I had to do a double take a few times on my news feed as weird things like wild fires and air plane crashes were being reported in Ontario ...... California!

And if you had also ordered the 'X-Ray Glasses' ... you'd be able to lie in bed at night and see right through your roof to keep on eye out for any falling meteorites

Yeah ... I keep imagining this one for all of humanity.

One moment, we're having our usual run of the mill day, everything is either going good or going bad, we're all worried about the economy, billionaires flying around in their private jets, some poor kid is stealing oranges from the market, you're scrolling through some social media feed ... then BAMMMM!

Either one of two things happen to you.

You either get terribly unwell and die immediately or things fall apart around you, hurricane winds, things going crazy and then you die soon after.

Or

You're online and the internet goes screwy ... things aren't working right, then in an hour, most of the internet is gone. You turn on cable tv but most of the channels are now gone. You see one or two emergency channels and they're all talking about some 'event' that happened somewhere far away. Then most tv everywhere goes down too. There are rumours everywhere of Russians have launched nuclear weapons, world war three has started, aliens have landed, Jesus has come back, Armageddon has started ... and then hurricane force winds start blowing everywhere ... things are just tossed around and you either die in the mix or you are one of the lucky ones who happen to be underground ... you won't last a few days and then you die soon after anyway.

Random Gamma Ray Burst has directly hit the planet earth ... it irradiates half the planet where it hit head on, vapourizing the atmosphere and causing violent weather changes and the radiation either immediately killing or slowly sickening every living thing until it all dies including all animals, most fish near the surface, plants and humans ... the other half of the planet didn't get hit by the radiation but now survives just a little longer as half the planet tries to equalize with the other destroyed half.

It's theorized that this is one of the probable causes of several unexplained extinction events in earth's geologic history. And if it ever happened now, we'd have no warning ... and even if we did ... we wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

In order to fail, you first have to achieve something .... and in terms of the wider universe and our planet ... humanity has only just started

Freddie: .... can I make a call from the afterlife?

Oh neat, I think I'll go over to this magAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZINNNNNNNNNNNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's always the little details that make these images impressive ... anyone can just cut and paste an object into an image and it doesn't look real

But add in details like lighting, shadows, smoke, mist, water, reflections ... and you make all those shadows and reflections plausible and at the appropriate angles ... very subtle additions and it makes it very convincing.

This is exactly how I think humanity will play out the climate crisis .... 'let's maintain the economy and wealth of a handful of people, let the majority die, let the population go down and everything will eventually equalize and normalize after millions die off'

So, if you aren't wealthy now ... you'll be dead soon

“Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.”
― George Carlin

It would be more efficient if we shrunk the power of the wealthiest individuals and made everyone fall under a wealthy limit

Why should one person own and control so much wealth when they will never realistically be able to enjoy all of that wealth during their lifetime? Especially if that one person hoarding all that wealth they'll never use is producing, creating and maintaining so much pollution for one individual.

Unless it's Sunday .... Bloody Sunday

Don't exist until they're gone ... I'm a middle child in a family of eight ... mom kept an eye on the baby and the oldest ... as long as there was six in the middle, no one really cared who they were until that number of middle children decreased.
