Millionaires and billionaires ..... our modern day logic is to think and believe that someone who owns or has access to enormous sums of money automatically gives them the title of "genius".

I suppose humanity has always been like that.

We called them Kings, Queens, Lords, Emperors in the past ...... we changed the titles but the blind praise is still the same.

How about acknowledging the fact that in the US, the average police officer spend over three quarters of their time training to use a firearm.

It's no different here in Canada. All they want is soldier, give them enough training so that they'll blindly follow orders, get them to defend the wealthy and control the poor, keep workers subservient and protect property. Give them a gun and a license to kill and encourage a culture of beating people, using violence or shooting people first and then asking questions later.

There's no mystery or revelation here. Everyone who has ever lived on the skids or has skin color other than white has always known this.

I wondered what this was about and read about John Brown and the slave rebellion at Harpers Ferry in 1859.

I had just watched a bit of history on this raid a few months ago on a Youtube Channel called 'Canadiana' ... a group that offers historical features on Canadian history.

There was one survivor of this raid and he fled to Canada in southern Ontario where he lived and worked for most of his life.

It's the subtle difference between a JUSTICE system and a LEGAL system.

One aims to maintain law and order in society in a fair and equal way regardless of one's status or situation.

The other is a system gamed to benefit the richest and wealthiest individuals to get away with everything.

Simple and to the point, everyone should know and follow this. One of the best pieces of advice from the Dalai Lama

"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them."

It's all based on geography.

If the school is located in a mineral rich area or underground oil field, then that wasn't a school, it was a military base and those weren't students they were terrorists.

If the school is located in aa area that lacks any natural wealth, then the robots have become autonomous and acted without control by anyone. It was an accident.

This reminded me of a similar thing from my childhood. I grew up in a very traditional Indigenous family. My parents were born in the wilderness so I grew up doing a lot of very traditional things like hunting, trapping and fishing. One of my earliest farthest memories is being out on the ice gill net fishing with my parents. I must have been about seven eight years old. You have to set out an area on a river and then chip out a series of holes to literally 'sew' a net under the ice attached to a long pole guiding the pole past the holes you made. I can remember looking at those holes in the ice and wondering ... if I fall in, I won't be able to get back through the hole ... I would end up stuck under the ice until I died. The holes were small ... but I was small too and I knew I could easily fit through the hole ... it was a weird fascination between I don't want to drown in an ice hole ... and I wonder what it's like under the ice hole. It completely freaked me out and became an embedded permanent memory for me forever after.

It's weird thinking about dangerous things when you're a kid ... you know the danger, you know it might even be deadly but you're curious to find out what it would mean or what it would feel like ... it's amazing any of us survive through childhood.

I think my older brothers and sisters sat me down next to them to watch this .... I vaguely remember it ... but I think it scared me so badly that I block it out of my childhood memory and refuse to remember it

I should go watch it again for the first time.

Never Cry Wolf

My parents loved that film because they identified with it a lot .... I know, I know ... there are a lot of criticisms around Farley Mowat and what he may or may not have known or embellished about the writing he created. I loved Farley because he was a complete nut .... but my kind of lovable weird intelligent nut. In the movie, the images and ideas of living out in the wilderness was a lot of fun to watch ... and yes that scene under the ice was terrifying for me as a kid.

Thanks for awakening long forgotten fears and anxieties ... may you drown in your bathtub ... and me in my river.

This is what I'm loving about DS9 ...... good people don't always win, just like in real life. It's the same logic from the famous Picard quote:

“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.”

Watching the stories in DS9 unfold knowing that good things won't always happen makes the whole series so grounded and relatable.

I'm on season three now and thoroughly enjoying it all.

Judging by the amount of fascism around and the fact that Nazism still exists and is still celebrated in some circles ..... did World War Two end?

we just operation paperclipped the nazis elsewhere into society

When you look at the post war history and the fact that the Allies defeated the Nazis with the Communist Soviets ... after the war, it was far easier to be a Nazi than it was to be a Communist. I'm in Canada and you can't believe the number of Nazi loving or Nazi associated war veterans that made their way here and the US after the war.

This is one of the theories that explain why we don't hear anyone else in our galactic neighborhood.

Civilizations just develop highly sophisticated digital worlds that they can just live in in complete bliss forever or until their system degrades and falls apart in millions of years.

We could be surrounded light years in every direction by perverts having infinite fun with tentacle hentai porn in their perfect digital world and they will never know or want to know that we even exist.

Either these companies will die out because they won't accept tentacle hentai or new companies will take their place to offer tentacle hentai .... whatever happens, we will get our tentacle hentai and never explore the universe.

Driving in North America

I once took a trip to the UK and was brave enough (or dumb enough) to rent a car in London and drive around the country side. I drove down small town streets the wrong way several times and I nearly killed myself trying to navigate a roundabout twice.

As a passenger it was frightening. You sit there in what has always been the drivers seat to you yet you have no control over the vehicle.

It all completely screws with you brain.

We got to see Stonehenge tho, so that was great.

It's completely unrealistic when I first saw it. Great fantasy but so impossible it's more like a piece of pulp fiction on film.

Any woman that beautiful in a post apocalyptic world would never exist. They would be raped, enslaved, bought and sold like a prize within months of the world breaking down.

Whenever I see or read scenarios like this I'm constantly reminded by a quote by Kurt Vonnegut, a veteran of the second world war who wrote some great books about war including 'Slaughter House Five' ..... he said ... "In war there are only two types of women, those that have been raped and those that will be raped"

When the world breaks down and there is no law and order any more, the women are usually the first to suffer.

This is why I thought this film was unrealistic with such a beautiful model actor as the lead.

If your electoral system is so complicated and convoluted to the point where elections representing 300 million people are decided by only 6% of the population who will more than likely be influenced by those with 99% of the wealth ..... why bother referring to it as a democracy?

ininewcrow , 14 days ago

6% of six states. Because of the Electoral College, any majority wins all of a states votes (for most states), regardless of 51% or 75%.

.... and America is supposed to represent the standard for the rest of the world's democracies?

In that system, people have absolutely no power other than to feel good about themselves while having a confused look on their face.
