Bridges in Dallas

There is construction going on near the bridges in Deep Ellum. There is allot of new artwork there which I like for the most part (a Mastodon like an Elephant over a ground of skulls that looks like what you would see in a genocide exhibit of Rwanda might give a look like Republican, Elephant).

I spoke to a guy under the bridge that said he was familiar with the way things should be done. He also said things were being done in a way that shouldn’t, pointing out a bolt that had fallen to the ground, bolts that are being removed. Maybe this is a maintenance phase later on that I don’t know about where they are removing bolts from the bridge to let the concrete and metal to expand – I have degrees in Computer Engineering, not degrees in Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

Might be fine, it is likely the NSA and military hear what is on my phone so likely there is some record of the conversation – if it was a problem might be flagged. The guy was homeless but sounded plausible – keep in mind I a guy with masters in engineering am homeless too, and this guy looked a bit more on his game than me.

Whistleblowing through normal channels don’t always get turned up, this is a few weeks later.

Less money for maintenance, huge national debt, trying to protect allies might not be ideal eyes on Dallas bridges, maintenance, and infrastructure. Didn’t think too much of it until I was walking another part in the city and saw a similar bolt on the ground – might just be normal maintenance I don’t understand.

Considering I might being left under the bus for profit, I might not be the only one being left under the bus for profit…. might not ideal maintenance, respect for keep fixed long term.

Was pointing out the rust too

The intersection that it is above – above an amazing new set of art

August 15th, 2025 looks like date of that conversation.

Mastodon is hidden off a bit close to a side garden, close to this one

Some pretty epic portraits in the collection

Awful what I am hearing. I also think this problem has been greater within the tech industry for over 10 years. Telling the truth might ostracize you, whistleblower might leave you to die on the street – yet profit keeps on being funneled into the same hands.

Then we expect that will all ideal investment in Research Ethics. Even right now I am trying to provide a video on Research Ethics and it is being blocked by systemic processes.

They have been listening to all this while robbing me for years. No enforcement is no enforcement set to justice.

Who will be there to listen when you are on the street, AI or a Church that no longer has funding?

Automation and Tent Cities as the norm, 10 you don’t see all that coming?

On top of all that birds in Dallas seem to be losing their tail feathers – think 3-eyed fish from Simpsons.

Rick Rolled Support

Can a man without a gun, that isn’t actively involved still be support?

Thoughts of a cat.

Imagine you have a cat that is an awesome friend for 5 years and then you get killed by a psychopath in the middle of the night.  A cat is not a guard dog, was not trained to be a guard dog.  Killed by a psychopath does not equal your cat loved you less.  Your cat might think I could of done more but they weren’t created or designed for that, and if they had been replaced with a brutal guard dog half starved, that animal might have broken the leash and hurt someone on the friendly side versus the enemy.

“Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, 

Never gonna run around and desert you” – Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give You Up

It is the way one feels about their cat, and likely the way their cat feels about them

Support that is all talk and no money.

Support that is all money and no action.

Support that is all action an no talk.

Support that is all money and no talk.

Support that is all talk and all action.

Support that is no talk and no action.

No gun is still support is worth turning up.  Lawyer is not really one someone normally thinks of having a gun, but it is worth investing in words and not bullets can fix problems, is more than a gimmick, is more than being words and no action (like Rick Rolled Support).

The song partially inspired this so Rick Rolled Support in actuality might be more than Rick Rolled Support. 

Russia and Ukraine War, September 22nd, 2025

Russia and Ukraine War

Is Russia culling the herd?  It is a thought I have had before but I haven’t said.  Lots of aristocrats, oligarchs in Russia, but not all can be – sets the stage for glory for the less useful?

Freeze to death live a meager life vs live as hero (or at least sold as)?

Has the thought be entertained?  Could the thought save lives, bridge divides, and reduce imperialism?  The Bible says Love your enemy and blessed are the peacemakers – ideally investment would equate to a better reality for all.

Long term sanctions leads to only viable option is die in a war for land that is made under less than ideal grounds and authority?  Part of the problem is buy in – in my opinion – Russia has already attacked Ukraine, yet it would look bad to citizens who have already lost many to say attacking Ukraine is not all wise going forward.  The is momentum and we need de-acceleration – ideally as an abrupt stop.

Could I have it all wrong?  Yes.  Have I seen it solved via status quo?  No.

Could be my friend won’t let me B, September 22nd, 2025

Could be my friend won’t let me B

The word is be, can’t blame people for thinking that is what I meant.  If B is Ban, Beat, Bunt, Bend to my will, B represents punishment.

Imagine you want a career in FieldA and you are not seeing sufficient gains.  Should you hang around with more people from FieldB, FieldC, or FieldA?  Keeping me out of FieldA might be punishment, might be B-ing me – them in FieldA, when they are not all A, not all invested?

Its an awful combination of thoughts which might leave the person in pursuit of FieldA disenfranchised from FieldA, FieldB, and FieldC.  Have to meet quota is not all pretty.

I am a person.  I am a person that believes in the Golden Rule.  I am a person that has career ambitions.  I am a person that does not like their time wasted.  I am a person that does not like time devalued – as it is problematic on a more systematic level – systemic injustice plus wasted time is common set to animals not souls.

All that said I want people from different fields, from different value sets, from different perspectives, from less than ideal upbringings as part of my life.  I can’t say I always represent, I might play to a crowd to try and get a job, get support, actually be able to pursue my dreams.  It would be ideal to be acutely honest yet in combination with capitalist society sales and inclusion I might not see as all good.

They want me as their friend but won’t let me B?  I can’t spank them?  Spanking does kind of take a sexual form.  Could also be useful – tell them what they got wrong so they win the game next time – though who am I really to tell them and if I get it right or if I get it wrong…. It’s B.

H is you may A it, tread lightly?

Who am I to punish them, tell them they are wrong?

Who are they to punish me, tell me I am wrong?

Decided to clean out all injustice before telling each other they were wrong, might not have been wrong if cleaned out all injustice in the first place?

In-ed is man-ed, man-ed shouldn’t be confused with God-ed

I want everyone as my friend, per Golden Rule and Love your Enemy I want my enemies to be my friends, have their hearts changed, F I A that, on the plus side having 8 billion people sitting in the same room might not meet fire codes

Resource Cost Experiment, September 22nd, 2025

Resource Cost Experiment 

Resource cost as higher.  Imagine each day you have access to 2 pieces of bread.  Imagine you then have access to 0.5 pieces (1/2) piece of bread each day.

Thoughts are on how to maximize efficiency and meet a budget.  The bread is now more costly to lose.  If one loses a loaf they lose 4x as many days of 0.5 bread as when they had 2 pieces of bread a day.  The value of bread had gone up – potentially due to the price of bread rising, or potentially due to lower wages, lower capacity to purchase.  Loss is also more costly, losing 0.5 bread each more costly than losing 0.5 bread when have 2 slices of bread each day.

Imagine the rich in society increase the cost of bread and simultaneously lower wages and reduce workforces.  There is likely a number at which historians and potentially religious authorities (Churches and Temples, those familiar with history) where this will become a liability for the rich.  The idea is to increase profit, available resources not to generate the conditions for the next French Revolution.

Now is this thought experiment zero cost, inconsequential to the rich?  Speaking about the problem facilitates the problem at times – if you talk about a depression and recession, will people save more and demand less?  The capacity for the rich to charge is devalued – less power is less valuable – a battery with 25% power or a battery with 100% power.  This is potentially why concessions are made for some, outliers or exceptions to the rule. Thoughts of the HBO Show Rome and Caesar talking about making a personal offer.  If the right people are included in the profit (a subset of everyone that needs) then no big deal to increase costs and lower buying capacity?

My thoughts are about economics in a system that gets harder and harder – inflation and less jobs higher unemployment.  Less to go around might equate to reduced supply and greater demand.  Less to go around is not all more appreciation for a generous God, a God that is greater than 0 sum, a God that can fix things quickly, quickly in a way that makes fellow citizens in society A fee less, run closer to the grey margin as a way to make ends meet.  Said another way reduced throughput has potential to lead to reduced throughput.

Thus lower prices, giving people more grace and ways to see better days has high potential for carry through that is valuable.  The future of past 2000 at least in to 2025 is a future of automation that is IBD In By Design and relevant.  Has the Church lead the charge on making sure people still feel included in society and haven’t been left as unvalued on the side of the street, homeless and destitute 2000-2025?  Church out might have been worse and homeless tent cities across the nation is more than concerning – might and likely has had potential to reach past critical levels in non ideal ways with society.  

That said if I had to bet on The Church will continue reinvesting in the same profit based system that funnels money and power into the hands of a few or will actually enable a future with less homeless combined with the increases in automation (Think Detroit and Auto-manufacturing) now turned up further by AI then I would probably be on status quo will be continued in non-ideal ways.  Change is hard, change is less comfortable, change doesn’t always make ends meet – yet change is coming, IBD in by design, and will arrive sooner for some than others.  Gives feeling of what gives God in practice – if one believes in a God capable of miracles, a God that is greater than a zero sum bullshit engine.

If the Church taught everyone math less, the congregation might have less capacity to max profit and leave each other with less.  Yet not teaching math might equate to a slower, more inadequate military, which means weaker, potentially tastier to the next hell bent imperialist regime (easy target for Nazis as short hand).  God says do right by each other, invest in Golden Rule and love to one another (love your neighbor) – yet in practice it might leave math teachers thinking, should I have taught them that?

Sure the things I have talked about here don’t factor into the violence in the World? Claim the Church has A-ed it?

Speed of up factors into reduced liability while money sits in bank accounts, really so hard to comprehend?

War and Finance

Imagine we live in a life where both finance and wars matter.

It is the truth, it is unlikely to be set to the truth.

I am not Israeli, I am not Jewish, I am not from Gaza.  Imagine I am Israeli and have an apartment I am leasing to someone in Gaza.

I don’t want my family taken an left to rot under tunnels so I agree with the war.

I am also a business man, I want to be able to continue renting, provide customer service, do right by people in my country.

Wars factor into who gets paid and who does.  Wars factor into who has the money to pay invoices and who does not.
