The Poet: Neil Gaiman, "What You Need To Be Warm "
"What You Need To Be Warm "
by Neil Gaiman
"A baked potato of a winters night to wrap
your hands around or burn your mouth.
A blanket knitted by your mother's cunning fingers.
Or your grandmother's.
A smile, a touch, trust, as you walk in from the snow
or return to it, the tips of your ears pricked pink and frozen.
The tink tink tink of iron radiators waking in an old house.
To surface from dreams in a bed,
burrowed beneath blankets and comforters,
the change of state from cold to warm is all that matters, and you think
just one more minute snuggled here before you face the chill. Just one.
Places we slept as children: they warm us in the memory.
We travel to an inside from the outside.
To the orange flames of the fireplace
or the wood burning in the stove.
Breath-ice on the inside of windows,
to be scratched off with a fingernail, melted with a whole hand.
Frost on the ground that stays in the shadows, waiting for us.
Wear a scarf. Wear a coat. Wear a sweater.
Wear socks. Wear thick gloves.
An infant as she sleeps between us. A tumble of dogs,
a kindle of cats and kittens.
Come inside. You're safe now.
A kettle boiling at the stove. Your family or friends are there.
They smile.
Cocoa or chocolate, tea or coffee,
soup or toddy, what you know you need.
A heat exchange, they give it to you, you take the mug
and start to thaw.
While outside, for some of us, the journey began
as we walked away from our grandparentshouses
away from the places we knew as children:
changes of state and state and state,
to stumble across a stony desert, or to brave the deep waters,
while food and friends, home, a bed, even a blanket become just memories.
Sometimes it only takes a stranger, in a dark place,
to hold out a
badly-knitted scarf, to offer a kind word, to say
we have the right to be here,
to make us warm in the coldest season.
You have the right to be here. "

"Is the middle class really dead? In this eye-opening video, I break down the shocking proof that middle-class life as we knew it is disappearing. From skyrocketing living costs to massive layoffs, credit card delinquencies, and inflation that won’t stop, the numbers tell a grim story. You’ll also hear about how even those making six figures in some parts of the U.S. are barely scraping by. This isn't just about money - it's about survival in a system that’s working against us."

"The Simpsons, Radioactive Potato Salad, And Running Out Of Electricity"
"The Simpsons, Radioactive Potato Salad,
And Running Out Of Electricity"
by John Wilder
"You know, Oppenheimer probably didn’t realize that his little gadget would one day power cat videos on YouTube®. But yet, here we are, preparing to stare down the barrel of an energy crisis that makes the 1970s oil embargo look like a minor hiccup at the gas pump.
America’s tech overlords are building A.I. data centers faster than a caffeinated beaver on gas station Chinese boner pills. These behemoths suck down electricity like it’s free beer at an open bar to toss electrons so we can make A.I. cat videos because there weren’t enough cats in real life. The scale is enormous: gigawatts upon gigawatts, enough to finally get Marty all the way back to 1985. But that begs this question: Where’s all that juice coming from?
Coal? Ha! That’s so 19th century, and the eco-warriors have pretty much chained themselves to the last coal plant, screaming about carbon footprints. Natural gas? Did everyone forget demand peaks in winter when everyone is cranking up the heat and prices spike like Nvidia® stock? Are we going to have to keep our homes at 40°F (3.14 millipedes) just so ChatGPT® can make GloboLeftist women on the East Coast even more neurotic?
We need power, so, naturally, the bright sparks in Silicon Valley and D.C. turn to the holy grail: The Simpsons. Sure, Homer® looks incompetent, but he hasn’t melted Springfield down. Yet. When The Simpsons started, they were mocking nuclear power in the typical GloboLeft drive to get it shut down. Deep down, though, nuclear really always has been the only viable transition plan into the future. Oil really will run out at some point, abiotic or not. But nuclear? If done right, it really can be clean, reliable, and if we don’t let Soviets do it, pretty safe. So, problem solved.
Not. We’re facing an immediate energy cliff. In 2025, nuclear isn’t a parachute, it’s really more like a bedsheet and some twine. With a little help from Constant Reader Ricky, who sent me an email. I’ll quote him directly because, well, he nails it better than I could.
Ricky writes: “Existing commercial power reactors in the US have two key characteristics – their uranium is enriched from the natural 0.7% U-235 assay to a level of 3%, and they are cooled with pressurized water as the heat transfer fluid to run the turbines. The reactors were INITIALLY fueled via uranium enrichment done long ago in monstrous factories that are now closed. An effectively experimental centrifuge enrichment operation in Piketon, Ohio shut down in 2016 without ever producing a pound of reactor fuel (we bombed a similar setup recently in Iran).
Believe it or not, the US CURRENTLY fuels its commercial nuclear power reactors for the past ten years with Russian 3% enriched uranium, even through the Ukrainian war. The Russians basically dilute some of their bomb grade 93% enriched uranium stockpile down into 3% reactor fuel as an export profit center.”
Key point courtesy of Ricky: “The current American commercial nuclear power program is 100% dependent on the Russians and has been for the last decade.” He adds, “But we want that because that every kilogram of Russian uranium that goes IN a New York City power reactor is one less kilogram of Russian uranium that can go into an incoming nuclear bomb OVER New York City.” He’s right. I want the Russians to hit the Somilsotans first. And then New York City twice. It’s the only way to be sure.
It’s like we’re in a bad spy novel, relying on our geopolitical rivals for the fuel that keeps our lights on. We can stamp our feet as much as we want to, but as long as Mom and Dad are paying the power bills, they call the shots.
With AI data centers projected to gobble up an extra 200-300 gigawatts by 2050 (that’s tripling our nuclear capacity), we’re supposed to ramp up nuclear like it’s no big deal. It’s like the steady high school girlfriend you’ve been dating off and on for a year who you can always call for a date at the last minute.
Nope. Building that kind of capacity? Recent estimates peg adding just 63 GW at $354 billion. We’re talking trillions when you factor in overruns. The Vogtle plant in Georgia – two reactors, “just” 2.2 GW, clocked in at $35 billion after fifteen years of delays. Nuclear power makes NASA look prompt and frugal.
Okay, we’ll just do micro-reactors. Except these micro wonders ditch the “obsolete” 3% enriched uranium for something hotter: 20% enriched stuff, packaged in pellets like, I don’t know, energy kibble. Supposedly, they’re meltdown-proof, corrosion-resistant, great with kids, fun at parties, and perfect for high-temperature gas or molten salt reactors. And they’re much smaller than kibble, like poppy seed sized, but kibble is a funnier word and I really don’t want to think how stupid it is to build highly radioactive balls that you could put into someone’s potato salad at the neighborhood picnic?
Cool, so where do we get this 20% enriched uranium for our nuclear kibble? We downblend our surplus bomb-grade stuff from the Cold War. The US has 480 metric tons total, but half is reserved for nuking India (it’s the only way to be sure), and 100 tons reserved for Navy reactors. Bringing those numbers up to date and turning it into nuclear kibble leaves 86 metric tons up for grabs.
So, we have a safe plan. What’s stopping us? Adding 250 GW of new nuclear by 2050 (a Department of Energy guess) requires 5,350 metric tons (it’s like a ton, but it has a French accent) of enriched uranium kibble. Do the math: 86 tons available vs. 5,350 needed? It’s like trying to fill an Olympic®-sized pool by spitting into it.
Okay, let’s restart a program that used to make the stuff. Great! The Piketon, Ohio centrifuge plant we mentioned above, let’s use that. They’re planning on delivering 900 kilograms (a ton for those of us from countries that have put people on the Moon) by 2026. So, we need over 5,000 tons. We’ve made one. Oh, scratch that, not even one yet. Want to take odds on that bet?
Even if we magically create tons of usable uranium, Harry Potter-style®, there’s no supply chain for turning it into nuclear kibble. Right now, it’s a prototype lab in New Mexico fiddling with demos. We’d need a whole new industry. And we’d need to have started on this (checks watch) twenty years ago. That’s the bitch of exponential growth. We could play with 2030 numbers (“only” 50 GW), but since no concrete has been poured for this new capacity and there is no path to creating this fuel, it’s more realistic to discuss if Superman© could beat The Witcher®. It’s a non-starter.
We’re dependent on foreign fuel, short on domestic capacity, and staring at timelines measured in decades, not quarters. Maybe it’s time to rethink the whole “AI will save us” stock market hype or at least stock up on candles and spears. And hey, if that microreactor ends up in my yard, Homer© and I will host a barbecue, BYOGC. (Bring your own Geiger counters, you know, potato salad). Thank heavens we let The Simpsons create our energy policy."
"Shorting Evil"
"Shorting Evil"
by Robert Gore
Excerpt: "Evil is in a topping formation. Evil is completely dependent on the good it attempts to destroy. When good discovered fire, invented the wheel, and started planting seeds, evil invented government. Evil produces nothing, it only commands, coerces, enslaves, destroys, and murders. Gigantic tombs loom over Egypt’s desert, built by slaves millennia ago, monuments to rulers’ vanity. A single farmer working the Nile’s alluvial soil produced more than any pharaoh, yet the former had to send a portion of his crop to the latter. Nothing has changed since then. How do the production and lives of the good become the property of evil?
Force, fear, and fraud are the usual answers, but they can’t be the entire answer. Rulers and their military and police forces are always vastly outnumbered by the ruled. Revolts have brought down countless governments. Yet, why have most people down through the ages not revolted but endured the force, fear, and fraud?
The trick is to get the ruled to assign their right in their own lives to the rulers, acting as the purported agent of a collective. If the mass of people accept the proposition that there is a cause or causes greater than themselves, the rest is easy. So, find a greater cause - God, country, fighting evil enemies domestic or foreign, fighting a deadly germ, safety, the common good, the public interest, global warming, global cooling, climate change - the list is endless.
The people will fight wars, pay taxes, comply with every absurd law and regulation, mask up, lockdown, take deadly vaccines, embrace misery, and line up for the concentration camps. Who am I, they might ask, to question, to object, to fight, to revolt? They’ve already answered that question. They’ve surrendered their lives and souls; they are nobodies. Figuratively and perhaps literally, these corpses will join the stack in the ditch or the ashes in the crematorium.
The rulers expertly play their emotions, but what stirs their greatest passion is the occasional odd man or woman out - the ones who refuse to assign their lives to the collective. The nothings burn the somethings at the stake; self-loathing finds its expression in destruction and death.
By a wide margin no person or institution has caused more destruction and death than governments. Evil and governments are joined at the hip, and history’s bloodiest epoch, from World War I right up to today, has also been the epoch of its largest and most totalitarian governments. That’s no coincidence.
That epoch is drawing to its bloody close. Evil finds itself undone by its perpetual nemesis, its inability to produce. Honest income statements for the world would show that production and income are in decline. Honest balance sheets would show that the world is bankrupt, debt far in excess of assets and almost every asset already pledged as collateral, often several times over.
The rapacity of evil knows no limits. Plans are supposedly being made for a Great Taking, which will hoover up much of the world’s book entry claims - or in the lingo of the thieves, subordinated security entitlements - on income and assets. Those entitlements are subordinated to “secured creditors,” the largest participants in the derivatives complex. Imagine losing your stocks to Goldman Sachs. The grim joke is on evil. A Great Taking may well happen - once. Evil will feed itself for a few weeks or months, but just like its victims, it will ultimately own nothing."

"Complexity Theory: The Avalanche and the Snowflake"
"Complexity Theory:
The Avalanche and the Snowflake"
by James Rickards
"One of my favorites is what I call ‘the avalanche and the snowflake’. It’s a metaphor for the way the science actually works, but I should be clear: it’s not just a metaphor. The science, the mathematics and the dynamics are actually the same as those that exist in financial markets.
Imagine you’re on a mountainside. You can see a snowpack building up on the ridgeline while it continues snowing. You can tell just by looking at the scene that there’s danger of an avalanche. It’s windswept… it’s unstable… and if you’re an expert, you know it’s going to collapse and kill skiers and wipe out the village below. You see a snowflake fall from the sky onto the snowpack. It disturbs a few other snowflakes that lie there. Then, the snow starts to spread… then it starts to slide… then it gains momentum until, finally, it comes loose and the whole mountain comes down and buries the village.
Question: What do you blame? Do you blame the snowflake, or do you blame the unstable pack of snow? I say the snowflake’s irrelevant. If it wasn’t the one snowflake that caused the avalanche, it could have been the one before, or the one after, or the one tomorrow. The instability of the system as a whole was the problem. So when I think about the risks in the financial system, I don’t focus on the ‘snowflake’ that will cause problems. The trigger doesn’t matter.
A snowflake that falls harmlessly – the vast majority of all snowflakes - technically fails to start a chain reaction. Once a chain reaction begins, it expands exponentially, can ‘go critical’ (as in an atomic bomb) and release enough energy to destroy a city. However, most neutrons do not start nuclear chain reactions, just as most snowflakes do not start avalanches.
In the end, it’s not about the snowflakes or neutrons. It’s about the initial critical state conditions that allow the possibiity of a chain reaction or an avalanche. These can be hypothesized and observed at large scale, but the exact moment the chain reaction begins cannot be observed. That’s because it happens on a minute scale relative to the system. This is why some people refer to these snowflakes as ‘black swans’, because they are unexpected and come by surprise. But they’re actually not a surprise if you understand the system’s dynamics and can estimate the system scale.
It’s a metaphor, but really the mathematics behind it are the same. Financial markets today are huge, unstable mountains of snow waiting to collapse. You see it in the gross notional value of derivatives. There is $700 trillion worth of swaps. ($2.5 Quadrillion by other reputable estimates. - CP) These are derivatives off balance sheet, hidden liabilities in the banking system of the world. These numbers are not made up. Just go to the IS annual report and it’s right there in the footnote.
Well, how do you put $700 trillion into perspective? It’s ten times global GDP. Take all the goods and services in the entire world for an entire year. That’s about $88 trillion when you add it all up. Well, take ten times that, and that’s how big the snow pile is. And that’s the avalanche that’s waiting to come down."

"$2.5 Quadrillion Disaster Waiting to Happen –
Egon von Greyerz"
By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
"There is sufficiency in the world
for Man's need but not for his greed."
- Mahatma Gandhi
"Egon von Greyerz (EvG) stores gold for clients at the biggest private gold vault in the world buried deep in the Swiss Alps. EvG is a financial and precious metals expert. EvG is a former Swiss banker and an expert in risk. He says the risk in the global markets has never been this high.
EvG explains, “Credit has increased dramatically through derivatives. All instruments being issued now by banks, pension funds, stock funds, it’s all synthetic. There is no real underlying payments in anything almost. Therefore, my estimate for derivatives would be at least $2 quadrillion, and I think that is probably conservative. Then, we have debt on top of that of $300 trillion, and we also have a couple hundred trillion dollars of unfunded liabilities. So, we are talking about $2.5 QUADRILLION, and that’s with a global GDP of $88 trillion. So, there is a disaster waiting to happen, and especially because all this created money has created no value whatsoever. I always knew this would collapse, and it’s taken longer than I expected, but I think we are at the end of a major era.
These derivatives, at some point soon, will actually turn into debt. Central banks will have to cover all the outstanding liabilities of the commercial banks as we are seeing now with Credit Suisse, Bank of England and etc. This is going to happen across the board. Whether it’s called derivatives or called debt, as far as I am concerned, it’s the same thing. It will have the same effect on the world financial system, which will be disastrous, of course.”
EvG says the derivative markets were simply a way for financial institutions to carry debt and not show it on their balance sheets. In the end, everything will balance out. EvG goes on to say, “Nobody can repay the debt, and they can’t even pay interest. So, therefore, when the debt implodes, so will the assets that were financed by this debt. So, both sides of the balance sheet have to come down. Whether it comes down by 50%, 75% or 90%, I don’t know. All I think about is risk, and the financial system will not survive in its present form. Central banks only use one kind of medicine, and that is more printed money. Now, you are getting negative returns on printed money. So, that is not going to save anything.
Sadly we are looking at a situation when this system will start to implode. The rich are still rich, but the poor are really poor. Overall in the UK, Germany and most European countries, people don’t have enough money to live. This is a human disaster already. With food costs going up 25% and energy going up the same and gasoline, interest rates and rents, people don’t have enough money, and that is happening now. It’s a human disaster of mega proportions. It’s so sad, and governments will have no chance of doing anything about it. The risk is increasing exponentially, and it is going to get worse.” There is much more in the 43-minute interview.

Greg Hunter, "Headed for a Derivative Meltdown"
"Headed for a Derivative Meltdown"
by Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
"Financial writer and precious metals expert Bill Holter (aka Mr. Gold) said at the beginning of November that there was “more risk in the financial system now than any time ever.” There are so many ways the system can break down it’s hard to keep track, but let’s start with exploding silver prices that happened at the end of last week. Holter says, “In a 48-hour period of time, silver was up over $5 per ounce. It’s pretty clear and pretty obvious that something behind the scenes is breaking. We know that the lease rates have exploded. We know that the borrow rates on SLV have exploded. We also know that in the last 5 to 7 years, silver has been in a deficit. At this point, you are looking at a 400-million-ounce deficit on an annual basis, and global production is 850 million ounces. The rumor is somebody has put in a $20 billion order, which would mean 400 million ounces. If that is the case, that order cannot be met, and that will create shark infested waters. If somebody stands for delivery and it looks like it may be difficult for them to get delivery, then everybody is going to stand for delivery because they know that their contracts are worthless.”
What would happen if there is an actual failure to deliver in the silver market? Mr. Gold says, “If that gets confirmed, then that one day you will see a huge spike, but markets won’t open after that. That will cascade. What will happen is all the COMEX contracts for both silver and gold will default. That will spill over to the rest of the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange). It has contracts on US Treasuries and stocks. They have contracts on everything. If the silver contracts blow up and the gold contracts blow up, how much confidence are you going to have on pork bellies or stocks. The derivative market is $2 quadrillion. In the future, you are going to measure your wealth by how many ounces of silver and how many ounces of gold you own. Once you get a failure to deliver, you will get a Mad Max scenario. Failure to deliver will melt down all derivatives. The world runs on credit, and credit runs on faith. If you break faith, then you have a real problem in the financial markets and the real economy.”
In closing, Holter warns, “The problem is there is very little collateral left. Everything has been borrowed against already.” Holter is not alone in his thinking about huge risk in the system. It appears billionaire investors Jeff Gundlach and Ray Dalio agree with Holter, and they are warning of liquidity problems. For the first time in their successful careers, they are both buying physical gold.
On a total system stopping derivative meltdown, Holter says, “Most people think it is not possible, and it can’t happen. Mathematically, a meltdown in derivatives that melts everything down is coming. It’s over. Mathematically, it’s over.” There is much more in the 41-minute interview.

Bill Bonner, "Payers of Interest"
"Payers of Interest"
by Bill Bonner
"Money, said the seven sages of Greece, is the blood and soul
of men and he who has none wanders dead among the living."
- Scipion De Gramont
Baltimore, Maryland - "If time is money, money must be time. And time is life. So, the people who control the money must also control our time. Most people count their lives in time - in hours, weeks, months. Each one represents so many Franklins...or Jacksons...or Washingtons. From 9 to 5...or 8 to 4...their best hours are exchanged for money. But if the money is bent...so is time...and the economy...government...society...and the lives of millions of people.
The new post-1971 money corrupted time. Instead of earning 5% or even 4% on our savings each year, the Fed cut the interest rates (to stimulate the economy!)...and suddenly, 12 months went by but yielded only half as much interest. Time stretched out...it took twice as long to yield the same return.
Real assets - the kind you had to work to earn and then save - lost value. It was now credit that you wanted. Because, as the reward for saving money was cut in half - or more - the reward for borrowing it doubled! Not only did you pay half as much interest, but you could look forward to inflation to reduce the value of the principle too.
In replacing real money with credit money, the Nixon administration rocked the ground under our feet. Gradually our eyes shifted from the plus side of our balance sheets - where we owned real things...cars...houses...bank accounts - to the minus side, where we owed money to banks, mortgage companies and credit card outfits. Gradually, too, our focus moved away from the customers, employers, neighbors and entrepreneurs with whom we exchanged goods and services to earn real money; credit money came from none of them. Instead, its source was, ultimately, the US government.
But credit is not the same as real money. Owning a house is not the same as paying a mortgage on one. Even with a 30-year mortgage a family might look forward to that joyful day when the house actually belongs to them, free and clear. But as the Fed lowered interest rates, the attraction of paying off the mortgage diminished; they could refinance...once...twice...remaining in debt forever. And with a 50-year mortgage, the battle is lost at the beginning; the family is doomed to live in a house that it will probably never own.
The switch to funny money didn’t just herald the decline of the dollar. It also bent, twisted, stunted, and warped the whole economy...and everyone in it. It turned a nation of proud, honest, independent owners...into a sad race of indentured servants. They are indentured to politicians - nearly 100 million people rely on some form of money from the government. And they rely on the private credit industry too.
Phys.org: "New research from King’s Business School and the Federal Reserve Board reveals that most credit limit increases are not requested by consumers but are automatically applied by banks’ algorithms, often to borrowers already in debt. The study, “Automated Credit Limit Increases and Consumer Welfare,” finds that roughly four in five credit limit increases in the United States are initiated by banks rather than consumers. These automatic increases now account for more than $40 billion in additional available credit every quarter, most of it extended to customers who already carry balances."
All eyes are on the Fed. If it lowers rates, stocks will boom and mortgages will be refinanced. If it raises them...a credit dependent nation will sigh and grumble. Almost everyone now depends on government-sourced credit just to stay afloat.
Time is a friend to the man with money to let. Every month brings him more earnings...which can then compound...eventually giving him substantial capital. But the renter, the mortgage payer, the debtor… pays each month...for the privilege of participating in the modern economy. He cannot rest. He cannot sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. The fields, the plants, the harvests...they all belong to someone else. His car, his house, his cellphone and streaming service, his healthcare, his childcare - all must be paid month by month.
He cannot ‘take a sabbatical’ or repurpose himself for a career change...he can’t simply ‘take off’ and wander aimlessly on the beach, listening to the mermaids singing each to each. He has no time for serious thinking...He has to pay the monthly fees! And if he stops paying, his whole world collapses. No house, no car, no credit cards...no internet...and probably no wife and children either. He is a prisoner of the funny money system. He owns nothing. He has no capital. He is a worker...a prole...a payer of interest... In debt, in hock, indentured for life...wandering dead, among the living."

"3I/ATLAS Just Collapsed the Magnetic Field Around Earth"
Michio Kaku, 12/2/25
"3I/ATLAS Just Collapsed
the Magnetic Field Around Earth"
"Earth’s magnetic field has never failed - not once in human history. It shields our planet from radiation, stabilizes our atmosphere, and quietly protects life every second of every day. But today… it stopped. For 73 seconds, Earth’s magnetosphere collapsed, and every monitoring station on the planet recorded the same impossible drop. This wasn’t a solar storm. Not a geomagnetic anomaly. Not an instrument failure. The collapse happened exactly after a high-energy pulse arrived from 3I/ATLAS. According to global observatories and NASA’s space-weather division:
• Magnetometer arrays flatlined simultaneously.
• Earth’s magnetic shield dipped below minimum survival levels.
• GPS satellites drifted out of position.
• Compass systems spun uncontrollably.
• Radiation briefly surged in the upper atmosphere.
• And when the field snapped back… it did so in the exact shape of the 3I/ATLAS pulse signature.
Scientists call this event: “The Magnetosphere Collapse.” In this cinematic investigation, Dr. Michio Kaku reveals: Why such a collapse should be impossible. How the magnetic field responded like it was forcibly suppressed. Why the pulse from 3I/ATLAS mirrors theoretical field-manipulation technology. What this means for satellites, navigation, and Earth’s safety. And NASA’s most chilling internal note: “It behaved like something switched off the shield.” Was this a test? A demonstration? A warning? Or proof that 3I/ATLAS can now influence Earth directly?"
o
A Summary Comment: So they've discovered a second 3I/ATLAS, named 3I/ATLASII, identical in every way, that entered the solar system on the exact same vector and speed, with unverified but strong indicators of 2 more identical objects incoming from further out. Additionally there are 9 escort objects in perfect formation alignment surrounding 3I/Atlas, which may be a scout ship for a larger fleet arriving in strength. Each of the escort objects generate 10 gigawatts of energy. The incoming enormous C/2025 R2 (SWAN) "mothership" is 100 times the size of 3I/ATLAS, and is generating 10,000 gigawatts of energy. (Earth's total global nuclear power capacity totaled 396 gigawatts, with 439 reactors operating across over 30 countries as of July 2024. An Earthly nuclear power plant generates 1 gigawatt at full power.) As the astronomer/physicist Avi Loeb states, if 3I/ATLAS is the "scout" ship SWAN is the "fortress" mothership to which 3I/ATLAS is sending reports. My guess is that it was the sudden massive energy signatures of using the atomic bombs in the 1940's that caught their attention. Their purpose unknown, all conjecture at this point, but data repeatedly verified. What does all this mean for Humanity, for you and me? If Humanity has a future... We shall see... We can't fight, and there's nowhere to escape to. - CP

Apparently our waiting is over...we are not alone.

"A Look to the Heavens"
“What will become of these galaxies? Spiral galaxies NGC 5426 and NGC 5427 are passing dangerously close to each other, but each is likely to survive this collision. Typically when galaxies collide, a large galaxy eats a much smaller galaxy. In this case, however, the two galaxies are quite similar, each being a sprawling spiral with expansive arms and a compact core. As the galaxies advance over the next tens of millions of years, their component stars are unlikely to collide, although new stars will form in the bunching of gas caused by gravitational tides.
Close inspection of the above image taken by the 8-meter Gemini-South Telescope in Chile shows a bridge of material momentarily connecting the two giants. Known collectively as Arp 271, the interacting pair spans about 130,000 light years and lies about 90 million light-years away toward the constellation of Virgo. Recent predictions hold that our Milky Way Galaxy will undergo a similar collision with the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy in a few billion years."

"There Are Simply No Answers..."
“How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one’s culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.”

"Luddites Were Right, You Know…"
"Luddites Were Right, You Know…"
By Chris Black
"The term “Luddite” originated in the early 19th century and refers to a movement of English textile workers who protested against the increased use of machines in their industry. The term “neo-Luddite” was later applied to those who similarly oppose technology for similar reasons, but in a contemporary context.
Everywhere you go, you see people with their faces in their phones. Constantly, constantly, constantly. At the bus stop. On the train. In the driver’s seats of their moving cars. Their kid makes a bit of noise at the restaurant table? Shove the iPad in their face.
Boomerisms aside, it really can’t be overstated how f**ked up this is, and not because “people don’t interact” anymore. It’s actually much worse than that… Nobody ever allows themselves even a moment of peace inside their own heads. The real insidiousness of the smartphone is that it encourages you to constantly consume content, endlessly, never ever stopping. It’s common for people to spend their entire day with earphones in, listening to podcasts and watching Tiktoks literally constantly.
Our brains did not evolve to be bombarded with constant microbursts of hyper real stimulation this way. Attention spans are getting measurably shorter. Reaction times are getting longer. None of this sh*t is good for your brain.
Everyone always says, “Well, what about TV and the radio?” Inherently limited and fundamentally different because of the fact that they’re pre-programmed and don’t act as “magic mirrors” of you and your personal inputs into them. Your smartphone is designed to learn everything about you so that it can be as addictive as possible and maximize the amount of data it squeezes out of you. Nothing about TV or the radio - or even Web 1.0 internet - ever came anywhere close to this.
Even so, we have known for decades that TV is horrible for your brain on account of many of the same mechanisms that affect attention span and cognitive development. So imagine how much worse the smartphone is. Unfathomably worse. We already know it’s worse, but we won’t know exactly how much worse it is until at least another decade, when the younger Zoomers and Gen Alphas are a few years into adulthood after an upbringing that revolved around Web 2.0.
Millennials were lucky enough not to take the full brunt of the experience. We got our first taste as we came of age instead of growing up being marinated in it. The saddest part is that the only reason any of this even caught on or is the least bit operable is because of the fact that it hijacks the mechanisms that make us feel satisfied and good. We didn’t evolve to handle this level of stimulation, but BOY do we respond to it. It’s so excessive that it’s impossible for some people to resist. So there are no f**king brakes.
You have to cast The Ring into the fire or it totally consumes you. That’s the reality for most people. And that, my friends, is just sick.
Look at your screen usage on your phone and tell me I’m wrong, how you totally don’t need it and can stop whenever you want. You are no better than a crack head, and you won’t realize that until you actually do try to stop for real. It’s unprecedented in human history to think this way. We are truly in uncharted waters here. Just wait until the sensory overload most people are bathing in all day, every day becomes fully automated instead of just partially automated like it is now."
