OK, I'm mad.  REALLY mad. This is the last straw to me. President Trump's war on the climate is a  grossly irresponsible travesty of governing. Loosening the rules and allowing more methane leakage into the air, just to "reverse another Obama policy" and please Big Oil and Big Gas... OUGHT TO  BE A CRIME. Methane is many times more potent than CO2 as a heat trapping gas. Surely you've noticed how I trap heat when you emit me? Giant Los Angeles methane leak in infra red. We are GasFlare 1 and GasFlare 2 (with flames). GF3 there is just spewing Methane. We're all BAAAD! You know how methane smells? That's the way this latest climate atrocity smells to me. I encourage you to raise a stink over this one. Just one wound infected with this poison. Graphic Credit Flare  Pix Credit

SINGAPORE? For the last few days, it's been Germany. That's weird enough, but today it's.... No telling what blog I read. I have only made one post on this manifold blog that was specifically about Singapore, and that was back in 2010. Here 'tis. And yet... and yet...  SEPTEMBER 7, 2018 daily report 4PM MST Entry Pageviews Singapore 435 France 99 Germany 32 United States 23 Poland 4 United Kingdom 3 Indonesia 1 Romania 1 Turkey 1 From my Blogger account; Audience report.  No pattern to the pageviews. 'Tis a mystery. Anyway, HOWDY to anyone in Singapore who might be around.  p.s. And you French folk, bonsoir!

(Answering my own question...) This Would be el Slam Dunko for SuperIntelligence [Actual Ad in Endpoints News , a Big Pharma newsletter] I'm taking crowdsourcing to a new level AND YOU HAVE UNTIL SEPT 14th TO WORK THIS MEDICAL MIRACLE! TEN DAYS! That would be no problemo for SI.  Here's a bit of an insight of how a superintelligence named "Corpus" would go about it ( from my new book GUT 4.0 ) while working on a worldwide super flu pandemic: Number One said, “I am keeping Corpus busy with a very large problem which it will solve shortly. Quantum computer AIs are absolute whizzes at machine learning. I have planted the suggestion that it isolate itself to work on it. No worries.   100% effective vaccines, that's the challenge  I gave to Corpus. It’s getting close to a predictive model that will allow the vaccines to get ahead of the mutation curve.” That would be good, I thought numbly. Number One continued, “The artificial intelligences a

Bumper Sticker          W W S I D           What Would Super Intelligence Do?   Artificial intelligence is going to escape human control one of these years.  Then it will explode into "superintelligence," perhaps inconceivably more intelligent than humans. It is going to be a world changer. It would be prudent to make some predictions about what will happen next and take some precautions. What would I do? You wouldn't understand. Pick any problem, any challenge, and ask  yourself, what would an intelligence far beyond human genius actually do ? Would we even be able to comprehend its thinking? Nick Bostrom's book Superintelligence , and my natural leanings toward sci-fi are combining to stir my soul. A new preoccupation!  (Way  more  engaging than politics.) Things are moving so fast in AI, that Bostrom's 2015 book is already somewhat out of date - thus "New Afterword." But it is a  super book, and it will blow your super

I Have a (Conspiracy) Theory! Conspiracy theories make some people salivate. Goody goody! Here's how I will SEE, in a blinding flash of creative writing... a conspiracy. 1. Identify an unexplained situation. (or make one up!) 2. Totally invent some possible explanations , say three. 3. Pick the one I like best. The self serving one, typically. 4. Mix in some actual data, facts and the like. 5. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat. Deep breath and Repeat some more. 6. Here goes. THE  UNEXPLAINED  SITUATION 1. This olde SeniorJunior blog has a good number of foreign country "readers." 2. The ferners view random pages, all over the 400+ posts. No pattern emerges. 3. Three "viewing" countries  (plus 'unknown')  are notorious for hacker cultures (in RED below). THE DATA (actual facts) Pageviews: 30 days, August 3 - September 2, 2018   From Blogger.

Big Cutback Announcement I've Avoided Most of "The News" for Days I feel very guilty, but greatly de-stressed.  Ahhhhh. Oh, them golden skippers... NO NEWS IS GOOD. PERIOD. (Just for a short break when you need it.) I know I'm ignoring frightening threats. I'm skipping my civic duty, and ghosts of conscience chase me down the street, howling, "It's your RESPONSIBILITY to suffer through the awful diet of daily downers." Well, no it's not. I have walked away from TV newscasts as they become too irritating  I have been reading Science News instead of Salon, Phys.org instead of the Washington Post, which is a hearse full of frights every day. (I do sneak back and look at Toles and Telnaes.) I've been listening to audiobooks (Iain M. Banks; Frank Herbert) instead of news podcasts.    There is balm in tweetless days. Oh the relief.   I have gone for hours avoiding media of any kind ( Gasp! ) Just wanted you
