What’s wrong with people, in order to make small talks, invariably ask you if you believe in God. I’m pretty sure, if 7 bilions say Yes, he will still force his dog to nod consent.
They will never be satisfied with their questions: Do you believe in God? They cannot admit that clergies doubt God at least once a day.
It does Not matter what is your religion: If you don’t carry one of the colonial passports, then your assassination is an invisible occurrence

I want to accompany Elon Musk on his daily work “randonnés”: I like to be first to observe the onset of his Insanity
If a massive solar gamma ray charge does Not ravage earth in the next 50 years, it is inevitable that data cloud will crash completely before then.
We will have to restart saving our lousy knowledge accumulation
If a meteorite fails to crash on earth within a century, it is still inevitable that a massive wild fire will burn the land.
Our crazy species survived near extinction several times, but it was due to Natural calamities. This time around, we will Not survive extinction from man-made chain reactions of catastrophes.
The moment we try to “Control” one chain reaction, we ignite another one.

Priver les gens des illusions (terre promise…) et la nuit toute noire les ensevelie
