Keeping it legal to sell ever-more-powerful #slaughterbots globally is such a dumb idea that most nations are discussing a treaty in Vienna today. I love Jaan Tallinn's opening speech: #AWS2024Vienna
Conventional medicine tells you
"there is no known cause"... they tell you "there isn't anything you can DO"... "it's just your genetics"... but they are wrong.
This takes the power away from YOU and gives it to them and to the meds they prescribe to MANAGE SYMPTOMS.
Instead of using an alarm to wake up, I put my chicken lamp incandescent on an analog outlet timer that costs like $5 and it effectively serves as a sunlight alarm in the morning. It has not failed to wake me for 6 months now. I wake up so calmly.
Nikola Tesla's prediction of a smartphone, Collier’s magazine interview, 1926:
"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket."
Doctors at a hospital in Texas informed George Pickering that his son was in a state of brain death. They explained that his son showed "no brain activity" and the decision had been made to remove life support.
Pickering, however, was unconvinced by their assessment and resorted to extreme measures by drawing a firearm. He demanded that the doctors continue their efforts to save his son's life, threatening to use the gun if they refused.
This situation escalated into a tense standoff lasting three hours, during which Pickering faced off against the police while the medical team performed additional tests on his son.
The hospital was secured under lockdown as police negotiators tried to reason with Pickering, who remained adamant. In a pivotal moment, Pickering's son, previously declared braindead, responded to his father's request to squeeze his hand, indicating cognitive presence. Following this revelation, Pickering peacefully surrendered to the authorities.
George Pickering II subsequently served a prison sentence of 11 months. Remarkably, his son experienced a complete recovery.
From the 1950s to 2015, world plastic production grew more than 200x.
Annual volume jumped from 1.5 million tons to over 7.8 billion tons — that’s over 1 ton per human being alive on the planet today, with 59% of this total coming from consumer products and packaging.
