Nonsense, What the Hell, Pedophilia, Sprinkling my Privilege

"Talking nonsense is the sole privilege humanity possesses over the other organisms. It's by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! I talk nonsense; therefore, I'm human."
— Fyodor Dostoevsky 

Good morning, how are you? I’m fine, thank you for asking, May 27th, 2022, let’s make it a great day. As you may be aware, yesterday was my birthday and man, let me tell you it was a good one. I got messages on my phone, emails, social media well wishes, and old and new friends went out of their way to make me feel special. Thank you to every human that did and did not send me a note; I love you all. And a unique think you to Scott Quirk for putting my name on the infamous Tom Cherry sign and Adrian for having her entire kindergarten class sing me Happy Birthday.

But that was yesterday; today is a new day; let’s see what’s happening in this world. I just got a notification that there is an activity in my dining room. Eleven hundred eighty-seven miles from where I sit, one of our cats is milling around our dining room. Is this information I need, want, not really, but it’s a friendly reminder we have another home on top of a mountain that will house us in a couple of weeks. I’m convinced I love our homes equally; both have their benefits.

Speaking of cats, Joleen, our guest cat, is something else. As I was working yesterday, she jumped up and laid with PVHT and began licking her head, cleaning her. It was cute; I took a video and posted it on LinkedIn. I shared that these two species can love each other, giving me hope for our humanity.

Speaking of LinkedIn, I find it interesting that I can post something, and others will say, “This is for Facebook.” I often wonder who made you the social media policy. Do you not have anything better to do with your time than review various posts on social media platforms and then share your view of what is and what is not appropriate for social media? It’s happened a couple of times; I laugh; thank you for the humor.

Some of you know I use an AI editor known as Grammarly. If you write, it’s a great tool, but I must share that there is an average of 9 errors in each paragraph I write. The first two sentences in this paragraph have two errors. Oops, three, now four; I don’t know what I would do without my AI writing assistant. Trust me, I know it’s not great, but sans Grammarly, my work would be unreadable.

My friend Joshua is staying in our carriage house. We went out to dinner last night; we visited our favorite restaurant; I had steak and Oscars Rockefeller, a delicious way to end my special day. Tomorrow we are hosting about 20 for my birthday and Bay’s birthday. Bay is finally 25; her brain is fully developed, and I can now listen to her thoughts and ideas and give them weight.  

I need to order some tacos for tomorrow; I’ll call 50, just a lite snack for our guests. I’m getting news updates as I type; the Texas shooting has some layers. We knew yesterday that an 18-year-old went into a school and killed 21 people, most of the kids. Babies, but video began popping up of the cops standing around and not doing anything. It will be interesting to know the facts as they eventually come out.

It’s a lot like COVID; when you are in it, you seem to accept specific ideas, but after it’s over, you look back and think, what the hell was that? I suspect the shooting in Texas will be one of those things we all look back and think, “what the hell?”

From my Ground News app, the US is preparing to approve an advanced long-range rocket system for Ukraine. Here’s an idea, take the money we are using for enhancing a war and use it for our citizens? Maybe take a few million and invest in the city of Chicago and figure out why they keep shooting each other? Maybe take a few million and invest in the homeless plight facing most significant cities? Make sure your grass is cut before you mow your neighbor’s yard.

Southern Baptist leaders release the secret accuser abuser list. Is it just me, or do kids get diddled when you get a lot of people following an ideology? The Catholic Church has a history; now, the Southern Baptist has an issue. What about people congregating on various days leads them to want to ruin the lives of children? I do not understand pedophilia, I’m sure it’s a mental issue, but of all the things to like, that seems a little odd. Of all the crimes against humanity, I think that is the worst. I don’t think I have ever tackled pedophilia; it’s a mind-boggling thought that other adults want to hurt children.

Twitter shareholders sue Elon Musk for sowing confusion to drive down the price of the Twitter deal. Hey guys, from my limited understanding, Twitter’s SEC filings show that 5% or less of their users are bots. Bots mean Robots that post bullshit. But Elon is not a dummy and said I think that number is higher; if I buy this, I would like to know how many real humans use this product. It seems logical to me to want to know what one is buying.

Well, there you have it, the thoughts, ideas, logic, and critical thinking of a man, now 53 years old. You may agree, you may disagree, but this is what I think and if you like it, great, if you don’t’, tell me why. I’m open to new ideas, counterpoints, and exploration of contemporary philosophy.  According to some, I’m just sprinkling my privilege around the interwebs.
