I've been thinking about the idea of requiring data centers to produce their own energy. I think this lowers the cost of maintaining the grid. But with more power plants you also increase the use of water to cool the data center and the power plant.

It seems creators could charge a rate for performing in person, and another rate for licensing their likeness. They could be in multiple features being produced simultaneously without having to physically show up to all of them.
Dr. Dre Says He’s ‘Extremely Excited’ About People Using AI to Create Music “I'm extremely excited about AI. I love it. I love the potential of it … This is just a whole new level of creativity that we have to get used to, or you're gonna be left behind.”

Berlin. They speak Arabic, not German. They call for an Intifada. They did not come to Europe to work and integrate, but rather to bring holy war here. This has been the case for three years—every single day. They have no place in Europe. They must be driven out.

There has to be an opposite to a phobia, which is an irrational fear. There have to be instances in which there is a prudent fear of something. For instance, it makes sense to be wary of fire, but not irrationally so. Pyro-phobo-phronesis?

The word would not be, for example, arachnosophia, which is more of a scientific wisdom about spiders. Arachnophronesis seems the better option, which is practical, lived wisdom about spiders. Except, instead of spiders, substitute the fear (phobos) of choice.

But, I think there should be some criteria and term for determining a rational versus irrational fear, and thus a word to distinguish it. The focus in terms is on the abnormal, leaving the normal undefined.

I'm thinking there is no term for a prudent fear as it's just normal. I recall that psychology is mostly about disorders, so there would be no need for a diagnostic term for a non-diagnosis.

I think I'm going to mix some cinnamon tea amongst the Earl Grey for the occasional surprise.

I've been deliberating on posting about dementia and caregiving. I'm no expert. But, I'm experiencing a new role that I know others are also experiencing. It's not a topic that I ever imagined would motivate me to create content.
