  1. AI Could Never Feel Something in Its Bones

    Things That AI Cannot Do – #15 in a series

    August 25, 2026

    There is something that all humans share and that is our bones.  Bones are made of essential elements much like those found in the earth. Our bones hold us up even when we feel like sinking down. We have skeletons in the closet, and yes those are bones. We even have a funny bone which weirdly is no laughing matter.

    Paleontologists have found bones that are hundreds of thousands of years old. These old bones, pieced together, tell a story of a life that we can only imagine. It is amazing that something as simple as a bone can outlast the longest of civilizations.  Shows like Human on PBS help us understand man’s long and complicated evolution towards this century we all live in.  We learn that the human has been at this game for a very long time.  AI, on the other hand, is still a toddler in diapers.

    AI depends on rare minerals mined from the far corners of the earth.  Most of them are elements that the common person has never heard of; but without them, the complex computer systems it depends on could not survive.  When those materials are depleted someday, as rare things often are, then Artificial Intelligence will silently melt away into the dark hole of existence. Perhaps.

    I don’t know when the saying “I feel it in my bones” even started, but it surely has something to do with intuition.  Intuition is a hard thing to describe except perhaps as something we feel in our bones which is a type of circular argument. It is the feeling we get when things are going along smoothly.  But, more often than not, it is a signal from our core that something is amiss.

    Where is this core?  Is it found in the soul or the bones?  When we die, our soul will move on to that place where souls go.  Where that might be is one of the great mysteries of life, but our bones will remain here on earth.  Someday, someone might pick up a fragment of bone and create a story about us and how we lived our lives during this twenty-first century.  The story will surely include details about how fragile and sacred that life was, and how blessed we all were to be living on this blue planet oasis floating in the abyss of space.

    Someday, when the fragile ecosystem of rare minerals that keeps AI alive has been depleted, all that will remain is the hollow metal shell of itself. Someday, some scientist wandering about looking for artifacts may pick up a shard from some great discard pile and wonder… what did man do with this?  The answer will be … it depends.

  4. Seems timely, since we are in midst of multiple #ClimateCrisis events, to post about 2 Canadian made film projects that explore what the world would be like, without humans.

    First up is, Aftermath: Population Zero aka Aftermath: The World After Humans.

    Imagine if one minute from now, every single person on Earth disappeared. All of us. Human history just stopped. What would happen to the world without us? Aftermath: Population Zero features what scientists and others speculate the earth, animal life, and plant life might be like if humanity no longer existed, as well as the effect that humanity's disappearance would have on the artefacts of civilization. this documentary is inspired by Alan Weisman's The World Without Us.

  5. Menjaga Bumi untuk Generasi Mendatang: Tanggung Jawab Bersama dalam Konservasi Lingkungan

    Di era modern yang ditandai dengan perkembangan teknologi dan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang pesat, isu lingkungan menjadi salah satu tantangan terbesar yang dihadapi umat manusia. Perubahan iklim, berkurangnya kawasan hutan, pencemaran udara dan air, serta menurunnya keanekaragaman hayati merupakan dampak nyata dari aktivitas manusia yang kurang memperhatikan keseimbangan alam. Di tengah kondisi tersebut, kesadaran akan pentingnya konservasi lingkungan menjadi semakin relevan. Foto ini […]

  6. Coriolis Effect ✍️

    It explains why objects moving across a rotating world seem to curve from their straight path, even when no visible force pushes them sideways. Imagine throwing a ball straight across a spinning merry-go-round. To someone standing still outside, the ball travels in a straight line. But to someone riding the spinning platform, the ball appears to bend away from its path.

    The same thing happens on Earth because our planet is constantly rotating beneath everything that moves. Air currents, ocean flows, and even long-range projectiles travel over a surface that is turning while they move. This creates the illusion of a sideways force, known as the Coriolis effect.

    In the Northern Hemisphere, moving objects appear to bend to the right, while in the Southern Hemisphere they bend to the left. The effect grows stronger over larger distances and faster motions, but becomes almost unnoticeable in small, everyday movements.

    Scientists use this effect to understand the spinning of hurricanes, the paths of trade winds, and the circulation of oceans. It reveals that motion is not always as simple as it seems when the ground beneath us is constantly in motion itself.

  8. Companies join a #DeepSeaMining rush after Trump executive order, as regulators fast-track permits

    Trump’s order suggests the U.S. will decide for itself when to mine the global seabed, reversing the decision of previous administrations to honor the seabed authority’s rules.

    By HELEN WIEFFERING
    Updated 3:11 PM UTC, May 22, 2026

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "In the year since President Donald Trump signed an executive order promising to create a deep-sea mining industry from scratch, businesses have raised millions of dollars from investors, stock prices have soared and federal regulators have raced to fast-track a permitting process.

    "At least nine companies are in talks with the government for access to seabed minerals, according to an Associated Press review. Sections of the seafloor from #AmericanSamoa to #Alaska could be auctioned for offshore mining this summer and through the fall.

    All the action suggests the U.S. may soon give the green light for companies to commercially mine the seabed — something that’s never been done in international waters.

    "But a close look at some of the companies involved reveals uncertain track records and histories spattered with legal disputes, while major questions about how the minerals would be processed and refined remain unanswered. Watchers of the nascent industry are skeptical the promised riches will ever materialize."

  10. #DeepSeaMining causes immediate loss of #SeafloorLife

    by Eric Ralls, February 5, 2026

    "Far below the ocean surface, the deep seafloor is often described as one of the planet’s least disturbed ecosystems. That assumption is now being tested.

    "Companies are preparing to mine mineral-rich #nodules scattered across the abyss. The shift raises urgent questions about how quickly damage could appear once #industrial machines begin operating.

    "A new field experiment offers one of the clearest answers yet. Researchers found that a single trial of a deep-sea mining collector physically removed more than one-third of the animals and species living directly in its path.

    "The results show that biological impacts can occur immediately, not only after years of full-scale extraction."

  12. The 1st Adam in the Hebrew Scriptures #1 Beginning of everything

    Thousands of years ago there was a void, but there also was the Eternal Being that ever was and always shall be, having had no birth and never having an end or not able to die. That divine Eternal Being “That is” or “I Am“, the “I Am Who Am” or the “I Am Who Is” has a Voice and that Voice spoke in the darkness and when it spoke that what it expressed came into being. In this way That Spiritual Being “The I Am that I Am” took care that things came into being. Every time This I am that I am Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh אהיה אשר אהיה saw it was alright and when it was good The Cause of Being brought an other thing into existence. Every time The Being “That Is” spoke Its Word became a reality. The incorruptible Word spoken brought into existence.

    It was God’s Power (the Holy Spirit) that brought things to life. It was God His Word which was spoken, brought into reality and was there to stay for ever in truth, never telling lies. As such later in history the carnal beings created by that Most High Eternal Being received in their hands the greatest source of the greatest ideas known to man. First the Word went from one being to an other vocally, but later it became recorded on stone plates, than on papyrus and parchment roles. First those words of the Most High were notated in Hebrew, than Aramaic words and Greek words supplemented the documents written down in the name of God by set apart (holy) men.  This way man got the Scriptures, and for this series on the new or 2nd Adam we shall also look into the wisdom of the theological minds who brought forth the 1599 Geneva Bible Patriot’s Edition, which will enable you to think God’s thoughts after Him because the Bible is His special revelation. Herewith is a resource that you are sure to find indispensable for the study and interpretation of creation as God would have you see it.

    The Geneva Bible once changed the world. With that Bible man can hold in their hands something that is about to change the world — again. For those who find that bible we ask them to use this Bible with care. Use it faithfully with faith. Then watch God once more do above and beyond all that we can ask or imagine.

    {For this series we use the revised 2010 Tolle Lege Press (United States of America) edition of the 1599 Geneva Bible Restoration Project}

    To come to know why Jesus is so important for us and to come to see who he is and what purpose he served, we have to go back to the beginning of everything. We have to listen to the Word which sounded in the void.

    In Genesis chapter one we are told how everything started and that first of all, and before that any creature was, God made heaven and earth of nothing.

    Genesis 1

    1 God created the heaven and the earth. 3 The light
    and the darkness, 8 The firmament, 9 He separateth
    the water from the earth. 16 He createth the sun, the moon,
    and the stars. 21 He createth the fish, birds, beasts, 26 He
    createth man, and giveth him rule over all creatures, 29 And
    provideth nurture for man and beast.

    1 In the 1beginning aGod created the heaven and the earth.
    2 And the earth was 1,2without form and void, and 3darkness was upon the 4deep, and the Spirit of God 5moved upon the 6waters.
    3 Then God said, bLet there be light: And there was 1light.
    4 And God saw the light that it was good, and God separated 1the light from the darkness.
    5 And God called the Light, Day, and the darkness he called Night. 1So the evening and the morning
    were the first day.

    The Creation – James Tissot (1836–1902)

    Next we come to hear that it is the only power of God’s Word, His speaking, that makes the earth fruitful, which else naturally is barren. In Scriptures also more than once shall it be repeated that God made all His creatures to serve to His glory and God wanting to see that all is good, but that in the world there is seed, the matter that brings forth new matter, good or bad, depending on how the seed is and where the seed lands, in what sort of soil.

    9  God said again, eLet the waters under the heaven be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
    10 And God called the dry land, Earth, and he called the gathering together of the waters, Seas: and God saw that it was good.
    11 Then God said, 1Let the earth bud forth the bud of the herb, that seedeth seed, the fruitful tree, which beareth fruit according to his kind, which hath his seed in itself upon the earth: and it was so.
    12 And the earth brought forth the bud of the herb, that seedeth seed according to his kind, also the tree that beareth fruit, which hath his seed in itself according to his kind: and God 1saw that it was good.

    Too many christians do forget that the Bible also tells us clearly that there were animals and plants before man.

    20 Afterward God said, Let the waters bring forth in abundance every 1creeping thing that hath 2life: and let the fowl fly upon the earth in the 3open firmament of the heaven.
    21 Then God created the great whales, and everything living and moving, which the 1waters brought forth in abundance according to their kind, and every feathered fowl according to his kind: and God saw that it was good.
    22 Then God 1blessed them, saying, Bring forth fruit and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowl multiply in the earth.
    23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

    Only after all the planets, waters and earth, creeping beings it became time for an other creeping being of flesh and blood, in a system where there would be light and darkness as instruments appointed to serve to man’s use.

    Every time God spoke, the “soul of life” came into the beings (Hebrew for the “living thing” verse 24).

    24  Moreover God said, Let the earth bring forth the 1living thing according to his kind, cattle, and that which creepeth, and the beast of the earth according to his kind, and it was so.
    25 And God made the beast of the earth according to his kind, and the cattle according to his kind, and every creeping thing of the earth according to his kind: and God saw that it was good.

    It was only after God had commanded the water and the earth to bring forth other creatures, that He said of man “Let us make”, signifying, that He the Most Highest, Who speaks with the ‘Royal We’ (Royal plural or Pluralis majestatis), God

    “taketh counsel with his wisdom and virtue, purposing to make an excellent work above all the rest of his creation.” (1599 Geneva Patriot’s Edition)

    26 Furthermore God said, h,1Let us make man in our 2image according to our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over the beasts, and over all the earth, and over everything that creepeth and moveth on the earth.
    27 Thus God created the man in his image: in the image of God created he him: he created them imale and female.
    28 And God 1blessed them, and God said to them, jBring forth fruit, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over every beast that moveth upon the earth.
    29 And God said, Behold, I have given unto you 1every herb bearing seed, which is upon all the earth, and every tree, wherein is the fruit of a tree bearing seed: kthat shall be to you for meat.
    30 Likewise to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heaven, and to everything that moveth
    upon the earth, which hath life in itself, every green herb shall be for meat, and it was so.
    31 lAnd God saw all that he had made, and lo, it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
