We will survive AI

8.3 billion people on the planet. If ai somehow killed 99.9% of them that leaves 8.3 million left on the planet. As long as there was usable air, soil and water those 8.3 million could survive. 

Then if ai killed 99.9% of those people that's 8,300 people remaining. Humans are dispersed, resilient and intelligent. Those few thousand would survive. And grow.

AI could never get us all short of the utter physical destruction of the planet. 

American

America should be about equal chances for anyone to succeed. 

Not about equal outcomes for all.

Christmas

I got some golf stuff, some books, some clothes and lots of snacks. It was a relaxing holiday. 

I did a bad job making Christmas dinner and threw a lot of it away. Sad. 

I was able to talk or text with most of my family and that was nice too.

Dementia to do list

Before I've totally lost my mind, here are the things I'd like to do:

.Go to Antarctica to complete visiting all 7 continents 

.Go to Romania with J squared.

.Ride motorcycles in Greece for my birthday with Uncle Bill

.Go to the new classic monster world at Universal Studios in Florida 

.More sex 

.Cage dive with great white sharks, probably at the Farallons off San Francisco. 

Yeah, that's basically my bucket list as of now. There are probably some food related ones I could write as well. I'd like to golf again with Max. I'd like to travel again with Killer. But yeah...

King Richard

Richard received a Christmas present from multiple of the neighbors. He has to be the only cat enjoying such love from non family members. 

Tis the season

We're standing in front of the A Christmas Story house, in Cleveland Ohio.

The Range

From 2012 to 2022 if I said I was at the range, it was the shooting range.

From October of this year if I say I am at the range, it's the driving range. Golf.

Shooting matches were called just "golf with guns." Now I can see why, doing more golf than gun stuff.
