I may use "bad" language. It's not the words fault, they're not bad. I try to be funny....I write crap poetry....I rant occasionally.... I share stuff I've found interesting... Yes, I fully realize I'm spewing pseudo intellectual crap...

In 1543, Copernicus posited the Heliocentric Theory, which placed the Sun at the center of the universe. It caused outrage amongst the religious & ignorant.
⏩️ to now where human-induced Global Warming (and the related Holocene Extinction Event) is rejected by many who would've also hated Copernicus.

Farmers Embracing Smart Agriculture
YouTube video by Classroom Europe Farmers Embracing Smart Agriculture

Nearly 8% of the people on our planet are farmers who produce more than a third of the world’s food on small plots of land...just an acre or two each. These farmers want to work, produce, feed their families, sell what’s left, and stay on their farms (cont.)

He's small and not quite quick enough.
He gets bumped off the puck too easily.
I wish he was just half a step quicker.
I've cheered for him, but sometimes they just don't have it.

30% want to build
30% want to smash
40% want bread and circuses
Has there been an Democratic empire, back to Athens, that has not had some form of slavery at the core?
The 40% is the key
If this clumsy brutality awakens them to their servitude they may discover the joys of the Guillotine...

β€œTerrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Nice when you find a mind much greater than your own has expressed your thoughts.
This is an ancient idea, probably because, if you cut away the self serving pollution from organized Religion, there is this inexpressible core that anyone who stares at the stars knows.

In the early days, the Internet looked like it could turn into a Tower of Babylon.
Brick by brick we could build a place where the world could communicate and try to understand each other.
Then it was discovered you could make more money by fragmenting, making everyone afraid and anxious.
