"To know how to dissemble..."

 so there is a YouTube presentation about what will happen to the environment if all the insects die...scary!

going to get some of the loose ends dispensed with here...Dr. Lex Fridman has a 10 and one half hour interview with a mr. Scott Horton who is an anti military/industrial complex investigator...he has a lot of information in his head and he sometimes rambles...but Dr. Fridman put up with him for a long time...also I watched a documentary about Wassily Kandinsky that pointed out that this artist always wore a suit and tie...even when painting...so I guess Dr. Fridmans permanent tie is acceptable...I see where mr Armani the fashion guru and multi millionaire has gone to the big walk-in closet in the sky...never had nothing from his line of uh...uh...sillyness really...fashion is a losing game..."Quantum Entanglement Explains why your thoughts create reality" (24 min) "Quantum Alchemist"...also Dr. Huberman has an interview with an expert who documents the health benefits of religious belief...I watched a movie online called "Save the president at any cost." it it very action packed but pretty far fetched...the assassin wears a shin length white coat...and stands out like a sore thumb as he kills dozens of people...I won't tell you how it ends...I also read a short story by Jorge Luis Borges the blind librarian from Argentina...this story is called "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" I think... "fantastic is too shallow an adjective" to describe this tale of a made up place which is being described in detail by a team of crazy people...also I came across a British television series called "Spooks" which is about trials and tribulations of the MI5 british intelligence...it has some violence and sadness...them spy folks have a lot of enemies...I met a nice girl whom I might begin to court...her name is Mabeline Raisenette...she is cute but kind of dumb...

 the need to have "situational awareness"is required if one is to avoid possible restricted stranding

another sunset...one becomes aware of the limited number of sunsets left to see as one ages

unidentified plant (possibly teasel) and the bottom plant is great Mullen recently identified...this pant has been use for hundreds of years and the seeds are used to stun fish (probably kills them)

as I watch a review of the hearing (interrogation) of RFK jr I can see what a lynch mob looks like...I heard a man say that he got three covid shots and still got covid twice....did he wear a protective mask when he was around possible infected people/animals? the vaccine does not make one "uninfectable" it makes one more resistant to death from infection...not a miracle drug...I see where Venezuela has sent fighter jets to warn off the US navy... would highly recommend a YouTube presentation called" "Iranian helicopter flies close to US navy destroyer-BIG MISTAKE1" (15 min) the amount of high tech equipment at the disposal of the military is amazing...I hope the $50 million dollar bounty on the head of the Venezuelan government is collected soon...he impoverished the most prosperous country in South America...he gotta go!...I see where several countries are supporting a "Palestinian state"...in other words condemning these poor folks to unrelenting abuse and torture forever...nope side by side living is out of the question...I think some problems need to be thought about a lot and a good mind bending presentation lends itself to much thinking...and maybe even a solution..."Hypothetical Zero Point Motion is Real" by Sabine Hossenfelder should make one think (maybe make one think they are insane) (6 min) Dr. Andrew Huberman has a good presentation "Effects of fasting and time restricted eating on fat loss and health" (38 min) he suggests not eating until one has been awake for at least an hour...I missed it again this morning...a good presentation about human history is "New evidence reveals who really invented the wheel. (8 min) "discovery future."..I think too many people make statements that seem to be definitive when they should qualify their observations with "THAT WE KNOW OF" (thanks Lindsay Nikole)...I would not go to the black rock desert with seven people and certainly not with 70 thousand...another burned man gathering over and done with...they will never get the trash out of the playa after this...but they will try...(this event use to be free) I made 38 years with no alcohol a couple of weeks ago...better, much better...I listen to Lucas Nelson a lot as he sounds much like his dad...even better now..."Angels flying too close to the ground" is a good example of his vocal and guitar skills...I spotted a 1958 nylon string Martin guitar in a shop last week...this could be his "Trigger" ($5000!)...I think Orion Taraban in his Psychack presentations has made too many sweeping statements and paints with a very broad brush...what does he mean by "commitment" and what constitutes "nasty and slutty" behavior by women?...I still listen to his presentations and I think the one about most people being delusional is good...and sadly accurate...one of the most amazing animal /human interactions I have ever seen is "Stacy Westfall championship bareback and brideless freestyle" with the horse Wizards Babydoll...absolutely stunning control...I like to watch Kiswa Mabel lumber mill as they get a lot of large trees to cut...there seems to be a blatant disregard for safety gear however...now I will have to express my dismay about the constant harassment which I have to endure at the hands of criminals employed by the government ...yesterday there was a fellow in the doctors office who was a rank amateur cop who came to "guard" the staff from my possible violence...these clowns follow me everywhere because I refuse to accept corruption of law enforcement...these unprofessional people should be fired from their jobs and never be allowed to work in government again...this beautiful town has been targeted by organized crime so many to the businesses now pay tribute to the mob...the attorney general of the state has a dozen or more lawsuits against the current federal administration when she should allocate many more resources to stop the organized crime which dominates this state....

"Pleasure itself..."

                                    this is how the sky looks much of the time for the last few days

after the dark sky is a large nail in an abandoned fence post....then there are a couple of out of focus yellow ants which do not seem to be as yellow as some other yellow ants i post a while back..these also seem to be much larger...then there is a small flower which is unidentified and lastly is what is probably a rib bone from an elk...long dead elk...

the news these days seems to be getting more and more bizarre...the commander in chief says he thinks that the chinese and the north koreans and the russians are "conspiring" against the USA...well...DUH! you think they would do such a thing?....in a heartbeat they would do it...and have done it and are doing it and will do it in the future...just like the USA would do it...is doing it and has done it...governments are that way...so as you may know when you look at something on youtube

they have the ability to try to match what you have looked at with something similar....i do not think this is really an invasion of my privacy as much as a service...a few days ago there was a presentation by "dom sub living" which is about "non-traditional" sexual relations...the woman who has this site listed the ten most popular "kinks"...ok nothing too strange about that except there have been no similar searches made by me...but it was pretty educational also so i have no complaints...then there was a so called documentary by a so called psychologist about a woman from england who is called ms. b. blue...her claim to fame is to have engaged in competition coitus....she says she had "intromission" with 1057 male persons in 12 hours...sooooo....i did the math and that comes to one "intromission" every 40 seconds....without stopping...they filmed this athletic event but due to some mis-understanding they claim they erased it or some such thing...i smell an "untruth" here....i have not seen this womans "body of work" but this woman says she has made millions of dollars as a sex worker....i have sold my body also...usually for minimum wage so i cannot help but believe that a person should charge as much as the market will bear when selling their body...i was unloading trucks, digging ditches, processing salmon...i can say with some confidence that your body wears out...believe it...and as for the morality of selling your body...i hate a pimp!....so more money is more better...and don't be surprised when the body breaks...there is a famous woman from about 2000 years ago named Messalina who was married to a famous man and she is alledged to have engaged in competition coitus...i think her husband had her killed...she was not very private about her sexual exploits....

"Take away ambition..."

 a swarm of hummingbirds come to enjoy the sugar water...now they are chubby birds ready to fly south

as i sit here next to the pile of mail forwarded to me I realize that the medical and insurance industries rely on the confusion of their customers (victims) to enrich themselves...

I don't mean to be braggadocios but I bought new shoes yesterday (sperry camo!) $3.50!

I would like to make a comment about Eros and Thanatos...sex and death...some years ago I was told by someone that ms. t. swift was very ambitious....I remember watching a documentary about Pink Floyd which shows,   I think it was mr gilmour saying they wanted to be the biggest and richest band in the world...pretty ambitious...but they had the chops to get there....so ms. t. swift has now decided to wed...and in her calculating way has chosen a person who is a professional healthy person...a hunk...which should keep a smile on her face for years to come...a very good choice...I heard that the suicide laws in canada which allow for medically approved self extermination has resulted in suicide being a large proportion of the deaths...great news...so now we need many more businesses to help compost the dead peoples bodies...as for the 16 year old male person who killed himself supposedly at the urging of a computer program I think first of all there is some blame but Sam Altman is not to be blamed for the neglect of the parents...I watched lex fridmans fourth interview  with Elon musk and they asked the computer program called GROK some questions and I was amazed at the "humanly" responses...I can see where if an impressionable person decides to embrace a computer program as a "confidant" there might be some reality issues...there are so many good intelligent discussions on mental health and all aspects of health on YouTube if these are watched and given more influence than a very flawed computer program a person would be better served...an excellent mental health presentation is "The most important lesson from 83,000 brain scans." (14 min) by Daniel Amen ...a lot of information has been obtained about abnormal human behavior due to brain disfunction...and "New medical innovation that could change everything" BBC (26 min) "the engineers"..."What tattoos do to the skin" (16 min) Institute of Human anatomy is a scientific view of modern tattoos on human skin...quite thorough...I heard about a K-Pop presentation called "Demon Hunters" which has become popular with a very young crowd...I went online to see what this is about...one of the people interviewed said they want to have a lot of merchandise and sequels and maybe a theme park or two....what I saw was absolutely disgusting, and seemed to be scary to a fault...this K-Pop needs to be popped!...I think today is the 20th anniversary of hurricane Katrina flooding New Orleans...I was on the Oregon coast when this was happening...I shed a tear but enjoyed the Oregon coast...storm on Jupiter...but I was not on Jupiter...also "How testosterone and culture shape behavior" by Carole K. Hoovens (15min) sheds a lot of light on what Robert Sapolsky calles the most mis-understood molecule in human history...he also has a very good segment on testosterone...now as I watch a C-Span call in show they had a caller talk about the crime in the state of Mississippi...which is also one of, if not the poorest state in the USA...may there be a correlation here?...I hope there is less murders in Chicago if the current heresiarch sends in federal troops...I also hope the wealth is more evenly distributed among the citizens...

To follow imperfect..."

 

top image is a young short-horned lizard (Phrynosoma douglassii) i do not know which sub-species this is...i found it while walking near the truck

the next image is of a spider species which occurs on the thistle flowers...these spider quickly move to the other side of the blossom when they detect a person...obviously these spiders are not preyed on for food by humans so they must be avoiding insectivores like the numerous humming birds...the webs on the thistle bristles must be from these spiders....the next image is of a bee with red pollen on it's legs the next image is of a bee with yellow pollen on it's legs...why is that?

big news happening...uh...uh...just about everywhere i guess...big storm on jupiter....but i am not on jupiter...watched some very good youtube...lex fridman #477 "Keyu Jin:Chinas Economy"...this interview brings much clarity to the conditions that drive the economic and social situation today in china....one of the most informative interviews i have watched is Andrew Hubermans interview with Dr. Sergiu Pasca on "Developmental Neuro-Biology" (2hrs 23min) well worth the time...these brilliant scientists are growing various brain cells in test tubes with remarkable results...organoids and assembloids...dr Pasca emphasizes the need for a nomenclature for these new scientific discoveries ....a very good documentary about Amedeo Modigliani the artist called "Love, loss and art; the wild life of a tragic genius" this close to the edge fellow was addicted to hashish and booze and apparently could not escape himself and he died young...but some spectacular art was created...

two images from "Seeing the Insane" sander Gilman (1982) female="the masturbator in a state of physical collapse" from Rozier 1830 (more female sexual condemnation) male image="monomania with delusions of military grandeur" gericault

this image is from "the yoga system of health and relief from tension" by yogi vithaldas...I used this book to instruct me when I was 19 years old and this is one os the most useful poses I found for keeping the spine limber....I highly recommend yoga exercises as a beginning to bodily awareness...combined with meditation and good diet the result is unsurpassed for spiritual advancement...and one feels energetic all day....

so I just watched v. Putin and d. trump on c-span holding a brief news conference  which is a much better image than relentless images destruction and death...I have neglected to mention a couple of regular YouTube presentations by "Little Chinese Everywhere" the last two...one in the desert and one with sweet melons...(I have not viewed the one posted today)...I hope the department of agriculture is taking note of all the great fruit and vegetables that are being seen in china...bring some of those seeds here...also "Philosophize this" has a good review of  with"A philosophy of self-destruction"(#233) the quality of these intellectual interpretations remains high...Lindsay Nikole did an excellent review of hammerhead sharks and stalk eyed insects...and the latest presentation illustrates why you have to be tough to get all those tattoos!...

"History Is neither..."

just because it is on the cutting board don't mean I got to eat it!

well, it is a historic day...hopefully the USA will not offer any of Alaska to ruskies...these folks are like texans on steroids...very protective of their rights and property...I like to keep things in perspective so I remember that there is a huge storm on Jupiter...but I am not on Jupiter...I could not help but notice that my writing about a_girl seems to have illicited a response from the anonymous floaters who like to make comments within ear-shot...they said that this woman is under investigation...the exact infraction however is somewhat vague...perhaps "illicit ardor " is the charge....well I have  been under investigation for at least 35 years...which is longer than this woman has been alive I think...mustn't let detractors alter ones views to accommodate others...however! ones freedom of thought must always be weighed against the real possibility of incarceration..also to keep things in perspective a good YouTube presentation is "What happens while we hurtle around the sun at 64,000 mile per hour"(48in) I am not sure why j. epstein should get more than his 15 minutes of fame...what a bore...I picked up an interesting movie a while back called "Brother  Orchid" (1940) with Edward g. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart ....it is about a mobster who has a life changing experience....also I saw that Xenophanes (570-475 BCE) renounced the adulation of athletes against the current religions views...he is considered to be the founder of epistemology (the theory of knowing and learning)...I am amazed at how much times spent on so called "sporting events"...I propose that a new team name be adopted by a major "sport franchise" the "SUCKER BETS" which will be owned by a company from 633 stag trail road, north caldwell New Jersey...I don't mean to be braggadocios but I have had my mug of fresh coffee (thanks again for the marvelous microwave) and croissants this morning (actually the croissants were on the markdown rack) but as I listen to WWOZ radio from newoilyens I realize that a person can be very much in touch with the rest of the world in todays modern society...as long as they can access the electronic signals from afar...the restrictions on internet access has begun with children...I understand that the state of Mississippi has now required parental approval for persons under the age of 18 to get online..."mission creep"...I have noticed recently that there is an increasing amount of balderdash and crap which appears on YouTube and if a person is not using some discretion they can waste a lot of time down those "rabbit holes."  because I have become quite enthralled with the London musical ensemble "Kitty, Daisy and Lewis" I watched a documentary about them from several years go...in this well done presentation lewis is 19 years old and daisy is 20 years old and kitty is 15 years old....lewis has a living room full of vintage recording equipment as well as a vinyl cutting machine so he can make his own records...also the parents are presented as vital members of the group...these folks really love "Americana" music...I don't think they play USA much if at all...a humorous music presentation is "Coffee and a Joint" from sugar shack sessions...I can remember vividly my mornings on Whittaker creek in just such a position...standing on the log across the creek as the creek flowed past and the first toke...heaven on earth!....then the addiction process unraveled my already tenuous relationship with reality and I realized that my mind was flowing downstream also...live and learn...I learned about the "Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 MMPI-2...which is used to evaluate persons "potential" for different behaviors...I think I might have contracted "borderline personality" from living so close to the border...(on the edge actually)...well I have gotten some of the "scribble habit" out of my system so off I go to make the hard decision about whether I will brave the stormy weather or stay inside...."History is neither more nor less than biography on a large scale."
