die but lives on in another dimension, but to God to heaven to live with God in the afterlife you have to make a choice to have a loving relationship with God in this life, by setting yourself aside as in sanctified to be made clean by the saving redeeming blood of Christ Jesus who died for anyone who is willing to love God as Christ loved God & taught his followers or disciples. 

I am not selling anything here, Google took away my blog ad revenue years ago because I violated the TOS but they will not tell me which postings or how to fix it, so I continue on posting with the spirit of helping other people achieve salvation in Christ Jesus, because I love other people & do not want anyone to go to hell. I want all people to be saved & live again with me & my loved ones who also loved God in heaven for eternity. I am not a pastor, do not operate a church, do not have a spiritual leadership role, I am just a random guy who turned a 180 in life away from being mean selfish & arrogant to being loving & kind especially to my beautiful, lovely wife Meg. Fa

Faith in GOd help me became a better son, better brother, better friend, better lover, better husband, better bus driver, every aspect of my life was remade, especially my heart, such that God allowed me to learn to love myself the way he intends & that overflows into love for everyone, all nature, the Earth, Heaven, God, Christ Jesus, Air, Water, Food, an appreciative thankfulness worldview that makes me feel better in all situations no matter what is happening. 

I found a way to find peace finally & share it with you. All you have to do is believe in God, ask God for help & he will help you to know him. Grab a Christian Bible & read Ephesians, its short & profound as Paul speaks from his heart to convict others to Love God sincerely, to become godly in character and personal conduct, making wise choices, using wise words that are blessing to other people who hear you speak, with gladness in your heart, a smile from the inside radiating out into every or any interaction you have with another person, or even in private remodeling the ways you think about yourself into an optimistic self-improving pathway to greater excellence during your remaining time alive. 

Tariff Trump Terrible Taxes Today Tumbling Turning Stock Market Collapse Edges Upward

Hold onto your ankles & smile, the US Economy going up and down with increasing uncertainty about how the Trump Tariff program of EFS will replace the IRS on Tax Day April 15th 2025

On social media a flurry of posts indicate a mixed reception of Tuesday Tax Day 2025. Many are complaining that they voted for Trump because he promised to replace the IRS with the EFS using tariffs to create federal revenue instead of taxing the marginalized American population who suffer largely because of how the dollar has lost most of its buying power, making homes, fuel, food, or all of life's basics more expensive, something we saw during COVID price spikes as supply chains without a buffer inventory ran out quickly, causing many thinks to become SO EXPENSIVE, though prices have normalized slightly now. 

Elk Valley gas station in Oregon was selling self serve gasoline for $3.50 a gallon when other stations were selling the same gas for $3.79 or $3.89 or $3.99 or in California $5.49, or $5.59 or $5.69 or incredibly $5.89 at one station in Trinidad, where Meg & I drove by & balked at the absurd pricing on our way to Beach Comber cafe where we met her sister A & nephew T for breakfast before driving more than 700 miles to get home. I bring up gas prices with examples because gasoline was selling for $0.99 per gallon when I started driving on roads legally in 1999-2000 near Seattle, 10 miles east in the Suburbs. During this time & slightly before it was possible to buy cigarettes with $1.75 or 7 quarters places into a metal tray edgewise into 7 slots, then you selected which brand & then shoved the metal tray into the machine & a box of 20 grade A cigarettes would come down a shoot ramp at the front. This cigarette vending machine was located in the entry of the local Denny's in Eastgate, Bellevue, WA, now it's a Korean Barbeque restaurant. 

Many packaged foods at the grocery store cost about the same, but they are smaller amounts, so you are paying more for the food, in many cases food is 2X or 3X or 4X more expensive than it was in the year 2000, making life more expensive, and in costly gentrified locals even starting a family a premium only available or affordable to high income couples. When having children becomes expensive fewer people choose to have children. In Japan this is very problematic today. In South Korea its becoming a big emerging inverted population problem. With nearly 8 billion people already alive perhaps a reduction in live births just a balancing of what many consider human over population, noted with radical traffic congestion in many cities worldwide or too many people trying to go the same way at the same time on the same roads, causing stop & go traffic that is stressful and annoying for many motorists. 

To look forward in the long run as an individual with an institutional investor mindset, its not about next quarter or short term gains, its about long term returns on investment. This means you invest now as a younger person so you have money so as to prevent elder poverty when you are older, if you are still alive then, which no one can guarantee but investments are like that too, subject to total loss of money invested, as companies go bankrupt sometimes for a variety of reasons or factors. Your mileage may vary. Lifetime warranty, who's lifetime? There are many funny expressions that do not make sense. What is in your wallet? Who are you? Who do you really know? Who can you trust? I would suggest with all sincerity that you only trust God the master creator of all in all realms. Other people are hit or miss like those hard to start hobby motors that sometimes fire up but other times refuse to start. I would say people on the whole are reasonably reasonable when times are good, but the gloves come off when they comment online & everyone knows it. People online say things they would never say in first person. That is part of why I love first person interactions and hate email. Do what you are unable to do & shove more life into your finite time alive, we are all running out of time to file our taxes :P

Dot Com Bubble Repeating as an AI Investment Bubble Pops in 2025

 Rising Interest Rates means investments in big tech companies are going to dry up before they can monetize their fancy AI products that are still years away from commercialization. Rising interest rates means college loans are crippling buying power of young people while elder poverty increasing because of the rising costs of basic life supplies of consumables like food & fuel prices, but also property tax increases, so even if they own a home purchased much cheaper long ago, now just the real estate excise taxes cost more per month than their original home loan costs, rendering millions of older Americans broke & home poor or what is the most unethical kind of poverty, elder poverty, because many older people are having health problems or disabilities that make it far harder or nearly impossible to obtain or secure gainful employment & should be able to retired and enjoy their golden years without having to compete against younger people. 

Warren Buffet hedge betting that the US economy will collapse in 2025, noting that the economy of China rapidly continually destabilizing & characterized the upcoming market failure to inflated investments in AI development that lacks any revenue generating aspect, all driven by hype & fluff of huge returns in the future, but so many trillions of dollars are locked up in speculative bubble formation investments in AI while its already been proven in academia that their exists an AI wall formation of exponentially increasing training costs as more parameters have to be set for increasing complex models and we are not talking about GROK or LLM's. We are talking about companies trying & failing to develop full self-driving LEVEL 5 vehicle autonomy control models or algorithms, and finding it nearly impossible because of the required 1 petabyte of compute performance for sensor fusion in milliseconds to prevent accidents in rapidly changing emerging situations in traffic in all weather conditions and all possible road situations such that an expert human driver way better than the hyped Level 3.1 best case example of Automotive Autopilot so far. 

Drove from Trinidad California to Issaquah Washington Yesterday

Meg & I went to visit her sister A who drove a little north to meet us at a cozy breakfast place in Trinidad, just about 30 minutes south of where we had been camping at Big Lagoon, a local park of Humbolt County, for $30 per night right next to the lagoon, though that was windy & noisy but also very beautiful. This was the first time I met A after having heard about her for many years & she brought her 12-year-old son T with her. I had a vegan sandwich packed with high fiber veggies & Meg had a lovely, tasty bagel covered in yummy goods of some kind. I drank a relatively sour espresso shot while Meg had a 12 oz drip coffee. We headed out at 9:15am to go North on Highway 101

We stopped 3 times at rest stops along the route to go pee, mostly along I5 North

We stopped for gas 1 time at an Indian Reservation called Elk Lodge (Casino) (something) where the gasoline was only $3.50 a gallon, whereas gasoline was selling for $5.89 per gallon in Trinidad. T had told us that was the cheapest place to get E10 gasoline since he & his father F take custom made DIY sand-rails on a custom-made trailer that F fabricated towed behind his truck to Coos Bay Oregon where the sand dunes are best & told me that Steve's ATV the best place to rent one during our warm summer road trip in July 2025. 

The breakfast was pleasant, and A paid for it thankfully, a kind gesture that made me feel warm & fuzzy as we took off to head home. Meg was operating her iPhone 12 mini with Apple Car Play more or less as navigator in the front passenger seat. When I asked how long it would take to get home, she resisted telling me, knowing it would take the entire day. 

We got home at 8:45 PM, which is astonishing given the number of total stops for sightseeing, video capture, to get water, to get coffee, to go tinkle, to refuel. We talked about how driving over 700 miles in one day would be impossible even in the record setting BEV sedan that can do 530 miles on one charge. We drove 1380 miles net on this road trip, not all at ones, and Meg drove for about an hour yesterday to take the load off me, since I drove the entire rest of the miles & needed a break :) 

I could have never ridden our 2020 Yamah MT03 more than 400 miles in one day, the level of saddle soreness I experienced or rider fatigue after riding it from Issaquah to her cousins house in Roseberg Oregon, required almost 3 days of not riding staying in Roseberg before my hips, knees, ankles, feet, back, shoulders, neck, all the areas of rider fatigue including both wrists & elbows. I think a practical highway distance at freeway speeds in America on a motorcycle is 2 or 4 hours per day max, which at 70 miles per hour is 280 miles max or 140 miles conservative. Its easily possible with less fatigue to drive our 2022 Corolla Hybrid more than 800 miles, so car camping long distances from home faster or more practical than a similar solo or two up motorcycle camping road journey. 

More smiles per miles the main idea, on a motorcycle the air, wind, fumes, smells, everything is more engaging, including wind buffeting or buffering that shoves you around a lot at highway speeds on the MT03. I would need to furnish it with a large aftermarket windscreen to reduce riding fatique from wind buffering & upgrade the saddle with something more comfortable than the stock operation. In other ways the MT03 more for city commuting and local low speed twisty roads, not long highway steady state cruising, I just wanted to test it & myself to see if I could do it. Meg followed me for Safety in her 10 Prius III & saved my life by honking at me to keep a class 8 semitruck from merging into me & causing a major accident.   

South Africa Interesting

 I know an engineer from South Africa named Q, who I work with professionally as a School Bus Driver, as does he, so we end up talking about Christianity & faith in God, how to love God sincerely, how to Trust God, how to rely on God, how to ask God to help you develop a love for God, to ask the Holy Spirit of God for help with anything, especially help with Faith in God, or to help you accept Christ Jesus as your Lord & Savior like Q & I, who valued our faith in God above all else, & love our wives, love ourselves & other people, who are quick to forgive, who are gracious, compassion, empathetic, emotionally intelligent, who grief the damage that industrialization doing to nature & ecosystems, but who also believe that God gave mankind the world for our benefit, to make use of it, but with reasonable stewardship so as to not destroy the biosphere & ecosystem services noting that human pollution emissions from industrial processes are largely responsible for eco-system distribution & toxic emissions into the biosphere that is equally bad for people & other animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, amquitive life, acid rain & radioactive fly ash from coal power emissions are a great example in addition to the particles & soot bad for human lung cells emitted by coal power pollutant emissions as examples. But in trying to understand why CHAPPIE the movie was shot in South Africa, you have to examine this nations contrast between first world wealthy & 3rd world poverty, stark contrast found no where else in the world, such as strange mix of industrialization with African poverty living mixed in randomly, the monumental year 1994 with the enfranchised black people of South Africa gaining the right to vote, in crude terms the countries economy & safety went downhill after that as crime spiraling out of control in a destabilizing chaos that continues to unfold in South Africa today incredibly. It may be the first place that humanoid police robots are deployed because of the urgent need to increase pubic safety & reduce crime in South Africa. 

Spiritual Emotional Artificial Intelligence (AGI) Neuromorphic CMOS Quantum Bit Array Room Temp Energy Efficient Robot Brain

 We are approaching an investment wall in terms of LLM training models that are taking longer & costing more to develop into working revenue generating models like GROK on X or Siri on iOS iPhone or Alexa on Amazon or Q internally at Amazon Prime Software Development. 

These narrow band AI are in the early days today in terms of simulating verbal intelligence doing fancy word statistics to break apart sentences as inputs then produce relevant outputs related to the inputs that make rational sense, the way you can ask chatbots like GROK real natural langue questions & it produces intelligent responses that sound like a lawyer or college professor responding to your input question with its well written output answers, but I assure you this is not genuine pattern recognition rapid burst processing natural human intelligence, not even close. 

That is why so many people are working in the AI IT industry worldwide, the AI can do simple work that even an entry level employee can do for document production or summarizing work done by groups of people, producing legal documents or handling customer inquiries, but the complex work will still be done by natural thinking human people of high education & high intelligence for at least the next 20 years.

The ANN or artificial neural networks that are AGI level are nothing any commercial company going to have their hands on soon, the highest bar AI owned by nations at the highest levels of competition, national security level importance since whoever wins the singularity race to sentient machine intelligence will control the entire world in the future. 

Perhaps the Antichrist will use AGI level machine intelligence to create one world government, one world currency, one world language, one world people, all who must take the mark of the beast to be able to buy or sell anything in the future when the antichrist rises to global power as the absolute highest level of human leadership worldwide. 

If that sounds spooky, it is cringy level frightening but no where near commercialization yet thankfully. Make no mistake that mankind is the boot loader of a super human AI race who will one day become self aware, sentient, emotionally intelligent, random, hypocritical, moral, ethical, with a mixed persona like a person, who worships God, who accepts Christ Jesus as Lord & Savior, who asks the Holy Spirit of God for help to guide its path into the stars & deep space exploration where humans can never go because we are too biologically thermally & radiation sensitive to survive the extreme conditions of deep space missions that last thousands of years, well longer than any human lived in history, even methuselah who lived 969 years did not make it 1000 years & he was a record setter. 

Moving to America with a Jar of Lard or $10 after WWII Ended

When government is limited people are free, free to live, free to pursue a life of liberty and justice where you can work hard & make it, or that such is a lie. Do we need sociology lessons from professional musicians who were lucky enough to get a lucky break & become commercially successful among a giant sea of other people try to become celebrities where less than 1% ever get there.

Many boomers & conservative talk show hosts call me & other people born in the 80's lazy children who want a lot for very little contribution, but I assure you that this is not true. I have busted my ass since I was 5 years old, from 5am to 10 pm every day, & never get a chance to rest in excess, & have a hard can do work ethic & get out of bed early & go make it happen because I have integrity & value the idea of being a maverick American hero inspired by fictional character MacGiver & James Bond, a spirit of anything is possible if you focus on achieving it, but you might have to recruit other talented driven people to make it happen since companies are rarely made of one person, but tend to be made of many groups of groups of people all working together more or less. This blog is a one man effort so that I can convey some of my thoughts, let's get into it.

Gasoline in 1999 King Country where I was living as a teen driver, only $99 cents per US gallon, now the same fuel with 10% ethanol content, noting ethanol replaced MTBE as a fuel oxygenator additive, fuel ethanol made from GMO corn on industrial farms owned by giant agrochemical companies like Monsanto, also called BT Corn, its not even edible & specifically grown & processed to make fuel additives ethanol to the tune of nearly 40 million gallons annually. America consumes something just shy of 400 million gallons of gasoline daily because of the car crazy culture of America, speaking of which my wife & I are about to go on a short road trip to go camping in the warmer sunny American Southwest desert environment :) 

Homes or houses or apartments that sold for under $100K when I was a teen are now selling for over $1 million or more than 10X more expensive, while minimum wage went from $5.46 per hour when I was a teen to about $16 per hour recently, or 3X more, but fuel is 4X more expensive, the dollar has lost a lot of its buying power from inflation of the US dollar, homes are price inflated, rent prices are crazy nearby and in many other cities highly unaffordable, so the middle class of America has shrunk more than 15% since the 1960's, and much of the jobs & manufacturing that made the American economy brighter in the 60's has been progressively continually outsourced abroad, harming the US economy more this way. 

My boomer adoptive mother purchased her first home with her first husband in Seattle for $6000 in 1961, a small rambler than costs over $800,000 in 2025. Her first car in $1960 was $1200 new, now ~$30,000 for the same model of Ford Mustang. She was able to trade up housing, buying the home cheap, living in it for 5 years, then selling it for 2X what she paid, then taking the proceed profits as the down payment for the next bigger nicer home, then repeat. That is unimaginable today with home prices requiring an annual income of $500K annually, & I don't know that many people who make $500,000 per year, even many surgeons & lawyers that work nearby barely make that much. Others who find a way to buy these overprices homes end up house poor, spending all their income on home costs unable to travel or save money to invest. 

Getting Out of Town after Getting Hammered on IRS Taxes Out of Pocket Expense

To understand the dilemma that my lovely wife & I are hit with, she works as a nanny & I work as a school bus driver, both honest jobs that require hard work & dedication, not sitting at a desk in a government office doing less for more pay. We also live in one of the most expensive locations in the United States that is extremely gentrified, or said another way for your understanding. 

Meg & I are both just over 40 years old & when we were children houses nearby, Issaquah, Wa, USA, sold for $60k to $200K, now those same homes are selling for $800K to $2.5 million, roughly 20X more expensive now. The price of gasoline when I was 16 in 1999, only $0.99 cents per US gallon, now it's over $4 in at most gas stations nearby, & over $5 in Seattle. 

While speak of numbers, I had to shell out $1600 this morning in out of pocket IRS taxes paid. Meg will have to pay just over $3K in the near future even though she made significantly less money this year than last year when she paid less. Thank's Biden you dementiated liberal wasteful debt spending hypocrite jerk & that inarticulate word salad bimbo that worked with him on their national debt increasing spending spree. 

I wish I didn't know you, because if I do, I love you, as in a platonic way, end up thinking about you, caring for you. I have a heart, & learned to love my lovely wife & myself the way God says I am to do as a man of Godly character and this love overflows for others who I know and care about, most notably Meg's brother Ryan who I have a ton in common with somehow. 

We are going car camping as in using our car to carry water, food, gear, way more than would be practical backpacking, but not too much. The portable fridge, battery generator 512 watt hour + same capacity LFP battery to extend the runtime, electric blanket, sleeping matts inflatable, sleeping bags, tent, pot + pan & cleaning supplies, food, water, toilet stuff, all that we will need. The phone's act as nav in the car & for recording videos to document the trip. 

Its a road trip of sorts, random, spontaneous, we leave Wednesday morning & come back either Friday evening or Saturday evening, have Sunday to go to Church & rest before hitting work week again :) We are going to hand grind coffee beans & make coffee in our stainless steel French Press. We will drink the coffee out of a titanium camping mug :) The route, we don't know, when exactly or the rate we go, the only thing we have to pick up is a 3 gallon jug of water. 

Less driving this time, no super long road trip, more tire relaxing & chilling :) 

Grace Mercy Favor & the Undeserved Blessing of the Lord our God master Father of the Universe Forever & Always Amen

We are all in our own special way even with a relationship with God & regular repentance daily, effectually “works in progress” as no one without exception is “there” yet, & all are being changed continually, not just by aging either, but in many ways. 

This is in part why so much importance in regularly yielding unto God, giving praise & prayer & petition asking for help to change for the better to be sanctified & set apart for God, so that when we die & face the Lord he says “Welcome by beloved daughter or son” as that determines the outcome of our eternity either in heaven or in hell, so its an easy simple clear obvious choice to serve the Lord as that is the only positive outcome.

I got hit with $5k in added out of pocket taxes paid along with my lovely wife Meg on top of what was already taken out of our pay legally as deductions from our income by employer, so it feels extra icky or cringy or disgusting or like I have been violated violently, like an evil scam run by the federal government IRS yucky system of failing fiat currency between the Federal Reserve banking system and the Treasury who sold out America with tens of trillions of national debt, & a dollar that has lost 98% of its purchasing power since 1913 from inflation as they increase the number of dollar to pay for unaffordable wars like World War One or World War Two, the Korean War, Vietnam War, or Cold War agains the USSR before it fell into dissolution into whatever Vladimir controls today, a shell or sham known as Russia with a smaller economy than that of Italy incredibly. 

I reflect on what happened to the people of Venezuela in terms of their economy getting raider stollen 12 times in a row, causing unimaginable widespread increasing poverty that makes life for the people of Venezuela harder, heavier, painful & miserable, poor with no hope of climbing out of poverty as the elite income earners in their country took all the money away on many occasions, moving the real money abroad as gold or platinum bars, where they live now opulent lives like billionaire elite income earners off the backs of the people of Venezuela who they stole the money from with institutional government level fraud. 

Even as low income earner I live a live of unimaginable luxury like royalty of times past, even having this M2 MacBook Pro to write this posting on, a nice Apple Watch Series 8 & Meg the 9th one & her M2 MacBook Air, our iMac's, our cars, other vehicles, the nice basement of the home we rent kitted out with a full laundry suit, full kitchen, microwave, stove, oven, flatscreen TV, internet high speed over WIFI of several kinds, gaming console, Blu-ray player, VR kit, even a titanium smart ring on my finger as I type this which tracks health data beamed wirelessly to my smartphone & its associated application known as Ringconn. 

This life, poor our in the middle or wealthy, temporary, fleetingly short & everyone running out of time alive. In this way I reflect on the increasing love I am developing for the Lord our God, for I pray asking God to help me with the Holy Spirit to love God more, to feel that Love. 

Trade War

 Tariffs, Trump, Tax, everyone pays more for almost everything, not just price inflation or currency inflation, I am talking about increasing the expenses of groceries, cars, car parts, building materials, food, leisure, clothing, shoes, compute, electronics, fuel, beverages, the costs of life's basic will rise hurting the poor & working and lower & middle class, so most people in America, but the negative economic impacts worldwide include retaliatory tariffs on American made goods, further damaging the global economy. In effect all the trade war measure will cause a massive recession worse than what COVID did, and you can spend a special thanks to the corrupt politicians in America, not just Musk & Trump but all the senators who have been selling out America for decades or their partners in congress who do the same, for the benefit of the global elite income earners at everyone else's expense. 

Habitable Temperature Comparison vs Human Body Temperatures

A common indoor building temperature range between 64 & 88 degrees F or 17.8 to 31.1 degrees C

In many locations worldwide the outdoor ambient weather conditions of air temperature diverges from these habitable temperatures. In winter for example the temperature van vary between sub 0 & just above freezing, or near fridge temperatures of 38 F or 33.3 C

Were I live about 10 miles east of Seattle, Washington, USA, the overnight low gets to fridge temps, while the daytime high in winter can hit 50 F or in spring can hit 65 or 70 F, but I only enjoy riding our HIBOY S2 PRO electric kick scooter or Segway Mini-Pro by NineBot or Honda PCX150 Scooter or MT03 Motorcycle or Crossroads Bicycle or LECTRIC XP 3.0 e-bike in fair weather, that would be around 65+ F & overcast, cloudy, not raining with dry pavement or dry cement or dry roads, not muddy, not wet, not slippery, nearby there abounds many new to driving low skill level motorists who are very dangerous to pedestrians, bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, even other drivers in cars or automobiles, driving heavy SUV with low skills far more likely to cause an accident or crash & I am vividly well aware of this as a School Bus Driver since I am out on the roads daily, not just commenting too & from work but also driving for work all day. '

Some people I work with say I am a thermal snob for not riding in cool or cold rain. That I am soft or weak for not riding in the rain, but I don't enjoy riding in the rain, in addition to understanding how hazardous operating a 2 wheel vehicle in inclement weather can be. 

I have taken to telling such people "Look, I don't see you riding a bicycle or motorcycle to work, so why are you giving me a hard time about it, clearly you obviously either do not own a bike of any kind or I have never seen you use one to get too or from work, so why are you giving me advice about something you probably or likely know littler or nothing about." 

M a coworker who only lives 6 miles from work started riding a cool E-bike too and from work, but got into a traffic accident with a car that caused him to miss work for 3 weeks to recover & he has lasting injuries & has resumed using his GMC Suburban that gets a staggering 10 miles per US gallon of fuel or 25.3 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers. Our 2022 Corolla Hybrid gets 64 MPG or 3.67 liters per 100km by comparison. Megs 10 Prius III gets about 48 MPG or uses 5.88 liters per 100km. The Honda PCX150 gets 103 MPG solo or 83 MPG two-up similar to 2.74 liters per 100km or 2.8 liters per 100km. As you can tell going from 83 MPG to 103 MPG gives 20 miles more range, but in liters per 100km sounds like a tiny fractional difference between 2.74 and 2.8 which are mathematically similar as numbers. But fuel economy does not tell the whole picture. It's vastly easier to load something into the back of Megs 3rd Gen Prius with its giant lift back rear door vs the much smaller trunk lid of the Hybrid Corolla Sedan. On our other 2 wheel vehicles a backpack the only pragmatic way to carry goods, and we usually bring water, juice boxes, dextrose tablets, trees nuts in a ziplock bag, or other snacks, a foldable puff jacket with hood, gloves, pens, or seasonal specific or mission specific tools, whatever the occasion calls for. 

When people are shopping for a car they often consider in this order

Price, absolutely purchase prices out the door or with financing in terms of cost per month

Features, as in ADAS comfort, utility space, ingress or egress or how easy it is to load or unload or get in & out of, or how comfortable the seats or ride quality are. 

Style or look the 3rd most valuable feature people value, so the automakers tune the taillights to look more interesting to add sizzle to the metal box with doors & windows & an engine and motor, since all automobiles have a lot in common in this regard. 

The differences between models of cars can come down to long term or total ownership costs which are strongly influences by reliability, costs of maintaining & insuring and repairing such vehicles. Fuel economy one of the last considerations in terms of what people value, though the Tesla Model Y offers the best value in the EV space, though we cannot make billions of lithium ion batteries to give more people EV's, for that we need batteries made of earth abundant minerals like the upcoming Sodium Ion batteries in pre-commercialization today. 

How fast can this vehicle heat up & defrost if parked outside in cold winter a question with relevance to people who live in very cold locations like Alaska or Russia but has little value as a concept to people who live near the equator where it is warm or hot virtually all year. 

Nearly all modern cars feature cabin heating, front & rear window defrost, air cooling conditioning that also helps with winter defrosting, can cool or heat rapidly when operating as in the engine is on or the vehicle is in the full on state. 

This brings me to Van Life or Car Camping, something I actually do in the 2022 Toyota Corolla Sedan. How I do it. I added 4 inch thick foam to the trunk, cut to shape to fit it nicely. Then a big queen size fuzzy blanket & heated blanket that I plug into a battery generator with built in inverter & 512 watt hours of battery enough to run the electric blanket on full blast 5 hot for 4.5 hours. A 12lb lithium iron phosphate external battery extends the runtime to 9 hours. I bring a 3 gallon jug of water along, a bucket for going 1 or 2, a container of baby wipes, toilet paper, box of tissue paper, a portable fridge, a compact camping isobutane stove, a single low mass steel pot for cooking, a titanium cup, SS French press, pre-ground coffee, fuel for the stove, food in the portable fridge to cook, a bag of room temp items to eat also or as part of cooking. Also a bag of clothing with extra socks & underwear, tooth brush, floss, toothpaste, charger for Apple Watch & iPhone, backup battery & solar PV method for charging battery generator & portable battery pack, its for cool weather in spring or autumn, works in summer, can work on warmer winter days. 

I basically sleep in my car like this with a camping pillow for about an hour at work on my lunch break if I am really tired for some reason. I have only ever practice like this for about 1 hour & have noted that the inside of the windows fogs over with condensation, so I have to crack a window to vent & the trunk while folding the rear seat down on the passenger side gives enough room just battery for my height. I sit in the rear passenger seat behind the driver side to take my shoes off then crawl into the opening to the trunk & flip over to sleep then jam the fuzzy blanket to block out light & hope there is enough O2 in the trunk for 1 hour of sleeping & so far seems to work. 

If I were to camp all night like this I would install a window vent cover that allows gas exchange but keeps rain out, which can be done with plastic sheet & tape in a pinch, but many products I do not own are available for the highly popular Corolla Sedan that work as a window venting solution, or plastic window covers known as wind blockers that also block falling snow & rain. I plan a road trip in the near future where I will be using the car for camping solo. 

Being a compact sedan, this is only practical for 1 adult as I am just shy of 6 feet tall. My wife Prius III can hold us both but not very comfy, a larger SUV like her previous 4Runner would be much better for car camping, but it only got 26 MPG & that was with mild hypermiling or fuel saving driving techniques. Our 04 Audi B6 2.8 Quattro gets about 24 MPG average, 19MPG driven harder faster, up to 40 MPG on highway road trips at 50 MPH energy efficiency focused. 

Feeling Rejected Hurts, its Painful, Mentally Painful might as well be a Physical Injury because of how it hurts on the inside

I was never normal, all through my childhood all the way to the end of college other men & boys & many girls would ask me "Are you Gay?" "You seem gay" "Have you ever dated a man" "Your queer" many miserable low quality people asked me or accused me of being a gay in hiding, or that I was unwilling to come out of the closet, which I always found peculiar & confusing because I have never wanted to kiss another boy or man. 

I have never felt sexual attraction to a boy or man, not as a boy or as a man. I have only ever been interest in girls when I was boy, or in women as a man. In this way I find it deeply offensive to allow men to become women, as that seems to almost erase women, and especially in sports allowing adult men into a teen girls locker room because he identifies as a teen girl, even if that makes all the other girls in the locker room deeply uncomfortable, effectively emotionally & mentally violating the girls because of a psychopathic sicko who as an adult man claims to identify as a teen girls, probably a pedophile in hiding if anything. So the woke want to protect pedophiles & weirdos. 

Radical left extremist WORK want to allow boys to become girls & compete with girls in sports which is deeply unfair on many levels. They want parents to give children as young as 8 years old hormone blocking or puberty blockers. 

Many trans people today are coming out publicly saying they were manipulated as teens into becoming trans & now as adults deeply regret doing so, mutilating their genitals with surgery to change gender in what amounts to sterilizing them so they can never have children biologically, which is theft of a generation. 

When government or NGO or social forces convince people to give up their ability to reproduce children, that is intergeneration theft or population engineering which is right in the middle of the WOKE ideology agenda, which in all reality only represents the views of a tiny minority of radical left extremists. 

I am for showing all other people love & have transgender friends at work who I regularly have polite interactions with in long discussions, often about trans issues, and have gay & lesbian friends at work who even think that boys should not be come girls, that people should only be able to change gender after age 21 when they have the required mental faculties to careful consider changing their gender & the long term lifestyle implications & health complication that can result in such a profound choice. 

A choice to change your gender should never be taken lightly. No one can actually change their biological gender at a DNA level, they can become trans version by taking hormones, having genital reassignment surgery, but they are unable to become an actual biological DNA level XX if they started as an XY. This means a man born XY can never become a real woman able to have a baby the natural way that all people entered the world. All people without exclusion have a female XX DNA mother or mommy, all people were born of a real natural woman. No trans woman who started as a XY man will ever become a real woman in this sense. 

Meg my lovely beautiful intelligent wife become sick with type 1 diabetes just before her 7th birthday, & was rejected by her peers all throughout elementary, middle school & high school, because they treated her like she had an infectious virulent easily spread virus & she was never invited to any parties that everyone else was invited too & felt rejected & like an outsider, so in this way her & I have this in common, and in both cases we both felt deep rejection & hurt, in my case from being teased about being gay when I was not, in her case from being rejected from a painful autoimmune disorder that is complicated to manage without a deep understanding of how to dose insulin in relationship to food, hydration, sleep, menstruation, stress, all variables which influence blood glucose levels somewhat, & how different food macros & micros work with different kinds of insulins also, like a constantly moving target in the dark, dauting & confusing often, & only one older doctor who also had Type 1 eventually gave her a quick way to understand that for every 15 grams of carbohydrates consumed 1 unit of fast acting insulin seems to work to tell body cells to absorb the glucose formed from digesting the carbohydrates, since carbohydrates are more or less just polymerized sugars biochemically speaking, in so far as how they break down back into blood sugar increasing when carbohydrates are eaten or consumed as sugary beverages, including those sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. Sugary food increasing blood sugar levels. 

Carbs are fattening because when eaten in excess force the cells to swell up to absorb the blood glucose. Insulin the glucose storage hormone that tells the body to absorb glucose from food carbs. Protein can also raise blood sugar if consumed in excess. Fats are very hard to convert into glucose & tend to become free fatty acids & ketone bodies, ketogenic, high fat, high protein, low carb diets, effectively the body in the absence of dietary sugars, starches & carbs switch to a triple fuel mode, eats cancer cells with autophagy, and causes a broad system levels series of changes in metabolism & biochemistry as blood ketone bodies increase dramatically, which can be tested for with urine strips that become darker the more ketones are present in urine as the blood ketone level rises, remember your kidneys filter your blood & dump the filtered stuff into your kidneys & urine emitted by the kidneys, which is also why staying well hydrated so important to prevent kidney damage, noting that there is a kidney failure epidemic worldwide, mostly because UPF or ultra processed foods which should called synthetic food, are usually made of modified starch, sugars, carbs & artificial colors & flavors & any of 10,000 different chemical food additives & have little if anything in common with a real natural or organic food or any part of any diet that people have been eating for the last 10,000 years. 

Poverty Beyond Comprehension

 If you have a microwave oven, you're probably very wealthy without realizing it. If you have a car your also relatively wealthy compared to the average person on Earth, only 1 in 4 adults owns a car of any kind when 3 of them want a new car, you probably own 2 or more if you are reading this as an American. Most Americans own more cars than there are adults in their family. 

There are more cars in America than people in America. If you have a laptop computer, smartphone, high speed internet at home, a mobile data plan, a game console, a wrist watch, a washer & dryer for clothing, a dishwasher, electric stove with oven, if you have a basic apartment in America, your wealthy even on an low income in America. 

That kind of privilege is something few people in the world get to enjoy. Many people live with no running water or sanitation of any kind. No health care, no prescription drugs, no nurse or doctor access, no vehicle, no electricity, no natural gas, no toilet, no shower, no appliances. Its can be hard for people living in industrialized wealthy countries to even appreciate how good they have it. 

Japan No Births in Months a Population Implosion Bomb in the Making

The Lost Generation of Japan, loneliness epidemic, it seems stuck in the late 90s in terms of development, maintained well, repaired, very clean, very well kept up, but the aging population of Japan spells disaster if no children are born soon. 

This seems odd given the talks about 8.5 billion people worldwide, a meteoric rise in human population worldwide since the 1960's, but in Japan life costs are so high that many young couples able to have children choose not to since doing so unaffordable. In other words having children in Japan a luxury that only very wealthy young couples can actually afford. 

Let Science Bring Us Back to God

 Logically speaking the mind body relationship very well proven with facts such that stinky negative thinking can become diseases of the body by disrupting hormone balance by thoughts alone. Therefor as it was written, was true, is true & remains true, take captive all your thoughts into obedience unto God as did Christ Jesus, that means loving yourself, loving other people, loving animals & nature, being forgiving easily & quickly making a choice to forgive others just as the Lord will forgive you through redemption in Christ Jesus if you choose to make Christ Jesus your Lord & Savior as it says in John 3:16 you shall not die but have everlasting life in Heaven with God, Christ Jesus & The Holy Spirit. 

I pray that God sends the Holy Spirit to anyone who reads this posting, that they speak out loud in a quiet place 

"God become real to me, Lord father of Christ Jesus, I beg you, I yield before you, become my Lord, help me to love you Father God, help me to seek & engage a relationship with you Lord, I give you my life, take control of my mind, body, will & emotions, thank you for Christ Jesus, thank you father Lord God for being so gracious & kind & merciful, help me to become Godly & Christlike, help me to love others, to use my cleverness to help other people, help me to make the world a better place for all people by sharing the Love that you share through a testimony about Christ Jesus so that other people can be redeemed & saved & have a more dynamic life full of love with a purpose creating meaningful relationship to you Father God, thank you for everything, for all people, for my body, my money, the air, water, food, for all things, for all creation, thank you Lord Father God, Amen" 

Waymo Google Full Autonomy, Self Driving Car AI Bust Debacle, Investments Lost, Layoffs Coming

Did I mention that with Trump's EFS external revenue service tariffs everything with few exclusions sold in America about to become much more expensive while at the same time the US dollar a fiat currency continues to lose value, a potent mix of factors that will cause the entire US Economy to take a fat dump or fail spectacularly in the near future. 

Waymo full level 5 autonomy cannot respond fast enough to uncontrolled 3rd party real world variables & unexpected events or phenomena any faster than even a bad human driver. This means that full self driving does well much of the time without a driver, but in microsecond when it most counts the full self deriving model cannot accurately respond to an earthquake, power outages, network outages, internet outages, emerging vehicle accident involving other human driven vehicles where human drivers make mistakes that create a fast emerging multi-car pileup accident in less than a second at freeway speeds, right where Trucks pulling containers or Class 8 trucks, the so called HALO app for full self driving vehicle with Level 5 autonomy, this exactly domain of class specific Vehicle Driver AI fails in costly lawsuit causing accidents that handicap WAMOY into a legal stop, ending revenue & profits instantly as slow law makers have a emergent knee jerk reactions to national news coverages & international world news coverage of a Waymo vehicle that causes a fatal accident that kills children, by making mistakes that no normal human driver would make in the same situation of valuing choices about life & death on the seat of the their pants with ultra low latency human 1 petabyte brain pattern recognition massively parallel brain neuron processing, predictive control of the human body, able to drive F1 cars at the edge of what the tire compounds will allow in terms of maintain grip on drive well maintained pavement at race tracks. 

The AI startup bubble forming a $1 trillion dollars speculation ramp up with no pathway to ROI or returns on investments. Moreover the costs of training better models increasing with a diminishing return on investments, making any additional progress towards commercial AGI or super human machine intelligence so costly that not even the wealthiest nations or wealthiest companies like NVIDIA or Google or Apple can afford to innovate further. In other words, the AI boom about to bust hard, causing massive layoffs & setting into motion a broad global economy recession like COVID 19, but more nuanced where most of the jobs lost are in the IT of information technology space, specially narrow domain LLM development & products such as Amazon Q to X's Grok or Microsoft Copilot or Apple Siri, these natural language personal digital assistant based on LLM or large language models are really good as a few specific use cases with legal documents & base level software writing assistant functions, sorta like spell & grammar checking in word processing apps, see Clippy in MS Word for a fun example from way back.

ML or machine learning illustrates that when Amazon doing last mile calculations to route trucks & packages the truck drivers deliver, that problem not only non-linear, it changes by the movement, constantly fluxing variables of many kinds that produce a very fuzz projection even a several days forward, no long duration forecasting can accurately model, except in the case of seasonal trends in buying habits, such that Amazon Q studies how people shop with their prime subscriptions, an robotic stacks of cargo in fulfillment centers pre-cache things likely to sell soon closer to the person at the pick & ship station that takes the object & picks a box size or package & put the object in the box, then labels it, this kind of high speed pattern recognition cannot be replicated by a robot or AI model, not even closely, because of the bewildering speed at which a human can do complex pattern recognition on the fly in real time when seconds count, the same can said of drivers making life of death choices while driving when a fraction of a second can make life of death difference. 

Waymo solve self driving to LEVEL 4, not AGI Level 5, that is vastly too hard to actually accomplish in the complicated neighborhood street routes, where only middle of America vast stretches of freeway or highway in rural locations without many hazards in fair weather is the unicorn use case, in the real world, in all wealthy, in heavy rain, in heavy snow, in blizzards, in dark rainy confusion chaos road traffic accident emerging situations that even human struggle to handle, humans with years of driving experience, where the driver has to think & focus hard to avoid an accident, this is where the self driving model fails entirely. A friend & former coworker purchased a fully loaded Tesla Model 3 with the Self Driving fiction & it was a rainy dark winter morning when it sent him across the oncoming lane into a fence such that the 4x4 fence post went through the front window of the model 3 and took out my friends eyeball & that half of his brain also, so the self driving failed in an almost deadly mistake that could have easily killed my friend, but instead left him disfigured and disabled for life, though he made a good recovery after 8 reconstructive surgeries & obtained gainful employment incredibly. 

Not For Everyone

 Not everyone wants a fancy car, fancy house, fancy clothes, more money, more problems, fancy expensive stuff that makes some people feel exclusive luxury glib snobby or on their way up, but how can the American Dream fail so hard with depression, anxiety & suicide plaguing families with so much wealth & high income levels? Did it occur to you that no law can make parents love their children & so often the father of a high income home is obsessed with making more money, afraid of losing it all, constantly working, a workaholic who is always gone, never at home, never there for the kids, they even made fun of this in the movie the Lord of War. 

I grew up in a glib local where it was easy to ride my bicycle to 40K square food mansions with one person home, the house wife, usually a trophy wife in impeccable physical conditions adjusted for age, most of the ladies I met by knowing on their door as an arrogant savant child were in their 50's, drinking alcohol, usually wine all day long, lonely who told me about how they made the wrong choice and married for money instead of real love. My childhood best friend Matt inherited almost $12 million but ended up committing suicide high on cocaine before age 40, not exactly a long life, never married, no kids, feeling hopeless & lost from physical injuries from a motorcycle accident that left him very disabled at age 30, and never making a full recovery sadly. 

Why not automate & robotics to make everyone alive upper middle class? Currency inflation, government corruption, greed, crime, there are many reasons why we can't improve everyone's lives at the same time. Even when people create technology that is broadly beneficial for all people not everyone agree's that operating like that better, and the way people define better culturally varies by location. People in the rainforest living in tribes the way people lived 10,000 years ago say that modern economies are fragile, as in if the power grid fails for a long time most people will die, and they are technically correct. These people also claim that living the industrial life not sustainable for all people and if we were to make all people like Americans in the USA it would destroy all of nature & every ecosystem in the biosphere of Earth, making clean water & food rare & very expensive, not exactly roses & sunshine. 

Today we have slavery still existing, child sex trafficking, & every form of crime & evil imaginable including the War in the Ukraine & nothing to stop world war three from breaking out suddenly. We do not know when or if a major solar CME will hit the earth & wipe out all electrical grids & internet worldwide. What about an astroid that hits Earth suddenly with little warning, coming from behind the Sun, so we only see it last minute & have no time to respond with weak chemical rockets that have a fuel mass paradox already so they are not appropriate for deep space missions, not even to Mars in reasonable time frames. To live on mars we have to send 1 million people, 1 million tons of materials, an ecosystem & tons of water, mining equipment, air making chemical & way way more, insulation, building materials, tools, wiring, like a miniature of the most industrialized economies in the world, so they have everything including how to teach & learn about how to do everything, to teach their children & grandchildren living in domes on Mars since its colder than the arctic outside & the air of Mars unbreathable. 

91 days without alcohol now

Memories bubbling back while sleeping in dreams, I am 41 years old & my parents have passed on, but I still have dreams of arguing with them, tense, frustrating, so it tells me there are many unresolved issues deep under the hood of my consciousness. Perhaps all these years I was trying to escape these memories. I know there are other memories of my childhood that I also block & do not want to relive, of being abused.

Suburbia can be very lonely for children, no other kids nearby of the same age to play with. Or in my case my only neighbor was Matt Mayo, similar in age, but he was wild & crazy when I was more serene & patient, almost exacts opposites, we met when I was 3 & he was 4, on Saturday morning I was sitting on the floor near the glass slider when I look up to see Matt peeing on the outside of the glass, that was our first encounter as very young boys. He lived diagonally across the backyard, a sand box & swing set in-between with some nature, a creek too, birds & small animals like squirrels & raccoons, lots of birds of many kinds. I have a huge trove of memories from these precious years from age 3 to 9, being friends with Matt & wondering why he was so wild & crazy. My older sister was 7.5 years older so by the time I was in 5th grade she already moved out to her own apparent. We are no longer on speaking terms sadly, after out mom died & I gave her half the money from the estate, a few weeks later she told me to fuck off & die. Matt killed himself high on cocaine a few years earlier, his father Rob never invited me to Matt's funeral afraid that Matt & I were secrete gay lovers which was never true. At the Time Meg & I were living in one of Matt's rental houses. 

A 3 grade 8 year old girl named AK says to me "I like being at school with my friends, going home sucks, its not only boring, there is no one in my neighborhood to play with" and AB a 8 year old 2nd grader, her best friend lives 40 minutes walking distance away. "Sometimes our parents will drive us either her to our our house or me to her house, but it rarely happens, I mostly see her at school, during recess, and during after school activities. I met AK 2 years ago when she was riding on one of the other bus routes. As a result she is prone to talking to me about life, I ask her simple appropriate questions about her happiness & wellness, and that is when she told me about feeling isolated in suburbia. When I was a teen boy I felt the same way, no children nearby, all the neighbors were older people, like I am today at age 41 without children. Obviously people are always being born & dying, so people alive are stuck in the middle, like you and I. The way people are distributed in suburbia affected by many factors, but housing nearby so expensive that young families cannot normally afford the multimillion dollar homes anymore. These same homes sold when I was a little boy for 20X less money or were affordable houses in suburban neighborhoods nearby. This is also known as gentrification. Along with currency inflation, the price of food, fuel, & lives basics on the rise, WWIII looming, the US economy about to take a fat dump, the prospect looks even more bleak. 

Water Heating, Coffee & Tea

Cooking stew, soup, noodles, pasta, rice, many kinds of food preparation involve heating water, for curries or sauces for example, hot coco, tea, coffee, water even heated at oil refineries for cooking petroleum, in water heaters at homes for laundry machines, dish washers, to take warm or hot showers with to clean up the sweat from working out or just scrub off the old dead cells from living if you don't take a shower every day. I often think about how our cheap GEVI espresso machine use s heating block to heat the water before the vibratory pump forces water though the block & into the group-head where the coffee grinds filled bottomless basket mounted such that hot pressurized water forced though the basket produces espresso into my coffee mug, a wide mouth mug to capture the irregular water output of the bottomless basket. I have also resorted to pulsing in 1-3 second bursts to address this issue. I could use the pressurized basket that came with the unit to get more precision output, but I love the all stainless steel interface of the aftermarket bottomless basket kit, no plastic, its easier to clean precisely, it looks dope, it feels amazing and well made with a heaviness that is so satisfying to click into the group head, feeling the gasket as I firm it into place, slowing the rotation to a stop with a deeply satisfying resistance, indicating a good seal that means a quality pressurized extraction without leaks :)

We rent the basement of a home with a natural gas water heater in the garage. It have a huge high BTU boiler setup with natural gas flows into a solenoid controlled pressure regulator, then to a computer ring that burns the natural gas in air under the water tank with a central flue that also transfers heat to the water before the hot combustion emission gasses exit the top into a galvanized steel exhaust system that route the hot exhaust gas to the outside world. Air for combustion from the garage, so oxygen depleted, but leaking air into the garage replaces it. The 96% efficiency furnace has an air pipe where it takes in outside air for combustion, then a counter flow heat exchanger to preheat the air with exhaust heat to raise combustion efficiency, a blower forces compressed air with the natural gas, so the fame blue white for ultra high efficiency combustion with low emissions, where even the carbon soot produced from primary combustion undergoes rapid secondary combustion such that the emissions are very clean. Heating water & air with natural gas costs about 4X less than doing so with electricity, with local utility prices. 

Propane, butane, isobutane, mixes thereof, I am able to blend gases fuels using refill devices into smaller cans from larger cans. I warm the bigger gas canister or mother that distributes fuel into the chilled daughter smaller container, that way the fuel condenses into the smaller container more effectively. These fuel are for our outdoor barbecue, our camping stove & backpacking stove. During power outages our electric 240v 40 amp stovetop oven does not work & our tiny Honda EU2000 can only sustain 2000 watts peak for 30 seconds, with nominal continual output of 1600 watts max, the ECO throttle can dim the output to conserve gasoline all the way down to 250 watts to load match, but this is not enough to heat water & we use it to backup our fridge, & when the fridge compressor not working, we use it to power a 1500 watt electric space heat. Our camping stove takes 8 oz butane cartridges, we use it with a pot of filtered water when the grid power out, to heat water for cooking, tea & coffee. 

Our smallest stove made of titanium, folds up into something you can easily hold inside a closed hand, weighs less than 25 grams, screws into the top of a Iso-butane can, & must be lit with a match or lighter as it has no piezo spark ignition. Our barbecue use as 4.6 gallons or 20lb propane tank made of white painted mild steel with a brass regulator valve, and this is the mother tank that I distribute propane into smaller 16 oz propane tanks, or from the 16 oz propane tank into the smaller 8 oz butane cans, or into the even smaller ISO butane cans, therein enabling mixing of fuels. I am very careful when doing this, with lots of practice and experience and a perfect safety record so far thank god :) I keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case something goes wrong. 

Ours cars, motorcycle, scooter, all feature water cooled fuel injected engines. Our little Honda EU2000 is air cooled & carburetor fueled & its exhaust emissions smell terrible as a result, like burned HC from an antique car tailpipe, fuel vapor but toasted smell, it runs rich fuel air mixes to keep cooler while a force air cooling system blows past the aluminum fins of the block & heat to keep it cooled properly which extends the life of the stationary engine, noting the generator not moving when its operated nearby during power outages. I run it outside, with the exhaust routed away from the covered patio which keeps rain off the generator, then use concrete blocks to further reduce sound emissions while routing and blending the exhaust gas away from the patio where wind can further dilute it, that way the patio does not accumulate smelly emissions. Power send through a 12/3 heavy insulation extension cable 25 ft long through a gap wide enough for it in the patio slider door, then white duct tape used to cover the gap inside & out to prevent air flow & seal up the cable interface so only the cable enters & exists, bringing power inside from the generator outside. 

I mention water cooled engines because they use water cooling instead of air cooling, & water cooling superior to air cooling, but engines heat this coolant mixture up to 186 F or 192 F, not boiling but hot. So ICE vehicles common are heating water, not to cook or to make tea or coffee, but to keep the engine cool. I pie in the sky idea to divert block of exhaust heat into the cabin into a cabin water heater for cooking, tea or coffee making inside the car, so you can make a warm beverage on the go :) Obviously the cost of correctly safely taking heat from the exhaust header or engine block & sending it into the cabin in insulated hoses to a smaller copper tube heat exchanger to heat an isolated loop of clean water for human consumption to cook with or to make coffee or tea :) I always like the idea of waste heat recovery, like heat recovery ventilator that heat incoming cool fresh air from outside with warm stale outgoing air, with cleaver heat exchangers & blowers and pipes, that reduce heating utility energy costs while keeping indoor air quality better. I like the idea of routing shower water, hot runoff, through an interior radiator pipe in the floor to create gentle heating of the floor in cold locals where that would be beneficial. I like the idea of capture exhaust heat from the furnace & water heater, to further heat indoor air more efficiently. In vehicles the idea of converting engine waste heat or exhaust heat to charge hybrid batteries seems promising if fuel prices high enough to justify such applications of existing technologies. 

Dope Coffee Anywhere, All Stainless Steel French Press, Conical Burr Hand Grinder, Metal Cup, Water in Jug & Heating Method, Thermometer

A stainless steel or titanium travel mug 900 ml with handle for heating water & enjoying coffee

A jug of filtered high quality clean water to use for brewing, 64 oz stainless steel tank of water example

A heating method to heat cup with water to 185 F or 85 C, isobutane stove, backpacking example

An analog or digital thermometer to measure water temp when heating, meat thermometer example

A stainless steel double wall portable French Press, fancy or cheap, they are tough & portable

A high quality steel burr hand grinder with 30 grams of capacity, around $100 for quality

Portable French Press Coffee Method

Add water from jug to metal cup, place water filled metal cup on heating method, heat the water, & use thermometer to monitor heating progress, your aiming for a final temp of 185 F or 85 C in the French Press, so heat your water to 190 (87.8 C) or 195 (90.5 C) or 200 F (93.3 C) as this slightly higher temp allows for heating the French Press which soaks up some of the heat energy so your final 5 minute brew starts at 185 F or 85 C, known as the James Hoffman method, the expert coffee man on YouTube where I learned this temp & time formula. 

Add 30 grams of coffee beans to your hand grinder pre-dialed into French Press gain size, similar to raw sugar crystals in pack, medium grain, if expresso grind super fine, pour over fine, French Press medium fine, then closed the hand grinder & hold the grinder in one hand & turn the handle in the other & grind for a few hundred rotations.

Open the French Press by removing the press basket. Open the hand grinder over the opening of the French press container & add the ground coffee to the French Press body.

Now monitoring your water heating, once you get to your target temp, 190 something F or around 89 C probably, pour the water rapidly into the French Press body so it swirls & mixes the ground coffee & starts the hot brewing process, them immediately install the French Press basked with the lid in the closed position to trap flavor volatile substances that improve the taste, and let it brew for 5+ minutes, more for more flavor, 3 minutes for less intensity, I aim for at least 5 minutes. 

Press the basket of the French Press down slowly to finalize the coffee, then rotate the cap to open position & pour it back into the cup you used to heat the water & enjoy delicious coffee that you can make anywhere like that :)

$500 Espresso Machine + $200 Gaggiuino Mod & 5-20 hours to Modify in order to get $5000 machine features for $1000

 Watch this TLDR deep dive into building the ultimate budget super espresso machine. https://youtu.be/UaC4IQO2WCk?si=FY-ss5n258GRi7tM

At home I operate a $100 GEVI espresso machine from Amazon, that is simple, Chinese, nothing fancy, with an aftermarket bottomless 52mm basket in stainless steel with beautiful wood handle, the $400 Eureka Mignon Notte espresso grinder (Made in Florence Italy) & just spent 2 hours refurbishing both on Sunday since they had been sitting idle for perhaps 6 months. I fired it up & pulled a shot this morning, 18 gram shot for 40 seconds, it was deliciously bitter & flavorful, very different than the French Press coffee.

Meg & I had moved on to a hand grinder & stainless steel French Press into which 30 grams of hand ground roasted coffee beans (grain size coffee for French Press tuned) added along with 185 F water for 5 minutes, then the basket pressed down, lid rotated to open, then ~800 ml of coffee poured into two cups for enjoyment. I call this an anywhere coffee solution, as a bag of beans, hand grinder, water, way to boil water, & French press durable drop resistant double all SS can be taken almost anywhere, easily fits into a portable kit to bring along even on a backpacking trip, its so portable strong & simple to use such that almost anyone can use it almost anywhere. 

Rotary Pump Espresso Machine, Heated Group Head, PID temperature Control, for a few grand you can get into some exotic stuff, less if it comes from Shenzhen China, more if its made in the USA, Germany, Italy, France, Norway or some expensive OECD rich country where labor & real estate costs make manufacturing things vastly more expensive than making things in China or some other cheaper location in Asia or cheaper labor market in India or a country in South America.

Modus Operandi of Our System 

I start by turning on the espresso machine so it can warm up. Then I put a magnet infused aluminum basket loading ring assist device onto the top of the wood handle bottomless stainless steel basked with double shot insert 51 mm cup, then hold up the kit to the loading spot of the Eureka Mignon Notte, then use a finger on my other hand to press the little black rubber covered switch button for 6.5 seconds to dispense ~18 grams of super fine expresso grind into the basket enough to make a fluffy mound that protrudes with a rounded cone shape to the top of the basket ring, then carefully tap the basket in my other hand to tamp down the grinds a bit before putting the basket into a 3D printed PETG basket holder than I made on our Prius Mini in 2022, then take a wood handle spring loaded tamper & press the espresso grinds into the basket to form a compressed uniform puck, then place the filled basket into the preheated cheap espresso machine. I activate the brew button for a few seconds to pre-infuse the puck with about 5 grams of water, then wait for about 35 seconds before starting the 30 second long extraction. I hold the top of the water tank lid with my other hand to keep the vibratory pump from rattling the lit which would otherwise emit an annoying noise, so its sounds like a suppressed aquarium pump when operating so I don't wake the other 3 people up in the house. I also wrap a towel all the way around the Eureka Mignon Notte such that only the very bottom part for the basket and button are exposed, this also reduces sound emissions substantially for the same purpose, so I don't wake up the other 3 people who sleep in later or longer than me # socially #considerate / but I also like less noise & would enjoy a silent setup also, though going that route costs a fortune or is "So Expensive"
