Solution? Gold, damnit.

We hear a few things, see a thing or two more; pump prices go up, so does the debt, and all the while we can't seem to make up our minds which of our unsustainable futures to continue funding.

I think we're in trouble.

Things started to get fishy when going to college became a racket, delaying our entry into a world that prizes igenuity over credentials anyway.  It's funny to joke about how you could just buy your son or daughter a new BMW every year instead until you realize that it's true, and that come senior year, NYU will be arriving at a mailbox near you, too.

Now the rest of the world owns our debt, yet somehow the dollar is still the world's reserve currency (thank goodness we're the only ones who can print more!).  

Uhhh...

If there's no problem here, then I think I need to reevaluate my definition of the term. 

Maybe we need to bring it back to the basics for people.

AND

We tried an experiment over here at mahalo and I'd love to see what you think.  Boring?  Informative?  Remember, it's also free.

"hey joe, what do you know?

I woke up this morning feeling a lot like Data, a little like Joe; maybe just as cynical as Bender.  What is the world coming to when the only characters I can sympathize with are the ones that aren't human?

Fun Fact:  Look up the search traffic for AI and you'll find that the mispelling "t ai" has more montly hits.  Whenever the machines do begin to reason, it won't be hard to see through our shit.

I think it has to do with their search for the meaning of humanity - that which makes us more than the sum of our parts - that draws people into the plight of the soulless.  Maybe it's because, though I can only speak for myslef, we've forgotten ourselves what it means.

As the world becomes saturated with tech and our lives are more and more indistinguishable without it, it seems like a valid concern.  

Ah, the things that keep me up at night... 

Maybe someone should write a movie about it.

OH, AND:

Trying word problems for a change.  What do you think?
