My readers, because of the problem I had with my domain recently, I am committed to paying down the domain and the space here on WordPress where I have been for a very long time down for very many years to come. I am committed to this life. This is my life. And no matter what else I do to make money, I will always endeavor for the human spirit especially in the age of AI(and its potentiality as weaponry, civil rights, individualized and targeted abuse). Please be a part of this determined humanizing endeavor by donating towards this effort today. Thank you..
