Sending Barron to boot camp and advanced infantry training would increase the chances of me actually believing the war with Iran was truly necessary.
I mean, I'm not an idiot so I do understand that Felon47 is willing to throw any of his offspring not named Ivanka under bus or turn them to cannon fodder but, I know he doesn't want them to know that.
I have frequently, perhaps too frequently for some, pointed out that one of the major flaws with most folk's attempts to predict the future is that they pick one thing to change and then metaphorically place that one changed thing in the current paradigm.
I rightly and accurately point out that while things are changing, things change. The change(s) is not limited to mobile phones or computers or smart whatever's. Case in point, the video you should definitely watch here, shows potential for as impactful a change as can happen short of AGI/ASI.
If there are flaws in the video that I would have caught had I more (read: any) education in that field, don't be shy. Point them out on the page so that no one else need recreate my missteps. Otherwise, feel free to share widely but, do understand it is not my video.
The world is currently in the process of driving me batshit crazy. Well, I say it is the world but in truth, it is pretty much just the USA and Russia. Mostly, it is the political scene in the USA. I have had to cut back on some of my news watching for the sake of what sanity I have left. Luckily, I have other interests
I do consider myself a futurist and I generally pay pretty close attention to technology and science trends and news. As is true in other endeavors, the fact of something isn't necessarily the thing you pay attention to. Rather it is how that fact or change or new tech etc etc etc, will affect life in the future.
The attached video does a pretty good job of explaining the dimensions and output of a new electric motor design. The motor it focuses on is rated for 1000hp. For reference, the engine in a big rig or a large class A RV would typically have an output of 400-600hp. The video is easily worth the watch.
I do not know what use cases are actually planned for the motor. In my mind, adding a couple of these 30lb motors and perhaps a 200lb battery/controller to a big rig could make a real difference. The rigs could use the electric motors to initiate motion from a stop without the typical plume of diesel exhaust hitting the air. It could make going uphill with a full load something that doesn't have to back traffic up. Fuel might well be saved and rather than the noise of the "Jake brake" slowing could be used just to charge the battery back up. There is a ton of potential for savings on fuel, time, air pollution, and noise.
Of course, some folk will bitch for whatever reason they want to bitch about it but, the potential is still there. The future is coming whether you are "here for it" or not.
If there was any doubt, it is gone. In the last few days, I heard Mullins talk about the war in Iran except that then he claimed it isn't actually a war. I heard him refer to President Hegseth a couple of times. His press interviews are painful to watch and there is a near guarantee that he will be getting some of the facts totally wrong.
I can only reach one conclusion. The incompetence is intentional. This time around, Felon47 has refused to hire anyone who is not incompetent and manipulable. Ignorant me from just a few years ago would have doubted there were that many people who were materially soooooooooo much less capable than the Felon but he found a bunch and the idiots in the Senate let him.
Y'all military types might wanna go ahead and watch this. There will come a time in the not too distant future where this is more relevant than you imagine.
