Wisdom Wednesday – Rebuilding The Working Class

Saw the story I’ve copied below online and it made me think of the current Federal NDP Leadership Race where this is a major topic of conversation.

Secular Sunday – When Ted Turner Asked Carl Sagan If He Was A “Socialist”

“Socialist” being used as a slur isn’t a recent phenomenon… When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave an answer that redefines what it means to be a civilized society.

In 2-3 Years, AI Will Mean There Is Basically No Way To Tell What Is Real and What Is Not

This is a huge problem.  (I think I’m fairly tech savvy but I’m already having situations where my kids are saying “Dad – that’s AI!”  They’re more skeptical but will they get sucked in too as it ges better and better?) In 2–3 years, there will be no way to tell what’s real and what’s […]
