"I wish men to be free..."


 I have baked corn muffins, onions, potatoes, apples, peaches, fish, beans and eggs in my solar cooker

a fat happy cow munching mucho grass in the silva grazing area...more water is needed however...

I see on the BBC news channel this morning that some people are expecting the death and destruction in Gaza and nearby places to slow up...to quote Waylon Jennings..."I'll believe it when I see it and I haven't seen it yet..."according to General Russell Honore' (Retired) the USA gives 11.5 million dollars a day to Israel...shame shame shame!...AND! in the last two years the USA has given Israel $21.7 billion bucks....shame shame shame...If Trump is "Putins Putty"...he has been "Netanyahu"s Ninny"...I would like to see a more scientific approach to keeping the peace...there are some excellent Youtube presentations pertaining to relationships...I have taken to putting my phone in the top pocket of my vest to listen to the YouTube presentations while I walk around doing photography in the morning and also while I am cooking breakfast etc ...in keeping up with the current state of affairs in the ever interesting (DULL, DULL ,DULL!)...such riveting stories about such buttheads as mr. Diddy Combs..."here is Diddy thinks with his testicles and  all his sex is spectacles"...more money than brains...some helpful presentations might be "Freud, Hollywood and the Male Gaze" (The British Academy) 15minutes..."How to understand emotions' Dr. Lisa Barret (2hours and 20 minutes) Huberman #129..."How to find build and maintain healthy romantic relationships" Dr. Esther Perel...Dr. A Huberman...this is an excellent presentation and covers a lot of subject matter with Dr. Huberman contributing his extensive research experience...in the evenings I watch a lot of music videos and BOPFLIX has a lot of musical offerings of a certain genre...

 top image = probably 2 species of caterpillar...next image is metal lid from a container of axel grease...from back when there were wagons crossing this area...the next image is of 4 small obsidian flaked tools all of which have a similar small half circle flaked spot which I think was used to scrape sinew clean for use...just conjecture on my part...

I have been able to listen to a lot of YouTube presentations over the last month or so, and I am amazed at how didactic these scholarly offerings are...I do however take umbrage at some of the comments I have heard about "social media"...it is buffet and it ain't all healthy...so choose well and nourish your mind...or not...there is a fellow who goes by the moniker "internet anarchist' who has said about Lex Fridman..."he rarely adds anything meaningful to the conversations and even when he does it's rarely anything interesting..."....this is the opposite of my impression of Dr. Fridmans many presentations...and he probably also has the best screen in screen additions...he is a master of making things clear for his viewers...he had an interview (# 482) with a mr Pavel Durov who founded "TELEGRAM" which is a messaging application I think...it is known for being able to transmit information without being hacked by others than the intended  recipient...supposedly....mr. Durov spent some jail time in France while the French authorities tried to convince him to turn over his "keys" to the kingdom as it were...he allegedly resisted...this interview which is 4 hours and 34 minutes long is interesting in that mr. Durov  explains his history as an academic in Russia as a teenager and his decision to create this popular application which has brought him some wealth and fame...his image online without upper body clothing illustrates the result of his intense exercise regime...and also may account for his attractiveness to women and his 106 offspring...some of which were as a sperm doner...Dr. Fridman seems to be enthusiastic about folks who are disciplined in their exercise routines...however, since I also exercised daily at my labor jobs I cannot but wonder if some of these folks might not be more "useful" while expending energy... as Capt. Elon Musk often says "BE USEFUL"...towards the end of this interview Durov says with some enthusiasm that he is a fan of "Snoop Dogg" and mr. Dogg has a telegram account with which he managed to sell a lot of snoop dog gifts otherwise known as useless plastic crap...in his latest "musical?" offering mr Dogg  seems to be suffering from the effects of a lifelong pot addiction...amazingly Mr. Durov does not use drugs or alcohol or even coffee...so what his attraction is to the the pimp and pothead mr dogg I cannot imagine....however, one of the things that mr Durov holds sacred is "anonymous communication"...that is to say no restrictions on communication...this is the opposite of what Ralph Nader advocates,,,who says no anonymous communication on the internet is best...something between these two views might be best..."Communication= from the latin "communicatio"= making common...a fundamental concept in the study of behavior, whether by humans, animals, or machines that acts as a frame of reference for the concept of language. Communication refers to the transmission of information (a message) between a source and a receiver, using a signaling system.""Communicative Shift"= speech developed 50 to 60 thousand years ago... Script developed 5500 years ago...Print developed 500 years ago and now artificial intelligence which is less than a decade old and which appears to be poised to dominate human communication...a phase shift in what humans can expect to encounter...
