—REVENGE— A little girl was making faces at a bulldog. Her mother reprimanded her. "Well, he started it, “ said the girl. No doubt the girl was right, for it is no trouble for a bulldog to look ugly. The weakness was in the girl's conclusion drawn from the dog's face. The dog was probably innocent, but if not, the girl gained nothing by competing with him in making faces. The person who proceeds on the theory that he must return every ugly face he sees, or every ugly act which is directed toward him, will have a never-ending and profitless job. Hate has injurious effects on the person who resents, so that he is the chief sufferer. —Telescope.

It should be a federal law that if you’re on Social Security, at that age or disabled, your ad valorem tax should be suspended until you pass away.

—CRITICISM— Of course, there are some folks who do not seem to be able to cooperate. Their long suit is criticism—destructive and not constructive criticism, at that. To such I would quote the words of Edmund Burke: “Applaud us when we run, console us when we fall, cheer us when we recover, but for God's sake, let us pass on!" —unknown

The singularity in AI/SI is when we no longer control its advance. The event horizon. The point of no return.

—Dead Leaves—

—DEAD LEAVES— You will find it less easy to uproot faults, than to choke them by gaining virtues. Do not think of your faults; still less of others' faults; in every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong: honor that; rejoice in it; and, as you can, try to imitate it; and your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes. —Ruskin.

Don’t be a rascal…

—RID THE WORLD OF A RASCAL— Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure that there is one rascal less in the world. —Carlyle. 🤣🤣🤣
