The $250 billion initiative is a windfall for Technocrats and a step closer to Scientific Dictatorship for Americans. The Biden administration launched an initiative Thursday … Continue reading Government Data Will Pour Into Private AI Research At Scale → read more

Discovery Of Mass Graves Reinforces Need For Truth And Reconciliation
One hundred years after the Tulsa Massacre, a team of scientists has discovered the remains of 27 people believed to be murdered by the white mob that destroyed the prosperous Black neighborhood of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921. The victims were uncovered just two weeks after the discovery of a mass grave on the grounds of the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia, a boarding school where Indigenous children were forcibly sent until the late 1970s. The bodies of 215 children—some as young as three years old—have been uncovered so far. In both Tulsa and Br... read more
Venezuela Conference Another Example Of Liberal Hypocrisy
Was it conscious?

How perspective alters one's understanding of inflation
It's long been understood that the way one looks at something helps to determine one's response to it. It's like the famous example of a glass of water, filled halfway to capacity. A pessimist will say it's half empty; an optimist will say it's half full. They're both right, but their reaction - and what they do, predicated upon that reaction - may differ dramatically, based on how they see the condition of that glass carrying forward into the future (for example, possible drought or possible flood, and all their implications). The same applies to our financial situation, a... read more
