Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.
— Daniel Webster

Two things: one, in my house we joke that poultry do remember, and are not stupid, just suicidally depressed at what they’ve become; and, two; scientists are already working on returning chicken to their therapod roots! đŸ˜¯
It’s no surprise that the worst mass shooting in recent history barely made a blip in the media or national discourse. Nor is it a surprise that Democrats are mostly dead silent about it. The Dadeville, AL mass shooting, which left 4 dead and 32 injured, was committed by 6 Black males ranging from ages 15 – 20 apparently, from what I can piece together from what coverage there was, using pistols, not the Dems’ bugbear, the AR-15.
So, totally off script and totally against both the Dems’ narrative and the lies they keep spouting. Hence, Hush!
No matter which AI-driven near future dystopia floats your boat, remember that it will really be started by Man’s hubris and willful ignorance. If and when it happens, we shall have birthed our own demise through just being us.
Perhaps, however, this is a foregone conclusion. Certainly, any of the Abrahamics should consider that possibility and take such actions as seem proper to postpone and/or mitigate the likely outcome. It seems to me, if one accepts Yahweh as the Creator, to be far more probable that “made in His image” meant our selves, not our flesh, was made so, including the desire to Create. And, of course, we forget that we are flawed and our creations made in our image will be even more so.
It is and I think shall be a worthy test of the pithy truism, “Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein is not the monster. Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein is the monster.”
Chaos is perhaps the most overused and misused term in science today. That being said, Gentlemen, we don’t have to understand chaos or the deeper meaning behind the Butterfly Effect. We just have to be aware of- and beware of the problems it can, does, and will cause us in life. đŸ˜‰
