When the internet was originally created it was just people connecting with people. But soon corporations came in and started controlling everything. Currently the internet is largely controlled and censored by corporations that simply want to make the most money off of peoples attention.

You’ve heard the saying, “Work smarter, not harder.” The most under appreciated and underutilized power you have is your subconscious mind! When you consistently feed the right programming into your subconscious mind, you’re activating the most powerful part of yourself. Reading your goals everyday Repeat affirmations Ingesting positive content If you try to lift up a refrigerator using only your pinky finger, you will fail. But if you ask 4 friends to help you, you will lift it up very easily. You have to use your big muscles to accomplish big things; your small muscles by themselves are not able to accomplish big things. Your biggest muscle is your subconscious mind. Use it wisely.

PLEASE SHARE THIS to help educate folks who don’t yet understand the dire need to oppose all this nonsense! *WATCH: James Lindsay at European Parliament - Woke Conference —> https://youtu.be/lc0684V2ej8 This conference was organized by the "Identity and Democracy Foundation” and MEP Tom Vandendriessche at the European Parliament on the 30th of March 2023. James Lindsay discusses: The definition of Equity - woke is Maoism with western characteristics. Marxism is a genus of ideological thought, with many different species in this genus bound together by intersectionality, but the logic is Marxist. Society produces man = inversion of praxis. Take out class, put in race: CRT falls out of the hat. How's Queer Theory Marxist? Cultural Marxism appears (or Western Marxism). Herbert Marcuse said the working class is no longer base of the revolution, abandons the working class and focuses on race, sexuality and culture. They see themselves as nations, evolved to attack the west. 'Being white is bad, being white is oppressive’. The European Cultural Revolution to destroy western civilization from within. Woke is Marxism evolved to attack the West, Europe is at great risk. The Goal is to make us global citizens: 17 sustainable goals (SDG) of UN = slavery. I have come to name the enemy.

I recently visited a Panera and on their menu they now designate “climate friendly” food items. What the actual F. Don’t fall for this climate BS or the ESG BS — it’s all a scam to take away freedom, liberty, rights and wealth from regular folks and hand it over to the globalists and the “elites”. Smaller companies will be crippled and penalized by dictatorial ESG requirements while larger companies simply buy their way out of it - THEY DON’T ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE COME MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY!!! They simply buy “credits” to stay in compliance. Total scam.

Earlier today I heard an atrocious modern version of the classic hit song "Kiss on My List" originally recorded by Hall & Oates in 1980. This boring tasteless cover had some bland woman singing with zero energy, zero character, and she was even copying Darryl Hall's ad libs verbatim. Terrible! Not only did it NOT come close to the quality of the original recording, but it was grating and annoying to hear such a BAD version of such a great hit song. Want to know why bad cover songs are recorded and released these days? Two reasons: 1. Modern songwriters aren’t able to write songs that are as good as classic hit songs, and 2. The record companies simply want to make as much money as possible rehashing old songs that they own the rights to. Art is ruined while huge companies make millions. Awful.

WARNING: ChatGPT has serious political bias and we should all understand NOW that these AI chatbots, etc. will never be practically reliable. It can’t even give correct answers to some simple math problems. Fo instance, it literally would NOT answer questions about Donald Trump's positive attributes, but it DID answer questions about Joe Biden's positive attributes! And beware of people telling you that Chat GPT will continue to improve - that may be true in some smaller areas but probably NOT regarding its BIAS.

Stop giving away all your power and freedom to “authority”!!! QUOTE from Timothy Leary: “Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities -- the political, the religious, the educational authorities --- who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing -- forming in our minds -- their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself.” (http://www.notable-quotes.com/l/leary_timothy.html) LINKS: — Lightness Meditation sessions, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJAyVkTL0GAK7FTOm-TzgBw/about — Podcast Engineering School, https://podcastengineeringschool.com/ — Chris’s fractal art and social media, http://fractalchris.com/ — The Mystic Show (podcast), https://themysticshow.net/ — Leap Beyond Your Limits (book) — https://www.amazon.com/Leap-Beyond-Limits-Chris-Curran/dp/1599303426

Your "elders" are your parents, extended family, and friends parents, etc. Your elders simply telling stories from their own lives can be incredibly helpful and useful to you. How much undisclosed wisdom remains unknown and then dies with older people before they convey it to another human being? Native American tribes understood the value of elders. Challenge to you: Ask some of your elders for wisdom around a particular topic that you’re interested in. And then simply LISTEN! And consider commenting below with the wisdom you received!

Some of my observations when driving a Tesla Model Y: — Fastest car I've ever driven, amazing acceleration. Passing other cars at will is literally instantaneous. — Computer interface was good. — Phone charging by just laying it on the center console. — Navigation brought us to charging stations along the way on our 13 hour drive. — Wasn't the smoothest drive - we felt every tiny bump, and big bumps were jarring. — Playing music and podcasts sounded great due to no engine noise! — It beeps when the person in front of you jams on the brakes, AND when you swerve toward or over any lines. — Getting in for the first time it took us a bit to figure out how to "start" it, put it into gear, etc. — Overnight it loses about 7-10 percent charge. (in the cold, at least) — Wipers can be set to automatic, which worked well.
