Only those with dead Souls, ninety-nine point nine nine nine nine nine nine percent of us, can spend money on such things as Villas, or any luxuries, or none necessary items, when so many billions are in misery. If you do not hate your very life in this world you are not my disciple, Jesus said. Those who don't hate the misery of others, more than they love their own selfish desires, their souls are dead, they are not up creator. So sad. No joy in that.

Video-feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD) was originally developed by some of the world’s leading attachment researchers from Leiden University in Holland.
In VIPP-SD the practitioner works primarily with caregivers and young children, and the non-intrusive use of video and video-feedback is its defining component. It is based on attachment theory but also uses some behavioural principles to aid sensitive discipline.
VIPP-SD has been shown via randomized control trials to be extremely effective with a variety of groups (eg under 5’s, adoptive parents, childcare) and its successes have been extensively reported in many peer reviewed journals.
Miraculously, this miraculous vehicle has no lethal weaknesses, except maybe one, or two.
If there is one it is that in cold weather even with this lifepo4 battery does not heat enough during the day to stay above freezing by morning and we're Outdoors all the time. This is the biggest concern. There are heating pads from Walmart, there are oil pan heating pads and maybe the solution is as simple as cutting away the insulation on the sides of the battery, applying the heating pad then re applying the external installation, securing the wiring, and using it then sometimes in the winter time as needed. That it may be this thin enough that it won't interfere with the cranks.
If there is a second vulnerability it may be that the geometry of the otherwise game-changing rear trike wheel hub motor yields too much leverage on the internal bearing that it fails as it seems to have done. In two days it is hoped that back up bearings are secured. It is not known for certain that they will fit. It is not known for certain that they are the reason that there is now a wobbling play in the rear axle tho very slight and it may be that James will hold off on finalizing the diagnosis by opening the motor until he arrives at a place where it has labeled back up if that's still available. Or maybe he will dig right in. We'll see. If it turns out that the proper size replacement bearings can be secured then if it is necessary to replace the bearings every 3000 miles or so that's fine. If not, James needs to come up with a different Hub Arrangement, maybe the dd45 with proper adjustments, but never failed before.
The greatest expression of political and moral Authority since Martin Luther King Jr? Extraordinary. Well done.

I have no family, and that's totally fine, and when I go want to be a burden to no one. Also well I'm going.
When I'm gone, I'm gone. That's it. Peace. And I wish to be a disturbance to no one in any way. 0. The prospect of being otherwise is a horror to me. I hope to figure out how to do that, and maybe donating my body is a way to do that according to this article.
Updated travel plans.
As several items have been sent to the post office a hundred and forty miles south of here just South of Roanoke Virginia. By Monday or Tuesday some important bearings and a backup motor might be there. And some other items as well. So that's my direction, it's not urgent, but that's the direction. I'm feeling a little bit better than I was this morning so I think I'll continue another 14 miles south and stay in the Walmart on the west side of town and hopefully continue on tomorrow morning.

Body and Sol are saying James, slow down for a while man. Okay.
Our plan is to feed the body and rest and repair the sols these next couple of days. There appear to be a relatively high density of fairly close together, 20 or 30 miles apart, places where we can be for the night. And a fairly high density of all you can eat buffets, Asian, Golden Corral. So that's the plan.

Cycling. Moments after announcing my Mastery, after 4 years, my niece said, no f****** way.
But I don't think we're defeated. Maybe the principles are extensible, and the 12 to 2 position needs to be radically shifted toward the body and up. Will require much new muscle retraining, but I think it might be doable.
Less than two years ago, Mr. Empathy, corporate “blue collar” Joe Biden said that he had “no empathy” for Millennials’ struggle to get by in the savagely unequal and insecure precariat economy he helped create over his many years of abject service to the Lords of Capital. “The younger generation now tells me how tough things are—give me a break,” said Biden, while speaking to Patt Morrison of the Los Angeles Times two years ago. “No, no, I have no empathy for it, give me a break.” Read that a second time: “No, no, I have no empathy for it, give me a break.”.....
Uncle Tom Obama the day after Trump was elected: Here’s some of what Obama told the American people the day after Trump was collegiately selected: “Now, everybody is sad when their side loses an election. But the day after, we have to remember that we’re actually all on one team. This is an intramural scrimmage. We’re not Democrats first. We’re not Republicans first. We are Americans first. We’re patriots first. We all want what’s best for this country. That’s what I heard in Mr. Trump’s remarks last night. That’s what I heard when I spoke to him directly. And I was heartened by that. That’s what the country needs—a sense of unity; a sense of inclusion; a respect for our institutions, our way of life, rule of law; and a respect for each other. I hope that he maintains that spirit throughout this transition, and I certainly hope that’s how his presidency has a chance to begin.…A lot of our fellow Americans are exultant today. A lot of Americans are less so. But that’s the nature of campaigns. That’s the nature of democracy.” “America[ns] First!”...

The malignancy of individualism is so much about privilege to the point of narcissism, blinding millions to the reality that their so-called patriotism is lethal to the world. This is why I hold few things as sacred. The sacred is where all the myths are, covering up all the ugliness people and nations like the U.S. justify. To destroy oppression, we must destroy the sacred, the myths that chain us all....

So my personal view is that you can look at a lot of psychological findings and just put a question mark on them — not that they’re definitely false. We know that some of the practices that were used to produce a lot of those findings are, themselves, not all that credible.” The latest test of cognitive reappraisals puts the science of mental health interventions on a firmer foundation. Psychology encompasses a lot of flimsy ideas that claim to make your life better. Here’s one that seems to actually work......

Most of the last couple of months have been a very dark difficult time for me. Not complaining, just acknowledging. I suppose the agony of this imploding world has overwhelmed me and driven me into pretty substantial depression or something like that. Depression, Darkness, is very adaptive for me but very painful. But as is always the case so far after the darkness the epiphanies come. And whether it is my extraordinary progress with Sol, took the biggest leap ever yesterday afternoon, or with other major things in my life, the last couple of weeks have been very fruitful. And also I've been able to make time for articles that I have not been reading for months, and there's some really important writing that I have reposted. FYI.
