When Business goes Bad

This is a subject I can be very upset about. Especially when I realize no one else is upset about it.

Business (now called the Enterprise) means working together, or it's opposite: not working together.

Most of my working life has been spent in companies that could not work together. And did not realize this. As a result, I have wasted my life (I am now 83) This is something worth getting upset about!

Optimizing Yourself: Neurodiversity in Tech

How this link popped into my life, I do not know. But it did, and once it was looking at me, on the screen of my laptop, I could not ignore it. Soon Death-inducing signaling complex was occupying another tab on my screen. What this is saying I do not know. It is way over my head. But it is grabbing something in my gut.

This is continued here, in an excellent discussion of where Software is going. 

Technology that is Bossing us Around

And we are not talking back to it. Because it keeps telling us "I am only giving you what you want!"

Is it lying to us?

Yes, but in a clever way. We have been trained like we train a puppy to not pee on the floor. Our Computers are telling us  "This is what other people are interested in." Without telling us who these other people are, or why we should be like them.

The Social Media is speaking to us, and we are listening and obeying. like well-traned puppies.

This is called Machine Learning, and we have become Machines.

My Low Energy State

The solution for this is simple, most people think - get more energy!

There are plenty of things that can do this - a large variety of drugs, for example. Although a change in mental state is often recommended. Falling in love, for example.

Or if you cannot do that, having sex may work just as well. Because having sex, if successful, means accepting all of a person, including his (or her) position in life.

But for many people, this is impossible because what they are, deep down, is not acceptable.

The simplest solution is just accepting your low energy state. This won't kill you, and might even make you feel better!

Breasts in Men

Both men and women have breasts, but for men, they do not amount to much.

Men have them by accident since we all started off as one cell (a fertilized egg) that became either a male or a female.

If we became a female, our breasts became the center of attention for men and women. And they produce milk (and plenty of it) for the newborn.

Who made the amazing transition from life inside our mothers to life outside her.

Alexander the Great (and his men) made this transition themselves. But were killed by a tiny microorganism.

Not too bright

That's me, and I know it.

This makes me different from Most People, that do not know it.

Where do I go from here? That depends on you, you lucky reader, who have somehow discovered my writing, that is somewhat unusual. What will you make of it?

For Most People, the answer is easy. Nothing at all.

If the world suddenly ended, you might say "Huh?" Or you might not.

The Mormons were as Crazy as they Could Be

All you have to do is look at the timing of their uprising (just before the Civil War). That destroyed Civil Rights for 100 years.

This fall of Mormonism was easiest to see in the RLDS church, which destroyed itself rapidly, beginning in the 1950s. This decline was amazing, but invisible to those in this church. It even changed its name to the Community of Christ.

This huge change was accepted by everyone in my extended family (except myself).

Not Having Children

My wife and I both felt strongly about this: No Kids! We both had an unhappy childhood, and we didn't want to make more of them.

We both had Mormon backgrounds (the RLDS church) and much of our misery was due to that. But at least we felt our misery, most Mormons do not.

The Dysfunctional  Family appeared, to our utter amazement. With its many varieties of Sexual Abuse.
