REAL Social

2024/08/05

This episode underscores the importance of spending personal time face-to-face with "REAL" people--not an AI bot or social influencer "created" personality or social media "friends."

2024/07/28

I was watching a new video over on the "3 of 7 Project" YouTube channel and noticed an interesting video on women ruling over men.

In Part V, we get deeper into the psychological parallels between the psychology of street gangs and modern digital delinquents in today's "Gamer Gangs" and how both are quite similar. We will also explore the direct connections historically between our corrupt politicians and street gangs and how gangs can be the nucleus for the larger street mob events too.*Source: "the gang: a study of 1,313 gangs in Chicago" by Frederic M.

Today, a historical perspective on the US Government ordering Texas to basically "stand down" and remove their state of readiness thus allowing millions of unvetted people into our country.

Scaling Force

Something threw off my chi today, so I needed to modify my daily 30 minutes of physical activity to make it softer to accomodate my lower energy level...a "scaling force" concept out of combatives but applied in a much different setting or way...I hope sharing it helps you. Take care. Keep moving.
