And HOW Did Al Gore Miss This?
Nobody Gets Email
How about this? Is this not incredible or what? Make your trash into oil to run your MAD MAX machine. Never have to worry about the coming apocalypse! I want one.
And WHY is it not being done by our trash collectors? How come I haven’t seen Brad Pitt promoting this? What a great place to put all those plastic bags.
Imagine how much money the oil companies would lose if people starting buying these….which is why this great invention will probably never reach the masses.
But..great idea.

The Biggest Fear for Humanity is NOW A.I. Who Knew?
Nobody Wonders…
Prince Charles has another problem on his hand: A vast number of elite and VERY rich people are claiming that the real danger of the world will not be global warming…it will be…
MACHINES! A.I.
Artificial intelligence has the potential to make lives easier by understanding human desires or driving people’s cars, but if it were uncontrolled, the technology could pose a serious threat to society. Now, Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk and dozens of other top scientists and technology leaders have signed a letter warning of the potential dangers of developing artificial intelligence (AI).
Nobody Wonders...so…let’s get this straight: Robots could pose a worse threat to humanity than the usual earth destroyers….politicians? Or…are they afraid that the governments will make Bill Gates develop an A.I that could literally wipe out whole cities and populations?
Hasn’t that been the subjects of movies made in the last twenty years?
Last October, told an audience at MIT that AI is humanity’s “biggest existential threat.” Earlier in 2014, Musk, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and actor Ashton Kutcher jointly invested $40 million in Vicarious PFC, an AI company that is working to create an artificial brain. The co-founders of Vicarious, Dileep George and Scott Phoenix, were also among those who signed the open letter.
Okay. So they all signed this letter saying that it’s the biggest threat to humanity, and then grabbed their checkbooks and put millions into developing the very thing they fear the most?
What’s going on?
Others who signed the letter include Peter Norvig, director of research at Google; Martin Rees, professor emeritus of cosmology and astrophysics at the University of Cambridge; Vernor Vinge, professor emeritus of computer science at San Diego State University; Frank Wilczek, Nobel laureate and physics professor at MIT; and many others
Nobody Wonders: What have all these guys been hiding, that they are not telling us about? The nobodies out in nobody land, living paycheck to paycheck, would just unplug the machine. In the real world, we don’t see any danger at all….except the teenager who feels having to drive his car is interfering with the more important job of texting.
If anything, all this technology is just dumbing us all down. Chinese students are not even learning how to read Chinese anymore they text so much.
And I quote from a most famous source that I’m sure ALL of them have read:
But with the development of industry the proletariat not only increases in number: it becomes concentrated in greater masses it strength grows, and it feels that strength more. The various interests and conditions of life within the ranks of the proletariat are more and more equalized, in proportion as machinery obliterates all distinctions of labor, and nearly everywhere reduces wages to the same low level The growing competition among the bourgeois, and the resulting commercial crises, make the wages of the workers ever more fluctuating. Te unceasing improvement of machinery, ever more rapidly developing, makes their livelihood more and more precarious.—Communist Manifesto
To the lower proletariat, machines pose no more a threat than Al Gore’s prediction that earth was going to die in a few years. We are more worried about how to survive the tyranny of men.
To a nobody, the biggest threat to humanity, is, and always has been…men in power.
If you really believe A.I. is the most dangerous threat to humanity, then don’t build it.
Pretty simple. But, Nobody Wonders what the real reason is behind all this fear..
I bet…it’s all about money and power.
It always is.
What if NASA was like the National Weather Service?
Nobody Flashes
Yesterday, the National Weather Service shut down all of the Eastern Seaboard. Trains, planes, roads,…millions were told to stock up on food, and stay home and prepare for the worse storm of the century. 
So they did.
Today, they admitted, that “Hey, so what if it only snowed 4 inches! We kept you all safe!”
Meanwhile, millions of people living paycheck to paycheck will be missing a few days pay next month because of the National Weather Services big mistake. Scientists didn’t bother to look out their back door.
BUT…
What if NASA made such a big mistake?
What if NASA said, “Hey, there’s n heading towards earth the size of a mountain but don’t worry, it will miss us.” ?
And what if, NASA got that prediction right?
Which they did:
The space rock, code-named 2004 BL86, is expected to reach a point about 745,000 miles from our planet, or three times the distance to the Moon. Latest estimates suggest that AN10, which is 0.6 miles across, could approach as close as 19,000 miles.
But…what IF, like the National Weather Service, NASA got it ……….
I’m just saying.

After Spending Billions, Scientists State the Obvious…
Nobody Cares
Tell me that they didn’t already know this:
Plain old bad luck plays a major role in determining who gets cancer and who does not, according to researchers who found that two-thirds of cancer incidence of various types can be blamed on random mutations and not heredity or risky habits like smoking.
The researchers said on Thursday random DNA mutations accumulating in various parts of the body during ordinary cell division are the prime culprits behind many cancer types.
It’s amazing isn’t it? The truth appears before our eyes day after day, and yet, someone somewhere spends billions on research to verify what they already know to be true…in other words, DNA is fact. If your mother had breast cancer, odds are, you might get it too.
Every time you go to the doctor’s office you have to give your family’s medical history…and why is that? Because they ALREADY know this.
So here’s the question: If genetics is two-thirds of the reason you might get your parents disease, can we also conclude that you will also get other things from your parents like the proclivity to love to climb trees or play basketball, or have a higher IQ?
The Bell Curve authors were blasted out of the scientific community for saying that the Jews had the highest IQ’s of the human race, god forbid the facts should also support that. It’s not to say that some races are smarter than others, because, as Thomas Sowell has pointed out, in evolutionary sense of the world, geography has played a major part in the development of the different races, but if the proclivity to be 7’6″ tall, gives you an advantage to be on the winning NBA teams, then doesn’t the proclivity to be able to figure out schematics in your brain without a computer also come from some genetic DNA?
Of course it does.
Strokes run in my family, so when my doctor tells me I should be concerned about my heart, I always tell them right up front: “Doc, I will either die of a stroke or pneumonia, and if you want my heart, go ahead and take it….just be sure you don’t give it to a politician, genetically speaking. because–trust me–if given to a politician like Hillary Clinton. it would immediately stop beating.
And someday some scientist will tell you why.
Moon Eclipse Coming Tonight: Don’t Even Bother to Tell Your Teenager
Nobody Flashes
I know I am suppose to get excited by moon eclipse, but I also know, that most people in the world, find it…just so boring.
Yes, I think it’s safe to say that only one percent of the population is getting excited by the fact that tomorrow morning, there will be a selenelion:
Tomorrow morning almost everyone on the east coast in the Americas, eastern Asia, the Pacific Islands, and Australia will get the rare opportunity to see a special type of lunar eclipse called a selenelion, or horizontal, lunar eclipse.
A selenelion only occurs when a lunar eclipse happens around the same time as sunrise. Because of its timing, observers have the chance to see both an eclipsed moon-set and sunrise simultaneously.
How do I know this? Because I remember years ago, I tried to get a handful of teenagers really excited about a full moon eclipse. It was a Saturday night, and many of them were hanging out in my house, as they tended to do on summer nights as my teenage son, loved to have them all gather at my house, and I keep telling them all that the event that was about to happen was pretty exciting.
You can imagine my surprise, as I watched the earth darken, the eerie shadow cast upon the earth, the almost surreal feel of the earth being engulfed upon a once in a lifetime event, as if the very cells in my body had oozed darkness inside my own warbled brain…and the teenagers around me said “Oh cool.” and went back to partying and telling jokes, and flirting with their girlfriends, the girlfriends laughing at their silly banter, not even looking up…and I remember shouting at them all…
“HEY! Don’t you realized how RARE it is to see a full moon eclipse?”
And one of the girls said “really?” as if I had made the whole thing up, and went back to looking at her nails. They were actually bothered by the fact that it got too dark and they had to WAIT till it was over.
Good god.
So, if you are one of the few who even try to witness (or can) this rare event coming up in just a few hours…
Consider yourself one of the few remaining people on the planet who do.
I —-will probably be asleep.
Nobody Wants a Hovercraft
Nobody Flashes
Here’s a Hovercraft made by some guy for his kids using a vacuum that the kid can control.
Now, tell me, why is the world are our scientists not developing hovercraft cars?
Is it really all about oil? Is it really all about the power and the money?
Of course it is.
Star Gazing Should be Shared
Nobody Flashes
The other day at my local pool, the mother of a boy who used to hang out quite a lot with my son, was telling a story to a group of women…
“And THEN he told me that when he spent the night, they stayed up until THREE IN THE MORNING watching fallen stars on her ROOF!”
Okay. Call me bad. I saw nothing wrong with taking a few blankets, some snacks, and two 8-year-olds up on a roof to watch a meteor shower. We had a blast, between the three of us we counted over 200 sightings. But it still bugs that poor woman to this day. Imagine if some meteor had fallen on my house! I mean, it’s not as if I wasn’t making sure they didn’t ‘fall’ off.
Does she think I did that for the kids? HA! No, she knew me all too well. I wanted some company. Besides, everyone should do that at least once in life, and kids never forget it either.
I only wish I had a group of 8-year-olds this weekend to join me in sky watching…I don’t. But, that shouldn’t stop YOU!
Are you Right Brain, Left Brian, or In Harry Reid’s Case…No Brain?

I seem to be more right-brained–according to this video…how about you?
I also think the brain is much more complex than this simple test, but it’s fun.
Sorry Folks, Our Brains Are Shrinking
Nobody Reads
The scientists can’t explain it, and they don’t talk about it much, but our brains are getting smaller.
EVERYBODY’s—-All over the world.
Yes, compared to the Homo Sapiens, our brains are puny. There are as many theories about this as scientist so—- here are the most popular:
- Men who had more muscle needed bigger brains. They also had to ‘think’ a lot more, because simply surviving was really hard. (Nobody adds, they also have larger brains than women. Sorry girls)
-
Because our brains are getting smaller, we are actually, stupider.
-
When animals are domesticated, their brains also shrink. Therefore, because man became domesticated, his brain also, shrunk.
-
One scientist, (obviously a progressive) said :”NO! we are actually getting smarter because our brains are more compact!”
-
Since the brain gobbles up 20 percent of the calories we eat, a larger brains needs more meat. Sitting around at the computer all day requires very little energy. We should present this to Congress to support the fact, that we all need MORE protein…not less. (And my other mind remembers what my husband always says when I say this, which I can’t repeat here.)
And by the way, some scientists think the REASON the brain grew so large is because man went from eating berries to eating MEAT.
Am I getting the point across here?
BUT…in the end, studies show that the bigger the brain the higher the IQ. Brain volume really does correlate with intelligence, which is why I plan to adopt an elephant when I win the lottery.
And on that note, I’d like to see the brain of the guy who conned the European Union out of billions of dollars in order to build the first human brain. Henry Markran says he is going to need even MORE money, and I believe him!..His brain is working well.
As for the rest of us? What do you think? Are we all dumber now? If we look at our leaders, I think the answer is obvious, don’t you?
There is one good thing that I got from this information: If you doctor wants you to go on a diet , you can now say…
“But doc! I HAVE to eat a lot to keep my big heavy brain in top shape!”
Michelle Obama will just have to deal with it.

Scientists Go for the “cool” Factor
Nobody Flashes
I have a friend who thinks this is just the coolest thing he’s ever seen, and what’s funny, is that today I was watching a program on the History Channel–and some geneticist scientist, who was splicing different genes from different species to make more or less monsters, said, she just thought it was so ‘cool.’ that she could do that.
Have we come to the point in science that we do stuff just because we can, and it’s cool?
For instance, would you buy this car?
Sure, the way the door go under the car is cool: But is it practical? Picture that car pulling up to the castle in a heavy downpour. The rain would BLAST into the car, getting the seats, the floor, the dashboard, not to mention everybody sitting in it, soaking wet. When getting out of a car now, only a small space is exposed to the outside and you can hop out in a flash, shut the door quickly, and be off.
But: More importantly, what if you are in a car accident? Your door is jammed. It won’t go down. It won’t go up. You can’t get out. The gas tank explodes.
You’ll more than likely: burn up.
And yet, obviously whomever put the money into making this car thought it was ‘cool’ regardless of its setbacks. And someday, when hybrid humans are walking the planet, and we have members of the species who are abominations to nature, will we all look back and say:
“Look! He has gills! That’s just so cool!”

12-year-old Inventor: Peyton Robertson
Nobody Gets Email
I promised uplifting stories on the weekend, and this one is great. 12- year-old Peyton Robertson has a very practical invention and it just goes to show, that while there may be many high IQ’s out there, it’s the extra human spirit of imagination and spirit that makes some stand out from the rest. And Peyton is a real joy to watch.
Hopefully Peyton’s parents can help him get this idea on the market.
Enjoy!
