Politicians pat themselves on the back for all types of things that they don't actually accomplish. Last night, here, the launched fireworks by the people and not by the municipal folks, was the loudest I've ever heard. Now I know, why this place is called Boomland There remain pockets of free and brave folks in the USA.

Yes, there was that two percent tax; then 3% set things right. It only took 3%

Do Brits shoot off fireworks, grill out, brink Budweiser, listen to American music all day today? I almost got a little emotional this morning, dashing around this small town in the center of America. Everyone here is so thoughtful, caring, polite, to each other everyday, just as they are today

There's a difference between information/data and knowledge. I think knowledge implies an understanding. There is definitely an enormous increase in data, and it leaps into applications before reasonable knowledge of that data is understood. There is a race to push the data in the name of corporate profits. IMO caution was thrown to the wind too often.

Does Carlo offer a solution?

To answer the OP question; I'd say that the overwhelming vast majority of them are in a grave somewhere

I'm starting to think that human stupidity is more dangerous than evil. Like the old saying goes, "You can't fix stupid" And there's no end to it.

O3b, Spiritual acuity for masses runs along a predictable measurable cycle? Is this correct? If so, how far out are we from re-arriving at a good time?

Welcome Back Taomeow.

On or about the next mass extinction.

just wanted to share some thoughts on the lighter side of things i hope at some moment of this day that you did experience some laughter?! was it a reaction from hearing a joke? were you being tickled? did you experience joy? or happiness? did you have an evil laugh?

Speaking of "cooked" or half cooked; It's gonna be hot out there, been hot, How hot is it? https://www.ky3.com/2025/06/23/cape-girardeau-mo-road-buckles-heat/ https://www.newsweek.com/nws-predicts-two-states-temperatures-hot-death-valley-2089325 When it gets hotter than the hottest place on Earth, that's hot. Sometimes, maybe, I wish I was down under, this time of year . Instead, here I am, sitting, sipping a fresh brewed steaming cup of coffee, Cheers!

To be enjoyed, Regardless of whatever Another fabulous opportunity Here & Dao

If you like life to the point of wanting more of it; if you’ve found a way that keeps life’s struggles, disappointments, heartbreaks, horrifics, calamities, from beating you down, if you’ve reached the golden years And still yearn for more, platinum or palladium years,,, it’s not that you dread a physical death, far from it, as that is the next fantastical adventure,,, yet, for whatever personal reasons you may have,, continuing your current adventures in the physical realm remain attractive for you,,, this thread is for you. I started here in 2009, when 90+% of my breath had died. https://archive.org/details/taoisthealthexer0000dali Time for me to do a re-read and I wholeheartedly recommend ya’ll take a look at it. Da Liu never once visited a doctor and lived in good health ninety six years. Different strokes for different folks. There are a few that lived to 108+ while smoking cigars and drinking whisky; this method won’t work for everyone. Get in where you fit in. There are meditations and qigong that enable those in their seventies to feel like they’re seventeen. These gifts are bestowed, rarely, you don’t order them off google. The movie, The Green Mile touched upon some drawbacks of extended longevity. Always be careful what you wish for. I like the YouTube channel Physionic Here’s a sample episode I like Baguazhang with it’s Limitless potentials

,,,,,,,,On Monday, when it was hard to access the site--labeled as software issues-- The days leading up to that, all the talk of giant solar flares that could knock out orbiting satellites, causing all kinds of problems to our tech, the phrase "sending us back to the stone age" was used. I noticed other websites were hobbled and thought ( hopefully) this is not software issues; it is solar flare mayhem (magic) Concerning the matchup between tech and solar flares, I was pulling for solar flares. Maybe, next time. Here we are, having resigned our agency to the Great Computer, The Machine,,, We shouldn't even think about it, just sit back eat bon bons and let AI do it all for us. What could possibly go wrong? In boxing terminology; tech has some technical skills, and a game plan. Brave Helios on the other hand, probably doesn't even have a game plan. What Brave Helios lacks with that, it makes up for with raw power. Boxer vs Puncher. If I'm in Brave Helios' corner, I'm saying this; ok, we didn't win that round. But tech must win every round. And all we need is one well placed left hook or a one-two combination and it's game over. Now go out this round and send that pretender back to the stone age.

So, GPT is just like me and many of my former classmates. Yes, Professor, we read the assignment.... And then we C&P something we found scanning the internet, re-wording it, presenting it as our authentic opinion.

now that's quite a claim! Yet, hardly,,, They're all so big and heavy. Even the mini. Back in the day, I often reminded myself of how heavy gold was; and wearing it or even having it added so much weight, it prevented personal flight. Invisible things can also be heavy like that. Heavier, still. Only child know. In a sky full of people only some want to fly. Isn't that crazy? In a world full of people only some want to fly. Isn't that crazy? And then you see things The size of which you've never known before. If all were there when we first took the pill. Then maybe. (Slight sigh, shy) Those around criticize and sleep. What? Who? Stranger Things? Could be. Should be. Would be. Then she looked at me with those big bright eyes and said, You ain't seen nothing yet. @Nungali Bubby, we all post worst things sometimes.

Thanks again! It's ok to spoon feed me. I knew Goethe was a huge fan of Ovid, and why not. Once upon a time, I used Ovid as master of how to play "the game" Still knowing, how deep Ovid was in just about every aspect of life. I take the Ancient Greeks as ultra advanced. The Hellenistic influences of Ovid are undeniable. Perhaps every poet traces back to Homer in some way,,,, It's a long list of who's who that've been influenced by Ovid. Two of those being Dante & Shakespeare.

Perhaps. Unravelling Goethe's Faust is daunting and totally worthwhile. The closing scene you shared from the Marlow play was well done IMO. On a much smaller scale and depth, although seemingly as surreal, I have an experience from early 2020 that reminds me of Faust climbing up the Brocken. I was accompanied on that trek by "twitchi" and her cloven hooves. It's all in my ppj thread, now hidden, curiously named In the Company of Devils. I think there is enough distance in time and location, that I may return to it and finish it up. Basically, it's 200 pages of notes of things that ( I could possibly forget) happened from August 2018-April 2020. There are plenty of things went on I won't ever forget that I need to add to it. Supernatural was commonplace. Thank you for your fine analysis. I hadn't realized the Philemon connection between Ovid and Goethe, if I had once been aware of that, I had since forgot it.

Nice, thanks for sharing I expected someone to bring up Carl Jung.

Good hook, or no?
