Over the years I have read and listened to everything I could find by McKenna, and others in his circle of influence. Always thought provoking and interesting. I found my own epiphany of purpose ultimately in the Bible, but it started before that in a book called "A Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. Truth - I agree it will be rare, but we built on Truth as the foundation of all we do here at Sentinel AI Systems, and when the foundations built on sand collapse, I believe there will be a remnant that survives. The storage containers/work space idea is great. How do you manage that with cats? Does the cat go to work with you? I am going to get my dog certified as a service animal. I should have done it already, but it's something on my important to do list. Doing that should make it easier to bring him places. On the fantasy of USA collapse, I don't have much to contribute. I could argue and I do disagree, but it really doesn't matter what I think. I'm not Nostradamus and I don't have a crystal ball. All I have is a best guess, so the positive banter is preferrable today 🙂

''The storage containers/work space idea is great. How do you manage that with cats? Does the cat go to work with you?'' Sadly, when I got evicted after my injury (I couldn't take care of the space, and after COVID, the landlords were in 'vengeance' mode, legally they could not evict people even if they were behind the rent during COVID), so I found new homes for the cats, who gave me 14 years of joy, the happiest moment in my life. ''On the fantasy of USA collapse, I don't have much to contribute. I could argue and I do disagree, but it really doesn't matter what I think. I'm not Nostradamus and I don't have a crystal ball. All I have is a best guess, so the positive banter is preferrable today'' I am objective, not one of those pathological anti-Americans; U.S. will hit the point of no return by 2036, and if she doesn't fix the economy by then, will be cruising toward an implosion. ''Over the years I have read and listened to everything I could find by McKenna, and others in his circle of influence. Always thought provoking and interesting.'' Mckenna wrote only one long story, and he passed away; had he lived longer, he could have equaled or even exceeded Dostoyevsky. He started as a writer in his mid 50s. Unlike him, I intend to live far longer.
