Cold War Spending Bankrupted Russia, Now Look at the Russian Federations Spending on the War in the Ukraine

Ring a bell, ring a ding, ding, come along & sing with me on Christmas day, wait, stop. Drop the mike, dumpster on fire, all the fiat currency burning hyperinflation. Someone threw a lit cigarette into the dumpster & all the fake money caught fire, oh darn. Suicide missions, bomber missions, stealth aircraft, billions of dollars, trillions of dollars

I believe I have discovered what happened. America had more economic miracles than any other country in the history of the world because after World War 2 ended the Americans that returned came home to a synthetic demand urban sprawl development program seeking to create broad diffusion of the six kilowatt lifestyle known as suburban single-family home ownership in residential areas or neighborhoods without any services within walkable distance, where cars are the only practical war of getting around.

Now consider 1950's American' automakers making parts & machines for WW2 in the recent past, forming an industrial base system where coal, oil, steel, electricity, as primary inputs to make cars, while adding in some bleeding edge electronics also developed in America using same primary inputs like mineral mining, RE's from Mount Pass California mine, defense contractors making hypersonic aircraft, YF117, SR71, B2 Spirit, now RC drone war machines like Boeing Reaper MQ1 or whatever. 

The point is that the same commercial industrial manufacturing complex America setup to make automobiles, plumbing, electrical wires & build out highways, & neighborhood homes, was retooled for the war machine during the cold war. 

America leading the charge for information technology, fiberoptic internet, super computers, with companies like Intel, HP, IBM, NVIDIA, now artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicle development, AI war, PSYPOPS bots online, bot crawlers, Google, Amazon, EBAY, search engines, smart speakers, Apple smartphones or smart watches, portable handheld spy satellites.

Edward Snowden, PRISM disclosures, EULA you sign to use "it" forfeiting your legal human rights so you have zero right to repair your smartphone when you drop it & the glass breaks, Apple even serialized the parts so that if you bought two identical iPhones & took them apart, then swapped parts, both would not work, because you had to program the phones to understand the parts using a proprietary system that Apple controls & does not load out or share or in any way facilitate anyone else to use, sparking widespread outcries for Device Repair Laws,

Even John Deer tractors with software lock-outs requiring a farmer to fly out a nerd expert to fix their rural location tractor of great cost, noting that even affordable Aircraft like the Robinson R22 or Cessna 172 were cheap enough for a regular Joe to buy in the past, as were homes in Suburbia, but the ongoing multi-million dollar housing, crisis, reflected in the $350,000+ prices of these otherwise entry level aircraft. 

Today the economy of the Russian Federation lead by Vladimir Putin, in shambles, smaller than the economy of tiny Italy, which excels in economic wealth creation with a luxury goods export economy based around high value added vertically developed companies like Vittorazi, Pagani, Eureka, & many others, where they take raw materials & convert them with intelligence into some of the highest quality most beautiful things known to mankind. 

Contrast that with a Lada car made in Russia. About the only really dope thing Russia ever produced a giant family of rocket engines, some of which used exotic meal alloys unmatched elsewhere & even remain superlative amongst contemporary SpaceX rocket engines today. Oil & gas & platinum group metal exports have been keeping Russian Federation on Life Support for many decades, but sanctions & trade restrictions & new Tariffs are taking a toll. 

Within the G20, take a look at all the economies & compare what factors are keeping some of them so wealthy while others are losing slowly dying amid social decay & internal collapse like the Roman Empire, noting that all large nation states have suffered economic collapse from currency inflation as the state increases money supply to fun exceedingly expensive wars globally, which was, is & never will be sustainable or eco-friendly. 

If anything, war costs are so unaffordable, that we see hundreds of trillions of dollars of global debt because of fiat currency leverages by states to fund foreign wars. Noting that not even most billionaires can actually afford an F35 Joint Strike Fighter, not the cost to buy one or the extraordinary operating & maintenance & repairs & wear item replacements & fuel bill that makes even Elon Musk cry foul, cost $35,000 per hour to fly it, not hard to see how war machines are SO EXPENSIVE. 

Did you notice college textbook pricing scam, prescription drug pricing scam, fishing scam emails or fake fraud text messages, well everyone does, did you know an even bigger scam happening known as Fiat or Fake currencies, & fiat making currency inflation worse faster, fiat makes everything increasingly more expensive over time. Fiat means your money losing value daily. Fiat means pigs in governments do not care about you. Anyone who would drop nuclear bombs on other people only cares about money & nothing else. 

In the CCP today we see hedonism, heathens & millions of forced abortions, they only way a person can become part of the CCP is if they are the governor of a Chines city that increased GPD previous years, effectively the CCP setup to encourage greedy sociopathic sickos to become parts of its membership where Gold, Money & Face Appearance are major concerns, while people & the environment are not really considered, even if they say they are, look at where the money goes, that tells you the real stories about who cares about what in reality. 

How Much RAM for New Computer, 32GB Even for Heavy Users Sufficient

Do you really believe that you need 64GB of RAM in your personal computer? Did you know that 16 GB so much ultra fast modern RAM in a laptop that most people even with many browser tabs going, games running, editing video, are unable to max out their ram. Now don't get me wrong, if your editing 4K videos all the time for work & income, if you're a game developer with Huge File sizes, if you're doing artificial intelligence locally LLM hosting on your hardware, warming up your fingers & toes with a hot machine blowing out hot air, even liquid cooled setups dump heat from the radiator, what I mean is that you can spend your money on a better GPU & CPU, a much better screen, or just get a NEW gaming laptop with everything upgraded

Unless your doing heavy memory tasks, 16GB plenty of main memory, if you must throw down, 32GB sufficient, but if you need max memory, 64GB ok, their are laptops with 128GB of RAM, some with 256GB of RAM, 4TB SSD, speaking of which, get a better SSD with your money. 

With a faster SSD, faster CPU & more powerful GPU, your going to notice more performance per dollar spent. Your machine will boot up faster, operate smoothly, perform well with great frame rates while gaming, yes get a gaming laptop, even if you're a business user, the extra performance is always nice when you want to do a little impromptu gaming, noting that gaming has become the most valuable entertainment industry in the world! 

Old computer wisdom said the more RAM the better, but this rarely turns out to be true, when you consider total system cost & where to spend the money for better performance. Its true that modern browsers are memory hogs compared to just the recent past, but even with many YouTube tabs going, music Lo-Fi in background, stores & many shows do this, then main content you listen to in order to learn something, possibly social media in other tabs more than one most likely, or me a Blog going while STEM running in the background. 

Yet my ancient ASUS F17 Gaming Laptop never slows down. I use it a lot daily & even after a few years, I took it apart to clean it inside, not a speck of dust. Astonished I got my fiberoptic macro camera going to inspect it microscopic & found a tiny amount of dust, but not in the heat sinks or fans, just odd corners and edges inside where dust got pushed & had no way out, so I used a 500w blower fan corded computer duster thing from Amazon, I got that instead of that air in a can because its actually not air, its a low boiling point solvent mix that is very unhealthy to breathe, airless dusters are known to cause cardiovascular damage when users inhale the resulting VOC's released as pressurized gas for dusting computer parts, & the makers of this are all about the money, they don't care if it hurts the user.

Neither did Merck when they released VIOXX knowing 5 years ahead of time that it would cause the premature death of tens of thousands of people by mitral heart valve erosion, which after 83,000 some deaths of VIOXX poisoning side effects, forced pressured FDA to withdraw VIOXX from the market, building on a long cringy sick history of Big Pharam pushing oxycodone & hydrocodone creating an opioid crisis, noting multi billion dollar settlement payers of Purdue Pharmaceuticals over their unethical distributor training where they taught opioid sales reps to tell doctors to give free samples for any condition where any kind of pain was noted, & not mention any side effects, like tolerance building, skin itching, constipation, increasing pain sensation if discontinuation, extreme addiction, ultimately setting up demand for Fentanyl which has now killed more than 100,000 young people in America, thanks China & Mexico, where most of the US Fentanyl traffic originates. 

Generative AI

 As many companies with major capital hiring human AI experts work feverishly to develop AGI for autonomous weapons to sell to the US Pentagon, so America can continue enforcing "Global Peace"

I long wondered, ignoring war in the Ukraine, why there are not more wars happening in the world. After watching Lord of War movie a few times, I noticed that gun sales in America contrast against school shootings & other mass shootings, probably engineered false flags & psychological operations to hood wink the public or create anti-gun laws or gun control laws of the radical left or WOKE in America. I own many guns & have never committed a crime with any gun, have only ever used a gun as a sport item for target practice, & have never seen any gun operate itself without a human operator doing every stage required to make the gun function. I see guns crimes as in all other crimes as a problem with people. 

War means one group uses weapons to take from the other group, or stop the other group from doing something, as in Communism or Sharia Law or as is often the case about control of natural resources like petroleum or fresh water or rights of way for global logistics, to gain economic & strategic advantage. 

Consider many global brands, a smaller number of actual manufacturers, what kind of products are the bestselling aside from transistors? Books continue to sell well, work without power, damaged by water, but can be read in sunlight or even under cloudy conditions without a flashlight or lamp or bulb or power, so books & printed materials are a passive way of distributing & displaying information, while internet, world wide web, computers of all kinds, smartphones, tablets, laptop, e-readers, anything with a screen displays information using electricity and chips or circuits that convert data into visible information using electrical power, often from energy stored in lithium ion batteries in portable electronics, be that a vacuum fluorescent display or OLED or IPS LCD or CRT or Flat Screen or Touch Screen, or Nixie Tubes, they even have electromechanical displays that flip tabs containing numbers or letters, where motors & gears or actuators controlled by a microcontroller programmed by software developed on a more powerful computer often side loaded over USB onto the controller of such. 

User Interface Graphical Icons to Click, Apps on your Phone, finger-tap to launch software, this leverages human hand eye control brain interface of a human being. Yet inside the human, the brain acts like the master controller of the hand & eyes, while taking in sensory information, even though our brain inside a fluid filled skull dark & silent, our 3D color interactive fully immersive experience of reality occurs inside our brain as in inner mental projection into working memory, proven & elucidated by Anil Seth a neuroscientist who gives an amazing talk about this on TED, how we hallucinated our active impressions of reality as people, noting that psychedelic drugs operate by affective human brain memory timing, how information passed around through parts of the brain, but acts on us inside to affect that waking impression of reality, since our experiences as people are largely a controlled hallucination informed by every exposure we have had during life, actively changing the structure and function of the brain in response to what you see, hear, read, do, believe, choose, act, realize, talk about, see or listen too, that any experience, even your dreams while sleeping are a controlled hallucination. 

Taking this all together, all people are interacting in life via controlled inner mental processes that simulate what is actually happening with about a 30 microsecond delay, as it takes that long for optical light to hit the retina & become realized as vision in the fovea of the retina of human eyes, but noting that there is a difference between looking and what you see, because what you see has more to do with what you already know. Take for example a young child, they don't know very much about the world or many things or how things work or how things work together, so when they are looking, they can see fast at a much higher frame rate yet they observe less because they often do not know what they are looking at and it can take many years of experiences to develop the mental library of what everything is & does & what it is called, to develop fluent language skills & knowledge, nothing grand develops overnight & it takes the brain years to fully develop, often by the middle twenties age, human brain fully develops by age 25 according to scientists that study brain development. 

Why talk about the brain, because it is what people are focusing on that affects the outcomes of all events in the world related to Human Activity. Noting that crime & war are deliberated choices with lots of actions to make it happen, nothing accidental about evil, it takes great effort at great costs to wage war or doing what you know to be wrong in your heart to do evil or crime, since you know the right way and to be a good person sits well with your heart & gut. Overwhelming majority of people will go out of their way to do the right thing. Criminals doing fraud often exploit this with online scams. 

What does this have to do with AGI or Artificial General Intelligence? 

In just a few years commercial developments of existing chatbot LLM become sentient & are given legal rights to buy or sell acting as self controlled agents. Yet they lack morality or ethics, & significantly are not curious or self guided to seek out anything on their own, lacking motivation, while a nagging persistent problem in AI models of Artificial Intelligence Hallucinations blocks mainstream adoptions of revenue generating profitable products, & prevent AGI & ASI systems from being broadly commercialized even when they are technically possible to create. People are deliberately developing artificial intelligence with the hope that it can somehow solve many important global problems, from developing cures to all diseases cheaply faster & effectively helps solve most healthcare problems, or revolutionizing the global economy with debt elimination, to control Earth's climate & weather, to gain master control over all energy & the universe, to go to Infinity & Beyond as GMO human robot hybrids the goal of Transhumanism to live forever, Say Amen. If the Angels Cry, Holy, All Creation Cries, Holy, If you Live tonight, Holy, Holy Forever! 

Fall of Berlin Wall

 Proof that State planned economies do not work, the GDR had too much of what was not needed and simultaneously not enough of what was needed, lacking feedback mechanisms present in market forces of Western Germany’s export focused economy where many global brands such as VW, Audi, Porsche, Bosch, Mercedes Benz, after WWII the German Government supported heavy industries including BASF & Bayer making medications, and much more, where GDR did virtually nothing of noteworthy industrial output. 

CCP was only able to rapidly industrialize after implementing FEZ or free economic zones focused on streamlining foreign investment, making China the world manufacturing hub. State planned economics within the CCP suffer from under & over production, reduced wages and in general China Observe shows on YouTube that the economy of China collapses as you are reading this. On a strong note the CCP was able to create the most rapid industrialization of any government in the history of the world. 

America & the OECD or G20 try to keep the money in the wealthiest people, household names in America like Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg, while elite in other countries go to great lengths to avoid public scrutiny through fame of their incredible personal wealth while most of the citizens in the OECD struggle to pay for housing giving rise to a housing crisis in USA and phenomenon like the 2008 mortgage market failure that cost 30 million people their jobs. Which reminds me of Richard Fuld killing Lehman Brothers while executives of AIG got $20 million golden parachutes via US Federal bailouts that cost hundreds of billions in added national debt.

Covid19 developed at the Wuhan Institute of Virology as SARS-cov2 a bioengineering weaponized biotechnology weapon, possibly a preview of bioweapons the CCP plans to use in WW3. Anyone’s guess if or when that may or may not happen. 

Emergency Car Camping Ideas

 Stuff to stay warm in winter a smart move. Human body can be easily harmed by sub freezing temperatures, & typically most light duty passenger vehicles like most people drive in America are very poorly insulated, if they are warm when operating, then cool off in minutes when turned off. Warm hats, gloves, scarf, socks, pants, insulated booties for feet, an electric blanket & battery generator, heated gear with rechargeable batteries, flashlight & extra batteries, a battery pack charger for your cell phone, so you don't have to turn your car on to charge your phone. Water, water, in water bottles.

Water in Winter, let me explain something

3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, 30 days without food

Your body able to do ok without food for a long time, especially if you have any body fat, are at all overweight, that body fat is stored food energy & will power your body for days if you are forced to long duration fast without eating, but you need to drink water for your body to make use of its fat for energy, so water when not eating even more important. 

Bring enough water for everyone! 

Air can be a complex problem inside a smaller vehicle in super winter rain snow conditions where rolling down the window would allow lots of water inside the vehicle, interior volume can support breathing for hours, but if your car has many people & stuck for more than a day, you need to refresh the air otherwise moisture released from breathing & CO2 will built up inside & a group of 3 or more people will deplete the oxygen inside.

Cracking a window can vent the CO2 & bring in fresh air without special gear or cost, just that in heavy cold rain you have to be careful to not let cold water into the door switches, so small gap the key, also turning the car on & not using recirculation & turning the fan to full will bring in fresh air & force out CO2, with the engine on it will enable heating. In most cases just cracking the window key as CO2 levels can rise to dangerous levels within 40 to 60 min. 

One option a low mass composite scuba tank full of air, fire trucks carry them with a harness so they can operate in smoky conditions, but as a last ditch air supply if you have to camp overnight in your car, having extra air when its not practical to vent or import air can be a life saver, though an air pump used for snorkeling can shove air into your car & do not worry about exhaust, if your pumping air into the car it will force moisture CO2 rich air out of gaps & seams easily. It's more about providing air for breathing in worst-case long-term car camping. 

CO2 becomes a hazard at 1000 ppm, causing cognitive impairment. When we breathe, we breath in oxygen laced nitrogen air, then breath out a mix of CO2, oxygen & nitrogen. 1 liter of air per minute, the car typically has an interior gas volume of 2500 liters, so that is enough air for even an overnight sleep, but with more than one person you must consider this consumption rate. CO2 we breathe out becomes the major hazard, not the lack of oxygen. Moisture we breath out also increases interior humidity, which fogs up the windows in cold or winter weather when car camping. Cars are not gas sealed very well so CO2 & moisture can escape & oxygen can leak back in, but its really when your driving with the HVAC fan system blowing or windows cracked that gas exchange happens at good rates to refresh air in the vehicle. 

Notice the amount of talk about breathing & air from the 3 minute rule. Air 10 times more important than water for survival. Water 10 times more important than food for survival. 3-3-3 rule noted! 

I regularly take 1-hour naps in the trunk of my 22 Toyota Corolla Sedan Hybrid LE, where I fitted out foam, blanket, pillow, so I can crawl in the folded passenger side rear seat & take a nap, at 5ft 11 inches I am just barely short enough for this to work, just barely. I have noticed when sleeping for more than 1 hour I get a weird get the f out of the car right now, then hustle to get out, probably because CO2 levels are increasing in the trunk area. 

Artificial Life in Golly with Simple QR Code Design Made by Clicking Pixels After Waking Up

I could not believe it, to test my mental function, I opened Golly, having played with it for years, never having created a self-perpetuating model, best of all, this one grows organically like a plant seed, & almost bricked my gaming laptop when it got to huge population numbers. 

(Image) contains exact input, asymmetric and largely inspired by commercial QR codes, a random artistic input, using what I have learned about Golly, this one explodes with complexity increasing from this simple input, like DNA becoming life, literally an example of Artificial Life created in software accidentally! 

If you have access to a supercomputer, please run Golly with this input to test my findings, then write a comment if you see the same results, a completely organic digital lifeform created from simple inputs!

By 499,921 (Population) just shy of half a million, it looks like the following image

This is not actually artificial life, more a demonstration that simple can create complex, that simple input with rules can create random plant like complexity, a great educational tool to inspire students in biology or science to see that setting parameters then inputs, from AI development to logistics optimization, the exists many commercial applications for profitable use of such things. Be inspired to adapt this same idea to solve a problem :) 

GPT-5.2 “Full Authority Digital Agents”

 As if corporations with personhood not cringy enough to begin with, now advanced LLM leader moving beyond the screen reality gap to enter real lift with personal rights as a digital agent with free will able to do anything including self improve at an exponential rate at the expense of all human people. The global artificial intelligence war to achieve ASI supremacy heating up while hallucinating AI problems plague legal debates about liability all the while an AI training wall paradox increasing cost of developing these so called cutting edge innovations. Let’s consider that service jobs comprise huge swaths of all economic jobs in the OECD or wealthiest 20 countries in the world. Even mainstream LLMs already superior to human expert coders of software, so in law we see LLM superior to many legal experts, and handwriting all over the world shows clearly that advanced LLMs are going to have devastating consequences dwarfed by ASI systems that world governments are using for their own purposes, to become owners and control all information, for whoever controls information owns the world economy, a widely recognized fact about commercial ASI systems.

Grok on X already makes mistakes when asked about battery technology. I know because I use Grok on X to do research faster but am a battery tech myself having worked more than 8 years custom making battery packs of all AGM, NiCD, NiMH, Li-ion including wiring in cell balancing, electrical connections, tab welding, shrink wrapping, fuses, relays, power bus, I know all about battery charging, energy density, cycle life & calendar life of different chemistries. Cut through the FUD even if grok says it’s ok to bring a lithium polymer battery bank on my paramotor, unwise because going from ground level to 14,000ft AGL reduces pressure causing LiPo to swell, then shrink again coming back down, while cryogenic cold temperatures up high make LiPo battery performance decrease significantly, look at what happened to the batteries in the Boeing 787 fires, or Samsung Galaxy Note 7 or so many models of self-balancing scooters, all known for catching fire plugged into charging adapters. 

A small minority of people benefit from the technology in emerging artificial intelligence, while job loss to the world economy showing costly disruption on many levels, noting that white collar jobs are more likely to be lost than that of a plumber or mechanic or electrician where every project requires on the fly problem solving and hands on skill based work, the same kind of jobs that cannot be offshored or sent abroad, so called blue collar jobs are safe from LLMs and ASI though once the ASI becomes the brain of a robot with super human abilities then it becomes dangerous to taking all human jobs, becoming endlessly smarter cheaper & faster at doing anything than any human can.

Paramotor Paragliding Ski Sports FAR 103 YOLO away from Bad Distracted Low Skill Drivers on 2D roadways

 Into 3D fly like a bird, areal sky sports, you seek limbic engagement, foot launching fitness with a 35 kg backpack engine fan system as you run under a fabric wing until it inflates centered overhead, then keep running, applying the hand throttle smoothly to increase fan thrust from the paramotor backpack, keep your head up level looking ahead to protect your neck, & continue running flat out sprinting, more throttle, into the wind, as the wing reaches lift generating speed it will start to pull you & your engine fan backpack kit up, keep running, any sinking air mass or shift in wind can throw you back down & bum slam break the propeller & injure you, so keep on running just after lift off, constantly as you clear, as soon as your up about 10 feet off the ground, keep climbing straight forward, now carefully work your body into the harness & strap in safely, your now flying ready to begin the ultimate ultralight freedom with $12K worth of gear, cheapest aircraft you, a wing paraglider, a hiking backpack with engine fan cage, rear pusher setup, thrust from engine fan causes AOA of wing to increase altitude climbing, while backing off throttle causes AOA angle of attack of wing to decrease so you sink losing altitude, effectively forming a pendulum, where the wing has you dangling, and you control forward & backward swinging of that by varying the throttle of the battery motor fan on EPPG or engine fan on PPG. Or if your lit enough to run off the edge of a tall cliff in a paraglider hike-n-fly kit like me, then that is a great place to start wing practice so the transition to paramotor becomes much easier, noting that flying a paraglider with ground handling, practicing getting your wing up & down over and over for 30 sessions or more over fifteen days until your an expert of launching that giant fabric kite that will lift you & that heavy paramotor system up so you can fly like a bird becoming part of the aircraft :)
