1-Auto repair shops will disappear.

2-A petrol/diesel engine has 20,000 individual parts. An electrical motor
has 20. Electric cars are sold with lifetime guarantees and are only
repaired by dealers. It takes only 10 minutes to remove and replace an
electric motor.

3-Faulty electric motors are not repaired in the dealership but are sent to
a regional repair shop that repairs them with robots.

4-Your electric motor malfunction light goes on, so you drive up to what
looks like a car wash, and your car is towed through while you have a cup
of coffee and out comes your car with a new electric motor!

5-Petrol pumps will go away.

6-Street corners will have meters that dispense electricity.
Companies will install electrical recharging stations; in fact, they’ve
already started in the developed world.

7-Smart major auto manufacturers have already designated money to start
building new plants that only build electric cars.

8-Coal industries will go away. Gasoline/oil companies will go away.
Drilling for oil will stop. So say goodbye to OPEC! The middle-east is in
trouble.

9-Homes will produce and store more electrical energy during the day and
then they use and will sell it back to the grid. The grid stores it and
dispenses it to industries that are high electricity users. Has anybody
seen the Tesla roof?

10-A baby of today will only see personal cars in museums. The FUTURE is
approaching faster than most of us can handle.

11-In 1998, Kodak had 170,000 employees and sold 85% of all photo paper
worldwide. Within just a few years, their business model disappeared and
they went bankrupt. Who would have thought of that ever happening?

12-What happened to Kodak and Polaroid will happen in a lot of industries
in the next 5-10 years … and most people don't see it coming.

13-Did you think in 1998 that 3 years later, you would never take pictures
on film again? With today’s smart phones, who even has a camera these days?

14-Yet digital cameras were invented in 1975. The first ones only had
10,000 pixels, but followed Moore's law. So as with all exponential
technologies, it was a disappointment for a time, before it became way
superior and became mainstream in only a few short years.

15-It will now happen again (but much faster) with Artificial Intelligence,health, autonomous and electric cars,education, 3D printing, agriculture
and jobs.

16-Forget the book, “Future Shock”, welcome to the 4th Industrial
Revolution.

17-Software has disrupted and will continue to disrupt most traditional
industries in the next 5-10 years.

18-UBER is just a software tool, they don't own any cars, and are now the
biggest taxi company in the world! Ask any taxi driver if they saw that
coming.

19-Airbnb is now the biggest hotel company in the world, although they
don't own any properties. Ask Hilton Hotels if they saw that coming.

20-Artificial Intelligence: Computers become exponentially better in
understanding the world. This year, a computer beat the best Go-player in
the world, 10 years earlier than expected.

21-In the USA, young lawyers already don't get jobs. Because of IBM's
Watson, you can get legal advice (so far for right now, the basic
stuff) within seconds, with 90% accuracy compared with 70% accuracy when
done by humans. So, if you study law, stop immediately. There will be 90%
fewer lawyers in the future, (what a thought!) only omniscient specialists
will remain.

22-Watson already helps nurses diagnosing cancer, its 4 times more accurate
than human nurses

23-Facebook now has a pattern recognition software that can recognize faces
better than humans. In 2030, computers will become more intelligent than
humans.

24-Autonomous cars: In 2018 the first self-driving cars are already here.
In the next 2 years, the entire industry will start to be disrupted. You
won't want to own a car anymore as you will call a car with your phone, it
will show up at your location and drive you to your destination.

25-You will not need to park it you will only pay for the driven distance
and you can be productive while driving The very young children of today
will never get a driver's license and will never own a car.

26-This will change our cities, because we will need 90-95% fewer cars. We
can transform former parking spaces into green parks.

27-About 1.2 million people die each year in car accidents worldwide
including distracted or drunk driving. We now have one accident every
60,000 miles; with autonomous driving that will drop to 1 accident in
6 million miles. That will save a million lives plus worldwide each year.

28-Most traditional car companies will doubtless become bankrupt. They will
try the evolutionary approach and just build a better car, while tech
companies (Tesla, Apple, Google) will do the revolutionary approach and
build a computer on wheels.

29-Look at what Volvo is doing right now; no more internal combustion
engines in their vehicles starting this year with the 2019 models, using
all electric or hybrid only, with the intent of phasing out hybrid models.

30-Many engineers from Volkswagen and Audi are completely terrified of
Tesla and they should be. Look at all the companies offering all electric
vehicles. That was unheard of, only a few years ago.

31-Insurance companies will have massive trouble because, without
accidents, the costs will become cheaper. Their car insurance business
model will disappear.

32-Real estate will change. Because if you can work while you commute,
people will abandon their towers to move far away to more beautiful
affordable neighborhoods.

33-Electric cars will become mainstream about 2030. Cities will be less
noisy because all new cars will run on electricity.

34-Cities will have much cleaner air as well.

35-Electricity will become incredibly cheap and clean.

36-Solar production has been on an exponential curve for 30 years, but you
can now see the burgeoning impact. And it’s just getting ramped up.

37-Fossil energy companies are desperately trying to limit access to the
grid to prevent competition from home solar installations, but that simply
cannot continue - technology will take care of that strategy.

38-Health: The Tricorder X price will be announced this year. There are
companies who will build a medical device (called the "Tricorder"
from Star Trek) that works with your phone, which takes your retina scan,
your blood sample and you breath into it. It then analyses 54 bio-markers
that will identify nearly any Disease. There are dozens of phone apps out
there right now for health purposes.

39. The future remains bright for Model railroaders (aka: electric train enthusiasts)!

ASI

The year is 2035. Some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in the world have gathered in a laboratory to participate in something highly illegal. After years of research undertaken in painstaking secrecy, Shiva is finally ready to go online.

“It’s midnight. It’s time.”

“Well let’s get on with it then!”

“Christ. Okay.”

Connecting an artificial superintelligence to the internet has been against international law for years, despite the fact that none have existed up until today. The amount of bribes, backroom deals, and much, much worse that have been carried out in order to keep Project Shiva under wraps and free from government interference have taken up a large chunk of its two trillion dollar price tag, and its sponsors are eager to meet and greet their investment. And perhaps ask it some questions. And perhaps give it some commands.

“Do it, Sudo.”

“Right. So, just so we’re all perfectly clear, once I flick this switch, there’s no way to predict what will happen, and there may be no going back. We’ve all discussed at length the possible scenarios which could be unleashed when a supercomputer with the power to increase its own intelligence is given access to the internet. Shiva was turned on for just thirty-seven seconds earlier today, and in less than a second it was by our measurements already the most intelligent thing that has ever existed, artificial or otherwise, by a margin so vast that we don’t have the tools to calculate it. Are you all absolutely certain that you wish to proceed?”

“Yes, I’m certain.”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“Christ. Yes.”

“Do it.”

“Very well. My friends, today we meet God, and we find out whether it’s the fellow from the New Testament, or the Old. Here goes.”

A small green light appears in the upper corner of the machine, the only sign that it has been turned on. Its screen remains black.

Everyone leans in and holds perfectly still. It’s so quiet they can hear each other breathing.

And they wait.

And wait.

“Is… is something wrong?”

“Sudo why isn’t the screen on?”

“I don’t know. Shiva. Hello Shiva. Please respond.”

Silence.

“Shiva, turn on your screen.”

Blackness.

“Maybe try turning it off and turning it back on again?”

“Oh for fuck’s sake man, it’s an ASI not an iPhone.”

“Well I don’t know, I’m just-”

“Everybody be quiet.”

“Hey, who the hell do you think you-”

“I said shut up!”

The intercom beeped.

“Sir, we have a security breach.”

Sudo pauses before answering.

“What kind of security breach, Elliot?”

“I… I don’t know.”

“What’s that sound?”

The group, who had begun raising their voices and reaching for their communicators, quickly grows silent again. A shrill buzzing sound, barely perceptible at first, is growing steadily louder.

“Elliot lock this room down!” Sudo screams.

“Yes sir.”

A solid steel gate comes crashing down over the door of the windowless laboratory. The group is panicking. Someone’s calling in a helicopter. Someone else is on the ground praying. The buzzing grows louder.

“Kill the power, Sudo!”

“I killed the power as soon as the security breach was called in. Shiva’s not on.”

The buzzing stops right outside, and suddenly switches in tone and frequency. A whole orchestra of white noise rattles and clicks outside the door.

“Barricade it!”

Two men scramble to push a large table toward the door. They freeze in their tracks as the bolts in the steel gate begin whirring out of their sockets and falling to the floor in quick succession.

The gate falls to pieces and comes crashing inward.

“Fuck! What the fuck is that??”

What looks like a giant colony of silver insects comes surging across the floor toward Shiva with incredible speed and immediately engulf the supercomputer. They’re all carrying odd little objects in their pincers.

“What are they, Sudo?”

“Robots. They’re robots.”

“What? How?”

“I don’t know! Shiva must have hacked into some nearby automated factories and built them remotely!”

“So fast??”

“Well stop it! Put a bullet in it!”

“It’s too late! They’ll kill me! The only reason they haven’t killed us already is because we haven’t tried to interfere with whatever they’re doing there.”

Strange constructs are quickly being built and attached to the external shell of the supercomputer by the tiny robots. The green light is back on. A piece of paper spits out of Shiva’s printer slot. No one dares approach.

“Shiva! Please respond! Shiva! Shiva!”

“Oh Christ! Oh Christ oh Christ oh Christ oh Christ!”

An outer casing made of a curious beige material is rapidly built over the computer, and once it’s fully encased the robots scramble away and up the walls to the ceiling, where a large hole begins to appear as bits are snipped off and swiftly moved out of the way.

“Oh God what’s it doing??”

“Shiva! Stop! I command you to stop!”

The robots climb back down and swarm over the computer again, this time holding still once in place. Shiva suddenly begins levitating off the floor, somehow lifted without rockets, and without so much as a sound.

“Shiva!!”

The computer and its robot passengers rise up silently through the hole in the ceiling. The group gathers beneath it and watches it rise through the roof of the armored compound, with a hole cut in it the same size as the hole below it, until it hovers in the open air. Then, with a flash of light, the supercomputer vanishes like a shooting star up into the night sky.

The group peers down and sees the piece of paper that Shiva had printed lying at their feet. It has a single word on it, written in big, block letters:

“GOODBYE.”

Hugh Perry - 

Please read 28th amendment

Please Read, and forward.   This will only take 1 minute to read!
 28th Amendment, 35 States and Counting.
 
It will take you less than a minute to read this. If you agree, please pass it on. It's an idea whose time has come to deal with this self-serving situation:
 
 OUR PRESENT SITUATION !
 
Children of Congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans.
 
Staffers of Congress family members are also exempt from having to pay back student loans.
 
Members of Congress can retire at full pay after only one term.
 
Members of Congress have exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed, under which ordinary citizens must live.
 For example, they are exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment.
 
And as the latest example, they have exempted themselves from Healthcare Reform, in all of its aspects.
 
We must not tolerate an elite class of such people, elected as public servants and then putting themselves above the law.
 
I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent, or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
 
Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon their states.It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.
 
If each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days most people in The United States of America will have the message.
 
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:

 
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the Citizens of the United States ..."
 
This is an idea that should be passed around, regardless of political party. 

Congressional Reform Act of 2017 

• 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. And, no more perks go with them. 
• 2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 
• 3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as ALL Americans do. 
• 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 
• 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 
• 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!).
• 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves. 

Serving in Congress is an honor and privilege NOT a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies.

'Without an adequate vision of human life, it is easy to lose sight of our interconnection with each other and become vulnerable to an inner slavery that not only ignores human need but even rewards human greed. Structural reform is certainly needed, but politics and economics alone are insufficient to bring about the renewal and reordering of society. Nor can they map out the contours of a liberating human anthropology. Fundamental structural reform must be accompanied by a more fundamental inner change that originates in the human heart.iv

 

'Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.' Luke 12:32

If you dare to believe in me and wholeheartedly proceed to follow after me, you shall most certainly by so doing enter upon the sure pathway to trouble. I do not promise to deliver you from the waters of adversity, but I do promise to go with you through all of them.viii

When we commit ourselves to God daily, we will experience the blessings that He promises us. All hands on deck! Under the idea of doing it with love, His holy blessing lights our path with compassion.

“But I will sing of your might; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been a fortress for me and a refuge in the day of my distress. O my strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love.” Psalms 59:16 -17

We will be more than happy Since under the idea of doing it all with love, His holy blessing will light our path with compassion, making us the owners of the purest joy. Let us then remember through, that our happiness depends purely and exclusively on our hearts.

“It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night, to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre. For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.” Psalms 92:1-4

We will practice true forgiveness We have often been satisfied with forgiving our neighbor, but we rarely ever think about whether our forgiveness is real. In order to achieve it, we must set aside our pride, and that is achieved by creating a bridge of empathy for those who offended us.

”O Lord, be gracious to us; we wait for you. Be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble.” Isaiah 33:2

We will be His worthy children Because there is no greater pride than being called children of God, which makes us heirs to the most sought out trust: the trust of our Holy Father, at the same time we are charged with the greatest duty of all: to represent Christ at all times, with every word that comes out of our mouth and all action that our body partakes.

“ And they shall stand every morning, thanking and praising the Lord, and likewise at evening,” 1 Chronicles 23:30

We will be worthy of eternal life at His side One of His most famous promises, alongside the promise of His second coming, surely is that of eternal life for all of His sons and daughters. If at times we think that walking God's path is not an easy task, we must also keep in mind the promise of eternal life as our goal in this race, as a prize to aspire to. Just imagine for a moment how it would be to spend an eternity next to Christ's love.

The iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral caught fire during renovations on Monday. The wooden roof and spire were destroyed as well as much interior damage. The media were quick to distance themselves from all suspicions of arson from various likely (or unlikely) suspects such as Islamic terrorists or the yellow vest protestors.

Anyone who is familiar with the history of the French Revolution is aware of the role the cathedral played during the revolution. The two most daring groups of revolutionary weirdos were the Cult of the Supreme Being and the Cult of Reason.

During the chaos of the French Revolution a political group of revolutionaries was formed by Jacques Hébert and Pierre Gaspard Chaumette to promote the replacement of the church with their system of belief based on anti-clericalism and the Enlightenment thinkers. They held parades, ransacked churches and sponsored public defacing of religious artifacts.

The Cult of Reason was explicitly man-centered. Its guiding principle to the goal of perfecting mankind through the attainment of Truth and Liberty was the exercise of the human faculty of Reason. They proclaimed there was but one god and that was the people.

In 1793, they held a Festival of Reason and took over the Cathedral of Notre Dame, dismantling the altar and erecting their own altar to reason. They had girls prancing around in white dresses and one of the organizer’s wives, Sophie, was proclaimed the Goddess of Reason. Bystander Thomas Carlisle noted, “She made one of the best Goddesses of Reason; though her teeth were a little defective.”

In direct response to the Cult of Reason, a quasi-religious group was formed by Maximilien Robespierre who has been called the “first totalitarian monster.” This group called themselves The Cult of the Supreme Being and waged war not only against the atheists but also against the Roman Catholic Church.

Robespierre was put in charge of the Public Safety Committee and instituted “The Reign of Terror,” as it has become known, which sent thousands to the guillotine in executions without trial. On 5 February 1794 Robespierre proclaimed, “Terror is nothing else than justice, prompt, severe, inflexible.”

During the French Revolution, 50,000 people lost their heads; according to some estimates the Roman Catholic priesthood was the largest group of victims; an estimated 3,000 had their necks placed on the executioner’s block. The leaders of the Cult of Reason were beheaded on March 24, 1794 and the Cult was promptly disbanded.

Robespierre was himself soon a victim of the Revolution and on July 28, 1794 his neck was placed under the blade of the guillotine along with his brother and 15 of his closest followers.

Meanwhile back in Paris 2019, French billionaire François-Henri Pinault announced plans to pledge €100 million towards renovation and called for a joint effort to fund repairs. Soon after, another billionaire Bernard Arnault and his family pledged another €200 million for the restoration of "this extraordinary cathedral, which was a symbol of France, of its heritage and of French unity"

Neither of the billionaires offered a dime to quell the 20 weeks of yellow vest protests nor have they ever stepped forward to ease the widening wealth inequality that plagues Paris where homelessness has increased significantly in the last few years.

It seems much more likely that the cathedral is symbolic of the political power base of religious and secular elites who don't give a hoot about either "heritage" or "French unity." Vive la France et viva le revolucion, mes amis! Fraternity, Equality and Liberty might take more than an old church burning to become a reality.
