I’m thinking more and more about how much extraordinary range there is to human beings, and how sad it would be if we were all replaced by robots. I’m sure they would miss us.
You make a pivotal point here, Celia. The Gordian's Knot of all this, for me, is how incomprehensible it is that a group of people might strive, violently yet oh so patiently, for a mechanical utopia which they rule over completely. I don't get the appeal. Who actually wants that? Surely the thrill is in the chase. They're going to have nothing left to do if they get what they want: total obedience.
Yes, they would miss us. How can life be worth living after you've stamped out the unexpected?
The unexpected. Precisely the right word Tob. That's what "makes us human." We're not predictable, ie not an algorythm. Not code. There will never be another "Peter O'Toole." Never another Toby, never another Celia, etc etc. I have felt myself becoming less human, less "myself," less recognizable, "since Covid," and now wish to fight it with more determination. Watching Dick Cavett show clips on YouTube is a fascinating glimpse backward in time, to pre-pharma man. Everybody has a very distinct personality. Nobody speaks of political pieties, everybody has a great sense of humor, of the absurd, of the absurd in themselves. I really recommend it, when the AI spirit seems to overtake us. We can have a special forum where we share these things. Maybe even this very thread...
There would certainly be no more Peter O’Tooles in their joyless, technocratic world. Count me out! They will eliminate all spontaneity and grace in pursuit of their idea of perfection. Just more reason to fight against their dystopian plans.
Thanks for sharing. I could never endure what we're going through without keeping a certain amount of time light hearted. In fact the last time our EU-WEF puppet gvt here in Netherlands re-introduced their lockdown measures (beg December) I consciously decided to react not with anger (as I might have otherwise) but with more not less light heartedness inside. This actually led to me recording an hour of my own light heartedness which can be heard on my bitchute and YT channels under the name "Confucius in LA". O'Toole was profoundly Human. It's not surprising his ilk doesn't exist anymore given the the general cultural direction htings have gone in...
What a class act he was. I've been thinking along those same lines lately, Celia – what happens when we are all reduced to a life of serfdom/digital slavery? Where will the inspiration, the creativity, the human light come from?
The infamous Peter O'Toole. What a lad!! He strikes a match, then extinguishes it between his fingers. When asked, Doesn't it hurt? he replies: Of course it hurts. I just don't mind that it hurts. - scene from Lawrence of Arabia.
Maybe I'm just used to getting into folks' heads too much, writing fiction, but if we take Solari and van Wolferen's observation that Gates is on top of WHO, and thereby atop many nations, and we consider how he got to where he is, at least two things spring to mind re. this (robots as progress):
1) Gates is used to being able to delete stuff at will (eugenics mindset), and,
2) he's used to being able to re-program stuff at will (globalist totalitarian mindset).
That's fine with bits (nerdy; buggy); it's not fine with DNA (sociopathy).
It will all fail, because there is one above Gates, in charge (and powerfully capable) of infinitely more because He (God) also, uniquely, *creates* and re-creates ex nihilo.
Very Refreshing to have a laugh with Peter O'Toole, in these depressing times. He always did seem to belittle the Grim Reaper with gallows humor, and somehow we all managed to "carry on" with a cheerful outlook, in spite of it all.
He was one of my favorite "classics" as an actor. Obviously he enjoyed comedy, but his historical roles really gave the viewers an indelible inside look at the characters he portrayed, which (historically correct or not) made these famous people in history realistically memorable.
One of my favorite roles O'Toole played was Flavius Silva, in a huge ABC miniseries called "Masada" . General Flavius Silva was the general who had the task of taking down the last Jewish resistance of fighters atop Mt. Masada which had held against the Romans. As history records, these Jews all committed suicide rather than surrender. It was a tragic story but provided a great glimpse of what happened there, and the circumstances these poor souls all found themselves in.
Including Silva, who could not change the outcome.
“It distresses us to return work which is not perfect.” Lovely.
“The Lion in Winter.” - Another movie in which his full life force is on display. From the opening scene to the end. One of my top, top favorites. He and Kate Hepburn are quite a pair. Have not seen the play.
The WEF, deep state and arrogant elites want only robots to do their bidding. It's perfect. They make excellent slaves, are not free thinking, never need food, run on little energy, do not need to be potty trained, never get sick except for an occasional glitchy virus, work endlessly, and are easily tracked and controlled. Other robots can be programmed to create new robots.
There is no need for a mass of humanity that destroys the earth owned by the elites (they do have 90% of the wealth) and therefore all worries are lifted. These idiots will try to turn humans into robots, but that will fail...so humanity will be expunged from the planet. It's the survival of the insanest!

You want absurd? And humorous? Try this! (I know, not exactly what you were thinking! :-))

They’ll eat each other very quickly once they have what they think they want.

I feel as you do. No, thanks!

"They" are a humorless lot so maybe not. But thanks for the link. Made my morning!
I don't want to be a robot. I like getting up to mischief.
See my comment above!
That was uplifting and I actually laughed. Haven’t done that in a while

Phew! Now I know what I want the kids to say when they scatter my ashes.

...who is ‘they’...
...’they’ would have had to love in order to miss...
....’they’ won’t miss us.
...and i won’t miss ‘them.’

Celia, you are a true knight.
O'Toole's story resonates especially well with folks dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Ethyl.
This one is for those dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Maria Juanita.
