"I pass death..."


 the color wheel shows the different colors and their closeness to each other



everything leaves behind some evidence of their having passed by

i read about a guy who stabbed a fellow student in the the chest and killed him...he was tried in a court of law and found guilty of murder...he was on the "black spectrum"...i did not hear what his sentence was...he has been unlucky enough to have been included in the current "anti-black" sentiment...i read a very good article in "Natural History" magazine (july/august 2025) "food for thought"...this article says "What then are the cognitive abilities that allow humans to come together to form large cooperative social groups? There are many, but a few are notable. Impulse control is key to future oriented behavior that is the cornerstone of sharing." the scientific research indicates that humans use 20% of their energy in the brain...for children age 5 and under it is 66% of their energy which is used by the brain...when i hear that some folks want to stop providing nutrition assistance for school kids i think it might be a good investment to feed the kids daily...

housing seems to be in the news daily because so many people struggle to find affordable housing...Thoreau said he thought sleeping in a coffin-like tool box would be a good idea...Tee-Pees he liked also...i have worked on construction sites where "MC-Mansions " were being built (large houses with the pretense of opulence)...well i suppose a person has a lot of psychological baggage to deal with when they choose a place to live... 

i came across a few good sites on youtube one of which is @Taboo Education" lets talk death" this aussie woman has some largely ignored subjects "Why you need to stop saying "committed suicide" (5 min)...i think she is a mortician

@hysteria podcast seems to be "unbalanced professional haters" these girls certainly have no love at all for J. Kusher...they may even be prejudiced!

also there is a very upbeat interview with one of the inventors of Virtual Reality namely Jaron Lanier "Father of VR the best AI future nobdy is talking about @Hope Existential (51 min)

i came across a movie which is one of the funniest i have ever seen...before you view this movie i must warn that if you suffer from COULROPHOBIA this movie may trigger you...it is apparently an Irish made movie,,,"APOCALYPSE CLOWN (1hour and 38 min) i have watched it several times as the dialogue is quick...one of the main characters is Jennie Malone of Viral Load Media...she is one of the only none clowns although she is a confirmed "clown fucker". this movie is well worth the time..."Funzo" deserves an academy award...

on  more serious note...the film-maker Raphael Treza has put together "Bengal Danger" about his time in india...(53 min) what beautiful women!

"I pass death with the dying and birth with the new-washed babe...and am not contained between my hat and boots./ And peruse manifold objects, no two alike, and every one good./ The earth good, and the stars good and their adjuncts all good "...Walt Whitman from the 1855 edition of "Leaves of Grass"

"I can't emphasize this enough,..."

the cattle ranchers brought back several head of bovines recently...
when i listen to the peach springs radio station (KWLP-100.9 ) which is run by the Hualapi tribal authorities they sometimes talk about the importance of keeping all the gates closed so as not to let the cows and i suppose horses too wander away and possibly into the roadways...recently there were i think 30 black-footed ferrets released nearby...all of them disappeared...lots of birds of prey, coyotes etc etc etc that would love to invite a chubby black-footed ferret to diner. there is also much discussion about whether the mexican grey wolf population needs to be added to...without new genes in the population the inbreeding co-efficient is going to be not very good...i recently purchased some cow meat which I enjoyed eating very much...i finally realized that a small tender tasty steak is much better than a large steak fit only for the ravens because they are too tough to chew and digest...anyhow i also figure the chocolate and honey in small doses is helpful...and the salads are essential as well as the fruit...i think it is important for a persons mental well being that they cook for themselves every day...speaking of which although i may have no right to say it...i think ms ha thi muon who has many youtube presentations is being exploited...i have done a fair amount of back-packing in the mountains and i am appalled at the poor equipment this woman uses in her frequent treks around the mountains to wild-harvest...first of all those "Dulac cowboy boots" she wears are right at being worthless...a good pair of Merrils or Vasque with good ankle support would much better serve the purpose...and real dog packs would make the dogs lives much better and that woven basket she carries around is a poor substitute for a modern pack with good waist strap to keep the weight off her back...one of her presentations which has a title with "smiles" in it shows this poor unfortunate woman walking up the inclined road which a look of sheer exhaustion...i know the look well...anyhow, she might consider having 5 goats and one dog instead of the other way around...the goats can carry more weight, have better footing on the rocks and can eat vegetation instead of meat...anyhow i cannot enjoy watching this woman and her dogs working to exhaustion due to poor equipment...much of the better equipment is actually made in Vietnam...and she should not gather "rare frogs"!...

an extremely informative youtube presentation is "10 Christian denominations Explained" (32min) @Professor Archive...i did not realize how many members some of these denominations have...and their influence

a good musical presentation is "Rust in the Red, White and Blue" (5min) by Varton? Outlaw Acoustic...somewhat opinionated

it seems to me  that i am encountering more folks who have strong opinions and little regards for other folks view...i listen to a guy who almost daily lists everything that Elon Musk has written on his twitter account...i think i can hear a bit of an echo...yes, yes i can hear an echo! i don't think the validity of a persons opinion should be based on their financial worth...more light...less heat...

"I can't emphasize this enough, a rigorous adherence to truth is the most important thing for AI safety, and empathy for humanity and life as we know it." Elon Musk said in "Digital super-intelligence (50 min) @ Y combinator
