It is becoming increasingly difficult to access truth in reporting in the 21st century. Everyone seems to be commenting or lying about current events and the actual news is ignored. As regards the current trend of using AI instead of our brains to solve problems, I have noticed that Microsoft's "Co-Pilot" will answer no questions about Joe Biden or the assassination attempt on President Trump. Apparently, the programmers have a political agenda, and we will be subtly brainwashed as we rely more and more on these mind-altering technological dictators.

I refuse to take it up (ai). Of course, I am retired and do not have to work for a boss.

I am just returning from a road trip through Southwestern Colorado where I visited a number of small independent bookstores. I bought a large carryall bag full of books of all kinds that appealed to my various interests. One of them is entitled “Knowing What We Know” by Simon Winchester. I have only just begun to read it but I know it is going to be good. All the way back to how we learned the first thing we can remember—how it informs all our subsequent learning and even our social interactions. I really want to learn this. It is not something I have thought about before. I am excited to have this new chance to learn and become better informed about such an important topic.

I had already purchased so many books that I told myself that I would buy only 1 book in this store in Frisco, Co. And there was only 1 copy on display. Destiny?😀
