I talk about how Amazon is more difficult to study as far as trying to improve organic search results. A video I had planned on researching the horror genre totally went off the rails. Also in video I am being silly and entertaining.
Or not.

Reincarnation: Between Lives
Talk about that maybe time loops like a lot of other things but don’t go into full talk on that. Rather the main subject is how studies show that people who seem to remember between lives have a different take on it if they are in a technological society vs. a non-technological society.

Bare Detectives: A Wrecked Life
Chapter 1 Excerpt
A warm breeze blew across the sweaty face of Jim Toro. He stood outside a bar in the early morning. When the bar was open, it would stay open for days on end though strictly speaking, that was illegal in the town of Hearthville.
People mulled about in the dimly lit parking lot of the Chase Bar. The bar had swinging doors like it was a refuge from the old wild days of Hearthville. Once upon a time, Hearthville was more like the old wild west than the old wild west was. But like Atlanta, Hearthville had been tamed–for the most part. Still there was the Chase Bar with men who fancied themselves a rough lot who liked women who liked men and for more than just a chaperon on a lonely night or an unforgiving morning.
Jim felt sad. He had lost his job. He feared he was going to lose his wife. And he had discovered some dangerous things that he wished he had not discovered. He had learned the identity of the man responsible for bringing 70% of the drugs into Hearthville and 40% of the drugs into Atlanta. And then there was that business of the embezzlement from Sports123Up where he had lost his job.
Skelkey walked up to Jim. “Man, what are you doing here? You should be home with your wife.”
Jim said, “Thanks for letting me be one of your mules. I needed the money.”
Skelkey shook his head. “I wish I could help you some other way. You don’t need to be in this business.”
Jim said, “Neither do you.”
Skelkey laughed. He rolled his head around and then back again. His head stopped moving cocked to the side and with an uncompromising stare. He told Jim, “I am a gang leader. This isn’t a business for me. This isn’t a way for me to pick up a few bucks when I have bills coming due. This is my life.”
Jim nodded. “I will never play baseball again. I can’t work for
Sports Insinuated and Sports123Up want nothing more to do with me. I’ve applied for jobs with other companies but I think I have been blacklisted. I need money. Let me work as your mule.”
Skelkey said, “The last time you worked for me was nothing to brag about. You almost got caught.”
Jim agreed. “Thank goodness it was you watching my back. In my defense it was not my fault. You know that.”
“I know. Weird shit happened. But it happened. And it often happens to you.” Skelkey said, “What if I just give you the money. How much do you need?”
Jim said, “I am not a charity case. Let me earn the money.”
Skelkey said, “Mr. M. does not like you.”
Jim said, “I don’t like him either.”
Skelkey said, “He does not like you knowing who he is.”
Jim asked, “Do you think he wants me dead?”
Skelkey said, “I’ve told him to leave you alone.”
Jim said, “That was brave of you.”
Skelkey said, “Every once in a while I have to let him know that I am not his flunky. I am my own boss and I call some of the shots. I am not his shoeshine boy. But you may still be in danger. He may not be my boss but I am not his boss.”
Jim nervously laughed as the weight of the conversation weighed upon him. “Yeah. I have gangsters to the left of me and white collar criminals to the right and I have no idea who is the more deadly of the lot.”
Note that the Bare Detectives is now the Hearthville Serial:
I have unpublished Bare Detectives: A Wrecked Life but it will show back up again rewritten as part of the Hearthville Serial. The above excerpt was to promote Bare Detectives: A Wrecked Life.

Excuse me, we don’t have to rethink anything
So there is an article on Yahoo from Reuters that is titled:
“Web needs rethink to stop “nasty” ideas spreading, says its creator”
The World Wide Web needs a complete rethink to prevent spying and the spread of “nasty, mean ideas” on social media websites, its inventor, Tim Berners-Lee, said on Monday.
Me:
Before I was online I used to operate along with lots of other people BBS software where people could call into our computers and download files and discuss stuff on our public and private forums. They could also play games on our computer systems. Then the internet became a big thing and some BBS operators began to pull usenet into their forum system. Back in those days, it was a big deal.
Now understand, the software we used was way ahead of and superior to the crap that would come to be called the web. The web was more simple to use but it was inferior in many ways to other access tools people might use such a telnet, ftp, and mail systems. The early web sites were far inferior to what we could do with our own network systems that people could access by phone. When myspace came along, it largely emulated what people could do on the old BBS software.
The BBS software people could use back in those days was free speech. Usenet was free speech. And from the very beginning there were what was called flame wars where people disagreed and sometimes the forums had to be closely monitored just as online internet forums still do. But the monitoring was done in such a way that largely allowed free speech and dissenting opinion.
When you read stuff like Tim Berners-Lee you need to remember that the BBS systems largely went away as people discovered the internet and the web. But do not think those systems were inferior as far as social networks. They were not. They were inferior in that you had a limit to the number of phone lines and the number of people who could connect at once. We could not compete against the Information Services like AOL and GEnie and Compuserve and the larger internet which many of us didn’t have the resources to provide an entry to access.
Also remember that the government wanted us and CB radios and to some degree HAM radios to go away. They wanted the communication on a system they could spy on and that they could censor. Although it has been a long winding road we have gone down from the 1980’s, the “fake” privacy, the secret spying, and the blatant censorship that Tim Berners-Lee speaks to was the government agenda from the very beginning.
This is opinion. Do not read this as an attack on Tim Berners-Lee. It was not intended as such.
The point of this is to hopefully make you think and to oppose ideas that support broad censorship. Never be afraid of ideas. Not even nasty ones because even a nasty idea can lead to the mother of the next invention.
Don’t believe there is such a thing as privacy on the internet. There never has been.
