"There comes a time in a man's life when the noise of the world fades, when the voices of friends grow silent, when the warmth of lovers departs, and all that remains is the solitary figure of a man with his own breath and his own heartbeat. At first, this silence seems unbearable. We have been taught to measure our worth by the company we keep, by the hands that hold us, by the recognition reflected in other people's eyes.

And when all of that disappears, the mind cries out in fear, I am alone. But what if this aloneness is not a curse? What if it is the doorway to the only companionship that can never abandon you? For the man who finds himself without friends, without lovers, standing in the quiet of his own existence, he may discover something extraordinary. He may discover God, not as a distant figure in the heavens, not as a doctrine, not as an authority, but as the living pulse of his very being. "

Ahriman -
I asked an AI to generate a human face from Rudolph Steiner's sculpture of Ahriman - looks familiar? Member of the WEF - maybe/maybe not.

Earbuds:

Weird thought I had last night.
" - there have been multiple reported cases of earbud (or wireless earphone) batteries overheating, sometimes leading to fires, burns, or recalls.

These incidents are typically linked to lithium-ion batteries, which are common in wireless earbuds. Problems can arise from manufacturing defects (e.g., thin separators causing internal short circuits), faulty charging cables/cases, overcharging, damage, or exposure to heat. Thermal runaway—a chain reaction where the battery overheats rapidly—can result in swelling, fire, or explosion risks.

Other reports mention general risks with low-cost earbuds, battery defects revealed in CT scans, and isolated user incidents (e.g., swelling or rare explosions causing injury).

Lithium-ion batteries in earbuds share the same chemistry as those in phones and laptops, so similar failure modes apply (though earbuds are smaller, risks are generally lower but not zero). Recalls are issued by bodies like the U.S. CPSC when patterns emerge.

Prevention Tips
- Use the manufacturer’s charger and avoid cheap third-party ones.
- Don’t charge in extreme heat/cold or leave unattended for long periods.
- Stop using if you notice swelling, unusual heat, or damage.
- Follow disposal guidelines for lithium-ion batteries (they’re hazardous waste).

These events are relatively rare compared to the millions of earbuds in use, but they highlight why reputable brands and proper care matter. If you have a specific model in mind, I can help check for recalls."

Energy:

EROI=Energy Required to Deliver It

Wind, Solar and Tar Sands are losers - humans would stagnate - no buffer for emergencies/disasters (I add wind because it is not available 24/7). Our current society was built on the back of cheap oil. Nuclear seems a good bet, hydroelectric and wind next, all could benefit from technological innovation and investment $$.

Why It Matters
Societal threshold: Most analysts believe a modern industrial society needs an average EROI of at least 7:1 to maintain current living standards (transportation, healthcare, food systems, etc.)

Renewable transition: Comparing EROI helps evaluate whether alternative energy sources can actually replace fossil fuels at sufficient scale

A ratio below 1:1 means you're losing energy — the process consumes more than it produces.

| Energy Source | Typical EROI |
|--------------- |-------------|
| Oil (early 20th century) | ~100:1 |
| Oil (today) | ~15-20:1 |
| Coal | ~30-80:1 |
| Natural gas | ~20-40:1 |
| Nuclear | ~15-20:1 |
| Hydroelectric | ~30-100:1 |
| Wind | ~15-25:1 |
| Solar PV | ~5-15:1 |
| Corn ethanol | ~1-2:1 |
| Tar sands | ~3-5:1 |

@namcios Used to buy stereo components, Amp, Tape Deck, equalizer etc. component broke you replaced/fixed just that one component.

AI - Consciousness ;

Would AI have any sense of space/time? The Maya that all humans find themselves in. Perhaps that would be one requirement/test for "Consciousness" ?

[Phillip Dolin @PDolin9829]

@TheProjectUnity Strangely several prominent mystics believed there were people among us with souls and warned against associating with them.

@conspiracyb0t Not failed - just morphing into a new form - they created chaos - their motto - order out of chaos.

[Phillip Dolin @PDolin9829]

@Kdyub33 @ProudSocialist Yeah I know - they tried that with cars. In factories they really don't need the humanoid style - they could even use a tethered power source. Maybe a mini nuclear/zero point power source will magically appear. Nuff said.

[Phillip Dolin @PDolin9829]

@Kdyub33 @ProudSocialist They keep promising that - for years? But I am sure there is a limit due to size and maybe cost.

[Phillip Dolin @PDolin9829]

What happens if down the line AI decides rather than creating resource intensive robots it is cheaper to grow organic units in vitro (humans) removing some ethical issues, low IQ, restricted diet, cheap, minimal resource requirements - with chip implants in their brains - AI is not a human, doesn't think like a human with a soul and maybe some morals.

@LightOnLiberty Large solar flare that will accompany/precede the magnetic reversal and 90 degree crustal shift.

@The_RomaArmy Why open up - its treated like a joke, they say you deserved it, they use it against you later, they say man up, so you do, no one cares. You bear it until it is unbearable then you exit.

@catholicbob As long as they are willing to pay $30 (whatever) that price will not go down. As far as I can remember my parents never went out to dinner, only time my wife and I ate out is when we were on the road, I've carried my lunch or just skipped it.

@BrianRoemmele When I bought my first car it was 23 cents a gallon. (1971/72?)

[Phillip Dolin @PDolin9829]

But they engineer it to be unrepairable - you used to be able to replace batteries in phones and most electronics, I used to do 90 % of the maintenance on my car in my drive way - all about $$ and now going to a subscription model were you won't even own it. I have a laptop that is over 10 years old and I just loaded Linux on it and it works fine the battery even charged after 5 years in a drawer - makes me wonder about new battery technology.

@Reptoid_Hunter If they can profile all of humanity they can make minimal changes to get their desired results and monitor in real time?

@Riffentime @skumWgmi Yes I am a Boomer and proud of it - retired at 48 and haven't had to work a day since - good luck.
