My "version" of being alive definitely ebbs and flows... and there seems to be very little pattern, rhyme or reason to why now.

Somebody is definitely lying. I have seen various government projections about jobs and the labor force, and they seem heavily biased by the idea that under no circumstances are economists going to confess

There was a study done in Germany that followed a pilot program of people receiving a small sum of UBI for a period of three years... too long to go in detail here, but have a link: Interestingly enough,

UBI is more likely to become a reality in places other than the USA, simply because our population here has such a profound mistrust of government and "organizations." We simply don't trust anyone

We are, for sure, on a collision course with something. The infrastructure to administer a kind of UBI is already in place, via electronic food stamps. Meaning that it's easy to control what people get

We have lots of wild nature to get away to here... but it still saddens me that we have to drive 30 minutes to find it. The top photo was taken at Joshua Tree National Park in the California high desert...

Indeed! I treasure the quiet moments whenever I can find them!

Interestingly enough, the quietest we experience around here is precisely when the power lines are taken out by downed trees during stormy weather. Whenever that happens, I am remindedof just how much

I appreciate you having a look!

Thank you! !HBIT

Seems to be true of the world, in general. People have very little patience with anything. They want to have the answers, but are not willing to apply the effort needed to actually get the answers. Sadly,

I know. My wife spends hours making 15-minute promotional videos for her and her girlfriend's self-development and meditation workshops.

"Collapsitarian." That's an awesome word! Thank you for that.

Fan of the show, and a follower of the club. Growing up in Denmark, and later in the UK and Spain, football is so woven into the cultural fabric over there. Wrexham is building quite a story, under their

It's a different sort of experience, isn't it? My dad was born in 1918, but his next older sister (who helped raise me) was born in 1904... the oldest of the five sibling was born in 1898, so I had a genuine

Thank you!

Well, you do have a point there... most of my peers, and even the next generation down, barely have any idea of what Web3 even is.

Wow, sounds like we have very similar family makeups. The "cycle" has sort of been broken, though... I was born in 1960 and our oldes grandshild turns 16 in October, making the

Thanks! Yes, there is beauty all around is, if we just take a moment to stop and SEE it.

Yeah, much of my frustration and skepticism comes from the way so many — on both sides of the aisle — are always ready to tear down things, but they offer little in the way of tangible solutions that can
