I read a book with the title The Art of Making Sense in 1975 My impression is that no book on that topic has been written since; sadly

Elon Musk just exposed the one lie every modern nation tells itself. Musk: “In 1969, we were able to send somebody to the moon.” Rotary phones. Computers the size of rooms. Slide rules. We put a human on the moon with less processing power than your watch. Musk: “Then the space shuttle retired, and the United States could take no one to orbit.” The most advanced nation in human history went from footprints on the moon to zero capability of leaving the atmosphere. That is not a funding problem. That is civilizational decay dressed up as a policy decision. Musk: “People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves… it will, by itself, degrade.” That sentence should keep you up tonight. We treat progress like gravity. Like it pulls us forward whether we try or not. It is the opposite. Progress is a boulder on a hill. The second you stop pushing, it rolls back over you. And it never announces itself. Musk: “You look at great civilizations like ancient Egypt, and they were able to make the pyramids, and they forgot how to do that.” They did not run out of stone. They were not conquered. They got comfortable. And the knowledge bled out so quietly that nobody noticed until it was already gone. That is the real threat to everything we have built. Not a nuclear flash. Not an asteroid. Not some dramatic Hollywood collapse. A quiet forgetting. Every chip we fabricate. Every rocket we launch. Every data center we power. All of it held together by a thin fraction of the population working at a pace that would break most people. The moment that fraction gets tired or outnumbered by people who believe the machine runs itself, everything dissolves. And here is the part nobody wants to say out loud. We are not special. We are running the same operating system as every civilization that came before us. Comfort is the sedative. Complacency is the flatline. One generation that stops fighting is all it has ever taken. You do not lose the future in a war. You lose it in your sleep.

I don't have a problem with the Premier leaving this one to the people. I have always said the independence movement got this far because we left the politicians out of it. HOWEVER, should the courts and/or Elections Alberta try and prevent the question from being asked (and they likely will), I would hope she steps in and puts it on a ballot anyway. Her political career in Alberta will depend on it.

Today, over 2.4 billion Christians across Alberta and around the world mark Good Friday. It is a solemn day of reflection, sacrifice, and faith. A reminder of the enduring values of grace, humility, and redemption that continue to shape our communities. To all those observing, I wish you a peaceful and meaningful Good Friday.

Had an old professor contact me to voice her opinion against Albertan Independence. She lives in Switzerland, but thought I ought to know how she feels about Alberta Independence being a bad. I told her Albertans will decide, not people living in Switzerland.

You realize that the whole drive to take Alberta and Saskatchewan out of Confederation is to make them isolated from all markets but the USA, then subjected, owned and controlled by the USA. After which, with those two provinces out of Confederation the rest of Canada can be weakened economically and with political, economic and other pressure, also forced to surrender to the USA, and thus all of Canada becomes OWNED by the USA. Why don’t we fix Canada and hold it together? #thecarrotconference

@originalkmiller @kathyflett1 Interesting (not surprising) that leaders at his level do not believe in or trust the democratic process Albertans will vote and this time their votes will count Let's see what they decide

Because he lives in Ottawa, he has no idea how we feel in Alberta. I hope all the feds keep dismissing us. They might be surprised when the referendum comes in October. Poilievre says Albertan independence ‘won’t happen’ on Joe Rogan podcast westernstandard.news/news/poilievre…
