Could this be as good as it will get
There's this feeling that things aren't going to get better. Maybe not for the remainder of my life. There was time before and we have been living in the after, probably for longer than I would like to admit. There is a heaviness and uneasiness. I keep telling people we're already in the midst of a civil war. It's just happening slowly. It just doesn't look like what we've been taught in history classes. Once a pattern matcher, always a pattern matcher. I've learned to pay much closer attention to my intuition and have been told repeatedly by others who have no connection to one another that this is my superpower. I wish I knew how to harness it better. I hope I'm wrong, but don't think I am.
I was hanging out with a friend yesterday and he asked what I would do if I was cut off from the Internet. I told him I keep downloaded AI models running locally on my computers, I downloaded a local copy of Wikipedia (did you know you could do that?) and I'm in the process of getting Meshtastic devices set up as well. Even if society doesn't collapse, it'll be good for natural disasters.
