Friday 19th 49F/9.4C. A cloudy morning with light rain. Brighter after lunch. Light winds. Room 64F/18C. Greenhouse 53F/12C.
Up at 6.45.
9.45 Back from a 3/4 of an hour walk to the lanes and beyond. I was slightly breathless throughout. One of the large, brown birds of prey was sitting on a field beside the lane. As usual it retreated.
I was tempted to go for a ride but the forecast put me off. I may go this afternoon if it brightens up from the present, miserable grey.
11.15 I have been clearing the drain under the kitchen sink. It had been slow to empty of late. So I dismantled the trap. Which proved to be perfectly clear. The problem lay with the oversized "plug hole" being blocked. By a slow build up of food waste in the narrow spaces. Presumably from rinsing and washing up dinner plates. Pouring bleach down there had not made any difference. I keep a 6" rubber plunger nearby. That too had found its limits. All is well now. As good as new.
The forecast was completely reversed. A dry morning. Followed by rain after lunch.
Another day spent on YT. I am much improved. Though none the wiser. As to the eventual outcome of our journey. We are confronted with multiple, simultaneous hurdles. For want of a better term. AI is making exponential progress. Seemingly without moral constraint.
Robotics continue to amaze. With new acrobatic tricks on a daily basis. Robots could replace all physical labour within a few short years. While AI could simultaneously remove all need for humble human brainpower in most forms of employment and even science.
Together, they leave us all twiddling our thumbs in the breadline. With no obvious means of financial support. Do IT billionaires have some unspoken plan for humanity? One which still leaves them with customers for their robot factories? Do robots need to pay taxes when no ordinary human being can?
Illegal immigration is threatening our very survival. Even before climate change leaves potentially billions without a habitable home. Civil war over much of Europe is a real threat and perhaps only weeks or months away. Our supposed leaders seem blind to the risks. Actively encouraging further immigration and censuring their own people if they complain.
Science is facing a burning of all the [existing] textbooks. Most of their assumptions are proving increasingly illusory. As new instruments poke ragged holes in their fabricated, fabric of space.
Quantum Mechanics throws lots of potential spanners into assorted works. Quantum computers aided by AI can alter our banking systems and deny us any useful form of online security and/or anonymity in the street.
Reality itself is being increasingly cast as a simulation. The math says so. We can manifest wealth on demand.
We are faced with the reality, or otherwise, of UFOs/UAPs finally being exposed by officialdom. Aliens or human time travelers? Niether? All of the above?
Putin is increasingly desperate and getting short of battlefield victims and the means to pay their widows. His returning, pardoned criminals are causing mayhem. Vast industries haven't been paid in a long time. He rants about nuclear weapons and invading NATO.
Just as his blowjob toyboy [Chump] descends into complete oblivion. The USA is so close to the jagged rocks that its very survival is in very serious doubt. Vast numbers are unhealthy and on the poverty line. While its elites enjoy wealth beyond the dreams of avarice.
Our orbiting instruments are now revealing new details about well established historical sites. Only corruption prevents their further exploration on the ground. Or rather, under it. History and prehistory are becoming pockmarked fairy stories in the face of new information.The established news media has become completely irrelevant. Most now get their news online. Our young are all victims of spinal curvature. As they spend their lives on their mobile phones.
The list goes on.
Dinner was cheese on toast with tomato soup.
