How about the outfield gets no more water, until it cleans up its wells? Or we (the people) put the price of water up, until real change happens. No water, no oilfield. I’m not against oil exploration, I’m against provincial exploitation.

Most keep looking for consciousness in the brain, when we should be looking for it in every cell? 15 trillion cells, all in a state of coherence. Perhaps as elsewhere in nature (plant communication), consciousness is found in the communal coherence of biological subsystems?

Here’s what biological naturalism might actually look like, and probably does. It’s a segment of a single microtubule time crystal with 4 oscillating subsystems corresponding to hertz, kilohertz, megahertz, gigahertz and terahertz frequencies. @pgodfreysmith ingentaconnect.com/content/imp/jc…

🚨 SOMETHING BIG JUST HAPPENED: BlackRock just blocked investors from pulling their own money out. The world’s largest asset manager is telling people: no, you can’t have your cash back. This has never happened before. BlackRock’s $26 billion private credit fund got hit with $1.2 billion in withdrawal requests this quarter. Investors wanted 9.3% of their money back. BlackRock said no. Capped it at 5%. Paid out $620 million and locked the rest. That means almost HALF the people who wanted out couldn’t get out. And it’s not just BlackRock. Blackstone’s similar fund saw a RECORD 7.9% in redemption requests. They had to raise their withdrawal cap and inject $400 million of their own money just to cover the demand. Blue Owl straight up stopped honoring redemptions. Replaced them with IOUs. BLK dropped 5%. KKR, Carlyle, Apollo, Ares, Blue Owl, and TPG all fell 5-6% with it. The entire private credit sector sold off in a single day. These funds lend money in illiquid loans. Loans that can’t be sold quickly. So when too many investors want out at the same time, the fund doesn’t have the cash to pay everyone. BlackRock also just wrote a separate $25 million loan down to ZERO. It was valued at full price three months ago. Gone overnight. JPMorgan’s Bill Eigen said it best: “Bad news often happens all at once. The opacity and the leverage in the sector is concerning.” This is a $1.8 TRILLION industry. – Rising oil. – War in the Middle East. – AI disrupting the software companies that borrowed heavily from these funds. – Rate cuts off the table. When the biggest funds in the world start telling investors you can’t have your money back… That’s a MAJOR warning.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Btw, I’ve been an investor for more than 20 years, and when I make a new move in the market, I’ll announce it here publicly. A lot of people will wish they followed me sooner.

@randallwcarlson In another post you asked a question regarding megalithic structures: WHY? Well, maybe this is why. If you want to survive, these types of galactic, seemingly random forces, that came in annual cycles, you stack huge stones. Perhaps?

Randall Carlson@randallwcarlson·
In 1908, a bolide exploded over a remote region of Siberia with enough force to flatten 2,000 square kilometres of forest. Had it arrived over any major city on Earth, that city would no longer exist. To understand the scale, Randall Carlson offers a benchmark most people can work with. The largest bombs in the American Cold War arsenal peaked at around 15 to 20 megatons. The Soviet Union tested a device in 1962 estimated at 50 to 55 megatons - so large and so heavy that they had no reliable way to deliver it. It existed essentially as a demonstration of destructive potential rather than a deployable weapon. The Tunguska event released energy in that same order of magnitude, and it was not a particularly large object by cosmic standards. When researchers attempt to quantify what ancient impact events may have released, nuclear yield is the only human-made reference point capable of framing the numbers. The comparison is not rhetorical. It is the closest gauge we have.

Imagine living in a country like Canada -- peaceful, free, gentle, polite??? -- and wanting to "separate?" WTF is up with that? Maybe it's a sign that life has been too easy; if you've travelled and you've seen how many others live, you'd kiss the ground and say Thank You.

I genuinely do not know exactly how to express my feelings on this. MAiD has been consistently demonized on the right and cases of those who are not terminally ill get the focus when that is incredibly rare. Our government has better things to do than attack MAiD. timescolonist.com/the-mix/immigr…

You are absolutely allowed to leave Canada. You just can’t take a chunk of it with you. As for the constitution, it’s true: it’s very hard to change. Too hard. That needs to change — for everybody’s sake. The country needs a better amending formula — one that is based on the consent of the people, not the consent of the premiers. But whatever formula is chosen, it can never be the case that one part of the country can impose constitutional changes on the rest of the country merely by voting on it — or legislating it. It’s wrong, and unconstitutional, when the government of Quebec does it, or purports to. And it’s just as wrong when the government of Alberta does it. Or purports to. Constitutional change, of any kind, can only be the result of a broad consensus across the country. That’s especially true of the kind of constitutional change that would be required to break up the country. A final point, which has been made a thousand times, but it seems needs to be made a thousand more: equalization is not unfair to Alberta. It’s a screwed-up, dysfunctional, politicized program that doesn’t actually equalize. But it’s not paid for by Alberta, and it’s not an interprovincial revenue-sharing program. It’s a federal spending program paid for by federal taxpayers. Even as federal taxpayers, Albertan’s don’t pay into it disproportionately. They face exactly the same schedule of tax rates as taxpayers in the rest of the country. The people who pay disproportionately for it are richer people. They’re supposed to: that’s how a progressive income tax works. All these feverish calculations of how much more Albertans pay into the federal treasury than other Canadians are only a statement of how much richer Albertans are, on average, than other Canadians — a blessing, and a burden, they have in common with Canadians in, for example, midtown Toronto, who also pay “disproportionately” for equalization and other federal programs, only without the same vast industry devoted to showing how hard done by they are. The only way in which you could say that equalization treats Alberta “differently” than other provinces is that its government does not qualify, and has never qualified, for equalization payments. But that’s not discrimination either — there’s no law that says “Alberta shall not be eligible for equalization payments.” The reason it does not receive equalization is because it is, by far, the richest province in the country, with by far the highest per capita revenues — even without a provincial sales tax. Equalization is messed up enough, but an equalization program that paid out to the richest province in the federation would be completely insane. Maybe we shouldn’t have a progressive income tax. Maybe we shouldn’t have an equalization program. I happen to think we need both, albeit in substantially modified form, but those are legitimate questions for debate. What’s not legitimate is pretending that equalization is some kind of scam against Alberta. What’s even less legitimate is pretending you can abolish or reform a federal program by a referendum in one province. And what’s least legitimate of all is invoking the failure of that non-solution to a non-problem as justification for the constitutional nonsense of secession — which, to repeat, is the proposition that you can not only leave Canada, but take a piece of it with you.
Derek Fildebrandt@Dfildebrandt

Clear admission from an Eastern federalist: Albertans should not even bother to reform Canada. The constitution is set in stone in the East’s favour. It will never change. And you are never allowed to leave.

The difference, I actually WANTED to watch a @MarkJCarney video. I WANTED to hear his voice. I WANTED to hear his words. I WANTED to hear his ideas. And I haven’t had that feeling for any Canadian politician in a long long time.

🚨WATCH: "With our economy under threat from abroad, Canadians have made a choice. To focus on what we can control." - Prime Minister @MarkJCarney @PierrePoilievre is copying PMMC word-for-word. Just goes to show that #Canada doesn't need Pierre. #cdnpoli

The reserve currency is going to CAD. CAD can’t do that alone, so, this is how:
Occupy Democrats@OccupyDemocrats

BREAKING: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney blindsides Trump by forming a super alliance of 40 powerful countries to defeat his disastrous MAGA agenda. Carney has become one of Trump's most brilliant adversaries... According to Politico, the European Union, composed of 27 nations, as well as a geopolitical bloc of 12 Indo-Pacific countries, have begun negotiations to form one of the largest economic alliances in the entire world. This historic pivot comes as Trump continues to wage erratic tariff wars on close allies, turning the once-stable United States into a deeply unreliable partner. The talks are being led by Canada and will be the fruit of Carney's vision of a world in which the so-called "middle powers" unite to undermine Trump's tariffs and make themselves immune to his bullying coercion. If successful — and it certainly appears to be heading in that direction — the supply chains of countries as far off as Canada, Malaysia, and Germany could be intwined into one super supply chain. “The work is definitely coming along,” a Canadian government official said to POLITICO. “We’ve had very fruitful discussions on it with other partners around the world.” “We see a lot of value in increasing trade among the EU and [Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership] parties, which would also contribute to enhancing supply chain resilience,” stated a Japanese trade official. Last month, Carney gave an astonishing speech at the Davos World Economic Forum during which he announced the end of American dominance, stating that the "bargain no longer" works for the rest of the world. American hegemony once offered benefits, now it offers only chaos. "Let me be direct, we are in the midst of a rupture not a transition," Carney said during that speech. "Over the past two decades a series of crises in finance, health, energy, and geopolitics have laid the bare risks of extreme global integration." "But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons," he said, referring to Trump. "Tariffs as leverage. Financial infrastructures as coercion. Supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination." He predicted that allied nations would "diversify to hedge against uncertainty" and "rebuild sovereignty" and that's exactly what's happening with this nascent trade alliance. Carney said that the deal will "create a new trading bloc of 1.5 billion people." Left out in the cold would be the American people, who will be forced to stand by as the citizens of other nations enjoy easier, cheaper access to reliable goods. Trump has made us a world pariah, and the price will be shouldered by your wallet. “We hope that if that’s a success, if you can see tangible benefits in different areas, that could also entice other countries to join in and team up in a positive sense,” said Klemens Kober, the Director of Trade Policy, EU Customs, Transatlantic Relations at the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce. “So the more the merrier," Kober added. This is what happens when you elect an ignorant conman and give him unilateral power over foreign policy. Trump and his MAGA sycophants thought that the rest of the world would simply roll over as America proceeded to pillaged and ransack their coffers. Instead, they'e banding together to completely shatter the balance of power forever. Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump is the worst president in American history!
