The other day I was kind of reflecting on my grandfather and his life. He was born in 1920, and he remembers seeing actual Civil War Veterans, and people still used horses in downtown Fresno. All of the technological advancements that he saw were such a marvel to him, the internet blew his mind. He wasn't afraid of it, he was excited when he got his first computer and "dialed in". He never really grasped the computer age, and I don't blame him. Now it has me thinking what the technology will be like when I'm 80 or 90 (if I make it), it really is impossible to imagine. Not sure how I feel about it, but like you pretty much summed up, you can't stop what's coming.
P.S. Best of luck to your G-men on Saturday, my Chiefs play earlier that day too. Should be fun. Get plenty of sleep and stay hydrated my friend, it's gonna be stressful.

No thought on platforms like Substack funding real, independent journalism again?
We're in a transitional period. Things sometimes look like they're ending, only to experience rebirth.
