Terrible thing I have been dreaming about and even thinking about in my waking hours. Where are we going with AI technology? I have had these intensely realistic dreams where, in a distant future some terrible things happen. Now, this could have something to do with all the things I input into my brain, and have over the years. All the influences from video games and television programs. The reemergence of Fallout 4 as a television series brought me back to playing the game, the dystopian futuristic wasteland that man created by intentionally dropping nuclear assault weapons. Basically the most nightmarish, paranoia inducing fear a human can have, wrapped up in a neat little package of entertainment for us to mentally digest. The brain absorbs these things like kids at a fairground absorb cotton candy. My dreams have been much different than that though. See, I spend a lot of time looking at the AI images created by myself and others. Just like many, I am experimenting with

Time again to write some stuff I have rattling around in my head. Why? I'm bored mostly. When you are young and surrounded by friends, partying, immersed in a career or looking for work, trying to find your way, sometimes you don't feel the need to record anything, any thoughts. As you age, sometimes you look back, if you have a memory at all, you remember some of those thoughts you had way back when, and with some degree of nostalgia, you wonder if they really meant as much as you thought they did. So, you start writing and see what happens. Back when I was younger, there was no internet. I am sure there are many people who remember those days, I know because I have read people talking about them. Us Gen Xers grew up with no global interconnectivity. We grew up not really knowing as much about history, current events, global awareness over issues, so honestly, as I get older, I look at the way things are now and feel pretty alienated. I want to agree with more "liberal" values, as we

How about a piece on the subject of the actual terrible things happening in society? There are killers and worse in the world. Real ones... at least that's what I hear. I have watched a lot of documentaries about some very bad people. I know I am not the only one who has. What drives these people to be the way they are? To do the things they do? I think we have come a long way in understanding. So, there are many ingredients that cook up a terrible human being. Some of it is societal. Often it starts in childhood. Parents can cause issues, though often it seems more like they ignore them. A lot goes on in a persons young years, the years of upbringing. "Nurturing" is a strange beast. A young child needs a mother to be caring. Abandonment can cause lasting damage, though some mothers can also cause other issues, when they have their own psychological issues, but fathers can often be worse. Many of the most notorious serial killers had either one or the other parent missing, or they
