Our ‘collective’
rage
We are at war with
ourselves. We are angrier about politics than we used to be. Is it because of
conspiracy theories? No. We have had them since Sam Adams proclaimed that
the British Empire literally wanted to enslave white Americans. Conspiracy
theories that followed targeted the Bavarian Illuminati, the Masons, Catholics,
East Coast bankers, a global Jewish cabal, and so on. Are social media
responsible for our collective rage? No, social media didn’t cause political
polarization. A large study showed that people were much more likely to share
posts from news organizations or members of Congress that referred to their
political out-group—i.e., the opposite party. Maybe we’ve all gotten angrier as
a natural reaction to things getting worse. There’s simply very little
evidence that the American public has become less happy about its concrete
material condition. It wasn’t until Fox News was up and running that we started
to see permanent changes in the electorate. Trump taught HALF of all Americans
to hate their government and the liberals who ran it. It was Trump on Fox News
that fired up the evangelicals to settle for nothing less than complete
destruction of the deep-state pedophiles. It is Fox News that has torched the
American political system over the past two decades, and it is Fox News that we
have to continue to fight.

7 Social Security
and Medicare Quirks That Can Trip You Up
If did not enroll in
SS benefits during the initial enrollment period, you need to start Medicare by
going directly to do so. Part B enrollment can be delayed; Part A (hospital) is
automatic when you begin SS benefits. You can’t contribute to HAS if you begin
Medicare. Additional charges (IRMAA) reduce benefits if your income is too
high. Poorly planned RMDs can force higher taxes. If you are married, your
income may determine your spousal benefits. Delayed benefits past age 70 are
not increased. Visit your local SS office in order to get the proper
information about you and your spouse benefit amounts.

Broker Bad Behavior
Broker asks YOU for
a loan. Beware promissory notes—without accredited buyer—could be fraud.
Advisors who use emails or text may be in violation of firm oversight rules.
Transfers directly to broker or advisor accounts may be fraud—using personal
account not the firm’s account. Sellers request that they become your
beneficiary. Always check a seller’s past on BrokerCheck. Insurers use tricks
to increase annuity sales.

Our Universe is Mind-Blowing
Light is both
a particle and a wave depending on how we look at the light.
I
don’t think that there is any such thing as a position or a velocity of a
particle.
Everything (galaxies
to stones) in universe made of subatomic
energy ‘vibrations’
A subatomic ‘particle’
is the smallest possible vibration (quantum) of a quantum field.
A ‘particle’ is an event;
not an objective thing. This event is set of complex relationships.
Mass–energy
equivalence: E=mc^2. At the smallest
level; Everything is moving
Energy into matter: scientists
converted light energy directly into matter in one step
In place of atomic lattice,
light
waves used to create an optical lattice with same geometry
Physics Nobel Prize:
“entanglement” 2
particles share info instantly at a distance
Quantum
mechanics violates local realism: two objects behave as single system at
distance
“It may be that gravity and quantum mechanics are
exactly the same thing,” Leonard Susskind
Gravity
might induce the collapse of quantum vibrations into 1 quantum state—our
world
Strange state
of physics that allows energy
to flow frictionlessly through a material.
