You know I’ve been trying to figure out why people are so eager to accept lies from others. The number one person is of course Trump but he’s not the only one. Now it seems people are jumping to accept Artificial Intelligence as well. The late Steven Hawkins said before his death that AI is the biggest threat mankind faces. He was considered to be the smartest man in the world at the time. I made a comment on politicians and posted it everywhere. “I always thought that politicians serve at the will of the people, but I guess we’ve lost our will.” that pretty much describes my thoughts on the rapid acceptance of AI. If you’re an avid reader of fiction, such as Jules Verne, you know it can become nonfiction overnight. In the late ’70s, or early 80’s I’m not sure when Bell, Labs in Whippany NJ Invented a chip that could learn from its mistakes. This of course is similar to what happened at the beginning of the Terminator story. There were other movies going back to the 60’s such as Colossus, War Games, etc they all say once we put AI in charge and it learns to think it will discover that this planet’s greatest enemy is Humankind. Artificial intelligence’s biggest drawback is it’s not human it thinks only in Black and White without empathy. Now this doesn’t help explain why people are willing to believe that AI is the greatest and that Trump is always telling the truth. Somewhere along the line liberty and the ability to think independently have become uncool. There are millions of people out there embracing the idea of a future similar to the Hand Maids Tale or Orwell’s 1984. if you haven’t read either of these books I suggest you do so you won’t be that surprised when you start to lose your free will.

When I say we might have a little problem here I might be understating the problem. I’m referring to the 2024 election and a possible Trump vs. Biden rematch. I think it could be a distinct possibility that we could have two candidates wearing depends and trying to remember their names. Trump is already showing signs of possible dementia and I’m pretty sure Biden won’t be far behind. I’m 77 and I can tell you there is no way I can think as fast as I could when I was 50. so what does this say for the country? One, we have grown bored with our leaders, Two we are getting dumber as a population, or three we screwed up and this is our punishment. All three are possible, which is an even bigger problem for us. This keeps me up at night, am I really just seeing this, or has it been here all the time and I was too dumb to recognize it. Look at Florida for a moment growing up it was always thought of as a retirement home for old JEWS. Now it resembles a boot camp for Nazis and other extreme groups of bigots.How did that happen? Was Mickey a closet Nazi or did he just start boozing and didn’t give a shit. How does shit like this happen? Have we grown so complacent that we are willing to let the past repeat itself or do we not give a shit anymore and just care about are tee times and what games are going to be on TV this weekend? Our complacency has allowed for everything to be politicized. Look, I get tired of writing about our faults just like people get tired of hearing about them. I need a break so I’m going to watch a little football today and start complaining again tomorrow. This is FATS and LUCY saying CIAO from Medellin Colombia.

In the USA it’s fall down here it’s just another 90-degree day. We should be in the rainy season but somebody forgot to turn the rain on. It’s very tropical now, hot. Humid and no rain. I see it’s very hot in America and I will tell you from experience that this is not the weather you want to play football in. You can do serious damage to your body and brain and not realize it until years later. Players can lose over ten pounds in a game and that may seem great to some people but it puts a terrible strain on the body. But my real complaint with the game is all the betting sites involved in sponsoring the games. With 78.5 million people betting on football the odds against the games being completely honest are very high. There is far too much money involved in the game now and at the pro level, it takes the fun out of the game. Don’t worry I’m still going to watch games but when I can predict what’s going to happen on the next play I’ll switch to Tennis. FATS and LUCY are heading to the couch for the games saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.

My wife had a minor stroke and that was the reason for no blog last Sunday. She is OK now according to doctors. I lost a lot of info when I dropped my phone, but I recovered most of it. The weather is wet and hot not a great combination in most parts of the world. As usual, I am amazed that Trump is not in jail, but what is really amazing people are still buying into his bullshit. Trump is the very definition of insanity. That is saying or repeating an action with the expatiation of a different outcome. So let’s review. We have a Narcissus and insane man as well as a bunch of completely unqualified people running for president on the Republican side and an Old nice guy on the Democrat side. Gee makes you feel all tingly inside to be an American of voting age right now, doesn’t it? We have a bunch of people threatening civil war if they don’t get what they want we have Trump and his supporters threatening all kinds of violence to everyone that disagrees with them. Now I’m all for free speech but some of these people should be looked at and watched. I’m not saying they should be censored or arrested but I do think some deserve to be watched. I am very careful not to make too many inflammatory remarks about politicians except that I don’t think any of them are very honest and elections for the most part are about picking the lesser of two evils.
