And we are not talking about Individual Vehicles being at risk, but some meaningful subset of the entire fleet... ALL AT ONCE!
I'm OK disappearing and/or ceasing to exist.
Hopefully, I don't get tortured too much between here and the grave.
TODO: Go Bag w/ Multiple Tiers. It basically means Be Ready! I guess Be Prepared is The Slogan I learned in Boy Scouts. But I aspire to be more passively prepared.
"You call it The ICU," Nikolai deadpans. "But I prefer to look at it as Mandatory End of Life Torture for those who have The Ways & Means. By this I mean The Capitalistic Pig Dog Millionaire and his Lap Dog Croonies. But I am willing to extend such luxuries to The Working Class if they be so foolish as to desire the same fate."
Be Done... with this project... everything.
FOOD: More and More, One Massive Meal in multiple courses... often resembling two meals back-to-back bracketed by snacks and a dessert.

Gluttony is a common symptom of Hedonism. Can it exist external to this Complaint?

I simply don't read anymore. I spent a few hours reading every day for most of my life. And now, nothing.
I'm losing my interest in writing, as well.
DREAM: We had ourselves a good cry. If I were willing to share (and/or had much interest in writing anymore), this would easily be one of those landmark dreams. It was a Metaphorical (if not literal) meeting of the minds.
DREAM: I wish to treat and engage Brainlings, Humans, and Entities as welcome equals. If I have a Moral Philosophy, this is it.
I stood my ground and calmly stated my position. In the end, what more can a person do, but hope for the best?
The Quantum Entanglement Myth?
On their honeymoon, on a lark and as agreed, the husband goes down to the casino and places a bet. He does not tell his wife the outcome; but rather, has the winning banknote in his wallet... or he does not. They return home. The wife may either talk to her husband or call the casino and ask the pit manager; but either way, once she knows the story from one source, she will know what the other would have said: i.e. she will know both whether her husband won or lost the bet (at which time, he will reveal [or not reveal] the winning banknote) AND whether the casino won or lost the bet.
Both items are two ways of measuring the same thing: a result.
Flip a Coin. If Heads is facing up, Tails is facing down. Entanglement is just a messy and misleading name for such a Dependent Relation.
Existence is Paradox in Motion.

Deal With It!
No matter the paper, writing (and in fact, everything) is akin to building castles in the sand as the tide marches in. It is transitory... ephemeral.

An Ideal: No Predation. Ultimately Benign Stewardship Throughout.
Compunction: No Attack
Compulsion: Aid
I will let others work out the details of the instantiation.
Where did we go wrong? See Predation, above.
Predation: Violence. Bondage. Slavery. Restraint. Forceful Extraction. Stealing. Taking.
Ultimately Benign Stewardship: A Positive Net Gain for The Creature(s) [singular and collective] in Question... which is a failed attempt and nowhere near complete. In short, I do not know. The one is so much easier to formulate than the other.
How can karma be measured or detected?
Detection: A Unitary Valued Measurement
In a World where Wishes work, Truth is less meaningful, as Truth may be changed by a Wish.
Thus, in a Magical World (God, et al), Truth is of limited value: see karma, above.

DREAM: Closing message, as if on a mug...
Shame in Act,
Thought,
and Deed.Light has a wavelength.
Therefore, light exists in (and travels through) time.
In other words, for The Laws of Physics to hold any value or make any sense, Light is prohibited from travelling faster than The Speed of Light.
Light is not FTL.
Math can (but that does not mean any given Math does) Model Reality.
But Reality is more than a Mathematical Model.
Thus, All Mathematical Models must fall short and are not perfect representations.
This does not mean Models are not useful. But it does mean all Models have their shortcomings and limitations.

If one were a Scientist (almost no one is) and they (we, she, and/or he) wanted to conduct an experiment (in relation to God, karma, or the afterlife), what could one do?

An Esoteric Gossamer Strand
I was told I saved a life. I'll take it.
I do not carry Historical Figures around in My Head like Imaginary Friends... nor any Contemporaries. Clearly, many do with Pop Stars and the like (if only to a lesser extent as fans, see below). It begs the question of How many grow up with Benjamin Franklin (George Washington, or the like) as Imaginary Friends... or Patron Cartoon Character Favorites. If I cite Mescal as a case in Study of The Former (Imaginary Friend*), I can boast no example for The Latter. I do not have a Personal Relation (one way, iconic, adoring, or greater) in any way shape or form {to any Historical Figure}. I could have a Fake George Washington (gads, I meant Benjamin Franklin) visit me today? But not George, so who? And then, let's keep it fake so I can monetize {my musings}. But is that a requirement (any longer)?
*: "Why, thank you," Mescal says, accepting the honourable mention in his most distinguished (actor behind the scenes) form.

WALK: Snow! A Solid Four Inches! A dog barked at me. I'm happy I remained calm. I have been known to escalate the situation in times past. So, I'm feeling pretty proud, successful, or whatever.
Thanksgiving & Christmas were pretty hard on me. But it seems that's that, done and gone. I mean, I had a great time. But there's always the danger of negative emotional anticipation.
DREAM/OM: I am using flashes of white as my Karma Detector. Well, it's a Working Theory, anyhow. I have no idea if it's accurate... or objective... or subjective... or really just random.
Does The Number Line (increment, successor, i++) exist external to Human Thought? I have my doubts.

I guess I should point out in these gender fluid times anyone is a man if they say they are a man. {And such a claim can be situationally dependent.}
