Nothing discourages. Everything gets counter-intuitive circumspect in introspect. |
|
I’m not in the know. I just know. Not a crusader, taught by righteous hypocrisy of a pathetic narcissistic paternalistic society — the truth of power corrupts absolute…sometimes. People are basically good, but lack time or introspect to get comprehension, lack witness of the lay of a landscape, but invent and control whatever narrative they cling to. Either weak, naive or arrogant, subscribers of apathy are compliant absolute when a pout and shrug delivers an, ‘it is what it is’. The ultimate, ‘try not to think about’, so you can sleep…or be nocturnal like a clueless Batman. I observe. I’m not saying I’m any better. Finger pointers could feel shame for misdirection, false gossip that could slander ignorantly, never launching a question. All of it speaks to a mind that can complete the landscape (observing, testing, trials with components and time) by what withheld: truth absolute. Dangerous to play with, foolish to think you own it, let alone rent. You’re being played. No, it’s not a game. These…are not stories, but can be.

Will WW3 occur? I say No, because the first (country) to fire a nuke is likely going to be annihilated for doing so… Google AI helps me get perspective: Yes, Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) is a real and foundational doctrine of military strategy. Your memory is likely accurate: it describes a "lose-lose" scenario where neither side can win a nuclear war because both would be completely annihilated in the process. Fiveable How MAD Works The Principle: It is based on rational deterrence. If an attacker knows that a victim has the "second-strike capability" to retaliate even after being hit, they won't launch the first attack. The "Triad": To make destruction "assured," major powers maintain a nuclear triad—bombers, land-based missiles, and submarines—so that no single strike can wipe out all their weapons at once. The Stalemate: This creates a Nash equilibrium, a situation where no player has an incentive to change their strategy (initiate conflict) because doing so leads to their own destruction. Wikipedia How it Applies as Tensions Grow As global friction increases in 2026, MAD remains a "tense but stable" deterrent, but it faces new modern pressures: Deterrence of Direct War: Historically, MAD has prevented "Hot Wars" between superpowers, pushing conflict into smaller "proxy wars" instead. As tensions rise, MAD acts as a "ceiling" that discourages direct military engagement between nuclear nations. Erosion of Treaties: Trust is currently strained. Major agreements like New START (the last remaining treaty limiting U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals) are expiring or being suspended, leading to fears of a new, unconstrained arms race. Technological Threats: New advancements like hypersonic missiles (which move too fast for current defenses) and AI-enabled command systems could destabilize MAD by making a "decapitation strike" (destroying a leader's ability to retaliate) seem possible. The "Stability-Instability Paradox": Some experts argue that because MAD makes nuclear war unthinkable, it actually encourages lower-level conventional conflicts and cyberattacks, because leaders believe their opponents won't risk "ending the world" over a smaller provocation. Wikipedia Would you like to know more about the "Dead Hand" system—the automated technology Russia uses to ensure MAD even if its leaders are gone? (END) —————————————— I might ask tomorrow. ——————————————- What looks like history repeating akin to WW2, I offered a different Google response, basically characterizing and showing parallels and differences that make it seem everything is headed that way (another world war). "Re: Are we in World War III?" Trump might “act” a bit crazy to intimidate other countries into being cool. I’ve always got the feeling since his first term he’s trying to make us feel something by his poor diplomacy. But, he may actually be unhinged because he doesn’t like to lose. He’s likely divided a country with the rift between Republicans and Democrats. Mommy and Daddy in this situation are fighting over who gets control of their pop superstar sensation, America. The war on humanity is what concerns me most. The more infighting (within our borders, states, cities and towns), the less government representation of our constitutional rights. Maybe, more ICE. Maybe, I’m too tired to smarterer enough issue answer….zzzzzzz….imknew I shouldn’t have…lunched…er, launched. I played a reporter in real life. Is this real life? How u liking ur inflashun? Per capita income has doubled since 1979? That can’t be right. But inflation and the Big Mac are five times higher. Bet six or seven is not far off. How’s that ketchup packet tasting? Geez, B. Go to bed, already. Spell check? NO. sorry, overruled. Maybe, someone can be pissed at me tomorrow because I have sooooooooo much control. Pull the string on my back and let’s see what it says…. Nope. I don’t wear boots. I have my resume…here…somewhere… Ah, here it is. First skill: I throw stuff at other stuff. Wrong resume. Nodded off again…save! |

What blizzard is this where in a globe, safe, beautiful life inside found? I move at my pace as it rages — apparent but transparent contributes nothing to synergy. Inside grows a mass, outside cascades of shattered glass, continuous crash — only melodic echo in heart accord walking a white cave — insulated, awesome. No distress. What is this world on earth that only knows me, speaks nothing but whispers of white avalanches shaping a crown for my head, frost cooled for a happy fool? I trudge, in soft pale drifts from morn until moon-lit night. Echoes of whispers gap pulsations of harmonic warmth, a soul’s breath. I inhale safe in a globe of death.

| When throwing a basketball, I know it could travel down court at 60 mph. But, with a flick of the wrist, the ball spun nearly like a spiral, it comes out hot, breaks high and settles at a much slower rate when reaching target. The physics of it I won’t understand, but the feel of a ball in my hand speaks. Whether it’s repeated play, and/or desire for precision, and/or joy felt in that moment, just a split second, confidence accurately plays. A near lifelong love, a lot of time dedicated alone to it. Friendships were made. As with any target, trust God decides. He is why I need no eyes to recall, to envision again with an unshakable conviction. And Godless Google AI? Your brain is performing a high-level, subconscious maneuver known as procedural memory and subcortical motor control, a state athletes often call being "in the zone." You learned this through thousands of repetitions that transferred the skill from conscious thought to automatic, reflexive action. USA Basketball Here is how your brain keeps this secret from you: 1. The Cerebellum: Your Internal "Auto-Pilot" When you first learned to pass, your cerebral cortex (conscious brain) was heavily involved, thinking about grip, arc, and velocity. Through practice, this control shifted to the cerebellum. USA Basketball The Secret: The cerebellum is responsible for fine-tuning movements, coordinating complex muscle sequences, and, crucially, predicting where the ball (and teammate) will be. The Action: It acts on its own, allowing you to react in a split moment without conscious thought. USA Basketball 2. Predictive Modeling & "The Matrix" Your brain creates an internal "movie" of the pass about half a second before your body actually performs it. Quora The Process: The brain’s motor cortex and basal ganglia work together to predict the trajectory and speed required based on previous experiences. The Result: It simulates the path and calculates the necessary spin (finger snap) instantly. Paris Brain Institute 3. Sensory Feedback Loop Even though you are not consciously thinking about the pass, your brain is processing massive amounts of data: Proprioceptors: Sensors in your muscles and joints send data to the cerebellum regarding your limb positions. Visual Cues: Your brain assesses the distance, speed of the receiver, and defensive pressure instantly. Smithsonian Magazine 4. "In the Zone" = No Thinking When you snap the ball and it arcs perfectly, it is because your prefrontal cortex (executive, thinking brain) is silent, allowing the subcortical, automatic systems to take over. If you did start thinking about the mechanics in that split second, you would likely ruin the pass. UHealth Collective In summary: You learned this skill by building a vast library of motor memories in your cerebellum, which now automates the arc, speed, and spin, leaving your conscious mind free to just see the open teammate. USA Basketball Thanks! Now I really feel special for all the 8-hour days. I can do “no thinking?” Yup, that’s God. *visualizes another ‘movie’* |
| A Time To Pray To God And Physics Freeze gravity? When does it go back on? Please, I do not want to float in a descending elevator 40 stories up, should power be interrupted, when the gravity effect return, a human unfastened floor sent — free-falling appendages from vault will not stick that landing… flightless bird in a cage, in a vomit comet, speeding to 113 miles per hour?

| Soundless Theater He gesticulated to himself in the mindful quiet so loud, I thought I could hear his mind work. Reminded of the heavy machinery I’ve heard, I recall operated, it felt I could go on a spin, jolted between the clutches of propane-compelled, hydraulic function — when a daydream broke, alerted time to eat in the daze of young. His thoughts animated so loud, I heard the bedside, word-plodding nights, a voice sent story into shadows I could witness — hid behind sheer curtains, danced inside my window, when a thunderstorm alert so loud woke up the night in cold, distant flashes. Memories display warm colors where I had played. Fingertip sprays of water droplets, thick, sideways rattled a pane, in continuous motion sent along rigid siding in a spectrum blast, reminded of a sprinkler in heat. Repeated now, like a murderer’s first slashing kill shot, before each weakened until the last. But, reverie will not last. He’s found the remote, all charades dissipated. He could only play with the sound off. Better images formed within him, like where I sat, on century old floor boards, mildew and dust added to the museum-like wonder — beside warmth of a cleaning woman, lap-picture-book propped and angled so I could see, and realizing now, she had memorized all the old stories, lending more animation for a silenced-age voice. Some books she knew since a kid, opened like a warm matinee theater, with the smell of her lotion, safety, ease for any worry. Normalcy. I could reminisce any time I wanted, every time I felt an ache too loud — as when I looked upon her, that mouth frozen and unfrozen, moon-shadowed. Dizzied words yet linger, want to dance off my tongue int continuous nights. Still playing,her light gesticulations in harmonic wonder, easier moved inside a small space, widening a cabin, comported. But, the world’s gone white and only I witness one sad clown with my own kind of mirror that picks up a thick, rapid pulse, coarsing as greasy machinery I’ve bounced upon, jerked, without an issued hard hat. I worked in those same storms, dreamed the storyteller awake. I could actually be alive because of her. But, I had grown, as my own have, and no one to tell an imaginative story. I’m searching for the right kind of construct, devised to say to them, I’m still here — before he snoozes again, and misses the musical sections of life. In columns of time, many memories scrawl, notations as unwitnessed reminders, unrecognizable but for the handwriting — spraying like fluid across his glue face that I don’t identify, or if a leak when operating at wrong speeds. No tempo, I don’t live in cages of that heavy equipment — but lie, recline even, in some soft machination of dreamless story. A ratchet-arm gear shift angles him to witness: a white, antique, 2-dimensional block of cloud hover over an empty space. The tv flashed and sprayed its own lightning in a soundless theatre. Still awake, yet he’s probably dead, when not snoring. 2.17.26 80 lines of free verse prose-like story within story, outside himself It can be made to fit two pages, where you request an offering to fill just one.

I’m too tired…from this…
Yes, I do spend a lot of time day dreaming. What? A think tank? If they put my brain in a jar? Yes, this is me talking to me with another thought’s hat on. What is a metaphor? Yes, that is from Community when Britta explains metaphor to Jeff. I swear I can catch that tail that keeps chasing me. Just give me…another 30…years. I might be tired by then. Where will you be? Not in a lab experiment? Okay, then you’ll know where to find me. Yes, I’ll see ya when I’ll see ya. Yes, from Community. But, I don’t think they get… Right, but that wasn’t the first time I heard the…heyyyy! Oh, you’re tired? See ya. That wasn’t so diff….rude. Now, back to what I was saying to myself. Oh, I’m still writ-ting?  Yes, I do know the difference between talking and writing, but I think if I were a bit lazier, I could  it in. It’s just these pesky emoticons that inspire memes in my dreams…are you writing that down?Uh-huh. Go on… 2.15.26 It’s freaky, but my mind came up with another song for this portion of the soundtrack of my life. Does any of this sound ‘discouraged’ to you? You really don’t know me. Have you ever thought about caring for humanity? Killing it won’t save you. Unless, how much money you worth? Is your hair yellow cotton candy? I’m not going to edit this for a while. Maybe, the typos wil amuse you. (Although, I can point this index finger at Apple for most of that…and another finger.) I would flex on you…but, I’ve played with your kind before.  Mom said. Oh, the song. *Looks it up* Did you feel it? Love going out of Valentine’s Day like helium from a balloon, a corner ceiling float descending behind the recliner, where we play after all humanity…fill in the rest… T̵̢̝̗̰̪̠̹͗̾̾h̵̥͉̲̠̍̽͛̌͂̆̚ě̸̗͓̱̺̮̣̽͆ Ab̴̦̄̈͐̾̑̚͝s̸͉̻̃͘ě̸̗͓̱̺̮̣̽͆n̴̝͚͎͔̘̰̅ͅcě̸̗͓̱̺̮̣̽͆ o̷͍̥̣̺͋f̶̭̱̘͇͊͋̾̋̄͆ Wa̴͙͓̓̕vě̸̗͓̱̺̮̣̽͆l̵̩̘̯̪͋͒͒̉͒̄ě̸̗͓̱̺̮̣̽͆n̴̝͚͎͔̘̅ͅg̸̫͙̻̭͐͝ț̴̵̢̝̗̰̪̠̹̈́͌͆̑͋͂̅͗̾̾h̵̥͉̲̠̍̽͛̌͂̆̚  Come at me, bro! You’d never get a word in, edgewise. Hmm, origin of that word. I’ll never stop learning, craving information. I bet you know the type. You hate that person. Leave some time for yourself … To love yourself, silly. I got two cans of nonsense here. Which one do you want me to spray on you first? And the worst blog post award goes to…a 90-way tie…all about…sorry, the handwriting is not legible. Legible? Hmm, AI? I said, ALL DAY, son! Why wouldn’t he just play one sport?  He’s better off than me. I’m that guy — to everyone. Just give it enough time. Mom did NOT have me tested. And, it wouldn’t have made a difference. Look at all of you. Right. Introspection. But, it doesn’t have to come with a can of guilt. What have you been spraying yourself with? Yes, that did end on a preposition. No, you’re the pedantic one…the party of the first part. Did I not just say…you know…about me. It’s like talking to my brother at bed time from the upper bunk, but it’s just me writing. I think, I now know why we switched beds when we got older. I sprayed him with the good can. What do you think? What could I? Right. Go to sleep. This could have ended…shhhh, my mom’s coming… Everybody could have been my best friend, buttttt… I’m me. Too much. I’ve lived with it for…counts on hands, feet, looks around for about 40 more digits. Sorry, mom. She became a Cub Scout den mother, and figured out (rather recently), to bring friend prospects to me. It worked for part of a summer when I was 12. Gordon watched me collect 33 bees in one jar, one day. It broke. I now know how cyclones start, in slow motion, further proving — that insect is not the avenging type. And, a friend. So, now you know. Yeah, he’s not making any sound up there. Sometimes, I think he fakes…er, faked. Flash light just died. So much for comics. This is what promoted lifelong insomnia. Yup, I just got that. Good thing I also was physically active 12-16 hours every day, when not reading graphic novels in whatever dark. I quietly competed, kept games close, so I kept friends…but had to satisfy a need to win. Losers don’t come back,so I became “loser”. What kinds of friends did they stock in my neighborhood? People who needed something to reject, feel better about themselves. My instinct was to do for others, or…nothing for me. But, learned to sit back and enjoy my kind of charity. Never felt empty, just frequently alone. How can you be alone in nature, especially if you’re with you. I stayed up all night to write her two Valentine’s poems with picture post on Facebook. (Insert crickets) I woke at 9:20 pm yesterday. She went to bed shortly after. I might be sleeping…now. When I stay up, one of the three cats sleeps in the chair across from me. He follows me to the bathroom. Visits at the sink when I brush. He meows like ‘where’d everybody go?’ when I meow back. He wants to lay in my lap. Can’t get comfortable. My wife is softer. He practically will wrap around her neck like a fur collar, when not mimicking her as body pillow. My mom died in 1999. My dad died nearly a year later. My brother died two years ago…hmmm…tomorrow. Maybe, I’m a pest and annoying like a cat that just doesn’t know what to do with himself, but has us as parents who got him other cats to play with. I think he’d rather be a human. What does that make me? Goodnight. (Pretend hears sirens outside, too lazy to type asterisks…hmm, word origin?) Like I said…edits…later…oh, song. Right. Yup, still in my head. I’ll put it below, instead… “I won’t take the easy road,” on a lyrical loop. I could have written the song in the lyricist’s dream Too much? If I shortcut life, I will regret. But regret pales as time moves forward. My buckets have been full half a life ago. Doubled and flowing over because I’m with family…the true dream. And a good reality to wake to, and say, I did that. You do you. Whatever that is. You won’t know me, if none of this reaches. If some inane bias makes you indignant, I’d say I’d worry for you. But, I think you think you got it covered. Just know, I was here. You can’t just edit out parts/gifts that mattered. Regret is selling anything short. Give people more credit, starting with yourself. Vrooom! I just don’t quit. I’m old enough, seasoned enough from experience to lecture. But, ears and selectivity are a part of our shared relativity, going in reverse. You think some false outside influence manipulates our unbound unity, trying to get the ‘right thing’, disconnect from what we deep within know is right? But, someone indignantly rubbed something all over a bully’s face, as it walks around like there isn’t anything nthere. It’s not brave to intimidate, to make silent. It’s only more foolish. One day, someone will snap out of it and ask ‘what was that all about’? Chalk it up to ‘it is what it is’, not because you can’t explain it, but futility to admit modern civilization enslaves minds, dictates actions and words, by getting idiot neighbors to be arrogant, ego-serving, PC police, like I’m the counter-intuitive one acting a fool/criminal? Nuh-uh. Between us, who’s really ignorant and admitting it, claiming virtue is vulnerability over the unnecessary humility the mindless and arrogant apply, because they’re ’trying to watch the game’…and try to keep up in their Stockholm. You’ve been conned. I can’t get my priorities straight in the asymmetry of fucked up humanity, dying on the vine because more of our time, money and gifts are being manipulated and accessed without respect, because leaders say obligation, or act like they need our charity. Again, save some sunshine for yourself. You’re absolutely not selfish to be the center of your universe. We praise people we don’t even know, who false-humbly relish themselves champions, building their brand. If you’re Drew Brees, I like you fine. If your Alex Ridriguez, how the hell? Brett Favre. You’re just an idiot who they pumped up, built up and stood up, so championships could restore a once great franchise. A tome would follow here. The innocence is gone. Virtue is lacking and a madman is caricature of everything that symbolizes the end of a free world. I’m not dreaming electric sheep, or being Elon Musk’s cyborg, because technology has gotta keep goin’ faster than comprehension. I smell a car salesman trying to close a deal. No one can slap sense into someone who’s got a thirst for power and money at this late hour. So, drink the kool-aid, or be anarchist? Again, I will regret shortcuts. What flavor you got? Not enough sugar for that. I need bed and to stop throwing my words away into a cesspool. I just don’t have time to value them, preferring to like myself. And value something that is bleeding me as a sucker. P.T. Barnum was the leech. Big Top Capitalism, walls, humanity genocide…take your pick, apathy-influenced, will-be compliant, finger-pointing assailant of whatever destroys what bonds of whatever unity, like the mitochondria building up inside all, in a global greenhouse, full of its own methane. Now, I won’t sleep. I’ll likely take this down, after that edit. I used to be a journalist. Sidelined, I’m not itching to get back in, because I can get myself fired up and then fired in five minutes. Read me, know me. Ask questions. But most of all, be more than fair for reciprocity’s sake. This is your ‘village idiot’ speaking. |

Got enough headaches… Offering No Excuses: My Mind And I My mind wanted to make itself up today but then saw reality lurking before deciding it wasn’t sure and went back it to hiding despite encouragement, always the positive one trying to point out this and that to everyone, offering a podium and mic without consult as I checked the math again with my mind and found a lack of confidence had wiped off half the chalkboard equation. that saboteur now asks for a snack, some booze and pop a squat on the fence — with life binoculars, we observe what looks like ever-changing slides under a hazy, monocle-microscope before dizzy and falling again, but my mind is happy to have an excuse to run off with distraction.

| How to know if I’m a true character in the story depends on how many lines dispensed for purpose of plot, to explain this thing right now, what happened back there, or say, “look, it’s starting to snow.” If moving the story along or acting the weatherman, or giving a summarized perspective, you just might be a narrator. And so on and so forth. There’s trope for that. Uh-huh In the future, everything we say or do will be pre-scripted by narrative-driven dominators who can’t see the end of humanity they contribute to. Polled: 83% of Americans deem our inflation driven economy is “critical.” I para-phra-embellished. It’s much worse. I’ve been reporting for about a year, people will be forced to live within means.

Bus, ride share, or quit and stay home, save 10-15k depreciation for year. Not buying a car to quit a job pays for itself. Imagine if a million people default tomorrow. I advocate this type of organized mayhem to get away from this dependency to have status with 12-year loans on family SUVs, cheapest you’ll find, because they dumped all car manufacturing. Wall Street will piss itself. When do the rich fight with the rich to the death? I’d get the popcorn ready. Any islands left that Epstein didn’t buy? Or, in foreclosure? 8 million for an island by Barbados? Late 90s? I missed out. I always wanted to…fish? Maybe…putting it out there…customer can be king again. Wear heavy boots when kicking tires and shiftless salesmen. Pay the no-haggle price? Laugh and walk away. I’d stick a tongue on the glass wall showroom and make a face. May I suggest, blowfish?

All intoxicates a heart yearning existence, when… a drunk fly haphazardly buzzes through our room, braced by the 100-year, two by four walls, floor by floor intersected — material-dependent pipes weaving, unseen through vacuums, void of memory, divining sharp-turn-passages in perforate. From fittings to furnace, of life water chill to steaming, haunched metal creatures prison-bolt to the drained concrete foundation — delivering in dank, in dark, making all more temperate. Careful to fine tune the soulless implements and pay mind to a Goliath construct with black-layered pate as canopy, dispelling spillage from miles above — dispensed cloud offerings unfurl finger-tip nails of chlorophyll-filling, coif-photosynthesized hair returning, as does a greening yard rug.

I’m reminded of shows with minds that detect something, using senses like smell that others don’t pick up on. I’m not clever. Yet, In my chair lately, I’ve smelled eminences that aren’t apparent: weed, beer stench, sulfur. I’m still trying to remember others; but, it might be about my location in the corner of the living room, facing the window, next to the china cabinet. The cat poo detector is always on by default. What’s surprising is I will pick up on a smell my wife doesn’t detect. Her very sensitive ears and nose can work her OCD button to eliminate. Is it my location, cabinet, new home heating (I smelled boiled water more with the old), or something else? Further, am I unwittingly puzzling a mystery? I’m certain the weed smell is below. My wife properly would not want to admit knowing our youngest is culprit. But, investigation says otherwise. This is a process that reminds how you can build these moments into a mystery story with other elements to entertain. I’ve quashed the notion. Nothing currently encourages but the same insane belief: they will come, they will read. Not: you’re bored, you’re entertaining yourself. I figured a blog post appropriate, filling obligation foremost. I don’t like shortcutting or mailing things in over thinking myself a bit clever. Then, it’s cut bait and go after the next thing. It’s an ongoing story. I can resume wonderment any time I care. So, is it tied to ADHD? I can have an overactive imagination. Yeah…no. Can’t say but wait for the next olfactory impulse. So, when the end comes, and I wash up on the other shore, I’ll see ya. |
| The following proceeded a string of poems, as perspective gained but lost as ADHD/OCD ramble on… The Poetry Way I’ll always write poetry. I’ll always be alone. And I’ll be a bit Emily, no reason for a phone. Undisturbed, life hums with nothing but me, momentary photo albums, of potential places I might see. If life is non-linear it’s not up to me to say. What goes in one ear goes out the other, next day. I write because I’m a fool — but really just a big kid, discovering secrets yet cool, revisit haunts where I’ve hid. I have anecdotes in rhyme. I really must have bumped my head — repetition time after time all the stories already said. But a puzzle, life like this enters the parental perspective, understanding their ignorant bliss. Mystery is life, how best to live. Discouragement given unto me — no passion or dream allow — but be safe, live practically, stand behind an implement plow. So, ignorant, like vowed poverty, I’ve lived dreams in words no other visionary will see. So, to cages my words for your birds. The prettiest things I’ll hear utter in streams from my mouth. Odes here will only cull my ear. Seasonable words go places south. 1.29.26 36 words, traditional rhyming I lied above, consequentially, because during retrieval for the above space placeholder, this poem was born. But it lands on the mark in regards to succession. https://nick2512williams.medium.com/the-linear-and-the-non-linear-0e534057c33d If you want to see how minds work differently from mine.

IN THIS EPISODE of Ask The Right Questions? Michael Gorbachev - “…I have often told listeners that I feel Americans need their own change — a perestroika, not like the one in my country, but an American perestroika — and the reaction has been markedly different.” So, is America going through some kind of Perestroika? Google-AI While a direct replication of Soviet perestroika (restructuring) is unlikely due to differing political systems, some analysts argue the U.S. is experiencing a similar moment of necessary, painful, and urgent systemic reform. Parallels are drawn regarding potential systemic decline, shifts in economic thinking, and efforts to overhaul bureaucratic structures. Arguments for a "U.S. Perestroika" Moment: * Economic Strategy Shift: A profound shift in U.S. strategic and economic thinking, recognized in 2023 as needing to fix a flawed, long-standing approach, is seen as a potential "perestroika" moment. * Systemic Overhaul: Current efforts to reduce government entanglement, challenge established institutions, and reorder political priorities are compared to restructuring attempts. * Information Control: Similar to the late Soviet period, current American politics features intense debates over language, such as redefining diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and using executive orders to alter official narratives. * Global Retreat: Some suggest the U.S. is undergoing a "surrender of power" comparable to voluntary Soviet withdrawals, marking a drastic change in global posture. Key Differences and Challenges: * Systemic Structure: The U.S. is a democracy with a Constitution and different economic foundations, unlike the centrally planned Soviet model. * Outcome Uncertainty: While perestroika aimed for reform, it ultimately led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. * Lack of Consensus: Unlike the top-down nature of Soviet reforms, similar changes in the U.S. face intense political, social, and legal resistance. Analysts like Harold James have noted that while comparisons are made, the U.S. system's unique, long-term fundamentals make a total replication of the Soviet collapse unlikely, though systemic, painful restructuring is ongoing. SUGGESTED Articles: 2023-American About To Have It’s Perestroika Moment https://nationalinterest.org/feature/america-about-have-its-perestroika-moment-2... 3/2025 - Trump Brings Perestroika To America https://asiatimes.com/2025/03/trump-brings-perestroika-to-america/ 2012-M.Gorbachev-Perestroika Will Renew The West (me: change coming?) https://www.ajc.com/news/opinion/global-perestroika-will-renew-and-the-west/CxT8... Google AI- Mikhail Gorbachev proposed a "global perestroika" in his later years, arguing that the need for "new thinking" to solve global challenges—such as environmental issues, poverty, and nuclear proliferation—could renew the U.S. and the West, just as his reforms aimed to restructure the Soviet Union. This concept emphasized universal cooperation, interdependence, and a moral foundation for international politics rather than zero-sum, conflict-driven approaches. Key aspects of Gorbachev's "global perestroika" vision included: * A Call for New Thinking: Similar to how perestroika (restructuring) and glasnost(openness) were needed to break the totalitarian system in the Soviet Union, Gorbachev argued the West needed a similar, profound change in its approach to international relations. * Solving Global Challenges: The goal was to move beyond the Cold War mentality to address modern challenges like inequality and climate change, which he believed required collective, cooperative, and non-violent action. * Overcoming Structural Issues: Gorbachev argued that the West, particularly the US, needed its own "perestroika" to move beyond economic and political systems that were failing to meet the needs of humanity. * Moral Foundation: Politics should not be a "dirty business" but must be anchored in a moral core that focuses on the common good, overcoming the cynicism of pure power politics. Gorbachev believed that this, the "new thinking," would renew the West by forcing it to confront its own limitations and adapt to a more interconnected, interdependent world, ultimately creating a more stable and prosperous global order. —————————- More, and my biggest concern with rampant inflation, economic colllapse…there seems among us those who are aware of something and grabbing up cash like it’s on fire… Rumors of conglomerations buying out little guy/mom and pop may mean poorer service, fixed rates, less guarantees…just think…Yeltsin’s Russia… https://theconversation.com/will-the-u-s-collapse-like-the-soviet-union-did-2502... Man in blue Mystery prediction of Nostradamus (play that “card” in response to pondering how close are we to Nostradamus’ 27-year World War? Nukes? Assured mutual destruction?? Kåre เลียม Enga  Google AI- Yes, interpretations of Nostradamus's 16th-century quatrains have long featured a prediction regarding a "leader in blue" or a "blue turban" who is deemed a significant threat to world peace. This figure is often linked to interpretations of a third "Antichrist" or "King of Terror". Key Aspects of the "Leader in Blue" Prophecy: * The Blue Turban/Leader: Nostradamus enthusiasts frequently cite a prophecy describing a "strong master" from "Greater Arabia" who wears a blue turban and enters Europe. This figure is portrayed as a source of terror and war, leading to a long-lasting conflict. * The "King of Terror" (Mabus): Many interpretations of the "leader in blue" are intertwined with the prediction of "Mabus" or a "King of Terror" who emerges to disrupt the global order. * World War III/Conflict: Predictions often suggest this leader will spark a conflict (sometimes described as World War III) that lasts for 27 years, often involving alliances against the West. * Interpretation and Misinterpretation: These predictions are highly interpretive and often adjusted to fit modern events. Some interpretations from the 1980s linked this to a 1988 Middle Eastern leader, while more recent interpretations have sometimes tried to adapt the "blue" theme to other political figures. Important Context: * Vague Nature: Nostradamus’s Les Propheties are written in vague, poetic, and often symbolic quatrains, making them subject to constant re-interpretation. * Unfulfilled Dates: Previous interpretations of this specific "King of Terror" or "blue" figure often pointed to 1999 or 1988, neither of which resulted in the predicted apocalypse. * Modern Reinterpretation: The "leader in blue" theme is frequently updated, with some recent internet speculation attempting to connect these old predictions to modern political leaders. Disclaimer: Interpretations of Nostradamus are subjective, and many predictions attributed to him have not come to pass as interpreted. https://www.tyla.com/news/politics/living-nostradamus-donald-trump-nicolas-madur...

| Hammerhead and Others As a tool I’m not the instrument in any other hand yet operate somehow, being used and confused… at first there is a marble sculpture in a garage I’m lent the noise and clatter cast off in a heated deteriorating process that I am to pay for damages for something I produce that’s not my own compelled to share as an instrument hammering rock with a head harder than stone and alone I wonder what’s more ignorant — that which behaves burdened having incentivized my ability to be so naive that which chooses to live how it dreams crush rock seeking inner beauty when purpose as tool reveals I have the diamond core that you would implore until you didn’t get what you want a tool, an instrument of self-abuse, I will not be until I’m told just what you intend since I plugged in sawing and chipping away to recall the hidden core of my youth with vigor you would deny me — because blinded by my own dust something I didn’t perceive was ill-conceived and made by me 1.19.26 Made public without edits, 1.8.26 I can follow it now and like the muddled mess of thoughts because it’s the process to get here, and learn regret is better than shame, but neither serve if I am to continue producing my art with what remaining naïveté. I cherish a childlike knowledge with thirst to evolve…hopefully preserving what can’t be eroded by its ward — nostalgic sentiment. |
