justTravis View Profile	Any Good News Today? Posted : 8 Feb, 2026 02:28 PM I guess that I never really thought about drain pipes freezing. If it gets to cold I guess that a person might not be able to use the sink...even if they have running water, is that right?
justTravis View Profile	Where will the science take us? Posted : 6 Feb, 2026 05:00 PM Gandhi didn’t actually ever say “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Here’s the real quote… While all of this “be the change” talk is good counsel, if we dig a little bit deeper, we realize that he wasn’t just telling us to lead by example, or to not get caught up in other people’s business while we still have our own issues to deal with. What he actually said was something much, much deeper. “We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.” – Mahatma Gandhi He was revealing a profound spiritual truth that what we see in the world is no more and no less a reflection of what is unseen inside of ourselves. https://josephranseth.com/gandhi-didnt-say-be-the-change-you-want-to-see-in-the-world/
justTravis View Profile	Cutting the head off of the snake Posted : 5 Feb, 2026 07:23 PM I know that some people would say that The United States needs to withdraw from all foreign conflict, ensuring that first domestic issues are solved first...I agree with half of that statement. I think that by engaging in almost every conflict is feeding the war machine, and a group of someones are profiting off of the death and destruction. But (excuse the crude anology) just like every pimple/boil has a core that needs to be gotten rid of...so to the war machine surely has a head. When the head is attacked then the war machine will weaken. I believe that part of the head went out the door when Nicholas Murdao was detained. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/01/03/how-us-attacked-venezuela-captured-nicolas-maduro/88008790007/ According to me an attack on another part of the head might soon be underway. https://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/leave-iran-now-us-advisory-to-american-citizens-warns-against-relying-on-government-help-2863912-2026-02-06

Its like a teaching that I learned a few years ago...I have no right to be disappointment in the outcome of an event unless I can define how I wanted things to happen.
justTravis View Profile	U.N. Says It’s in Danger of Financal collapse Posted : 4 Feb, 2026 09:30 PM So...I guess that they are going to cancel there plans for 2030. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a global framework adopted by United Nations member states in 2015, consisting of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aimed at ending poverty, protecting the planet, and ensuring prosperity for all by the year 2030. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of social, economic, and environmental sustainability.

justTravis View Profile	Where will the science take us? Posted : 4 Feb, 2026 04:07 PM I an watched an interview where the ceo of "Old Glory Bank" was being asked about his opinion concerning the direction that the job market is traveling in. I would like to repeat his position: people were told in the 1990's 'learn to write computer codes' or at least go to college an get some sort of white collar job'. But now the recomendation is that people learn some type of trade, like an electritian, or a plummer. Technology is not yet able to send a robot to a job site and have the robot wire your house, also robots are not yet able to preform plumming work, however ai is able to write computer codes by using a website called "base44.com" https://base44.com/
justTravis View Profile	Where will the science take us? Posted : 3 Feb, 2026 04:38 PM Recently I was watching a t.v. show where a quilt was being made. At a certain point the host noted that some of the stitches did not properly line up. 'Flaws/imperfections' are normally a hallmark sign of something that is not mass produced. I have thought a little about it and machines typically make everything the same. It is my belief that in the future many of the products will all be the same. So currently speaking giving someone a hand made scarf that contains a noticeable flaw might be seen as a 'mistake' but in the future the flaw might be valued!
justTravis View Profile	U.N. Says It’s in Danger of Financal collapse Posted : 2 Feb, 2026 10:29 PM I guess you can say that the u.n. was only able to function because it had somehow tricked/trapped America into being its sugar daddy. -The world body warned it would run out of money by July and have to close its New York headquarters if countries, namely the United States, did not pay annual dues that amount to billions of dollars.- I already submitted my aplication 1 or 2 years ago...but I will re-afirm my resolve "I would consider it a pleasure to drive the wreckingball that smashes down that building" https://www.commondreams.org/news/un-imminent-collapse
justTravis View Profile	Where will the science take us? Posted : 2 Feb, 2026 05:51 PM Thats a great question. In short the answer is 'it depends'. I do not claim to fully understand how everything will work but I will understand. For the last period of time (say) 6,000 years most people have been on similar pages. However circumstances will not be like that forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIk3su-0SG8 the above has been drawn on prophecy rock. (although my interpretation might not be the typical interpretation I will share the view) Some people will gladly except the opertunity to be less and less human...but there is another group of people that say science and ai are nice however that is not going to stop me from being human, I will continue to do things like plant corn and potatoes. I reject the 'primrose path of ease'. I do not need a machine to carry me around rather I will walk if I am able! So the answer to the question "Where will the science take us?" is it depends...I plan on accepting new science like I take cough syrup. However some people throw caution to the wind an drink from the bottle
justTravis View Profile	THE FUTURE AND JOBS Posted : 31 Jan, 2026 05:34 PM I enjoyed learning that you used to be a postal employee! You are correct about the world becoming more and more automated. In my opinion this fact brings up a few important issues. (Normally I would be against the idea of universal basic income because in the past the idea was closely associated with communism...but in the not to distant future machines will do most of the work.) Question #1 people need to ask themselves is 'How would I spend my time if money was not an object? For example, if machines were able to plant and pick food some farmers and gardeners would stop working so hard...I enjoy the challenge. This leads to another important point, in the past good while society has entermingled the ideas of needing to work and therefore work is bad. But work is not a bad word its a scientific word that means a push or pull on an object. I know people that have "retired" and they think that doing whatever they want will be fun, and it might be for a few months. But what retirement boils down to is being able to be a self starter. But some people are convinced that work is bad so I guess the future of thoes people will be like the people in the movie Wall-e -The people of Earth ride around this space resort on hovering chairs which give them a constant feed of TV and video chatting. They drink all of their meals through a straw out of laziness and/or bone loss, and are all so fat that they can barely move.- https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910970/plotsummary/
