I’m one of those people who believe we have no greater issue facing us than global climate destabilization. I’m one of those people who, when listening to others talk about what life will be like in 10 or 20 years, just shakes my head and thinks – uh, nope, won’t be like that at all. I’m a visionary. Whether that means I have foresight or illusory dreams, I’m not sure. But I’m old so I’ve seen a thing or two. I was also lucky enough to have an environmentalist 5th grade teacher who forever placed me on the course of judging the way humans treat our planet, our home, our tiny beautiful blue dot. I’ve been studying it all my life.

So when you hear about how we should all be terrified that we’re going down a dictator’s path in our politics, blah blah blah, all I can think of is – you idiots. We’re getting exactly what we’ve earned.

And to tie it into my favorite subject these days, AI, see this:
