A Verdict That Could Change The World | Filosofa’s Word

Today could be a very significant day in the U.S. Supreme Court … the future of the U.S. could depend on whether the Court decides to actually uphold the Constitution or not.  Toss a coin … given today’s Court, I have little-to-no-confidence, but hopefully I will be proven wrong and have to eat crow.  Our good friend Gronda puts it all in perspective for us … and even has some ‘toons!  Thank you, Gronda, for all that you do to help us understand the complexities!

विडंबना / Irony  – Kaushal Kishore

 

वह तो दर्द भी 

सुनाते हैं 

लेकर चटखारे

अपनी कामयाबी की तरह,

जबकि उन्हें पता है 

वह दर्द मेरा है…

😣😣😣

She describes 

her agony, 

relishing it as if 

it were her triumph, 

all the while aware 

the suffering is mine…

Wireless Brain Chip? 🧠 Huh??? | From Behind the Pen

Would you be willing to sign up to participate in a study to have your brain implanted with a chip so that you can keep up with artificial intelligence and communicate with your smart devices? Sounds like one of those SyFy movies gone very wrong or something from the Matrix series? Well, when I heard about this I asked that haunting question, “Why?”

It’s unfathomable to think that I can make my brain simply look at my phone and make it dial a number to contact someone. Or to make my brain talk to my TV just to change to a different channel? And, what if I change or upgrade a smart device, will I need to be implanted with an updated chip to communicate with my security system or my keyless vehicle? AND, what safety and security guarantees would I have if someone tried to hack into my brain chip?

Can you say spooky, and just leave well enough alone boys and girls? People are already operating dysfunctionally without a brain chip. Can you imagine if these individuals who are implanted with this brain chip, suddenly malfunction and go berserk in a crowd at an amusement park, football stadium, or concert venue? Scary? Well, maybe not for you but it is terrifying to me, among other things people are doing, or the negligent decisions they are making without a chip.

Elon Musk’s brain-chip startup Neuralink has received approval from an independent review board to begin recruitment for the first human trial of its brain implant for paralysis patients. “The study will use a robot to surgically place a brain-computer interface (BCI) implant in a region of the brain that controls the intention to move, Neuralink said, adding that “its initial goal is to enable people to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone.”

Implanting brain chips so the human race can keep up with artificial intelligence? Do you think it is safe or ethical to tamper with the human brain in such a way unless someone needs brain surgery for neurological challenges? I’m not on the fence about this, I’m simply standing on the sidelines saying, “Nope! Not if I can help it.”

Some industries could run on rooftop solar – Darcy Hitchcock

The researchers found that rooftop solar arrays could completely fulfill the electricity requirement of 5% to 35% of US manufacturing sectors. Further, manufacturing companies across nearly 40% of US locations could fulfill their electricity needs in the spring and summer with rooftop solar arrays.

“Grand Canyon” on Chewers & Masticadores | Dawn Pisturino’s Blog

“Grand Canyon” on Chewers & Masticadores

 ON FEBRUARY 8, 2024

(Photo by Sonaal Bangera on Unsplash)

Good morning! I’m pleased to announce that my poem, “Grand Canyon,” has been published today on Chewers & Masticadores. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Juan Re Crivello and former editor Nolcha Fox for publishing it. I hope you will take a moment out of your busy day to read it. And, if you have the chance, please come to Arizona to see this wondrous work of art yourself! Have a great day!

Grand Canyon

by Dawn Pisturino

Green ribbons of the Colorado River

Wrap gracefully around striated walls

Rising powerfully to the limitless sky.

How long did it take that mighty river

To carve this sunken canyon from primordial rock?

Mother Nature’s sculptor,

Strong and sparkling as a diamond,

Erodes away the soil one particle at a time. . .

~

Please go HERE to read the rest of the poem. Thanks!
