This article was shared widely by me and led to this following messenger dialogue with a very thoughtful fellow.

B: Have you read anything by Guy Macphearson?  He concludes with quite a bit of scientific research that our climate will only sustain mamals (humans) only 10 more years

J: Hey man! No, because it has been clear to me for years now that the apocalypse will not be stopped. I believe my responsibility and I think the opportunity of us all is to Pioneer how to live joyfully in the apocalypse oh, the unmitigated material hell, so that we can show others how to do the same. I believe this is exactly what the man Jesus did and I suppose Buddha as well. It is irrelevant that we have the material and scientific means to save the planet we do not have a tiny fraction of enough sane in human being to use those material means and the science to do so. Of course I may be wrong but it has been horribly clear to me pretty much since Standing Rock. And our opportunity to show how to live joyfully anyway is such a wonderful opportunity. I shared the article I did uncharacteristically of me in recent years because I think it is a warning particularly those at greatest risk should have to consider getting out of the country while it's still possible.

But as to the premise of the book you mentioned I suppose part of me hopes it's true because I'm not a fan of prolong the misery. For me or for anyone.

And thank you for telling me of the book. I will be looking into it as input as to how much time the project has left.

Cycling. If I should die before I wake don't say I didn't leave logs on how to move salt. Holy smokes.

 LOL, and if everyone beside James knew how to do this talk to y'all for not telling me. LOL. They've been uploaded to the archive for

Cycling. James is learning to cycle for the first time after four years. Lifelong he has neglected his calves. Apparently they have a purpose. All logs in the archives.

Felt quite ill this afternoon for hours. Wondering if it was something Airborne. Feeling better now.

This joyful couple, they steal our produce sometimes the college kids, but it is so joyful

 

Are there any kids better prepared for this apocalypse than the Amish?

 

James and Sol are avoiding cities like the plague from here on out.

 

'And inevitably, at some point, I will be calling them climate murderers.' Now.

 

World record to James, self crippled cycling, for years, well over a thousand days. Cycling.

 

Cycling. holy s***, the kingdom of God really is within you.

 

James plants seeds maybe not seen for 2000 years. Chuck, John....

 Oh, and the completion of the thought ending this video is, John, a church man, mentioned mid interchange he'd like to make a contribution and I said gladly to the mission. After James further controversial thoughts John had not changed his mind and made a very generous contribution.

I was banned from Facebook for fully expressing my outrage at our stupidity in allowing these murders with our cowardly niceness period lost the esteem of those that had any for me in the process. no regrets.

With practically no exceptions the amount of evil someone does is directly proportional to how much evil they perceived in their lives.

For many or most it is not racism but avoidance of infection.

 

No one on earth wants James around. It couldn't be otherwise.

 

"How many years do you think ANY fossil fuel CEO will serve for knowingly destroying our planet's climate?" tweeted 350 Tacoma in response to Reznicek's sentencing. The Nation editor-at-large Mark Hertsgaard noted in a recent opinion piece published in Common Dreams that "oil companies, the executives in charge of them, the propagandists they've employed, and the politicians they've funded have largely escaped blame, much less had to pay–whether through financial penalties or prison time—for the immense damage they have done." —- #FreeJessica #WaterIsLife #NoDAPL #NoPipelines #ClimateJustice

 

In a raid on a Palestinian children’s center in May, an Israeli soldier tore up Palestinian books saying the kids wouldn't need them, an attitude that reminds Tony Greenstein of Nazi attitudes towards Jewish children.

 

I would think my nine lives must be just about used up by now.

There is enormous possibility when one comes to realize that they don't understand. For example, for four years I've known I didn't know how to move my vehicle. I think now I do. 4 years of agony, but it opens an important possibility. More importantly, for most of my life I realized I didn't understand the man Jesus. Now I think I do. Lifelong frustration, but it created the possibility of understanding.

In his book "Ideas and Opinions," Einstein wrote, "There are only a few enlightened people with a lucid mind and style and with good taste within a century. What has been preserved of their work belongs among the most precious possessions of mankind."

Which seems more likely? That the life and teachings of Jesus we're not sufficiently revolutionary to save humankind, or that not one in a million starting with his so-called disciples understood his example and teachings? To me the answer is obvious, the latter. But James, he started a religion! Had Einstein's similarly find a religion there would be no nuclear power and no nuclear weapons.

Those that infuriate and endanger James the most need the most good treatment.

 

Khanh's Sol is a Marvel.

 Solid as a rock after 2500 miles, including the legendarily horrible Michigan Roads. And even a rear-end collision several days ago. Mercifully it was near Rex in Lansing who was home briefly, and so graciously and with such expertise he  effectef the repairs. But the basic structure held firm. We're rolling again. Michigan roads destroyed the solar panel on the roof , that needs to be replaced. Heat it seems is destroying the panel productivity on the trailer down maybe 30%. It may be that a controller needs to be replaced, a solar controller, tho that's not yet certain. Creator willing will re-enter Ohio tomorrow. Heading toward the coast of Maine.

The day may come when James doesn't need any more cycling logs. That they may have been today. All logs in my photo archives link this site.

I think at least a few like me less because of some things I've done recently. I think that's good, you know me more honestly and realistically now. Hugs

Are you riding for Jesus the nice man asked?

 

James is not doing real well.

 

Sol and I just got rear-ended. We can still roll. Figuring things out.
