I remember as a child being able to go from zero to full speed running in a second. Running full steam around the bases, was simple. I remember driving my first muscle car 0-60 in 5 seconds, God how I love speed. One time I drove from the Sagamore bridge on Cape Cod to my house, which normally is more than an hours drive, in less than 30 minutes. I was sure if I could go fast enough I could get time to reverse, but that’s a story for another day.
Today it’s certainly different, although I still love speed I like “control” much more than when I was a kid. We see that control in many cases is in our mind, it’s a decision we all have to make as to how much we control ourselves or are willing to give control to others. However, we learn to control what we can, reality shows us, that control in our lives can be altered in many ways by an illusion cast onto us.
If I have learned anything in the past four years it’s the love for my freedoms, my liberties, and the ability for myself to control as much of my life that I can.
It’s as obvious as the sun rose this morning that there is a large group of really messed up people that have it out to control all of us, from the time we are born to the day we are laid to rest, and this past 4 years had given them a taste of that power. We see with clear eyes the illusions they create to gain control over us. They create dilemma’s to make dyer situations and then crack down on us for resisting their remedies of control. It is in many ways a matrix they create that traps us into their systems. Wasn’t that Covid and now proven by The Horowitz report of the FBI’s involvement in their January 6th scheme, yet still people rot in their gulags which was done to control us by crushing resistance.
I hope that we all realize the importance that this next administration stays aware of how close we came to losing control over our lives based on illusion. We also have got a taste of what the government elites schemes and goals to control us are. We must never forget their real goal of ultimate control and power over us and make certain that “We” get to control our own lives, and that this control over one’s life always stays in the hands of “We the People” not a foreign corrupt perverted group. We must never forget what they did to us, how they did it and what their ultimate goals really are. J.Goodrich
It is actually, IMHO, even bigger than the psychopaths seeking to control us. It's like the stops have been pulled out. Hubs and I were talking about the major downside to AI and how it is destined to make pets of humans. As an experiment he asked ChatGPT to write a poem about his business. All he did was give the name of the business and in seconds there was a five stanza poem that artfully described the highest best intentions of the business. I swear my heart constricted. We are being slowly replaced. What need do humans have of thinking, being individuals with common sense and innovation if we allow AI to do it for us. I see nothing bu atrophy of our brains.
Meemanator I believe as we are replaced generations will just exist to be slaves to their system. This is probably their motivation to reduce the population by 6 plus billion people.
I know it’s happened I just hope people don’t forget, because they will never give up and for some reason people are drawn into their lies. At this point I trust no one. I’m hopeful but I need to see prosecutions and a lot of action!!
tru dat, the leftist vermin just want to kill as many "resource grabbing peasants" as they can, so that the "few" resources will be the "specials" to enjoy.
The sane folks know there are plenty of resources to go around, and that smart folks will keep adding to that basket.
We are under a mandate by God to have dominion over the earth. He did not spell out every aspect of how to do it, because he gave us the intelligence, creativity, snd freedom to know how to accomplish it; therefore, pleasing God.
You are correct, AI creates brain atrophy, and I will add slavery, to a system that is hostile to God. We should never cede our God-given mandate and intelligence to a manmade machine which is programmed by men with nefarious desires.
Yes and NO. We give one side control and power over our will, or we allow the control to tempt us and often lose the battle. If one has the Holy Spirit, one has the power of the Holy Spirit which is Jesus (as trinity) to tell Satan he has no power over us because Jesus lives in this temple. It's amazing! And Biblical. And really changes lives for God's glory.
J Peterson pointed out that most of the time, the psychopaths average about one percent of the population. Sane folks notice when that number gets to 3 percent.
Sane folks usually do something when the psychopaths reach about 5 percent of the population.
Since these rabid vermin tend to fester in colleges and media, and government, that problem has reached about ten percent, today.
And in the past, the sane folks got together, and exterminated enough rabid vermin to get that number back down to 1 percent.
Like with calculators. We all forgot how to do math. With smartphones, we've forgotten everyone's phone numbers. And that was way before AI... as far as we know...
Such a relatable comment. I loved riding my bike as fast as I could and riding my galloping horse out in a field, and once I could drive getting up to speed. I think it’s a true physical experience of freedom. Not to mention riding my bike, horse, or driving the car wherever I wanted to.
Makes me want a road trip. I guess I better gas up the car and get going while I still can.
YES. it is a very real concern that memory of this debacle will be lost and later generations, maybe even this young one now forming, will FAIL to recall this just has some generations after the Holocaust have failed to understand the gravity of what happened then.
What caused the poverty in Germany after WWI and the subsequent rise to power of a populist national party that turned on other nations, Jews, and caused Germany's collapse with war, again?!
What allowed the deep state to germinate 70 years ago and grow to a level it is the tail wagging the dog of the Federal government?
What allowed a hateful man like A. Fauci to be accommodated by this deep state and to kill millions worldwide with an apparent aim to take down the USA itself?
Will individuals really remember in their minds, what happened and why??
Memory of these events won’t help. They are quickly reinterpreted and manipulated . Fauchi isn’t worthy of a legacy. And it isn’t humanity he hates. It’s God. The Old Testament clearly outlines what must be remembered. It is moral perversion, narcissism, hubris, hypocrisy, ignorance of divine law AND the unwillingness to follow that which God has said is good. Mankind wants to BE like unto God. Witness Bill Gates. Technology will solve all problems. Paradise on earth. Climate is warming? No problem. We will just put a giant space sunscreen between us and the sun. Cow farts are contributing. No problem. We have a drug for that. Remember the Tower of Babel. As we climb into the stars and worship every form of “advancement “ our FIRST concern should be our spiritual nature and not just our physical. Who we are BEING not just how richly we are living. Simply by observing what comes natural in humans with no spiritual compass we can see in any age at any time what must be remembered.
JG, for me it was always about endurance, another expression of control. Knowing what you can do and recognizing your limitations - and how both can and do change over time. High School in Reston/Herndon in the 70s I ran, and ran and ran, in the woods I hiked and in the Marines I marched. I rowed at UW in Seattle during grad school where endurance AND strength WITH a team was important - a first for this loner. Over the years first running then effortless walking were taken but I still have my rowing - just put up 14k (meters) on the erg before b’fast.
This nation was designed to endure AND for strength AND for team work - a government that exceeds its limits will lose its aniline to govern at home and lose respect in the greater world. We’ve seen the high point of what America can be and recently it’s nadir. I’m looking forward to seeing America elevating again.
SR Miller, I’m also hopeful and looking forward to watching the rise of America again. It’s been a lot like a ball bouncing up and down between Obama, Trump, and Biden. It’s a shame we have to suffer through the lows because of corruption, anti American leadership or politicians just out to enrich themselves and sell out America. It seems now we are seeing pardons for profits, so despicable.
At one time I was an athlete until I began to notice girls. Then I began to work, hard physical work. But constant repetition is not so good for the body. I have come to learn the hard way that pain is weakness, and I have a lot of both now. Exercise will be the only thing that will allow me to continue to do my current job. Maybe eventually the pain will force me to change what it is that I currently do.
James, you have not detailed the source but DMSO sounds like it could potentially help. Suggest the Mid-Western Doctor: Forgotten Medicine . . . substack.
In the last two months or so he has authored very detailed letters covering DMSO(Di-methyl sulfoxide) and its potential for many different ailments. Applied carefully or drunk in water. Best of luck my friend.
I'm with you, Mr. Goodrich. I like cars, and always wanted a really fast car, which I finally bought in 2009 (and still have). But in the voyage of self-discovery that is life, I came to grips with the reality that, under most circumstances, I am more Buick LeSabre-speed. Further, cars are nice and interesting if only because their design and production combines so many fields of talent and know-how. But ultimately, they're transport from point A to point B. And with the various threats to life as I have always known it, presented by these ##$(*&*#$*#, having the most exciting or luxurious or interesting car just doesn't seem all that important any more.
James this is the car I had cut the trip time in half. They certainly made cars different and interesting in 1964. I bought this car for 3500 dollars in 1985, it was a rust free car delivered to me from the West Coast. What a deal. When I got the car I had to take the motor out and rebuilt it. 389 tri power car with a 4 speed!
Very nice! I subscribe to the "Rare Classic Cars & Automotive History" channel on YouTube. Adam has several times profiled mid-60s Pontiacs, and makes a good case that these years were the best of the brand in terms of quality, design, appeal. A GTO no less! The epitome of muscle cars. Nice work!
Had some fast cars in my day too, my 67 El Camino would turn a 12 second 1/4 mile, but I figured out that if I didn't save my need for speed to a race track somewhere I was likely to end up in the crowbar hotel. So I ended up doing this for 25 years.
I'm still not scared of speed in the least, but I find I'm not in such a hurry anymore.
BTW, That's a pretty sharp GTO! I'm working on what might be it's grandfather right now, hope to have it on the road next summer, a 1928 Pontiac 2 dr. coach. Gonna' call it granpa's GTO.
Yeah, I love to go fast too. Back in the 90's I started fixing up a rusty 280ZX, then got a 300ZX, and finally another with twin turbos 450HP-- amazing when they kick in. I Flew to North Carolina and bought that one; drove it back to MinnEsota. Dragged it twice on city streets when in my 60's!
Not classic cars but fun to drive fast. I was very lucky driving significantly over 100 and never being radar trapped, no accidents. Then, with the wife's crummy little Jeep 4x4 went off the road in slimy snow and totaled it at 30mph!
I would like to see the transparency of government and return of power to the people, become infectious and happen all over the globe.
Wouldn't it be grand to see governments everywhere, reduced to the simple task of protecting their citizens, and doing what's right. I know, I'm dreaming, but...
I could do that, when running downhill. It was the stopping I had trouble with.
Totally agree the rabid leftist vermin create problems and then propose solutions for those problems.
When Obummers chief of staff said, "never let a crisis go to waste", I wonder if he knew the rabid democrats would start creating crisis's to take advantage of.
You know, like nazis and commies.
The weird part, you could negotiate with nazis and commies.
There is nothing to talk about with the leftist rabid vermin.

Looking at the way bigger picture, I think it's just satan working overtime to destroy God's creation.
Do not share your pessimism James. I predict a snapback reaction is in the offering to curtail much of this nonsense
I know it’s happened I just hope people don’t forget, because they will never give up and for some reason people are drawn into their lies. At this point I trust no one. I’m hopeful but I need to see prosecutions and a lot of action!!
Agreed. Ha! - we've got souls and machines don't.
Hope and faith, hope and faith. God owns time so how long it takes is not set in stone.
Notably historically and currently, the fact that over 10,000 a day turn 65!
Now there's a force to reckon with.
How.....I do not have a clue whatsoever.
But am anxious to see what DJT has up his sleeve next 4 years at bat!
tru dat, the leftist vermin just want to kill as many "resource grabbing peasants" as they can, so that the "few" resources will be the "specials" to enjoy.

LIVE FREE—AS GOD INTENDED
We live free as GOD created us! But always remember our two sides inside Us!
Yes and NO. We give one side control and power over our will, or we allow the control to tempt us and often lose the battle. If one has the Holy Spirit, one has the power of the Holy Spirit which is Jesus (as trinity) to tell Satan he has no power over us because Jesus lives in this temple. It's amazing! And Biblical.

The Orange Exterminator is back.
Hope springs eternal. I think we will need Divine Intervention along with the Orange Exterminator. :-)
Meemanator, I used this line “hope springs eternal” on Sunday, but just saw your comment now. Just pointing that out! Seemed strange…
Great minds! Or, maybe in sync spirits?
Like with calculators. We all forgot how to do math. With smartphones, we've forgotten everyone's phone numbers. And that was way before AI... as far as we know...

Everyone knew that 55 mph was what you hit on the way to your favorite mph.
THAT is a goooood one!
I will never forget! Great post!
Thank you Teresa!!

Red, Today people have such a short memory, 4 years is a lifetime especially knowing the media will attack Trump everyday 7 days a week.

Seeing stuff like this still gets my blood to boiling. I hope we will see some kind of justice soon.
Sounds like maybe we should print out all our posts and save them. History needs more than lefty propaganda.
Print it out your thoughts using a laser printer and keep them in a safe place. We need to remember and to teach our descendants!

Thanks I actually still have that one. It was too nice to sell so we kept it. Still register it and drive it a couple times a year, lots of fun.
