No news is good news.
Unfortunately, most of the news these days is bad news.
Only good news is usually technology and acts of compassion, caring, personal sacrifice and sometimes true heroism! 😉

This is what GameStop is selling.
– Wrestling Buddies dolls
Cute, but not really a shopping imperative and the store was deserted.
Yet, GameStop stock is still stratospheric, while tech and innovation is in the graveyard depths.
The world is upside down and inside out.
I think a day of reckoning is coming to bring us back to earthly reality. 😉

It’s great to be able to fight the old conventional ways.
But the U.S. spends more than the next top 11 countries combined on defense.
Yet, we have failed miserably at the next BIG thing in defense: hypersonic weapons!
Both China and Russia have hypersonic weapons ready to use on us.
China even claims they can use they can use their hypersonic missiles with heat seeking technology to destroy our most advanced fighter aircraft the F-35 and F-22.
Yet as recently as November, the 3rd of the U.S. Air Force’s hypersonic missile tests failed!
Now at best, the U.S. Navy is hoping to be able to perhaps deploy hypersonic weapons by 2025-2028.
In the meantime, the U.S. is vulnerable to its adversaries at a time when Russia and China are rearing their militaries for confrontations in Ukraine and Taiwan, respectively.
And that could be only the beginning, if we don’t get our military R&D together and fast.
How could this happen with all the money we spend on defense?
Eyes wide shut like Pearl Harbor and 9/11 all over again! 😉

This is definitely an amazing, exciting look into Robots in our future.
Compliments to Engineered Arts in the UK.
Gives you something big and visionary to think about over the weekend. 😉
War is coming to space.
Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica here we come.
We’ve got to protect our space! 😉

Bitcoin is a failure waiting to happen.
It is being sold as a hedge against not only inflation, but also doomsday!
However, Bitcoin is not gold which can be sold or bartered in a true doomsday scenario.
Bitcoin is a digital cryptocurrency and as such it is dependent on technology.
In a doomsday scenario, there is a great chance for the interruption for extended periods of time of our technical infrastructure whether through terrorism, war, cyber attack, or an electromagnetic pulse.
Even with Blockchain distributed ledger, there is a high probability that you will NOT be able to access or trade Bitcoin from any digital wallet if the infrastructure is severely or broadly damaged.
Your gold watch, ring, or coins will still hold value as currency, but your Bitcoins will be useless!
If you think losing your password to access Bitcoin is a problem, what happens where you can’t access the Internet.
A digital doomsday is not as far fetched as you may think and the vulnerability of Western Civilization, in particular high-tech countries like America have much at stake.
If you think Bitcoin will be your hedge again a major disruption in our way of life you are caught in the greater fool theory. 😉

A lot of us can’t wait for Walking Dead Season 11 coming in 2021!
24 more episodes of killing the crazy zombies.
Everyone’s got to hold on and survive in a world that is in full apocalypse mode.
It doesn’t take much for society to revert to biblical Sodom and Gomorrah where the wheels come completely off the proverbial bus.
We should know because aside from advances in technology and medicine, a lot of the world is well on the way there! 😉

Exciting video by Futurism on what drones can and will do.
Swarming.
Wall landings.
Acrobatics.
Drone on drone landings.
Playing catch.
Juggling.
Building a rope bridge.
These little drones are so versatile and dexterous that perhaps what they can do is only limited by our imagination.
Soon drones will do everything from caring for people’s personal needs to building our cities, fighting diseases from within our very bodies, and conducting open warfare on the battlefield and behind enemy lines.
Small and many is big and powerful! 😉
