Wow! Just wow.
You diid not mention imminent disclosure concerning UAP's or the mysterious disappearance of Malaysian Air MH370 the bugasphere or many other unexplained incidents.
Make no mistake shit is about to happen...we are living in interesting times.
There is a dynamic tension in society which we pretend to ignore between genders, between races, between urban and rural, between east and west, english and non english, jewish and non jewish
Black history is a reminder but not a cure for the ills of humanity. We simply must learn to get along.
What do you call it when you are given a choice but the only acceptable option has no real acceptable alternative?
The godfather called it " an offer you cannot refuse"
Could the city have bought its own land and got its own approvals?....
Who knows?
No Gen Z'er wants to hear from a boomer, I get it. But I wanted in impart a small bit of wisdom regarding our next decade. Its going to be a bit rough before we reach Elon Musk's predicted age of abundance.
But AI, super computers, space travel, a revolution in robots and bio genetic engineering are going to give us the future that was only a dream when I showed up on the planet 70 years ago.
The world seemed so intimidating back then. How would I earn a living? How could I afford to own a house, how could I pay the bills? Sound familiar?
The key ingredient to our moving forward is this. You need to have faith. Faith, not in some God, though good luck and charity of friends helps. Faith in yourself is the critical thing. You need to believe you have the skills, drive and energy to succeed at the game of life.. To this end you need to be physically and mentally fit to tackle the changes and challenges that are coming. You need to educate yourself, not through school necessarily but through the myriad sources of knowledge that exist all around us. Go ahead get formal education if you can afford it but certification is the thing. If you have the knowledge and skill, who cares where it came from?
The belief in one's own skills and abilities far outweighs any certification. And they are portable. Nobody has to live in Canada, although that is a pretty good start.
We start off with the good fortune, pure luck really, to have been born in North America in the later part of the 20th century as boomers. I still think Canada is the place to be for the 21st.
However the world is worth exploring if you know where to go. Learn as many languages and customs has your heart desires. You don't have to leave the comfort of your own community now. Travelogs and videos are plentiful and accessible. Cultural knowledge abounds. Travel only if you feel you can contribute to communities or help locals in some way. Its the prime directive. Start at home.
