I was born and then things went downhill from there. I talk about different things to avoid becoming boring. I'm an old guy who loves new stuff. Science & technology intrigue me. I enjoy strategy games and it shapes how I view problems.

Primitive meatbot repeats $PopularThing for Likes. It does this because it has been programmed to value Likes by an algorithm.

When you're young and you get an ailment, it's "I hope this goes away soon."

When you're old and you get an ailment, it's "This is just how I live now."

"The Diamond Age" predicted something similar. Post-nanotechnology, hand made items became an expensive novelty for rich collectors.

Far too many people have fooled themselves into thinking that a magical document called "The Epstein Files" will somehow Thanos-snap away the entire fascist movement in America.

2) Be glad Patel can't figure out Photoshop.

3) Ain't nothin' gon happen.
