DO NOT READ...
If you like having your feet planted firmly on the ground!
Physics often gives us a path forward if you are open to it. I find inspiration in nature. Man, woman, and child has also gone to new heights guided by metaphorical examples. Sometimes the ‘examples’ mystify, due to its wingspan-to-weight ratio, the bumblebee shouldn’t be able to fly. But the obese insect, unaware of this, flies anyhow! A joke, that comes from our once limited comprehension of aerodynamics!
Here, I am going to paraphrase the one & only Wolfman Jack’s remark when he made a slight error operating my radio station control board when he unexpectedly popped into my control room at Solid Gold 13Z in Milwaukee in the year 1985; he said, “Ya hafta ‘xcuse me, ‘cause I’m in my ‘weekend condition!’” Well, “Ya hafta ‘xcuse me, ‘cause I’m in my philosophical condition!”
Since I can remember, I have always questioned why. About what, you may ask? About Everything! I drove my Mom crazy asking every ‘why’ possible. She was patient and engaged my curiosity. She knew I was a ‘sponge’ and she offered as much of her insight that my little mind could accept.
My curiosity caused me to insert my fingers into our backyard neighbor’s electric clothes wringer, spinning away in her shed! I just had to see what would happen when my fingers went into those soft, white, sticky rubber rollers! My hand clogged it up when my thumb would not go! Pauline heard my anguish and came quickly to release my dented digits using the emergency release!
I FA’d and FO’d! (Fooled around and found out). Everyone in my family had me pegged to be either a preacher or a lawyer due to my verbosity! LOL They were close, I became a pretty successful radio announcer, (Deejay and Production Director).
Mom was so good at teaching because her mother, Grandma was a teacher, and I mean that in every possible way! Grandma even raised a teacher, Mom’s sister, Aunt Margaret became one, and that’s not all, her son Danny continued the career choice, eventually becoming a principal of his school!
With all this gene-salad coming from Mom’s side and the carpentry to engineering genes on my father’s side it’s easy to see why I am the way I am; (his father, Grandaddy was a preacher and carpenter, and my Dad repaired watches, then nailed a high-security job at Sperry Rand Corporation in the ‘Tube Division’, the highest-level tech there was in the 50’s!)
So, you can see what a trainwreck my genes are as they boil with the need for answers, and the thirst for tech. But the part of this whole ‘ball of wax’ that is me has always wanted the bigger picture. What is behind the screen? What are we missing? Is there way more than the eye can see? This has both scientific as well as spiritual overtones.
This is why I write. I engage in satire, humor, wild accusations, and occasionally facts! But through it all, I am just seeking the truths behind the ‘truths’. Elon Musk posited that we might be inside a video game. I am sure this concept rattles some to their core, but I think he could be correct! Have you heard the theory that an infinite number of monkeys banging on a keyboard could write a Shakespearian Play?
Here is a total mindblower that I just read. Take Obama’s daughters names, Sasha and Malia invert the letters, but use Sasha’s full name, Natasha: Now you have:
ailamahsatan; you are not going to believe this. How did someone even notice?!
Now remove the name ALAH from those letters: We are taking out the capital letters to illustrate. Ai Lam AH satan. Now let’s remove ALAH leaving I am Satan! Did he do that on purpose, or is this a cosmic joke?
Here is a video to demonstrate.
*Note you must pull the 3rd ‘A’ to keep perfect order.
Or are we in a video game? We all worry that AI (artificial intelligence) could become sentient. Just look at the progress we have made from a square ‘ball’ video game called ‘Pong’ to the heart stopping games using alternate reality headsets, in a meager 53 years!
Pong arrived when these songs were hits!
Thanks to Top40weekly.com for this convenient chart of songs from November 1972!
What does this prove? Just try to imagine with AI now able to write games in hours that took our best coders years to make, just how real can a video game get? You may say that’s not possible even in a hundred years! But is it possible in 10,000? Could we be a nostalgic nod to ancient history by a human or even machine-based civilization from so far in (what we call) our future that they can create infinite realities?
This does not remove God from the equation, it just makes the scope much bigger. And for those that do not believe in God, you my friend always have one, when you ask enough questions.
But “Ya hafta ‘xcuse me, ‘cause I’m in my philosophical condition.”





I will. I wasn't sure how this 'detour' would be received. There is so much directed-belief going on these days, and very little wiggle-room. I just like to flex my breadth of awareness once in a blue moon.
Huh? You had me until Neil Degrasse Tyson.
