I am a Youtuber. I have been creating videos for almost 20 years now. I also watch a lot of videos. And lately I have been watching videos about retirement. I am at that age. There are a lot of them. And they all are variations of the same things – saving money, spending money,…

I recently had a long conversation with a gentleman who was nearing retirement. He talked a lot about having spent the last 40 years delivering milk. And he was unsure as to when he should actually retire. I wasn’t really sure what he meant by “delivering milk” so I asked him if he was the…

I keep hearing about how x amount of traffic on the internet is now all bots. The bot traffic is supposedly more than the human traffic. And I would guess that AI is exacerbating this. The trend of non human internet interactions is definitely growing. I wonder how far this will go? Will it be…

It’s a bit of a funny way to say it but reality did pivot on the signing of the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta doesn’t explicitly say this but what it recognizes is that everyone has a soul. And in the eyes of God everyone is equal. And we here on Earth need to establish…

On March 9, 1074, the reforming pontiff Gregory VII excommunicated all married Roman Catholic priests, establishing the requirement of celibacy that remains in effect today. The reason why the Pope did this is because he saw that priests were having sons and grandsons who were becoming priests. It created bloodlines of families that were amassing…
