The quaternian beat goes on
Time may rotate like a spiral with some dimensionality. Thats my wild guess. The math for that could be Hamiltonian ijk imaginary numbers.
Its all beyond my ken. Just like matter tells spacetime how to curve, gravity could tell time how to move. We/I don't even know if time has any granular structure or if it is a basic force.

Time has questions to answer that's for sure. As for our own time, scientists have found 2 genes that can reset the age of a cell. Its been decades since we found the 4 genes that transforms any cell into a stem cell.
Doing this one cell at a time to live longer is not practical.
But there is progress and telomeres to consider. Aging may not be what we have accepted it to be.

Today we can delay aging by 2 months for every year we live.
Stopping aging is called escape velocity when age is delayed a year for every year alive.

AI has solved the problem of protein folding among most proteins. It is likely AI will play a role in life extension.

'What appears to us' is an important concept. If you were near enough to a black hole to significantly slow down time you would not feel anything different but to an outside observer you would be seen to slow down significantly.

Now imagine the opposite occurring with our video of a UFO. We may be seeing a sped-up version, while the ufo pilots don't feel anything different regarding speed or time. Perhaps you see what I am getting at. If not, forget about it.

There are some obvious things that don't need to be put in words.

They are what they love.
They love: Pro Wrestling, Reality TV, Casinos and gambling, Celebrity culture, Social Media, fake religion, PT Barnum stuff, crime, bigot, get-rich-quick scam artist, sexploitation, and street cred when shot.

TRUMP has mastered all of these things. !!!!

Trump is more than a Joe 'sixpack' Rogan.

He is what America has become.
He is America as seen on TV.

Who Trump Americans hate are certain races and genders and religions.
Oligarchy is deeply entrenched and is not likely to change. It costs a lot to run for Congress, generally in the millions of dollars. And more money for seats that are more competitive or populated. I assume the average mudcatter has less than 100 million dollars of disposable funds. So most people would have to align themselves with a billionaire or follow the Trump regime. There are a couple of exceptions for poor people who become House Congress people.

It should be evident that my claim that the US civil war has never ended is true. "With malice toward none' ended with the assassination of Lincoln. Reconstruction did see several blacks win political office but the massacres and riots continued in Iowa, Florida, and many other states. The KKK continues today. Not even WWII ended segregation and violence.
Race riots in the north continued at the turn of the century. Many police departments continue to maim and murder those of diverse races continuing through the George Floyd days. These Trump years are seeking to undo Lyndon Johnson's Civil Rights Act as well as claiming diversity equity and inclusion are to be reversed. Trump is revered as the great white supremacy hope.

.... A group of us were walking through the city to the barracks, some looking for safety, others, perhaps, for action. We saw a church on a side road. "Can we rest in there for a while?" said somebody, and I agreed we could.

The people in the church were very polite, and offered us coffee and cakes. As we were eating, someone came in from the kitchen: "What's this on the radio? --- it's on every channel." Out of the kitchen came the chorus: "A hard rain's gonna fall."

"That's it," I said, "that's the signal," and I started putting my Kalashnikov back together, ready to move out. The church people were worried about a gun in a place of worship, and were saying, "You can't do that in here," but I said "You've got a choice to make, comrade: come with us, or don't ...."

Outlawing diversity in the USA by Executive Order is ephemeral and reversible compared to Congressional law. Besides it is not something that ceases to exist by command.

Owning and punishing the Libs is a SOP Trump strategy.
However many of the freedom-killing rules affect not just Libs but all Americans. This won't change the mind of the young but older Americans will feel the difference.

After 11 people were killed at abortion clinics. Clinton created the FACE Act, which prevented attacks on clinics with police protection.
Trump's Justice Dept. has reversed the FACE Act and Trump has pardoned 10 people for attacking abortion clinics.
Technically Trump has not legalized murder, he has only removed protection from murder. Promises kept. Looking the other way are the new rules.

Evolution has given us minds that allow us adaptive perceptions but it does not allow us to see reality or the truth. This is why people can easily be misled. Adaptive perceptions are good for survival and reproduction but hide the truth of physical reality.
Our cosmological assumptions grow out of our evolutionary perceptions and are usually wrong. Even spacetime is a human artifact and not a truth. This will always keep human science off balance. New physics will go in geometric dimensions that often defy human consciousness.
We give ourselves a couple basic assumptions and build on that.
We have to see beyond spacetime, the speed of light, and 10 to the minus 33 centimeters. Going beyond conceptual understanding is very hard or impossible. AI is great at coding but having it see beyond itself may not work. Things that break our rules like magic are the inroads that may lead to a new physics. Are 86 billion neurons enough to do that? Goedel's theory of limitation might be right or in 100 years scientists will laugh and mock our current level of understanding.

.... Right, I've had a terribly theraputic rant, looked it over, and deleted it. Let's try again, more slowly:

I'm not against GPT (which some people insist on misnaming "AI") per se, provided people recognise its limitations, which is far from a given. I suspect, and Garnet predicts, that the hype bubble over GPTs/LLMs will burst soon, preferably before it engulfs the entirety of some poor country's GDP or the expended waste heat cooks us all. What really frightens me is not the unknowns of machine intelligence, but the well-known, frequently-demonstrated and apparently ineradicable stupidity of humanity, which insists on sticking its fingers into the mains socket of the universe, often precisely because it's been told this is A Bad Thing To Do by someone who was around last time.

"If two events occur, the speed of the travelling Now is what keeps them apart. This is what stops everything happening at once, which would be most embarrassing, and lead to all sorts of conspiracy theories."

If you've ever been to the Kennedy Center you know the abundant helicopter traffic over the Potomac river. A Blackhawk helicopter collided with an American Airline jet from Witchita, exploded and both fell into the icy Potomac just minutes ago. The plane was on path to land on runway 33 at National Airport. There is no report of casualties or survivors. There is video of the collision.
The speed of the traveling now was unfortunate.
