"The pioneers get all the arrows"
My first calling was as a musician and songwriter...I was fortunate enough to have a good run...Some songs from a friend of mine you never heard but might like...

Friend of mine once told me this lyric should be stitched on a pillow:
"I believe that life is for living and love is the axis on which we turn
We bare our souls till all is forgiven
and clothe ourselves with the lessons learned"

A favorite quote from a favorite author:
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
― Robert A. Heinlein
...and one I saw on a studio wall in Nashville:
“Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.”
― Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
OK...one more...
“A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Friday

Let's get this out of the way:
• No fake neonazis/Jewbashers -- and yes, you're all fake.
• No fake flat Earthers -- and yes, you're all fake.
• No bootlicking, fake or otherwise, until you can explain why YOU believe it's immoral for YOU to be the highest authority over... (are you ready for it?) ...YOUR life. (If it *is* your life... *is* it *your* life?)
• No preaching or quoting Babble verses at me. Odds are a quadrillion to one that I know more about it than you do. ...And we need to have a word about all the inventions, such as "God", that somehow end up inserted without comment into every "translation" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) of the original Hebrew texts. Because those contain not a single supernatural concept. Period. Not sorry. Deal with it.
👉 For the record:
I don't think either sex is "better" than the other • I comprehend that "race" is meaningless to any practical purpose in life • I comprehend that all religions are invented • the only authority I recognize is my conscience • I'm not a member of any group or organization.
Also, I don't believe things.
👆 That is the most vital thing to understand. If you can ennumerate for yourself and understand all the ramifications of that, we'll get along just fine.
By way of explanation, it's about being self-honest and disciplined of mind.
I've yet to ever meet anyone whose brainpower appeared to approach my own. I'm just going to say that from now on, being a little bitter around the edges from waiting nearly half a century to meet another like me and it still not happening.
I'm just not "your average guy". Never have been, never will be... can't be, in fact. I couldn't be normal if I wanted to. Thankfully, I've never had the slightest interest in being anything other than whatever I naturally am.
Sorry in advance.
Anyway, I'm The Archivist; I archive things. I always have.
If I make any kind of statement, I already have good information to back it up, ready at hand. I make up my mind about things very slowly and very carefully, usually after a deep and thorough investigation... so I'm not an easy person to argue with.
Again, sorry in advance.
That being said... I actually *live* to be proven wrong. Because being proven wrong means I become less wrong, or more right. And I want to be as right as I possibly can at all times... don't you? I have no resistance to changing my mind. But to prove me wrong and change my mind, you have to bring the only two things I pay attention to: evidence and logic.
Opinions and beliefs are fine for trivial matters like one's personal preference of ice cream flavors. For any serious subject, they're worse than worthless.
