Current Motivations
What motivates you? My Current Motivations I’m motivated by the challenge of trying to help insure an equitable, safe, and fulfilling future (rather than the dystopian one, pushed by our current leaders and owners) for our children and their descendants.

Memoir Addendum – Current Insights

It certainly leads to the conclusion that there is no such thing as ‘free will’, just…

Talk About Alternate Universes
Describe your life in an alternate universe. Either we or our ‘owners’ are already living in ‘alternate universes’. It’s definitely not the same universe for the ruling class and the ‘masses’ (us).
