Everyones worldview is shaped by what we were exposed to during our formidable years AND what we learned in the course of our education, thought I'd mention this because,...

The unfortunate truth is AI isn't going to cure dim witted human nature; Biden AND Trump are not very good for the country AND voters at large are very short sighted,... fact is unless big change happens various trends tell me things won't end well because "political leadership and the vast majority of voters, nowadays do not have a sense of historical context so people do not have the ability to think in terms of old school deep thoughts"

The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh."
-Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural address (Saturday, March 4, 1865)
