i have seen the "what elon musk said today on X" from yesterday i think...the launch of the space x rocket was aborted at the last seconds...live and learn...one of the major topics...THE major topic! on this site is about artificial intelligence...and the future value of said technology...i came across a small book called "the hidden lives and strange origins of common and not so common words" by Anu Garg...the word GROK is defined as "to understand something thoroughly and intuitively"...and NO! i do not want to subsidize his sisters $10 pickle!...i was listening to a C-SPAN program this morning and there was a caller...an elderly fellow who was in a panic about data centers being built which caused the cattle to have no babies and the birds to quit singing and other devilish things...the single most disturbing thing i am seeing in all of the evaluations of the world and society and everything under the sun is the extent to which people lump everyone together...there are 8 billion people on earth...give or take...and folks have the habit of saying humanity this and humanity that and humanity the other thing...this is especially obvious in political commentary...liberals this and conservatives that and women this and men that and it never ends...humans and human experiences are varied and complex...AND humans have the capacity to change their minds...which brings me to the youtube presentaion "10 ancient drug epidemics which erased entire civilizations"@ health with Henry (50 min) this title is misleading as there were no civilizations which were erased...the last part is especially interesting as it deals with the idea that alcohol consumption drove humans to settle in one spot to brew beer thousands of years before there was agriculture for food consumption...you make up your own mind about whether humanity is driven by the need to get a buzz...also i found a great interview @steveioe... "ER nurse shares her wildest stories"(37 min)...this woman is an emergency room nurse in a hospital on the Mississippi gulf coast...she is young and strong...and recounts how many dumb ass moves people can make to endanger their own lives...it makes me cynical about how much energy is put into saving people who perhaps should not be saved...on "soft white underbelly" there is an interview with a prison psych doctor who obviously has PTSD and she recounts how much time and expense is given to stopping a prisoner who wants to cut off his penis...there are people who can and will reform their behaviors and these should be afforded the opportunity to do so...the rest are using valuable resources which could be better utilized elsewhere...humanity needs to understand the meaning of triage...testosterone is in the news recently...i can speak with some authority on this subject...having had much testosterone and then having little testosterone...i think it would better serve humanity to have more men with less testosterone...especially in prison!...better living through chemistry!...i recently paid off a medical bill after 3 years and asked for an itemized account of said bill and was saddened but not surprised when i saw that i was charged for 6 injections of leuprolide acetate at more than $1000 per injection when i had only been given one injection of this drug...not surprisingly the medical mafia has completely taken over health care and the multi-trillion dollar ripoff continues without anyone in government getting off their lazy overpaid butts to address these scams...
I've been listening to a lot of Rita Payes (trombone and vocals) and Andrea Motis (trumpet and vocals) both from spain and excellent jazz musicians...
